Look at that poor child.
In this matter, the mosquito lied, but the story itself was true.
There was indeed a pitiful child who was bullied by Feng Yang for many years, and even nearly killed him in the woods.
...
Jiangshi First People's Hospital.
"Hello, I'd like to ask which ward Wang Xiaoxi is staying in?"
Xia Che, carrying a fruit basket, leaned over the edge of the service station and asked the nurse with a smile.
The other person was secretly watching a show on a tablet. Xia Che had learned before coming that the inpatient department's service station served as a front desk, and it was extremely busy when it was busy, but could be as quiet as a bird when it was idle.
Therefore, people who work here will more or less choose to slack off, it's just that everyone slacks off in different ways.
So, this person's way of slacking off is by watching TV shows?
Xia Che had a smile playing on his lips.
"Who are you to him?"
As the nurse flipped through the ward information, she glanced at Xia Che, somewhat surprised, and casually asked a question.
This person doesn't look like a good person...
He has a thuggish look on his face.
Is it because you got into a fight and sent someone to the hospital, and you're here to apologize?
Although such things are rare, the nurse has seen them quite often in the long she has worked here.
In her opinion, Xia Che should also fall into this category.
"His classmate."
Xia Che answered fluently.
The nurse thought to herself, "Just as I thought."
Every thug who came to apologize said the same thing in order not to lose face.
She pursed her lips slightly, inwardly despising Xia Che to the point of utter contempt.
"Third floor, room 302. Remember to keep quiet; that's a private ward."
Before long, the nurse found the other person's information and instructed, "Also, please report your name."
"Okay, my name is Xia Che, thank you."
Xia Che nodded his thanks, picked up the fruit basket, and turned to walk towards the elevator.
"He's polite, though...and his name is quite nice too. Is it all an act?"
The nurse sat back down, took out her tablet to continue watching her show, and shook her head with a pursed lip.
It's almost noon now, a relatively quiet time of day.
Hospital admissions are generally more frequent in the afternoon, while discharges are more common in the morning.
Therefore, as a receptionist in the inpatient department, the nurses rarely have the leisure to slack off.
But today is destined to ruin her mood for slacking off.
Not long after Xia Che left, a voice suddenly came from the front desk, which had been empty, asking, "Which ward did that boy go to?"
The voice was hoarse, as if the person hadn't had water in a long time. The sound was like it had been sawed, each utterance striking the heart and making one feel uncomfortable all over.
"Who...who are you?"
The script the nurse was reading was the kind of suspense drama perfect for watching while taking a break. The plot was getting increasingly scary when it suddenly got yelled at, and she almost lost her mind.
It was only because it was daytime and the atmosphere wasn't so scary that she felt she might have screamed out loud.
Moving her gaze upwards, she saw a hooded man who, despite not being particularly tall, exuded a strong sense of intimidation.
“His friend, he walked too fast, I went to the bathroom and couldn’t keep up, we were together.”
The man grinned, seemingly trying to smile to ease the nurse's guard, but he only looked more frightening.
"oh……"
The nurse nodded with some skepticism, then said, "Third floor, room 302. He was going to visit a friend. I don't know where he is now, but he just left. You should be able to catch up with him. Leave his name here so I can write it down."
"Okay, the name... Zhang Er."
The man's heart skipped a beat. He made up a name on the spot, then turned and left without any hesitation.
"Tch... They were clearly together, but that thug seemed much more polite than this guy."
After the nurse finished taking notes, she rolled her eyes in annoyance, but after being startled like that, she didn't dare to look any further.
Her initial enthusiasm for slacking off was quickly dampened, which annoyed her.
"302... I've finally found you."
The man approached the elevator, looked up at it as it gradually ascended, and finally stopped on the third floor. A slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a strange, eerie smile slowly crept up his face.
"Hey, I've arrived at the mission location. Just one last confirmation... The target is an eighteen-year-old man named Xia Che."
The man reached into his pocket, pulled out a crumpled photo, and mumbled a report into his phone.
The photo shows Xia Che's face.
The man was very thin, as if he had been living in a dark place for many years. His skin was unnaturally white, and his fingers were like chicken claws, pale but wrinkled.
His face was covered by a hood, so his features were not visible, and his whole person seemed to be shrouded in shadow.
"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible, and I promise it won't attract anyone's attention."
After completing the registration, the man put his phone back in his pocket.
Just then, the elevator doors opened, and the blinding light shone on the man's face, finally revealing the face that had been hidden under the hood.
He was an unkempt, middle-aged man with a stubble beard.
Judging from his appearance, he looks similar to middle-aged working men who are experiencing an age crisis.
There's just one thing that makes us different from them.
The man had a small but distinct red rat mark on his left cheek.
It looks like a tattoo, but at first glance it looks like a scar.
It is very conspicuous.
He walked in slowly and pressed the button for the third floor.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, the man reached into his coat pocket and slowly pulled out a rope dagger that gleamed with a cold light. The sharp blade and the terrifying barbs on it made it impossible to doubt what would happen if one were stabbed by this knife.
...
At the front desk on the first floor of the inpatient department, the nurse looked around warily, staring intently for a long time. Only after confirming that no one would bother her again did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Although I was scared... the plot is really exciting, and I'm really reluctant to stop watching it now... I'll be busy this afternoon, and I definitely won't have time to watch it then. If I don't watch it now, I'll only be able to watch it when I'm on duty tonight."
"Anyway, no one should bother me... I'll be fine watching for a while. I'm not greedy, I just want to see the ending. There are only about ten minutes left..."
The nurse muttered to herself, but still took the tablet out again, dragged the progress bar back to where she had been last looking, and became engrossed in it.
But as it turns out, when people are down on their luck, even a fart can hit their own heel.
"Hello, has Xia Che been here?"
A crisp, pleasant female voice rang out, once again interrupting the nurse's slacking off.
