Chapter 157
“That’s the end of this matter! Anyone who brings it up again will be fired straight away!”
As Dean Yang’s last words fell, this matter was only completely over.
“What are you going to do next?”
On the way back to the office, Qin Bing asked Lin Ran.
“I haven’t thought about it yet, but I’ll think about it!”
Lin Ran said.
“Have you thought about opening your own clinic?”
Qin Bing suddenly asked, somewhat embarra*sed to see Lin Ran casting a suspicious look.
“I just don’t want to do it here either, if you open a clinic, I’ll definitely go and join you!”
“Join me? My salary there can’t compare to here!”
Lin Ran laughed bitterly, it wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about it, but what mattered most right now was his parents’ affairs and the murderer behind the five poisons.
“You think I care about the salary?”
Qin Bing said in mock anger, then remembered something and hurriedly said.
“By the way, there’s something I must tell you, there’s a mole in the Chinese medicine department! The one who betrayed you for not being at the hospital every day!”
“I know this!”
Lin Ran nodded his head.
“You know? Who did it!”
Qin Bing asked in a cold voice
Lin Ran, however, shook his head.
“Forget it, we’re leaving anyway!”
“No, as someone from the TCM department actually betrayed you, this kind of person must be found out!”
Qin Bing said indignantly.
Lin Ran shook his head helplessly, and then said.
“I’m going to go pack my things, you can investigate yourself if you want!”
After saying that, Lin Ran went back to his office alone.
The news that Lin Ran was leaving had already spread back to the Chinese Medicine Department, Li Zheng and Liu Wenjuan, as well as some other nurses, had been waiting outside the office for a long time, and when they saw Lin Ran return, each had reluctance in their eyes.
“Director Lin!”
Li Zheng was the first to speak, and several other nurses also had tears in their eyes.
“Don’t be like this, there is no such thing as a happy ending in life, so let’s get together for good!”
Lin Ran laughed.
“Right! Director Lin is right!”
Liu Wenjuan said with red eyes, then she glanced at the few people on her side and said with some shame.
“Director Lin, I’m sorry, there was a mole among us in this matter too, she has no face to come and see you!”
“Hmm! It’s alright, it’s human nature, I can understand!”
Lin Ran smiled indifferently, whoever didn’t come already spoke for themselves, he didn’t want to pursue this as these matters didn’t mean anything to him at all.
“Alright, you guys have a good job, we’ll see you again later!”
Lin Ran laughed, and then went to pack his things.
In fact, he didn’t know that among these people, Li Zheng actually wanted to leave with him, this guy was born into a Chinese medicine family and could be said to be half a Chinese medicine nerd, he didn’t care about money at all, all he cared about was learning more about the art of Chinese medicine.
And Liu Wenjuan actually wanted to leave with Lin Ran, but she still needed to work, so ….
Lin Ran left in a very low profile, hardly many people knew when he left.
When he left, Lin Ran was only carrying a bag of miscellaneous items and nothing else, because pressed he didn’t have much luggage.
……
That evening, at the Elegant Fragrance Hotel, Luo Qiqi, Qin Bing, and Song Nuan, the three women held an exit dinner together for Lin Ran.
The three women were very happy to see the three beautiful women on the table, but Lin Ran could not help but feel a sense of regret.
Thinking about the miserable situation when he first graduated and then looking at the present, Lin Ran was actually quite content in his heart, but the only thing that kept him at ease was the matter of his parents, his grandmother who was already living in the mountain village.
“Once I’ve settled down, I’ll make a trip home!”
Lin Ran had made up his mind, he would not force his grandmother to come and live in the city, but he could not watch her suffer in the mountain village either, he had to do something about it.
“By the way! What are your plans?”
Luo Qiqi asked as she ate, she was undoubtedly the happiest person when Lin Ran left his job, her family was big and arranging a position to facilitate herself at the same time was simply a matter of nodding her head.
“Haven’t thought about it yet!”
Lin Ran smiled and shook his head, regarding his future plans, he indeed hadn’t thought about it.
“Wouldn’t it be good for you to just do as I say?”
Qin Bing said as he put down his chopsticks.
“I suggest he open a clinic, so he at least has something to do during the weekdays, and it doesn’t interfere with his own business!”
“Hmm! I think it’s fine too!”
Luo Qiqi nodded her head in agreement.
“Right, and I can also quit my job to help you when the time comes, it definitely won’t hold you back from your own business!”
Qin Bing took a stand.
“Yes, yes, and me too, in the future, our Luo family employees are designated to go to your clinic for medical treatment!”
Luo Qiqi also laughed.
Both of them were clear about each other’s thoughts in their hearts, but they were both girlfriends who didn’t want to make it clear in case everyone was embarra*sed, so they could only support Lin Ran in this way.
“What about you?”
Song Nuan asked as she looked at Lin Ran.
“I’m actually all right, I just don’t have the right place!”
