728: Chapter 728 Something Happened in the Black Prison!
Ye Chen rubbed his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.
He really hadn't expected that he would one day become a big celebrity in the hospital.
Saving that patient with the ruptured tumor back then was purely because they were his old classmates; he couldn't let Yi Yue, who was their former teacher, be sad, nor could he let classmate Sophie be heartbroken, right?
As for that police officer who had stopped breathing... there was nothing else he could do.
That was Li Qin's brother; how could he just stand by and watch?
Furthermore... as a member of the Dragon Group, how could he watch a police officer die without helping?
But in the eyes of others, these actions became miraculous medical skills, becoming a legend of bringing the dead back to life.
"Dr. Zhou, you flatter me. I only know a little bit," Ye Chen said, waving his hand.
Zhou Shanxin shook his head repeatedly, looking very serious.
"Mr. Ye, you are too modest!"
"If you only know a little bit, then the rest of us can't even be considered to know the basics."
He paused, his gaze falling on Night Owl on the hospital bed, his eyes full of a desire for knowledge.
"Mr. Ye, have you found the cause of this patient's illness?"
Ye Chen nodded. "I have, and I've already treated her. She should be fine now."
Zhou Shanxin's eyes lit up suddenly.
"Then, Mr. Ye, what exactly was the patient's problem?"
Looking at his thirst for knowledge, Ye Chen sighed helplessly. "Dr. Zhou, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I can't explain it. Even if I did, you wouldn't understand."
Zhou Shanxin was stunned. Could it be that Mr. Ye felt his medical skills were too shallow?
Ye Chen continued, "This is not a problem within the scope of medicine; it belongs to another field."
Zhou Shanxin opened his mouth, wanting to ask something else. Just then, a faint groan came from the hospital bed.
Everyone's gaze turned toward it in unison.
Night Owl's eyelids fluttered, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
Those eyes, which were usually as sharp as knives, were now clouded with a layer of mist, staring blankly at the ceiling, as if trying to recall why she was lying there.
Zhou Shanxin froze in place. He looked down at the data on the ECG monitor.
Just a few seconds ago, that data was exactly the same as before, with no changes at all.
But after Ye Chen treated her, the patient actually woke up? This... is too magical!!!
He had only heard about it from his colleagues before, but now he had seen it with his own eyes!
Zhou Shanxin turned around abruptly, grabbed the medical chart at the end of the bed, and flipped through the dense check-up reports.
CT scan normal. MRI normal. EEG normal. Blood count normal.
All possible tests had been done, and all data showed that this patient had no issues. Yet, she just couldn't wake up.
He had searched through all the literature in neurology and couldn't find a single similar case.
He even brought the medical record out for discussion during a department consultation, and over a dozen doctors in the department studied it over and over again, only to arrive at one conclusion... the cause was unknown.
But now, Ye Chen had woken her up and said it wasn't within the scope of medicine. Could it be demonic possession?
As Zhou Shanxin thought about it, his gaze toward Ye Chen shifted from admiration to awe.
Ignoring his gaze, Ye Chen's eyes fell upon Night Owl. "Awake?"
Night Owl's pupils slowly focused as she looked at Ye Chen sitting by the bed, her eyes still a bit dazed, as if trying to identify who was in front of her.
"Ye... Chen?"
Ye Chen nodded. "It's me."
Night Owl's eyes suddenly sharpened. The next second, she sat up abruptly from the bed, grabbing Ye Chen's arm tightly with both hands.
"Ye Chen! Something happened at Black Prison!" "Someone... someone has controlled my master!"
Ye Chen's expression turned cold instantly. Black Prison. That was an overseas power he controlled personally, a global intelligence network and mercenary organization.
Ever since he killed the Lord of Black Prison, he had pushed Night Owl's master, Jessica, into that position.
With her in charge, Black Prison stabilized in a short time, becoming the sharpest dark blade in Ye Chen's hand.
But now, someone dared to touch Jessica? Dared to touch his people?
A cold glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. "Who is the opponent?"
Night Owl shook her head, her eyes filled with fear. "I don't know..." "I only saw a cloaked figure."
"He stood in the darkness, wrapped from head to toe in a black cloak. I couldn't see his features, only his eyes."
Her body began to tremble, as if recalling something extremely terrifying.
"Those eyes... were twisted." "They were moving in the sockets like two snakes."
"I only looked at him once, and I lost consciousness." "When I woke up, I was already here."
Ye Chen's brows furrowed tightly. This was not an ordinary Cultivator. It was an entity that specifically cultivated Mental Power.
