Basement level minus one. Doctor Liu, his face pale as death, exited the elevator with a nervous expression.

"Director Wang, what we agreed on before was only to drug that beautiful young woman, then take her photograph so she wouldn't dare to report to the police, but now you're asking me to kill her?"

The corridor was desolate, not a soul in sight, and Doctor Liu's deliberately lowered voice became somewhat eerie.

Since the morgue was on this level, there was usually no one around on this floor unless a patient had died.

"I lured her down to level one and gave her the injection, but she resisted! She stabbed me with a fruit knife she carried on her, so she must die now!"

Director Wang's words turned Doctor Liu's face even paler, "Have you gone mad? This is murder! If caught, you could be sentenced to death!"

"We don't have a choice now. If she doesn't die, I'm finished. And if I go in, I won't be able to withstand the interrogation. I'll spill everything about us forging the documents for the patient's female family member and your selling off the patient's medication."

"By then, you'll be convicted, have your license revoked, your wife will divorce you, everyone will despise you, and you'll end up with nothing, so don't refuse my request,"

"Go kill her! I've trapped her in the basement's second level, in that number 3 specimen storage room. By now, the drug's effects should have taken hold, and you'll find it easy to do."

Doctor Liu, his face ashen, gritted his teeth and said, "Where are you? Let's go together!"

Director Wang, on the phone, replied, "I'm in my car, heading to the Medical University Second Hospital. I've been stabbed and am bleeding a lot."

Doctor Liu was surprised, "Why not go to Bikang?"

"Everyone at Bikang knows me. They will ask how I got injured. You go quickly, and remember, if I'm done for, so are you. We're in this together," replied Director Wang.

"All you need to do is kill her. Once I get back, we'll find a way to dispose of the body together. By then, it'll be as if she disappeared without a trace."

Doctor Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! Don't hang up the phone; I'm scared to go alone."

Director Wang replied through clenched teeth, "Hurry up, I've reached the parking lot of the Medical University Second Hospital, I'm bleeding right now and can't last much longer."

Doctor Liu nodded in agreement.

He then grimly proceeded to the second basement level.

The Bikang Comprehensive Hospital's second basement level.

It had previously been used for the storage of human specimens and as a storage area for dangerous materials.

But with privatization and development,

since there were no longer teaching subjects, human specimens were no longer made.

The hazardous materials had also been transferred to more professional and secure storage facilities.

So the entire second basement level of Bikang Comprehensive Hospital had long been abandoned.

Yet some basic amenities remained intact.

Like the lights.

The ventilation system.

Some storage room doors were perfectly normal, only covered in thick dust due to the absence of foot traffic on regular days.

Upon entering the corridor, and as Director Wang instructed, Doctor Liu turned on the lights.

On the floor, there were scattered footprints and specks of blood.

This brought Doctor Liu some relief; at least the blood stains confirmed that Director Wang wasn't deceiving him.

Arriving at the door of storage room number 3.

A thick iron door was secured from the outside with an old desk leg.

Feeling nervous, Doctor Liu removed the makeshift barricade and cautiously opened the door.

At a glance inside the storage room number 3, he froze on the spot.

Under the room's light, the young woman in a dress, clutching a small knife, was leaning against the wall, laying on her side.

But at this moment, she.

Under the lamplight, her beautiful face glowed with a peach blossom-like flush.

On the other end of the phone, Director Wang seemed somewhat surprised, urging, "What happened? Is she still there? Why are you hesitating? Go kill her, right now!"

Doctor Liu said blankly, "She's so pretty, so sexy, I want to sleep with her first, then kill her."

Director Wang was silent for a full three seconds before saying hatefully, "Do whatever you like, but she cannot live!"

Doctor Liu hung up the phone directly.

Then, with eyes full of excitement and tension, he approached the pretty young woman and said in a soft coo, "Little darling, I'm coming for you."

But just as he got close, with ragged breath and enticingly coy eyes, the young woman, forcing herself to remain rational, suddenly lashed out at him with the small knife in her hand.

"Don't touch me!"

Tumor Surgery.

Watching Doctor Liu enter the elevator and descend to the -1 floor,

Shen Qiang felt slightly surprised, but found nothing particularly abnormal.

Hospitals, after all.

Every day, some were born, and some died.

So, the fact that Doctor Liu was going to the morgue wasn't too hard to understand.

"I want Mommy, I want Mommy!" The little boy kept crying, causing the old lady heartache.

Shen Qiang smiled as he patted the boy's head, saying, "Be good, don't cry, your mommy will be back soon."

The old lady, feeling helpless, picked up the child and said, "Doctor Shen, it's time for the nurses to change his dressing, so I have to take the child back now. If you see my daughter-in-law, tell her to come back to the ward immediately. If the child keeps crying, his voice will become hoarse."

Shen Qiang smiled and agreed.

Afterward, Shen Qiang headed back to his office, preparing to leave for the day.

But just as he reached the door of the Tumor Surgery on-call room, he saw a doctor from the Tumor Internal Medicine hurriedly coming out of the on-call room.

"Xiao Shen, have you seen Director Wang?"

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow in surprise, "No, what do you need him for?"

The doctor from Tumor Internal Medicine frowned, "He's on duty tonight, and there's a patient with cirrhosis whose condition is off. I've looked all around and can't find him anywhere. This is really odd, the hospital has rules that you have to be on duty during duty hours, how could he not be here?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang frowned and said, "Maybe he's gone out to get something to eat."

"Impossible." The internal medicine doctor shook his head as he walked, "Someone saw him earlier, talking to a female patient's family member at the nurse station."

At this, Shen Qiang froze.

He then suddenly turned and headed straight for the elevator at the back.

The elevator was unused and still at the -1 level.

After pressing the button, Shen Qiang immediately went down to the -1 floor.

Upon arriving at the -1 floor.

Exiting the elevator.

He looked down the deserted corridor, where not a single soul could be seen.

Instinctively, Shen Qiang thought of heading towards the morgue.

Yet, he had only taken a few steps.

When the faint light from the staircase leading to the -2 floor faintly caught Shen Qiang's attention.
