Chapter 402 - Patients, Doctors [2 in 1] (2/2)

Chen Ge was not Doctor Gao, and he did not understand that feeling, so he chose to be silent.

“Chen Ge, I know you are close to Doctor Gao, but I hope you will be rational at a time like this. I made this call because this is an order from Captain Yan. We suspect that Doctor Gao is involved in this somehow, but all the clues and trails have been cleaned up, and everything that we currently have is just a suspicion.”

“What do you want me to do?”

“Gao Ru Xue is Doctor Gao’s only daughter and the person he loves the most in the world. If we contact Gao Ru Xue without any warning and evidence, it would only tip off Doctor Gao. Only you can do that.” Lee Zheng stated the real intention of his call in a roundabout way. “Gao Ru Xue is an opening; you have saved her life once, so she will not be cautious around you. Therefore, we need you to approach Gao Ru Xue to find out more about her father.”

“Why me?” Chen Ge had always ‘volunteered’ to help the police. This time, he was requested by the law enforcement to help in a case, and that made him rather uncomfortable.

“Because you are the only available candidate.” Lee Zheng chatted some more with Chen Ge, but he did not force Chen Ge; he merely suggested it. After hanging up, Chen Ge sat in the dark truck, and his expression was complicated. If Liu Zhe’s brother-in-law was Doctor Gao, then the real owner of Room 3004 at Fang Hwa Apartments was Doctor Gao.

The laptop that contained all the information on his Haunted House was Doctor Gao’s, and the person who stole the video footage from his visitors was Doctor Gao. Chen Ge did not have the brain power to consider helping Lee Zheng because there was a bigger question occupying his mind. Is Doctor Gao really the chairperson of the ghost stories society?

His body moved along with the car; the road condition was not so great. Chen Ge took out his phone to check back the information that Doctor Gao had sent to him when he first went to the Third Sick Hall. At the time, he had known nothing of the Third Sick Hall and asked Doctor Gao for a list of patient records. Now that he thought about it, the records were definitely suspicious. The records were not accessible to anyone, but Doctor Gao produced them in minimal time.

Why would he help me back then? Chen Ge looked at the records and could not figure out Doctor Gao’s mind. Did he just think it was exciting, or did he want to use the Third Sick Hall as a test for me?

After Zhang Ya made short work of the Third Sick Hall, the communication between Doctor Gao and Chen Ge had drastically decreased. Before this, be it Men Nan or the Pen Spirit’s friend, it was Doctor Gao who had acted as the bridge.

This is what I know about No. 10: he has seen my Doctor Skull-cracker’s mask, is familiar with the movement of the police, has long fingers, is close to me, knows Jiujiang Medical University very well, and calls the dead body on his back his wife.Chen Ge realized that Doctor Gao fitted all the characteristics of No. 10 perfectly. He was not sure whether it was positive reinforcement or not, but when he thought about it, Chen Ge realized that No. 10 sounded a bit like Doctor Gao. The height and body shape of No. 10 in the black robe slowly overlapped with Doctor Gao.

Could it really be him? Chen Ge’s fingers were intertwined together. He thought back on the visit he made with Doctor Gao to the home of Pen Spirit’s friend. The friend had suffered from serious depression, and after Chen Ge brought the Pen Spirit over to help ease the guilt in her friend, Doctor Gao had thanked Chen Ge on the patient’s behalf. The thank you came from his sincere heart, and even now, Chen Ge could still remember the words that Doctor Gao said. He really could not believe someone like that could be the chairperson of the ghost stories society.

Patients, doctors… However, as he thought about it, the basis for the founding of the ghost stories society was to help those special patients relieve their pain. They used extreme methods to heal themselves to seek salvation, to try to be normal people. However, the final result was that they sunk deeper and deeper into the depths of hell until they could not be called normal human beings anymore.

Was this all Doctor Gao’s plan from the beginning? Chen Ge had heard from one of the members that they had once tried to save a person who was afraid of water by making her face the source of her fear. They had made her overcome it by personally drowning her father. The treatment method was inhumane and could never be accepted by the society, so it could only be carried out in the shadows of the city. Holding the phone, Chen Ge felt conflicted for the first time.

He could whack any of the patients from the Third Sick Hall with the hammer without hesitation, but he was not sure that he could do that to Doctor Gao. Whether it was when he was treating Men Nan or his other patients, Doctor Gao was flawless. If he was acting, he was a very good actor. However, it did not feel like he was. Chen Ge could sense that he really did want to help those people.

Human beings sure are complicated. Chen Ge leaned against the wall of the truck. Hugging the white cat in his embrace, he glanced out through the gap in the wall. It’s almost dawn.

The truck drove for another hour, but it did not enter the city. The driver drove Chen Ge to the edge of town when he said that he had something urgent to attend to and had to go somewhere else. Chen Ge’s mind was muddled by the phone call from Lee Zheng, so he did not think much of it. He thanked the man and got out of the truck.

As he watched the moving company’s truck drive away, the cold breeze touched his face, and Chen Ge felt his mind brighten and clear. Something is wrong with this truck driver.

When he first got into the car, the truck had been shaking violently. This proved that the driver had not been using the flattened main road. In fact, it felt like he was driving them further away from civilization, using the small roads.

The change happened when he received the call from Lee Zheng. The truck driver probably heard the phone call between Chen Ge and the police, so he changed the direction and drove the truck back to the main road.

Was he trying to silence me? Did he change his mind after hearing my phone call with the police?

When Chen Ge was trying to figure out this issue, a taxi came from the road that the moving company’s truck had disappeared down earlier.

Chen Ge waved his hand to stop the taxi. He climbed in. “Boss, drive me to Western Jiujiang’s New Century Park please.”

“Is the theme park open so early in the morning?”

“I’m one of the workers there.” Chen Ge smiled. He pointed at the road that the taxi had come from. “When you came from that road, did you see the truck of a moving company? That driver…”

“Truck? There was no such thing. I was the only car on the road.” The taxi driver was even more confused than Chen Ge.

“No truck‽” Chen Ge touched the white cat’s head. “Then who gave me the lift? But the white cat did not warn me.”
