The ambulance and police car worked efficiently.
With the howling wind, the ambulance left the scene first.
It took away Chen Ming, Li Naer, and the twenty centimeters.
But due to time constraints, the three would likely not become two.
The police were left behind at the scene to investigate evidence.
Naturally, the first to be questioned were the two who called the police.
After investigating motives, bloodstains, fingerprints, and more,
the two who called the police were quickly cleared of suspicion, and the case sunk into heavy fog.
The snow white ceiling, snow white walls. The quilt like snow, the world like snow.
When Chen Ming woke up, the first thing that entered his eyes was a stretch of white.
His first reaction wasn't anything else.
He directly reached out to the originally fiery but now icy place.
He didn't even notice the IV drip on the back of his hand.
"Ah"
A shrill cry echoed above the hospital.
The huge shout immediately brought over a passing doctor.
"Quiet, no loud noises allowed in the hospital."
"Doctor, where's my root?"
Even though it couldn't be put back now.
Chen Ming still had no plans to abandon it.
Just like people who lived in big houses longing for treasures thousands of years ago.
"Root? Licorice root? No random medicine allowed in the hospital."
The passing doctor was clearly not Chen Ming's primary doctor.
"Cough cough, go about your business first."
Chen Ming's primary doctor finally rushed over in a hurry.
The passing doctor left puzzled.
Chen Ming's primary doctor didn't explain much.
Some things were better left unsaid in front of patients.
It wasn't good to expose a patient's privacy in front of them.
As for later?
That was precious academic exchange.
Invasion of privacy?
That didn't exist.
Chen Ming watched the passing doctor leave, and impatiently asked, "Where's my root?"
"Doctor you must save me, I have money, I have a lot of money."
The doctor treating Chen Ming was also an old doctor.
After all, such a strange injury, ordinary people wouldn't dare touch.
The old doctor who had experienced many years of medical practice was not surprised by the patient's situation.
Who didn't want money?
But it wasn't good to try to earn money beyond one's capabilities.
The primary doctor didn't want to stimulate Chen Ming, he could only euphemistically say, "Your body is fine, you'll recover after not too long."
"Ten million, I'll give you ten million, no, a billion, however much money you want."
Money, Chen Ming didn't care.
He could have as much as he wanted.
He only cared if he could get cured or not.
Even now, he still had fantasies.
He still had the system, the omnipotent system, it must be able to reattach it for him.
That bottle of medicine to increase physical attributes was the best proof.
Unfortunately, his beautiful dream was ruthlessly shattered by the doctor's next words.
"I'm very sorry, when we arrived at the scene, your treasure had already been destroyed very thoroughly. Even if we did our utmost, we were unable to fix it."
Although the hospital had collected all the limbs, upon careful inspection at the hospital, it was found to have been beaten to a pulp.
"It doesn't matter, bring it to me."
Chen Ming still hadn't given up.
Even if it was tattered, it was still his most precious thing.
Soon, a blood red clump was brought over.
Chen Ming carefully cradled it.
And asked in his heart: "System, can it still be saved?"
[Cannot]
The system had already drifted apart from this host.
Forget about not being able to save it originally. Even if it could, it wouldn't lend a hand.
It had already started looking for the next host.
Hopefully it wouldn't run into such a lame host again.
That was the system's biggest wish right now.
In another sickroom, Li Naer was equally desperate.
"Doctor, can my face still be restored?"
Her innate beauty and figure were her greatest reliance.
If she lost these, she would have nothing.
Without Chen Ming there could be another top ranker suitor.
But without her looks, Chen Ming wouldn't want her either.
The doctor looked at the checkup report and lightly shook his head, "I have a friend who works in cosmetic surgery, his skills are first-rate. If needed, I can give you his contact information."
"Yes, please."
Li Naer was unwilling to give up any possibility of restoring her beauty.
After the doctor left, she eagerly contacted them right away.
She had to recover before seeing Chen Ming again.
Before then, she didn't want to see anyone.
On the other end, the despairing Chen Ming opened Shark Platform again.
By now, he was utterly disheartened.
But money could save everything.
As long as he had money, he could do many, many things.
Sometimes, gender could be less set in stone.
The Chen Ming who had lost dignity had already secretly started to change his views.
"Ding."
It wasn't the system's notification chime.
His phone suddenly popped up an account suspension notice.
[Sorry, your account has been suspended for suspected violations]
Chen Ming hurriedly called his own customer service line.
But no matter what he said, the other party only replied "suspected violations".
On the other hand, Shark Platform had also started preparing all kinds of materials.
The main proof was the discrepancy in the company accounts.
Soon, Shark's official Weibo pinned a message.
"After careful verification by our technicians, the account Drunken Eyes Seeing Peaches has been carefully checked. It was preliminarily determined to have charged in billions of funds that did not enter our company accounts, and is suspected of using third party software. Evidence has been transferred to the legal department. During this time, all gifts it gave are void."
"Also, due to Drunken Eyes Seeing Peaches' malicious provocations that caused extremely bad influence on some users, we are now announcing that the gifts it brushed out for certain reasons will be refunded in full."
Shark company went on and on.
To sum it up in four words:
External hacking to charge money.
Soon it became a hot search on Weibo, arousing the intense discussion of netizens.
Some said it was the livestreaming platform's problem, broadcasters shouldn't take the fall.
Some said external hacking disrupted balance.
Still others brought up various opinions from a legal perspective.
Only one thing was clear - Chen Ming's actions were wrong.
Upon seeing the official Weibo, Chen Ming was shocked.
He hurriedly asked the system.
But no matter how he yelled, the system did not react.
From the moment he was banned, the resonance between him and the system had already dropped to 30%.
Besides, the money the system gave originally had problems.
This money didn't originally belong in this world.
For the system, the account balance of Shark Company was just a number issue.
Even the balance in the banks was just a string of digits.
It didn't create value, it just hacked the database like a hacker.
Originally it had the ability to make people ignore all abnormalities.
But when these abnormalities explicitly appeared before people's eyes.
Even the system couldn't erase the influence it caused.
The system now only had one thought.
Destroy it.
Hurry.
I'm tired.
