Chapter 313 An Unexpected Intruder

Thus, Hu Ke's reputation at the hospital had subtly become even greater than that of Dr. Wang. This left the proud and prestigious Dr. Wang, somewhat jealous behind the scenes, or in other words, envious, resentful, and hateful. He had secretly tried to trip up Hu Ke a few times, but Hu Ke seemed to be a genius in the operating room. Regardless of the disease, as long as she was willing to take it on, there was no patient she couldn't cure.

Moreover, Hu Ke was so young, seemingly in her early twenties. He himself was nearly fifty, and the last time the hospital Director had spoken with him, he had hinted that the next promotion might go to Hu Ke. He had been coveting the position of Vice-Director for a long time! If Hu Ke were to rise to that position, wouldn't he be in danger?

Just Hu Ke alone was enough to make him irritated. Now another presumptuous young man had appeared, who thought he was someone important, daring to claim he could treat patients in front of him, Wang Baofu!

"Young man, you can't be too arrogant," Wang Baofu said icily, "Wasting my time is wasting the lives of others."

"Who's wasting your time?" Qin Chao touched his nose, "You can go wherever you want, I'm not here to treat you."

As he spoke, Qin Chao waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away someone of no consequence.

This infuriated Wang Baofu, and a young doctor at his side also piped up, voice shrill.

"Get out of the hospital, do you think this is your home?"

"This isn't your home either." A chill appeared in Qin Chao's eyes as he said somberly, "For those you can't cure, are you just going to watch them die? Is this your duty as doctors?"

"This man’s wife is dead, there's no need to treat her," Wang Baofu responded, anger in his eyes, "You're wasting the hospital's time, wasting all the doctors' time."

"Tsk tsk, you're really pinning a big hat on me..." Qin Chao held up a finger, "I only need ten minutes. It's basically the time it takes you to use the restroom."

Qin Chao looked at the several doctors opposite him, smiling.

"No way, leave immediately, you're not welcome here," Wang Baofu would never let him treat a patient here. An arrogant young man, he'd better not appear in the hospital again.

"Doctor, I'll take him away. Please, have mercy and save my wife..." The man was nearly in tears. He stood up, gripping Qin Chao's arm, and addressed the doctors.

"Even if you take him away, we can't save your wife," Wang Baofu snorted coldly, "You're questioning the judgment of an authoritative doctor."

"You shouldn't be begging them." Qin Chao looked at the man somewhat sadly, "You should be begging me."

But the man was already sobbing, his nose running and tears streaming down his face, at a loss for words.

"Alright, let's go, your wife needs to be moved to the morgue, she can't just lie here," one young doctor waved his hand, and several nurses prepared to leave with the cart.

"No, no!" The man immediately stopped in front of the car, kneeling down, holding onto the vehicle with his body. The corpse of his wife on top of the car swayed with his movements. "Please save her, I'm begging you..."

"Where's security? Get this man out of here," Wang Baofu was quickly losing his patience. He waved his hand, and two security guards in blue uniforms approached from the side, ready to pull the man away.

The two security guards were imposing and fearsome, and they advanced toward the man.

"Who dares approach?" Qin Chao merely glanced at the two security guards. The two tall and sturdy men immediately felt like they were being stared down by a ferocious beast. Every hair on their body stood on end, and they trembled on the spot. No one dared to take a step forward.

"Are you here to cause trouble?" Wang Baofu, seeing his hospital's security so ineffective, stomped his foot in frustration. "If you don't move aside, I'll have to call the police!"

Qin Chao furrowed his brow. If the other side continued to refuse to save the woman, he would have to forcibly intervene. He could sense that in the void, a ghost messenger was slowly approaching.

If the ghost messenger took away the woman's soul, there would be no chance left.

"What's going on?"

Just as both parties were at a stalemate, a somewhat soft but cold female voice rang out.

"Dr. Hu has arrived!"

"Look, it's Dr. Hu!"

"Dr. Hu will definitely save that woman!"

"Dr. Hu is just a doctor, not a deity! The woman is already dead, how can she be saved?"

The crowd began to murmur, and the nurses made way for Hu Ke to enter.

‘Damn it, it's this woman again, why is she everywhere!’ Wang Baofu stared at Hu Ke's slender figure, jealousy burning in his heart.

"Dr. Hu, there's someone causing trouble here, claiming he can bring a dead patient back to life. It's ridiculous, it's simply impossible," the young doctor said, a hint of wickedness in his eyes upon seeing Hu Ke. The fact that Hu Ke was a female zombie was unknown to everyone else. Especially in the eyes of the young doctor, Hu Ke was undeniably beautiful.

"Oh?" Hu Ke raised an eyebrow, extending a hand to touch the woman. "Indeed, there seems to be no hope for revival."

