Chapter 150

Tang Qisheng's heart leapt into his throat. Those orderlies had finally tricked the old woman out, and the consequences of leaving the room were predictable.

"It's so dark..."

"Old woman, take it easy, hold my hand tight, lift your leg..."

"Come on, this way..."

The sound of footsteps shuffling on the floor came from outside the door.

Unexpectedly, the old woman who had been tricked out wasn't immediately killed. Judging from the sound, she was indeed being helped toward them.

Why?

Why didn't those ghostly things kill the old woman who left the room?

Could it be that those ghostly things weren't aiming to kill people, but only wanted special patients?

Or... was all of this outside fake, a performance put on by those ghostly things? Perhaps there was no old woman at all, and the old woman hiding in the room hadn't spoken at all; it was all a trick!

It wasn't impossible. Last night, they had almost been caught by the ghost's disguise.

Various guesses filled his mind. Tang Qisheng's head was in a mess, but he was determined to stay put, responding to all changes with immutability.

Although there was still someone hiding in the room, and that person's true identity was likely the so-called special patient, at least until now, he hadn't really harmed him or Zhu Jie. But if he left this room, Tang Qisheng was sure he wouldn't have a good end.

The footsteps outside the door were slow, with a strong sense of probing, as if trying to break down Tang Qisheng's and Zhu Jie's psychological defenses step by step.

"Patients in the ward, listen up! If you cooperate with our investigation now, we'll forget about what just happened."

"Otherwise, if we find a hidden special patient after we come in, the consequences will be very serious."

"We will report it truthfully, and the hospital leaders will be very unhappy. You are endangering the safety of all patients, which will affect their judgment of your condition. It will be difficult for you to be discharged smoothly."

Tang Qisheng was naturally not afraid of this kind of scare tactic. He didn't retort, but instead acted very agitated, "What... what are you saying? I'm innocent, we're innocent!"

"We really didn't hide anyone in the room. If you don't believe us... you can come in and search!"

Tang Qisheng pulled Zhu Jie's hand and slowly retreated a few steps to the right, clearing the area behind the door, while putting on a look of grievance.

At this time, Tang Qisheng sneered in his heart. He roughly understood that these guys outside were just bluffing. What old woman? Bullshit!

It was all fake!

"Patient in Room 307, you will pay the price for your stupid behavior!"

After uttering one last harsh word, the voice with the loudspeaker rang again, but this time it was much more polite, "Old woman, you see, the patient in Room 307 still isn't cooperating. It seems we'll have to trouble you to take us in."

"It's no trouble at all!" the old woman's voice was full of confidence, "These young people are so unreasonable, so selfish, not considering others at all!"

Tang Qisheng didn't react at all, treating it like farting. His current energy was completely focused on the special patient still hiding in the room.

He had a guess. Could this so-called special patient be the child that Jiang Cheng had mentioned many times?

Because he hadn't directly touched him, Tang Qisheng couldn't be sure. Moreover, the other party had grabbed his arm through the hospital gown, and that hand... the size of that hand didn't seem like a child's.

"Jiang Cheng reminded me that the child is very important. Try to find him as much as possible. Also, this person's characteristic is that the middle finger of his right hand is missing. If there's a chance, be sure to check the right hand of this special patient."

Just as Tang Qisheng was calculating, something happened that he never expected. A hand reached out, grabbing randomly at him, right from... right from the direction of the door!

"He's here! I caught someone! They also have..." the old woman's voice immediately rang out.

This sudden change really startled Tang Qisheng, but he quickly realized that his judgment had been wrong. The old woman was real, otherwise she couldn't have entered the room!

The old woman was still using her withered hand to pull Tang Qisheng out. Tang Qisheng was shocked and angry. If he was really pulled out, he wouldn't survive.

Not caring about anything else, Tang Qisheng swung his fist and punched hard in the direction of the old woman's voice. The old woman screamed in pain from the heavy punch.

Zhu Jie, who was beside him, also recovered and started attacking the old woman.

The two had the same goal: to absolutely not let the old woman in. If she came in, those ghostly things outside would likely follow.

"Get out of the way!"

Tang Qisheng grabbed the old woman's clothes and shouted at Zhu Jie. Zhu Jie immediately retreated, and then Tang Qisheng lifted his leg and gave the old woman a flying kick.

The two cooperated very well, which made Tang Qisheng even more certain that the person beside him was the real Zhu Jie.

"Bang!"

Tang Qisheng felt that the kick was solid, and the other party's body flew out like a sandbag.

"Ouch!" The old woman's wails were more and more miserable, "My old back! These damned men and women... ouch! They hit me, I can't get up, they have to pay me! I want them to pay until they're bankrupt!"

"I say... I say, don't just watch! They're hitting people, aren't you going to do anything?" The old woman turned her anger towards the orderlies.

The orderlies' indifference and inaction also made the old woman feel angry.

"Hehe, old woman, you're really old and useless. You can't even do this little thing well," the orderly's tone also became impatient, which further strengthened Tang Qisheng's judgment.

"Hiss—, you..."

"Alright, old woman, don't say any more. You're injured, we'll help you get treatment."

"You... where are you taking me?" The old woman's voice became panicked, as if she had realized something, "No, I'm not going! I don't need treatment, I... I want to go home! Let me go home!"

"You can go home after you get treatment. Old woman, you have to trust us. The hospital will be responsible for every patient."

But no matter how the old woman begged, the orderlies still took her away. After so much trouble, the corridor finally became quiet.

Tang Qisheng held Zhu Jie's hand, feeling the slightly trembling fingertips, and kept comforting him, "It's okay, it's okay."

Although he said that, after all, there was still someone hiding in the room. Whether it was a blessing or a curse, he couldn't avoid it. Tang Qisheng turned around and asked softly into the room, "Who are you? Maybe I know you. Are you... are you looking for your missing parents?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound from the corner, and then that sound quickly approached Tang Qisheng.
