5 a.m.
At the central comprehensive hospital in Opportunity City, Chen Ke used Sleery’s social security number to help her check in, and the nurse at reception gave him a few extra looks.
“Sir…” the nurse asked, “were you also here at noon today?”
“Hm?” Chen Ke raised an eyebrow.
The nurse, feeling intimidated by Chen Ke’s gaze, didn’t dare to ask any further questions.
Even without invoking the Killing Aura Radar, Chen Ke’s eyes naturally exuded an intimidating aura, the kind unique to those who had experienced bloodshed.
From 4 a.m. to 6 a.m., busy tending to everything, and finally, as the first light of dawn touched the top of Si’s consortium’s dark building, it all came to an end.
“The liver is slightly ruptured, and the kidneys are also damaged. There’s likely to be hematuria. Luckily she was brought in early; otherwise, it could have been life-threatening,” the chief doctor explained Sleery’s condition to Chen Ke.

Diana’s special status meant that the Administration Bureau would naturally send people to look for her, and her family and friends would be informed of her situation immediately, so there was no need for concern. However, Sleery needed someone to care for her. It looked like he would have to stay near the hospital for a while.
“Louis and Rama…” suddenly, Chen Ke remembered these two, who were still at the 24-hour coffee shop, utterly oblivious to what they had missed.
