NOVEL NEXT Chapter 96
Arc 5 – Deadly Thief
Chapter 96
In the early morning of March 22, 3021, Ling Hua’an and Jiang Chengyan listened to the news while eating breakfast.
“Yesterday, a VB article titled ‘Return My Organ’ broke the internet. It is said that a patient in a municipal hospital was confirmed to have died a few days ago. His parents suspected the cause of his death and asked the forensic doctor to intervene. During the autopsy, the forensic doctor found that One of the patient’s kidneys was missing, and the cause of death was not due to illness but was poisoned. Now the criminal investigation team has been involved in the investigation, and the suspected target is Zhang Wei, a cardiac surgeon at the Municipal Hospital…”
Hearing this, Jiang Chengyan’s face suddenly became ugly. He took out his mobile phone and started to search for news, and then a call from Li Tong came.
“Captain, it’s not good. Have you seen the news? Ma Donghai posted the truth about Ma Xiaohan’s death on the Internet, causing an uproar. Now, Zhang Wei’s information has been exposed to the public. He and Liu Meijuan’s information has also been posted on the Internet. Many netizens have left messages on the Internet, asking Liu Meijuan to return Ma Xiaohan’s kidney. What’s more troublesome is that the gate of the municipal hospital was blocked, saying the hospital was doing human trafficking. Also, many patients who died in the hospital requested an autopsy. The phone of the forensic department was blown up. ”
“I’ve seen the news, I’ll go there right now.”
Jiang Chengyan finished the bowl of porridge quickly, stood up, and said, “Hua’an, I’ll go to the team first.”
Ling Hua’an frowned slightly and asked, “What’s going on? Who disclosed the case information?”
Jiang Chengyan said while putting on his clothes, “It is said that Ma Donghai made a VB article, and the municipal hospital became a mess. The families of many deceased patients requested a forensic autopsy. Hua’an, the impact of this incident is too bad, I must go there immediately.”
“Ma Donghai? Isn’t the case still under investigation? How did he know?”
Jiang Chengyan was stunned and immediately said, “The autopsy report was indeed shown to Ma Donghai, but he didn’t know how far the case had gone and never told him about the suspicions about Zhang Wei, so how did he know?”
“It’s better for you to make sure if Ma Donghai himself made the VB article.”
“Okay, I’ll go to work first. See you in the evening.” Jiang Chengyan took a few steps to Ling Hua’an’s side and kissed him on the lip. Then he turned and walked out of the door.
Ling Hua’an raised the corner of her mouth and continued to eat breakfast. After breakfast and cleaning up, Ling Hua’an went out and released Ma Xiaohan.
“Uncle, that bell is too small. Can I stay outside instead?” Ma Xiaohan followed Ling Huaan into the taxi and looked at him aggrieved.
“Can not.” Although Ma Xiaohan’s resentment is weak, he is still a ghost with heavy yin energy. It doesn’t matter with Ling Hua’an, who has a special physique, but not Jiang Chengyan. Not to mention that they’re always doing stuff that is not suitable for children. It was inconvenient to have a ghost beside him. Moreover, he was still a kid.
“What’s the inconvenience? Didn’t Uncle say that you wanted me to be your eyes?” Ma Xiaohan’s face wrinkled into a steamed bun.
“When I need you, I will let you out.”
“Uncle, it’s called unloading and killing a donkey1! ”
“To kill the donkey when the grinding is done? Do you understand what this idiom means?”
Ling Hua’an’s words couldn’t be suppressed, which led the taxi driver to look at the rearview mirror frequently. When he saw the headphones stuffed in his ears, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Ma Xiaohan didn’t dare to lose his temper at Ling Hua’an. He grinned at the taxi driver and said, “What are you looking at? Drive your car well.”
Ling Hua’an said in amusement, “Do you know which idiom you should use for your current behavior?”
Ma Xiaohan’s small mouth pouted and said, “Hmph, uncle is bullying people with his power!”
Ling Hua’an was amused by Ma Xiaohan and laughed lightly, “Yeah, I’m a bully. What can you do?”
“Hmph, I’m ignoring you!” Ma Xiaohan turned around angrily and turned his back on Ling Hua’an.
Ling Hua’an still wanted to speak but was interrupted by the driver, saying, “Sir, the municipal hospital is here.”
“How much is it?” Ling Hua’an took his wallet out of his pocket. The driver looked at the faremeter and said truthfully, “28.”
Although Ma Xiaohan was still angry, he always remembered his task. He glanced at the parameter and said, “He didn’t lie; it shows 28 yuan.”
Ling Hua’an opened the wallet and paused deliberately, “There are three ten yuan in the wallet. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th from the outside.”
Ling Hua’an took out the money as he said and handed it to the taxi driver, “sir, here your money.”
The driver took the money, took out two coins from his wallet, and handed them to Ling Hua’an, “Here is your change.”
Seeing Ling Hua’an raising his hand to touch it, the driver realized something was wrong with him. He held Ling Hua’an’s wrist a little embarrassedly, shoved the coin into his palm, and said, “Sorry, I didn’t know your eyes can’t see. Here are two coins. Take it.”
Ling Hua’an put the coin into his wallet, smiled, and said, “It’s okay, thank you, sir. Goodbye.”
“You get off slowly and be safe. Forget it. I’ll help you get off.”
Without waiting for Ling Hua’an to stop him, the driver got out of the car, opened the rear door, and reached out to help Ling Hua’an.
Ling Hua’an got out of the car and thanked the driver before turning around and heading towards the municipal hospital. The gate was noisy. Even if he can’t see, he can understand the situation by listening to the sound.
