Chapter 476: Chapter 384 Hospital Rampage

Netizens who saw Le Zhengling’s daily life and family environment praised her for being amazing while also feeling sorry for her having to work so hard at such a young age.

Le Zhengling’s fan base gradually increased, and slowly, she began to receive offers from advertisers and endorsements. It seemed that she would soon be able to enjoy the fruits of her labor and lead her siblings to a better life. However, during a live stream not long ago, Le Zhengling fainted and was diagnosed with brain cancer.

[Sob sob sob, Lingling, you must pull through! Wishing you a successful surgery!]

[Keep fighting, you must get better! Hang in there, there are so many fans who love you, we are all waiting for you!]

[Since I was little, people have said my mouth is touched by fortune, what I say comes true! I hope that Le Zhengling will defeat her illness soon and return to full health! Prayers.jpg]

[You’ve gotten through so many hardships before, I believe this time will be no different! I’ve sent you two hundred in a private message, a token of my support, please make sure to accept it, screenshot.jpg]

[Dear girl, you must listen to the doctors, do as they say, and actively cooperate with the treatment. Don’t worry about the medical expenses at all. If the money isn’t enough, remember to post your payment code, we will all help you! Don’t give up, a wonderful future is waiting for you to create!]

[Lingling, let us know which hospital you are getting treatment at with a squeak, post a TikTok occasionally to let us know about your condition. If it’s not too far, I can bring you some nutritious porridge to the hospital every day.]

[...]

Below Le Zhengling’s comment section was full of prayers and well wishes, and even through the screen, one could feel the netizens’ concern for her.

Jiang Ning noticed that the last time Le Zhengling updated her work was several days ago. After the news of her brain cancer diagnosis had trended, Le Zhengling had updated a few photos of herself lying in the hospital bed on TikTok, confirming that she indeed had brain cancer and might need a long time for treatment among other things.

However, no matter how the netizens inquired, Le Zhengling did not respond again.

Jiang Ning stood up, "I’m going to visit the Capital City First People’s Hospital."

Since there was nothing else to do in the office, it seemed better to check on Le Zhengling’s safety.

Jiang Ning pulled open the office door, then saw Huo Li standing outside about to knock.

Upon seeing him, Jiang Ning unconsciously frowned.

Huo Li withdrew his hand, his handsome face calm, "Where are you going?"

"I have to step out for a bit," Jiang Ning replied, then asked, "Do you need me for something?"

"No. I just wanted to let you know that someone has leaked the fact that you’re working at Huo’s, and many netizens are concerned about it. They’ve even called the company, which has confirmed it," Huo Li said, his gaze resting on Jiang Ning as he subtly observed her reaction.

But Jiang Ning’s expression was indifferent, other than the subconscious frown from earlier, there was no other emotion showing.

"Oh," Jiang Ning responded, her tone somewhat casual.

Seeing that she wasn’t angry about the matter, Huo Li changed the subject back to the earlier topic in a natural tone, "Where are you heading? Do you need any help? Should I ask Xiao Chen to accompany you?"

"No need, I’m going to meet a friend," Jiang Ning declined.

Huo Li nodded, stepping aside politely, and Jiang Ning promptly strode past him.

Seeing Jiang Ning leave in such a breezy manner, Huo Li, who stood still, didn’t immediately walk away but raised his eyes to follow the departing figure of Jiang Ning.

At that moment, Huo Li’s thoughts were filled with the realization that the difference in temperament and composure between Jiang Ning and Huo Miao was clear at a glance.

How had he not noticed the difference between these two sisters during the two years that Jiang Ning had lived with the Huo family?

If he had, perhaps the relationship between Jiang Ning and them wouldn’t have come to this point.

With keen senses, Jiang Ning wasn’t unaware of Huo Li’s gaze behind her, but it was of no concern to her.

She walked to the elevator and took it down to the underground parking garage.

The Capital City First People’s Hospital was in a different district from where Jiang Ning currently was. Driving there would take about half an hour.

Before setting off, Jiang Ning sent Qiu Yongfei a message.

A Single Ginger: Where are you?

At the moment, Qiu Yongfei was sitting in a waiting room thousands of miles away from Capital City, holding his phone and seriously scrolling through the comments and private messages from netizens.

Ever since Jiang Ning had helped him post the notice looking for his sister, many netizens had shown interest in him, sending him private messages or commenting under his previous posts.

In a short amount of time, Qiu Yongfei’s followers had increased from a few hundred to over three thousand, and the number was still rising.

Although many netizens were messaging him out of curiosity about his relationship with Jiang Ning, there were also quite a few who seriously provided clues, although Qiu Yongfei needed to discern the veracity of these clues for himself.

Seeing the message from Jiang Ning on his phone, Qiu Yongfei immediately switched to WeChat to reply.

