Chapter 1339: Chapter 1334: Woman Dressed as a Man

"Are... are you Lin Jie?" The woman, who was half-way through tidying up, suddenly asked aloud.

"Hmm?"

Yi Huangcheng, who was spot-checking the documents on the side, was visibly startled at first but quickly realized why the woman would ask him that question. He had seen the words left by Lin Jie on the wall at the far end of the left corridor of the Second Ward. Given the words previously spoken by the man in the suit, Lin Jie was looking for someone — and so was he. It was not strange that this woman would make such a guess.

"You’re thinking too much. I’m not Lin Jie; I’m just like Lin Jie, also looking for someone. However, the person I’m looking for is just an ordinary person who might... already be dead."

Yi Huangcheng’s tone carried a trace of sorrow and a longing for hope. Perhaps it was the emotion in his voice that slightly reassured the woman. This man did not fit her impression of Lin Jie, although Lin Jie always appeared with a human-skin mask.

She had been a doctor for nearly thirty years, and during that time, she had seen the sorrow shown by countless families when faced with the impending loss of a loved one.

The woman neatly arranged a stack of documents in her hand and asked another question, "What is your relationship with this person you’re looking for?"

"She could be considered a relative."

"I see."

The woman nodded her head. Before long, the scattered documents on the floor were all tidy. She searched around and her brows furrowed.

"What’s wrong?"

"The documents in these two areas have already been taken by someone."

"Lin Jie?"

"It should be him."

Yi Huangcheng looked at the empty shelves, which apparently held categorized documents separately.

"What were they about?"

"They were records of administrative personnel promotions and job rotations in our hospital. Over here were all the patient registration records, which have all been taken."

"This..."

Yi Huangcheng fell silent, feeling suddenly indignant. Why was it so difficult to find just one person?

"Lin Jie!" He muttered the name, as if to deeply engrain it in his mind.

He didn’t make it difficult for the woman. After a while, Yi Huangcheng said, "Forget it, you can go."

"This... oh, okay!" The woman was momentarily stunned, somewhat incredulous that Yi Huangcheng was letting her go so easily.

But she didn’t hesitate. After Yi Huangcheng spoke, she quickly walked outside.

The man then jumped out of the window after she left, turning his head toward the direction where Tang Ye was. Although he didn’t see Tang Ye or catch a glimpse of him, Yi Huangcheng knew that the Heavenly Khan of the Royal Court was watching him.

He nodded, gestured slightly, and quickly disappeared from the spot.

Elsewhere, a man in a military uniform stubbed out his cigarette and spoke to the two people next to him in a mocking tone, "That guy doesn’t seem like Lin Jie."

"Should we stop him? What if he is Lin Jie? Are we just going to let him walk away?"

"If you want to go, go by yourself. You don’t recognize him, but I do."

"Who is he?"

"Seems like he’s one of Li Henian’s people?" "Indeed!"

"Then let him go, I guess? But what puzzles me is, what does Li Henian’s man have to do?"

"It’s best not to meddle in these matters. Possibly there are not only the two of us here; the Tribunal, Li Henian, and members of Bright Moon City might be lurking nearby, waiting for that person to appear."

"That person has already left; are you still in the mood to chat? What if he already knows something..."

"And besides," another spoke up, "even if the person Lin Jie is waiting for really shows up, how can you be sure?"

"We don’t need to be sure; I have a rough idea who Lin Jie is looking for."

"Who?"

"I have someone under me, who used to be the seventeenth director of the Mining Hospital named Xi Qing."

"Is that the person Lin Jie is looking for?"

"More or less... When we left Huachen Jiangtian, she begged me to take her with us, promising to do anything for me, because there was a man known as Paint Man who was after her, and she didn’t want to die."

"Why is he after her?"

"I don’t know; maybe she caused someone to wear a ’green hat,’ and then attracted the revenge of this murderer. Also, Xi Qing isn’t her original name."

"What was it?"

"I don’t know. She’s wary of Lin Jie, and to avoid being found by him, she even refuses to tell me."

"Tsk, that’s somewhat amusing."

"The person Lin Jie is looking for is probably a middleman who knows the name Xi Qing used before. We might be able to trace this middleman through Xi Qing."

"So you see why we need to be here, right?"

"You’ve checked as well? But you don’t seem like the type."

"Everyone has their quirks."

"Heh heh."

The few people exchanged smiles, creating an eerie atmosphere. Meanwhile, Tang Ye was not particularly disturbed by Yi Huangcheng’s departure. Instead, it piqued Su Sigui’s curiosity.

"Are you sure Lin Jie’s target will show up?"

"Don’t worry, I am."

Tang Ye confidently nodded. He had been checking his phone earlier, and the tragedy at the Mining Hospital had already spread online. By now, many people were likely aware of the situation here.

Su Sigui didn’t say anything, but she nodded, apparently having a lot of faith in Tang Ye’s abilities.

"When do you think that person will show up?" Su Sigui asked.

Tang Ye thought for a moment and stated matter-of-factly, "They should appear when things have simmered down a bit. Anyone Lin Jie is interested in shouldn’t be too..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Ye suddenly stopped and laughed, shifting his tone and exclaimed: "Hey, I underestimated her."

"Oh?" Su Sigui quickly caught on and turned her gaze where Tang Ye was looking—a group of soldiers were casually chatting. With her keen observation skills, she noticed that someone among the chatting soldiers had changed her appearance, just that she hadn’t been focusing on them earlier and didn’t see the change.

The soldier they were observing had delicate features and a beardless face. Before the Apocalypse, he would easily pass as a pretty boy. Moreover, the military uniform appeared somewhat loose on his body. Despite being several hundred meters away from Tang Ye and Su Sigui, their keen eyesight allowed them to see exactly how the soldier looked, down to the pores on his skin being crystal clear.

Moreover, Tang Ye had a special visual perception, making it impossible for the individual to hide—the individual was not a man, but a woman.

Su Sigui seemed to have realized this too and muttered, "Disguised as a man."
