Chapter 456 Sick Bed

The three found themselves an empty office and sneaked into it . When Zhang Heng turned on the computer to check the hospital records, Fan Meinan used her Plasticine to make a new face for herself . Han Lu was the most nervous among them . Although she had encountered all kinds of incidents in the capital world, this was her first time sneaking into somebody’s office . She was asked to stand by the door to keep a lookout for anybody that might come knocking .

“It’s okay,” Zhang Heng told her . “If someone comes in, knock them out before they can scream . ”

Han Lu took glanced around anxiously, picking up the lamp beside the examination bed without hesitation .

After a while, Fan Meinan had finished constructing a new look for herself . Now, she looked like a completely different person . Zhang Heng’s eyes opened wide at the female version of “Ma Wei” in front of him, and he was at a loss for words .

“Can’t you… change to a more… normal look?”

“Fine . ” Fan Meinan reconstructed her ‘face’ again, and when she raised her head, the person looking at him now very much resembled Hayase Asuka . She then blinked at Zhang Heng .

“bid . 5~ . ”

“Do whatever you want as long as you are happy . ” Zhang Heng’s hands were still on the keyboard, and soon, he managed to enter the hospital’s patient management system .

After a thorough search, he singled-out a little girl named Wang Shuangshuang . She was admitted two weeks ago, just when the number of flu patients in the hospital started to rise significantly . She had been here for more than ten days, and her condition had only gone from bad to worse . Each time she was about to get better, her condition would worsen again, and this situation had repeated twice .

Her attending doctor could not figure out an effective way to cure her completely, so the hospital called on all of the resident doctors to try to find a way . Nonetheless, despite pooling together some of the brightest minds on site, they failed to improve her current prediciament .

Zhang Heng tore off a post-it note and wrote down the girl’s ward and bed, as well as three other seemingly suspicious patients . Suddenly there was the sound of a key being inserted into a keyhole .

A chubby man in a white coat opened the office door, and he just walked in naturally without any second thoughts .

However, the sight of Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan inside his office had him startled . When he wanted to look at the sign outside the door, a lamp hit him hard on the head, and he fell to the ground without getting the chance to say a word . Han Lu closed the door behind her as quickly as she could, then dragged the man to the sofa . She noticed that Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan were staring at her .

“What’s wrong, is there something on my face?” Han Lu asked .

“No, this is my first time seeing a rich person beating someone up . That was awesome!” Fan Meinan said truthfully .

Zhang Heng got up and checked the unlucky man on the sofa . Since the back of a human head was a very fragile part, those who had not received professional training in that area could cause paralysis or even death when hitting somebody at the back of their head . Fortunately, Han Lu was female, and she had also not slept in a long time . Hence, there wasn’t much energy left in her when she hit the man . The hapless guy was out cold and would probably only wake up after a while .

Initially, Zhang Heng mentioned that he wanted to do it himself, but he did not expect Han Lu to react so quickly . Luckily, she caused no major trouble .

Zhang Heng put away the post-it note . “Let’s go,” he said .

The three slipped out of the office again, and Han Lu still seemed a little excited while they were on the way to the ward, probably intrigued by the way that she knocked the man out . The fatigue on her face had been reduced as well . After a while, they passed the nurses’ station . At the moment, the hospital was short-staffed, and all nurses were all busy with their tasks, so there was nobody to notice them when they passed it . Zhang Heng followed the signs and found Wang Shuangshuang’s ward . According to the patient management system records, Wang Shuangshuang was 13 years old this year, and she should be in junior high . Her classmates were all in school, but the girl could only lie on the hospital bed with her schoolbag lying silently on the bedside table . A woman who seemed to be her mother sat by her bedside .

Zhang Heng looked at Fan Meinan . She was carefully observing them through the window for a long time . She then shook her head . “It can’t be her . Her appearance might change, but the way a mother looks at her daughter can’t be faked . ”

“We’ve found the target now . What should we do next?” Han Lu asked .

“Good question . It seems like my sister hasn’t found it yet . We should find a less conspicuous spot and wait for her to show up,” Fan Meinan replied . “Well? Any suggestions?” she turned to ask Zhang Heng .

Zhang Heng did not answer in a hurry, only answering after a while . “This is a twin-bedded ward . Who is the patient next to her bed?”

To maintain the patients’ privacy, a curtain acted as a partition in the middle of the room . Since it was drawn, it was impossible to look at the other bed from the window .

“About this… I’m afraid I’ll have to ask the nurse before we can know,” Fan Meinan said .

“Forget it . I’ll go in and take a look myself,” replied Zhang Heng . He then walked into a ward next to him . A nurse had just pushed the medicine cart in . She quickly bent over, tied a rubber tube around the patient’s wrist before applying some iodophor on the back of the patient’s hand .

While the nurse was concentrating on treating the patient in front of her, Zhang Heng quietly sneaked out a bottle of Levofloxacin, a pair of syringes, and two infusion stickers from the cart . He took the syringe apart by removing the needle, and once that was done, he put it on the back of his hand and stuck an IV infusion sticker on it .

He connected the other end with the Levofloxacin, held it, and pretended to walk into the wrong ward . He walked into Wang Shuangshuang’s ward without paying attention to the girl and her mother near the door . Zhang Heng lowered his head and drew the curtains open .

To make it seem as if he’d entered the ward by mistake, Zhang Heng put on a stunned expression . He took the opportunity to look at the patient on the bed next to Wang Shuangshuang . He found an elderly old man who was asleep, and his wife sitting next to him on the visitors’ chair . She was peeling an apple, and when she saw Zhang Heng, she was taken aback .

Zhang Heng apologized to the grandmother, drew the curtains shut, and walked out of the ward .

“How did it go?” asked Fan Meinan . Zhang Heng tore off the infusion sticker from his hand and threw the syringe and levofloxacin into the trash can next to the bathroom .

“I’m not sure, but the patient next to Wang Shuangshuang doesn’t look right to me . It shouldn’t be bedtime now . Even if the old man is a deep sleeper, he should have woken up during the infusion . I saw his IV infusion bottle . The bottle was new, and the drip just started . The wife, knowing that her husband has fallen asleep, is still peeling the apple . She looks suspicious to me as well . . ”

But as Zhang Heng walking, he saw a nearby woman in a hospital gown holding a thermos flask secretly watching them not far away . When Zhang Heng looked at her, she instantly threw away the flask in her hand and bolted toward the stairs .
