“Yeah, I came over to see if there were any clues.” There were many signs on Gao Ran’s face showing that he was in a terrible mood.

“I heard about the murder and also bumped into Lin Mingyu. It sounded horrible! It’s a pity that a girl was killed so brutally…” Although Huo Mian had never met Xiang Xin, she still pitied her very much.

“I have a feeling that things won’t be that simple…” Gao Ran said slowly.

“You mean…” Huo Mian did not understand what Gao Ran was referring to.

“The Xiang Family has been in this city for many years, and Mr. Xiang has a powerful reputation. Ordinary people would not dare to touch his beloved daughter, but now someone has killed her in such a brutal manner…”

“Do you think Huo Siqian has something to do with this?” Huo Mian asked cautiously.

“I don’t know. There’s not enough evidence for me to say anything yet… I’m going back to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to investigate a bit further. It’s not that safe out there now so you should be extra careful…” Gao Ran warned. Then, he left the hospital.

After checking on her patients, Huo Mian went back to her office. Suddenly, her phone rang.

“Hello Chu…” Huo Mian smiled as she saw Qin Chu on her cell phone screen. The sight of him drove all her fears and worries away.

“Are you busy right now?” Qin Chu asked in a gentle voice.

“I just checked the patients and am about to eat lunch.”

“I also just finished a meeting.”

“Oh, I just saw Gao Ran. Did you hear about the murder that happened last night?” Huo Mian asked Qin Chu.

“Yeah. I saw it on the news. All the media channels are talking about it.”

“Yeah. It sounded horrible. The victim was the daughter of Mr. Xiang. I heard she was only 20 years old, such a prime and beautiful stage in her life… Lin Mingyu was the forensic doctor in charge of the case, and Gao Ran also came to the hospital. There’s a lot of attention put on this case because she died so brutally… The nurses at our hospital were already talking about it, and they said it could be the doing of vampires…”

“Vampires?” Qin Chu’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

“Yeah. There was no blood left in her body. Someone had drained her dry…” Huo Mian said seriously.

“Were there any marks on her neck?” Qin Chu joked.

Huo Mian: “…”

“Honey, your joke isn’t funny at all…” Huo Mian pouted.

“I heard Elder Xiang is at South Side…”

“Yeah. He’s in the VIP patient room. Not many can stand the pain of losing one’s daughter. He’s been treated with intravenous therapy.”

“So Mo Xue’er is there too, right?”

“Yeah, I saw her in the hallway,” Huo Mian said calmly. She did not mention how Mo Xue’er said Huo Siqian had dissociative identity disorder.

“Honey, how’s your work schedule like this week?” Qin Chu asked.

“They’re all day shifts this week…”

“Good…” Qin Chu sighed from relief.

“What? Honey, what does this have to do with me. Do you think I’d be afraid? Don’t worry, I’m not a little girl anymore. I’m not like those little girls that would ruminate on the possibility of vampires or zombies existing. I don’t believe in them. Although the sound of it is a bit frightening, I am still a doctor who believes in science,” Huo Mian scoffed.

“No. I’m just afraid that whoever killed Xiang Xin is after Mo Xue’er. Now that Mo Xue’er is in South Side, they might try to kill her in there… Someone who can use such brutal methods to kill Xiang Xin is probably a terrifying murderer. You work at the South Side so you should be careful, regardless of it being day shift or night shift,” Qin Chu was still a bit worried and he warned Huo Mian to be more cautious.
