It's like a dead man who can't move.

Tick, tock—

The bedroom was in complete silence.

The married woman felt her heart had stopped beating.

She didn't know if the sound she just heard was real or just an auditory hallucination caused by her nervousness.

She also didn't know when the bedroom light had been turned off.

She tugged the blanket slightly harder, and this time the blanket moved.

The woman exhaled in relief.

She told herself over and over again that it was just an illusion, an illusion, but...

It felt like a mysterious force was compelling her to look under the bed to see what was there.

The woman's mind was torn between conflicting desires.

In the end, the mysterious force won.

She inched towards the edge of the bed, slowly lowering her upper body, and then slowly lifted the bedsheet...

She saw the leather bed base of her bed, with only a three-centimeter distance from the floor.

At that moment, the woman nearly fainted!

She just remembered that her bed was only three centimeters from the ground! There was no way anything could be under there!

Immediately, the woman felt her body relax.

Her hands dangled weakly to the floor, as if the cool sensation could give her more peace of mind.

After a while, the woman crawled back under the covers.

Time slipped away quietly, and she felt like she was drifting off to sleep.

And she did fall asleep.

In her sleep, the woman rolled over, dreaming that her good-for-nothing husband had returned.

He might have returned, but he was still as useless as ever.

No matter what she tried, he was like a dead man, not moving an inch.

And cold and clammy.

Leaving her and the bedsheets all sticky and clammy...

The next morning.

"Ahh!!!"

A piercing scream came from the woman who had just woken up.

As she woke up, the woman found that she had been cuddling a dead body all night!

The dead man had a short, sharp dagger stuck in his throat!

It was one of the two Level 4 Abilities in her villa!

...

That afternoon, a luxurious armored SUV left Su Jing through the No.2 Checkpoint.

The driver looked unwell and pale.

But since he held an internal ID from Starlight Group, the vehicle was exempted from inspection when leaving the city.

In the rear trunk, The Clown and the Starlight Group chairman who had been scared half to death were in close proximity.

There was no way around it this time, they couldn't cause too much of a stir when leaving the city.

Otherwise, combined with the commotion inside the city, people would easily discover that the Starlight Group chairman was likely in this vehicle.

Not long after the SUV left the city, the Starlight Group chairman's office received a call from their boss.

He instructed them to transport a set of bioengineering research equipment using the company's heavy trucks to the intersection of S Region and X Region.

...

Yun City, Lu Yuan Clinic.

Early in the morning, Lu Yuan looked at Little Grass tied to the flagpole and felt irritated.

He even thought about taking back the golden biubiu he had gifted this creature.

There was nothing wrong with having the desire to escape, Lu Yuan could absolutely understand that.

Even if someone tried to escape but failed and was caught, they usually wouldn't face severe punishment, after all, Lu Yuan considered himself a doctor first and foremost.

You can't treat patients too harshly.

But...

If you want to run away, but end up getting lost and running in the wrong direction, only to run back here, that...

Standing under the flagpole, Lu Yuan waved his hand, and the ox Benbai leisurely brought Little Grass down.

Lu Yuan stepped forward and asked, "Do you know east, south, west, and north?"

The two red dots in Little Grass's eye sockets flickered a few times.

"You know east, south, west, and north? Then why did you, the one who tried to escape, come back before Liu Yuan, the one who didn't try to escape?"

"My car hadn't even left the Yun City limits when I saw you frolicking in the wilderness. Man, do you have any brains at all?"

This time, the red dots in Little Grass's eyes flickered rapidly.

Lu Yuan said, "Are you really acting like you have no brains just because I said you don't?"

The red dots in Little Grass's eyes flickered twice.

Lu Yuan blinked twice as well. "From today onwards, you'll be in charge of cleaning the medical school. This will continue until I find the next clueless person."

The red dots in Little Grass's eyes started flickering rapidly again.

Lu Yuan glanced at it and said, "If you're unwilling, you can choose to keep trying to escape."

Little Grass looked up at the flagpole where it had been tied before, turned around, and took the broom Benbai handed over.

From then on, the medical school had an industrious scarecrow janitor.

That afternoon, Liu Yuan returned from Xifu City.

She brought a rented small truck carrying a freezer containing three corpses of Abilities.

Seeing Little Grass sweeping the plaza, Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then signaled for the two workmen on the truck to unload the cargo.

The two workmen, who looked somewhat simple and honest, saw the self-sweeping scarecrow, then glanced at the freezer they were carrying which contained dead bodies, and their movements became much more nimble.

Liu Yuan went to Lu Yuan's office to report on the work situation this time.

"That family of three went to Tianyu Hospital in Xifu City after leaving us."

"The woman was pregnant and needed a prenatal checkup."

"The man took the opportunity to have his pneumothorax condition checked that we had treated in the morning."

"The doctor examining the man said he had a heart problem and needed a mechanical heart transplant. Tianyu Hospital was offering free mechanical heart transplants at the time, but with a slight risk."

"The man agreed and even accepted the hospital's free priority service, undergoing the surgery the same day."

"The 'slight risk' occurred and the surgery failed, resulting in the man's death."

"The specific reason was that Tianyu Hospital happened to have an Ability in need of a heart transplant at the time, so they set their sights on that man."

"As for the failed surgery, it was indeed an accident. Tianyu Hospital didn't intend for the man to die, but since no one paid for the surgery, only the small allowance provided by the hospital, any doctor with decent skills was unwilling to take the job. In the end, an incompetent doctor performed it."

"The violent mutilation of the man's corpse was to destroy evidence of the medical malpractice."

"The old man, grieving the loss of his son, naturally became disgruntled with the hospital. As a result, he was beaten to death by the hospital's hired mercenaries, and any usable organs were not wasted."

"The woman first signed an organ donation agreement with the Inspection Bureau, then went to Tianyu Hospital to seek justice for her husband, not intending to leave alive."

"And that's indeed what happened, she committed suicide in front of the Tianyu Hospital entrance."

"Since the entire family was gone with no one to stand up for them, the woman's corpse was shamelessly harvested of all organs by Tianyu's doctors in the end."

"Including..."

Liu Yuan didn't continue, but Lu Yuan understood.

Including the unborn child the woman had been carrying.

Then, Liu Yuan added, "And that organ which had nurtured life has already been sold."

"The buyer is in Yun City, in the eastern suburbs."
