Xie Qi inherited a hospital.
The hospital was located on a mountain in the suburbs, dilapidated and old. It rested during the day and operated at night, and came with a cat, a dog, and a gent...
Vampire Evolution Experiment
Mr. Chen, the owner of the China World Mall, originally from Hong Kong, built his fortune with his wife from scratch. However, some couples can share adversity but not prosperity. Since becoming wealthy, life has been unhappy. Their differing political views on work and work have led to growing conflicts, culminating in Mrs. Chen's miscarriage.
After that, Mrs. Chen resigned and retired. The next news about her was the news that she committed suicide by jumping off a building ten years ago. The outside world then learned that she suffered from a very serious anxiety disorder.
After all, the events of the previous generation happened so long ago that Xie Qi only heard about it from hearsay and had no idea of the inside story.
However, he knew more about Chen Jiaoyue, the daughter of the Chen family, and it was also because of Lu Xuedu.
If we talk about the obstacles in Lu Xuedu's smooth life, Chen Jiaoyue is one of them.
Lu Xuedu hated Chen Jiaoyue very much because she had pursued him during adolescence by spreading rumors, stalking him, and prying into his private life. Lu Xuedu had been good-looking since he was a child, and there were countless boys and girls pursuing him, but Chen Jiaoyue was the first one who was so creepy.
Fortunately, Lu Xuedu reported the matter to his family in time, and they took it seriously. They also went to Mr. Chen specifically, and later Chen Jiaoyue transferred to another school and never appeared in his life again.
"I heard that psychopath set up a stray dog rescue center. How can I not believe she has such good intentions?"
Xie Qi frowned. This was the first time he had heard of this. Perhaps because he now had a cat (Sheng Zhi) and a dog (Wang Xue), he was much more sensitive to this.
Lu Xuedu chuckled and said sarcastically, "But Xie San is also a bastard in human disguise. They should be locked up quickly and stop causing harm to others."
Xie Qi agreed with the first sentence and did not comment on the latter.
He didn't really want to accept Xie San's invitation. First, he didn't want to have anything to do with the Xie family anymore. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xie San was so eager to get married just to secure his position, and he was too lazy to get involved. Second, he wasn't that magnanimous, and he held grudges more than he imagined, so he didn't want to bless Xie San.
"Why not go? Xie San has already spread the word in the media that he wants to invite you, and the invitations have already been sent out. Wouldn't it be perfectly fine if you didn't come? That villain will definitely pay those marketing accounts to fabricate stories about you." Lu Xuedu said this with righteous indignation, and at the same time couldn't help but grumble in a low voice, "How did you offend him? For so many years, all the brothers in the Xie family have been picking on you, like a mad dog."
Xie Qi had been friends with him for many years and could tell at a glance that he was trying to provoke him. He raised an eyebrow and didn't respond. He even retorted, "If I go, will he stop plotting against me?"
"Uh..." That made perfect sense. Lu Xuedu racked his brains and managed to utter a vague sentence, "When the enemy comes, we must stop them with our generals, when the water comes, we must block it with earth..."
Xie Qi remained silent, waiting to see what else he could say.
Lu Xuedu couldn't bear the pressure and told everything. "Oh, it's just that my sister has gone back to work, and although my brother's health is gradually recovering, who would dare to let him go to that party... We all have business dealings with each other, so it wouldn't be appropriate not to go... Let's just cut off cooperation with the Xie and Chen families. I'm too lazy to serve them!"
Don’t say it, the young master would really do this when he gets angry.
Xie Qi held his forehead helplessly, "Then go."
"You go with me." Lu Xuedu said firmly.
Xie Qi laughed at what he heard. "Are you in elementary school? You still want to hold hands and go to the toilet?"
"Isn't it just like an elementary school student going to the toilet?" Lu Xuedu said in a deep tone, with a double meaning, saying that he was an elementary school student and that attending this engagement party was like going to the toilet.
Xie Qi was stunned when he heard this, but finally agreed because he could even curse himself when he got angry.
"Then hurry up, I'll wait for you at the Oracle Hotel." Lu Xuedu was afraid that he would go back on his word and refuse again, so he spoke like a machine gun and hung up the phone.
Xie Qi looked puzzled. He knew that the Xie and Chen families were getting married, and the hotel they chose for the engagement banquet must be a five-star hotel. But when did a five-star hotel called the Oracle appear in the city?
