Chapter 592 - Wang Wei
Li Huowang looked at the door and saw that the guards were still outside, so he whispered, “Wang Wei, my illness has been cured. The other side is fake. I merely imagined it. We\'re done here. Don’t come and look for me again, or else!”
Li Huowang shook Wang Wei off and turned around to leave, but he didn\'t expect Wang Wei to pester him.
“I have video evidence of you producing gold out of nowhere! Do you have any idea what\'s going to happen to you once I post it on the Internet?!” Wang Wei said.
Li Huowang came to a halt. He turned around and glared at Wang Wei.
He walked up to Wang Wei and whispered into the latter\'s ears, “You better think before you speak. I’m still a patient here, and if a mentally ill person commits a crime, it is not considered a crime!”
Li Huowang then snarled, revealing his white teeth.
Wang Wei shivered, feeling like he was talking to a beast rather than to a man. Li Huowang was really going to kill him!
However, his excitement was still higher than his fear; he pretended to be calm as he replied, “I don’t believe you. You can’t kill me because you\'re not ill! You only have special powers!”
Wang Wei then retreated after saying that, afraid that Li Huowang would bite off his head. “I\'m not here to threaten you! I’m here to work with you earnestly!”
“You\'ve lost your mind!” Li Huowang roared. Footsteps echoed from outside just then.
“We have to stop talking! We\'ll talk again once we get another chance!”
“Little Li?” Little Liu asked as he entered the toilet with the other guard. They saw Li Huowang washing his hands, and an old man was mopping the floor.
“Why are you guys in such a hurry? I’m handcuffed, so I can\'t move fast.” Li Huowang shook the water off of his hand and left without looking at Wang Wei.
The guards looked at the old man in confusion before following Li Huowang out of the toilet.
In the next few days, Li Huowang never visited that specific toilet and Wang Wei didn\'t visit him at all. It seemed like nothing had happened between them.
However, Li Huowang knew that it wasn\'t over yet.
Wang Wei would definitely come and visit him, and he had to be prepared for that.
Several days later, a festive atmosphere enveloped the hospital, and the patients were smiling more often.
Soon, it would be the New Year, and the hospital’s food had become better than usual.
Li Huowang even heard the guards talking about how the other hospitals would even set up stages, allowing patients to perform and showcase their talents.
Unfortunately, the White Tower Hospital had no patients capable of performing, so they decided to just make some dumplings to eat during New Year\'s Eve as well as other traditional activities.
Finally, it was New Year\'s Eve. Sun Xiaoqin was giggling in joy as she wrapped dumplings with Li Huowang. She laughed at Li Huowang\'s messy dumplings.
“Wrap them faster, so we can go watch the shows that are only aired during New Year\'s Eve.”
“Do we really need to make so many dumplings?” Li Huowang asked, shaking his handcuffed hands.
“Of course! We can’t just make it for ourselves. We need to share them with the other patients. They\'ve been leading a hard life all this time.”
Soon, they were done wrapping the dumplings, and Sun Xiaoqin took them to the kitchen. There were knives in the kitchen so someone like Li Huowang was banned from even getting close to it.
Little Liu led him to the common area to watch television. Perhaps it was because of the holiday, but Li Huowang only had one guard around him.
“Do you still need to work overtime despite it being a holiday today? You sure have it rough,” Li Huowang said, sitting down on the bench.
Little Liu was unhappy as well. He fished out a piece of candy from his pocket and ate it before replying, “Sigh. What can I say? I’m just a paid prisoner at this point. I don’t feel like working here anymore. Why was I so stupid to take up this job?”
“Hey, look at the bright side. Even though you can’t go home during the New Year\'s Eve, you still have overtime pay. Most people don’t even get paid despite working overtime.”
Soon, it was eight o’clock, and the show that Sun Xiaoqin had been waiting for today finally started.
Sun Xiaoqin also served the dumplings.
A group of patients and guards ate dumplings while complaining about the show. The festive air around the hospital seemed to reach its peak, making everyone feel like they were truly about to welcome another year.
Just then, the bizarre sensation came back. Li Huowang said nothing and stood up. He told Little Liu that the show was boring and that he wanted to go to sleep.
Everyone was in the common area, so the wards were quiet, even the corridors were desolate.
Li Huowang glanced at the red light coming from the surveillance camera. Moments later, it disappeared, and the door to his room swung open.
“You\'re here?” Li Huowang wasn\'t surprised to see Wang Wei here.
Li Huowang saw Wang Wei, and he was wearing a blue-and-white striped hospital gown as a disguise.
“You\'re really good at this. To think that you can infiltrate this place so easily,” Li Huowang said. He knew that he had to deal with this matter tonight.
Wang Wei merely threw a stack of paper onto Li Huowang’s bed. “It\'s Yi Donglai’s thesis. I know what you\'ve encountered over there.”
Li Huowang gave the documents a quick read and saw that the majority of what he had said to Yi Donglai was written on them.
While Li Huowang was busy reading the documents, Wang Wei walked up to him with an agitated look. “Since you can bring some gold from there to this side, you can also do the same for lifespan pills! I need you to bring over a pill for me right now!”
Li Huowang stared deeply at Wang Wei before saying, “While you were still my doctor, I ended up getting abducted by a few men. They thought I could produce gold out of thin air, too. Did you tell them about me?”
Li Huowang could still remember how he was abducted by a strange group of people, which ended up in him becoming a vagrant living underneath a bridge.
Li Huowang realized that those men couldn\'t have abducted him so easily without an insider\'s help, and he suspected Wang Wei of being that insider.
