Chapter 22: 021: Flower Chamber Hall – Xie Family Chapter 22: 021: Flower Chamber Hall – Xie Family “After the car crashed into the wall, I wrote my demands on the liquid crystal screen in his car, and he thought he was cursed, targeted by ghosts.”

There are no ghosts in this world, but some people feel guilty.

Wu Haomin was half-understanding, “What is a brake controller?”

“It’s a little gadget I made myself, nothing too technical,” Wen Changling took the carrot from the rabbit doll, played with it in her hand, “But that thing can only scare cowards like Sun Zheng who only dare to act tough within their own circle.” A scare was enough, she had been cautious during the installation, so as not to harm anyone’s life.

“You can make that kind of thing?” It sounded difficult.

Wen Changling nodded without any intent to show off, merely stating a fact calmly, “I had very good grades when I was studying.”

She could make sulfuric acid, build bombs. As long as she wanted to, she could make them.

Wu Haomin felt like he was getting to know her all over again, “You seem quite well-behaved.”

Wen Changling did not respond.

She wasn’t well-behaved, never had been.

“Changling, why did you come to Lotus Pond Street? What about your family?”

Wen Changling hung her head, “I don’t have a family anymore.”

In that moment, Wu Haomin felt a chilling gloominess on Wen Changling’s body, a contradictory sense of both innocence and evil existing together.

Wu Haomin didn’t pry any further, but repeatedly warned her to keep the brake controller matter a secret from everyone.

Granny Zhu must have also learned about Sun Zheng’s incident, didn’t say much, just stewed a pot of beef bone soup, giving most of the meaty parts to Wen Changling, and even cooked her a sweet water chicken egg.

On Monday, Wen Changling was on the day shift.

Dihong Hospital’s oncology department was large, divided into medical oncology, radiation oncology, and surgical oncology. Wen Changling’s ward was part of surgical oncology, which had two head nurses.
