Experienced Customer

d, her voice tinged with an undeniable excitement: “What did you say! That ancient beauty in costume is invisible to ordinary people today I actually saw her! Did I open my third eye too!”I... You've..."The Lu family must have arrived before us. They brought Sister Lu here for a stomach wash." I shrank my neck; the atmosphere was just too uncomfortable.

This hospital is one of the largest in our city. It's usually crowded during the day, but at night it's much quieter. Although it's not exactly lively, it's hardly eerie considering it's in a bustling downtown area.

I rubbed my arms together, Mu Wanchen hugged my shoulders and whispered softly, "Can I hold you"

"Huh" I was taken aback, and with one arm he lifted me up.

"Stop, stop, stop! Nobody here walks around being held like that! You'll attract attention!" I struggled to jump down.

Then you're underdressed, take the scarf back and wrap it around yourself.

"No, you better cover up well. Hospitals have cameras everywhere, hide your face, don't get caught on camera." I frowned and said.

He sighed helplessly: "You should have huddled behind me when you were cold."

"Why is it so cold Something's off." I walked into the hospital inpatient department with my neck hunched.

Unlike the marketplace-like atmosphere of hospital buildings in the past, nowadays, in higher-end hospitals, there are regulations for visiting patients. More stringent hospitals even require registration and appointments.

Sister Lu's status was not ordinary, and the Lu family was also wealthy and generous. Naturally, they lived in a VIP ward.

The reception desk in the inpatient department was deserted. A light at the end of the distant corridor flickered and finally went out, leaving only the elevator button lights glowing faintly.

I "whoosh" jumped behind Mu Wanchen, this eerie and cold scene reminded me of old bridge segments in horror films.

The elevator door suddenly opened, and a pregnant nurse with a slightly protruding belly walked out. She stared at us in surprise and asked, "Visitors Do you have an appointment"

Seeing the regular staff, I quietly let out a breath and cleared my throat to adjust my tone: "No...we're here to visit a patient surnamed Lu. She's her, her family doctor."

I made a random remark. The nurse went to the nurses' station and checked, asking, "Is she a recent admission All the commotion just now was because of this patient… She hasn't gone through formal admission procedures yet. Here you go, temporary visiting cards. Please return them when you leave, or the alarm at the entrance will go off."

She handed me a small magnetic card. I reached out and took it, my fingertips brushing against hers, which were very cold.

Pregnant people generally have a higher body temperature and tend to feel hot, so why are her hands so cold

I stole a glance at her face, which was also pale. Perhaps she had a cold constitution and was afraid of the cold. I took the key card from her and walked with Mu Wanchen to the elevator.

The elevators in the hospital are different from those in apartment buildings. They are very large and long, wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs, beds, and a circle of medical personnel.

Mu Wanchen saw me walk to the elevator and reached out to pull me back, frowning slightly: "Don't go in."

"Huh" I was taken aback, looking at the magnetic card in my hand that read "Floor 11".

If you can't go in, do you have to climb the stairs

"Something's not right here. Going into this enclosed space is like tying our own hands, walking up the stairs." He said seriously.

"Eleventh floor Walking up the stairs" I frowned.

"Can't you go"

"I could, but it's so high…"

"It's just a little tiring, it's better than facing danger. I can carry you out." He pulled me and pushed open the safety passage door.

Under the harsh glare of the incandescent lights, the safety passage was deserted and desolate. I didn't want him to hug me because there were cameras here too. It would be so awkward to walk around hugging in public. What if we ran into someone we knew

Floors above the 10th are for VIPs, and I followed him ***doing it*** all the way up. Before we even pushed the door open, we heard someone talking in the hallway outside, seemingly meeting at this window's smoking area to discuss something.

I was about to push the door open, but Mu Wanchen shook his head slightly, signaling me to stay quiet.

From beyond the door, a woman's voice spoke: " ...You should have come to us to handle this a long time ago. This isn't just simple poisoning; there's also a curse involved. See how she starts babbling as soon as she wakes up a bit Your enemies are powerful. Not only do they torture her body with poison, but they also torment her mind with witchcraft. If you don't take action soon, even if the physical poison is removed, she'll become... mentally ill. Don't believe me Just wait and see."

This voice had a bit of arrogance to it, and it sounded like he was chewing on a cigarette.

"What are we going to do To be honest... We don't understand any of this. It was our daughter Rong who contacted you guys. She knows all sorts of people, and only learned that you were famous in the Northern underworld. What should we do now"

"How to do it To break other people's magic is to harm oneself ~~"

"Price is not an issue, as long as it's not outrageously expensive beyond our capabilities, we can negotiate. Give us a number," said Mr. Lu.

The woman pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, “Our master has passed away. Now the eldest disciple is in charge. Please ask her to perform a divination to determine the difficulty level. At the very least, it would cost six figures. Your relative has both poison and magical abilities, so it would be at least a million.”

"One million Well, that's a bit much for me to say. How about one million five hundred thousand"

The woman let out two snickers. "Sure, I'll tell our head mistress."

After their footsteps faded from the door, I stared at Mu Wanchen and said, "That bite from Bai Ni, it's worth 1.5 million"

Mu Wanchen let out a dismissive "Humph": "Spellcraft Does she think she's anyone important, worthy of me using spellcraft A bunch of swindling charlatans fooling people out of their money."

"What are we supposed to do Let these charlatans treat them If they fail, people will die... And if we treat them and cure them, they'll still take credit for it, swindling all that money! Plus, our family would be blamed! Saying things like 'we couldn't cure them,' or 'they were already beyond help'... This would ruin our reputation!" I said angrily.

Mu Wanchen glanced at me: "Little Lu'er, your mind is quite nimble, you have so many thoughts."

"Or else what!" I snarled at him, baring my teeth. "If you like your wives to be naive and sweet, then I'm not the one for you! Even in a divorce, I'll make sure you lose half your assets!"

"...I belong to you. How would you divide me" He looked at me with amusement.

"Ugh~ Don't change the subject, just tell me how to handle this!" I said with a frown.

“It's not a big deal, you can detox right now.” Mu Wanchen said very casually. He pulled open the door and took me out of the safety passageway.

This floor is so cold. Logically, the VIP area should have a comfortable temperature and humidity.

But goosebumps erupted all over me. In the distance, I saw a thin woman in black leather jacket and pants sitting on a bench outside a ward. Her collar stood up, covering most of her face, so I couldn't see her expression. Her head was a tangled mess of red hair.

"Mu, Mu Wanchen... Is this person or a ghost" I felt that the chill of this whole building was emanating from this person.

Her two legs were straight, looking very stiff.

"...counts as... a person, I suppose." Mu Wanchen said softly.'s truly cunning!"It doesn't matter how cunning that old man is! I'm worried about the others now! Where can we find them!Can we still escape safely!"Mu Yunfan, come here." Jiang Qiyun suddenly said t...
