"She has discovered me," Shen Qiang realized with utter clarity, returning to Tumor Surgery.
Yet even so, Shen Qiang felt no regret about his decision, especially when the image of the little girl moving her fingers and smiling surfaced in his mind.
Shen Qiang felt that all the risks were worth it.
"Shen Qiang, I have been looking for you. I have a colorectal cancer patient here; his condition is a bit complicated. Other surgeons aren't confident, so I wanted to ask if you could perform the surgery?"
Just arriving at Tumor Surgery, the new Deputy Director Chen Liangpeng hurried over.
Shen Qiang looked at the case and took a deep breath, "No problem."
Chen Liangpeng immediately said with eyes full of delight, "Then I will go and arrange the surgery right now."
Observing this scene, Director Wang at the nurse's station had a chilly gaze.
...
Half an hour later, on the fifth floor of the Bikang outpatient building, in an unused electroencephalogram room.
Through the glass window.
A tall female military officer sat quietly on a chair, watching the little girl inside the electroencephalogram room, who was looking at a computer displaying a doctor's photo every five seconds.
"We found a surgical knife at the crime scene. Before their deaths, all the victims, without exception, were ill and had been confirmed after testing to have all contracted Type B flu."
"And just half an hour ago, this guy silently cured her finger right under my eyes, so I'm certain that this guy is a doctor, and he's in this hospital," she said.
The officer sitting on the chair frowned, "That sounds quite logical, but it's not unusual for everyone living in the same house to catch a cold."
The petite girl looked expectantly at the little girl on the other side of the glass and said, "My judgment isn't wrong. We've gathered photos of all the doctors currently working in this hospital. If he's among them, this little girl's expression will surely change, and then we'll be able to find him."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple," the female officer replied. "I had this little one take an IQ test earlier, and her score was above 125, smarter than more than ninety-two percent of people."
The petite girl was momentarily stunned, "The selection criteria for Dragon Nest is an IQ above 120, are you suggesting?"
The female officer sighed slightly, "Her mom's an addict, and nobody knows who her father is. The options are either sending her to the orphanage or to Dragon Nest."
The petite girl was silent for a moment, "Do you think she's fit for it?"
"That will depend on whether she likes being ordinary or not," the officer replied.
The petite girl fell silent.
At that moment, a female police officer in the electroencephalogram room looked up and shook her head towards them.
The petite girl exclaimed in disbelief, "How is that possible, not finding anyone!"
The female officer sighed, "It seems you might have thought too much."
The petite girl frowned, "That doesn't make sense; normally, if the person weren't very familiar and confident with this environment, he wouldn't dare to make such a move."
Just then, the door creaked open.
A man in military uniform followed two women, both about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, inside.
The female officer frowned, "Internal Affairs Department? What are you doing here?" she said, glancing at the man in uniform. "Did you ask them to come?"
The man in military uniform spoke somberly, "Yes, it was I who asked them to come. This criminal is exceedingly vicious and brutal—it's crucial to bring him quickly to justice. I cannot accept the laziness you display in pursuing him."
The female officer laughed, "I thought so."
The petite girl, with a cold look in her eyes, evaluated the man in uniform, "He's an untrustworthy fellow; he seems in a rush to get Internal Affairs here just to prove he's working harder than us. He's eager to make a name for himself."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in the eyes of the man in uniform, "Justice suffers no blemishes. I am a member of the Dragon Group, and for such criminals, I won't give them the slightest leniency."
"Oh, will you kill him?" the female officer asked coldly and mockingly.
The man in uniform said as a matter of course, "If he dares to resist my arrest, I will not hesitate to kill him."
At that moment, the middle-aged woman who came with him laughed, "Quite the killer instinct."
The man fell silent.
Then, the female officer spoke indifferently, "What do those old guys mean by this?"
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Based on this suspect's actions, we infer that he poses no threat to the Huaxia people, and his danger level is temporarily assigned as E."
The man in uniform was stunned, "Wait a minute, Ali had previously confirmed his danger level as S...
The middle-aged woman turned her head and told him, "Indeed, he has killed many people, but those dead deserved what they got, and more importantly, over thirty children were rescued because of him."
"Moreover, the higher-ups reviewed your latest report, after which this man used miraculous Medical Skill to cure the little girl's finger."
"Analyzing human behavior, he seems to be the kind-hearted type who wouldn't harm the innocent and possesses incredibly miraculous Medical Skill."
"Thus, the higher-ups have asked you to halt the pursuit. Hereafter, a specialized team will conduct a background investigation on this man."
Stunned by this, the man asked, "Background investigation? What do you mean? Does the higher-up think his Medical Skill is good and plan to recruit him?"
The middle-aged woman laughed, "After the background investigation, recruitment often follows, but exactly how to proceed will depend on what the higher-ups decide."
The man became infuriated, "How can this be, how can we tolerate such a criminal..."
"He's not a criminal," the middle-aged woman interjected coldly. "Although his identity has not yet been affirmed, his actions fully comply with the Dragon Group's definition of justice."
"Eradicate evil, protect the good."
The man said angrily, "If everyone did like that, it would be chaotic."
The middle-aged woman laughed, "He is a Cultivator, thus he's more suitable for another set of rules. That's it for this matter. Go and carry out your duties."
"Internal Affairs Department will take it from here. As long as he continues like this, we will eventually find him, and if he passes our tests, we'll recruit him to the Dragon Group."
"If he is, in fact, a grievous criminal, we will naturally eliminate him."
The female officer stood up and said, "Alright, we'll leave it at that. However, I still have something to add about the little girl inside—she has an IQ above 125, and now she's homeless."
The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up immediately, "Oh, it sounds like she might fit well in Dragon Nest."
