Bab 383: Chapter 383: Enemies Meet, Eyes Burning Red

The nurse applying medicine to Little Bao glanced at the arcade owner, thinking, What a shameless adult, flattering a child like that. If she knew Little Bao's true identity, she'd likely have different thoughts entirely, perhaps along the lines of, Could I be your mother?

"Nurse, will he be alright?" Lin Fan asked.

"He's fine. Just minor scrapes. Apply some medicine, and he'll be good in a few days," the nurse replied. She was new and hadn't met Lin Fan or Old Zhang. Any doctor or nurse who had worked there for a while knew who they were: VIP clients of Huatian Hospital. Even the director would personally perform their surgeries.

Lin Fan's smile made the nurse uncomfortable. She felt strange and could only lower her head to avoid it.

"Who was that person just now?" the arcade owner asked. He had to leave a deep impression on this wealthy man. Only then would the man remember him.

"I don't know," Lin Fan replied. He genuinely didn't recognize the person who had appeared. They were a stranger, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't place them.

"Should we call the police?" the owner asked.

"They're gone. Calling the police is useless," Lin Fan said. Thinking back, he did regret not asking who the person was. But seeing Little Bao injured, he'd panicked and acted impulsively, causing the person to vanish instantly. As for where they went, he truly didn't know.

Soon, the bandaging was finished. Little Bao declared that with such an injury, he needed at least a month's rest. Otherwise, serious problems could arise, potentially leading to disability.

Lin Fan felt Little Bao's reasoning was sound and agreed with his plan. The nurse looked at them strangely. Was this necessary? Was there a need to be so dramatic? It was just a glass shard cutting his hand, not a severed limb.

"Thank you, goodbye," Lin Fan said, leading Little Bao and Old Zhang away after bidding farewell to the nurse.

Li Laifu, the hospital director, was out at a meeting. Otherwise, he would have personally greeted them. He hadn't seen them in a while and truly missed them.

"Quite polite," the nurse chuckled, dismissing their earlier behavior. People with such good manners couldn't be bad. They must simply be doting on the child. It was understandable.

As she left the department, a colleague approached her.

"Xiao Hui, you're so brave!" the colleague said, looking at her with admiration. Xiao Hui was bewildered.

"What do you mean?" she asked, truly confused.

"Those people you just treated, two of them are psychiatric patients. They're quite famous in our hospital. They're always self-harming, almost to the point of death each time. Even though I've been here for a few years, I'm still scared of them."

"Ah?" Xiao Hui gasped, feeling a pang of fear. She hadn't known she'd treated psychiatric patients. Thinking back, she did find them a bit odd, but she never imagined they were mentally ill. Who would hang out with psychiatric patients? Those who do must be mentally ill themselves. What if they had an episode? The thought was terrifying. She could already imagine the headlines the next day: Beautiful Nurse Brutally Attacked by a Group of Psychiatric Patients.

At the Special Department, the mysterious person's appearance triggered an energy fluctuation detected by the monitoring department. They reviewed the camera footage and saw the confrontation between the mysterious person and Lin Fan. However, due to the speed, the cameras didn't capture a clear image.

One-Eyed Man found Lin Fan and directly asked about the situation. The only answer he received was, "I don't know."

One-Eyed Man wanted to say, If you don't know who they are, why would they attack you? At least give me a reason. But he knew it was pointless to ask. Lin Fan was a normal person, but he couldn't forget that he was also a psychiatric patient.

One-Eyed Man felt exhausted. Looking up at the sky, he longed to breathe fresh air and be free, but sadly, that was a distant dream. He bore a heavy responsibility, needing to maintain control of the overall situation. He desperately wished for someone with comparable strength and intellect to appear so he could step back from some tasks and focus on others. He thought of Old Master Xu. As the head of the Capital Department, he couldn't ignore everything, but his age made it difficult to keep up.

Lin Fan, as usual, went to eat with Old Zhang. The Demon God's sister invited Lin Fan to dine with her. She still hoped to obtain his blood; otherwise, she would truly become useless. Recalling the past, she was filled with regret. If given another chance, she would never repeat her foolish actions.

