Chapter 571 White Ruins
Su Wan raised her hand and gently straightened the slightly disheveled hem of her trench coat. The tenderness and passion from before had faded, and she returned to being the cool and capable department head. However, the blush on the tips of her ears could not hide the passion she had just felt.
"I've lingered here long enough; I need to go inspect other areas."
Lin Feng nodded: "Yes, work comes first."
Su Wan stepped forward and gently poked Lin Feng's forehead with her slender fingertips:
"No more privately hiring nurses for massages, do you hear me?"
Lin Feng's head tilted back slightly from her poking, and he blinked, giving her a wronged look:
"How can their flickering light, like fireflies, compare to the bright moon like Section Chief Su?"
"With Section Chief Su's personal care and punishment, their methods just seem bland, ineffective, and not worth mentioning."
Su Wan smiled slightly at his words: "You're so glib."
She paused, her gaze falling on his open collar.
"Alright, remember to protect yourself. If all else fails, use your money."
Lin Feng thought to himself: Just now she was punishing me for using my money, but now she's letting me use it as I please. Women are so unpredictable!
What came out of his mouth was: "Understood, Section Chief Su."
Su Wan took one last look at him, opened the door, and walked out.
Outside the door, Ah Ying and Ah Que both peered in.
Lin Feng caught a glimpse of the four bright, sparkling eyes outside the door, and immediately switched into acting mode. He slumped onto the bed, frowned, clutched his chest with his right hand, and groaned through gritted teeth.
"Ouch...that hurts...Section Chief Su was too rough..."
Ah Ying gasped, "Sister Wan! You went way too far!"
"We're counting on his coconut latte to keep us going! If you electrocute him, who's going to make us coffee?!"
Ah Que nodded frantically beside her, her face filled with heartache.
Su Wan rolled her eyes at them, crossed her arms, and said, "Enough with the nonsense. Let's go."
Vassim glanced at Lin Feng, who was groaning on the hospital bed, and then at the faint blush on Su Wan's cheeks, and instantly guessed what was going on.
This is hardly a severe punishment; it's just the young couple flirting in private.
He wisely kept quiet until the three women's footsteps completely disappeared at the end of the corridor before turning and entering the ward. He closed the door behind him, walked to the bedside, sat down, and patted Lin Feng's shoulder lightly.
"Alright, alright, everyone's gone. Stop putting on this show."
Lin Feng finally let out a long breath, his whole body relaxed, and a frank smile spread across his face:
"As expected of a criminal investigator, nothing escapes your keen eye."
Wasim scoffed and didn't respond to the question.
He twisted his neck, his cervical spine making two crisp cracking sounds, then leaned back against the headboard and rubbed the back of his neck.
"My neck is still a bit sore... Should I... call two more nurses over?"
Lin Feng immediately waved his hand: "No, no, I just promised Section Chief Su that I would never ask a nurse for a massage again, and I have to keep my word."
Wasim nodded with some regret, then reached out and slowly pressed the call button on the bedside table.
Ding-dong-
The call was connected at the nurses' station.
Wasim spoke into the intercom, "Hello, could you please have Nurse Xiaoli come over again? The neck and shoulder massage from earlier hasn't finished yet."
Lin Feng frowned deeply: "Brother, isn't this a bit much?"
Wasim turned his head and looked at Lin Feng:
"You just said it yourself, that we deserve these."
"You even told me to be more confident, saying we must have saved the galaxy in our past lives."
"What, it's unreasonable for me to enjoy it all by myself?"
Lin Feng: "..."
He opened his mouth, only to find that he couldn't refute it.

Studio.
"Hahahaha, that makes sense, but it's not right for you to eat alone in front of your brothers!"
"If it were me, I'd smack my lips while eating, it'd be so disgusting."
"Hahaha, Brother Feng, you've finally met your match!"
"Now you know the downsides of bringing your wife into a dungeon, right? She's all over the place, controlling everything, even giving massages. Section Chief Su is absolutely possessive."
"Hilarious! They just finished showing off their love, and then their brother betrayed them!"
"In the end, money power only benefited Wasim, hahaha."
........................
Yongshan Hospital, Director's Office.
For the entire morning, Bai Xu (the older brother of the bandaged ghost Bai Chan) kept appealing.
Relying on his unique ability to empathize with lingering resentments, he was 100% certain that his younger brother, Bai Chan, had died at Su Wan's hands.
However, the hospital's surveillance footage was cold and rigid, clearly showing that Bai Chan and Lao Zhou went into the bathroom together that day and never came out again.
During that time, Su Wan stayed in office 312 and did not leave for a moment.
There were no eyewitnesses, no signs of a struggle, and no substantial evidence.
Faced with his repeated accusations, the hospital's senior management remained indifferent and impatient, eventually concluding that he was making unfounded accusations and maliciously speculating about senior management personnel within the hospital.
After several perfunctory rebuttals, he was forcibly expelled from the office.
"Get out! If you dare to spread rumors or falsely accuse your department head again, you'll be dealt with by vigilante justice within the hospital!"
Bai Xu's last shred of hope for justice was utterly shattered.
He stood at the end of the corridor, his back against the cold wall, his cloudy eyes completely filled with resentment and hostility.
One of the fluorescent light tubes in the corridor was broken, and the remaining one flickered, casting a long and distorted shadow on him.
He knew that Su Wan was an S-level monster, while he was only an A-level monster. If they fought head-on, he would surely die.
The hospital's rules are corrupt and biased, and will never uphold justice for the death of a lowly bandaged ghost.
Since the rules are unfair and there is no way to seek justice, he will take revenge himself.
A short, gray-white blade gleaming with a deathly cold light slowly emerged from Bai Xu's palm. It was the Soul-Severing Bone Blade, forged from the essence of countless unjustly killed and bizarre beings.
The blade was pale and slightly curved, the bone surface was smooth, and fine cracks could be vaguely seen, which were patterns formed by the resentment of the soul.
He gripped the knife handle tightly, the blade pressed against his palm, the coldness causing the veins in his entire arm to constrict.
This blade ignores physical defenses and targets the origins of strange souls.
Even an S-rank powerhouse would suffer a sharp drop in cultivation and damage to their very essence if their soul was slashed; three strikes could completely obliterate their soul.
But the blade can only be used three times.
After three times, it vanished into thin air.
He only has one chance.
Unable to defeat them head-on, they resorted to killing them.
Bai Xu sheathed his bone blade and went to a restroom stall on the third floor of the administration building, locking the door from the inside.
The air blowing in from the vents carried the stench of sewage, and as he inhaled this smell, he gradually cleared his mind.
Possessed by a spirit.
This is his most treasured skill.
It can only invade the body when the target is relaxed, and after possession, the appearance and tone of voice will not change much, making it difficult for others to recognize.
However, the drawback is that it cannot occupy another person's body for a long time, at most ten minutes.
Ten minutes was enough to seal a victory...
