Chapter 70: Fateful Path (Part 29)
"He doesn't want me anymore; he already has a new girlfriend."
"By the way, are you going to check on my situation?"
"No, I came here specifically for you."
"You came all this way for me? You must be in love with me! Besides, having such a handsome ghost brother like you is still appealing." I stood up in shock, avoiding her hand and said angrily, "How can you say that? No wonder your boyfriend left you!"
"Such a hypocrite." Li Luwen was really angry and turned to walk away. After a few steps, she suddenly stopped and said, "The hospital is also a society; it's a dirty corner of society. As long as you have money, any dirty transaction can be completed. With money, life can be bought and sold, like the fetus in your belly. It can be born only to end up dead."
What did Li Luwen mean by that? Could someone really have the audacity to buy and sell babies? While I was pondering this, I saw a young woman being pushed over from another direction, crying to her husband beside her, "My poor child! When we came to the hospital, she was kicking so hard; I could feel her presence. How could she be born as a stillbirth?"
"Alright, don't cry. We're still young; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future," her husband comforted her sadly.
The car creaked as it passed by. Li Luwen sneered and said, "See? This is a dirty transaction."
"What do you mean?"
"You really don't understand? How foolish! That baby girl was swapped out; the one born alive was replaced with a dead baby for the family. The living one sold for quite a bit of money!"
"You aren't Li Luwen?"
Li Luwen looked surprised and embarrassedly grinned, "I am Li Luwen."
"Li Luwen wouldn't have this ability. Who are you? Don't come pretending to be her and tell me these things. Just take me to see the scene instead."
"I'm not going; I'm going to see my mom."
She really wasn't Li Luwen. From behind, I could see her silhouette overlapping, clearly indicating that it was one soul and one ghost intertwined together. I took a step forward, ready to use a talisman, but before I could act, a shadow detached itself from Li Luwen.
The shadow swiftly vanished into thin air—what an impressive evasion technique! Only higher-level Mystical Arts practitioners could achieve this. However, I felt that this shadow was familiar; it gave me a sense of closeness. Could it be Mi?
Li Luwen walked carelessly; with the shadow's detachment, she seemed to lose her balance and walked unevenly. I needed to find out who the gynecologist was before anything else. With determination set, I headed straight for Gynecology. Along the way, I thought about how Sun Yue shouldn't have done such things; as a doctor, he was betraying the very essence of saving lives. I wondered how he could possibly understand the heart of a healer.
Upon arriving at the Gynecology and Obstetrics office, I found the door closed. To an ordinary person, a closed door would block their view, preventing them from seeing what was happening inside. But for me, it was no obstacle at all. I chanted a spell and pointed my finger; everything inside became clear.
A younger woman named Sha Hong, with her hair styled in a bun, held a folded piece of paper in her hand.
A man with a flattering smile said, "Dr. Sun, here’s the money for you. When will I get the next one?"
"What's the rush? Do you think carrying a child for ten months is something that can be done overnight? It takes ten months, 306 days, 7,344 hours, 440,640 minutes, or 26,496,000 seconds."
"Doctor Sha, I admire your ability to calculate so precisely," the man said with a smirk, clearly trying to ingratiate himself.
"Enough of this nonsense. I'll take this money. You wait quietly for news. Remember to keep a low profile and don’t mess things up."
"Understood, Doctor Sha."
"You can leave now!"
"Alright, I'll be waiting for your good news. Bye!" The man flashed an ambiguous smile and turned to leave.
"Wait, let me check if anyone is outside."
"Don’t worry; it’s late at night. You’re the on-duty doctor—who would be bored enough to come looking for trouble here?" He opened the door and vanished into the dim light of the corridor, his footsteps fading away.
Sha Hong unfolded the paper in her hand; it was a deposit slip for one hundred thousand yuan. "This is clever; transferring money through a bank card is too obvious. This method of payment is much safer."
I was shocked—Sha Hong was selling babies! I had always thought that those who worked in Gynecology faced difficult situations with women seeking abortions out of necessity. I never imagined she would sell off the children born after ten months of pregnancy.
Frustrated that I couldn't reveal myself to report this to the police, I wondered what to do next. I wandered through the hospital corridors until finally spotting a Report Box at a corner. An idea struck me: I would report Sun Yue and Sha Hong.
I hurried to the Nurse Station where no nurses could see me. I tore off a piece of stationery and quickly wrote a compelling report letter that no one could ignore or disbelieve. After solemnly depositing it into the Report Box, I prepared to leave when I noticed a nurse approaching with a bucket of water, looking quite disdainful.
From afar, I caught a whiff of Deathly Aura; was there a child in that bucket? Sure enough, there was an Infant Ghost crawling on the ground and crying loudly. I approached it, took out a talisman, chanted an incantation, and collected the Infant Ghost. By then, the nurse had already walked far away.
I hurried after her and saw a baby curled up in the bucket—its body frozen purple, fists clenched tightly, teeth gritted, eyes half-open and half-closed. My heart sank as if thousands of horses were charging at me; tears welled up as my heart shattered under countless iron hooves—a pain so deep it made my vision go dark before I collapsed to the ground.
I thought that when I woke up this time, I would return to reality. But when I opened my eyes, I found myself lying by the side of the road instead.
I was lying there, wondering if this was my fate. What happened to Qin Jian? Had the time not come, or had something else distracted them, causing them to forget to check the time? With no other choice, I prepared to get up. Just then, a crowd gathered around me. I thought they were concerned for my well-being, so I lifted my head to see what was happening. Not far away, I noticed a dog that had been run over; it must have died recently. These people still couldn't see me. Confused, I looked around but couldn't find Li Luwen's spirit. Instead, I realized I was in an environment that was different from before.
This space felt familiar.
The surroundings were also recognizable. I wasn't injured and felt no discomfort at all. I got up, feeling a bit dazed and disoriented.
It had been eight hours since Zhang Xian and the others encountered trouble on their Fateful Path. Now, my spirit had separated from my body and slipped back in time, becoming lost within Li Luwen's consciousness. Just as I was pondering where to find Li Luwen, a girl approached from the left front, clutching her bag tightly.
She had her hair tied up in a high ponytail that bounced energetically with each step she took. However, her outfit seemed mismatched; she looked like a city girl dressed in old-fashioned clothes or perhaps a country girl trying too hard to fit in with urban fashion. She wore heavy makeup, bright lipstick, and painted nails.
I wasn't particularly interested in her appearance, but something about her stood out.