The next day, Xia Kunyun, an official from the Xiadu Special Department headquarters, secretly visited Yanhai City, accompanied by the old swordsman, Bai Yun.

"What are you doing here again?" One-Eyed Man greeted Xia Kunyun coldly. To him, the grudge of a stolen wife was immense and unforgivable. Of course, it wasn't a literal theft.

"Be magnanimous. Don't dwell on the past. You're too petty," Xia Kunyun said.

"You call me petty?" One-Eyed Man nearly exploded. He was clearly here on business, yet he chose to provoke him. Where was the sincerity?

Old Swordsman Bai Yun understood the younger generation's affairs. Times had changed. "Alright, alright, give me some face. Stop arguing."

One-Eyed Man respected Bai Yun. He was old but still worked tirelessly for humanity. He deserved respect.

"Atu asked me to tell you to find a partner soon," Xia Kunyun said.

"I'm going to fight you!" One-Eyed Man lunged at Xia Kunyun. There was no one else in the office, so he didn't care if anyone saw. He couldn't endure it any longer. That scoundrel! How could he be so despicable?

A while later, Xia Kunyun calmed One-Eyed Man down. He knew One-Eyed Man valued his pride, so he apologized, claiming he misspoke. He asked for forgiveness. What more could One-Eyed Man say? With such an apology, continuing the argument would make him seem unreasonable.

Xia Kunyun said, "Old Swordsman Bai Yun and I came to retrieve the cultivation technique you obtained from Changbai Mountain. However, things aren't right at headquarters. We've been investigating the mole, but with little success."

"When we left, we felt like we were being followed. We took a detour, disguised ourselves as ordinary people, and finally managed to shake them off and get here."

One-Eyed Man frowned. "Is it that serious?"

Old Swordsman Bai Yun nodded. "Yes, the arrival of the Starry Sky Clans has disrupted everything. A while ago, someone spread rumors on social media that they were here to destroy and enslave us, causing panic and increasing the crime rate. We caught the rumormonger and learned he was paid to do it."

"It's undoubtedly the Shadow Society's doing, but their members are elusive, and we haven't found any useful leads yet."

One-Eyed Man said, "Don't worry about them. I don't care about those cowards. I only want to know two things: where are the evil creatures, and what are the Starry Sky Clans really like?" He had pondered these questions for a long time without any answers. The evil creatures used to harass them occasionally, as if to prove their existence. But now, they had vanished without a trace.

If Chi were there, he would have told One-Eyed Man that he had recalled all the evil creatures. Their previous harassment was meant to motivate humanity. As for the casualties, those were inevitable; even evil creatures needed to eat.

Old Swordsman Bai Yun shook his head. These were the questions they also sought to answer, but they hadn't found any useful information.

One-Eyed Man pondered for a moment. "Will you encounter danger on your way back?"

"Don't jinx us. I've been careful. We shouldn't be noticed," Xia Kunyun said, worried about the potential dangers. He had a family and wanted to enjoy life with them.

One-Eyed Man sighed. "You're being monitored in Xiadu. Do you think Yanhai City doesn't have Shadow Society members watching? You entered through the main gate in broad daylight. How could you not be noticed?"

"With your intelligence, I understand why you're just an official and not a leader. You're not good enough." He took the opportunity to mock Xia Kunyun, which was typical of him.

Xia Kunyun was angry but didn't argue. He simply couldn't win. "Then let Lin Fan escort us back."

"You think Lin Fan is a tool? Impossible. Besides, Yanhai City isn't peaceful lately," One-Eyed Man refused. He wouldn't let Lin Fan go with them. He knew Xiadu had their eyes on Lin Fan, hoping to poach him. He wouldn't give them the chance.

Old Swordsman Bai Yun said, "He's right. Yanhai City has become a key location and needs a strong protector. Otherwise, things could get troublesome."

One-Eyed Man said, "Old Swordsman Bai Yun, I'll arrange for Yongxin, Lin Daoming, and others to escort you back. Their strength has greatly improved. Unless they encounter powerful members of the Starry Sky Clans, few are their match." Everyone's strength had increased recently, especially Liu Haichan, whose rapid progress shocked even One-Eyed Man. Could it be that my talent is inferior to Liu Haichan's? he wondered.
