Chapter 6, Who is the Rapist

The surgery finally concluded, and Li Zhongxiong emerged from the operating room, subsequently making his way to his office, with Lin Luo naturally following closely behind.

With her eyes slightly closed, Lin Luo slowly envisioned a series of images in her mind. These were the events that would transpire between Li Zhongxiong from now until midnight tonight. As long as she focused on Li Zhongxiong and compared everything he did next with her predictions, if there truly was a fate manipulator altering Li Zhongxiong's destiny, there would certainly be discrepancies between the two. If that were the case, then by simply preventing the alteration of Li Zhongxiong's fate, Lan Xue would remain safe and sound. She would compare everything Li Zhongxiong did next with her predictions, and if there truly was a fate manipulator altering Li Zhongxiong's destiny, there would certainly be discrepancies between the two. If that were the case, then by simply preventing the alteration of Li Zhongxiong's fate, Lan Xue would remain safe and sound.

"Brother Luo, how could you do this?" Lin Shuang murmured, "How could you find another girl to be your girlfriend? No, this is not acceptable..."

Let’s first see how Xiaoshuang is doing! Lin Luo focused on the graceful figure of Lin Shuang, but her expression slightly changed as she noticed Lin Shuang walking into a bar called "Night Charm".

I mean to say that he has a decent heart! Lin Luo said irritably, after all, there have been too many reports about unscrupulous doctors these days. Subconsciously, Lin Luo also felt that there were not many good doctors. Now that he had personally witnessed a relatively kind-hearted doctor, he couldn't help but express some sentiments.

From Li Zhongxiong's gaze, Lin Luo saw the entirety of his life trajectory. Whether in the past or the future, Li Zhongxiong was almost a flawless individual—filial to his parents, caring towards others, kind-hearted, and maintaining a respectable private life. It can be said that such a person could never possibly resort to violence against a girl.

The phone ringtone rang again. Looking at the number displayed, it was yet another unfamiliar call

However, there is one thing that Lin Luo cannot comprehend, no matter what: if Li Zhongxiong's fate has not changed, how could Xiao Hui predict that he would become strong and violent towards Lan Xue? If fate has already changed, then why is he unable to see it?

"I will pay immediately; you proceed with the surgery first. Saving lives is the priority!" The speaker was a middle-aged man, who was almost shouting at a beautiful nurse in front of him

"What? Do you still need to rest?" Lin Luo was taken aback

Li Zhongxiong hurriedly left, while the boy who was bumped into by Li Zhongxiong, namely Lin Luo, stared blankly at Li Zhongxiong's retreating figure, his eyes filled with confusion

Indeed, according to the instructions, I have completed today's calculations and will soon shut down automatically. As for when I will wake up, I do not know. Xiao Hui's voice surprisingly carried a sense of fatigue. "Xiao Linzi, goodbye!"

"How is that possible? I am the greatest Fate Intelligence Brain, I cannot make mistakes!" Xiao Hui firmly rejected, "If Li Zhongxiong is not influenced by other factors and follows a normal life trajectory, he indeed cannot encounter Lan Xue, nor can he forcefully violate Lan Xue. However, it cannot be ruled out that when others tamper with fate, it may have affected Li Zhongxiong, causing a change in his life trajectory."

"Brother Luo is gone, I, I have lost everything..." Lin Shuang said with a dreamy voice, her eyes filled with confusion.

Alright, then, Xiao Hui, you say, if I want to stop Li Zhongxiong from violently taking Blue Snow, what should I do with the book?

"I am sorry, sir, but I am just a nurse. If you have not made the payment, I still cannot notify the doctor to proceed with the surgery," the beautiful nurse said with a look of regret.

Indeed, it must be so! Lin Luo assured himself in his heart. After coming to this realization, he immediately gained confidence. As long as he kept a close watch on Li Zhongxiong and prevented that fate usurper from completing the final step of his plan, then Li Zhongxiong's fate would not be altered, and his own alteration of Lan Xue's fate would also succeed

◇◇◇◇

Night Charm Bar

"What are you talking about?" Lin Luo was momentarily taken aback, but then his expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "What? He is the doctor we are looking for?"

