Director Wu left the hospital after work and drove away.
Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai followed, not in a mortal way, but directly using celestial methods.
However, doing so did not mean they could track him without any caution.
They still had to be careful.
Because tracking wasn't just about Director Wu, they also had to guard against the soul spirits that might be dispatched.
Of course, the good thing was that this kind of defense was much simpler than in the mortal realm.
Director Wu's car showed no particular anomalies.
He drove, bought some vegetables at the market, and went straight home.
"Sigh, I didn't realize it, but this fellow is quite a homebody!"
Fu Ruhai remarked.
If he didn't speak, he felt he would suffocate.
Liu Sandao smiled but said nothing.
Within a mile of Director Wu's home, there were no signs of soul spirits.
To ensure he and Fu Ruhai remained undiscovered, he expanded the range of his divine sense probe.
Still nothing.
Director Wu's actions were very ordinary, with nothing out of the ordinary.
At the end of the day, they had found nothing.
There was no need to rush.
They were celestials and didn't need to eat, drink, or use the restroom daily.
Moreover, time in the mortal realm was the same for them.
For several days in a row, Director Wu followed a strict routine: hospital, home, hospital, home!
"Did we make a mistake, monitoring someone who has no other activities?"
Fu Ruhai asked, puzzled.
"Wait a little longer, just a little longer!"
"I don't think we need to wait any longer. Waiting is useless, we might as well go home and sleep! ... Ah... Haha!"
Fu Ruhai was getting impatient, and as he spoke, he yawned!
Although he couldn't figure out why that dispatched entity would plant a seed in such a dull person's life, this kind of person with a monotonous lifestyle was indeed suitable for planting seeds.
It was precisely these seemingly ordinary, dull people who, when something happened, would be explosive.
During the days they were monitoring Director Wu, the situation at the hospital took a sharp turn.
There seemed to be many more flu patients, suffering from severe coughs.
Bai Fuchi, having no serious ailment, was discharged after only two or three days of observation to recuperate at home.
However, Li Langqing's condition deteriorated significantly.
He began to develop a fever. Although he could still manage to see some patients, his body couldn't cope.
The laboratory that was supposed to perform typing tests had some anomalies in the past two days; the equipment malfunctioned.
The head of the laboratory didn't take the matter seriously, saying, "We'll talk about it when it's fixed!"
An experienced doctor from the respiratory department felt that the situation was not right and decided to temporarily group patients with similar symptoms together.
Those without similar symptoms were arranged in other wards, and this situation was reported to the leadership.
When Liu Sandao saw Li Langqing again, he was lying in a hospital bed, receiving an IV drip.
"How did you suddenly fall ill?"
"I don't know, I just feel weak all over and can't work normally."
Li Langqing said with a smile.
As doctors themselves, they generally took illnesses with a broad perspective.
Liu Sandao used his divine sense to probe. His lungs seemed to have worsened again, but it wasn't to the point of being life-threatening.
After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai left the ward.
Just as they were about to resume monitoring Director Wu, someone appeared.
"Hu Tianhan! He has a seed on his back!"
Fu Ruhai exclaimed loudly.
"Let's go, let's take a look!"
Liu Sandao responded, and the two of them then followed Hu Tianhan as he approached Director Wu's office door.
"Director Wu, long time no see!"
"Long time no see! How is your mother?"
"She's fine, fine, thank you for asking! My mother specifically entrusted someone to buy this for me to give to you. If it weren't for you, her illness wouldn't have recovered so quickly!"
As Hu Tianhan spoke, he placed the items in his hand on Director Wu's desk.
"No, no, no! Take it back! Take it back. This is a hospital, and if anyone sees it, I might be fired!"
Director Wu demurred.
"Yes, alright!"
Hu Tianhan saw Director Wu's refusal and didn't insist.
Everything appeared ordinary, with no indication of how familiar the two of them were.
The only similarity was that Hu Tianhan also had a seed.
Perhaps this was the reason why their conversation felt much more harmonious, as if they had endless things to talk about.
They went from casual small talk to unknowingly discussing colds and fevers.
"You know, there really are a lot of people with colds and fevers lately!"
"Is that so? I know an expert in this field! A leader in this area. Do you know him?"
"Well, how could I possibly know him? I'm not from the respiratory department!" Director Wu said with a wry smile.
Hu Tianhan didn't think much of it and continued,
"Huo Jiadong, from Xihua Hospital! A renowned professor! Do you know him?"
"This, of course, I know him! How could anyone in the medical field not know him? He's a national authority!"
As soon as Director Wu heard the name, he immediately responded.
Huo Jiadong was indeed a leading professor in the respiratory department, and he was very famous!
Moreover, when they were interns, they had studied textbooks personally compiled by Huo Jiadong.
Who would have thought that Hu Tianhan, at such a young age, would know Huo Jiadong!
As the two of them discussed Huo Jiadong, it seemed as though they had even more endless topics to cover.
Fu Ruhai, listening, yawned repeatedly.
He had no habit of eavesdropping.
Liu Sandao, however, listened attentively, afraid of missing anything.
Hu Tianhan bringing up Huo Jiadong without reason, especially in a conversation related to colds and fevers, suggested his intentions were not simple.
Yet, from beginning to end, he never mentioned anything about a plague.
Director Wu was happily chatting, rambling on about this and that.
Even after Hu Tianhan stood up to leave, he still seemed eager to continue.
Everyone in the hospital seemed busy, yet Director Wu always appeared quite leisurely.
"Sigh, why are some people's lives so good?"
Even Fu Ruhai couldn't help but sigh.
He earned a good salary, but had little work. Such a position was rare even in the celestial realm.
Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai visited Bai Fuchi for several consecutive days.
However, Bai Fuchi and Guo Xiufang seemed to particularly favor Fu Ruhai, treating Liu Sandao with cold remarks.
Liu Sandao didn't sense anything amiss, and it was Fu Ruhai who reminded him if he had done anything inappropriate.
Liu Sandao smiled and said nothing, steering the conversation to other topics.
Bai Suxiang, seeing Fu Ruhai arrive, guessed that there must be a new mission.
While watching Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai chat in the residential area, she asked if they had any actions planned.
"It's not entirely clear yet. You should take good care of your parents first. We'll discuss work matters later!"
"Don't worry, I will!"
Bai Suxiang replied.
For someone accustomed to working, having free time always felt like something was missing.
Bai Suxiang found herself bored and wanted to find something to do.
