Chapter 371: Chapter 371 Heavenly Fortune (13)
He wants you dead.
These four words, as they fell into Chu Wu’s ears, were especially clear.
Chuu Wu…
It was him again.
–
The hospital requested an examination of the body, but the family refused to consent under any circumstances.
Without the family’s agreement, there was no way to proceed with the investigation, so the police were working on getting their consent.
Investigating the cause of death would require starting with the deceased.
But the family, citing ‘The person is already dead, why can’t you leave him be?’ refused to agree.
The family gathered more people to make a scene in the hospital.
They accused the hospital doctors of incompetence, causing death, and even allowing hospital staff to engage in violence.
The incident was becoming a huge deal.
Media from all sides converged upon hearing the news, joining the family members to encircle the hospital.
Online, information about Chu Wu began to spread wildly.
Especially about how he hadn’t practiced medicine for several years.
This point was undoubtedly a focus of interest.
Even if you graduated with excellent grades, how can you ensure your skills are still sharp after several years out of the field?
In the end, public opinion escalated to questioning the hospital for employing such a person.
There are certain people online.
They don’t know the truth, but they speak as if they were on the scene, seemingly more knowledgeable than the people involved.
Chu Wu, the person at the center of it all, was trapped inside the hospital.
The hospital staff had quite a few complaints about him.
“Big brother, is it really okay to do this?”
“What could go wrong? As long as we don’t let them perform an autopsy, there won’t be any problems. You can relax; they wouldn’t dare to do it forcefully, I’ve asked around.”
Without the family’s consent, they had no right to touch the body.
“I still feel a little…”
“Rest assured, I’m here. Now, go on back first.”
“Alright then.”
The woman slipped out from a corner, looking around to make sure no one was there, and left quickly with her head down.
Chuzheng stood at the corner, her figure obscured by the green plants.
Only after the woman disappeared without a trace did she step out and start walking.
The man pushed open the door to the fire escape, and as he did so, his eyes met the girl standing outside.
With her delicate face, the girl stared at him expressionlessly.
Her clear eyes seemed to contain the frost and snow of winter, bone-chillingly cold.
The man subconsciously took a step back.

It was this girl again…
Chuzheng walked toward him.
“What do you want?” the man barked.
“Nothing much.” Chuzheng’s tone was flat, “Just wanted to have a talk.”
The door to the fire escape slowly closed, blocking their figures inside.
Ten minutes later.
Hospital rooftop.
The man was tied to the railing by Chuzheng, who leaned casually with crossed legs, embodying a relaxed air.
The man had snot and tears smeared all over his face, far from the arrogance he had shown before, now wishing he could just crawl into a hole and hide.
He wanted to get as far away from this ‘demon’ as possible.
“I’ll give you another chance, either go down and turn yourself in, or I’ll send you down to see your brother,” she said.
Her voice was scattered by the wind on the rooftop.
To go down and see his brother…
That meant death, didn’t it?
The man glanced towards the edge of the rooftop and instantly felt his legs weaken.
“I… I’ll turn myself in, I’ll confess,” he blurted quickly.
Chuzheng glanced at him, “Did someone put you up to this?”
“No… no, it was my idea… I wanted to extort a big sum from the hospital,” he said.
“Really, no one else?”
“No one, truly no one,” he insisted.
He didn’t seem to be lying.
Chuzheng recalled the last time she encountered Sang Meng and the influence that meeting had brought her…
It seemed capable of awakening the darker side of a person’s heart.
Even of hypnotizing them.
This must be the power of a Fallen Angel.
There was no need for them to show up in person.
Seems quite impressive.
I wonder if I’d be able to do the same if I cut off my wings…
Thinking about it is quite exciting.
[…]King’s Account repeated the customer service smile policy a few times, [“Miss, can you please not turn evil?”]
The Good Person Card hasn’t turned evil yet, and you’ve already become evil!
“How have I gone evil?” Chuzheng asked innocently.
[You’re thinking about cutting off someone else’s wings and claiming them as your own, and you’re not evil?]You’ve always been turning evil! Never surpassed!
“She cut my wings first; what’s wrong with me cutting back?” An eye for an eye, how can I not retaliate for my wings being chopped off?
Chuzheng defended herself righteously.
[…]
It seems… there’s nothing wrong with that.
Ptui!
[But we are the Spendthrift System.]Struggling, King’s Account said, [“Miss, let’s be spendthrifts.”]
Send a mission to calm down the miss.
[Main Mission: Please become a stockholder of ‘Xinnan Hospital’ within 72 hours.]
Chuzheng: “…”
Bastard you damn thing!
[…]I’m used to it, calm.
Chuzheng kicked the man beside her who was considerably frightened: “Scram!”
The man felt the girl in front of him was radiating ferocity; he dared not tarry.
“Don’t even think about running. If you haven’t turned yourself in by the time I get down there, I guarantee even if you run to the ends of the earth, I’ll bring you back…”
Chuzheng threatened the man with a cold tone.
She had more to say, but the man didn’t want to hear any of it.
He truly had thought of escaping just before…
However, at this moment, with a look from Chuzheng, he felt a tingling fear.
“No… I wouldn’t dare.”
The man swallowed hard and stumbled downstairs, grabbing a police officer and yelling that he wanted to confess.
–
The man was the big brother of the deceased, who was diagnosed with late-stage cancer six months ago.
Over the past six months, the family had spent all their money on his treatment.
Furthermore, the sick man had become especially irritable, causing misery for the whole family.
So the man planned an ‘accident’ which resulted in the deceased being seriously injured.
He had hoped to stage a scam to extort some money.
But unexpectedly, the person who caused the accident fled.
After the victim was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, it seemed like there was nothing serious.
However, just a few hours later, the patient suddenly died.
Thus, the man came up with a plan to extort the hospital.
He quickly summoned relatives and friends, telling them that the deceased was ‘killed by the hospital’s treatment’.
And so the following events unfolded.
But as for how the deceased actually died, the man was clueless.
With the family’s consent, the police performed an autopsy on the deceased.
They discovered that the deceased had died of a myocardial infarction.
However, according to their statements, aside from cancer, everything was normal with the deceased.
The nurse at the nurse station also said that there was nothing unusual with the patient at the time.
He was fine when she checked five minutes earlier, but five minutes later, he was breathless.
Although it’s unclear why the deceased suddenly had a heart attack, it was certain that the doctors weren’t to blame.
Chu Wu was cleared of suspicion.
But this did not calm the online crowd, and under pressure, the hospital had no choice but to fire Chu Wu.
“Chu Wu…”
The young doctor looked at him, wanting to say more but hesitating.
“It’s okay.”
Chu Wu was surprisingly calm.
He started to pack his belongings into boxes.
In fact, there wasn’t much to pack… In this world, there was not much left for him now.
The young doctor advised, “You shouldn’t take those online comments to heart. They don’t know anything, just blathering on the internet.”
“Hmm.”
The young doctor was filled with concern: “How about you come and stay at my place for now? It’s a bit humble, but it’s spacious. You can stay there until you find a suitable place. How about that?”
“No need,” Chu Wu shook his head: “I have a place to stay.”