You make me think; I might know why he is so strong | Violent Blue Snow!" Little Gray suddenly shouted with some excitement

Seeing the man whose wife was about to undergo surgery hurriedly rushing to the operating room, Li Zhongxiong sighed. Although he was a doctor, he wished for fewer patients in the hospital. Unfortunately, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, there was no sign of a decrease in patients; rather, the number increased year by year

However, to his disappointment, the boy remained seated properly and, before long, even started chatting with Lin Shuang

How could Xiaoshuang go to a place like a bar? Lin Luo couldn't help but feel a bit worried; bars are filled with all kinds of people. For Lin Shuang, a beautiful and innocent girl, being in such a place could easily lead to trouble

Li Zhongxiong is thirty years old this year. Five years ago, after graduating from medical school, he came to the First People's Hospital of Mingzhu City. In just five short years, he has become one of the most renowned surgeons in Mingzhu City. His superb medical skills and excellent medical ethics have earned him the trust of his patients. Although he is only thirty years old, many people say that he will be the top candidate for the next director of the city hospital

Doctor Li is quite a decent person! Lin Luo said to himself

Lin Luo was pacing back and forth in the corridor outside Li Zhongxiong's office. If all went as planned, Li Zhongxiong would have a surgery at 8:00, which would last for a long time, concluding around 11:00 in the evening. What Lin Luo needed to do now was to ensure that no unforeseen events occurred.

"It's quite simple. Just capture Li Zhongxiong and lock him up somewhere, and let him out tomorrow. That way, there won't be any issues," Xiao Hui said weakly. "However, the consequence of this is that a patient in the hospital will die, and then Li Zhongxiong will be plagued by guilt, leading him to a state of despair, ultimately falling from a talented surgeon to becoming a homeless beggar on the streets"

Although the two referred to each other as siblings, Lin Shuang knew that her feelings for Lin Luo were not the affection typical of siblings, but rather the love that exists between lovers. Moreover, she had always felt that Lin Luo loved her as well; she could sense the affection he had for her.

"With such a pretentious demeanor, it's obvious he is not a good person!" Zhou Yuntao muttered to himself, staring at the boy. He and Tu Shu had already made up their minds that if that kid dared to lay a hand on Lin Shuang, they would beat him into a national treasure giant panda

Li Zhongxiong felt somewhat fatigued, so he leaned back in his chair, slightly closing his eyes. The surgery had just concluded when he received notification that he had another surgery to perform that evening. Although the arrangement seemed somewhat unreasonable, Li Zhongxiong did not complain. In his view, as a doctor, it was his duty to perform surgeries for patients in need. However, he was indeed feeling quite tired. Fortunately, there was still about an hour before the next surgery, allowing him to take a brief rest during this interval.

"There is no need to look for me; just find Lan Yatou, as she is the one worried about you," Zi Ye said lazily. Before her words had finished, they heard the delicate voice of Lan Xue complaining, "Miss Zi Ye, please do not speak carelessly!"

Of course, but let me make it clear first, I am relatively poor and can only treat you to one drink. If you drink more, you will have to pay for it yourself. Lin Luo said quickly, "By the way, could you do me a favor? My sister is over there, please keep an eye on her for me, I am worried something might happen to her"

Stay calm, stay calm, without Xiao Hui, you can still do it! Lin Luo took a few deep breaths and silently told himself. Soon, he recovered from the sudden loss of Xiao Hui.

Is there really no other way that wouldn't affect Dr. Li? Lin Luo felt an urge to curse, but still managed to hold back and refrain from doing so

Damn broken smart brain! Lin Luo cursed angrily, why rest early or late, but actually choose to rest at such a critical moment, from now on, everything will depend on him alone

The sports car sped away, and from a distance, the voice of Ziye reached Fang Tianming's ears: "Fang Tianming, I forgot to tell you, one of the two assistants you overlooked is a usurper of fate"

Isn't it him!" Little Gray said lazily

In fact, Lin Luo's suspicion towards Xiao Hui is quite normal, as Xiao Hui's origins are unclear. Moreover, the ability to calculate the outcomes of the butterfly effect is inherently astonishing. However, due to the numerous incredible things surrounding Xiao Hui, when Xiao Hui claimed that it could calculate the butterfly effect resulting from altering fate, Lin Luo unconsciously believed him

Would the process of usurpation be divided into several steps? Lin Luo suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. If a certain usurper is currently implementing a usurpation plan against Li Zhongxiong, and this plan is divided into several parts, only upon completing the final step will the usurpation be complete. Until that step is completed, Li Zhongxiong's fate will not change, and thus it cannot be predicted. However, Xiao Hui is able to calculate the final result based on the previous steps of the usurpation plan. The only issue is that, for some unknown reason, it did not inform Lin Luo about this matter. Only upon completing the final step will the usurpation be complete, and until that step is completed, Li Zhongxiong's fate will not change, and thus it cannot be predicted. However, Xiao Hui is able to calculate the final result based on the previous steps of the usurpation plan. The only issue is that, for some unknown reason, it did not inform Lin Luo about this matter.

Fang Tianming's expression suddenly changed dramatically

At 7:50, the beautiful nurse arrived at Li Zhongxiong's office. Moments later, Li Zhongxiong came out and hurried to the operating room, while Lin Luo followed without hesitation.