There is a time difference between the hospital and the real world. After Lu Xuezhou was discharged from the hospital, the Lu family had no doubt that they had stayed in the hospital for more than half a year. Xie Qi initially thought that the time difference between the two sides had disappeared, but after going back and forth twice, he realized that he was overthinking.
It seems that he has stayed in the mountains for too long and has been isolated from news from the outside world, but this is not a big deal.
Xie Qi packed up and went downstairs. It was just as night was falling, and he unexpectedly ran into Wang Xue downstairs.
"Wow, boss, you're so handsome!" Wang Xue's eyes lit up, and she showered Xie Qi with compliments without asking for anything in return. Xie Qi felt a little dizzy, and he coughed twice before recovering.
"Why are you back?" Usually at this time, Wang Xue would have been in the inpatient building preparing for opening.
"Oh, Doctor Yan asked me to send a patient's information to the morgue. It seems that he is a relative of the ancestor Anna." Wang Xue showed the file in her hand.
Xie Qi saw the name and race on the cover: Johnny Scolen/Vampire (IV).
When Xie Qi heard Yan Xizhao's name, he thought of his terrifying laboratory and began to wonder if Yan Xizhao had studied vampires. He probably had. That day, there were several people in his laboratory who looked indistinguishable from humans. He wondered which one they were.
When I thought about it carefully, I remembered that I had given the vampire, who was still a ball of light, to Yan Xizhao to raise. In fact, it was just sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth... Forget it, forget it. I can't think too much or too deeply about these things.
"Boss, where are you going? Are you..." Are you planning to run away? Wang Xue looked at him hesitantly.
The breeze in the air made Wang Xue's puppy eyes look even more hazy and pitiful.
Xie Qi had gained experience in raising dogs and could even understand Wang Xue's expression. After he explained, Wang Xue's eyes lit up, and the eyes of the other silent guy also lit up.
"Banquet? I love banquets the most. Can I go too?" Xun Meilan said generously, "I'll drive you in my luxury car!"
Xie Qi's heart skipped a beat, but he wasn't surprised at all. He was more curious about how Yiqifeng would drive a luxury car with people. If he drove it on the road, would he really not be considered an unlicensed driver and have his motor vehicle license confiscated?
And she looks like Aladdin's magic lamp, how can she step on the accelerator or brake?
With such doubts in mind, Xie Qi turned his head and saw Feng Po floating high into the sky. When she came down again, she rolled up a cloud that was dyed black by the night.
She rubbed her hands and placed them on the cloud. The cloud obediently allowed herself to be rounded and flattened in her hands, and soon it turned into a cool supercar.
"Come on! I'll give you a ride." Xun Meilan blew a breath at the remaining cloud, and a pair of sunglasses appeared in her hand. She put them on her nose and shook her colorful Mohawk. She looked unexpectedly cool and handsome.
Who can resist a sports car made of clouds?
Xie Qi's heart was shamefully moved.
——
The Oracle Hotel was booked out today by a large VIP. A well-dressed young man in a suit and with a slicked-back hair, and a middle-aged man with a big belly and a little fat were standing at the door, shaking hands and greeting the guests.
"Mr. Xie is a handsome man, and has achieved success in his career at such a young age. Congratulations to Mr. Chen for finding a good husband for his daughter!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Xie too, for finding a good match with your beautiful lady by your side!"
A good match? Ha. If it weren't for the Chen family, who would be willing to marry that crazy woman, Chen Jiaoyue? A slut who couldn't even get Lu Xuedu to pay her own way.
Xie Jin concealed the sarcasm and disdain in his heart and responded to them one by one with a smile on his face, "Jiaojiao is very good. I was worried that my father would dislike me. Fortunately, it's okay. When Jiaojiao agrees to my proposal one day, you uncles must come to my wedding."
"Yo - calling dad now?" Everyone looked at him and Mr. Chen teasingly.
Xie Jin pursed her lips and smiled, which actually seemed a bit shy.
Lu Xuedu, who had been sitting in the car watching this, shuddered. He rubbed his arms, turned around and started looking for the driver, "Quick, give me some eye drops! I saw something unclean and my eyes hurt!"