Qiu Yongfei: [Location] Gaoyang Train Station

Qiu Yongfei: I’m still in Mianzhou, I should be able to return to City A by tomorrow afternoon.

Mianzhou is nearly two thousand kilometers away from Capital City.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning decided not to tell Qiu Yongfei for the time being that she had found the whereabouts of his sister. Since he wouldn’t be able to make it in a short time, she might as well go and see Le Zhengling’s current situation first.

Jiang Ning drove to the hospital by herself.

Half an hour later, Jiang Ning’s sedan parked steadily in the hospital’s parking lot. Before getting out of the car, she looked at the passersby coming and going in and out of the hospital building and casually pulled out a medical mask to wear over her face.

Capital City First People’s Hospital, as a provincial hospital, covers a vast area and has towering buildings. Every day, many patients travel long distances to seek treatment.

Jiang Ning entered the hospital building, and the System had only provided her with Le Zhengling’s real name and illness. This kind of formal hospital places great importance on the privacy of patients, and Jiang Ning didn’t expect to get results by asking nurses or doctors.

Jiang Ning stopped, looked up at the hospital’s layout map on the wall, and quickly located the place for inpatient payments. As she was about to continue deeper inside, a man hurried into the hospital from the entrance, brushing past Jiang Ning.

He was wearing a dark leather jacket, black pants, and had empty hands; his gaze was somewhat gloomy and fierce.

[Ding! Potential criminal suspect Zhu Guangyong detected, please pay attention to his actions, Host!]

The System diligently sounded off in Jiang Ning’s mind.

The next second, only visible to Jiang Ning, a yellow exclamation mark triangle, similar to the traffic signs on the streets warning vehicles to be cautious, appeared over the head of the tall and thin man walking ahead of her.

Jiang Ning: "..."

Without hesitation, she followed.

Saying follow, Jiang Ning actually didn’t pass Zhu Guangyong, nor did she walk beside him, instead, she kept a safe distance of about two steps behind him. This ensured that she could keep up with him while preventing him from noticing her.

Walking diagonally behind Zhu Guangyong, Jiang Ning observed him out of the corner of her eye, trying to detect something from his behavior.

Soon, while going up the escalator, Jiang Ning identified after careful observation that it was very likely Zhu Guangyong had a fruit knife in his right pocket!

If it were any other normal person carrying a fruit knife, Jiang Ning might not have paid it much mind.

However, this was a dangerous suspect whom the System had alerted her to in her mind; the chances of him committing a crime were nearly one hundred percent, unless something unexpected or a sudden change affected him along the way.

Jiang Ning quietly followed behind him.

With the reminder from the System, it was as if Jiang Ning had activated a god’s-eye view, and with this perspective, her observation of Zhu Guangyong became much clearer, noting his oddities such as how his right hand was always hanging by his side, close to his pocket, possibly for ease of drawing the knife, and the addition of a silent, cold, and fierce expression on his face.

Stepping out of the elevator, Zhu Guangyong purposefully headed in a certain direction, until he saw someone; a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he quickened his steps once more.

In the not-too-distant hospital corridor, a male doctor in a white lab coat was talking to a nurse in front of him. The nurse held a stack of documents, seeming to consult the doctor with some questions, both engrossed in conversation.

Zhu Guangyong stared viciously at both of them. As he approached them closer and closer, he couldn’t help himself and stealthily reached into his pocket for the fruit knife.

"You cold-blooded quacks! All of you can go to hell!!!" When he was finally only a step or two away, Zhu Guangyong let out a violent roar, reached out to grab the male doctor, and raised the fruit knife in his other hand.

From the extent of his swing, it looked like he was aiming for the male doctor!

This sudden shout caused Lou Yingyan to instinctively look up, and he saw the sharp, gleaming blade about to strike him at close range.

Lou Yingyan felt a chill down his spine and his body instinctively tried to dodge, but he had just finished a ten-hour surgery ten minutes ago, and his body was exhausted. Even though his brain was telling him to dodge to the side, his tired and feeble body remained frozen in place, his expression dazed and slow to react.

The next second, his clothes were violently grabbed, Lou Yingyan raised his hand to block the knife, thinking he was surely going to die.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and he was forcefully dragged forward, his body staggered and a thud on the ground as well as a scream sounded at the same time. Strangely, the expected pain never came.

"Doctor Lou, are you alright!" The nurse hurried forward to support him, her voice anxious.

"I’m fine." Lou Yingyan lowered his hand and immediately saw the tall, skinny man who had just been standing in front of him with a knife intending to stab him, had now fallen several meters away on the corridor floor!

This unexpected turn of events not only left Lou Yingyan, the person involved, stunned but even the bystanders and Zhu Guangyong himself, who had attempted to commit the attack, were slow to grasp what had happened!

What the hell just happened to him? He suddenly flew through the air!
