Chapter 114: Chapter 108 West Lann·Sals I Chapter 114: Chapter 108 West Lann·Sals I Chen Jing lay on her back on the gurney, the vibrations of its progress constantly transmitting from beneath her. The snow-white ceiling of the corridor was slightly dazzling, with two elderly nurses pushing the gurney beside her, their expressions serious, not uttering a word. Now and then, she could hear the voices of patients or their relatives passing by. The air whooshed by her ears with a faint sound.

As the gurney passed an intersection, a group of young people wearing white coats and intern badges walked out. A man wearing glasses, also in a white coat, led the group. They were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere seemed very relaxed.

“Xiao Lu, do you want to go to Huaying Trade after we get off? I saw some nice pants there yesterday, and they were reasonably priced.”

“Sure, let’s go together later.”

“I want to go too.”

“Dongdong, give me a cigarette,” one of the male interns called out loudly, his gaze falling on Chen Jing as she was being pushed along. “Is that our internship subject? She’s pretty. Lucky us.”

“This time it’s an ovary~~” another boy said with a strange laugh.

“Be mindful, we’re about to enter the operating room. Keep it down,” the leading male doctor said sternly.

Chen Jing suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

“Excuse me, nurse, who are these interns…?” she immediately asked the nurse pushing her gurney.

“They’re interns from the local medical college here to observe and learn from the surgery,” the nurse said impatiently. “Just lie still! Don’t move about!”

Chen Jing’s face became somewhat unsightly.

“And the surgery they’re observing and learning is… what surgery?”

The nurse gave her a glance.

“You, of course!”

Chen Jing’s head buzzed. Her ovarian cyst had reached the middle to latter stages, and she had to undergo surgery from her lower abdomen to remove the tumor. This most private part of a woman’s body was about to be manipulated by doctors in front of a crowd, including several male students.

It took her a while to come to her senses, and suppressing the anger in her heart, she hurriedly continued to inquire.

“Isn’t this type of learning supposed to have the patient and their family’s consent? I clearly did not agree…”

“Come on, it’s just letting people have a look. What are you pretending for?” Another nurse with freckles on her face said disdainfully, her badge clearly bearing the name Lin Meifeng. “We get a lot of interns here every year for practice, and this isn’t the first or second time this has happened. What’s there to be shy about?”

“That’s your business! Why should it happen without my consent?” Chen Jing panicked. “This is a right patients should have!” Her voice rose, and some patients and their relatives in the surrounding corridor heard her. Their gaze suddenly focused on her. The two nurses seemed to notice as well and feared it might not look good. Lin Meifeng hesitated.

“Then I’ll go ask the chief surgeon. This isn’t my responsibility. You wait here,” she said, pointing to the other nurse. The latter quickly nodded.

Chen Wu and others who had followed arrived as well. Seeing that something seemed to be going on with Chen Jing, Chen Wu, anxious for his sister, hurried over.

“Sis, what’s wrong? Why have we stopped?”

Chen Jing bit her lip, the shame and indignation in her heart easing slightly as she felt a sense of support in her brother’s tall stature.

“I’m about to have surgery, and they want to let interns in without my consent…”

Chen Wu’s expression darkened as well. His sister’s surgery was already of an embarrassing nature, and if a bunch of people were allowed to watch in the operating room, given his sister’s character, it would be a torment! He glanced at the nurse next to him and seeing that he was tall and strong, with several similarly young and robust young people behind him, looking formidable, the nurse began to feel afraid. Just a few days ago, Nurse Chen from the neighboring ward encountered unreasonable relatives of a patient and was almost beaten. She looked at Chen Wu and quickly forced a smile.

“It’s fine, if you disagree then we’ll leave it. It’s just a small matter.”

“What’s the situation now?” Chen Wu asked the nurse coldly.

“The head nurse has gone to ask the chief surgeon,” the nurse said, smiling in accompaniment.

Only then did Chen Wu nod. However, Lin Fei, who was behind him, suddenly broke the silence with a pleasant burst of pure music from his phone.

