The hospital lobby on the first floor.

A rare crowd gathered, and at first glance, someone unaware might think there had been a major accident. However, upon squeezing in, it was clear it wasn't that kind of situation; it wasn't an uprising over medical issues, nor was it an emergency.

No corpses, no bloodstains, no fake mourning on the surface. Actually, it was chaotic opportunism, and no doctors were assaulted; in short, the reality was very different from what they had imagined.

In the space circled amidst the crowd was a young girl, both angry and anxious, loudly saying something to a group of hospital personnel facing her.

Behind the girl was a row of chairs leaning against the hospital wall. A pale-faced, vacant-eyed man sat there, shivering as if he were trembling.

Several medical staff surrounded him, hurriedly carrying out various checks, worried to death, fearing something might have gone wrong. But things seemed fine, just a fright; he himself had no major issues.

Some hospital personnel were also trying hard to disperse the crowd, but the effort was largely ineffective. Despite their exhausted persuasion attempts, the crowd only grew larger rather than dissipating. After all, people are naturally curious; it's an unavoidable situation, and they couldn't forcefully drive people away.

"You're saying your hospital isn't at fault?! Then why did this happen? Tell me! How could a perfectly healthy man be confined to such a place!"

The girl named Xiao Li glanced back, her eyes showing obvious heartache. Then she turned back around, angrily placing her hands on her hips, loudly saying—

"Luckily, my boyfriend is fine, but your hospital also holds a huge responsibility, right? The facts are clear, and you still want to shirk responsibility?!"

"Miss, please calm down first. We don't intend to avoid responsibility..." A director whose hair was noticeably thinning but whose Mediterranean hairstyle highlighted his experience, smiled wryly. This situation was really unlucky, especially being on duty and about to clock out. Encountering such an event was truly exhausting.

However, upon hearing the girl's words, "Luckily, my boyfriend is fine," he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the girl was only anxious, not trying to exploit the situation for financial gain. If they could reach a consensus here, the matter would be much easier to resolve.

Of course, explanations still needed to be provided, especially in front of so many onlookers.

He racked his brain, carefully choosing his words: "What I mean is, our hospital's management in this regard is quite strict. The morgue is not a place for casual entry. If there's no corresponding business, entry is generally prohibited. We also don't know how this gentleman ended up inside..."

Among the onlookers, some who had just squeezed in heard a few words but couldn't understand what was going on. They captured a keyword and suddenly burst into discussion.

"The morgue?"

"What's going on? Someone was confined to the morgue?"

"Oh my, no wonder the young man is terrified, being locked in such a place, really..."

"But how did he get into such a place and got shut in? This is too strange, could it be that..."

Among the crowd, some whispered while others openly debated. Those who roughly understood the whole matter eagerly expressed their opinions, while newcomers gradually learned what had happened through the whispers around them.

Just a short while ago, the morgue on the third basement level of the hospital was silent. Despite the doors being locked, a terrifying scream suddenly emerged from inside, followed by banging on the doors, terrifying the patrolling security guards into feeling weak-legged.

Upon opening the door, of course, it wasn't a corpse uprising, but someone unknown had been shut inside, so frightened they were seemingly out of their wits... Finally bringing the person to the first floor lobby, afterward, the person's girlfriend rushed over, leading to the current scene.

It seemed the whole matter's sequence was simple enough, but upon further thought, it was riddled with doubts, adding a touch of mystery and atmosphere to the situation.

If, as the director said, entry is not allowed without business, how did the young man get there? If he opened the door himself, why was he locked in again? And if hospital personnel opened the door for him, why was he shut inside?

No matter which side caused it, logically speaking, there are many baffling aspects. Combined with the sight of the young man terrified, pale-faced, and speechless, many couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild.

"How about this, miss, let's talk in the office now... Whatever you want, we can cooperate, but please cooperate as well—is this alright?"
