Chapter 196: Don’t Be Afraid
“I can save my grandfather and grandmother, and I can also save Ling Hanmu!” Xia Chenge looked down at him from above, her expression indifferent.
Ling Zhongwen stared at her: “You cured Xia Yuanzhi?”
“What else?” Xia Chenge curled her lips slightly.
“How did you do it?” Ling Zhongwen, ignoring his injuries, excitedly reached out to grab Xia Chenge.
Seeing this, Xia Chenge frowned, kicked his hand away, bent down, and said word by word: “You want to know? Unfortunately, I will never tell you. Take your curiosity and go to hell to find the answer!”
After speaking, Xia Chenge kicked Ling Zhongwen unconscious.
She returned to Ling Hanmu’s side and placed him on the iron bed.
This matter needs to be handled properly. With her influence in this era, she couldn’t do it, and Ling Hanmu was unconscious. The only person she could think of was Ling Zhongjing.
She found a mobile phone on Ling Zhongwen, unlocked it in a few steps, found Ling Zhongjing’s phone number, and called him.
“Big Brother, what’s wrong?” After a few rings, Ling Zhongjing answered sleepily, “Calling me so early.”
“Uncle, it’s Chenge.” Xia Chenge spoke very quickly, “I’m at Rende Hospital, can you come over immediately?”
“Xiao Ge? What happened?” Ling Zhongjing asked while rustling and starting to get up. Madam Ling was probably woken up too and was asking him what was wrong.
“You come over first, Xiao Mu is fine. Uncle Zhongwen is injured, and Xiao Mu is taking care of him.” Xia Chenge didn’t want Ling Zhongjing to worry too much, so she didn’t tell the truth.
“I’ll be right there.” Ling Zhongjing immediately hung up the phone.
Xia Chenge took a deep breath. She didn’t know if Ling Zhongjing could handle seeing the current scene.
If Ling Zhongwen’s actions were exposed, it would definitely cause public panic and could even lead to internal strife in Country A! This is not the apocalypse, and moreover, Ling Zhongwen’s identity is not ordinary. Only by letting the Ling family handle it could the matter be resolved better.
She casually flipped through Ling Zhongwen’s mobile phone again. She didn’t see any important information, so she threw the phone back onto Ling Zhongwen.
Then she walked to Xia Mingxuan. Although Xia Mingxuan had difficulty speaking, his emotions were clearly very agitated.
“Just a little longer, and we can leave here. I’ll take you to see your daughter. You have to keep living.” Xia Chenge encouraged him softly.
“Ah.” Xia Mingxuan blinked.
Xia Chenge smiled slightly: “Don’t be afraid, everything will be alright.”
She wondered if the original owner’s mother, Cai Xue, was also imprisoned in a laboratory like Xia Mingxuan, undergoing experiments comparable to purgatory.
After checking that Xia Mingxuan was not in immediate danger, Xia Chenge went back to Ling Hanmu’s side.
At this moment, Ling Hanmu’s eyes were tightly closed, his handsome face as pale as paper, devoid of life. If it weren’t for the slight rise and fall of his chest, one would think he had stopped breathing.
Xia Chenge held his hand and found that the virus in his body had been temporarily suppressed, and his vital signs had returned to normal.
In the apocalypse, humans infected with the zombie virus either died or turned into zombies. She had never seen anyone like Ling Hanmu who could suppress the virus!
What was going on? Xia Chenge couldn’t find the reason and could only wait for Ling Hanmu to wake up and have Jiang Xian examine him thoroughly again.
She infused some healing power into Ling Hanmu, and his complexion slowly returned to normal, no longer as terrifying as before.
At the same time, Ling Zhongwen’s mobile phone rang.
Xia Chenge walked over and picked it up. It was Ling Zhongjing calling.
“Xiao Ge, I’ve arrived at Rende Hospital. Where are you?” Ling Zhongjing asked urgently.
“We’re by the morgue,” Xia Chenge said.
Ling Zhongjing was startled: “The morgue? Who… what happened…”
“No, you come over, I’ll meet you at the entrance.” Xia Chenge said.
Ling Zhongjing hurried over and arrived at the morgue five minutes later.
Xia Chenge listened carefully for a moment and found no one following Ling Zhongjing. Grub had already left Rende Hospital, and there was no immediate threat from the laboratory.
Xia Chenge opened the laboratory door and instantly appeared at the entrance of the morgue.
Ling Zhongjing was startled by her sudden appearance.
“Xiao Ge, what exactly happened? Why are you hiding here?” Ling Zhongjing asked anxiously.
“Come in first.” Xia Chenge cautiously observed her surroundings, then pulled Ling Zhongjing and quickly walked through the morgue.
Ling Zhongjing was very nervous.
“Uncle, no matter what you see later, you must hold on,” Xia Chenge warned Ling Zhongjing in advance, “because even more terrifying things are yet to come.”
“What exactly happened? Uncle is scared to death by you! Where are Xiao Mu and Big Brother?” Ling Zhongjing asked.
Xia Chenge did not answer.
Ling Zhongjing stood at the laboratory entrance. He was shocked at first, then stunned, and then furious: “Why does Rende Hospital also have such a laboratory?”
Xia Chenge remained silent.
Ling Zhongjing strode in, and when he saw Xia Mingxuan and Ling Hanchao in the glass tubes, he became so angry that he was shivering all over.
Recalling the laboratory hidden deep in the mountains that time, and knowing that Rende Hospital was Ling Zhongwen’s territory, he understood everything.
“What is my Big Brother doing?”
“He’s here.” Xia Chenge pointed at Ling Zhongwen.
Ling Zhongjing looked over, but he didn’t step forward because he saw Ling Hanmu lying motionless.
“Xiao Mu… Xiao Ge, tell me, what happened to him?” Ling Zhongjing looked at Xia Chenge and asked with a trembling voice, his clenched fists showing his current fear.
“He just fainted and will wake up soon. Uncle, don’t worry.” Xia Chenge still didn’t dare to tell Ling Zhongjing the truth, fearing he couldn’t accept such a cruel reality.
“What is all this about?” Ling Zhongjing asked.
Xia Chenge thought for a moment and told him about Ling Zhongwen using humans for experiments.
However, she didn’t dare to reveal anything about the Ling family members who died at Ling Zhongwen’s hands.
“Is that all? Xiao Ge, tell me the truth, what exactly happened to Xiao Mu? Don’t worry, Uncle can handle it!” Ling Zhongjing steeled himself and asked.
As Xia Chenge was thinking about how to tell Ling Zhongjing tactfully, she suddenly heard Ling Hanmu softly calling her: “Little Brother, Little Brother…”
Xia Chenge looked over abruptly and saw Ling Hanmu reaching out and fumbling around.
She rushed over and grabbed Ling Hanmu’s hand: “Xiao Mu, I’m here.”
Ling Hanmu immediately squeezed her hand back, then slowly opened his eyes and looked at her weakly: “Little Brother…”
“I’m here, I’m here…” Xia Chenge held him tightly, responding to him.
“Xiao Mu, how are you?” Ling Zhongjing asked, extremely anxious.
“Dad, why are you here?”
“Are you trying to scare your old man to death? What happened?”
“I’m fine, don’t worry.” Ling Hanmu said, then paused and looked at Xia Chenge again, “Little Brother, didn’t you tell Dad?”
