Chapter 302: Two Bosses
Lin Qiye, your activity time is up. The caregiver pushed open Lin Qiye’s door and called out to him.
Lin Qiye nodded and followed the caregiver out.
Did you dream last night? Lin Qiye asked as they walked.
The caregiver paused, hesitating before replying, “Uh, I did… Why do you ask?”
Just curious. Lin Qiye casually responded, “What did you dream about?”
The caregiver’s face flushed, and his gaze began to dart around. With a lack of confidence, he said, “Just an ordinary dream…”
Seeing his reaction, Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Are you sure it was just an ordinary dream?”
The caregiver stiffened, anger and embarrassment flaring up as he retorted, “Why do you care? Besides, why should I tell you?”
You didn’t dream about Old Dog Wu, did you?
??? Why would I dream about him?
Then it’s nothing… Lin Qiye thought for a moment. Generally, how often do you dream about him?
The caregiver was taken aback, pondering. It seems to be quite regular; I usually dream about him once every six days…
So, how many caregivers are there in this hospital?
Including me, there are seven in total.
A glimmer of understanding flashed in Lin Qiye’s eyes.
He figured out how Old Dog Wu knew the code for leaving the hospital.
The two reached the transparent door, and a familiar voice came from the speaker again:
Employee number 39180, please answer today’s code: What does the lantern bearer want to eat the most today?
The crispy snack that everyone says is simply delightful.
Correct code, please proceed.
Lin Qiye’s lips curled slightly.
He passed through the transparent door, did a quick stretch, and headed straight for the cafeteria.
…
Boss Lin! It’s Boss Lin!
Boss Lin has arrived! Hurry, someone go get food for Boss Lin!
Boss Lin, your seat has been saved for you, this way please!
Damn it, who’s the blind fool that did this? Why is this chair still cold? Quickly warm it up for Boss Lin!
Boss Lin, Old Man An has been waiting for you for a long time!
As soon as Lin Qiye stepped into the cafeteria, a large group of prisoners rushed over with smiles, bustling around him as if he were not Lin Qiye, but a revered figure!
Lin Qiye stood at the entrance of the cafeteria, staring in confusion at the scene before him.
This group of people… why do they look so familiar?
Among the busy prisoners, most were wrapped in bandages or had their arms in casts, struggling to walk yet eagerly bringing food to Lin Qiye’s table.
Especially those who were the most vocal; they were the most injured, nearly covered in bandages, with only their eyes and nostrils visible, yet they were shouting at others.
Wait a minute! Lin Qiye stopped one of the bandaged prisoners. What’s going on here?
He chuckled, “Boss Lin, we all saw your and Old Man An’s skills yesterday. We’re just a bunch of fools who didn’t recognize your greatness. Now that that guy Han Jinlong is out of the picture, you and Old Man An are our new bosses!”
Lin Qiye: …
He looked up at the nearby table and saw An Qingyu sitting on a bench, staring thoughtfully at a plate piled high with fish.
Lin Qiye walked over and slowly sat down across from him.
Did you orchestrate this? Lin Qiye asked, half-amused.
No, I didn’t have the time to do such things. An Qingyu shook his head while offering Lin Qiye a piece of fish from his plate. When I just came out of the cell, I reacted just like you are now.
Lin Qiye accepted the chopsticks presented by a nearby prisoner and shrugged, feeling a bit awkward.
But I have to admit, this saves us a lot of trouble. An Qingyu glanced at the busy prisoners and said calmly, “Regardless of their motives, having so many people helping us makes things easier.”
Indeed. Lin Qiye nodded.
Do you have any new discoveries on your side?
Actually, I do. Lin Qiye recounted the situation with Old Dog Wu to An Qingyu.
An Qingyu’s eyes widened in surprise. “You mean the mental patient named Old Dog Wu who lives next to you can still use forbidden techniques under the suppression of the Town Ruins Monument and can freely enter other people’s dreams? He even told you the code?”
Exactly. Lin Qiye nodded, “But his mental state isn’t very stable.”
An Qingyu pondered for a moment, uncertain. “Is he wearing a patient uniform like yours, with messy hair and vacant eyes, probably in his thirties?”
Lin Qiye was taken aback. “You know him?”
An Qingyu’s mouth twitched slightly. “On my first night here, I dreamed about him.”
He can enter your dreams? Lin Qiye exclaimed in shock. The prison area is at least five or six hundred meters away from us; how did he manage that?!
An Qingyu shook his head bitterly, indicating he didn’t know either.
By the way, what did he do in your dream?
I was crossing a bridge when he suddenly floated up from the river, holding two fish, asking me if I preferred the crucian carp or the carp…
What did you say?
I said I didn’t like fish, but I was curious about him and asked if he could come down so I could dissect him.
…And then?
Then I woke up.
Lin Qiye stared at An Qingyu for a long time, letting out a slight sigh. He felt that it was An Qingyu who should be in the mental hospital, not himself.
Since he has such strong abilities, perhaps… we could have him join us? An Qingyu suggested thoughtfully.
You mean, take him along for the escape? Lin Qiye pondered.
Indeed, with Old Dog Wu’s abilities, if he joins our escape plan, it would undoubtedly provide significant help. However…
But we don’t know him well enough. Lin Qiye replied, “And his mental state is unstable. If something goes wrong during the escape, it could cause us trouble.”
That’s true.
Just as they were contemplating, Wang Lu and Fang Yanghui entered the cafeteria. They were slightly taken aback to see Lin Qiye being treated like a revered figure by the prisoners.
What’s going on here… Am I still dreaming? Wang Lu rubbed his eyes.
You’re awake. Fang Yanghui looked at Lin Qiye in the distance, seemingly recalling something, and a smile crept onto his face. It seems the dynamics of this fasting house have… changed.
