Chapter 687: Plan

In Kangning’s Hospital men’s bathroom, Li Huowang was panting as he let the cold water from the tap flow down his head.

Ji Zai! You are Ji Zai!

Those words rang again in Li Huowang’s mind as he closed his eyes in pain.

His head hurt as if his brain was bulging outwards. Only the cold water calmed his head down.

Li Huowang raised his head and saw his wet hair. He looked into the mirror and saw his soaked face, which became unfamiliar as time passed.

Who is Ji Zai? I thought Ji Zai was the fake name Zhuge Yuan gave me in the hallucination. Why did he call me that? Unless that world…

Some of his forgotten memories started to resurface. Li Huowang felt a growing pain in his head and ducked under the running water again.

After some time, he raised his head and saw a bizarre scene. The reflection in the mirror did not get up, and he saw how the water was still running down the back of his head.

Li Huowang started to get afraid. Not only was his reflection not following his own body, but the back of his reflection's head had a face! It was his own face. The reflection had faces on both sides of the head!

“AH!” Li Huowang shouted and retreated. When he looked into the mirror again, he saw that his reflection had returned to normal. There was nothing else other than the scared Li Huowang. It was just an illusion.

What’s going on? Is that world real? Then what about here? A strange fear filled his heart as he instinctively wanted to hold something.

He then became angry, and his fear turned into wrath. Fuck! Are they trying to trick me?! They’ve tried doing this so many times! I won’t believe it! I’m not a crazy person or an idiot!

Since Qian Fu had read Yi Donglai’s thesis, it was possible for him to know Ji Zai’s name.

Also, Yi Donglai’s treatment had been successful in preventing Li Huowang’s hallucinations until now. It was clear that whatever he saw just now was merely an illusion.

Li Huowang clenched his right fist and smashed the mirror out of rage. He looked at his reflection shattering and felt better.

What bad luck! I really can’t enter this place too many times. I didn’t manage to solve my problems and I nearly got tricked by Qian Fu!

Li Huowang placed his injured hands under the tap, washing the blood away. He saw the glass and blood flowing out of his wounds and remembered Qian Fu again.

No matter what Qian Fu had called him, Li Huowang still needed his help.

If I save him, he might be the one who could deal with the organization behind my kidnapping.

But should I do it? Li Huowang hesitated. Qian Fu was a patient, and Li Huowang couldn’t determine how much of it was the truth.

Still, no matter how crazy Qian Fu was, those threats were real.

The organization would continue to target him. If Li Huowang did not deal with them soon, he would never be able to find peace.

Will Qian Fu really help me if I rescue him? Or was he lying? Did he lie just so he could escape the hospital?

“Holy shit! What happened to you?!” Someone shouted from his back.

Li Huowang turned around. A janitor was staring at the cracked mirror and Li Huowang’s bloodied hands.

“And how do I know? The quality of the mirrors here is terrible! I was washing my hands when it suddenly exploded!” Li Huowang scolded the janitor.

The mirror exploded and injured the guest’s hands. It was indeed a clever lie and a terrible day for the hospital’s customer service.

Fortunately, bandaging Li Huowang’s hands was a simple task since he was still technically in a hospital. Once his hands were bandaged, he walked out of the hospital with Yang Na. At this point, Li Huowang already made a decision to rescue Qian Fu.

No matter how crazy Qian Fu was, Li Huowang was certain that Qian Fu was still on his side. It was clear that someone had tried to separate them by placing needles in his food last time.

Since the opposing party was trying to separate them, Li Huowang decided to try and ally himself with Qian Fu. There might be some unexpected gains there.

However, helping a patient to escape the hospital was a monumental task. Qian Fu hadn’t killed anyone before, which was a relief.

“Huowang, look! The weather today is so clear! There’s not a single cloud in the sky.”

Li Huowang looked up and saw the clear blue skies. The warm sunlight gently caressed his face and made him feel good.

Li Huowang then thought about how funny the incident in the toilet was. How could this world be fake?

“Yes, today’s weather is so good. Unfortunately, the weather cannot be this good every day.” Li Huowang walked towards the car at the entrance of the hospital.

Even though he didn’t know which organization was monitoring him and why they were doing so, Li Huowang was determined to fight back. Since someone was targeting him, he would bring the fight to them no matter what!

The car started moving. While in the car, Li Huowang was thinking about his identity and how to rescue Qian Fu.

To his knowledge, it was very hard to move a patient without alerting anyone. By the time he reached his neighborhood, he had a good idea.

It was both simple and hard. Since Kangning Hospital was a private hospital, as long as Li Huowang cut off Qian Fu’s source of money to stop his treatment fees, then the hospital would send Qian Fu out.

“Little Li, you’re back back? How was your treatment?” Madam Qi sighed when she saw Li Huowang was back.

Staring at the lady in front of him, he thought about it before he said, “Madam Qi, I need to go to the hospital again.”

“Again? Why?”

“To get medicine. I don’t have a lot left and I might relapse if I don’t take my medicine.”
