Chapter 793: Chapter 790 Visit

"Renxin Hospital? I got it," Lin Tian nodded and settled back into his seat.

"Did you really not do it?" Zhang Lingyu suddenly looked up and asked.

The little girl was obviously asking on purpose. Lin Tian laughed and said, "If I had done it, it wouldn’t have been so light. That’s not my style, and he’s not worthy of my personal intervention."

"That makes sense. If you really had taken action, I’m afraid his life would be in jeopardy," Zhang Lingyu said.

"Not necessarily, because he’s also not worth killing in my eyes," Lin Tian said indifferently.

"Could it have been Sun Decai who did it?" Xiao Manxuan also leaned in and said.

Lin Tian shook his head and said, "Hard to say, Lai Xiucheng makes friends with thugs outside, who knows if he’s offended someone."

"You never know, maybe Sun Decai arranged for Lai Xiucheng to fake an injury and pin it on you just to smear your name," Xiao Manxuan analyzed.

"Still ended up in the hospital, can you fake an injury like that?" Lin Tian wondered.

Zhang Lingyu answered for him, "Don’t forget, Lai Xiucheng studies medicine. In the medical field, there are always classmates you know. It’s not strange for someone familiar to issue a fake certificate."

"Just like ordinary people admitted to the hospital, if you know someone inside, you can have that person talk to the attending doctor and get by without being overcharged too much. The hospital is a deep water," Zhang Lingyu said matter-of-factly.

"Whatever his motives are, I’ll face them head-on. If he messes with me, I might just break him for real," Lin Tian said coldly.

"Lin Tian, you should still be careful. They can’t beat you, but they can tarnish your reputation, making it impossible for you to stay at school," Xiao Manxuan reminded him.

"Alright, I’ll be careful," Lin Tian replied nonchalantly.

When the lunch break came around, Lin Tian once again asked Zhang Lingyu to take Xiao Manxuan back, while he left the school alone.

Lin Tian drove along the highway, and soon arrived at a hospital in the city center. He looked up at the sign above the entrance: Renxin Hospital. He was there for no other reason than to find Lai Xiucheng.

The private hospital was rather large, comparable to general public hospitals, but still fell short of the one Zuo Hongyi was admitted to, which, if Lin Tian remembered correctly, was called Xinghai Hospital. It was a private hospital and the best one in Xikou City.

Lin Tian headed straight for the hospitalization department. The information desk was right at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor. It might have been lunchtime, as there was only one young nurse on duty.

The young nurse was engrossed in her cellphone, not looking up even as Lin Tian approached.

"Excuse me, which room is Lai Xiucheng in?" Lin Tian asked politely.

The nurse, seemingly in the middle of a chat online, replied without lifting her head and with a hint of impatience, "It is now nap time. All visitations are denied."

"Nurse, it’s not even 12:30 yet. There’s still a ways to go until nap time," Lin Tian said, unfazed.

"Can’t you understand what I’m saying? I said it’s nap time, it’s nap time..." the young nurse started to snap as she looked up, but upon seeing Lin Tian, her words stopped abruptly.

Lin Tian’s mouth curled into a faint smile, and a glimmer of blue light flashed in the depths of his eyes. The nurse, as if struck by an electric current, trembled slightly.

Her impatient expression vanished, and she said somewhat frantically, "You... just a moment, Lai Xiucheng, right? I’ll look it up for you..."

After checking the computer, the nurse told Lin Tian, "Lai Xiucheng is in ward 502."

"Thank you," Lin Tian said with a smile, then turned and walked toward the elevator, leaving the somewhat bewildered nurse behind.

Recently, Lin Tian had discovered some uses for his zombie eyes; besides the inherent night vision and x-ray abilities, it seemed they also had a deterrent and enchanting effect.

He wasn’t sure if these were original features or if they had emerged after his power increased. As long as he allowed a hint of the zombie’s innate aura to show through his eyes, it had a deterring effect on men’s spirits, and for women, in addition to deterrence, it seemed to hold more of an enchantment.

However, this effect wasn’t very pronounced, not even on ordinary people, and it needed the element of surprise. If the other party was focused, the effect was not significant, which meant this ability was ineffective against Ancient Martial Artists like the Miss.

He had just been trying his luck, and didn’t expect that the nurse would actually fall for it, which made him somewhat hopeful that as the power of his zombie body strengthened, this ability would evolve and become stronger.

Indeed, Lin Tian had seen similar eye-related abilities in ancient texts; however, they weren’t called zombie eyes but Pupil Skills. For example, it was said that some people were born with "Sharingan" eyes, possessing extraordinary observational and Illusion Technique abilities.

But those descriptions in the ancient texts were too mystical for Lin Tian to accept as reality, even as a zombie himself.

The elevator was empty at noon, so Lin Tian went straight to the fifth floor, stepped out of the elevator, glanced at the room numbers in the hallway, and quickly found the room 502 mentioned by the nurse.

The door to the ward was closed but not locked. Lin Tian pushed it open, and as soon as he did, he saw a person half-reclining on the hospital bed. This person was Lai Xiucheng, who was watching television and happily eating lunch, leisurely and contentedly.

When Lai heard the door open, assuming it was a nurse, he turned his head to look. Aside from being satisfied with this private hospital’s food, the pretty little nurses were what he most appreciated.

Instead of a beautiful nurse, however, he saw the last person he wanted to encounter. The food in his mouth spurted out suddenly.

"Lin... Lin Tian, how did you turn up here?" Lai Xiucheng remained stunned for a while before regaining his composure, then asked nervously.

"Are you trying to say, why do I know you are in this room? Can’t help it, I’m handsome and charming, so the nurse told me frankly," Lin Tian said with a smile, looking infuriatingly nonchalant.

Lai Xiucheng curled his lip covertly, silently repeating "narcissist" over and over in his mind, then asked, "What do you want with me?"

Lin Tian did not respond immediately, but walked up to the bedside, glanced at Lai Xiucheng’s plaster cast-covered leg, yet grabbed onto the bedside railing. Applying a bit of force, the iron railing emitted a grating "creak."

Then, to Lai Xiucheng’s horror, the iron railing twisted and deformed, eventually changing from round to flat. He felt spasms in his thigh as if Lin Tian’s hand were grasping his foot.

"I heard Doctor Lai was ill and came especially to visit. They said you had a severe fall, but it seems to me you’re rather enjoying yourself," Lin Tian said beaming.

"I’m hospitalized, isn’t that obvious? My whole left leg is in a cast, yet you still say such heartless things," Lai Xiucheng said, feigning anger.

"Is that so? Falling from upstairs and only hurting one leg, Doctor Lai is quite fortunate. I’m also studying medicine, how about I check it for you?" Lin Tian said with a smile. Although he was asking, he didn’t wait for Lai Xiucheng to respond before his hand was already on the plaster-covered leg.
