Xiao Ning's heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition rising within him. He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What happened? Tell me quickly!"
From the crowd, an elderly man with white hair and beard stepped forward and said tremblingly, "Ning Yazi, if they won't tell, I will!"
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Ning rushed forward, grabbed the old man's arm, and said, "Uncle Cai, please tell me what happened?"
The old man, Xiao Youcai, sighed and said, "Something happened to Qiang'er!"
Xiao Qiang? My uncle's daughter, what could possibly happen to her?
Xiao Ning asked, "What happened to Qiangqiang?"
Xiao Youcai nodded and said, "Yesterday was Friday. After the children got out of school, Qiang was ambushed and scratched on the face with two deep lines that bled profusely. She was taken to a hospital in the city, and the doctor said that she would be left with scars that would be difficult to heal!"
"These past two days, your grandparents have been running around the hospital, staying with you, and they haven't come back yet!"
"That girl Qiang is disfigured; her life is ruined!"
Xiao Youcai sighed deeply at the end of his speech.
"What? You're disfigured? That serious? Which hospital is it? I'll go see you!"
Xiao Ning's expression turned cold, and he asked solemnly.
Xiao Ning had watched his cousin grow up since she was a child. Although he didn't get along well with his uncle, he doted on his cousin, Xiao Qiang.
Hearing this sudden and dramatic change, Xiao Ning suppressed his anger, wanting only to find out about his sister's injuries first, and deal with the murderer later when he had more free time.
"I think it's at the People's Hospital. You can call your uncle and he'll know!"
Xiao Youcai thought for a moment and replied.
"Alright, thank you in advance, Mr. Youcai. I'll head to the city now!"
Xiao Ning spoke quickly, opened the car door, started the engine, and accelerated. The silver-gray Lamborghini sped off and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 17 People's Hospital
Linjiang County People's Hospital is more than 30 miles away from Xiao Ning's hometown and is the only Grade III Class A hospital in the entire Linjiang County.
People come and go here, it's a constant flow of people. The closer it gets to the end of the year, the more patients there are. If you're not careful, the elderly and children will end up coming here for a visit, spending hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.
As the saying goes, there's nothing you can't do without being sick, and nothing you can't do without money.
That's exactly the point.
Just then, a loud "rumble!" was heard, and a silver-gray luxury sports car drove into the gate of the People's Hospital. Its exaggerated shape, smooth curves, and especially the car logo on the front, all attracted people's attention.
"Holy crap, this guy's a pro!"
"That's so cool! What kind of car is that? I've never seen it before!"
"Damn, this is poison! Ahhh, I'm going crazy! I actually saw a poison tank appear in Linjiang with my own eyes! I have to post this on my WeChat Moments to brag about it!"
What is poison?
"The Lamborghini Veneno, a luxury sports car with only nine units produced worldwide!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
Xiao Ning didn't care about all that. After parking the car, he opened the door, got out, and ran into the outpatient hall.
Wow, this young man is so young and handsome!
"I'm tempted!"
"Stop talking, I'm wet!"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
Xiao Ning went straight to the information desk, where she saw two young women in pink nurse uniforms sitting behind it.
He asked very politely, "Excuse me, ladies, do you have a patient named Xiao Qiang?"
The two nurses sitting behind the reception desk heard the voice, looked up, and blushed the moment they saw Xiao Ning, thinking to themselves, "What a handsome young man!"
One of the nurses, ignoring her inner astonishment, quickly replied, "Please wait a moment, let me check for you. By the way, what is your relationship to the patient?"
Despite his anxiety, Xiao Ning remained outwardly calm. Hearing her words, he replied, "Oh, I'm her cousin!"
The nurse quickly clicked a few keys on the computer and found the results. She looked up at Xiao Ning and said, "Young man, the results are in. But, can I make a small request?"
Before Xiao Ning could answer, the nurse took out her phone, swiped to the WeChat interface, displayed a QR code, and asked, "Young man, can we add each other as friends?"
Was he being flirted with?
Xiao Ning's expression remained unchanged, clearly already used to it. He took out his phone, scanned the nurse's QR code with a "beep," and smiled, "Of course, no problem!"
He glanced at the nurse's appearance and figure, and decided that she was at least a 70 out of 100. He immediately understood and decisively agreed.
He had already added her as a friend while they were talking and pulled her into a group called "70 points, not yet made a move".
Seeing that her little trick had worked, the nurse smiled and quickly replied, "Young man, your cousin Xiao Qiang is on the left side of the eighth floor of Building 9 in the inpatient department, in room 43, bed number 2 of the trauma department!"
Xiao Ning noted down the bed number, waved goodbye, and said, "Thank you, pretty lady! Let's grab some late-night snacks sometime!"
Then, he turned and left.