“Huh, why are there so many people in front of the hospital?” Ma Xiaohan blinked his big eyes in confusion.
“It’s because of you.” Ling Hua’an’s footsteps did not stop as he continued to walk towards the entrance.
“Because of me?” Ma Xiaohan’s eyes become more suspicious.
“I’m afraid that everyone already knows about you.” Ling Hua’an looked up in the direction of the hospital and suddenly stopped as if shrouded in powerful energy.
Seeing Ling Hua’an’s expression was not right, Ma Xiaohan curiously asked, “Uncle, what’s wrong with you?”
Ling Hua’an shook his head, continued walking, and said, “It’s okay, let’s go in.”
“Hey hey hey, young man, are you going into the hospital to see a doctor?” An old man stopped at Ling Hua’an.
Ling Hua’an was stunned and replied, “No, I’m going to visit a patient.”
“Young man, haven’t you heard that this hospital is short of morality and is engaged in the business of buying and selling human organs? You also advised the patient you visited to transfer to another hospital.”
“Yes, yes, it’s all spread on the Internet. It’s said that… What’s the name of that seven or eight-year-old child?”
Translated by Cafe No. 20 – cafeno20.wordpress.com
“It’s called Ma Xiaohan. That child was not yet eight years old and was killed by someone. Those murderous doctors killed a life for a kidney, really sinful, ah!”
“Yes, people say doctors are angels who save people’s lives, but now they have become demons who kill people. My aunt passed away in this hospital two days ago. I don’t know if it’s the same as Ma Xiaohan. She is already dead. We can’t keep her body here.”
“This hospital is too shady. We can’t just let it go. We must draw the government’s attention!”
“Yes, yes, we can’t just let it go. Today, it’s Ma Xiaohan. Maybe tomorrow, it’s us. We must draw the attention of the government. Otherwise, who would dare go to the hospital to see a doctor?
Ling Hua’an looked around and found that these people were entwined with traces of resentment. This resentment would not hurt people but would be used by resentful ghosts as their best supplement. It is common for ordinary people to have resentment, but it is very rare to form an energy like this. Since the bad feeling just now, Ling Hua’an is sure someone is messing with it.
Ling Hua’an smiled politely and said, “Sorry, I must see a patient. Please give way. I’m blind; please don’t bump into me.”
Although the crowd did not want Ling Hua’an to go in, they still made way for him in the end.
Ling Hua’an smoothly passed through the crowd and entered the hospital gate. Under the guidance of Ma Xiaohan, one person and one ghost walked towards the ward building.
“Uncle, are they telling the truth? Was my kidney stolen? ”
Ling Hua’an nodded and said, “En, the autopsy report issued by the medical examiner is written like it.”
“Then how did I die?” Ma Xiaohan’s face is not angry or sad but surprisingly calm.
“The inference from the police station is that someone mixed foxglove into your injection. They poisoned you and led you to death. The symptoms are no different from your heart attack, so the doctor has no doubt.” Ling Hua’an has no intention to hide.
“Who is the murderer? What did he take my kidney for? It is really for money like they said?” Ma Xiaohan still had no anger on his face, only full of confusion.
Ling Hua’an asked instead of answering, “Ma Xiaohan, why aren’t you angry or upset at all?”
“Although I haven’t recovered my memory, I can still recall some pictures. I was in the hospital for IV drips or taking medicine, and it felt very painful. Uncle, I’m actually very afraid of pain.”
Although Ma Xiaohan did not say it very clearly, Ling Hua’an still heard his underlying meaning. He could not help but sigh, “Xiaohan, everyone born in this world will encounter various suffering, whether they are sick, poor, or lonely. But this can’t be why we give up life, because it’s too valuable. Do you know that many people can’t even ask for it? Do you understand?”
Ma Xiaohan blushed and lowered his head, saying, “Uncle, I’ll remember your words.”
“No matter how many hardships the culprit has, it cannot be a reason to murder you. So when he sows evil causes, it’s destined for him to bear evil reap, and what awaits him will eventually be judgment.”
Ma Xiaohan nodded and said, “Uncle, I know, I will be a good person in the future.”
The two don’t talk anymore and take the elevator directly to Yan Yu’s ward.
Ling Hua’an raised his hand and knocked on the door. Immediately afterward, he heard someone answering and it was Sister Zhang’s voice.
“Mr. Ling is here, come in.”
“Zhang-jie.” Ling Hua’an greeted him with a smile.
“Hua’an, why are you here?” Yan Yu’s voice was filled with concern and disapproval.
“I’ve come to see you. Don’t worry, my injuries are almost healed.”
Sister Zhang picked up her handbag and said with a smile, “Yan Yu, Mr. Ling, you guys talk, I’ll go buy some fruit.”
Sister Zhang turned around and walked out of the ward, Ma Xiaohan also playfully wanted to follow, but was stopped by Ling Hua’an, saying, “Stay here. Do not go anywhere.”
“I’ll just walk around in the hospital and promise to be back soon.” Ma Xiaohan begged.

“No, this hospital is not the same as usual, I can’t guarantee your safety if you run around.”
“Different? What’s different?” Ma Xiaohan asked curiously.
Ling Hua’an ignored him, looked at Yan Yu and asked, “How is your injury? What did the doctor say?
“The doctor said that the recovery is very good. I need to stay a little bit before going home to recuperate.”
Ling Hua’an warned, “Take the pendant I gave you carefully, and don’t take it off from your body, okay?”
“Hua’an, what happened to this hospital? What did you find?”
