August 31st, 4:17 PM, 55 hours and 43 minutes remaining until the complete descent of the terrifying resurgence.
Luocheng, Second People's Hospital.
An Ruoxue had never been so cautious before.
In fact, when she and Chu Qing left the Lin Family villa, it was only around 2 PM, yet An Ruoxue had spent over two hours on the way.
It wasn't traffic jams, but rather the item placed in the back seat.
If, before this afternoon, she absolutely wouldn't have believed in ghosts, after what happened at the Lin Family villa this afternoon, she now knew that the God of Wealth placed in the back seat was a genuine, bona fide weirdness.
Who could drive with a clear mind?
She didn't know how many tickets she had received all the way here.
Thinking about a ghost constantly watching her from behind made An Ruoxue feel utterly terrified.
Who knew how many times she had cursed Chu Qing in her heart on the way?
If it weren't for the 'attitude' that thing in the back had towards Chu Qing when they were at the Lin Family villa this afternoon, she would have cursed it out loud.
Was this guy even human? Well, looking at it now, it really wasn't certain.
After scaring people, he just took a taxi and left, leaving her, a woman, to bring this ghostly thing alone?
Of course, while thinking this in her heart, she said to herself more than once:
"I am Chu Qing's woman. If you're looking for trouble with the Lin Family, don't come to me..."
She had to admit, that man treated her like a beast of burden, but at this moment, An Ruoxue found that only he could give her a sense of security.
Even if it was just a name.
So, later, when she brought the statue into the ward, An Ruoxue found that the fear in her heart had unknowingly vanished without a trace.
"Xue'er, you're finally here! Why didn't you answer my calls?"
Lin Hengtian quickly stepped forward and took the black statue of the God of Wealth, about thirty centimeters tall.
He obviously hadn't noticed the change in the black God of Wealth statue. He complained about An Ruoxue's late arrival, which had subjected him to the torment of two old nuisances for over two hours.
He reached out and took the heavy bronze statue of the God of Wealth.
Then he hurried towards his father, Lin Yuancheng.
And as expected, ever since An Ruoxue entered, Lin Yuancheng's gaze hadn't shifted from the statue of the God of Wealth:
"God of Wealth! God of Wealth! Mine! My money!"
"Dad, the God of Wealth is here. Don't worry, with the God of Wealth, our family won't lack money. Cooperate and take your medicine obediently!"
Lin Hengtian quickly handed the statue over.
Lin Yuancheng clutched the statue tightly in his arms. His wide, round eyes finally slowly closed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Hengtian then said:
"I told you, just bring this thing to Dad. Once he calms down, letting the doctor treat him properly is better than anything."
The woman, seeing her husband calm down, also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. Looking at her husband, who had closed his eyes, she added:
"Since that's the case, let your father sleep. Tell the medical staff, he hasn't eaten all day. Let's go out and eat something."
The three nodded in unison and walked out of the hospital.
They quickly grabbed a bite at a small restaurant nearby. When they came out, it was already dark.
However, as the three of them returned to the entrance of the Second People's Hospital, a taxi slowly pulled up.
The three people present glanced at it, and the movements of two of them involuntarily stopped.
Lin Hengtian and An Ruoxue had completely different reactions.
The former frowned, while the latter showed surprise mixed with a hint of panic.
However, both remained silent, watching Chu Qing get out of the taxi.
Yes, it was Chu Qing who had arrived.
"Chu Qing, what are you doing here?"
Lin Hengtian asked coldly.
Chu Qing turned his head to look at the three people at the entrance, and the familiar, yet detestable, curve of his lips reappeared.
Facing the young master Lin's question, Chu Qing spoke directly:
"To get something of mine. Young Master Lin is here too."
"You have something here?"
Lin Hengtian looked at the entrance of the Second Hospital, a bit confused.
However, it was clear that after what happened at noon today, the Young Master Lin had no intention of chatting with Chu Qing, especially with his family present.
He calmly walked into the hospital lobby and approached the elevator.
To his annoyance, the detestable guy also followed him into the elevator.
Lin Hengtian made no effort to hide his disgust.
The woman beside him also noticed her son's expression. She cast a strange and contemptuous glance at the plainly dressed young man with good looks and an extraordinary aura.
As a genuine 'upper class person' in Luocheng, although she didn't know the relationship between Chu Qing and her son, it was obvious that giving him a good look was not necessary.
However, just as she was about to ask, a few nurses rushed towards the elevator.
Seeing the four people in the elevator, an older nurse bowed slightly:
"Sir, Madam, we need to go to the eighth floor inpatient department urgently. Could you please wait a moment?"
The three people, excluding Chu Qing, were surprised. Lin Hengtian asked:
"We're also going to the eighth floor. What's wrong?"
The eighth floor was the private ward of the Second Hospital. Those who could reside there were obviously either rich or influential.
However, the nurses' expressions clearly changed, but they shook their heads:
"It's nothing. In that case, let's go up together."
Lin Hengtian exchanged a look with the woman, seeming to see the worry in each other's eyes. Only Chu Qing's smile remained undiminished.
They arrived at the eighth floor. By the elevator, a doctor anxiously asked:
"Do you have the spare key for room 11? Hurry!"
Room 11!
As soon as this number was mentioned, Lin Hengtian's face visibly turned pale. He disregarded the woman and his mother behind him and hurried after the doctor:
"Doctor, what's wrong with room 11?"
The doctor clearly recognized Lin Hengtian.
But unfortunately, at this moment, the doctor had no intention of speaking to him. Sweat dripped from his forehead, soaking the edges of his mask.
With the spare key, they arrived at the door of room 11.
An Ruoxue and the woman also hurried over.
Only Chu Qing walked over slowly. Then, he heard the piercing screams from the front!
"Ah..."
In less than a few minutes,
The woman, who had been so high and mighty, screamed and fainted. The young master, who had been so imposing, turned pale and collapsed on the ground.
The anxious doctor sighed with relief, his worried heart finally at peace.
Only An Ruoxue, her face pale, turned her head to look at her ex-boyfriend walking slowly behind her.
Chu Qing.
Her expression was complex, filled with an indescribable terror. She suddenly had the illusion that King Yama had come to collect a soul!
Chu Qing ignored her gaze and leisurely strolled to the door of room 11.
Through the wide-open door, Lin Yuancheng lay on the snow-white hospital bed. The bronze statue of the God of Wealth was placed in his arms, facing the entrance. The face of the bronze statue of the God of Wealth seemed to be smiling at everyone.
On the snow-white hospital bed, piles and piles of bright red banknotes were scattered on the bed, the quilt, and all over the floor.
At this moment, it didn't look like a hospital room, but rather a tomb piled with red banknotes.
In the center of the 'tomb', Lin Yuancheng sat up, leaning against the hospital bed. His eyes were blood-red from suffocation. He opened his mouth wide, and his mouth was also stuffed with bright red banknotes.
Like a blooming rose.