He was making faces and grimacing in a serious manner, but the driver didn't get angry. He just found it a little funny to see the young master acting like a big shot.
Suddenly there were several buzzing sounds in the sky, as if a plane was flying low.
Lu Xuedu finished his acting and looked at his watch. "Xie San alone is enough to hurt my eyes. If I run into Chen Jiaoyue when I go in later, I'm afraid I'll vomit on the spot... Old Xie, come here quickly, damn it!"
Speak of the devil, the driver looked carefully at the man not far away looking at the hotel and said, "Young Master, is that Young Master Xie Qi?"
As expected of a car driven by Feng Po, it was indeed as fast as wind and lightning, more exciting than riding a roller coaster. However, when coming down, Xie Qi's ears were temporarily deafened.
Xun Meilan deliberately found a dark place where no one would notice her to park the car, and then she rushed into the hotel like a wild wind, and then she said "I'm leaving" belatedly and floated over with the wind.
Xie Qi patted his ears and took a few steps towards the light. He immediately saw the brightly lit Oracle Hotel. "Why are there so many dogs?"
He was a little confused when he heard a familiar voice calling: "Old Xie!"
When Xie Qi walked to the front of Lu Xue's ferry, he looked at the Pomeranian lying against his legs and immediately realized that what he saw was not a real dog.
Lu Xuezhou has always only raised small animals, and the young master can't stand this trouble.
"Old Xie, look at that dirty stuff over there, tsk tsk." Lu Xuedu didn't notice his gaze and couldn't wait to share it with his friend.
"Can you see it?" Xie Qi thought he was pointing at the little thing at his feet.
"Isn't it right there? My 1.0 eyesight can see it so clearly, it really hurts my eyes." Lu Xuedu's disgust was evident in his words.
Xie Qi followed his gaze and saw Xie Jin standing at the hotel entrance. He was listening to his future father-in-law, Mr. Chen, talking to a man in a wheelchair with a humble and serious look on his face, his head slightly lowered. He looked like a normal person.
"It's really hurtful to the eyes." Xie Qi agreed with Lu Xuedu.
——
Xie Jin kept studying the man in the wheelchair, the head of Oracle Corporation. Oracle Corporation was a wealthy and powerful company, rumored to have backers from European royal families. Once it entered China, it invested hundreds of millions to build the Oracle five-star hotel.
Crucially, this man in power possessed the Midas touch, with every investment he made seeing skyrocketing returns, a source of immense envy. For a time, Pan, the chairman of Oracle, became a frequent guest of honor for CEOs of major companies.
He was also young and sat in a wheelchair, but he was completely different from the always smiling Lu Xuezhou. He had a cold face from beginning to end, showing his arrogance.
Hmm... Xie Jin, who had been staring at the person, noticed that the other party paused, and the corners of his lips suddenly raised a small arc, as if... he was smiling?
He lowered his head and asked, "Director Pan, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just a little tired." The man quickly straightened the corners of his mouth, his words leaving no room for doubt.
Everyone made way for him and watched his female companion in a black dress push him in. No one noticed that the dogs running around in the hall suddenly lay on the ground with a whimper, not daring to move.
An invisible aura enveloped the entire hotel, spreading seeds of unsettling excitement throughout the lobby.
The crystal chandelier swayed slightly, and the Wind Po who sat on it shook her red wine glass and uttered an unexpected long sound: "Yo - this is incredible."
-Hotel entrance——
"If Mr. Pan is willing to invest in our new project..." Mr. Chen didn't finish his words, Xie Jin understood.
A glimmer of ambition flashed across his eyes.
Xie Jin quickly noticed Xie Qi and Lu Xuedu approaching. He looked at Xie Qi with a smug look on his face, pretending to be a friendly and respectful brother. He deliberately took two steps forward and wanted to hug Xie Qi, "Xiao Qi, you're here."
Lu Xuedu stepped between the two of them and congratulated them in a perfunctory tone, "Oh, congratulations on your marriage, Xie San."
Xie Jin's fake smile froze.
Mr. Xie never paid much attention to the children of the Xie family. He gave them names with the numbers one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven, and told them to change them when they grew up. Many people didn't like names with numbers, and Xie Jin was the most resistant to it. He felt that Xie San sounded like calling a dog, and Xiao San was even worse.
Xie Qi thought the name was okay; it was easy to remember and not confusing.
