Chapter 348: Chapter 240: Where are my clothes?
Wu City.
People’s Hospital.
In the inpatient department building, inside the VIP ward.
Wan Qian was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face. She had left the operating table an hour ago, the anesthesia still not having completely worn off. Adding to the shock she experienced at the clinic today, her mental state was somewhat abnormal, her body trembling and her mouth mumbling nonsense.
“Qian.”
“My dear daughter… What kind of sin did I commit in my previous life? Why does my precious daughter have to suffer like this!”
Wan Qian’s mother sat by the bed, tears streaming down her face as she tried to grasp her daughter’s hand…
But Wan Qian’s left hand had an IV drip in it, and her entire right forearm was wrapped in gauze, making it impossible to hold.
Wan Qian’s father stood by her side, too.
The strong-willed man couldn’t help but tear up at the sight of his daughter in this condition, quickly turning his head to secretly wipe away his tears.
“Brother, Sister-in-law.”
Outside the ward, Wan Baolu gently pushed open the door and tiptoed in. He glanced at Wan Qian on the bed and then lowered his voice to say, “I had someone inquire about it, and that lunatic was taken to the Spirits Management Bureau… I’m afraid this matter is not simple. Should we ask Master Xu to come and have a look so that Qian doesn’t suffer from any aftereffects?”
Wan Qian’s parents had witnessed Xu Yang’s capabilities before.
Upon hearing what Wan Baolu suggested, Wan’s father immediately replied, “Laoer [‘Hong Laoer’ in the passage above], you are more familiar with Master Xu. Take a bottle of good wine from my home and personally go to Master Xu’s house.”
At this moment…
Wan Qian, who had been mumbling nonsense while half asleep, suddenly opened her eyes wide!
“Qian!”
Sitting by the bed, her mother was overjoyed and asked, “Are you awake?”
Wan Baolu and her father also hurried to the bedside, but Wan Qian didn’t acknowledge them, instead staring intently at the ceiling!
Even more peculiar was that the pupils of her eyes had changed, exhibiting an unnatural appearance, almost engulfing the entire black eyeball.
Wan Baolu locked gazes with Wan Qian, involuntarily stepping back a few paces, feeling an unprovoked sense of dread!
“This…this…”
He stammered, unable to say anything else when he saw Wan Qian suddenly sit up straight.
Her gaze shifted over the three of them.
Wan Baolu found his niece’s gaze both unfamiliar and terrifying…
What kind of look was that?
Cold!
Indifferent!
It seemed to contain not a trace of emotion.
“Qian!”
“What’s wrong with you?”
Wan Qian’s parents also noticed the anomaly, panicking and shouting at her, but she acted as if she didn’t hear. Onec she lowerkd her head to look at the needle inserted into her left hand, she tried to use her right hand to remove it but remembered that the right one was wrapped in gauze.
She clenched her left hand forcefully.
The IV needle was flung away, and then she lifted her left hand to grab the gauze wrapped around her right arm.
“Qian!”
“Daughter, what are you doing?”
Her father and mother hurried to intervene, but it was already too late. With a tearing sound, Wan Qian ripped off the blood-stained gauze from her wound!
Wan Baolu stared at his niece’s actions, his eyes widening in disbelief!
Wan Baolu had been with Wan Qian from the moment they entered the hospital, through all her tests, even waiting outside the operating room when she went in for surgery. He knew very well the extent of her injuries!
Wan Qian’s right forearm muscle had a laceration of nearly 20 centimeters, and a chunk of flesh had been bitten off…
But at this moment, that wound on her right arm had healed!
It was completely healed, without even a trace of a scar left behind!
As for Wan Qian, she finally seemed to notice her parent’s voices.
She tilted her head, scrutinizing her parents carefully before suddenly covering her ears and screaming in pain. Her father and mother immediately called for a doctor but, by the time the doctor rushed into the ward, Wan Qian had already gotten up, dashed in a few strides towards the window, and leaped.
Crash!
She shattered the glass window and jumped out!
“No!”
Her father and mother let out heart-wrenching cries!
This was the fifth floor!
At least a 15-meter drop! An ordinary person would either have died or been severely injured if they jumped from this height!
…
Meanwhile…
Xu Yang and Bai Wei had just arrived at the inpatient department building.
Crash!
The crisp sound of breaking glass was especially conspicuous in the night. Xu Yang looked up quickly and saw a figure jump down from the fifth floor…
“Wan Qian?”
Xu Yang’s eyes flickered slightly.
With his keen vision, he could identify that figure as Wan Qian in just one glance, even at night. Who else could it be?
Boom!
Wan Qian jumped down from the fifth floor, landing heavily on the ground, shattering the marble tiles beneath her feet. She rolled forward to dissipate the force, glanced at Xu Yang, and dashed straight into the night.
“Dr. Wan!”
Xu Yang yelled, but Wan Qian showed no sign of stopping.
Her speed was even faster than some accomplished martial artists, quickly reaching the iron fence surrounding the hospital, leaping over it with one bound.
“Damn it!”
“Still a step too late!”
Xu Yang cursed and started chasing after her.
Bai Wei intended to follow, but after raising her head and noticing the many heads peeking out from windows on all floors, watching the situation outside, she gave a bitter smile and shook her head before walking into the inpatient department building.
