Chapter 63: The Patient Bitten by a Zombie

  I exchanged a look with Cao Shi Jiu, feeling that Chen Ming Hao was quite problematic, and we communicated through our eyes.

  "No big deal, we just wanted to ask about the situation. Do you know if Chang Ai'ai is dead?" I asked intentionally.

  "I don't know! Mind your own business!" Chen Minghao's face didn't look good.

  "Don't be nervous, we're not investigating you yet, just asking some questions." Li Jian Tian said after calming down.

  Then Li Jian Tian took out a notebook and asked: "Tell me what kind of situation did Chang Ai Ai say during the internship phase?"

  "Chang Ai'ai is a clinical graduate of Jiangnan Medical College, and was recommended to our hospital for internship last May due to her excellent grades. The internship period is one year before deciding whether to hire her. At first, she wasn't even in our department, and it's rare for a girl like her to want to join our department. She transferred to this department in February this year, which surprised me - such a beautiful girl was willing to come to our department! So I only knew her for three months and didn't understand her well at all. She stayed for just three months before applying to leave, and I thought she couldn't take the hardships of our department. But she performed extremely well, and Director had already decided to hire her... but then she left. So, officer, I don't know anything!" Chen Minghao said, wiping away sweat.

  Li Jian Tian recorded Chen Ming Hao's words one by one.

  "Do you know if Chang Ai Ai has a boyfriend?" I thought of how pretty Chang Ai Ai is, maybe this guy had also pursued her, so he should know whether she has a boyfriend or not.

  "I haven't heard her say anything, but there are a lot of people chasing after her. The men in our hospital all have to line up," Chen Minghao said.

  "Have you ever chased after someone?" I glared at him fiercely.

  "This is a bit private, isn't it?" Chen Minghao said somewhat displeasedly.

  Li Jian Tian slapped the table, startling Chen Ming Hao.

  "It was me!" Chen Minghao lowered his head in admission.

  "This girl is quite quiet, nice person, good-looking, meticulous and enthusiastic, with countless advantages. However, she rejected me, saying that in this life, she hates handsome guys the most, wishing all the handsome guys in the world would die out, so I retreated." Chen Minghao continued to say.

  "No wonder, Cháng ài ài loves following you." Máo Jiǔ said with a flattering tone.

  "What's wrong with you?" I was taken aback for a moment.

  "Self-realization."

  "You dare to say I'm not handsome? You're a shameless scoundrel, speaking with no regard for your conscience. You should be ashamed in front of the ancestors of Taoism." I made a gesture of bowing to the sky.

  "Go find a mirror yourself, take a look at this handsome guy first, then take a look at yourself, you'll definitely vomit to death." Mao Shi Jiu pointed at Chen Ming Hao.

  I ran my hand through my hair and stared at Chen Minghao again.

  "It's almost there." As a result, nearly a whole group of people fell over.

  "Cough cough, anyway, let's get back on track."

  "Do you know which department Chen Aiyu was in before? I asked seriously."

  At this time, Chen Minghao was a little hesitant, with a feeling that he couldn't quite put into words.

  "Speak quickly." Li Jian Tian shouted loudly.

  "She used to be in surgery." Chen Minghao stammered and stuttered for half a day before finally saying it.

  "Alright, we'll take our leave for now. Perhaps we'll meet again soon." Mao Shi Jiu snapped his fingers and said to Chen Ming Hao.

  "Yes, he's coming to see a doctor." Li Jian Tian surprisingly became clever and found an opportunity to scold Mao Shi Jiu.

  I burst out laughing beside him.

  "Hey handsome guy, who do you think is more handsome between us?" I asked him as I was about to leave.

  He nodded and bowed his head, saying: "You're handsome, you're handsome."

  "Didn't you hear? He himself admitted it." As we said that, we walked out of Chen Minghao's office and headed towards the surgery department.

  As I walked on the road, I asked Cao Shi Jiu: "This Chen Ming Hao has a problem! He should know something. Why did you just ask us to leave?"

  "This Chen Minghao is definitely not the mastermind, just look at his timid and hesitant appearance, although he looks a bit handsome, but he doesn't have any temperament at all, I reckon he wouldn't even dare to hold a knife to kill a chicken, let alone kill someone." said Mao Shi Jiu.

  "She had said that she was already seven months pregnant, which means she got pregnant about seven months ago. This proves that her boyfriend is definitely not someone she met during her internship in the OB-GYN department. I can confidently say that her boyfriend must be a handsome guy, and a faithless one at that."

  "So I concluded two possibilities. First, Chang Ai had a boyfriend in school who was handsome but a beast; second, the boyfriend she met a few months before internship was also handsome."

  "Also a beast."

  I'm speechless and don't want to answer Mao Zedong's nineteen questions.

  Arrived at the surgical department, the MD surgeon was performing a major operation. More than ten doctors were busy and had no time to attend to us, so I could only wait outside. It felt like when a wife is about to give birth, her husband waits anxiously outside, but in this case, there were three husbands waiting, not knowing whose child it would be.