"Thank you, Lu Xiaosan." Xie Jin changed the hugging posture to a handshake, and deliberately emphasized the word "Xiaosan".
Lu Xuedu was not afraid of him. Both of them were exerting their strength, as if they would not let go until their hands were crushed.
Xie Qi thought they were quite childish. Just as he was about to speak, Lu Xuedu suddenly let go of his hand, stepped back, and moved behind Xie Qi, using his height to try to hide himself inside.
"Dad." A cute and excited voice interrupted and paused.
Xie Qi saw a woman in a white dress running out holding a Chihuahua. The diamond hairpin on her head sparkled. She looked at him with a smile on her face, but soon she showed disappointment. Her eyes darkened in an instant and looked a little sinister.
"Why did you come out?" Director Chen's tone was a little anxious. He took his daughter's arm with one hand, smiling but forcing her to go in. "Jiaojiao, the hotel is full of guests, we can't neglect them."
"Dad," Xie Jin stepped forward and held Chen Jiaoyue's hand to help. "Jiaojiao is lively and it must be boring for her to stay in here alone for so long. Why don't we, my husband and I, go outside to welcome the guests, and Dad can go in and rest for a while."
Director Chen glanced at his daughter hesitantly, then thought that with his reliable son-in-law watching over him, nothing would happen. To be on the safe side, he lowered his status and personally approached Xie Qi, "Please come in, both of you."
Xie Qi nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen. We'll be back later."
Lu Xuedu stuck his head out and whispered in Xie Qi's ear.
"How long do you want to see? If you don't go in now, when do you want to go in?" After Xie Qi finished speaking, he walked straight into the hotel, and Lu Xuedu followed immediately.
Lu Xuedu didn't even look at Chen Jiaoyue the entire time, completely ignoring her absence. He was simply frightened by the harassment he'd endured during his youth, and if he couldn't afford to provoke her, why not just avoid her? Therefore, Lu Xuedu didn't notice how dark and terrifying the look Chen Jiaoyue cast upon his back was.
The Chihuahua in her arms flinched, shivering with its tail between its legs.
Xie Jin turned sideways, exerting force on his hands, and met Chen Jiaoyue's murderous gaze. He maintained a decent smile, lowered his head, and whispered cold and cruel words in her ear, "Jiaojiao, you stare at other men so intently, are you afraid that others won't know that you still have feelings for them?"
"If you don't give me face, I'll be in a really difficult situation. Who knows what I'll do? Jiaojiao, be good. Look at me and don't push me."
He laughed, lifted the hair scattered on Chen Jiaoyue's cheek and tucked it behind her ear, and deliberately touched her earlobe. There was an unhealed wound there, and it hurt a little when his slightly moist fingers touched it.
Xie Jin suddenly stopped moving, his eyes glanced downward, and a dinner knife was pressed against his waist.
"You bastard, if you dare to touch my things, I will kill you." Chen Jiaoyue whispered in his ear, her eyes hidden in the darkness were full of madness and coldness.
Xie Jin's deep-seated resentment suddenly surfaced like a snake spitting out its tongue, revealing some clues.
——
"Hiss." Lu Xuedu hugged his arms and trembled. He just followed Xie Qi's footsteps as he headed straight for the second-floor balcony. He didn't expect to see the ambiguous atmosphere between the newlyweds, but they seemed to be at odds with each other.
He couldn't hear what the two men were saying, but he saw the knife in Chen Jiaoyue's hand.
"Why is his mental illness getting worse? Wasn't he sent for treatment?" Lu Xuedu took two steps back and quietly hid in the dark, only his eyes glanced down from time to time, unwilling to give up paying attention to the progress of the situation.
He asked doubtfully, "Old Xie, do you think Chen Jiaoyue killed Xie San? Although this man is disgusting, his crime doesn't deserve the death penalty."
"Something's wrong." Xie Qi looked down at the crowd downstairs, feeling an indescribable intuition.
"What?" Lu Xuedu looked at him strangely and asked repeatedly, "What are you talking about?"
"Nothing." Xie Qi didn't know where to start.
Lu Xuedu felt that he was being perfunctory by his friend, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes impatiently, "What? We've been friends for so many years and you're still keeping me in suspense. How disrespectful."
Xie Qi was stunned, having never expected him to get angry.
