Chapter 57 : Why Is It Always Related to Women?

This place was the Bureau Archives Company. Following the address, Qin Luo arrived on the sixth floor and knocked on the door in front of him.

The door was opened by a middle-aged woman, slightly plump, with an air of refined elegance in her gestures and a face that spoke of wealth.

Seeing the young man and woman before her, the middle-aged woman asked with some confusion, “Who are you?”

Bai Jingyu showed her ID card. “I’m the chief physician at the First Municipal Hospital, Bai Jingyu.”

After seeing the ID card, a joyful expression appeared on the middle-aged woman’s face. She invited Qin Luo and Bai Jingyu inside. “Come in, please. I’m so sorry—I didn’t expect Dr. Ban to be so young and beautiful.”

She had called the First Municipal Hospital, and they arrived faster than she expected. Moreover, this woman was stunning—great figure, and honestly the most beautiful person she had ever seen.

Qin Luo swept his gaze around the room. He’d thought he would be blinded by some nouveau riche vibe, but it turned out the place was pretty similar to his own home.

“Excuse me, ma’am, where is the patient?” Qin Luo asked directly.

“And you are?”

The middle-aged woman frowned. Dr. Ban’s age was acceptable, but this guy—he was way too young. You could even see some immaturity on his face. Was he even an adult?

Especially when she noticed a faint trace of red at the corner of the young girl’s mouth—being a woman, she instantly recognized that shade. It was exactly the same lipstick color as Dr. Ban’s lips. Her heart skipped a beat.

Bai Jingyu said calmly, “He’s my assistant. He just started learning.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman nodded, though her gaze was still suspicious. ‘Is this guy really a professional doctor?’

Qin Luo understood the doubt in the middle-aged woman’s eyes. He could relate. After all, when he went to see a doctor himself, meeting a young physician would also make him instinctively think the person was unreliable. If it was an older doctor, he wouldn’t worry—that was the experienced type, reliability MAX.

The middle-aged woman led Qin Luo into the bedroom. Even though it was broad daylight, the curtains were drawn, and only the bedside lamp was on, making the room very dim.

A middle-aged man lay on the bed—in short, Zhang Daguo. He was covered with a blanket, his complexion terrible, his eyes weary with heavy dark circles. His eyes were bloodshot and darting around restlessly, as if searching for something, or maybe as if terrified of something.

That look, that demeanor—it was exactly how Qin Luo felt after watching a horror movie: always feeling like something was around him, constantly scanning his surroundings.

“Old Zhang, the doctor is here.”

The middle-aged woman said softly.

When Zhang Daguo saw Qin Luo and Bai Jingyu—especially Bai Jingyu—there was no admiration in his eyes. Instead, they were filled with fear. He shouted excitedly, “Woman! Beautiful woman! Don’t come near me!”

He suddenly grabbed something from the head of the bed and threw it at Bai Jingyu, but due to his weakness, it didn’t go far.

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman quickly removed everything within the man’s reach and said apologetically, “Dr. Ban, I’m so sorry. Are you okay?”

“It’s fine.” Bai Jingyu’s expression was calm. “How long has he had these symptoms?”

“He’s been sick for a long time.”

The middle-aged woman said, “It started yesterday. Last night, when I was resting, he suddenly charged at me, smashed the TV, and kept saying something about a beautiful woman—no, he met a female ghost!”

“This time, he’s scared of a female ghost again. Could it be that he actually saw one?”

Then she watched as Sister approached Zhang Daguo and gave Qin Luo a meaningful glance.

“Lala, I’m coming.”

Qin Luo grabbed the medical bag, trotted over to his sister’s side, and pretended to perform an examination. Even though the props were complete and the medical bag had everything.

Bai Jingyu took out a sedative and injected Zhang Daguo. In a short while, Zhang Daguo’s emotions stabilized considerably.

Zhang Daguo forced a apologetic smile at Qin Luo and Bai Jingyu. “I’m really sorry for scaring you two doctors just now.”

“It’s okay. Talk.”

Bai Jingyu said coldly. Her manner toward Qin Luo was completely different from how she acted now. This was also how she appeared to outsiders—cold and alluring, an iceberg beauty.

“I…”

Zhang Daguo glanced at his wife beside him.

Seeing this, Qin Luo said to the middle-aged woman, “Ma’am, what comes next might involve the patient’s privacy, so please excuse yourself for a moment.”

The middle-aged woman opened her mouth, but in the end didn’t ask. After a moment’s hesitation, she left the bedroom.

“Alright, now it’s just us. You can speak.”

Qin Luo deliberately walked to the door and locked it, ensuring it wouldn’t be suddenly opened midway.

Zhang Daguo said in a low voice, “The night before last, I went out for a meal. The other party was a female friend of mine. After eating, her friend sent me home, but I didn’t go home. Instead, I went to a hotel with her friend.”

Oh ho! An unexpected bonus!

Qin Luo hadn’t expected to get a juicy piece of gossip. No wonder he made his wife leave. If his wife heard about her husband’s affair, she would absolutely explode.

When Bai Jingyu heard this, she cast a glance at her brother beside her.

“!!!”

Qin Luo’s body trembled, and he immediately said in a righteous tone, “Big Sis, I have to say this to you properly. Since you’re married, you can’t have any entanglements with other women. How can you do this to Auntie, huh!”

These words were directed at his sister, expressing his own values of loyalty in love!

“Little brother, you’re right.” Zhang Daguo said regretfully, “If I hadn’t slept with her that night, I wouldn’t have run into this kind of thing.”

Next, Zhang Daguo began to tell the specific details. Of course, not the specific details of what happened at the hotel—that couldn’t be said. Even if he did, it wouldn’t help. Paywall wouldn’t work either; he’d need to change the venue.

After the encounter, Zhang Daguo clutched his lower back, marveling at how skilled that woman was. She actually managed to defeat him, a veteran who had weathered many storms.

And it was after that that he started having dreams.

In the dream, a woman dressed in Daoist robes, letting out a terrifying laugh, walked toward him with a strong presence.

Additionally, he began to say, “Doctor, do you… do you believe in ghosts?”

Of course he did. Qin Luo had even seen quite a few with his own eyes. Unfortunately, he had never met a pretty female ghost.

Otherwise, he would absolutely display the spirit of a great scientist and conduct little experiments to verify whether a female ghost could get pregnant.

After all, as long as you work hard enough, anything is possible…

Zhang Daguo continued on his own, “When my company was about to go bankrupt back then, I heard about a small method and raised a little ghost. Since then, my luck kept coming, and I succeeded with several companies.”

“I fed it one drop of my own blood every ten days. But the day before yesterday, after I fed it a drop of blood, at night, a woman whispered in my ear—‘Hungry… so hungry.’”

Woman, Daoist, female ghost.

Those were three clues.

Qin Luo frowned deeply. This mission… wasn’t simple at all, okay!

As for Bai Jingyu, she remained completely silent, listening quietly. She could also tell that little Luo’s mission might have a chain behind it…

“Looks like I’ll have to talk to Little Aunt tonight and adjust the mission.”
