Chapter 18
Xie Lingxu lowered his eyelashes calmly, his voice flat, "Who?"
Su Yin sneered, carefully examining his face, and then looking through him at her former enemy.
God must be playing a trick on her, she could meet someone so similar to her in another time and space.
"A bastard with the same name, the same appearance, and the same voice as you."
Xie Lingxu: “.”
He neither admitted nor denied it, but just took a step back and took the initiative to distance himself from her.
"Even this nasty habit is exactly the same."
Su Yin curled her lips and didn't want to get too close to that face.
She raised her head and exhaled.
That bastard really died under the thunder. She was happy, but deep down in her heart, she secretly felt a kind of...inexplicable disappointment.
It's such a pity that he died from the thunder instead of at her hands.
But in this way, all the actions of this person in the past few days can be explained.
After thinking about it, Su Yin suddenly became curious: "I'm targeting you so much, and you're not angry?"
Xie Lingxu remained calm and responded, "Accommodating the patient will help him recover."
"What a good dean."
She smiled suddenly, and the two moles under her eyes seemed to be endowed with a strange magic under the dim light, making people unable to look away.
"Well, Dean, why haven't you shown any reaction to my brutal treatment of two medical staff?"
Su Yin leaned over and looked at him intently.
In the past, when they met, he wanted to stab him to death on the spot, but now... This gentle and almost sweet tone made Xie Lingxu frown slightly and open the window with his backhand.
A cool night breeze blew by, and the strange and uncomfortable sticky feeling all over my body finally disappeared.
He unconsciously relaxed, his expression remaining calm. "He's violating the sanatorium's rules, privately harassing patients, and getting himself into trouble. Why should I care?"
This is a hypocritical statement.
I just advised her to live in a society ruled by law. These words and actions are not what a law-abiding person would do.
Su Yin still remembers how Gu Qian was tricked into the sanatorium.
This dean was not a good person to begin with.
She finally tried: "I treated you like that before, and you weren't angry at all?"
Didn't even ask why.
Judging from his reactions, it’s no wonder she admitted her mistake.
He was waiting for this sentence. Xie Lingxu took out the letter of entrustment that he had kept in his pocket and handed it to him.
Su Yin: "What is this?"
"Your father's letter of entrustment."
She took it and read it quickly. It said that she had a premonition that something bad would happen. It didn't say who did it or why. All she could see was the writer's concern for his daughter and his trust in his old friend.
If Su Yin had seen the letter before today, she might have been completely clueless, but after what she overheard in the woods, it was crystal clear who was behind this.
She asked Xie Lingxu, "What's my relationship with that guy called Chen something?"
"...your uncle's son."
"Oh, isn't it obvious? It was that old man who did it."
Xie Lingxu did not comment.
Since the soul has been replaced, this matter has nothing to do with him anymore. He has done his best tonight.
He lowered his eyes, his features expressionless and cold to the point of being inhuman.
Su Yin didn't expect him to give any reaction. It is better to rely on oneself than on others. This matter needs to be considered in the long run. She will wait until she figures out the grudge between the original owner and those people.
She put the envelope carefully into her pocket and said with a smile, "Dean, I'm sleepy now and want to go back and rest."
Xie Lingxu: “?”
so?
"Sufficient sleep is beneficial to recovery. Didn't you say that we should accommodate the patient?"
Su Yin knew how to climb up the ladder, "I think the dean doesn't want others to know that we did this together tonight."
...How did it come to this?
Xie Lingxu had a blank expression on his face. "Just say what you want to say."
She smiled cunningly, and although the environment was dim, her eyes were as bright as stars.
"Please ask the dean to lead the security guard outside away."
Xie Lingxu: "..."
He sighed silently, and after a long silence, he compromised and said, "Hide well."
Su Yin patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I have experience."
…
Tonight was probably the most ridiculous night in Xie Lingxu's first half of life. He actually helped that evil woman to cover up.
Perhaps he was influenced by Su Yin's previous words "I'm already here", and now it has come to this, he is numb and it is too late to get off the pirate ship.
His footsteps in the corridor were unusually heavy.
The light in the security booth was still on. Because the dean was present in person, the security guards did not dare to let their guard down and worked with full vigilance.
Xie Ling raised his finger and tapped the glass lightly, "There's a problem on the third floor."
