The corners of Ling Jue's lips curled up. The indecent Feng Yulin was rather cute.
"Alright, I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow."
2"Good night."
2Ling Jue hung up the phone and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. She could not believe that all of this was real.
It was like a dream...
2...
The next morning.
Ling Jue arrived at the hospital where Xia Qinglian had given birth to her. The place had become deserted.
It was a very quiet place, surrounded by dried leaves.
A forty-something-year-old security guard was sitting in the pavilion, dozing off.
Ling Jue entered the pavilion easily. There were not many people here.
She looked at the sign beside her. It turned out that this place had become a mental hospital.
She walked into the small garden. Many old men in white were in a daze in the pavilion.
"Hey, hey, hey, who are you? Why are you here? Get out now!"
2A nurse's voice came from behind Ling Jue.
She turned her head. It was a young girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing a nurse's outfit and had a serious look on her face.
"Ling Jue?"
2"..."
"You're Ling Jue?!" She was shocked and ran towards her. "Are you really Ling Jue? I've watched your livestream. I even drew your lipstick the other day. That little brother gave it to me! Do you remember me?!"
2Her face was full of surprise and she was at a loss. Her face was also a little red.
"It's you." Ling Jue remembered. She nodded. "I'm here to look for someone."
2"Look for someone?" She raised her eyebrows slightly. "Is it your family?"
2"Yes."
2"There are only a few elderly people here. Some of them are sleeping. What's the name of your family? Shall I go and check?"
2She looked like a fangirl. After all, Ling Jue was her favorite little brother.
"Does this hospital still have records of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department fifteen years ago?"
2"Fifteen years ago?" She frowned. "There was a fire here in the past, and everything was burned down. Many of the files are gone, so we might not be able to find them."
2Ling Jue nodded. No wonder she saw that the wall on the east side was a little black.
Perhaps the fire had turned this place into a mental hospital...
2"Ten years ago, it was such a big fire! It burned down! It was so scary!"
2Behind the nurse, an old lady with white hair jumped out and said in fear.
"Grandma Li, why did you come out again? Have you finished the food Xiaoqiao cooked for you?"
2"Yes, yes." She grabbed Xiaoqiao's hand with a smile and repeated, "Yes, yes."
2Ling Jue looked around the place. It seemed that she really could not find what she was looking for.
"If that's the case, I'll go back first. Thank you." Ling Jue looked at Xiaoqiao with a faint smile.
2"Lord Jue..." Xiaoqiao looked at her prince charming leaving reluctantly. She really wanted to reach out for an autograph and a group photo.
2"Hmm?"
2"Were you born here before?"
2"Yes, fifteen years ago." Ling Jue smiled faintly. "So, I wanted to take a look..."
2"Fifteen years ago, a child went missing..." Grandma Li held Xiaoqiao's hand tightly, her face full of fear. "It was stolen..."
2"Grandma Li, you're talking nonsense again." Xiaoqiao turned to look at Ling Jue apologetically. "Don't mind it, Lord Jue. Grandma Li is old, and she always likes to talk nonsense. She used to be an obstetrician in this hospital, but after delivering a child, she was fired. Her family members passed away one after another. She suffered a blow and had some mental problems."

Ling Jue's eyes flashed. She clenched her fists tightly in her pocket and smiled faintly. "Is that so? Can I talk to Grandma Li? I'm a psychiatrist."
2"Really?" Xiaoqiao was full of admiration for her prince charming. She looked at him with admiration.
2"Yes." Ling Jue smiled. "I'm very happy to be able to help the old woman."
2"Lord Jue, you're so kind." Xiaoqiao's eyes sparkled. How could there be such a perfect prince charming? She would never stop being a fan for the rest of her life.
2"Then you can sit here and chat with Grandma Li. I'm checking two rooms now. I'll be back immediately!"
2"Okay."
2Ling Jue's lips curled up. This little girl was quite clever.
"Grandma Li, you can chat with Xiaoqiao's prince charming here. Xiaoqiao will go and see Grandma Wang and Grandma Wu now. I'll come back immediately, okay?"
2"Not good. Xiaoqiao, don't go and see those two old ladies. You have to accompany me!"
2Seeing the old woman like this, Xiaoqiao could not help but laugh. She whispered into her ear. "This is Xiaoqiao's favorite person. Please talk to him. Didn't you say that Xiaoqiao should look for a boyfriend? Please talk to him. If he's not good, Xiaoqiao won't like him anymore."
2"Xiaoqiao's boyfriend?"
2"Yes, yes!" Xiaoqiao looked at Ling Jue awkwardly. In order to help the old lady, she had to let such a good prince charming suffer for the time being.
2She did not dare to dream of a prince charming. She would be torn to shreds by her clansmen.
Ling Jue smiled lightly, indicating that she did not mind.
2"Okay, then Grandma Li will help you keep an eye on him." Grandma Li nodded with a smile on her face.
2"I'll take my leave then."
2"Let's go, let's go." Grandma Li waved her hand.
2Xiaoqiao looked at Ling Jue apologetically. "Lord Jue, please don't mind Grandma Li's nonsense... Thank you for your trouble."
2She bowed and quickly ran away.
Ling Jue looked at the old woman's smiling face and extended her hand to her. "Hello, grandma. I'm Xiaoqiao's boyfriend. Thank you for taking care of her these days."
2Grandma Li saw that the kid was quite sensible, so she reached out to shake his hand.
"Grandma Li, I have a question to ask you. I wonder if you can tell me about it?"
2"Hmm?" Her eyes were a little cloudy. "What question? Is it about Xiaoqiao?"
2"No, I want to ask about the child who went missing fifteen years ago."
2Grandma Li suddenly became very quiet. "The missing child is so pitiful..."
2"Her parents didn't want her..."
2"They said that she was thrown at the door of an ordinary person's home when she was born..."
2"She was very beautiful and was about to die. I put her in the nursery, and she survived..."
2"But she disappeared in a few days. Her parents still threw her away... But, a few days later, I was walking on the street, and I saw someone steal her..."
2She spoke in a staccato voice, as if she was recalling something.
2Ling Jue reached out to hold her. "And then? Who are her parents?"
2"I can't tell you..." She looked up with fear in her eyes. "I can't tell you. If I tell you, I'll die. Xiaoqiao will die, you'll die, the principal will die... I forgot... I forgot, I don't know anything!"
2She suddenly went crazy. "Don't ask me anymore. I don't know anything."
2Ling Jue gently touched her hand. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
2She miraculously quieted down. She raised her head and stared at Ling Jue. Then, her face was filled with shock. "It's you! Her parents are you! It's you!"
2"It's you! It's you! Ahhhh! Demon! There's a ghost!"
2She quickly pulled her hand out, stood up in fear, and screamed.
