Chapter 27



‘Zhu Xiaoke’.

The large chap was pinned to the ground. Even though he struggled mightily, the two bodyguards and the nurse over him did not let go. His legs kicked wildly in all directions. However, even his face had been held to one side by someone. The veins in his temples bulged, and his face was bright red.

Song Qingxiao looked at the nurse who held the gun and gently gulped down a mouthful of spit.

“Let me go!” The large chap growled as he struggled.

Nurse Zhang stared at the scene, and her body swayed slightly before she asked, “What happened?”

As Nurse Zhang spoke, she rushed towards Doctor Zhou with Song Qingxiao following closely behind her. The nurse holding the gun trembled when she heard Nurse Zhang speak. She looked like she was in shock. She turned to face Nurse Zhang as tears began to stream out of her eyes.

“Sis Xiaoyu.”

She held the gun as she took two steps forwards. She looked down at the gun and acted as though she held a hot potato. Her expression seemed to show that she wanted to toss the gun but was also reluctant to do so. A light flashed across Song Qingxiao’s eyes. She used the excuse of consoling her and attempted to reach out her hand with the plan to reach for the gun.

Nurse Zhang did not notice her actions as she rushed to check on Doctor Zhou. The wall behind Doctor Zhou was covered in blood splatters from when the bullet went through his skull.

From the instructions in her consciousness, Song Qingxiao knew that there was no way to save him. However, she did not speak out to alert Nurse Zhang and allowed her attention to be drawn away from her.

She placed her hand lightly onto the shoulder of Zhu Xiaoke, who cried loudly. As her hand slid down slowly, she felt how tense Zhu Xiaoke’s body was. She had clearly experienced an enormous fright.

Song Qingxiao’s hand came to a halt on the back of Zhu Xiaoke’s palm. Her fingertips touched the edge of the gun. The body of the gun was still warm. It was the burning feeling of having killed someone with a bullet.

At that moment, Nurse Zhang checked on Doctor Zhou’s condition while the frightened nurse trembled. The bodyguards and nurses on the ground were focused on restraining the large chap, so no one noticed the glee that flashed across Song Qingxiao’s eyes.

Her heart started to beat rapidly. It felt like it was about to leap out of her chest and into her throat. It was a rare opportunity. If she managed to obtain the large chap’s gun, she would have an extra layer of protection in the trial.

“What happened?”

She spoke once again with a low, gentle tone. She was worried that she might frighten the nurse who held the gun if her voice wavered. Her blood pumped rapidly through her entire body because of how nervous she was. If her senses were magnified, the ticking sound in her mind would definitely drown out the sound of her own voice.

In the end, she managed to successfully place her hand on the nurse’s hand. The young nurse did not resist. She seemed to welcome that Song Qingxiao had grabbed hold of the gun. Song Qingxiao’s breathing seemed to become disordered momentarily, followed quickly by pursing her lips tightly. She gradually applied a small amount of force, and the nurse loosened her grip on the gun.

As that heavy pistol was in her palm, Song Qingxiao could not believe that it had all worked out so smoothly. She could not hide the joy in her eyes. She grabbed the gun tightly and put her finger on the trigger, not daring to make any sudden gestures that may attract the attention of the people in the room and alert them to her actions.

Since Zhu Xiaoke had let go of the gun, she buried her face into her hands and spoke with some difficulty.

“Doctor Li had left recently, so the hospital is preparing to hire a couple of doctors to fill the position. Doctor Zhou was interviewing the new person…”

Song Qingxiao controlled the elation in her heart and focused all her attention on the nurse. She was worried that she might miss a word.

“I don’t know why a clash happened. The new person took his gun out, and that’s when trouble happened.”

“Have you reported this to the police?” Song Qingxiao asked with a straight face as soon as she heard that. She slowly moved the gun into her pocket.

The emotionally shaken nurse shook her head helplessly. The hopeless tone in her voice gave everyone a bad feeling. “I couldn’t make the phone call. An hour ago, we got some news that there’s been an accident below the mountain where they were servicing the road. The only road leading down the mountain has been cut off. The signal tower has also toppled. It’ll take five days before service will resume.”

That meant that during the five days, the psychiatric hospital would be a fully-closed trial space. The situation suited Song Qingxiao’s original prediction. What the nurse said only served to confirm it.

Even though a death had occurred soon after she entered the scene, she had managed to glean some helpful information from it. Within the trial space of the psychiatric hospital, her task was to protect the people. It referred to the people within the hospital.

From Doctor Zhou’s unexpected death resulting in 50 credits being deducted from her total reward, she could tell that the doctors were definitely included among the ‘people’ that she needed to protect.

She had not managed to stuff the gun into her pocket before the sound of rushing footsteps could be heard from outside. Song Qingxiao’s alert senses detected a pair of eyes upon her. She lifted her head instinctively and noticed Liu Yixun and two other people that looked like doctors standing at the door.

The skinny, bespectacled guy was among the three, wearing a white coat. As soon as he noticed Song Qingxiao’s gaze, he raised his spectacles, and the light reflecting off his glasses hid the expression in his eyes.

Everyone who entered the office would be first drawn to the sight of Doctor Zhou Yu’s dead body. The bespectacled guy was the only one who noticed Song Qingxiao as soon as he entered. Even though his gaze moved away from her quickly to look at what the others stared at, Song Qingxiao could not forget the hair-raising feeling down her back in that instance. There was a sense of evil intention hidden in his gaze.

With the addition of the bespectacled guy in the trial, five of the participants had appeared. The red whip lady was the only one left who had not arrived.

When the bespectacled guy rushed over with Liu Yixun and the other doctor, his lips curved slightly, and a mocking look flashed across his eyes as soon as he saw the large chap pinned to the ground, completely unable to move.

Nurse Zhang quickly moved out of the way, and the two doctors hurried over to check on him. They shook their heads regretfully and announced, “He’s lost all his vital signs.”

It was not news to Song Qingxiao. However, as soon as Liu Yixun announced Doctor Zhou’s death, several nurses still let out pitiful gasps. At that moment, Song QIngxiao noticed the bespectacled guy shook his head along with everyone else.

His face revealed an expression of deep sorrow. Song Qingxiao stood beside him and could tell from his profile that the eyes behind his glasses were narrowed. His eyes were cold and indifferent, looking as though he was not surprised by the news.

Song Qingxiao was willing to bet through her woman’s intuition that the bespectacled guy had guessed from the prompt in his consciousness that Doctor Zhou was dead before he entered the room.

“Let go!”

The large chap on the ground was still struggling violently against his captors. Maybe he knew that his life was at stake, which was why his struggling became more agitated. The faces of the two bodyguards and the nurse were all flushed. They did their best, but they could hardly contain him.

“Let go of me!

The large chap struggled with all his might, and his clothes were all twisted out of shape from his effort. His powerful legs kicked around wildly. If he was anywhere else instead of the psychiatric hospital filled with nurses, bodyguards, and doctors who were used to dealing with patients who experienced violent psychiatric attacks, he would have already escaped.
