The village beauty and me!

Chairman Xu's sudden appearance brought a ray of hope to Chen Huan and Huang Yanyan's otherwise bleak future.

Chen Huan was overjoyed; she had never imagined that Chairman Xu held such a high position in her heart.

They couldn't help but offer a few flattering words.

Huang Peiyun seemed prepared to cooperate obediently.

So he asked Chen Huan in detail about the patient's information.

When I asked, he was calm and composed, appearing willing to help.

After getting the name, his eyebrows furrowed again.

She abruptly stopped in her tracks, staring intently at Chen Huan, and asked, "You're not joking, are you?"

"Are you looking for that girl who likes to eat insects and swallow small animals whole?"

"Huh?" Chen Huan was stunned after hearing this.

"Girls who eat insects and small animals, are they really that outrageous?"

He had only gotten some general information from Li Saifeng before, but he never imagined that the relative of the person in charge of the waterworks would have such a strange disease.

Eating insects is a common practice across China and even in many parts of the world.

But usually it's cooked, how could it be eaten raw?

The menu also included rats and snakes, which was really scary.

Isn't this just like the Five Poisons Cult in the movie?

Chairman Xu was also taken aback for a moment after hearing this. "Are you talking about that girl named Liang Xiaojing?"

"I had studied her symptoms before, but I had no clue what to do."

Huang Peiyun nodded immediately, "It's her, so I think we still need to consider this matter carefully."

Huang Peiyun was having second thoughts.

Moreover, Chairman Xu actually agreed with Huang Peiyun's idea at this time. He frowned slightly and said to Chen Huan, "Liang Xiaojing's situation is not as simple as just liking to swallow live animals."

"I always felt that this girl was a little... "

Chairman Xu looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Huang Peiyun simply added from the side, "It's a bit strange. His mental state is obviously abnormal, and he's somewhat different from ordinary mental patients."

"This is definitely one of the rarest cases we've ever had at our sanatorium."

As the other person's story became increasingly bizarre, Chen Huan not only didn't feel embarrassed or nervous, but instead became even more interested.

A meaningful expression appeared on his face, and he muttered under his breath, "Possessed by an evil spirit?"

"Why are there so many people being possessed lately?"

Huang Peiyun frowned and asked, "What did you just say?"

Chen Huan smiled and said, "It's nothing."

  

"I'm particularly interested in that female patient named Liang Xiaojing now."

"Moreover, what I'm best at is treating some strange and slightly evil illnesses. With Chairman Xu's help in introducing you, Director Huang, is there anything you're worried about?"

Huang Yanyan, who was standing nearby, finally spoke up, "If anything happens, the Huang family will take responsibility."

Huang Peiyun sighed helplessly, "Since you've already said all this, and you still insist, then I will naturally do my best to help."

"However, we must make it clear beforehand that if it's okay, then it's okay; if it's not okay, then we must not force it. Otherwise, it would be a very irresponsible mistake for both the patient and the nursing home."

Chen Huan readily agreed, and the group continued to the small ward closest to the edge.

On the way, Chairman Xu kept asking Chen Huan how she was doing.

Chen Huan was also curious as to why Chairman Xu was here, so he simply asked.

Huang Peiyun explained from the side, "President Xu is one of the expert consultants specially hired by our sanatorium, and he holds a very high position here."

President Xu quickly shook his head, "Don't listen to her flattery, it's just a hollow title."

"The main reason is that I am the president of the local medical association. The sanatorium made an exception and gave me a position for the sake of its reputation."

"I came here to visit an old friend today, and I never expected to run into you."

"We really do have a deep connection. Once this matter is settled, we should find a place to have a good drink together."

"You choose, wine or tea."

Chairman Xu's meaning is quite clear: I'm giving you face, so shouldn't you reciprocate in kind?

Chen Huan is no longer the clueless young man who just came out of the village.

He had also learned some things about human relationships and social interactions.

So he immediately replied, "Whether this works out or not, I owe you a favor, and I should treat you to it later."

Chairman Xu agreed with a smile.

A moment later, the group had approached the two-story ward closest to the edge.

Compared to other buildings here, this ward has the lowest floor and, from the outside, there are at most a dozen or so rooms.

Behind it is a smooth, steep mountain wall, and in front is a small square paved with neat stone slabs.

Unlike other ward buildings that are decorated with flowers in front of them or have any entertainment facilities.

The place felt very quiet, even a little shabby and oppressive.

Apart from the two security guards on duty at the entrance, no other people were seen coming or going, making the place seem even more unusual.

Huang Peiyun explained, "The patients in this ward are all in rather special circumstances."

"Normally, security here is at its tightest. I'll need to give you a reason to get in."

President Xu offered a suggestion from the side, "Just say that they are my apprentices, and they are here to make rounds for the patients. I will take responsibility if there are any problems."

Huang Peiyun naturally wouldn't object.

Upon arriving at the gate, use this reason to negotiate with the security personnel.

Because of Chairman Xu's status, and because Huang Peiyun held a certain position in the sanatorium, the security personnel allowed them to enter directly after a simple registration.

However, before Lin Yuan and his group entered, one of the security personnel solemnly reminded them, "This is the first time you two young people have been here. You are unaware of the dangers here."

"So you must stick close to Chairman Xu and Director Huang, and never let curiosity get you into trouble, otherwise it will be very difficult for everyone."

Chen Huan subconsciously agreed.

It's also clear that the security personnel weren't trying to scare anyone.

Upon entering the ward building, the first impression was one of gloom.

Keep in mind that it's broad daylight, the height of summer, and this location on the mountaintop is bathed in perfect sunlight.

The dampness and coldness inside the building is completely unexpected, and it's not caused by the air conditioning; rather, it's more likely due to the location and geographical environment.

Huang Peiyun looked nervous and hurriedly led the way.

As soon as they turned a corner in the first-floor corridor, they suddenly heard a scream coming from the innermost room.

Then came the loud banging against the walls and the door.

Someone shouted, "Liang Xiaojing has gone berserk again! Someone come quick, get some tranquilizers!"
