"What did you realize?"
As Chen Miao pulled back the curtain and stepped into the operating room, he immediately saw Doctor Gou lying on the operating table, wrapped up like a mummy. Although Doctor Gou's voice sounded extremely weak and exhausted, his spirit seemed pretty good.
He should survive.
Just that the injury...
"..."
Chen Miao's face remained expressionless as he paused for a moment before asking, "Who did this?"
After all, Doctor Gou was somewhat his mentor, a member of his "Tomb Guardian" group. It was inconceivable for some desperate thugs to leave him half-dead like this. How could Chen Miao not seek revenge for Doctor Gou?
"That's not important." Stay connected through empire
Lying in the hospital bed, Doctor Gou looked a bit manic, staring straight at Chen Miao with a strange emotion in his voice. "Chen Miao, do you know? When those desperadoes were torturing me."
"They pierced the back of my hand with an awl!"
"They jabbed needles under my fingernails!"
"They laid tissues over my face and then poured water on top!"
"Suddenly, I felt so exhilarating, so good, a very pleasant feeling rushing from head to toe!"
"It hurt."
"The intense pain and the near suffocation were almost enough to make me scream!"
"..."
Chen Miao took a few slow steps back with an unfazed countenance, turning his head towards the Black Doctor while gesturing to his own head, silently questioning if Doctor Gou had suffered a brain injury.
He remembered that Doctor Gou wasn't like this in his past impressions.
He was a middle-aged man with a stubbly face who had surrendered to reality under the baptism of life.
How did he suddenly change like this?
It's slightly mad.
And a bit like M...
This scared him a bit. He treated Doctor Gou like a brother. If his brother became paralyzed, Chen Miao would definitely take care of him for life without a second thought. But if his brother suddenly turned into M, then he had to consider if he really needed this brother.
Seeing Chen Miao's inquiring gaze, the Black Doctor opened and closed his mouth helplessly a few times before he whispered, "Miao, I'm a surgeon, I don't understand this."
It was indeed intriguing that someone with a Lifestyle Occupation would flee to Broken Pot City.
After all, typically, only when the Enforcement Bureau deemed a Supernatural's capture to have too high of a casualty rate would they let the fugitive escape into Broken Pot City. As for those with a Lifestyle Occupation who almost have no means of resistance—
If their crimes were serious, they were killed on the spot.
If their crimes were minor, they were arrested right there.
There was no chance to flee, and escaping was futile against the violent institution built by the Federation.
"Him?"
Doctor Gou, lying in the hospital bed, chuckled sarcastically, "No need to ask; I already know it must have been because of some woman. This guy is a loyal lackey, but a ruthless one. He buried his goddess in a river."
"Quite the ruthless fellow."
"..."
The Black Doctor's expression remained unflustered; his mouth opened and closed slightly, then he briefly recounted, "Once, when I returned home, there were some men causing trouble. My father kept kowtowing alongside, and later, I stabbed those men to death with a knife."
"Then I took some money from home, and before the incident became known, I ran away."
"It's been 11 years since then."
"11 years?"
Chen Miao was slightly astonished, "How old are you today?"
"24."
"Good lord... you sure were strong for a little guy back then. Haven't you been in contact with your father since?"
"No."
"Which city are you originally from?"
"Fengtian City."
"Fengtian City? I'm familiar with that place. What's your real name? I'll check and see what the situation was with your warrant back then. It should have been considered self-defense, right?"
After a brief hesitation, the Black Doctor finally spoke up, "Zhao Lingtian."
...
Chen Miao didn't dally and immediately sent a message to Zhou Shen, who was outside of Broken Pot City. In less than fifteen minutes, he had obtained the case file from that year's incident.
Hmm.
After reviewing the case file, he rubbed his nose and somewhat regretted why he had decided to check the case file for the Black Doctor.
