Chapter 340 - Vulnerable to Madness

Ruan Jin's brows lifted as he heard Ye Ling's words. This unreasonable yet relatable woman was Li Heilong's cousin? Gosh, a man like that still had family aside from Li Feng and Mian Bingbing? Why did it feel like he never knew anyone else but them?

Then again, before Ruan Jin could say something, Yu Mona's voice echoed from behind him. "Dr. Wang! You're here. You need to hurry. The miss inside didn't seem to be doing very good."

"It's alright. Her condition is not outside my power, Mrs. Ruan." Wang Yusheng humored the lady who was probably hearing the screams from a lot closer place than he did. Actually, none of the nurses went to check since they saw Wang Yusheng flying across the hallway.

"Dr. Wang…" Ruan Jin made way for the doctor, and his voice somewhat took Li Xin's attention. 

Someone was actually watching her from the door? Someone dared to spy on her?! However, when she was about to scream at Ruan Jin, Wang Yusheng had already blocked her view of the outsiders and started talking to her about the injury.

That was when something very unexpected happened.

Piak! Even louder than the sound of the fallen metal tray and the gasp of the nurse who was still inside… a slap echoed as Li Xin blatantly hit Wang Yusheng's face with her palm as if all the pain had been transformed into strength. However, she didn't even let up even some others were watching.

"Useless! You said everything was going to be fine! You call this 'fixed'! Bastard doctor!" Li Xin yelled right at Wang Yusheng's face, the man not even moving as he turned his face away and letting her see the reddened mark on his cheek. "Get me Big Brother! I want Big Brother!"

She was about to hit the doctor again, but Ye Ling flew to her side and grabbed her shoulder and her wrist. Li Xin froze as cold hands descended on her body, and murderous intent radiated from behind her ear as if something was behind her. Her face even showed the sudden fear she felt.

Ye Ling then whispered in a wailing voice, "Be wary of who you hit, human. Every limb on your body is surely… very delicious."

"Ahhh!" Li Xin quickly curled up away from Wang Yusheng, letting her blood and pus drip on the bed. She could only use a hand to hold onto her head and shiver in terror incessantly. It was as if she knew that some ghost was onto her again. She didn't question the presence; she only questioned the world why it had to be her.

"Nurse, please hand me that. Also, sent the fallen objects for disinfection." Wang Yusheng dropped his anger. He wanted to retaliate with words alone, considering that this was a weak woman who he could choke dead in a minute, just by using one hand. She was nothing to him if he wasn't a doctor forced to attend to her.

No wonder Li Heilong was uncomfortable in assigning him to this devil woman.

However, from the corner of his eyes, he saw her… a woman in a white dress and lush black hair came to Li Xin's side. He had also heard the threat in that soft voice she gave. Wang Yusheng was also frozen, but since the ghost woman had vanished just as fast as she came, he was able to move first. While Li Xin was frightened, she was rather unmoving like a log.

Outside, Yu Mona and Ruan Jin saw the slapping. The reason why Ye Ling acted was that Yu Mona grew very displeased. That mother had gotten into an accident way before which rendered her less than a functional person, but she used to be a nurse. Things like these could prompt her to attack people.

Ye Ling had felt the surge of negativity, and so she had to be the one dealing with the devil woman. As for Li Heilong being displeased, she could always fight for her right to defend the doctor who fixed her Ruan Lang as if just snapping a finger.

No, seriously. Mother Li didn't consult him with the prosthetic arm, and he did say way before that it was too early for one. They still went ahead and then came crying at him when the wound got busted. Now, this Li Xin had the audacity to hit him? Useless? He wasn't useless; they were the brainless bunch. Li Heilong shouldn't have taken all the IQ from everyone in his family.

"Are you okay, Dr. Wang?" Yu Mona asked when the doctor exited the room. He lifted his brows at her, and she only repeated her question in exactly the same way she did earlier. "Are you okay, Dr. Wang?"

"This is nothing. Thanks for the concern, Mrs. Ruan." Wang Yusheng then swept his eyes among them. "You shouldn't be poking your noses in our people's rooms. This is a hospital. Some people feel that they are being humiliated by staying here and having other people take care of them. I would love to see you off, but I still have a lot of things to—"

His voice trailed off, and his wariness was triggered by the sight in front of him. Ye Ling was standing there, smiling at him as if she knew that this wasn't the first time they had met. To Ye Ling, it was way back in Cherry Med; to Wang Yusheng, it was just earlier. He stopped because he was taught not to trust all the spirits that he could see… or end up seeing.

Ye Ling then giggled. "Don't be like that, Dr. Wang. I protected you, didn't I? Also, that lady… she's so saturated with negative energy like she had been bathing in it for years. Do you know where she lives? I feel like there's a strong one there, and Guangru won't say no in consuming such a thing."

"Guangru?" Upon hearing a familiar name, Wang Yusheng flipped the wary switch off, but he was still exhibiting caution towards such a thing. If she could be materialized, then she must be at least… King? Hm, wait, that didn't sound right. No matter; this was outside Wang Yusheng's specialty.

"Hm, yes, my name is Ye Ling, and I am one of Liu Xiaodan's friends." When she said 'friends', Wang Yusheng knew that it was different from the normal meaning. "So? Do you know where she lives, Dr. Wang?"

"…they called it a transcending King, but as much as I know, Guangru and Xiaodan had already taken care of it." He couldn't just continue standing there so he had to talk and ask them to follow him. "Does bathing in so much negative energy affect a person's health aside from their mental states?"

Ye Ling only hummed. "Of course! Their bodies' energy will be depleted by the source of the negative energy, and it will be replaced by the negative energy itself. The longer it continued, the more the human would be vulnerable to possession or… madness."
