The weather was fine before lunch, but it suddenly began raining heavily in the afternoon.
Many beastmen had retreated into the arena, planning to spend the time inside and go back when the rain stopped or subsided. But then again, some female beastmen had also instructed their male beasts to fetch their rain wears so quite a few male beastmen ran into the dense curtain of rain.
“QiQi, wait here. I’ll go back and get an umbrella.” Saying this, Tu Jin was about to run into the rain.
“QiQi.” Zheng Shou’s tall figure holding a big black umbrella appeared before them. His clothes were in a disarray with several bloodstains.
“Ah Shou.” Yang QiQi’s heart jumped. She rushed straight into the rain but Zheng Shou came forward and quickly wrapped her body with one arm, resting his big head on her shoulder. Yang QiQi had long been accustomed to Zheng Shou’s roguish behavior. He was exactly the cheerful and optimistic type to throw tantrums and act cute. She had never seen him this worn out and dispirited.
“Ah Shou?” She stroked his head on her shoulders in distress while asking softly, “What’s wrong? Are you injured?”
“No.” Zheng Shou said, sounding miserable. “It’s not my own blood.”
‘It’s good that you aren’t hurt.’ Yang QiQi’s expression relaxed.
“I came from the medical building… I really wanted to see QiQi suddenly. So, here I am.” He pressed against her shoulders a bit more, finally starting to act like a spoiled child. “Can QiQi accompany me to the medical building now?”
“Okay.” She was really worried about his current state. Going to the medical building at this time didn’t seem to be a bad idea. She could also discover why he was in such a mood. Looking back at the four male beastmen standing in the corridor, she gave them a reassuring smile: “I will accompany Ah Shou, you all can go back by yourself when the rain gets lighter, all right?”
The four looked on in silence as the tall Zheng Shou carried the petite female beast and turned around, walking towards the medical building. Even though they had been by her side for these past two months, those two were still the most important ones in her heart. As soon as they appeared, they would snatch away all of her attention and vision. This kind of understanding made them feel frustrated.
“I’ll be wherever she is.” Xu walked out boldly, letting the heavy rain soak him through and through.
Xiang BuChen and Ling Yue silently followed behind.
“Huh? Wait for me ah, I’m going too.” Tu Jin jumped up and rushed into the rain.
“Damn it! There’s no time to play around. This light rain is nothing compared to WanQing City’s Female Warrior XiaoCi’s ‘Silver Dragon’!” Wa Hu waved her hand. “Let’s go, follow laoniang .”
Wa Hu’s Guardian Beasts rushed forward without exception. Not to mention that this was merely rainwater, even if this was a rain of knives, they wouldn’t think twice. As long as their female said “go”, they were ready to go ah. Just… could anyone tell them why she didn’t go back to the guesthouse but ran towards the medical building instead ah?
The other beastmen in the corridor looked at each other in dismay. Some of them had also braved the rain, but they were really going towards the guesthouse.
Yang QiQi visited Qi Ye in the medical building before. This was her second time setting foot here.
Zheng Shou was awfully silent along the way, but he held her arm so forcefully that she began feeling a bit of pain. He carried her to an operating room on the third floor, where four of his patrol team members were waiting with a male curled up against the wall. This male beastman was also injured; he not only had a gauze wrapped around his head but his right arm was also fixed with the cast like Nian JiMo used to wear when his arms were broken.
Even after hearing Zheng Shou’s footsteps, the injured male beastman didn’t move. The four team members, on the other hand, turned their heads in unison. Their eyes lit up. When they were about to greet him, the red light by the door of the operating room lit up.
The surgery was done.
Everyone rushed to the door. The injured male finally raised his head, so Yang QiQi also saw his face. However, that swollen purplish face was too deformed, forgive her for not being able to tell if he was an acquaintance or not.
The door slid open to both sides, and a male beastman in a white coat came out. He looked at the people outside and said solemnly: “Patient no. 273 couldn’t be rescued. His body has been sent directly to the cold room through the special passage. You can go and bid him farewell for the last time.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with repressed grief and indignation, fixated on Yang QiQi.
Of course, the latter had not an inkling of what was going on. So she was even more confused by the accusatory look of the ‘angel in white’.
She merely knew that a beastman died in the operation theatre just now, and had just been sent to a ‘cold room’ that seemed to have the same function as a ‘mortuary’ in her previous world. But why would he look at her like that? She didn’t kill that patient. Furthermore, till now, she was unclear whether she was acquainted with the dead person or not.
“She’s not Female Warrior Li Yuan.” Naturally, Zheng Shou could feel the hostility from the doctor. He too, couldn’t help but glare back viciously.
“I know she’s not.”
As a doctor of Han City’s medical building, he naturally knew which person was Female Warrior Yang QiQi. She was also a well-known figure in the city. Although he knew that this matter has nothing to do with Yang QiQi and that this anger was unreasonable, he couldn’t restrain himself. After going through too many such things in the hospital, especially after suturing patient number 273’s broken body, he just instinctively found a target to vent his anger.
