Ling Zhenfei was baffled as soon as the woman spoke. He didn't know what was going on. He seemed to have just received an identical phone call, even the tone of voice seemed the same. The only difference was that the previous woman had told him to quickly leave the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and hide somewhere else, while the second woman insisted that he must not leave the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Ling Zhenfei was a bit puzzled by the situation.

"Hello, Officer Auntie, how many units are handling my case?" Ling Zhenfei was full of doubts, uncertain why he had suddenly received two different phone calls from the police, each with a different purpose.

"Only our department is responsible, but rest assured we will do our utmost to ensure your safety. Our people will arrive there soon and will contact you then, so you must not leave the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital under any circumstances. The situation is quite dangerous."

"But someone definitely called me just now, claiming to be from the Modu Public Security Bureau. Wasn't that call from you?" Ling Zhenfei asked in surprise.

The woman on the other end of the phone was also startled and said, "There is only one Public Security Bureau in Modu, and anyone else claiming to be from the bureau is fake. Do not trust them, and you must absolutely not leave the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital until our people arrive."

At that moment, Ling Zhenfei suddenly realized something. Two groups of people, two different phone calls, both claiming to be the police, but he really couldn't determine which group was the real police. Both groups said they would send someone to protect him, and he didn't know whom to trust.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Zhenfei fell into deep thought. He could even be certain that among the two groups of people who had called, there must be one that was fake, but he couldn't discern which was the real one. One group told him to hurry up and leave the Modu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to hide elsewhere.

The other group insisted that he must not leave the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and wait for the police to arrive. It made Ling Zhenfei wonder whether it was safer to stay at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital or to leave.

He stopped thinking due to the headache it caused, having made up his mind to see what these two groups were up to. With his defenses up, he wasn't afraid of being attacked unexpectedly.

Just then, a young nurse ran towards Ling Zhenfei, shouting in horror, "Divine Doctor Ling, something terrible has happened. After Xiao Kunkun was given the medicine, he suddenly had a severe reaction."

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei rushed into Xiao Kunkun's room and saw him writhing in agony. He immediately went over and felt Xiao Kunkun's pulse. To Ling Zhenfei's astonishment, there were two different kinds of spiritual power clashing within Xiao Kunkun's body, both incredibly powerful.

One stream came from the prescription Ling Zhenfei had written before, the Spiritual Energy from the final Medicinal Primer, the Dragon Transformation Herb. But the other stream of spiritual energy was strange, messy, and its source was unclear.

Ling Zhenfei infused his own Spiritual Energy into it, aiding the Dragon Transformation Herb's Spiritual Energy in expelling the strange energy. With the help of Ling Zhenfei's powerful Spiritual Energy, the strange force was driven back, disappearing near the Dantian all of a sudden. Ling Zhenfei's Spiritual Energy followed it into the Dantian but vanished instantly, with even the Spiritual Energy from the Dragon Transformation Herb being partly absorbed.

Xiao Kunkun's Dantian was like a bottomless pit, absorbing all the Spiritual Energy put into it. Ling Zhenfei quickly withdrew his Energy and, after checking on Xiao Kunkun and seeing no changes, he finally felt relieved.

Perhaps it was the effect of the herbal medicine, for Xiao Kunkun fell asleep as if he was very comfortable. Knowing it was indeed too late, Ling Zhenfei walked out, planning to continue the treatment the next day.

Ling Zhenfei's cell phone rang as he stepped out of the hospital ward, and he hurriedly answered it. A woman's voice came through the phone, "Hello Mr. Ling Zhenfei, I am from the Public Security Bureau. I had called you earlier. We have arrived at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, where are you?"

Ling Zhenfei was startled, not expecting them to arrive so soon, and he didn't know if the person on the line was a real police officer or an assassin in disguise.

"Where are you? I'll come to you," Ling Zhenfei said, pretending not to know the caller's identity, so that they might reveal themselves.

After the person provided an address, Ling Zhenfei walked towards the main hall of the first floor of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. At this late hour, there were hardly any people around, and the normally bustling hall now seemed rather desolate.

As soon as Ling Zhenfei entered the hall, he saw two people standing there—a man and a woman, both in police uniforms, looking around. They seemed to be the ones he had been on the phone with.

Ling Zhenfei quickly called out to them, "Hello, I am over here."

The two people walked towards Ling Zhenfei after spotting him. The man, in his thirties, had a bit of a beard and an air of authority about him. He clearly was a master of external martial arts—a highly skilled one could be impervious to knives and guns, with a body sturdy as iron. It was unclear to what realm he had practiced.

The woman appeared to be around thirty as well, but she had a commanding presence that reminded him of Han Lian. Although not as attractive as Han Lian, this woman exuded a scent of gunpowder—or maybe he was mistaken.

Ling Zhenfei couldn't be sure if these two were real police officers. Firstly, they were in uniforms, and secondly, he had used his Perspective Eye to observe them. They were equipped with police pistols and handcuffs, and even police daggers on their calves—a full set of police gear. If they were assassins in disguise, they likely wouldn't be so well-prepared.

But Ling Zhenfei couldn't be certain they were police officers; their abilities seemed too formidable. The man's spiritual power was faint, yet his external martial arts were tremendously developed, making him difficult to contend with.

The woman showed no sign of spiritual energy flowing through her, and it was not obvious what kind of expert she was. However, her sharp gaze and coordinated movements could only come from extensive training.

"Hello, are you Mr. Ling Zhenfei?" The woman approached and extended her hand to Ling Zhenfei.

"I am Ling Zhenfei. Thank you for coming to protect me, I really appreciate it," Ling Zhenfei said while lightly shaking hands with the woman, surprised to find her hand very cold.

"Let's get to the point," the woman said straightforwardly. "I am Zhang Ying from Modu Police Department, and this is my colleague Tu Gang. We are in charge of your security. You are in grave danger. Regardless of why you came to Modu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, you must leave under our protection, as the hospital is too conspicuous a target and frankly unsafe." The woman spoke very efficiently, getting right to the heart of the matter.