"A bar? No way, are you really so kind as to treat me to a drink?" Zhou Yuntao asked, momentarily taken aback and somewhat incredulous.

Li Zhongxiong turned around to head upstairs to the library; his office is on the third floor. However, just as he turned, he bumped into someone.

"Xiao Zhang, please inform the doctor to prepare for the patient's surgery. I will temporarily cover the expenses for this gentleman." At that moment, a resonant voice interjected. Lin Luo turned to look and saw a man in a white coat, approximately in his thirties, with a remarkably handsome appearance

Time slowly passed, and inside, Li Zhongxiong had already fallen into a deep sleep. Outside, Lin Luo continued to pace back and forth. Occasionally, doctors and nurses would pass by, merely glancing at Lin Luo without saying much. In fact, it was common for family members of patients to walk up and down the corridors in the hospital. To those doctors and nurses, Lin Luo's behavior was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Alas, I am merely an intelligent brain, not a human. I cannot comprehend the thoughts of you humans," Xiao Hui complained. "How could I know that such an upright person would turn into a lecher?"

Having just expressed his admiration, Zhou Yuntao furrowed his brow, for he noticed that someone had approached Lin Shuang's table and sat down beside her. It was a boy who appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and slender, dressed in casual attire

When Lin Luo returned to the hospital lobby, he unexpectedly discovered that there was a quarrel occurring at the hospital payment counter

"Alright, Doctor Li." The nurse quickly glanced at Doctor Li before leaving, a blush spreading across her pretty face

After a brief pause, Ziye continued, "By the way, Lin Luo, I need to remind you of something. You should be cautious of Fang Tianming; he might cause you some trouble."

◇◇◇◇

Miss Ziye, I apologize for your failure once again in seizing the opportunity. Fang Tianming said lightly, perhaps due to a sense of pride, his tone was no longer as indifferent as before

"How ridiculous, I despise you. I thought you were genuinely kind enough to invite me for a drink, but it turns out you just want me to help you look after your sister!" Zhou Yuntao said indignantly

Hey, Xiao Hui, don't be so anxious! Xiao Hui, Xiao Hui... This unexpected change left Lin Luo at a loss for words; Xiao Hui really did not respond.

Miss Ziye, I am unable to leave for the time being," Lin Luo said softly. "How about I contact you after I finish my work?

"Xiao Hui, did you make a mistake?" Lin Luo asked softly at the corner of the stairs

"Lower your voice!" Lin Luo quickly admonished in a low tone. Although no one was passing by at the moment, it was hard to guarantee that Xiao Hui's loud voice wouldn't attract attention. After a pause, he continued to ask, "Quickly tell me, what is the reason?"

"I apologize, are you alright?" Li Zhongxiong noticed a young man who had been knocked to the ground by him, and quickly bent down to help him up, his face filled with remorse

I just recalculated, and I found that there is only one possibility I did not account for. "Xiao Hui said in a lowered voice, "That is, there are other fate manipulators who have altered Dr. Li's destiny

◇◇◇◇

◇◇◇◇

Lin Luozhao walked to the third floor of the hospital and learned from the nurse that Li Zhongxiong was currently undergoing surgery, which would not conclude for another half hour

"Impressive, this girl can really drink!" When Zhou Yuntao saw Lin He Tushu Shuang down another large glass of beer in one gulp, he finally couldn't help but exclaim in admiration

"Lin Luo, this is Ziye." As soon as the call was connected, a captivating voice came through, "Both I and Lan Xue are at your home. When will you be back?"

Although she lost her parents at a young age, Lin Shuang has always felt very happy because she met Lin Luo. She has always believed that she is Lin Luo's princess, and Lin Luo once said that he would cherish her for a lifetime

"I wonder if, after he violently dealt with Lan Xue tonight, you will still say that he has a good heart?" Xiao Hui said in a strange tone.

If you feel unwell, it is best to see a doctor. Li Zhongxiong glanced at his watch and then said, I apologize, the patient is still waiting for me, I must leave now. My name is Li Zhongxiong, after you finish seeing the doctor, you can go to the third floor to give me the bill.

Xiao Hui is merely an assistant obtained by chance; other fate manipulators do not have a similar intelligent brain to assist them. Since they are able to successfully manipulate fate, why can't he, Lin Luo, do the same?

The question is, how could someone as upright as Li Zhongxiong possibly commit an act of violence? Lin Luo spoke with a hint of irritation; if Li Zhongxiong were a hypocritical charlatan, this matter would be easily resolved, but the reality is different. Li Zhongxiong is indeed a thoroughly upright doctor.

Purple Night, one day, you will completely lose to me!" Looking at the receding silhouette of the car, Fang Tianming said resentfully

"Sure, I will help, but it's for the sake of our little sister Xiaoshuang, not for you!" Zhou Yuntao said huffily, "I won't say much more to you. I'm going now. I also don't want little sister Xiaoshuang to be bullied by others, so you can rest assured!"