And their cultivation base was at least at the Golden Core Stage or above. How could such an entity suddenly appear at Black Prison? And why would they control Jessica?
Ye Chen had many questions in his heart, but he did not continue to press. Because Night Owl could no longer give him any more answers.
"Discharge her." Ye Chen stood up, his voice cold and stern. "You will take me to the headquarters of Black Prison to take a look."
Night Owl was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously. She threw off the covers to get out of bed, but her legs went weak, and she nearly collapsed to the floor.
Yi Yue hurried forward to support her. "Be careful, you just woke up, your body hasn't recovered yet."
"I'm fine." Night Owl gritted her teeth and steadied herself. "I can handle it."
Ye Chen glanced at her without speaking. He knew that this woman, Night Owl, was more stubborn than anyone; even if she were covered in wounds, she would grit her teeth and keep going.
Zhou Shanxin stood to the side, watching this scene, completely bewildered.
"Mr. Ye, this patient just woke up and still needs to stay in the hospital for observation..."
"No need." Ye Chen interrupted him. "There is nothing wrong with her body. I will have someone handle the discharge procedures."
After saying this, he turned and walked out of the ward. Night Owl broke free from Yi Yue's hand and stumbled to follow him.
Seeing this, Yi Yue hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Chen's sleeve. "A-Chen, I'm going too."
Ye Chen stopped, looking at her with a face full of astonishment. "What are you going for?"
It wasn't that he didn't want to take Yi Yue, but this woman had no strength to truss a chicken; normally, she even had Xiaoya kill chickens for her, let alone going with him to a place like Black Prison, where dragons and snakes were mixed together.
Furthermore... she was still running a restaurant in Xiamen City, greeting guests daily, living a stable and solid life. To suddenly say she wanted to go on an adventure with him now left him completely bewildered.
Yi Yue gritted her teeth. "Night Owl has always protected me before. Now that she is injured, it's my turn to take care of her."
"No need." Night Owl's brows furrowed slightly. "I don't need taking care of."
She had always been a loner; when injured, she would lick her own wounds. She never liked to trouble others, and even less did she like to become a burden to others.
Ye Chen was speechless. "You come to take care of Night Owl."
Night Owl turned her head abruptly, looking at Ye Chen with a face full of astonishment. "Ye Chen, are you sure?" "Yi Yue is just an ordinary person."
What kind of place is Black Prison? It is one of the world's top mercenary organizations, with its headquarters located in a secret base in the west of Eagle Country.
The people there all have blood on their hands; they have killed more people than the number of people in their own household registers.
Now, bringing a defenseless, ordinary woman to such a place is not going to take care of her; it's going to invite trouble for himself...
Ye Chen smiled and reached out to put his arm around Yi Yue's shoulder. "My woman, by definition, will not be an ordinary person." "Getting exposed to things a little earlier is always a good thing."
Yi Yue's face flushed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal, leaning gently on Ye Chen's shoulder without speaking.
Night Owl watched the two of them, wanting to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.
She had followed Ye Chen for so long; she knew this man's temper too well. Once he made a decision, not even ten cows could pull him back.
And... he was right. His woman, indeed, would not be an ordinary person.
From the moment Yi Yue chose to be with Ye Chen, she was destined to embark on a different path.
"Let's go." Night Owl took a deep breath, suppressing the messy thoughts in her heart. "Any later, and I'm afraid there will be more incidents over there."
Ye Chen nodded, released Yi Yue's shoulder, and turned to walk out of the ward. Yi Yue hurried to keep up, and as she passed by Night Owl, she reached out to support her arm.
Night Owl's body stiffened slightly, subconsciously wanting to pull away. But when she looked down and saw Yi Yue's clear eyes, she gave up.
This woman... really treated her like a patient. However. Occasionally enjoying the care of the target object, isn't that okay?
In an instant. The three of them walked out of the ward, through the corridor, and arrived at the elevator entrance.
Zhou Shanxin chased after them from behind, panting and shouting, "Mr. Ye! Please wait!"
Ye Chen stopped and turned back to look at him. "Dr. Zhou, is there something else?"
Zhou Shanxin ran up to him, bending over to catch his breath. "Mr. Ye, I know your time is precious, and I don't want to delay you."
"But I have only one request..." He swallowed, as if gathering his courage. "Could you... take me as your apprentice?"
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "Dr. Zhou, I said it before; that is not a matter within the scope of medicine, you cannot learn it."
"I don't care!" Zhou Shanxin said with a firm expression. "Even if I only learn a little bit, if I can save a few more people, I will be content."
