"Hey junior, join the flag-raising team! We offer more opportunities to earn credits here than the student council!"
Lu Qing looked up and saw the senior student smiling at her.
Although he maintained a normal social distance, Lu Qing keenly sensed a strange excitement in the way he looked at him.
She was about to take a closer look at the man's face when he was suddenly dragged away.
"You dare to implicate her? You don't want to live anymore!"
The speaker was another senior student recruiting new members. He lowered his voice, but Lu Qing still heard him.
The man who was being scolded looked puzzled:
"What's wrong with her? Why can't we recruit her?"
"She's the fiancée of the Gu family's heir. If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"
Upon hearing this, the man turned pale with fright and quickly walked away.
Lu Qing didn't have time to examine his face closely, but a doubt lingered in her mind.
It's just recruiting new members for the flag-raising team, right? How come recruiting her would cause her to offend Gu Xicheng?
At this moment, the head instructor blew the whistle, ending today's military training.
Lu Qing then put the matter out of his mind.
She went home as soon as military training ended, because her second brother Chu Qianlin's matter hadn't been completely resolved yet!
When Lu Qing arrived home, Chu Qianlin had just woken up, and Han Ziyuan was giving him a black glutinous rice dumpling to eat!
Chu Qianlin is a germaphobe, and looking at the dirty glutinous rice ball, he simply couldn't bring himself to eat it.
"Second brother, just eat it! Qingqing said that if you eat this, you won't have any lasting health problems!" Han Ziyuan advised helplessly.
Chu Qianlin pursed his lips, his face pale:
"Mom, I...I want to eat it too, but...it's just too dirty!"
Lu Qing pushed open the door and walked in, smiling:
"If you don't want to eat this, that's fine too. There are other ways to help you recover."
"What method?" Chu Qianlin's eyes lit up.
Lu Qing said with a smile:
"Just crush the white horse worm, the nine-fragrance insect, the autumn stone, the woodlice, and the night-shining sand together, make them into pills, and eat them!"
Chu Qianlin, being a medical student, naturally knew what disgusting things Lu Qing was talking about.
He quickly made a gesture reminiscent of Er Kang's hand:
"No need! I'll just eat this!"
Compared to things like horse manure, insects, and bat droppings, glutinous rice balls are much easier to eat.
Lu Qing specially brought some white sugar for Chu Qianlin to dip in, to change the taste.
Chu Qianlin suppressed his nausea and wolfed down the rice balls, finally managing to stuff them into his stomach.
Lu Qing hurriedly brought him a glass of water and handed it to him:
"Second brother, drink some water and you'll feel better in a bit!"
Before long, Chu Qianlin did feel some of his strength return, and he felt much more energetic.
"Thank you, little sister!"
"Second Brother, don't thank me yet. I need to ask you who you offended. How could someone use such evil magic to harm you?" Lu Qing asked, frowning.
Chu Qianlin thought for a moment and then shook his head:
"No! I don't remember offending anyone!"
Lu Qing examined Chu Qianlin's face and noticed that his career palace was surrounded by a bloody aura, indicating that this matter must have originated from his career.
"Have you experienced any changes in your career recently? Especially last night!"
When Lu Qing saw Chu Qianlin yesterday, he was perfectly fine, which means that person didn't intend to harm him.
Something must have happened last night that led to this disaster.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Qianlin exclaimed in surprise:
"By the way! The hospital director called me last night to tell me that I've been promoted to chief physician. Does that count as a change?"
Lu Qing nodded: "Of course! Who's the most unhappy about you becoming a chief physician?"
Chu Qianlin thought about it carefully and then frowned and said:
"It must be a colleague of mine, who is also a cardiac surgeon."
"That must be him!"
Lu Qing took out the bottle containing the evil spirit, tied one end of a red thread to the bottle, and the other end to the compass.
In this way, the compass can follow the aura of the evil spirit and lead her to the spirit's master.
"Second brother, put on your clothes and come with me!"
"good!"
Chu Qianlin immediately got up and put on his clothes.
Han Ziyuan quickly replied, "I'll go too."
"Mom, you should stay home. It might be dangerous to go out," Lu Qing said with a smile.
Chu Qianlin also advised, "Mom, listen to your sister. You stay home and wait for Dad and the others to come back so they won't worry."
"Alright then!" Han Ziyuan nodded, her eyes filled with worry as she gave her instructions:
You all need to be careful!
"Don't worry, Mom, I'm here, nothing will happen!" Lu Qing patted her chest to assure her.
Chu Qianlin got into the car and, following the direction indicated by the compass, led Lu Qing to a dilapidated old neighborhood.
"This is not Sun Bai's home!"
Lu Qing frowned slightly: "Go down and take a look!"
Chu Qianlin nodded, parked the car on the side of the road, and he and Lu Qing quietly entered the residential area.
The compass led them to an underground parking garage that had been converted into rental apartments, lit by dim, yellowish lights.
The two men peeked through the crack in the door and saw a middle-aged man, drunk and staggering, kneeling before a portrait and weeping bitterly.
"Honey, I miss you so much!"
"Wife, do you know what? I've avenged you!"
"The doctor who killed you is dying. The thing I refined has gone to find him. He won't live much longer."
"After he dies, I'll come find you, and we'll never be apart!"
Chu Qianlin looked closely and realized that the woman in the portrait was actually one of his former patients.
"How could it be him!"
Chu Qianlin's voice wasn't loud, but it was still heard by the man inside the room.
He rushed out immediately, and upon seeing Chu Qianlin, he flew into a rage:
"You quack! You're still alive!"
As he spoke, he grabbed a sickle from the side and charged at Chu Qianlin:
"I kill you!"
Lu Qing swiftly picked up a pebble from the ground and smashed it hard against his wrist, causing the sickle to clatter to the ground.
Chu Qianlin immediately twisted his hands behind his back and pressed him to the ground:
"Zhou Qiang, calm down!"
"You killed my wife! She's my only family now! How can you expect me to stay calm?!" Zhou Qiang roared angrily.
"Your wife has a serious heart condition. Even after the surgery, she may not live long. I told you this before the surgery!" Chu Qianlin said sternly.
"You're talking nonsense! It was clearly your mistake during the surgery that killed my wife!"
“Your family is rich and powerful, so even if you make a mistake, someone will cover for you. But what about my wife? She could have stayed alive!” Zhou Qiang cried out.
Hearing these words, Chu Qianlin was absolutely furious:
"Zhou Qiang, let me tell you! There were no problems with my surgery. The entire procedure was documented. Who told you I made a mistake?"
Zhou Qiang didn't believe it at all and said sarcastically:
"Someone as rich and powerful as you, even if you made a mistake, the evidence would have been covered up long ago. No matter how much you try to deny it, it doesn't change the fact that you killed my wife!"
Chu Qianlin was so angry that he wanted to beat him up, but after raising his fist, he let go.
"Fine! Since you think I killed your wife, I'll call the police right now."
"Your wife's medical records and the video recording of the surgery are all there. You can ask a doctor you trust to take a look."
After saying that, Chu Qianlin dialed the police.
The police arrived quickly and took them all back.