A hint of mockery appeared on Ziye's face; she said nothing further and turned to walk towards her sports car

The battle between Ziye and Fang Tianming has concluded, and as with their previous encounters, there was no clear victor. As both are ability usurpers, their strengths are inherently comparable, and defeating one another would require assistance.

"Yes, Tao Ge, I actually wanted to invite you for a drink." Lin Luo said somewhat helplessly, "You can go to a bar called Night Charm to have a drink, just consider it as my treat!"

Lin Shuang sat alone in the corner, with a pile of beer bottles in front of her on the table

"What?" Lin Luo was slightly taken aback. "However, he himself did not commission the fate-altering master. Could it be that someone else wishes to alter his destiny?"

"No, I need to find someone to keep an eye on her," Lin Luo thought for a moment, took out his phone, contemplated briefly, and dialed a number

Miss Ziye, given your status, do you not even dare to admit failure?

Lin Luo glanced at the time. After Li Zhongxiong's surgery was completed, it would be around 7 PM. Although he felt a bit hungry, Lin Luo still dared not go eat. He had already made a decision: tonight, he would keep a close watch on Li Zhongxiong

"Thank you, Brother Tao." Although the call had already ended, Lin Luo still gently spoke into the phone. In fact, he was well aware of Zhou Yuntao's character; otherwise, he would not have sought his assistance.

"Is this a mistake? Could being handsome really have so many advantages?" Zhou Yuntao complained to himself, but despite his complaints, he continued to keep a close watch on Lin Shuang to prevent any unexpected incidents.

◇◇◇◇

"That person is much more handsome than you." Xiao Hui chuckled, and since there were still quite a few people in the hospital lobby, no one thought that Lin Luo was talking to himself

At almost the same time, Lan Xue, who had not yet left Lin Luo's home, received a call from her younger brother, informing her that their mother's condition had suddenly worsened and she was being rushed to the hospital

Was that scene just now merely a disguise of his? Lin Luo thought to himself, if that is the case, then this Dr. Li is most likely the hypocrite as described in legends

Then, Brother Tao, will you help or not? Lin Luo did not have time to chat with him. If Zhou Yuntao was unwilling to help, he would have to think of other ways.

Understood, thank you, Miss Ziye. Lin Luo felt a slight tightening in his heart; if Fang Tianming were to cause him trouble, it would indeed be a troublesome matter. Although he was still unclear about Fang Tianming's situation, the strength of an ability user who could manipulate fate should not be underestimated by anyone, and Lin Luo was no exception.

"Fang Tianming, I regret to inform you that I have no intention of usurping anyone's fate today," Zi Ye said coldly, looking at the man who appeared handsome and cool but whom she found very annoying with a mocking gaze

"Tao Ge, I am Lin Luo. You must be off work now?" Lin Luo has very few friends, and the security guard at the entrance of the community, Zhou Yuntao, counts as one.

Today, he was supposed to have finished work, but he received a call from the hospital not long ago, indicating that there was a surgery that required his personal involvement. He had no choice but to rush back to the hospital. Upon arriving, he encountered a situation where the patient's family was temporarily short on funds; without money, the surgery could not proceed. This has almost become a common practice in most hospitals. Although Li Zhongxiong felt somewhat averse to this practice, he was powerless to change the situation. The only thing he could do was to pay the medical expenses on behalf of the patient.

"It's alright, it was my own carelessness." A strange light flashed quickly in the boy's eyes as he smiled and got up from the ground

However, today a girl suddenly came to the door, claiming to be Lin Luo's girlfriend, and to her astonishment, her beloved Luo Ge actually acknowledged that girl, who was more beautiful than her, as his girlfriend. In that moment, Lin Shuang felt as if the sky had fallen down.

It is strange that Lan Xue and Li Zhongxiong would never have encountered each other in this lifetime!" Lin Luo was still deep in thought when Xiao Hui's voice suddenly rang out, "What seems to be the problem?"

◇◇◇◇

Besides that, I can't think of any other possibilities!" Little Gray said lazily, "I tell you, Little Lin, I've been running for too long today and need to take a break. The rest of the tasks will be up to you!"

Could it be that Xiao Hui's calculations are incorrect? Lin Luo thought to himself, and he couldn't help but harbor doubts about Xiao Hui.

"Xiaolinzi, where did you run off to so quickly this afternoon?" Zhou Yuntao surprisingly still held a grudge about Lin Luo ignoring him not long ago. "What? Calling me now, are you inviting me for a drink?"

Yunhua Group Warehouse

Not far away, Zhou Yuntao ordered a large glass of beer and was observing Lin Shuang's movements.
