Chapter 748: The Sanatorium Is Full of Fun 33

~7 min read 1,318 words

Jin Chen's eyes went dark; he could not see the future of the Tea Spirit Organization.

"So you… used borrowed miscellaneous medicines, synthesized them into a pill, gave it to Yi Fei An to take, saying it could treat his heart??"

"What kind of clear soup, Old Master!"

"The effect is remarkable, Prince."

When mentioning this patient, Jiang Qiu immediately straightened up, saying, "You don't know he fell asleep after taking my medicine, and when he woke up he already had no sense of pain!"

Jin Chen glanced at the several bottles of medicine on the table, giving a soft chuckle twice.

Half a bottle of sleeping pills mixed with a whole bottle of anesthetic.

Plus a heap of miscellaneous pills.

Yi Fei An can't even talk about feeling no pain; just being alive is a miracle.

"You… don't do any more research from now on."

"Those so-called foreign experts are all imperial physicians I recruited; their medical skills are superior to yours."

Jiang Qiu was puzzled and dissatisfied.

"Now we don't need to fight wars anymore; I, aware of my deep sins, can only rely on medical skills to make a slight amends."

"But Prince, you won't let me do research now; what will I do in the future?"

Jin Chen was extremely cold-hearted and ruthless.

"If that's the case, why not go to the beach and count sand to atone?"

He patted Jiang Qiu's shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Even if my power is great, I am ultimately not the Emperor."

"Some things cannot be decided by oneself, but you have followed me for so long. Ah, if I want to protect you, this is the safest plan."

"When you figure out counting this sand, perhaps the Emperor might spare your life."

【You're also a clear-steamed big old master…】0731 complaint.

Jiang Qiu felt moved to the point of reddening his eye sockets.

He nodded firmly, clasped his fists in salute.

"I, the subordinate, obey orders! I will not fail the Prince's trust!"

Having said that, he flicked his sleeve and ran off to count sand.

Jin Chen, Youyou glanced inside the door; his view showed no problem, and he didn't know if there was a hidden compartment.

He looked toward Jiang Qiu's retreating back as he had already run out, confirmed the corridor was empty, then hurried inside and closed the door.

The smell of inferior chemicals in the room made Jin Chen dizzy; he temporarily blocked his sense of smell and continued investigating.

Jiang Qiu's room had no clues at all.

Moreover, there was nothing like the records he and Bai Wenran made after regaining consciousness.

Therefore, Jiang Qiu had never briefly regained consciousness before.

Jin Chen gazed at the pile of bottles and jars on the table, lost in thought.

Now all the unfavorable evidence points to Jiang Qiu.

But this person is surprisingly clean.

When things go awry, there must be something supernatural.

As for Jiang Qiu, even if he is not a traitor, he surely has his own secret.

At that moment, inside the meeting room.

"What did you say? Recruit volunteers?"

Sheng Jiping's reaction was very strong.

He sat in the chief seat, waving his hands repeatedly.

"No, I disagree."

"Now the sanatorium's staff is already more than enough; there are only five patients total, with two doctors assigned, and each person also has a Nurse Team."

"We don't need any volunteers."

Qiao Qing didn't know what he was thinking; his probing gaze swept over Shen Yan and Chu Ling, then he lowered his eyes and tapped the table.

"Tell us your thoughts."

This time, Qiao Qing surprisingly did not immediately oppose them.

Shen Yan felt somewhat surprised, and following his prepared explanation, he said, "Their five conditions are very special; each time we test, we can detect bodily abnormalities."

"Although I don't know the cause, I can feel their vitality constantly declining."

He adjusted his glasses, clearly seeing a fleeting unnatural expression on Sheng Jiping's face.

"We could recruit a batch of volunteers who are very knowledgeable about treating mental illness and physical symptoms, paying them by the day, in order to gradually understand the specific conditions of these five people."

Chu Ling also said, "I can't take responsibility for these five people; their condition is too severe. I remember when we signed the contract, Dean Sheng assured us there would be no major problems."

He has a short temper, and right now he doesn't have a good tone.

"I think the problem is serious; if Dean Sheng dares not to recruit volunteers, I would suspect your motives."

Qiao Qing slammed the table hard, "What nonsense are you all spouting?"

"The patients are just ordinary patients; if you yourselves want to recruit volunteers, why go about it this way?"

He emphasized those two words.

Sheng Jiping's eyes brightened slightly, and he suddenly said, "If we want to recruit volunteers, that's not impossible, but it must be entirely under my supervision; you are not allowed to interfere."

Shen Yan's eyebrows twitched slightly; he glanced at Qiao Qing, was about to meet his gaze but then looked away, nodding in agreement.

"Fine, then I'll trouble the Dean."

He and Chu Ling exchanged glances, shaking their heads slightly.

We can't probe any further.

Chu Ling understood, and didn't say anything more.

Anyway, they always have a way to get their own people in.

Thus, by noon each nurse already knew that volunteers would come in a few days.

Finally someone could share their burden, without worrying about long-term workers taking their jobs; the nurses were overjoyed.

The turmoil in the sanatorium these past few days also temporarily subsided.

Regarding Jin Chen and Shen Yan's increasingly close relationship, Sheng Jiping saw it but did not intervene.

Anyway, he's just an ordinary doctor; if the second E-crystal really is inside Jin Chen, we can just dig it out and kill the two of them together—nothing to fear.

Jin Chen told Shen Yan about the things in Jiang Qiu's room; learning there was nothing secret, Shen Yan, though doubtful, temporarily refrained from acting rashly.

"My people have already thought of a way to sneak in; when the time comes, if we can get the medicine, we'll figure out how to make them swallow it."

Shen Yan took a sip of coffee, his gaze flicking to the window where the mentally ill were playing, "Let Bai Wenran and Shangguan Hao, who have the smallest grudges, take it first."

Jin Chen had no objection.

He wrapped his arms around Shen Yan's waist from behind, lowered his head and gently rubbed, "Wife, do you think Qiao Qing has a problem?"

Shen Yan, who had been pondering this, slightly raised his eyebrows, turned and leaned against the windowsill to look at Jin Chen.

"You also suspect him."

After receiving Jin Chen's affirmative reply, he set down his coffee cup, spread his hands and rested them on the windowsill, "At today's meeting, although he refuted my proposal, he inadvertently caused Sheng Jiping to agree to recruit volunteers."

It's just too subtle; if you don't pay close attention, it's hard to notice.

Jin Chen hummed again, "Before Sheng Jiping made that phone call, he had secretly talked with Qiao Qing."

"Qiao Qing described the location of their keys in too much detail; it doesn't seem like a conversation with an insider, but rather as if he were deliberately telling someone."

At that time he already had some suspicions; today's events only confirmed this guess.

Shen Yan was somewhat surprised, "Back then, were you the only one eavesdropping? Or was someone else there too?"

"I'm not sure." Jin Chen shook his head, "But I think Qiao Qing still doesn't know I've regained my sanity."

If it was meant for someone else to hear, who would that person be?

Is it that mysterious person from Black Rock, or some other member?

The truth might soon surface.
