At this moment, Manhattan Hospital was bustling with activity.


    The medical professionals were diligently treating patients and saving lives, yet the security team was buzzing with anxiety like ants scurrying on a hot surface.<fn5ab4> Chapters first released on find?novel</fn5ab4>


    Their unease stemmed from two significant incidents that urred earlier that morning.


    First, a patient in ward 1707 was discovered dead in his hospital bed. Preliminary investigations suggested that the cause of death was acute morphine poisoning. However, the specifics awaited the results of the police autopsy. The hospital reviewed the patient’s medical history. He had been admitted following a car ident, and morphine was administered the previous night to manage his pain. The documented dosage was deemed safe and unlikely to lead to poisoning, raising the possibility of foul y.


    The second troubling incident involved the hospital’s monitoring system. Following the patient’s death, the staff responsible for the system identified some minor vulnerabilities that required repairs. Afterpleting the fix, they were shocked to find that all monitoring records had mysteriously vanished.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    With a death just reported and surveince footage gone missing, it was evident to everyone, including the police, that something was amiss.


    However, investigating the situation posed a challenge, as no one could ascertain whether the surveince footage disappeared before or during the system repair.


    If it urred prior to the repairs, a homicide was likely; if during the repairs, it could be a mere coincidence.


    Adding to the strangeness, two family members of patient 1707 had also vanished, one of whom was the well-known Chen Zhimin.


    The police were now feeling overwhelmed. Chen Zhimin, son-inw to the prestigious An family, was a figure of high social standing in New York. Any misstep involving him would surely capture national attention.


    Consequently, a significant police presence was dispatched to Manhattan Hospital to conduct thorough investigations and gather evidence.


    Meanwhile, Sara and Jadiel had just exited a taxi and were preparing to enter Manhattan Hospital. Sara’s brow was already furrowed with concern.


    As she separated a substantial amount of spiritual energy from her body, she swiftly scanned the entire building. Her frown deepened as she remarked, “Both of them are missing.”


    Jadiel responded in surprise, “Master Ying, they’ve lost contact here, and now they’re nowhere to be found. Could it be that something truly happened?”


    Sara withdrew her spiritual energy and, with a serious demeanor, exined, “I detected that there are a lot of people on the 17th floor. Their conversations suggest the police are seeking clues. I suspect it’s connected to the two of them. Please wait here while I investigate further.”


    Jadiel nodded slightly and replied respectfully, “Lord, please be careful.”


    Without acknowledging him further, Sara entered the gates of Manhattan Hospital.


    Upon entry, she noticed two police officers on duty. She approached them directly, gazing at one officer and asking tly, “What mission are you carrying out here?”


    The officer appeared momentarily stunned, as if his soul had been snatched away, and he replied, “We are on standby here, awaiting further instructions from themander on site.”


    Sara pressed on, “What’s happening on the 17th floor? What are your colleagues searching for?” The officer responded truthfully, “


    There was a murder on the 17th floor. A patient admitted yesterday was found dead from acute morphine poisoning this morning. It’s suspected that someone may have injected him with arge amount of morphine before his death.”


    Sara continued her inquiry, “What can you tell me about the deceased?”


    The officer replied, “He was the personal assistant of Chen Zhimin, the son-inw of the An family.”