  I've been waiting for two hours and I haven't seen a single soul. I'm getting impatient.

  "What's taking these doctors so long? I'm getting impatient!"

  "It's not like giving birth, what's the hurry? Sit down and calm your mind." Mao Shi Jiu said calmly, folding his legs.

  I'd rather sit on a stool like a rotten eggplant and continue waiting.

  Another hour passed before there was finally some movement inside. Several nurses rushed out of the operating room and asked us, "Who is the patient's family member?"

  I raised my hand.

  "Nurse, doctor, how much longer will it take?"

  The nurse had a feeling of wanting to kill me at that time, and she gave me a fierce stare before running away.

  "Goodness!" Mao Shi Jiu was still sitting with his legs crossed and eyes closed, cultivating his spirit.

  "Eh, Master." I replied.

  "You're so cheap now!"

  "Those who are close to vermilion are red, those who are close to ink are black. We have a saying where we come from: follow good people and learn from them, follow lazy people and learn to procrastinate. You're the master, I'm the apprentice, learning from you." This scolding of mine almost made me gasp for air.

  "You're good at learning nothing but picking up bad habits." said Mao Shi Jiu.

  "Alright, alright, you two, the doctor is out." Li Jian Tian reminded them.

  Only saw a row of doctors coming out of the operating room, talking and sweating profusely, these words can't describe them anymore. Seeing their tired faces, we didn't go up to ask questions immediately.

  "You said this is what kind of surgery that requires more than a dozen doctors?" I asked in puzzlement.

  "I reckon it's a major surgery, like what brain transplant or something, I think you can also go do one and swap out that stupid brain of yours." Ma Shi Jiu finally stood up and said.

  "You didn't hear what the doctor who just came out said? He was bitten by something and is completely disfigured." Ma Shi Jiu continued.

  "Was it plastic surgery?" I asked.

  "You're finished!" Mao Nineteen walked a few steps forward and didn't want to bother with me anymore.

  At this time, Mao Shijiu suddenly sniffed with his nose, "What smell?" Mao Shijiu glanced into the operating room.

  "There's no flavor!" I hadn't even finished speaking when Mao 19 kicked open the operating room door and rushed in.

  I hastily followed him, and Cao Jingyi must have discovered something dirty.

  Mao rushed in while taking out the peach wood sword and talisman from his body. He charged into the operating room, only to see a fully bandaged person lying on the operating table, with only one doctor and several nurses standing guard beside him.

  "How did you get in?" The doctor looked at us with a mixture of suspicion and anger.

  Cao Jingyu sniffed with his nose and walked around the operating room before returning to the bedside.

  "You, go and call security quickly." The doctor said angrily to the nurse beside him.

  "I'm a police officer, please cooperate with the investigation." Li Jian Tian took out his ID again.

  The doctor nodded silently.

  Mao Shi Jiu gazed at the bedside for a long time, finally finding a strand of black hair on the patient's clothes. Mao Shi Jiu took out a lighter and ignited the black hair, which turned into a black crystal that fell to the ground, emitting an extremely pungent odor as it burned.

  "He was bitten by a black-haired zombie," said Cao Jingyu.

  "Tell me, where was he sent from?" Dr. Mao asked.

  "I don't know, all I know is that he was bitten by something and his body was covered in wounds, not a single piece of good flesh left. A lot of blood had been sucked out of him and he was poisoned too. It took the efforts of over 10 doctors to save him," said the doctor.

  "No, we have to deal with him immediately, otherwise he'll turn into a zombie. You doctors only know how to treat his external injuries, but you don't know that the corpse poison has already penetrated deep into his bones. Although he's still conscious now, by tonight, he'll turn into a zombie." Mao Shi Jiu said anxiously, and then took out a zombie-suppressing talisman and slapped it onto the patient's chest.

  "Hurry up and send it to the crematorium for cremation."

  "How can this be? He's still conscious, he's still alive!" I exclaimed urgently.

  "Aren't you going to get us killed?" I said to Mao 19.

  Li Jian Tian strongly opposed it on the other side.

  "Don't show any mercy, if he turns into a zombie according to the current bite wound, he'll at least become a White Haired Zombie. By then, no one in the hospital will be able to survive." Ma Shi Jiu said angrily.

  "But he is not a zombie yet, which means he is still human. As a human being, he is subject to the law, and you have no right to take his life."

  Mao nodded in agreement, possibly thinking there was some truth to it.

  "Then we won't leave today, let's stay until tonight and settle him!" said Mao Shi Jiu.

  "Li Jian Tian, you arrange it. Tonight, remind all the doctors and nurses on duty as well as the patients not to get close to this operating room in the external department. If anything happens, take responsibility yourself." Mao Shi Jiu said to Li Jian Tian.

  Li Jian Tian immediately went out to make arrangements.

  "Yang Guo, follow me to draw the talismans. I didn't bring enough of my zombie-suppressing talismans, can you help me buy some cinnabar at the pharmacy and then go to the supermarket to buy some glutinous rice?" said Mao Shi Jiu as he arranged things.
