"Ahhhh!!!"
A blood-curdling scream rang out from the upper floor of the clinic in the night.
In that instant, Wu Xiong's entire face turned deathly pale!
Lin Youyou, who was standing in front of him, hadn't reacted much yet, but Wu Xiong's shout made her immediately turn around!
The two were now face-to-face!
As Wu Xiong looked at the ghastly face straight across from him, "Ahhh—!"
Instantly, his originally shrill shriek jumped up an octave!
Then it grew hoarse!
In his panic, Wu Xiong turned and rushed toward the window inside the patient room!
Crash!
He smashed through the glass on the window and leapt out in one smooth dive!
In a trice, there was only one thought in Wu Xiong's mind: Damn, I didn't expect my fat body to become so agile at this critical moment!
Luckily the floor Wu Xiong was on wasn't too high, only the third story.
He went down shoulder first, watching the ground get closer and closer. Wu Xiong was already prepared to have his bones shatter!
Bang!
The muffled thud of his body colliding with the earth rang out. Wu Xiong rolled on the ground and was shocked to discover—
His bones were fine!
His physical fitness had become exceptionally good for some reason!
In this moment, Wu Xiong took a deep breath. From now on, anyone who dares say he's too fat and unhealthy again, he'll drag them to jump down from the third floor!
Breathing in the rich fragrance of the earth, Wu Xiong finally felt at ease. He climbed to his feet and hurried to run outside!
At this time, Lin Youyou upstairs finally remembered she was in specter form!
She quickly reverted to normal and rushed to the window of the patient room to see how Wu Xiong was doing below.
Seeing that Wu Xiong could still crawl up from the ground and run away, Lin Youyou finally let out a breath of relief.
Downstairs, Wu Xiong glanced back after running some distance away.
In the cold night wind, the entire clinic building was pitch black, except for the faintly visible corridor lights, and only the patient room he had been in still had its lights on!
And at this moment, in that broken window, Wu Xiong saw a nurse with delicate features, waving and smiling at him.
Looking at Lin Youyou's face, a vision of that horrifying deathly face he had seen suddenly surfaced in Wu Xiong's mind again!
What's more, Wu Xiong realized with immense dread that those two faces were extremely similar!
He reflexively averted his eyes, but—
Wu Xiong saw an extremely creepy scene in the window of the patient room next to his!
A mummy wrapped in gauze was standing at the window staring right at him!
Damn?!
What kind of clinic is this?!
Screaming internally, in the next second, Wu Xiong's legs went soft and he crashed face-first into the ground.
Rolling and crawling his way back up, Wu Xiong didn't dare look back again!
Right then he had made it out from under the clinic building, and saw his group's car parked in the plaza in front!
He immediately ran toward it!
Inside the Xinghui Group car.
The three people who had just gone to burn paper in the back mountain came back, but didn't dare just leave like this.
The sky had darkened again, and there was nowhere to stay inside the clinic.
So Sun Ying and the other two went back to wait in the car, ready for Lu Yuan who could wake up at any time.
The moment the glass broke upstairs in the clinic building earlier, all three people in the car had looked over.
Awei loved watching a scene unfold and exclaimed, "Yo, what's going on?! Did someone jump from a patient room?!"
"That guy's got pretty slick moves!"
As Sun Ying watched the figure crash into the ground below, she said pitifully, "So young, too young, trying to escape from Doctor Lu?"
"Even us who came from so far got—holy sh*t?!"
"Holy sh*t?!"
Suddenly, Sun Ying and Awei cried out at the same time!
Because the two seemed to have caught a glimpse of that person's face!
The three people in the car, two had looks of shock and terror on their faces, while only Along remained calm.
He steadily dragged on his cigarette, leisurely blowing smoke rings out the window.
Tap, tap, tap—
In the dead silence of the night, that person's footsteps became very clear.
Under Awei and Sun Ying's increasingly frightened stares, that person seemed to have lost his mind as he ran toward them!
As the distance between them rapidly shrank, Sun Ying and Awei looked as if they had seen a ghost!
"He, he, he, he?!"
"It's, it's Chairman Wu?!"
"He, he got out?!"
"That's not Chairman Wu! How could Chairman Wu become so skinny?!"
"But that face?!"
"Could it be, could it be?! But they said the soul doesn't return until the seventh day after death?"
Along glanced back at the two who were now huddled together trembling in the back seat. Suddenly he felt being so nonchalant didn't seem quite appropriate either.
So, "Ahem—"
Along cleared his throat and said, "Could it be that Wu Xiong actually already passed away more than seven days ago?"
Sun Ying: "......"
Awei: "......"
"Brother Long, don't joke around! How is that possible?!"
Along grinned and chuckled, "Seeing you two so scared, doesn't that get us in the mood?"
Bang!
Sun Ying smacked the back of Along's seat, and looking at the "Wu Xiong" about to reach them, she urged impatiently, "Along, hurry start the car! Start the car! Get driving, quick!"
Along pretended to fumble with the ignition, but clearly he was having some trouble getting it started.
Bang!
Not long after, that person ripped the car door open.
At this moment, dead silence filled the interior.
Except for the sound of Along dragging on his cigarette.
Time seemed to freeze for a few seconds, and Along slowly said, "Chairman Wu, that surgery went quite successfully, huh?"
......
Lu Yuan had slept for a long time since he hadn't rested for days.
When he awoke, it was already early morning the next day.
After washing up and having breakfast, Liu Yuan came over holding a folder.
"Doctor Lu, today Jiang Yingying needs to get her bandages changed, Wu Xiong needs a post-op checkup. The prisoner brought back by Xiaochou needs to be dealt with. The infected one you threw into the negative third floor has weakening bodily functions. The special agent named Zhang Qiang tied up in the negative first floor also seems to be nearing his limit. Also, the people from Xinghui Group waited for you all night in their car. So with such a busy day today, will the clinic still be open to patients?"
"Oh right, there's also..."
Lu Yuan turned to look at Liu Yuan, "There's more?"
"Yes, there's also the flock of little spirit condors in the back, their size has grown another circle, meeting your required criteria."
Lu Yuan very calmly adjusted his glasses, which had no lenses, and breezily said, "The clinic will continue operating today."
"People should keep busy, too much free time will make you deteriorate."
After changing into a white coat, Lu Yuan first led Liu Yuan to Jiang Yingying's patient room.
Passing by Wu Xiong's room, Lu Yuan saw the window was shattered.
The debris on the ground had already been cleaned up by Lin Youyou who was on night duty last night. The room was empty, the patient was gone.
Lu Yuan pointed at the room and asked Liu Yuan, "Where is he?"
Liu Yuan frowned awkwardly and said, "He probably...got scared and ran away..."
"He got scared and ran away?!"
"It's too complicated to explain in a few words."
"......"

"Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later."
