Chapter 90 contains an important discovery.

Lin Baozhu slightly lifted the curtains, using the dim light filtering in from the window to quickly search through the office. Her fingertips traced every inch of the desk, her movements light yet revealing a hint of urgency.

"Damn it, there's nothing in this room except for medical records and a few medical books. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so little stuff here. This doesn't make sense!"

Lin Baozhu muttered curses as she flipped through the medical records. When she saw the last page with the words "Lin Dadan [Donkey Egg]" written on it, her fingertips trembled, and she stared intently at those words. Donkey Egg was clearly hospitalized in the internal medicine department, so how could he be in the infectious disease department's medical record? Even more bizarrely, apart from the name, age, and address, the rest of the information was all illegible scribbles.

"There was definitely something wrong..."

She squinted and quickly flipped through the medical records. Huang Xiaohua, Jin Yucheng… these names were all marked with an X in red pen, and the word 'nurse' was vaguely visible in the scribbles. A terrible guess formed in her mind: these nurses had probably discovered some secret they shouldn't have known, and were therefore silenced under some pretext.

She put the medical record into her spatial storage and was about to leave when her leg bumped into the table with a strange hollow sound. She narrowed her eyes, tapped the table with her fingers, then took out a screwdriver from her spatial storage and pried open the board along the seam...

Inside, there were dozens of neatly stacked large yellow croakers, not only that, but also seven rolls of "Taiwanese" (a type of Chinese currency)... All of these things were tightly stuck in the gap.

She carefully took everything out, and wow... there were 21 large yellow croakers alone, and a total of 7 rolls of "Great Unity" (a type of traditional Chinese currency), which is 7,000 yuan.

She deftly stored the valuables away and filled the hidden compartments with stones to ensure everything was restored to its original state.

"This harvest is quite substantial..." She smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling.

That medical record, in particular, is powerful evidence of their cruelty in taking lives.

After she packed everything up, she opened the door and left the office...

The corridor reeked of disinfectant. Through the small window of the ward, she saw the emaciated patient—his face was ashen, his lips deathly pale.

It's very unusual that none of the patients in the wards had family members with them.

"Auntie, save me! I don't want to stay here, Auntie... Waaah..."

A heart-wrenching cry suddenly rang out. Lin Baozhu turned her head sharply and saw a seven or eight-year-old boy struggling desperately on the hospital bed. His hands and feet were bound, and the flesh on his wrists and ankles was raw and festering from the ropes...

"Comrade, it's dangerous here!" The nurse who rushed over after hearing the noise looked her over warily.

Recently, several nurses in the hospital contracted an unknown disease and ultimately died despite treatment.

She keenly sensed that the nurses' deaths were not due to infectious diseases, but rather malicious murders, but she had no evidence whatsoever.

During this time, she was terrified. She didn't dare to report to the dean, fearing that the dean was also involved and that she would surely die.

The child was brought in by his stepmother a while ago, supposedly because he thought he had tuberculosis, but all his symptoms were unrelated to tuberculosis. The medication she was given was labeled for tuberculosis, but she could tell from the smell that it wasn't anything good.

Fortunately, she was the nurse who prepared the medications, and every time she prepared them, she would replace the bad medications with saline solution...

Lin Baozhu watched her enter the ward and gently coax the boy. Soon, the boy fell asleep peacefully. The nurse breathed a sigh of relief, tucked him in with a thin blanket, and opened the door to leave…

"Comrade, is there anything else?"

Lin Baozhu pointed to the boy and asked, "Comrade, how is my little nephew doing?"

"You're his aunt, right? Lately, Xiao Zhi has been talking about how wonderful his aunt is, it's a pity..."

"Sigh, he... was diagnosed with tuberculosis and has been receiving treatment in the infectious disease department."

tuberculosis?

Lin Baozhu narrowed her eyes slightly; she had been standing there for so long without hearing a single cough.

The nurse, seemingly oblivious to the confusion in Lin Baozhu's eyes, continued, "He's been here for two months, and you're the first person to see him. His stepmother brought him here initially, and she doesn't seem to treat the child very well. You're his aunt, so please show him some care... Look at me, why am I telling you so much? Comrade, since you're Xiaozhi's aunt, he'll definitely be happy to see you when he wakes up."

Lin Baozhu gave the nurse a meaningful look.

She said so much on purpose.

But she still didn't understand the purpose.

“I knew that woman had no good intentions toward him. Comrade, thank you for telling me all this. Here, take this can of food to quench your thirst. If that woman tries to do anything to my nephew, just tell me. I may not be very capable, but I have a lot of friends. I have classmates in the city bureau and even in the province.”

Hearing this, the nurse's eyes lit up. Suppressing her excitement, she said, "Serving the people is our duty. Comrade, there's no need to be so polite."

That's what she said, but her eyes were glued to the can!

Lin Baozhu shoved the can of food directly into her arms, pulled her aside, and tentatively asked, "There's no family history of tuberculosis in our family, how could he... Could the hospital have made a mistake?"

"Comrade, I'll be off work in about ten minutes. Could you wait a bit? I'll talk to you in more detail then."

Her friends include those in the municipal bureau and those in the provincial bureau. These are the highest-ranking people she can currently contact. These days, she has been unable to sleep because she has noticed some problems in the infectious disease department. In fact, she has a keen feeling that she is being targeted and that she might be the next one to be "infected" and die.

Therefore, we must seize this lifeline.

"Sure, I happen to have a few questions I need to clarify."

"After you get off work, wait for me at the hospital gate. By the way, my name is Wang Shenghua."

"My name is Lin Baozhu."

Lin Baozhu put the things in the ward and left...

*

Lin Baozhu waited listlessly at the hospital entrance, reading a newspaper with great interest. Meanwhile, the internal medicine ward was in complete chaos. The deputy director of the infectious disease department was furious when he learned that Lin Dadan (donkey's testicles) had been discharged.

He sternly addressed the vice president, "That unknown substance on him could be contagious. You let him escape. If something happens, who will take responsibility?"

"Deputy Director, please calm down. We've reviewed Lin Dadan's blood test results, and there are no problems. The reason he's still alive and kicking despite losing so much blood is because of his unique constitution. Besides, he's already been discharged from the hospital. We can't just arrest him based on suspicion without any evidence, can we?"

This is a hospital, not a bandit's den. It's almost time to get off work. You've been so busy lately, you probably haven't had time to shower, right? Go home and take a good shower; you smell!
