Hospital 444
Chapter 522 - 24 Meeting

Chapter 522: Chapter 24 Meeting

Mei Quzhen chose the meeting place with Yan Xin to be the grand lobby on the first floor of the W City Wanyong Shopping Mall.

The mall’s design featured an open atrium, allowing a clear view of the grand lobby from above, ideal for spotting any ambush. Of course, even if someone were lying in wait, in this surveillance-filled mall, they would certainly have to be cautious. After all, this is still a society governed by law, and no matter how formidable these people were, it was absolutely impossible for them to contend with the authorities.

Mei Quzhen was quite confident about this.

She and Fang Zhou had also agreed to meet here. However, he would remain hidden, ready to strike only if unexpected situations arose, serving as a trump card. As for her husband, Zhao She, she had never considered bringing him along. Although they were husband and wife, she had to admit a harsh reality: although her husband was also a doctor in the Evil Ghost Department, to put it plainly, his abilities were far from sufficient to get involved in a struggle of this level.

Would this woman named Yan Xin come alone, or would she use this opportunity to target her through some kind of sorcery?

Mei Quzhen had considered all possibilities.

Regarding the concept and the curse logic of the "Seed Ghost," Mei Quzhen was completely ignorant.

And because she was ignorant, Mei Quzhen lacked any means of counteracting them. The opponent could use any form of malevolent spirit curse.

Of course, Mei Quzhen also held a trump card that could save her life.

That was, she could return to the hospital at any moment.

If the opponent dispatched ghosts into the hospital, then within the hospital, filled with numerous cursed objects, there would be plenty of ways to deal with and suppress them.

However...

Fang Zhou was still not here.

Mei Quzhen couldn’t help feeling worried.

Had something happened at the last minute?

Just as she was about to make a phone call, she suddenly noticed a woman approaching her.

"Doctor Mei Quzhen... right?"

She looked up at Yan Xin.

"That’s me."

The other party had arrived much earlier than expected.

An Xiunian sat opposite her.

Only a table separated the two of them.

Mei Quzhen had already thought of countless ways to subdue the other party instantly. She didn’t even sense any hostility or murderous intent from the other party, and as a Paranormal Doctor, she couldn’t detect any presence of malevolent ghosts nearby either.

If she couldn’t sense anything at all, it meant either there were no ghosts or... the ghost was at least at the level of a cursing spirit.

The first possibility was naturally a cause for celebration. If it were the latter, whether Mei Quzhen would live to make it back to the hospital was a big question.

"Miss Yan, right?"

"Since I already know you are Doctor Mei, of course I am Yan Xin."

Mei Quzhen and An Xiunian began to face each other.

At this moment, Mei Quzhen could never have imagined that what was in An Xiunian’s mind was not at all what she had anticipated.

An Xiunian was certain that the hospital, as a power, was a major enemy to the Yan Family.

But when the hospital really started to make contact with her, An Xiunian realized a big problem.

How could she seek help from the hospital?

Should she directly say she wasn’t Yan Xin, but was possessed by the deceased An Xiunian?

But would anyone actually believe that?

Well, these people all knew about ghosts and deities, so maybe they would believe. Yet, considering everything, how to make the other party believe her was also a very difficult problem.

Besides, she thought further.

Even if they did believe her, would they really help her?

The enemy of one’s enemy may be a friend, but that presupposes that both parties have some value in cooperation. Did she have any value that might make her an appealing ally to the people at the hospital?

Before understanding the inner workings of the hospital, she decided to keep quiet and instead try her best to pry out the hospital’s secrets from them. Then, she would find a way to gather information about the Yan Family.

"I’m not one for beating around the bush, so let me get straight to the point, Miss Yan." Mei Quzhen once again consciously checked her surroundings, finally noticing that Fang Zhou had appeared nearby.

With the sight of Fang Zhou, Mei Quzhen’s heart settled down.

With him overseeing, even if a cursed spirit appeared, making it back to the hospital to escape wouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Of course, the most she could do is run away, and after that, she would never have any contact with the Yan Family again.

Then she continued, "I’m here to discuss a potential collaboration with you."

Collaboration?

An Xiunian was greatly surprised when she heard the word "collaboration."

So, Hospital 444 doesn’t intend to be enemies with the Yan Family?

This was completely different from what she had initially expected.

No, this wouldn’t do. She was counting on the people from the hospital to save her life!

"The reputation of Hospital 444, whether you’ve heard of it before or not, you should have completely understood it after getting that business card, right?"

"Um... "

"Our hospital is dedicated to treating all curse-related ghost affairs. That is our purpose. Therefore, I believe that it is possible for us to cooperate."

"Go on," she said.

Seeing An Xiunian’s attitude, Mei Quzhen thought that "Yan Xin" seemed not too averse to her proposal, and a flicker of joy took hold of her heart.

If they could resolve issues through negotiation rather than combat, that would naturally be for the best.

She was of course aware that the person before her was likely a heinous criminal who didn’t value human life at all. However, weighing the pros and cons, understanding the curse methodology of the Malevolent Ghost was her primary goal. So, as long as she could achieve this goal, she was willing to discuss collaboration with the other party.

"From the hospital’s business card alone, one cannot discern the concept of a cursed object, so let me explain to you what a cursed object is. Simply put, we can surgically remove curses attached to humans. We can then turn these curses into controllable and utilizable cursed objects. These are the medicines we normally use to ward off curses."

Medicine?

Hearing this, An Xiunian’s excitement soared.

Doesn’t that mean that with a cursed object, she could deal with the ghost that appeared in the villa?

Well then, this so-called collaboration is possible!

Very much possible indeed!

But how would they trade?

Clearly, they wouldn’t just give her the cursed object for free, right?

"So, when you say cooperation, what do you want our side to do?"

Mei Quzhen hadn’t expected the other party to relent so quickly, so joy began to rise in her heart as well.

If negotiation was possible, then that was naturally the best outcome.

"My request is actually quite simple. To put it simply, I want information about the Seed Ghost. That’s not too much to ask, is it?"

Upon hearing that, An Xiunian was instantly dumbfounded.

What she feared the most was encountering such completely unfamiliar concepts.

Why! Why did she always come across such enigmatic people!
