"Hey, I mean, with things like this, you still have the heart to mop the floor?"
Duan Chen thought Wu Suowei was just going through the motions, but he didn't expect him to actually start mopping with all seriousness!
Meticulously, so rigorous that not a single corner was missed, he was more dedicated than any cleaner.
"Of course, this is the duty of a temporary worker, I must adhere to it." Wu Suowei nodded stiffly.
"...Weirdo." Duan Chen shook his head.
But it made sense. The last time he worked as a temporary delivery driver, he also approached it with the same meticulous attitude and helped him complete three orders.
God must be very bored.
That's why he enjoyed experiencing life so much.
Thinking of this, Duan Chen couldn't help but smile as he looked at Wu Suowei's hunched figure while mopping.
He opened his phone to check. Besides the usual updates from Old Zhang and Gao Tiankai, there were also messages of concern from Mi Xueer and Qin Ze, which gave him a sense of warmth.
The sudden death of Zhong Xingwen had become the latest headline, pushing the Zhong family back into the spotlight. From Zhong Yu's face, there was no sign of sadness.
Besides that, there was also a message from Li's father—
[Great kindness needs no thanks. I was wrong in the past. I will take my youngest daughter back to recuperate. If you still have feelings, I will not object anymore.]
Duan Chen put away his phone expressionlessly.
He saved Li Wei out of a sense of duty, not personal affection.
That relationship had long been in the past.
Next, it was about the bullet...
—"Time is running out, Chen'er, Chen'er... I miss you so much!"
Duan Chen jolted.
The words from his dream had just flashed through his mind! He shook his head hard, dispelling the voices.
"What's wrong?" Wu Suowei straightened up, sensing Duan Chen's unease acutely.
"Nothing, I think I heard some phantom sounds."
"Hmph, the temptations of an evil god. That's its specialty, using such base tricks." Wu Suowei snorted coldly.
"Got it."
But Duan Chen harbored a doubt: if the evil god's apostle didn't know about his mother, how could they impersonate her to tempt him?
He and Wu Suowei walked towards the door side by side, planning to find Gu Sang first to figure out who fired the shot.
As they reached the door, a beautiful nurse walked past.
She had a graceful figure, tall and well-proportioned. The nurse's uniform on her was as pure as an angel fallen to earth. Especially her long, slender legs under the nurse's skirt, wrapped in sheer black stockings, where purity and allure instantly collided with a wonderful spark.
It made one exclaim: black stockings are yyds.
Duan Chen and Wu Suowei couldn't help but cast their gazes simultaneously. This was the respect due to an exceptionally beautiful woman.
The nurse's almond-shaped eyes, like autumn water, landed on Duan Chen's face. As their gazes met, her cheeks suddenly flushed, and she shyly ran away.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're still as popular as ever."
Wu Suowei patted Duan Chen's shoulder and went off to busy himself with the mop first.
The nurse hadn't gone far when a furtive figure followed her from behind. Duan Chen immediately recognized the shadowy figure by his robust build.
"Gu Sang?"
Gu Sang turned his head and saw Duan Chen also wearing a hospital gown. He looked surprised, but quickly shushed him.
The nurse heard the sound and looked back—
In a flash, Gu Sang unleashed a powerful burst of strength, shoving Duan Chen back into the room and forcefully closing the door.
The nurse looked at the empty corridor, let out a strange "yi," and continued walking away.
Duan Chen was pressed against the wall, almost unable to breathe. He patted Gu Sang's body, as hard as iron walls and as firm as bronze. Only then did Gu Sang grudgingly release him.
"You? You recognize me??"
Gu Sang looked Duan Chen up and down. This person looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place him.
"Senior agent of the Spirit Hunter Guild, my name is Duan Chen." Duan Chen politely and elegantly extended his hand.
Gu Sang looked enlightened.
"So you're an agent from the guild. With that stingy salary the Spirit Hunter Guild gives, can you afford to be in this hospital?"
Duan Chen twitched his lips, feeling a pang of sadness.
Fortunately, Zhong Yu, grateful for him exposing Zhong Xingwen, had said he could stay in the hospital for free, otherwise he might not have been able to afford it.
"Alright, that kid Gao Tiankai told me you're investigating a bullet?"
"Yes." Duan Chen reached into his pocket and took out the specially made copper bullet. Just as he was about to hand it over, Gu Sang waved him away.
"Now is not the time to talk."
Duan Chen saw how nervous he was, constantly glancing outside, as if chasing someone.
"Let me tell you, I've taken a liking to a nurse in this hospital who wears black stockings. If you can help me ask her out on a date, I'll help you. Otherwise, you can go to our organization, queue up, and go through the proper procedures. The line to see me about weapons is already booked until next month."
Gu Sang chuckled, his eyes full of schemes.
Duan Chen suddenly understood. The nurse who had just passed by was the one Gu Sang was interested in.
She was indeed beautiful and alluring.
"Dating is something you should do yourself, isn't it? Are you sure you want me to ask her for you?"
Duan Chen didn't want to be mistaken for some perverted stalker.
"Don't think I don't know you have divine pupils. You can see through people's thoughts. The world says a woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, but with your mind-reading ability, isn't it just like a piece of paper? This ability is perfect for charming girls. I'm fine with fighting and killing, but when it comes to someone I like, I'm tongue-tied."
Gu Sang sighed, looking enviously at Duan Chen's eyes.
"...That's not untrue."
"So this is a piece of cake for you. We do what we're good at, isn't that good?" Gu Sang urged, "Decide quickly, she'll be gone soon!"
"Okay, it's a deal."
Duan Chen nodded and asked, "What's that nurse's name?"
"...I don't know yet." Gu Sang showed a shy and bashful expression.
"...You don't even know her name?" Duan Chen rubbed his forehead speechlessly.
The two pushed open the door and walked towards the third-floor nurse's station, one after the other.
Soon, Duan Chen arrived at the nurse's station. Gu Sang hid outside the door like a peeping tom, but his robust physique couldn't be hidden at all.
"Hello, excuse me, is the nurse who wears black stockings here?"
Duan Chen gave the head nurse, Zhang Yuxiu, who was at the desk, a charming smile.
"Oh, which one are you referring to? Xiao Qing? She should be in the dispensing room."
"Okay, thank you."
Duan Chen turned and walked towards the dispensing room, with Gu Sang sneakily following behind.
"What did she say?"
"She said the woman you're interested in is named Xiao Qing."
Gu Sang immediately looked lovestruck, muttering, "Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing..."
The two soon arrived at the dispensing room, and Gu Sang hid again.
Duan Chen knocked on the door of the room, feeling speechless.
"Who is it?" a clear voice sounded, and a beautiful nurse opened the door.
