Chapter 551

Han Fei and his team members took a cab to Perfection Plastic Surgery Hospital. He was very curious about the hospital. He had been meaning to visit the place but had no good excuse.

“Leader, why are we coming here to meet the client?” Brother Fake Plant was confused as the car drove into more deserted streets. He assumed they were meeting the client at familiar places like a hotel or restaurant.

“Today’s client is rather special. Be on your best behavior, and try not to speak.” Fu Yi used to meet the clients alone. This time, he suddenly decided to bring all of them. His teammates couldn’t help but wonder why. The hospital was situated on a higher elevation. They had to walk for some time after the cab dropped them off. They reached the gate after passing through a well-manicured garden.

“Do you have an appointment?” The guard came to stop Han Fei. He looked at them in confusion. “Are you… here for hair transplant?”

“Wait a minute. I’ll make a call.” Han Fei took out his phone and used his smurf to send a message to Du Zhu. About three minutes later, a nurse rushed over. “I’m sorry, but which one of you is Fu Yi?”

“I am.”

“Please come with me to Building One.”

Han Fei and his teammates were about to move forward when the nurse stopped. “How about you have your friends wait outside? I was notified to bring you alone.”

“This hospital is quite mysterious.” Lee Guo Er groused. She leaned towards Han Fei. “Leader, how about we just leave and find another solution?”

“I’ll go in to take a look. Make sure that we stay in contact.” Han Fei told them. Many people had died here. Du Zhu couldn’t be a kind person. Han Fei followed the nurse into the hospital. Han Fei compared the place with the map provided by Shen Luo. He paid special attention to patients with bandaged faces. The hospital was huge. It was unclear why this hospital had left such a bad impression on Fu Sheng. Han Fei walked down the corridor, and he felt chilled.

Han Fei took the elevator to the fourth floor. Du Zhu stayed here. The center of the building was carved out and made into a sky garden.

“Please wait here.” After the nurse left, Han Fei walked to the window and looked out. The richest clients stayed in Building One. Building One almost looked the most like a plastic surgery hospital. There were a few more buildings further in, but they looked decrepit. ‘This place looks more like a mental hospital than a plastic surgery hospital. The inside buildings are separated from the outside buildings.’

Han Fei memorized the general layout of the hospital with his fantastic memory. He marked down the strange locales in his mind. ‘Generally speaking, the hospital is safer during the day. I don’t see any strange staff.’

Han Fei narrowed his eyes. He wanted to look into the other buildings, but all the wards were curtained off. Shadows were moving about, but it was impossible to tell what they were doing.

“Mr. Fu, please come with me.” The nurse led Han Fei through the sky garden to the other corridor. The decoration here was not luxurious but warm and clean. Walking down it, one would be ‘healed’.

“CEO Du asks you to go in directly.” The nurse stopped and signaled Han Fei to enter. Han Fei pushed open the wooden door. A light fragrance drifted out. The temperature inside was slightly higher than outside. It was very comfortable. Relaxing music danced in the wind. There was even a burbling brook.

Han Fei pulled back the drapes, and a pair of perfect legs appeared before him. His instinct was to retreat. Such a pair of perfect legs would be made into an exhibit in the cryptic world.

“Why did you come looking for me?” A woman’s voice rang inside the room. It was lazy, as if nothing could grab her interest. Compared to her perfect body, the woman’s voice was common. Her throat appeared to be injured because her voice was strange.

“It’s about the company.”

“Come closer. I can’t hear you.” The woman who lay behind the drapes raised her arm. She tickled her finger. The workers around her retreated. They exited the room and closed the door.

“Then I shall be louder.” Han Fei didn’t dare to move too far from the door. “The game I am working on has the potential to be popular, but the progress is jammed. I believe you’d be interested in this game, so I think…” “It doesn’t matter what you think.” The water gurgled behind the drapes. Soon, a woman in loose attire walked out. Her face was impossibly beautiful, her skin flawless. From afar, she had a gentlewoman’s aura, but there was an impregnable arrogance in her eyes. Xia Yilan in real life was already very beautiful, but she was nothing compared to this woman. Her face was inhumanely beautiful.

“You’d stare at me every time, but every time you’d leave without hesitation.” The woman sat on the sofa near the drapes. She didn’t mind that her skin was showing. “When I was young, my father had a hunting hound. It only obeyed my father and refused to answer to me. Not long after that, my father’s favorite hound died on his favorite hunting ground.”

Han Fei could tell that this woman was different from the others. The others at least had once loved Fu Yi, but this woman never cared about Fu Yi. She didn’t love Fu Yi. She merely treated him as an interesting toy. She wanted to keep this interesting toy to herself, but the toy refused to stay with her. Fu Yi kept playing around and refused to submit to his role as a ‘toy’.

