Chapter 105 Cooperation
On New Year's Eve, the inpatient department was so quiet that only the low hum of the air conditioner could be heard. Even the number of medical staff walking in the corridor was much less than usual.
The door of the VIP ward was gently pushed open. Only a night light was on in the room. The dim light fell on the figure sleeping on the bed, outlining a vague outline.
The masked male nurse, holding a medicine box, approached the bed with light steps, "Mr. Yu, it's time to change the dressing."
The person on the bed showed no reaction, as if he was fast asleep.
Even when he put down the medicine box, he deliberately made a loud noise, but still did not wake the man up.
A cold light flashed in the male nurse's eyes, and a shadow quietly covered the bed.
His right hand slid out from the side pocket of the medicine box, and a scalpel with a cold white light stabbed at the person on the bed without hesitation.
Just as the blade was about to pierce the fabric, the quilt was suddenly thrown open.
The expected warm body did not appear. Instead, a slender but incredibly strong hand reached out and grabbed his wrist with lightning speed.
The male nurse felt a numbness in his wrist, and the scalpel fell to the floor with a sharp clang.
"Good evening." A cold female voice sounded in the silent ward, with a hint of mockery at the end.
The male nurse suddenly looked up and saw that the person on the bed was not Yu Heng, but Yu Zhi.
Her hair was casually tied back, with no strands of hair on her smooth forehead. Her eyes were bright and sharp as she stared at him, making him feel tense all over.
The male nurse's face suddenly changed, obviously realizing that he had fallen into a trap.
He didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He suddenly took out a small electric shock device from his pocket with his left hand and pressed it towards Yu Zhi's abdomen.
Yu Zhi was prepared. She dodged sideways and released his wrist, then swept her right leg and kicked him hard on the knee.
The male nurse's knees went weak and he almost fell to his knees, but he gritted his teeth and held on, then turned around and ran out of the ward.
Yu Zhi immediately chased after him, pulling Yu Heng's phone from her pocket and calling Zhou Qiyin: "Xiao Zhou, the target has appeared. Have the security team immediately surround the hospital and don't leave any exits open."
"Miss?" Zhou Qiyin's voice was clearly dazed. "What about my boss? Is he okay?"
"He's perfectly safe. Just do as I say. I'll explain it to you later."
"clear!"
After hanging up the phone, Yu Zhi had already chased into the safety passage.
The other party seemed to be in a panic, but in fact they were well prepared. Even the rooftop that was locked all year round was unobstructed.
Yu Zhi's heart tightened, and she immediately informed Zhou Qiyin: "Keep a close eye on the airspace, he might try to break out from the rooftop."
When Yu Zhi stepped onto the rooftop, the snow was falling even harder.
Goose feather-like snowflakes fell on the railings and soon accumulated into a thin layer.
The male caregiver was already standing by the guardrail at the edge of the rooftop, with his back to the neon lights of the city and facing her.
The mask covered most of his face, and the brim of his baseball cap was pulled down very low, casting a dark shadow under his eyebrows and eyes.
He was wrapped in a cold and low atmosphere, facing the light of the distant advertising screen, like a demon crawling out of the abyss, exuding a desperate ruthlessness.
Yu Zhi stopped and the snow fell on the tips of her hair, quickly melting into water droplets.
She scoffed softly, her voice as cold as snowflakes: "Do you think I won't be able to recognize you just because you cover your face tightly?"
At the same time, in the VIP ward.
When the Yu family security team rushed in according to Zhou Qiyin's instructions, the first thing they saw was their boss Yu Heng crawling out from under the bed with a bitter look on his face, his hair a mess like a bird's nest, and his neck crooked.
"Boss?! Are you okay?"
Yu Heng rubbed the back of his neck, which was sore from being beaten, grimacing in pain and frowning, "What are you still standing there for? Come over here and give me a hand..."
The security guards rushed forward and carefully lifted him up from the ground.
Yu Heng's memory was precisely locked on Yu Zhi's sudden appearance and the attack she gave him without mercy.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Where's that damn girl?"
