After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 243 is all an act; we're all the same.

No, hold on!
Qin Che took a deep breath.

"So what are we doing now?"

If he still doesn't know, he might really lose his temper and hit someone.

Even though I might not be able to beat them!
Fortunately, Jiang Hanying gave a different answer this time: "Let's try our luck."

Qin Che: "..."

This answer isn't much better than the previous "I don't know"!

"Let go!" Jiang Hanying slapped Qin Che's hand away from her sleeve. "If you don't want to be with me, then stay here."

As long as we don't interfere with her trying her luck!

Qin Che couldn't help but rub his hand, which had been slapped. Seeing that Jiang Hanying was really continuing to stride forward without any intention of paying attention to him, he quickly followed her like a little wife.

He stopped abruptly when he passed a doorway with a toilet sign. "Excuse me, could you wait a minute while I use the restroom? Just one minute!"

During a previous so-called home visit, he drank the entire glass of water they asked for in one gulp.

Now, the urge to urinate is coming on, and it's incredibly strong!
"So much trouble!" Jiang Hanying complained, but then stopped in her tracks.

Actually, she was getting a little annoyed by wandering around like a headless fly, and her patience was gradually running out.

Apart from the two people we met at the beginning, there wasn't a single person in this godforsaken place who was conscious.

If she had known, she should have just grabbed those two people and questioned them directly; she might have gotten some useful clues.

Hindsight is always 20/20!
Just as she was thinking about whether to do the opposite of what she had done before and deliberately make a noise to attract people's attention, a short scream suddenly came from the toilet behind her.

Looking up at the motion-activated lights that lit up one after another above her head, Jiang Hanying was speechless.

Well, now there's no need to hesitate anymore, someone has already put her plan into action!
Wait a minute, that voice just now didn't sound like Qin Che's.

Jiang Hanying turned around and stepped into the men's restroom.

Following the noticeably unsteady breathing, she walked without stopping past the sink in the outer room and went straight to a small stall at the very back of the restroom. She shone the flashlight from her phone forward and saw two overlapping figures.

He quickly observed their postures for a second, then asked, "What are you doing?"

Qin Che was still holding the person in front of him with one hand covering their mouth and the other hand pulling up their pants. Hearing the sound, he turned his head with difficulty and said, "Sorry, I didn't realize there was someone in this toilet at first."

By the time they realized it, it was too late!

The two of them suddenly made eye contact.

Even though he rushed over and covered the man's mouth before he had even pulled up his pants properly, the man still managed to make a sound!

"Those who needed to be alerted have already been alerted, what's the point of still covering his mouth?"

Qin Che felt a chill in his heart and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the restroom entrance. He saw that the corridor was already brightly lit, and someone might arrive soon.

"Feel sorry!"

Jiang Hanying looked into the eyes of the man whose mouth she had covered. He was still staring wide-eyed with a look of surprise and confusion, but her intuition told her that he was faking it!
"Let go of his mouth."

"Can……"

"Pull up your pants first."

Qin Che: "..."

His ears turned bright red and burning hot as he released his grip and turned around to straighten his pants.

Jiang Hanying waved to the man who had regained his freedom in the cubicle, "Come out."

The man immediately flinched.

"fear me?"

nod.

"I'll say it again, come out!"

The man then took small steps forward, approached Jiang Hanying, and whispered, "Doctor."

Now that they were closer, Jiang Hanying noticed an embroidered number on the chest of his wrinkled clothes and casually read it out: "1033?" "Here."

What are you doing in the toilet?

Qin Che had just straightened his pants and turned around when he heard Jiang Hanying's question, and his expression immediately became indescribable.

What else can you do in the toilet?
"You want to run away?"

The man's shoulders jerked suddenly.

Qin Che was also taken aback and suddenly looked at the man's face.

He always thought this man was an idiot.

After all, this is a mental hospital, and the man is probably wearing a hospital gown or something similar.

But would a fool think of running away?
Only normal people locked up in mental hospitals would do that!
Moreover, the thunderstorm is a great help; once they manage to escape, the heavy rain will help wash away all traces.

"You're not stupid?"

The man's bewildered expression vanished, his eyes no longer darting around. He looked up at the man and woman in white coats in front of him, and his entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change. "You two aren't doctors, are you?"

This is considered the default.

Jiang Hanying readily nodded, "Likewise."

On one side is someone pretending to be mentally ill, and on the other side is someone pretending to be a doctor. They're evenly matched, so neither should laugh at the other.

“Perfect timing, I’d like to ask you about someone.” With the thought that ‘what if this person happens to know?’ in mind, Jiang Hanying asked very directly, “A woman, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, who was sent here about a year ago. She might be mentally ill or a normal person like you. Do you remember her?”

Qin Che had been staring at the man until he heard Jiang Hanying's words, at which point he suddenly turned to look at her.

He had been following the live stream of "Absolute Experience" and naturally knew about Xiao Ruyi's situation.

This includes the fact that Xiao Ruyi used to have a mother with mental health issues.

Thinking back on Jiang Hanying's actions that night—first visiting Xiao Ruyi's adoptive parents' home, and then coming to this place called Linshan Mental Hospital—he finally pieced together the man's purpose.

"Are you looking for Xiao Ruyi's biological mother?"

Jiang Hanying glanced at him, "Nonsense!"

Otherwise, why would she come all this way here instead of staying at the hotel to get a good night's sleep?

Qin Che was immediately overwhelmed with shock.

Could it be that all the information given by Xiaoruyi's adoptive parents was false?
No, it can't be said to be fake. The adoption is real, and it's also possible that Xiao Ruyi's biological mother was sent to a mental hospital.

But what if Xiao Ruyi's biological mother wasn't actually insane?
The series of events that followed, upon closer examination, are rather chilling.

Qin Che was shocked. Seeing this, the man knew that the key to the two young people who had sneaked in disguised as doctors was this girl.

"What benefit would I get if I told you?"

Jiang Hanying's eyes lit up. "Weren't you planning to escape? I'll take you with me when we leave."

man:"……"

You make it sound so easy!
However, it does take some skill to get to this floor without alerting the security guards.

Since things have come to this point, we might as well take a gamble.

Thinking of this, he began, "I..."

"somebody is coming."

The man immediately shut his mouth again, which was unsurprisingly caused by his scream earlier.

If he had known it was a fake doctor, he wouldn't have shouted that on purpose.

However, there is still a chance to make amends.

"Don't show yourselves yet, let me try!"

He's a professional at playing dumb!