“The dog only obeyed your father. It means that it was loyal.” Han Fei wanted to leave. He knew he wouldn’t persuade this woman. She looked to be the stubborn and conceited type.

“Everyone loves a loyal dog. I want one too.” The woman opened her purse to pull out a scarf. She removed a priceless ring from her finger and looped the scarf through it. “I’ve heard what happened from Zhao Qian. Your problem can be easily solved.” The woman tied the ends of the scarf together. She looked at the makeshift collar. The ring glowed like a dog’s bell.

“Many problems in this world can be solved by money. I can help you become the main designer of Immortal again, isn’t that your life’s dream? Your talent shouldn’t be overlooked.”

“Immortal is my dream?”

“Think about what you really love, and then tell me what you should do.” The woman crossed her legs and dropped the scarf beside her. The collar-like scarf dropped beside the woman’s legs. The pristine gem glowed on the soft rug. What should one do in this situation?

Han Fei didn’t anticipate this. He knew that the mission would be more difficult after he rejected Du Zhu, but submitting to Du Zhu was very dangerous too. Han Fei looked into the woman’s eyes and pondered. ‘Du Zhu is powerful and rich. She is a regular at the hospital and is deeply connected to this place. If I get the other players to help me kidnap her, maybe I can force her to give up the hospital’s secrets?’ Han Fei planned to use the other players to stir up the world. If he had entered the memory world alone, he would never do something so risky, but since there were other players, they could help share the risks. The only thing he needed to consider was whether kidnapping Du Zhu would accelerate the world’s mutation. Du Zhu was a crucial character in Fu Sheng’s memory world and might be a Pure Hatred.

Du Zhu noticed the complication in Han Fei’s eyes when Han Fei was thinking. She smiled beautifully, and venom crossed her eyes. She had already prepared the rest of the plan. She would make those who betrayed her suffer a fate worse than death. She would break Fu Yi’s mind, ruin his family, make him into an obedient toy before destroying him. She had to be the one who ruined others, but Fu Yi betrayed her by maintaining contact with seven women. Du Zhu’s hatred started to go out of control. Han Fei was very sensitive to danger. Han Fei was a master at reading microexpressions. He knew Du Zhu meant great harm, and the worst part was the hatred was not only directed at Han Fei.

Han Fei shook his head. “Give me some time to consider.” Du Zhu had no idea Han Fei was actually considering kidnapping her.

“How much longer do you need?” Du Zhu stepped on the diamond ring. “You have a good wife and a perfect family, but you know better than I do how dirty things are underneath. I can give you time, but you have to understand that certain things can’t be hidden for long.”

“What do you mean?”

“When the outside world knows of your mistakes, your family can’t pretend that certain things haven’t happened. They might fall ill or seek escape using suicide.” The threat was clear. Du Zhu was very likely to destroy Han Fei’s family or worse. The other women only hated Fu Yi, but they never wanted to harm Fu Yi’s wife and children. Du Zhu was different.

“In that case, please don’t blame me.” Han Fei wanted to play along, but now he had changed his mind. He picked up the mirror on the table. He walked to the sunless corner and looked at his own reflection. When he saw a womanly figure appear in the mirror, he placed the mirror before Du Zhu. “You have the perfect figure and face. You are the world’s most beautiful person.”

“It sounds like you’ve made your decision.” Du Zhu smiled prettily.

“Unfortunately, you are worse than the other women I know. Each one of them is more attractive than you.” Han Fei looked at Du Zhu’s face. “For you, beauty is everything, but for them, beauty is only one of the things interesting about them.”

Du Zhu was stunned, but slowly her emotions started to fray. Thin red lines surfaced underneath her skin, looking like cracks.

“Look at yourself in the mirror. After all, that’s all you have left.” Han Fei left the room. After a few seconds, he heard the mirror shatter.

‘So what if she’s a Pure Hatred? It’s not like I haven’t kidnapped one before. The white shoes’ kindness is my brother.’ Han Fei mumbled internally. He didn’t want to do this. His most imminent mission was to lower the women’s hatred and rectify Fu Sheng’s regret. ‘Qiang Wei is a numbered orphan. It should be easy for him to kidnap a normal person with his ability before the world mutates. Even after Du Zhu becomes a Pure Hatred, Qiang Wei will be able to escape safely.’

Han Fei trusted Qiang Wei. ‘After all, the players wouldn’t really die in the memory w. They’lly’ll only lose part of their memory. After I take control of the altar, we can leave together. I’m only trying to save them.’ Before Han Fei convinced Qiang Wei, he had already convinced himself.

Han Fei didn’t hurry to leave after he exited Building One. He slowly approached Building Two, pretending to be lost.

As he was about to enter Building Two, he saw a masked doctor walk out. The doctor held a bloody bandage, and he looked nervous.