"ah?"
He looked so calm, as if nothing had happened, and the security guard was stunned for a moment.
Xie Lingxu said again, "There's a problem on the third floor."
"What!"
The security guard finally reacted, was shocked, picked up his baton and ran to check the situation.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Yin, who was hiding in the dark, sneaked out.
This dean is very cooperative.
Before leaving, she waved to him and said, "Thanks, you're a better person than that bastard."
Xie Lingxu: “.”
After the people ran away, he pinched his eyebrows and returned to the third floor.
Before Su Yin left, he closed the door and window. When he came up, the security guard had just opened the door of Dr. Wang's room.
Doctor Wang was lying on the floor of the living room, with no clothes on. The bath towel around his waist could only barely cover the key parts of his body after the beating. The injuries on his body were clearly visible, which was scary to look at.
The security guard couldn't speak clearly, "This...he..."
What kind of hatred or vengeance could make someone beat like this!
Xie Lingxu remained calm and began to make up a story: "They were like this when I came up."
Without waiting for the security guard to speak, he said lightly, "I don't care about any internal disputes among the medical staff of the sanatorium, but it's really disgraceful to have such a commotion."
The security guard thought about what he said.
Yes, he was watching the door of the medical building, and no outsiders came in, not to mention that the two men didn't make any screams before they were beaten, which means that the perpetrator was an acquaintance!
It's too cruel for an acquaintance to be so harsh.
He asked with lingering fear: "Dean, what should we do now?"
Normally they should have called the police, but given their geographical location and the identities of the patients here, it wasn't appropriate to make a scene.
Xie Lingxu glanced at the tightly closed door opposite without leaving any trace. "First, investigate to see if there are any clues. After daybreak, send the person out for treatment."
Security guard: “Yes!”
The first person he thought of was the person living opposite, so he quickly knocked on the door to ask for clues.
"Dong Dong Dong"
The sound lasted for a long time, but no one came to open the door.
The security guard noticed something was wrong and subconsciously turned the door handle, easily opening the door.
In the darkness, there was also a person lying on the floor of the bathroom, the only place with light.
He gasped, "Dean...Dean...there's another victim here!"
Xie Lingxu cast a glance inside, then quickly looked away.
The security guard found a blood-stained green sack in the bathroom, as well as a thick, sturdy wooden stick with some blood on the end, which was obviously the murder weapon.
He was horrified, "The murderer is too cruel and arrogant!"
It would be bad enough if he broke into a house and committed the crime under someone's nose, but he also brazenly left the murder weapon at the crime scene. What kind of person is that!
"Dean, there are people like this mixed up in the medical team..."
Xie Lingxu interrupted him calmly, "Most of the doctors in the hospital are assigned to patients and their families. The hospital has no right to replace them on its own."
He stopped there and didn't say anything else.
The security guard had a vague feeling that he had heard something unfinished.
So what the dean meant was that these people represented not only the doctors themselves, but also the wealthy families behind them. Perhaps this incident was actually aimed at those people behind the scenes, a feud between the wealthy families...
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was difficult and beyond his ability to handle.
Xie Lingxu spoke at the right moment: "Call a few doctors who can handle trauma. I'll go contact the plane."
"receive!"
The security guard admires the director from the bottom of his heart for being able to remain calm when faced with such a situation. The top priority should indeed be to deal with the patients first.
He saluted the dean and quickly ran downstairs to wake up the other doctors.
Soon, the lights in the villa lit up one after another, and the quiet night was instantly filled with noise.
Under the moonlight, the person who was supposed to contact the person did not take any other action, but returned to the monitoring room alone.
The dim large screen displayed the surveillance footage in real time. He found the main control computer and clicked a few times. All the records of that night disappeared silently.
Xie Lingxu was not very familiar with modern things. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the water on the table and poured it behind the machine.
"Sizzle"
The image on the surveillance screen distorted for a few moments before going completely black.
He then took out his phone and said methodically, "Arrange a plane to pick up two people and take them to the hospital tomorrow morning."
"The surveillance camera at the nursing home is broken. I'll replace it tomorrow."
"Also, the bed in the dean's bedroom and the bamboo and wood outside should be replaced."
On the other side, the Xie family’s housekeeper looked at the time. It was three o’clock in the morning.
He choked, "Got it."
