Ning Yanzhi

"Wait! Help me with the discharge procedures for today."

Yu Jing called out to Special Commissioner Liang just as he was about to leave the ward. Liang made an "OK" gesture and left.

Less than half an hour later, the attending physician, along with a nurse, came to the ward to confirm that Yu Jing's body was fine and signed off.

The various instruments attached to Yu Jing were removed, and he was even thoughtfully provided with a set of gray hoodies and jeans identical to those he wore before physical training. The quality of the clothing was naturally top-notch.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Jing changed into his clothes and stood by the ward window, gazing at the peaceful scene within the hospital grounds.

The Ghost Bead given by Special Commissioner Liang had already been stored in his point card. Yu Jing would absolutely not take it out until he knew its purpose.

After a brief period of organizing his thoughts, Yu Jing decided to head to the main hospital, as the nurse had called it, to visit Yu Xiaoxiao, whose injuries were more severe. If Yu Xiaoxiao hadn't fought desperately in the end, Yu Jing would never have survived.

Just then, a coffee-colored figure fell from above at an extremely high speed and landed directly in the grass outside the window.

"Did someone jump?"

Since Yu Jing's ward was on the first floor, his immediate reaction was to push open the window and check on the fallen person.

To his surprise, as soon as he opened the window, a man wearing a coffee-colored trench coat quickly stood up from the grass.

His small eyes were completely closed, and he had a standard smiling face. He was about 1.75 meters tall with somewhat fluffy black hair, and he appeared uninjured at the moment.

Furthermore, Yu Jing noticed that this person was wearing a white glove on his left hand but not on his right. It was unclear if it had fallen off or if it was intentional, which would be quite bothersome for someone with OCD.

Without Yu Jing's permission, the young man immediately stepped into the ward and, looking somewhat flustered, hid in the nearby wardrobe.

As Yu Jing was wondering what was happening, his ward door was pushed open by several girls who appeared to be of similar age. Without any regard for Yu Jing's feelings, they loudly asked, "Excuse me, have you seen a very handsome man with small eyes wearing a coffee-colored trench coat?"

"Sorry, I haven't seen him."

Before Yu Jing could finish speaking, the girls quickly moved on to the next room to ask. Once the commotion in the hallway had completely died down, the young man hiding in the wardrobe emerged with a look of relief.

"Thank you so much..."

Just as the young man was about to express his gratitude, he found that the ward was already empty.

Yu Jing didn't bother to ask who this young man was. He had already been discharged, and it was none of his business what the other person did in his ward. With his hands in his pockets, he had already left.

In the hospital lobby, the young man in the coffee-colored trench coat caught up with Yu Jing, who was about to walk out of the hospital entrance.

"Hold on, fellow newcomer! Thanks for your help. We're all new here, can't we communicate a bit?"

"I don't know you. I just said I didn't see you because I didn't want any trouble." Yu Jing had no intention of interacting much with this person.

"With your status, you probably won't be able to get into the main hospital."

As the young man in the trench coat said this behind him, Yu Jing glanced at him with a wary look.

The trench coat man immediately raised both hands and waved them in front of him, revealing a kind smile. "Haha, I mean no harm. When we newcomers gathered eight days ago, it was common knowledge that you formed a two-person team with the descendant of the Yu family. And anyone with a little bit of connection knows that the eldest daughter of the Yu family is recuperating from serious injuries at the main hospital. So, I figured you must be going to visit her."

"As a token of my gratitude! I can take you into the main hospital."

After the young man in the trench coat's explanation, Yu Jing met his small eyes and replied calmly, "Let's talk as we walk."

As the doors were pushed open and they stepped out, bright sunlight shone on Yu Jing's body. His right arm immediately began photosynthesis, replenishing the energy Yu Jing hadn't consumed at noon.

Walking straight along the main road of the branch campus and out through the iron gate, Yu Jing realized that the branch campus was located halfway up a circular mountain. There were similar branch campuses at other locations on this mountain.

However, at the very top of the circular mountain stood a massive building, a giant hospital that pierced the clouds. This was the main building of the Dihua Ability Institute's affiliated hospital. Disciples of the Medical School also received professional education inside.

"What a grand scale for a hospital."

As Yu Jing marveled, he shifted his gaze to the front, where he could see the edges of the buildings shrouded in white mist.

"Is this part of the Dihua Ability Institute?" Yu Jing asked.

"Yes, the Dihua Ability Institute's affiliated hospital is located in the East District of our Di Hua, situated on this circular mountain. Disciples who need treatment are sent here by special vehicles for treatment, which is very expensive. Of course, for us newcomers, the treatment for injuries sustained during physical training is free... As you can see, the summit of the circular mountain is the main hospital. Let's walk up."

"En."

Although Yu Jing's outward response was calm and collected, he was inwardly shocked by the scale of the Dihua Ability Institute.

Yu Jing, wearing a hood and remaining silent, prompted the young man in the trench coat to initiate the conversation again. "Didn't we say we'd chat as we walked? How about we introduce ourselves? The tense and deadly physical training has just ended, let's relax a bit."

"My name is Ning Yanzhi, a newcomer from the Language Academy. I just turned twenty this year."

Yu Jing responded, "Yu Jing, newcomer from the Gene Academy. I'm about the same age as you. By the way, since I can't get into the affiliated main hospital above, how can you get in?"

"A little bit of connection is all it takes. My social network is quite good." This newcomer, named Ning Yanzhi, was indeed very approachable in his speech. Seeing that Yu Jing was willing to talk, he quickly asked, "By the way, how did you get acquainted with the Yu family's young lady? Most people among the newcomers are unwilling to have any dealings with the Yu family."

"She's a good person, with no ulterior motives. Why shouldn't I interact with her?" Yu Jing replied seemingly casually, actually wanting to understand from Ning Yanzhi why everyone was reluctant to associate with the Yu family.

Ning Yanzhi directly put his arm on Yu Jing's shoulder, like a close friend, and leaned in to whisper into Yu Jing's right ear.

"Because the Yu family is the largest assassin family in our current nation. Anyone, whether it's women or children, as long as the employer pays enough, will have the target eliminated within a week at the latest. This kind of business spans the globe... Yu Xiaoxiao might not have too many problems, but if you get too close to her, her family might erase you without you even realizing it."

As he said this, Yu Jing couldn't help but recall the look his mother gave him when he first arrived at the Dihua Ability Institute's main gate. It was indeed, as Ning Yanzhi described, a look that seemed to want to 'erase' Yu Jing.

Yu Jing pushed Ning Yanzhi's arm off his shoulder and replied calmly, "She's my friend, it has nothing to do with her family..."