"See!" The young doctor immediately shouted. Wang Baofu's expression also eased slightly. He thought to himself, at least this Dr. Hu was finally talking sense.

The man fell into complete despair. Even Dr. Hu had given up hope. How could he possibly...

"Whether she is dead or not is not for you to say," Qin Chao emerged from behind the man and calmly said, "Only I can decide that."

"Oh?" Hu Ke lifted her head to see the young man opposite her. Her eyes suddenly brightened. Almost involuntarily, she revealed a smile.

"If you say she's not dead, then she's not dead."

"Wow!"

The crowd was in an uproar. Dr. Hu's words had never been contradicted before! How could it be that suddenly, because of one man, her words could be overturned?

A dead person, how could a dead person possibly come back to life?

The doctors and nurses present were dumbfounded. Doctor Hu was actually smiling! In the hospital, Hu Ke was known to be as icy as a glacier. No matter who attempted to curry favor with her, she had never laughed.

But now, because of this man, who seemed like a madman, she was actually smiling.

And moreover, she had changed her own viewpoint for him!

Incredible!

Especially that young doctor, looking at Qin Chao, his eyes brimmed with resentment.

Who was that man, exactly?

Wang Baofu's small eyes also narrowed. A man who could change Doctor Hu's perspective, could he possibly have some real skills?

Impossible! He quickly reassured himself. This woman was as dead as could be. Her internal organs were shattered, her blood vessels were a mess.

Especially her brain, it had spilled out. How could it possibly be put back in!

"Hu Ke, give me ten minutes, I'll handle this," Qin Chao held up a finger again.

"Alright, I'll give you ten minutes," Hu Ke nodded.

"Dr. Hu, you're acting reckless!" Wang Baofu coldly huffed, "This hospital isn't a place for you to have the final say. If something goes wrong, who's going to take responsibility?"

"I will," Hu Ke replied calmly.

"This..." Wang Baofu hadn't expected Hu Ke to agree so quickly, he blinked, trying to think of something else to say.

"Scram!" But Qin Chao suddenly stepped forward, landing a slap on his chest.

Qin Chao, having practiced demonic techniques, naturally didn't have the best of tempers. This Wang Baofu had angered him time and again. A single slap was already going easy on him.

Qin Chao's strength, even if minimally controlled, was formidable. Wang Baofu's plump body arced through the air, flying over twenty meters, and crashed onto the other side of the hospital.

Qin Chao's slap was measured; it only sent him flying, causing a bit of pain without any serious injury.

Even so, everyone present was stunned.

This man, such immense strength!

Wang Baofu, who must have weighed over 150 pounds, was sent flying with a single slap?

With the annoying pest dealt with, Qin Chao dusted off his hands and walked to the woman's side.

The young doctor swallowed, unconsciously taking a few steps back. This man was terrifying, he was lucky he hadn't said too much to anger him earlier.

Qin Chao gathered his vital energy, silently running the Diamond Sutra, then placed both palms on the woman's body.

After advancing to the middle stage of Divine Power, Qin Chao could seamlessly switch between the two types of techniques within his body. The Buddhist technique was exceptionally powerful in healing.

Especially the Diamond Sutra, which strengthened the physical body. This woman's body was a complete mess, so Qin Chao used the Buddhist technique combined with his vital energy to realign the woman's physical form.

This process seemed simple, but it was extremely complex. The vital energy required was also vast. Without the demonic core within Qin Chao, the effort to realign a person's body would have been enormous.

In the embrace of Qin Chao's vital energy, the woman's internal organs gradually began to regenerate like bamboo shoots sprouting after a spring rain. Her shattered brain, too, was healing continually.

But repairing the physical body was only the initial process. After Qin Chao finished the repairs, he underwent soul separation, his entire consciousness floating outside his body.

After entering the Divine Power stage, this was the second time that Qin Chao performed soul separation.

At that moment, two black lights flashed in the void, revealing two ghost messengers clad in black, holding steel forks under the woman's soul.

Simultaneously, another ghost messenger was about to place a lock chain around the woman's neck.

"Could the two ghost messengers please wait a moment?" Qin Chao cupped his hands towards them and said.

"Who?" The sudden appearance of Qin Chao startled the two ghost messengers.

Even as ghosts, they were still so timid. The chain that one of the ghost messengers was about to place dropped with a clatter to the ground.

"Gentlemen, ghost messengers, there's no need to be alarmed," Qin Chao gestured, "I only wish to negotiate with you two to retrieve this woman's soul. Please show some leniency."

"Damn, where did this ghost come from!" The ghost messenger who dropped the chain patted his chest, picked up the Soul-Locking Chain, and his face returned to its menacing look, "You came out of nowhere and gave me a fright! Fine, since you're also a ghost, you should come along with us!"

Saying that, he aimed the Soul-Locking Chain at Qin Chao.