Lin Ran said with a smile, being spoken to by these two ninnies, it seemed like he really had to open a clinic, but according to his character, he would most likely be a throwaway again.
“A place is not a trivial matter, I can find you a very good place in ten minutes!”
Luo Qiqi said confidently.
Lin Ran, however, shook his head.
“There’s no rush on this, just take your time!”
“Alright then, call me anytime if you need me!”
Luo Qiqi said, and Lin Ran nodded at his words.
The meal lasted until midnight, before everyone left.
Lin Ran took Song Nuan straight home to his house, this nee-san didn’t say anything, it seemed that no matter what Lin Ran did, he was at ease.
After arriving home at night, Lin Ran was ready to go straight to bed, but then he found Song Nuan, this nee-san, fiddling with a map since she came back, which was very strange.
“Why did you get the map of the hotel back?”
Lin Ran asked, puzzled.
“It’s a nice looking map, and Kiki said she gave it to me, so I brought it back!”
Song Nuan said with a smile.
Lin Ran was speechless as he listened, other people would bring leftover rice or take chopsticks and cutlery with them, but this girl was good enough to bring back a map.
“Come on, hang it up for me!”
Song Nuan said, just now she had been working for half a day but couldn’t hang it up, at this moment a man appeared, she naturally wouldn’t miss it.
“Alright!”
Lin Ran had no choice and helped hang the map up.
However, when hanging the map, Lin Ran was the one who noticed that the map was actually a city map, that is, a map of Temperance City, at first he thought it was a province map, but he didn’t expect it to be a city map.
“Look, this is where we live!”
Song Nuan took out a water pen and drew a circle around the place where the two of them lived.
Lin Ran looked around and found that the surrounding area was then once for Temperance University’s, Temperance Hospital, and some other places he had been to.
But he had been to so many places himself that every place on the map seemed to feel like he had been there.
“Let me try!”
Lin Ran took the water pen and marked each of Song Nuan’s house, Xiao Nan’s house, and Shen Ying’s as well as Li Wan’s.
“What are all these places?”
Song Nuan asked in surprise.
“They are all places where the five poisons appear!”
Lin Ran said.
Song Nuan drew in a breath of cold air at his words, but then she realized that the four dots on the map did not show any pattern at all, and were even arranged in a very disorganized manner.
“Can you tell where the fifth dot will appear?”
Song Nuan asked.
“I don’t know!”
Lin Ran shook his head.
Four of the five poisons had appeared, and the only one that hadn’t appeared yet was the last three-eyed devil toad.
Chapter 158
The next morning, Song Nuan still went to cla*s. She had originally arranged to go out for a night out, but because of Lin Ran’s sudden resignation, it was a complete bust.
But luckily, Lin Ran promised to take another one once he had settled down.
The first day away from work was more or less uncomfortable, and Lin Ran sat alone on the sofa to sort out all the clues he had so far.
The only thing Lin Ran could hope for at the moment was Song Yujiang, hoping that he could find out where Wang Kun, his son, was.
The only thing that Lin Ran could hope for at the moment was Song Yujiang, hoping that he would be able to find out where Wang Kun’s son was. On the other hand, there might still be clues on his grandmother’s side, but for the time being Lin Ran was not considering it.
“DING RING ….”
As he was thinking, his phone suddenly remembered, picking it up and seeing that it was Luo Qiqi calling, Lin Ran couldn’t help but smile.
“Hello! Little beauty, what’s up?”
“Come over here soon, I’ve found a place for you, four hundred square metres is big enough, the centre of human traffic, an absolutely great shop!”
On the phone, Luo Qiqi said excitedly, obviously very satisfied with this shop she had found.
However, Lin Ran was a little speechless and said.
“Little beauty, I run a clinic, not a shopping mall, are you finding me a four hundred square meter shop to sell clothes on the side?”
“Er ….”
Luo Qiqi was a little embarra*sed, but soon she laughed.
“It’s okay, there are others I’m looking for, there’s one that’s over two hundred square meters, that’s enough right!”
“Well, that’s more or less the same!”
Lin Ran said, while getting up and cleaning up a bit, he rushed over towards where Luo Qiqi was.
People were so enthusiastic, so he couldn’t be too indifferent.
Following the place Luo Qiqi said, Lin Ran soon arrived at a busy street.
According to the location from memory, this should belong to a street near a university town, and university students often frequented this place on a regular basis, so the flow of people was not bad.
“Over here! Over here!”
Just as he reached the place, Lin Ran heard Luo Qiqi’s voice.
“Why is it in a place like this?”
Lin Ran frowned slightly, in fact, he didn’t like this kind of overly busy place, especially where the crowd of university students gathered, selling medicine here, I’m afraid it wasn’t as good as selling couples’ health products.
“How nice this place is, so much foot traffic, it must be a million dollar profit!”
Luo Qiqi laughed.
