They plan to start with Eddie Peng.

The two arrived at the hospital where Lu Bing had been received the day before. As long as Lu Bing's body was still in the hospital, they could simply wait there and they would naturally be able to meet Qiu Pi again.

But when they arrived at the hospital, they discovered something strange. Geng Miaowan said to the nurse at the service desk, "Could you please check again for me? It was a woman who was brought in around 7 or 8 pm last night. She was in a traffic accident and died despite all efforts to save her."

The nurse patiently looked down and checked the computer again. She looked up and said, "I'm sorry, I've already checked. Our hospital admitted several traffic accident patients yesterday, but they were all during the day. No one was brought in for traffic accidents last night."

"That's impossible. Check it again carefully and see if you've made a mistake somewhere."

Xu Ruwen noticed that the nurse's expression had changed, so he quickly pulled Geng Miaowan away and whispered in her ear, "Calm down, or you'll scare the nurse."

Geng Miaowan then realized that it wasn't worth rushing things with her.

On her way back, she bought a newspaper and searched every corner, but couldn't find a single report related to the accident last night. The woman named Lu Bing, who looked exactly like her, had simply disappeared.

They returned to the hotel empty-handed as night fell. After dinner, or rather, after Geng Miaowan had finished eating, while she was cutting fruit, Xu Ruwen exclaimed in surprise from the living room, "Wan'er, come and take a look!"

As Geng Miaowan cut fruit, she curiously peeked out from behind Liu, asking, "What's up?"

However, the ease on her face froze when she saw the image on television. A news report was playing. In the report, a man sat dazedly in a pool of blood, embracing a pale-faced woman, his body trembling slightly.

Judging from the surrounding scenery on TV, it should be near the airport. That's where they met Qiu Pi and Peng Yuxian.

"Could there have been another traffic accident at the airport?" She looked at Xu Ruwen with a puzzled expression.

Xu Ruwen shook his head. The camera then focused on the woman being lifted into the ambulance; it was a face identical to Geng Miaowan's. "Lu...Lu Bing? How...how could this be..."

How could someone who was supposed to be dead yesterday suddenly reappear... Geng Miaowan found it hard to believe.

Then, the camera zoomed out again. Through the lens, they saw that after Peng Yuxian left with the ambulance, Qiu Pi squatted in place for a while, then slowly stood up, turned around and walked in one direction.

The news had ended, but Geng Miaowan kept thinking about what she had seen on TV, feeling that something was wrong.

She downloaded related videos online and watched them for a long time, finally freezing the frame at the moment Qiu Pi turned around. She waved to the person next to her, and Xu Ruwen came over. "What's wrong? Did you find something?" he asked.

Geng Miaowan pointed to the empty street opposite Qiu Pi after he turned around, "Here, I remember I was standing in this spot yesterday, but why isn't it here?"

After being reminded by her, Xu Ruwen suddenly realized, "That's right, this is too strange."

Huangfu Aohan also wanted to watch, but since he couldn't transform yet, he could only circle around their feet. Seeing this, Geng Miaowan bent down, picked it up, and let it sit on her lap to watch.

Then they searched online for videos taken by netizens, but couldn't find Geng Miaowan anywhere. Qiu Pi turned around and left immediately, without lingering there.

This was so strange; the group racked their brains but couldn't figure out what was going on. Before they knew it, it was past midnight.

The next morning, Geng Miaowan had just emerged from her meditation when the door to her room was opened from the outside. Startled, her first thought was of a thief. Then she remembered it was already daylight; a thief wouldn't choose this time to come out.

Before she could think it through, a woman suddenly screamed from outside, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Geng Miaowan quickly opened the door and came out of the room. Inside the living room, a waiter was standing there, holding a broom and pointing it at Xu Ruwen, who was sitting on the sofa, his face filled with suspicion. Turning his head and seeing Geng Miaowan come out of the room, he pointed the broom at her again, asking, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Geng Miaowan was puzzled by her question, "Of course we are guests here."

“We don’t have any record of this in our hotel…” The waitress glanced again at the register in her hand, which showed that the room was empty. She looked up from the register with a puzzled expression. Geng Miaowan didn’t seem like a bad person, but she couldn’t just ignore someone who had illegally entered their hotel room.

As she spoke, she pressed the intercom button and said into the other end, "Manager, manager, two unidentified people have broken into room A2501."

After hanging up the walkie-talkie, she stared at the two of them warily, as if afraid they would flee to escape punishment.

Geng Miaowan found her expression somewhat amusing. "I think you must have made a mistake somewhere. We checked into the hotel early yesterday morning."

The waiter completely ignored what she was saying and just kept staring at the two of them, waiting for the manager to arrive.

A short while later, the hotel's housekeeping manager arrived. Unlike the waiter, he didn't start yelling as soon as he arrived.

First, he asked the waiter what had happened. After the waiter explained the situation, he contacted the front desk and then politely greeted Geng Miaowan and Xu Ruwen, saying, "Sir and Madam, we cannot find your check-in information in our hotel system. However, I believe you two certainly did not enter the room through irregular means. It must have been an oversight by our staff. I will arrange for someone to re-register you now, is that alright?"

Geng Miaowan nodded. She had seen the receptionist register her information early yesterday morning, but since the hotel manager had said so, she would register her information again.

Anyway, it's not a big deal.

After saying a lot of thank yous for your understanding and cooperation, the manager was about to leave when Geng Miaowan stopped him and asked, "Manager, are you aware of the car accident that happened near the airport yesterday?" (To be continued.)
