I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 1006: Chapter 1005: Strange People

Although Qingyu’s family leader has left, Qingyu’s inheritor disciple Tian Zhi has stayed behind, and no one knows what this truly means.

Gu Haiqing looked somewhat unwell, half-lying on the sofa, while Zhan Hongjun paced back and forth, then said, ”Should we go after her and stop her?”

Le Jiayang took off his headphones, ”How to stop her? Do you know which path she took, or when she left? She might already be in Beijing. Once she enters Beijing, there’s nothing anyone can do.”

Of course, Zhan Hongjun knew this, and that was why they hadn’t gone to Beijing; it would’ve yielded no results.

Feeling annoyed, Gu Haiqing fiercely threw what he held onto the ground, exclaiming, ”It’s my fault for being too hesitant. I’ve heard that old monster has already arrived, and now, even if there’s action, it must be done secretly.”

Zhan Hongjun and Le Jiayang looked at Gu Haiqing; they didn’t know who this ’old monster’ was but understood that Gu Haiqing feared the ’old monster’ greatly!

Zhan Hongjun and Le Jiayang didn’t know how to comfort him, so they stayed silent for a while until Gu Haiqing coldly laughed, ”Chu Fenglei, that scoundrel, probably still doesn’t know the old monster is here. If he did, he’d likely be scared to death.”

At the Hao family, the Iron Triangle and Sun Bingyang, seeing Hao Meili gradually recovering, planned to leave today.

Luo Yirui and Jing Changle pondered what to do next?

Should they follow the Iron Triangle? They weren’t very familiar, and living at Hao Rong’s place seemed awkward.

Hao Rong, however, was very willing for them to stay, especially after Luo Yirui displayed his remarkable talents, he sincerely started calling him ’Brother Xiao Rui,’ with no hint of teasing.

Jing Changle currently has a clear goal: to soon become a true Mystic Doctor, rather than a dubious, unappreciated one.

Luo Yirui advised him not to rush because his foundational knowledge is shallow, and even if he could perform Spiritual Talisman, it wouldn’t be very useful.

Jing Changle knew he was right; he was just waiting for things to end so he could go to Beijing with Luo Yirui, to the small courtyard, and learn from Beisitian.

That night, Jing Changle couldn’t sleep as he knew some things Aunt Bei hadn’t told him, for good reason. He often wondered about the true nature of his mother.

Outside, the moonlight was bright, with no other light except street lamps. Under the moonlight’s glow, the ground seemed to be covered with a dark pearl sheen.

Through the gap in the curtains, he looked at the night scenery outside, feeling quite peaceful inside.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed by, attracting Jing Changle’s attention immediately. He carefully leaned towards the glass, looking down; the person who appeared wasn’t anyone else but Hao Meili, Hao Rong’s aunt.

Could Hao Meili already be able to get out of bed and walk?

Jing Changle found this puzzling; she had been bedridden for a long while, and how could she suddenly walk so steadily and quickly? This didn’t fit with someone who had been ill for so long.

With no lights on, Jing Changle remained still, making it unlikely for Hao Meili to notice someone watching from the window even if she looked up, so she moved swiftly.

Jing Changle noticed her bypass a small flowerbed beneath the window, heading towards the rear yard.

This spot is behind the Hao Family Villa. The villa backs onto a small lake, an artificial excavation by the villa area’s developers, just a few hundred meters away from the backyard.

Presently, Hao Meili stood outside the small courtyard’s back wall, seemingly crouching there.

At this moment, Luo Yirui moved, sitting up to use the restroom. Drowsily, he saw Jing Changle leaning sideways behind the curtain, watching something outside, rubbed his eyes, and was about to speak when Jing Changle motioned him to remain silent, urging him over.

Luo Yirui went over, hiding on the other side of the curtain, peering out through the small gap, but saw nothing.

He looked at Jing Changle, shrugged, displaying his confusion, and Jing Changle pointed a finger at the wall outside the backyard, urging him to wait patiently.

Luo Yirui looked over; soon, a half-body silhouette appeared, startling him. Someone was hiding behind the wall!

Hey, isn’t that Hao Meili’s aunt?

Hao Meili conveniently passed under the street lamp, providing Luo Yirui a clear view.

He frowned slightly. Hao Meili’s rapid recovery was anticipated, but she hadn’t told anyone, hiding her recovery, still feigning the need for her brother and servants’ care during the day.

Why?

Luo Yirui and Jing Changle exchanged a glance, and under the moonlight, saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

Did Hao Meili hide something there?

In almost a moment, they reached a consensus, planning to check it out once Hao Meili was gone.

To see what’s hidden, one look should suffice.

After wrapping up, Hao Meili didn’t return the way she came but walked alongside the outer wall. Whether she returned to the villa was unclear, as following the wall would lead to the villa’s main entrance.

They waited for forty minutes, with no sign of Hao Meili coming back. Luo Yirui and Jing Changle quietly crept downstairs; when they reached the first floor, they saw Hao Meili standing in the hall, frightening them nearly to death.

Standing there in the dead of night was terrifying.

Fortunately, they noticed early; the two small figures were motionless on the stairs, and Hao Meili didn’t discover them.

At this moment, they both felt Hao Rong’s aunt was exceptionally odd, crouching beneath the outer wall at night, unsure of her purpose, and now standing where only her outline could be distinguished in the first-floor hall.

In the dark, a person standing there could certainly scare someone.

After a long while, Hao Meili finally moved and stepped towards the stairs, terrifying Luo Yirui and Jing Changle, making their hearts leap up, quickly turning to ascend the stairs, stepping lightly to avoid any noise that might alert Hao Meili.

They went upstairs, aware that Hao Meili would head down the right-side corridor, so they crouched at the base of the left-side corridor wall, the hallway was very dark, with them hidden in the shadows, making it hard to spot if not looking closely.

They just hoped Hao Meili wouldn’t be so alert in the middle of the night.

They held their breath due to slight footsteps, pulling their bodies tightly together, waiting for that person to come upstairs.

Soon, Hao Meili stepped on the staircase but stopped at the top, nearly causing their hearts to leap out.

They dared not move, reducing their presence, unaware that Hao Meili’s eyes appeared vacant, with her gaze seeming hollow.
