Qin Siyang brought Ye Qianqian to the hospital.
A strong smell of disinfectant filled the air.
It seemed no different from the hospitals in his memory.
However, the biggest difference from the hospitals of his past life was that this hospital was not crowded with people.
An empty reception desk, empty corridors. Even when doctors or family members of patients occasionally passed by, their steps were orderly and unhurried.
As expected.
When medical costs skyrocketed beyond what ordinary people could afford, hospitals became luxurious and refined.
But Qin Siyang didn't like it.
He was still more used to the noisy hospitals of his past life, the ones that felt more alive.
"Do you remember where your grandma is staying?"
"I remember."
"Good, then take me there."
Ye Qianqian held Qin Siyang's hand as they walked through the hospital.
Perhaps the smell of disinfectant triggered some unpleasant memories in her, because she was no longer in a daze. Her short legs moved quickly as she ran, her small face full of anxiety.
Qin Siyang followed beside her, comforting her as he walked, "No need to rush. Your grandma isn't dead."
Finally, after turning a corner, Ye Qianqian pointed ahead, panting heavily, "I... my grandma... cough cough... my grandma is over there."
Qin Siyang looked up and saw a group of doctors and nurses gathered there, along with several tall and burly men dressed in plain clothes.
He once again picked up Ye Qianqian and let her sit on his shoulders to rest.
Then he stepped forward and spoke, "I'm a relative of Zhu Li. Please make way."
The doctors looked grim.
Though they didn't recognize Qin Siyang, they did recognize the little girl on his shoulders, so they stepped aside.
Qin Siyang took one glance and immediately covered Ye Qianqian's eyes.
"Brother Qin Siyang, why are you covering my eyes?"
Qin Siyang clenched his teeth as he looked at Teacher Zhu, who was covered in blood, but he didn't answer Ye Qianqian.
He handed Ye Qianqian over to a nurse beside him, "Please take her away from here. Don't let her see what's happening."
The nurse hesitated. Seeing that Qin Siyang was just a student, she was afraid he'd end up like the elderly woman lying on the ground, beaten half to death by the burly men nearby. Out of kindness, she whispered to him, "You're still young, don't be reckless..."
As she spoke, she gave him a look, subtly indicating that the men beside them weren't people to mess with.
Qin Siyang nodded at the nurse, "Thank you. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
The nurse noticed that Qin Siyang's demeanor was unusually calm, not like an ordinary high school student. Her curiosity got the better of her, and she asked, "Who... who are you?"
Qin Siyang looked at the rough-looking men and replied,
"I am someone who can kill them without facing any consequences."
The entire room fell silent.
There was only one kind of person who could kill without being punished.
A Sequence Ability User!
The nurse's expression changed. Realizing that this was something she couldn't interfere with, and not wanting to get involved, she immediately ran off with Ye Qianqian in her arms.
"I want to see my grandma! I want to see my grandma!"
The nurse ignored Ye Qianqian's cries and continued running down the corridor until they disappeared from sight.
The burly men beside them exchanged horrified glances, too scared to move.
Even the doctors instinctively tried to leave, but Qin Siyang stopped them.
"Doctors, please stay."
A bespectacled doctor grimaced, "This... this friend, we're only here to check on the injuries. We have nothing to do with your relative being hurt..."
Another doctor quickly added, "Yes, we've been here tending to your grandma's injuries, haven't even had time to eat. Please don't wrongly accuse us..."
Qin Siyang's expression darkened. He spoke calmly, "Relax, I don't intend to blame any of you."
"I just want to ask, can she still be saved?"
The doctors exchanged glances and sighed, "She can be saved. But she's old, and even if she survives, she may be bedridden. On top of that, she was originally here for stomach cancer surgery. With these injuries, the surgery would be life-threatening. Who knows when she'll be able to undergo the operation again?"
"Honestly, she might not even make it through recovery. The stomach cancer could take her before then. You should prepare yourself for that possibility."
Qin Siyang nodded, "So if she hadn't been injured, she could have had the surgery and recovered, right?"
"More or less. She came to the hospital yesterday, and her test results were all good. If we removed the cancerous part of her stomach, her chances of recovery were high."
One of the burly men immediately shouted at the doctor, furious, "Bullshit! Just now, you said that the old woman was going to die no matter what!"
The doctor flinched, looking terrified, "You made me say that! I never actually said such a thing!"
The doctor wasn't trying to offend these men, but he was even more afraid of angering a Sequence Ability User.
To avoid being dragged into this mess, he simply spoke the truth.
The burly man's eyes widened, "You're talking nonsense! You looking for a beating?"
The man raised his fist, about to strike the doctor.
BOOM!
A blur flashed before the man's eyes.
In the next second, he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into a row of shelves in the corridor.
Qin Siyang retracted his fist and glanced at the man lying on the ground before turning his attention back to the unconscious Teacher Zhu.
Everyone else stared in horror.
The burly man's thick left chest muscle had caved in, as if all the air had been sucked out of it.
His entire left chest had a deep indentation, as deep as a drinking cup, his heart had probably been crushed with a single punch.
His mouth quivered for a moment before his jaw dropped wide open, as if he were trying to swallow a whole fist. His body twitched uncontrollably, then twisted into an unnatural angle, before going completely still.
Suddenly, his body convulsed once more, and a stream of dark red blood gushed from his mouth, pooling onto the floor.
This boy was indeed a Sequence Ability User.
And he had gone for the kill right away.
Everyone was stunned, too scared to move or speak.
Qin Siyang ignored them. He clenched his fists tightly as he looked at the bloodied Teacher Zhu.
He turned to the doctors, "Please begin the emergency treatment. Money is not an issue, I'll cover all the costs."
The doctors, feeling as if they'd been granted amnesty, quickly nodded, "Alright, alright! We'll begin right away!"
With that, a group of doctors scrambled to push the hospital bed down the corridor.
One of them even tripped over the burly man's corpse, staining his white coat with blood.
But he didn't stop. Instead, he forced a nervous smile at Qin Siyang, nodded rapidly, and hurried after the others.
Qin Siyang rolled his neck, his joints cracking like the tolling of a funeral bell.
His gaze swept over the terrified, pale-faced men.
Finally, his eyes settled on a short, middle-aged man among them.
