Medical room.
“How are their injuries?” Wang Ling asked Chen Shengnan beside her while looking at Qin Hao, who was immersed in the treatment pool.
“9527’s injuries are severe. Four ribs are broken, his internal organs are seriously damaged, his entire body has been burned by electricity, and multiple areas of tissue have necrotized.” Chen Shengnan sighed.
“Can he be cured?” Wang Ling asked with a frown.
Chen Shengnan shook her head. “The outlook isn’t good. Even a five-star rank expert couldn’t withstand the current from the prisoner chip, let alone an ordinary person like him.”
“How is 2032?” Wang Ling asked again.
“Her condition is much better. After all, she’s a four-star expert with extremely strong physical constitution, and 9527 took on much of the lethal current. She has only suffered considerable mental exhaustion and needs to rest for a few days. It was probably caused by receiving psychological counseling from 9527. In addition, the prisoner chip inside her body has already burned out from the overload.”
Wang Ling nodded and tossed her a potion. “Notify me when he wakes up.”
Chen Shengnan looked at the potion and was immediately startled. “A special-effect healing potion!”
The special-effect healing potion was a potion with extraordinarily powerful healing effects. As long as the body was not missing any parts, it could basically cure anything.
However, this kind of potion was extremely precious. Through legitimate channels, only those who had made major contributions had a chance to obtain one.
Wang Ling walked outside without offering any explanation.
Chen Shengnan hurriedly called out, “warden, this potion is so precious. You probably only have one bottle yourself, right? You gave it to 9527, but what about you?”
“It’s fine.” Wang Ling paused slightly and answered indifferently.
“Warden, should we tell 9527 about this?” Chen Shengnan hurriedly asked.
Wang Ling shook her head. “There’s no need.”
Chen Shengnan looked at her in surprise, but ultimately did not dare say anything more.
However, just as Wang Ling was about to leave the room,
a machine suddenly began to hum.
Wang Ling immediately turned around, and Chen Shengnan hurried over to the machine.
“Warden, 9527’s brain waves are abnormal! The fluctuations are extremely intense! They’ve already exceeded the instrument’s detection range!” Chen Shengnan exclaimed.
“Is there any effect?” Wang Ling walked back and asked.
“I don’t know.” Chen Shengnan shook her head. “Nothing has been detected for now…”
Before she could finish speaking, another instrument began to beep. Chen Shengnan hurried over to check it. “The active ingredients in the healing fluid are being consumed rapidly. His injuries have begun to improve!”
Wang Ling looked at Qin Hao in the pool and slowly nodded. “His will is forcing his body to absorb a large amount of healing fluid, enhancing the treatment effect. Remember to add healing fluid in time.”
Chen Shengnan widened her eyes and asked in astonishment, “warden, could he have heard you and wants to help you save the special-effect healing potion?”
Wang Ling said nothing. She gave Qin Hao a deep look before turning and leaving.
“Warden, your special-effect healing potion!” Seeing that she was leaving, Chen Shengnan hurriedly called after her.
“It’s his now. Give it to him.” Wang Ling waved her hand and walked out of the medical room.
Chen Shengnan looked at her, then at Qin Hao, her face full of astonishment.
The relationship between them seemed rather intriguing.
…
Several days later.
Two women stood outside the medical room. One had delicate features, while the other was a bald-headed man.
“Liu Fang, why do you come to see him every day?” the bald woman asked.
The other woman was none other than Liu Fang. She glanced at the bald woman and said indifferently,
“Don’t you come every day too?”
The bald woman giggled. “He and I are friends. Isn’t it only right for me to come visit him?”
“Friends? You nearly killed him, and you still have the nerve to call yourself his friend?” Liu Fang snorted, a trace of anger entering her voice.
Qin Hao was the link between her and her daughter. If anything happened to him, she would never be able to contact her daughter again.
Jinx had nearly caused Qin Hao’s death. How could Liu Fang not be furious?
Yes, this bald-headed man was Jinx. Her golden hair had already been burned to ashes by the electric current.
Her injuries were relatively light, and she had already been awake for several days.
During these days, whenever she had free time, she would come to the medical room to visit Qin Hao, only to run into Liu Fang every time.
Originally, Qin Hao’s injuries had been recovering well these past few days, and she had been in a very good mood.
But now, Liu Fang’s words had pierced her, and she said coldly,
“Whether I’m his friend isn’t for you to approve! Also, if you don’t know how to speak, then shut your foul mouth!”
“Was I wrong? You clearly nearly killed him, yet now you’re pretending to visit him. Don’t you have any shame?” Liu Fang sneered.
“You’re courting death!” Jinx flew into a rage, her eyes filled with icy menace.
“What? You want to fight? Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Liu Fang said with utter disdain.
Jinx’s gaze sharpened, and she was about to attack.
Click.
However, at that moment, the door to the medical room opened.
A figure walked out. He had handsome features, deep eyes, and a faint smile at the corners of his mouth. It was Qin Hao.
Seeing him, both women immediately set aside their hostility, their eyes shining with delight.
“Liu Fang, you once promised me that you wouldn’t let negative emotions control you. Have you managed to do that?” Qin Hao asked Liu Fang.
Liu Fang furrowed her brows. Her anger stemmed from her worry for Qin Hao, but now that she saw he was unharmed, her anger vanished without a trace.
“I’m sorry. I’ll do my best to control myself.” She apologized to Qin Hao.
“That’s wonderful! You’re all right!” Jinx examined Qin Hao with a face full of delight.
Qin Hao nodded. “The King of Hell said I was too handsome, so the underworld wouldn’t accept me.”
Pfft!
Hearing this, Jinx laughed and rubbed Qin Hao’s head. “That’s true. You really are handsome, especially with such a fashionable hairstyle.”
Qin Hao was also bald now, naturally for the same reason as Jinx.
Qin Hao touched his own bald head as well and smiled at Jinx. “Yes, we have matching couple hairstyles.”
Jinx’s cheeks flushed, and she spat, “Who has a couple hairstyle with you? Dream on!”
Qin Hao smiled faintly and walked toward the psychological counseling room. “After resting for so many days, it’s time to get back to work.”
“Are you really all right?” Jinx asked with concern.
“My injuries have almost healed. I’m just a little mentally weak, but otherwise there’s no problem.” Qin Hao nodded.
Jinx nodded in relief and was just about to follow Qin Hao when Liu Fang grabbed her.
“What? You want to fight?” Jinx asked with a frown.
“No.” Liu Fang shook her head. “Don’t you think what he did was a little reckless?”
Jinx pondered briefly, then nodded. “Yes. He doesn’t seem to like using the protective device.”
“Neither of us wants anything to happen to him, so how about we join forces to protect his safety?” Liu Fang asked.
Jinx’s eyes lit up. “You mean we become his personal bodyguards?”
“Yes. We’ll take turns protecting him, with at least one of us staying by his side.”
“Good! Then it’s settled.” Jinx smiled, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes. “I like the feeling of being close.”