The bodyguards looked at each other, no one dared to speak, they just raised their hands and pointed at the ceiling above their heads.
Yu Heng was stunned, not understanding: "What do you mean?"
One of them said with a brave face: "Ahem... the young lady... chased the target we wanted to catch and went up to the rooftop."
"What?!"
Yu Heng's face instantly darkened to the point of dripping water. He violently broke free from the bodyguard's hand and rushed out the door. "You let a little girl go after him?! Don't you know how dangerous it is?"
"Boss, don't be impulsive," the bodyguards quickly pulled him back, "The backup team is already rushing to the rooftop."
At this moment, there was a loud "bang" outside the window, as if something had hit the building.
Yu Heng suddenly stopped in his tracks, his attention immediately drawn to that place.
Through the glass and the falling snowflakes, he happened to meet Yu Zhi's eyes as she fell from the top floor.
Her clothes were torn in several places, her arms were stained with blood, and her body was falling down the wall at an increasingly faster speed.
"Yu Zhi!"
Yu Heng rushed over, his face instantly turned pale, his hands tightly gripping the window frame, his knuckles turning white.
Seeing that Yu Zhi was about to fall to the fourth floor, she remained calm and reached out to grab the fixed fire escape outside the window.
But just as her fingertips were about to touch the ladder rail, a hand suddenly reached out, firmly grasped her wrist, and steadily relieved the force of her fall.
With her body suspended in mid-air, Yu Zhi looked up in surprise and met a pair of smiling eyes.
Song Nuan was lying on the fourth-floor windowsill, her other hand grasping the climbing rope by the window. Her voice carried over with the wind, a hint of teasing: "I never thought Miss Yu would be so embarrassed."
Yu Zhi pursed her lips, using her strength to steady herself, then reached out and grabbed the horizontal bar of the fire escape. After she stood firmly, she spoke, her voice still a little breathless: "Accident."
Her eyes were fixed on Song Nuan's face, and she didn't beat around the bush: "I thought you weren't going to show up after sending me the information."
"I prefer to do things myself rather than using someone else's knife to kill someone."
As she spoke, she let go of the windowsill and, using the power of the climbing rope, jumped lightly into the room on the fourth floor, making no sound when she landed.
She turned around and extended her hand towards Yu Zhi: "We have the same goal, why don't we cooperate?"
Yu Zhi stared at her hand for two seconds without saying anything, but reached out and shook it, her attitude clear.
Without Song Nuan's help, Yu Zhi nimbly flipped in. She leaned against the wall and straightened her torn clothes.
"The entire hospital has been surrounded by our people. All exits are guarded. Zhou Qiyin is also watching the airspace, so he can't escape for the time being."
Song Nuan leaned against the opposite wall, his eyes swept across the wound on her arm, and suddenly asked: "How long can you maintain your current condition?"
Yu Zhi paused for a moment, but didn't hide it. "Two hours at most."
Song Nuan didn't ask any more questions. She took out a small silver metal box from her pocket and threw it to Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi took the box, opened it and found a sealed injection inside. She was very familiar with the label on it.
It can help her maintain her peak performance throughout the whole day without any side effects.
"Come up after the fight."
After Song Nuan finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the door.
Yu Zhi did not hesitate, pulled out the needle, and injected the medicine directly into the vein in her arm.
The medicine entered the blood, and within a few seconds, most of the fatigue in the body dissipated, and even the pain in the wound on the arm was relieved.
She put away the empty syringe and quickly caught up with Song Nuan.
The night is getting darker.
The sound of alarms in the hospital could be heard faintly, intertwined with the sporadic sounds of fireworks in the distance.
Yu Zhi had just reported to Yu Heng that she was safe when the alarm in the corridor suddenly changed its tone, the flashing red warning light suddenly went out, and the emergency light took a long time to come on.
All that remained in my ears was the dead silence after the air conditioner was turned off; even the sound of air flow from the vents disappeared.
