Almost the entire city was in search of the so-called terrorists, but the person they were looking for was lounging in a high-end white co the news cole man orked for Wall Street He was beaten to a pulp by Xia Lei and had his lie room
Crunch… Crunch…
Zhu Xuanyue sat on the pristine leather couch with her legs folded She munched noisily on chips as she watched the news At theabout the assassination of Lockheed Martin’s CEO Folsom The woman pointed at the TV innocently and asked, “Uncle Xia, didn’t we do that?”
“Yeah And you still dare talk about it?” Xia Lei rolled his eyes at her “If you hadn’t kicked Folso wouldn’t have happened”
Everything was under control but that kick had foiled an otherwise perfect plan
“Do you blame me?” Zhu Xuanyue blinked her round eyes pitifully at hilare “Are you not the woman to blame?”
It was then that Zhu Xuanyue silenced herself and resu on the chips
Xia Lei returned his attention to the TV, but his heart had spiralled off to think about other things

There was still no news on Hattori Mei’s fate It would be great if she died That way, all traces of their escapade would be buried If she was alive, she would most definitely tell theht even raise suspicion about his true identity
Hattori Mei was a thorn in his side
“If she’s still alive, she ery theatre in some hospital now But there are so ton, where could she be at?” Xia Lei pondered quietly

The laptop screen displayed e that showed the main lobby, ICU, corridors, elevators and an office area There was no footage of the patient wards but it was to no surprise The aspect of patient privacy was important after all No one would wish to be watched when they were adht?
“Hattori Mei fell froh Folsom’s corpse cushi+oned her fall to an extent, there was no way she got off with light injuries She’s probably in the ICU or in the surgical theatre receiving eers knocked on the keyboard loudly and the footage on-screen changed abruptly
All intensive care units in Lincoln Hospital were non on display, there was also footage of the eency room
As he expected, Hattori Mei was currently under the knife
One of her legs suffered an open fracture, causing a piece of bone to jut out fro wasn’t the only casualty She also sustained broken ribs, which warped her torso weirdly Just from the observable bone injuries, Xia Lei could deterans were severely injured Hattori Meia serious concussion to her brain

A surgeon stared at the unannounced intruders and fumed, “What’s the matter? Who are you? Don’t you know that you’re not supposed to enter the theatre in the ery?!”
A Caucasian man answered, “We’re from the CIA This patient is important to us She’s relevant to a terrorist attack Doctor, please enlighten me with her current condition”