Lin Fei apologized with a smile to the others and stepped aside to answer the call.

“Hello, Lin Fei? It’s Chen Chen.” The voice on the phone was calm but carried a hint of solemnity. Although it directly called by Lin Fei’s name, it was also a precaution to maintain anonymity; Chen Chen’s files had been re-archived. “I have chosen someone from the newcomers to be the manager. Do you need to review it?”

Lin Fei knew she was referring to a new member scouted for her private enterprise.

“I’ll be over soon. Have the relevant documents ready.” After a pause, he suddenly remembered something from a while ago about staff appointed from above who had already arrived. “Has the person from above arrived?”

“They came quite early. Only one person. However, they haven’t made any proactive contact with us.”

Lin Fei pondered for a moment, “Then it doesn’t matter. These strong ones all have their own thoughts.”

“There’s one more thing, the guy from before has arrived,” Chen Chen suddenly said.

“Hmm, got it,” Lin Fei lightly ended the call, seemingly contemplative.

Ping City Center Music Square

As evening approached, the sky turned gloomy. The surrounding buildings and shops began to light up with colorful lights. Multi-colored billboards, slowly moving cars, motorcycles among others, a large flow of people shuttled back and forth across the square.

Lin You, wearing a fluffy turtleneck sweater paired with slim white jeans, stood at the edge of the square, looking up at a six-story building in front of her. Black cat Feil nestled in her arms.

“This is the place, don’t forget the special training I gave you the other day,” the black cat’s voice rang in Lin You’s ear.

“I won’t. That kind of training I absolutely won’t forget!” Lin You declared decisively, a hint of red flashing across her face.

“Humph, if you forgot, you’d be in big trouble. This person will definitely make you remember for the rest of your life,” the black cat said with a hint of nostalgia.

A sharp glint passed through Lin You’s eyes.

“Let’s go,” she said, holding the black cat as she strode into the stairway of the building.

This building was plastered with all kinds of billboards on the outside, giving off an incredibly loud and noisy impression. But as soon as Lin You stepped inside, she could feel the noise from outside fading away with each step she took. It was as if she was entering another world. Ahead was complete darkness. Staircases that seemed never-ending. The entrance behind her grew more distant, like only a pinpoint of light was left visible.

Lin You wore a serious expression, holding the black cat close without a word as she moved forward.

“To meet this person, you must have specific attire, carry a certain aura, and be ready for a fight at any moment!” Black cat Feil’s steady voice echoed in Lin You’s ear.

“You’ve said it many times,” Lin You responded gravely, no one around her except the endlessly extending stairway ahead.

“Do you know why he set up this staircase?” Black cat suddenly asked.

Lin You shook her head.

“That is because…”

Whoosh!

A sudden rush of wind swept through.

Lin You was prepared, her right leg executing a spin kick.

With a smack! “Ah!”

A brief scream was cut short.

Suddenly, the surroundings lit up brightly, the environment shifting instantaneously from the pitch-black stairwell to a small, well-lit room. The room was about the size of a bedroom, with a messy bed, a writing desk with a black computer on it, the LCD monitor on, displaying an anime girl. The pale yellow walls were plastered with various posters of anime girls, all quite bold.

There were no lights on the ceiling, yet it mysteriously emitted a soft glow. The floor was an ordinary wooden one, but it was littered with the leftover packaging of instant noodles, biscuits, snacks, and other rubbish.

Suddenly remembering the shadow that she had kicked behind her, Lin You made a small jump, turning around cautiously.

On the floor, a burly man with a large build knelt without a word, his hands tightly covering his face.

Thud.

A drop of blood fell from his face to the floor.

Lin You was startled; she hadn’t used much force just now, and if this man was as strong as Feil had described, he wouldn’t be so weak as to get injured from one kick!

“Ah!” a loud roar erupted suddenly.

The man sprang up from the ground, his hands leaving his face. Blood was streaming relentlessly from his nostrils.

“What a sexy little butt~~~” He flushed with faux adolescent longing.