Lu Xuedu looked at him and felt a surge of anger. He poured out all the thoughts he had been having for the past few months. "You've been so out of touch lately. Messages I send in the morning aren't replied until the next evening. Aren't you the boss of the hospital? What are you so busy with all day? You don't even have time to reply to messages?"
"Every time I asked you what happened, you didn't tell me, you hid it from me, or just gave me a perfunctory answer without any explanation. I just waited there foolishly, worrying that something had happened to you, or that Xie San had schemed against you, like a fool. And what about you? You don't even treat me as a brother." Lu Xuedu sneered.
This is indeed very wrong. Xie Qi frowned, intending to calm Lu Xuedu down first. "Now is not the time to talk. I'll tell you if you want to know after we leave the banquet."
"You tell me and I have to listen? Who do you think I am?" Lu Xuedu became even angrier.
Xie Qi: "Wait a minute." He turned around and began to look around.
The Wind Lady, who was sitting on the crystal chandelier and watching, was so curious that she turned into a breeze and blew over. "What are you looking for?"
"Glutinous rice or stone." Xie Qi said.
Feng Po was puzzled, "Why do you want that?"
Before Xie Qi could answer, Lu Xuedu screamed in shock, looking at him as if he were a heartless man. "You think I'm possessed?! You want to physically exorcise the evil spirit from me?! If physical exorcism doesn't work, are you planning to knock me out?!"
Feng Po was just about to say that it wasn't necessary when she saw Xie Qi nod deeply.
Feng Po: "..." Are you really good friends, not enemies?
Xie Qi didn't find glutinous rice or stones. He looked at his raised palm, then at Lu Xuedu's neck, wondering if cutting it with a knife could achieve the effect of physically exorcising the evil spirits.
"Du, I seem to have become stronger recently. Just bear with it, you won't die." Xie Qi said slowly and heavily.
Lu Xuedu forced himself to calm down.
Xie Qi finally had the energy to see what was happening in the hall. The situation of the humans was not that obvious, but they all revealed some of their nature to a greater or lesser extent.
For example, the fat boss of an entertainment company is a pervert, but his wife is very strong. Normally, he has the desire but not the courage to do it. However, today he dared to look at a strong woman in the field with lustful eyes. The current husband of that strong woman is her personal bodyguard, who has won a gold belt in world-class competitions.
Humans are good at disguise, and dogs are the most obvious example.
The dogs in the hall were seen barking at the people in the room with ferocious faces, and they jumped up to bite people's legs - but of course they missed.
Instead, it pounced on the other dog and the two dogs started fighting, with soul fragments flying like dog hair.
Xie Qi was about to say, "Negative emotions have been magnified," but a flash of silver hair flashed through his mind, and the words on his lips somehow became, "Someone opened Pandora's Box and released all kinds of evil into the world."
"Perhaps Pandora's Box opened itself?" Feng Po said, ruthlessly exposing the truth, "It was a box spirit."
——
"Box spirit, hahaha!" The man laughed without any hesitation while slapping the table. He had hair as red as the scorching sun, and the six wings behind him trembled, and golden fragments of light fell in the air.
He reached out to take the dessert on the table, and a golden particle fell on the arm of the busy shadow puppet at the front desk. Flames suddenly burned up and swallowed the shadow puppet in an instant, leaving only ashes floating in the air.
Bang—the plate fell to the ground, and the beautiful cake on it was smashed into pieces.
"Damn Seraph, calm down a bit." Pandora looked at him with a little annoyance.
The Seraph Michael, the current deputy lord of Heaven, saw injustice and meddlesomely investigated the vampire evolution experiment. He found that Michael was related to the two vampire cubs who escaped from the laboratory to find their mother, so he came to Michael's house.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you, Pandora, please forgive me." The man smiled brightly and spoke carelessly.
Pandora was too lazy to beat around the bush with him. "Why on earth have you come here? Don't tell me you've really lost your mind and are meddling in other people's business."
"I'm here to track down the artificial angels." Michael's golden pupils seemed to have flames jumping and burning in them.
——
At this time, the Shura ghost, who could no longer resist his appetite, followed the two foods and came to a food-growing area.
The author has something to say:
The Shura ghost has grown up and will wait patiently.
You didn't expect that Pandora is just a box spirit, so funny.
