“Brother Liu?”
Zhang Ru stared at Liu Ye in surprise. She had never expected him to come here.
She did not know why Liu Ye had entered this hospital. He was not one of the participants in this mission. Worse, whenever that idiot Wang Weiwei was between missions, she stayed home watching dramas and playing games without researching anything. As a result, Zhang Ru knew almost nothing about current events or Liu Ye’s past achievements.
“Yes. I’m making my rounds. I’m the leader of our caregiver team now. I came to give you caregivers some training because I’ve noticed that your skills are terrible.”
Zhang Ru immediately wondered what Liu Ye was trying to convey. A man like him would never come here for no reason. Had she overlooked something?
She reconsidered the entire situation. Then realization struck.
“Of course. Director Jia!”
Cold sweat instantly covered Zhang Ru. How had she overlooked such a major problem?
If they attacked the three nurses, would Director Jia intervene?
Had Brother Liu realized what they had missed and come specifically to correct their plan?
Zhang Ru looked at Liu Ye gratefully. Without him, she truly might have died this time.
Her admiration was simple and sincere, but the way she looked at Liu Ye irritated Patient No. 6.
He already considered Zhang Ru his possession. How could he allow some brat to interfere?
“You’re Brother Liu, correct? Hello. My name is Zhao Qianyi, and I’m the patient in this ward. There are a few concerns I’d like to report.”
“Of course! Tell me everything, and don’t hold anything back. Your needs are our greatest source of motivation. Go ahead.”
Liu Ye excitedly took out a notebook. He could not write, but he could still draw.
Zhao Qianyi grinned. He knew several of the hospital’s secrets, including many dangerous places.
Having someone like Liu Ye nearby clearly ran counter to his interests. He needed to send the man away.
“Here’s the situation, Brother Liu. I suffer from an illness that requires a certain medicine once every week. If I don’t take it, I’ll die. Could you retrieve that medicine for me?”
Light flashed across Patient No. 6’s glasses. Through certain channels, he had learned that the caregivers possessed a Caregiver Manual whose first rule forbade them from refusing a patient’s request.
Technically, he had not lied. In the past, he truly had needed that medicine to stay alive. After spending time in this hospital, however, it had become optional. Even so, anyone who checked his medical records would still find it listed.
He planned to use it to trap Liu Ye.
The moment Liu Ye heard the explanation, he realized this was serious.
“Why did you wait so long to tell me? Where is the medicine? How do I get it?”
“Brother Liu!”
Zhang Ru immediately recognized Patient No. 6’s malicious intent.
This hospital was extremely dangerous. Even this single patient-care floor contained threats at every turn. How could Liu Ye casually venture elsewhere?
“Don’t worry. I haven’t forgotten your training. I’ll teach you when I return.”
Liu Ye was very pleased with Zhang Ru’s attitude. Look how eager she was to learn. Then look at that girl from yesterday. Honestly, how could the difference between two people be so enormous?
Zhang Ru stared at him.
That was not what she meant.
In Patient No. 6’s eyes, Liu Ye suddenly seemed smaller. Realizing that Tong Qian’s condition was already improving, he quickly drew Liu Ye a map and explained what to do after reaching the destination.
Seeing Liu Ye’s confidence, Zhang Ru decided not to press the matter. After all, he and she existed in entirely different worlds.
Liu Ye set out carrying Patient No. 6’s map.
The medicine was stored in another building. Before the mission ended, caregivers were forbidden from leaving their assigned building.
That restriction did not appear in the Caregiver Rules because it was considered self-evident.
Liu Ye, however, had no idea. He strode straight outside, and thanks to his Concealment Talisman, no one noticed him.
He went directly to the pharmaceutical building. Huicheng Hospital had constructed an entire building solely to store its medicines.
These included not only ordinary drugs for treating illness but also many Taboo pharmaceuticals that could never be revealed.
At the entrance, Liu Ye discovered several adorable “doggies.”
To Liu Ye, they looked like dogs. To everyone else, they were hideous Fiends.
“So cute…”
Liu Ye wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth. The Fiends, who had looked majestic only moments ago, flattened themselves against the ground and trembled.
They had no choice. Liu Ye currently radiated such a terrifying aura that even the thousand-year-old turtle from back then had been unable to resist it, let alone these minor Fiends.
“No, no. These belong to the hospital. I can’t eat them. I can’t.”
Liu Ye gave them one deeply regretful look, then hurried inside. He feared he would lose control if he waited any longer.
The instant the Fiends saw him enter, they abandoned the gate entirely and bolted away without even closing it.
Alert the hospital? Don’t be ridiculous. Their lives were almost over. Who had time to worry about anyone else?
Following Patient No. 6’s diagram, Liu Ye descended toward the basement.
Since he had made it inside, the staff naturally assumed the guards had admitted him. No one paid him any attention, and everyone continued with their work.
Liu Ye soon reached the target room.
He knocked, received no answer, and opened the door. Rows of shelves inside were packed with potions of every color.
“Five milliliters of the red potion, five milliliters of the blue potion, and two milliliters of the pink potion, mixed together.”
Liu Ye surveyed the shelves. The entire first row was pink, the second was red, and each following row held another color.
He immediately ran into trouble. Patient No. 6 had written down the medicine names, but every one was complicated and difficult to recognize. Even an ordinary person might struggle with them, much less an illiterate man like Liu Ye.
He had therefore memorized only the colors. But all the potions of a given color were stored together, and he had no way to tell which was which.
So Liu Ye decided to take a little from every bottle and let Patient No. 6 identify the correct ones himself.
This was no small task. There were far too many reagents of each color, and Liu Ye filled dozens of bottles. He had also forgotten to ask how much five milliliters and two milliliters actually were, so he used the large glucose bottles meant for intravenous drips. If there was too much, the patient could simply leave the rest.
Then, with great consideration, Liu Ye placed all the leftover medicine bottles and reagents into the trash.
He carried his bottles outside in complete satisfaction.
Inside the trash can, the discarded reagents began reacting with one another.
The instant Liu Ye stepped out of the building-
Boom!