“Yes, yes! That’s for sure, if it weren’t for my family commitments, this shop would definitely not be rented out!”
The owner-like middle-aged man chimed in from the side.
This person did not give Lin Ran a good impression, with narrow cheeks, a collapsed nose, and crucially, very ugly teeth, just like a rat, really answering the phrase, thieving eyebrows and rat eyes.
“Let’s take a look first!”
Lin Ran was not in a hurry and then said, before following Luo Qiqi and Liang Shi into the shop.
The entire shop was not large, just over two hundred square metres, which was perfectly adequate for a clinic, and there was even extra space for a pharmacy.
As soon as he entered the shop, Lin Ran felt a strong aura of resentment come over him, while even the air carried a faint fishy smell.
“Why does it smell so bad!”
Luo Qiqi frowned in the same way and rushed out at the first opportunity, the smell inside was just too pungent.
“Unpleasant smell? Why don’t I feel it!”
Liang Shi said beside again, as the boss of the place he must have said so.
“You go get two masks first, the smell is so strong we definitely can’t get in!”
Lin Ran said.
Liang Shi was a bit reluctant, seeing this, Luo Qiqi spoke up.
“Are you going or not, if not we won’t rent this house!”
“Yes! I’ll go, I’m going!”
Liang Shi hurriedly nodded his head and ran down after him, jokingly, this house had been empty for three years, if he didn’t rent it out again he would have to lose his life.
“There’s something wrong with this house!”
As soon as Liang Shi had gone downstairs, Lin Ran turned his head and said to Luo Qiqi.
“Problems? What problem?”
Luo Qiqi was puzzled and said.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the house except that it smells bad!”
“Do you know what this place was used for before?”
Lin Ran said.
“What was it for? Is it hard for you to guess?”
Luo Qiqi was curious.
“It’s not guessing, it’s speculating, this place should have been a small hotel before!”
Lin Ran said with a clear mind.
“No way, over two hundred square feet to open a hotel? How compact that must be!”
Luo Qiqi expressed her disbelief.
Lin Ran didn’t mind and laughed.
“Just ask him when he comes back later!”
As he spoke, Liang Shi had already bought two masks and returned, which Lin Ran and Luo Qiqi put on separately, before entering the shop again.
“Boss Liang, what did you do in your shop before?”
As soon as he entered the shop, Lin Ran asked.
Boss Liang frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment before he smiled and said.
“To tell you the truth, this place was a hotel before, but then it was demolished because of the strict control!”
Lin Ran nodded at his words, and Luo Qiqi, who was on the side, also came over in surprise before asking in a low voice.
“How do you know that!”
“You’ll find out later!”
Lin Ran bought a shut up before looking at Liang Shi and said.
“Boss Liang, with all due respect to your house here, the foul Qi and grievances are too heavy, I’m afraid that if we open a clinic here, we won’t be able to cure people and they’ll die, we can’t rent this house!”
“What the hell?”
Liang Shi smiled and said with a sullen face.
“Little brother, let’s buy and sell, it’s fine if you don’t rent my house, but it’s your fault for saying that, I’ll have to rent this house in the future!”
“There’s nothing wrong with that, I’m just telling the truth!”
Lin Ran’s expression was bland, and Luo Qiqi, who was at the side, saw Liang Shi’s ugly face and hurried to persuade him.
“Forget it, since we’re not renting it, we’ll look at another place!”
He said and was about to pull Lin Ran away.
“Stop!”
Liang Shi dared not, and directly closed the door of the room with a “snap”, before looking at Lin Ran with an unkind face and saying.
“Kid, you can not rent the house, but to ruin the reputation of this house of mine, today you must draw a path for Laozi, or else I will make you not be able to walk out of this street.”
Lin Ran saw this and revealed a bland smile and said.
“I wonder what kind of dao boss Liang wants!”
“Don’t give me all these falsehoods, if you say that there is something wrong with my house, then show me the evidence, or else I’ll get you killed today!”
Liang Shi said with a roll up of his sleeves, revealing the tattoo on his arm, as if to imply something. ,
“Haha!”
Lin Ran couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at Liang Shi before saying.
“Fine, since you want to know, then I’ll tell you!”
Said Lin Ran, raising his hand and pointing at the floor of the room, before his voice faintly said.
“In the past, I’m afraid that this place was not just a simple hotel, but a hotel that was specially prepared for abortions, am I right?”
“What?”
Luo Qiqi was dumbfounded at his words, a hotel specially prepared for abortions, wouldn’t that be a murder hotel.
Hearing Lin Ran’s words, Liang Shi’s entire face instantly changed, he looked at Lin Ran with a gloomy face and said.
“What are you talking about, this is just an ordinary hotel!”
“Is that so?”
Lin Ran wore a cold smile and then said.
“Why are you nervous about an ordinary hotel? And don’t think I don’t know that at least three people have died in this shop before!”
