Huo Shaoheng had just finished his sentence, but the smile on the black nurse’s had already frozen. She snapped back into reality after a few seconds and stammered, “D—d… Discharge him?!”

“Yes, we’re here to discharge him.” Huo Shaoheng kept his sentences short and simple. “My men will be completing the discharge doc.u.ments now. Please move. We’d like to pack his things for him.”

As Huo Shaoheng spoke, the men outside had already received instructions to bring the legal proof of ident.i.ty given to Gu Nianzhi by the Barbados government—her Barbados pa.s.sport and proof of direct relation—to the administration building of the hospital to get on with Gu Xiangwen’s discharge procedure.

The people from the administration were shocked upon seeing the doc.u.ments. They didn’t want to proceed with the discharge, but it couldn’t be helped. These people had provided all the evidence required for the discharge. What else could they do? Rules were rules, even if Gu Yanran had left instructions for them.

“Please… Please hold on. We will have to verify the doc.u.ments.” The people from the administration department stammered and ran off to their office to call Gu Yanran.

Gu Yanran had left a number here to contact her directly should there be an emergency. Even though the people from the hospital did not know who that number belonged to, they had tried it a couple of times in the past, and their problems had been immediately resolved.

However, this time around, they couldn’t get through no matter how they tried.

Huo Shaoheng and the men were waiting for approximately 10 minutes outside. When they saw that the people who were supposed to handle the discharge disappear into the office, they knocked on the counter.

“Where’re you guys?! Do you need so long to verify those doc.u.ments? Can’t you just check directly with the government?!”

The people from the administration department tried for about half an hour but still couldn’t manage to get a call through to the number they had. With the people outside rus.h.i.+ng them, they had no choice but to abide by the rules. If not, they might be charged with illegally holding a hostage…

The people from the office emerged slowly, frowned, and began to proceed with the discharge procedure.

Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi were seen packing Gu Xiangwen’s belongings in his ward. From his breathing apparatus to his daily change of clothes, they packed everything that could be hauled away.

The black nurse stood to the side and rubbed her hands. She repeatedly told them, “He hasn’t recovered… Where are you taking him?”

…

in 30 minutes, the people on Gu Yanran’s side were beginning to panic.

“Should we report this to Miss Gu?”

“Can’t we check what happened again?”

“We’ve sent people over, but they didn’t give us any form of response…”

What they didn’t know was that the men they’d sent had been defeated and locked up in a small room, waiting for the entire incident to be over before they could be let out by the Hua Xia Empire’s Special Forces Elites based in South America.

Waiting for them didn’t seem like a good idea. When they finally decided to report to Gu Yanran, it was already 40 minutes later.

“What? You can’t get through to the hospital?” Gu Yanran asked in shock. “There isn’t any network, either? Then don’t you know how to send people down to check? It’s not that far from here, is it? Just about a 10-minute drive!” She looked up from her breakfast in the garden’s shelter and glared at her subordinate.

“We’ve sent people, but we can’t contact them, either…”

Gu Yanran’s brow furrowed. She stood up in an instant.

Sh*t! she cursed in her head. Someone must have found out… It’s too late.

Gu Yanran’s expression darkened, and she made a decision.

“Quick! Bring more men and inform the security company. Get them to provide us with military aid. I’ll go with you guys!” she commanded as she took her phone out and sent a text for help.

Upon sending the text, she threw her napkin, turned, and left in a flash.

Gu Yanran left so quickly that she stepped on a corner of her tablecloth on accident. The tablecloth was pulled from the table. The silverware on the table was thrown onto the ground as the tablecloth was pulled. However, Gu Yanran was not disturbed by the noise and left hurriedly all the same.

…

After 40 minutes of going over the discharge procedure, it was finally done.

Even though Huo Shaoheng and the rest of the guys were worried, they pretended to be calm, as they didn’t want to raise any suspicion. In any case, they’d cut off all forms of communication. They didn’t have to be worried that the hospital staff would have anything else up their sleeves.

The director of the hospital arrived at Gu Xiangwen’s ward personally and looked at Gu Nianzhi. “You’re Gu Xiangwen’s youngest daughter? I’ve never heard of you before!”

“Oh?” Gu Nianzhi tilted her head and smiled, looking cheeky. “Why haven’t you? My sister hasn’t mentioned me before?”

“Your sister? Oh, Miss Gu. Nope, she hasn’t…” The director of the hospital looked Gu Nianzhi up and down and commented, “You’re Young Miss Gu. You don’t look like your sister at all.”
