The gate was slowly closing. Lu Rankong stepped on the hood of a military vehicle in front of him, leaped over the heads of several soldiers at the gate, and rushed into the gate like an arrow.

It was not until they landed that the soldiers reacted and raised their guns.

Lan Yu followed behind and slashed at the forearms of two of the soldiers. The ion gun fell to the ground instantly and rushed into the gap in the gate.

The automatic gate closed and the soldier rushed to open it and pressed the alarm on his arm.

A lieutenant colonel from the Gositi army rushed over after hearing the noise and quickly turned off the soldiers' alarms.

"Colonel Jiang, the two of them rushed in." The soldier shouted in panic.

Lieutenant Colonel Jiang said, "Just charge in. They are Colonel Lu and Colonel K from Zhata."

"I know their identities, but are there any rules——"

"What are we, the peripheral personnel on duty here, mainly guarding against?" Colonel Jiang asked calmly.

The soldiers looked at each other and replied, "Lonte people..."

"Isn't that enough? You must have heard about the deeds of these two colonels. They have already captured several Lonte people. If they want to go in, there must be a reason for them to go in."

The soldier looked at the gate, then at Colonel Jiang, and shut his mouth.

Lieutenant Colonel Jiang patted him on the shoulder and walked away to continue his patrol.

After Lu Rankong rushed into the gate, Lin Zhu was no longer there. There is a large garden in front of me and a building in the distance, which should be the ward.

This inspection required that patients should not be disturbed or their daily lives disrupted, so patients in hospital gowns could still be seen taking walks accompanied by nurses.

He was about to go to the ward building when Lan Yu caught up with him and stopped him.

"There's no one in front of the ward building. They should be visiting other places. Don't go there for now."

Lu Rankong stopped a nurse pushing a wheelchair, showed his officer ID, and asked, "Did you see an officer passing by?"

The nurse shook her head. "I didn't run into any officers."

"So where did the people they visited go?"

The nurse knew that those who could enter the hospital today were not ordinary people, so she pointed to the back and said, "They are in the office building, listening to the director's report."

Lan Yu looked in the direction she pointed and saw a four-story building in the shade of trees in the distance.

The two ran along the boulevard and met several patients on the way. Some were sitting on the benches in a daze, some were squatting on the grass by the roadside, and the nurses were patiently staying with them.

There were more than a dozen soldiers standing fifty meters in front of the small building. There were also personal guards standing around the building, looking around vigilantly and speaking into the intercom.

When the soldiers saw Lan Yu and the other man running towards the small building, they all put the guns on their waists.

"Stop, don't move..."

Lan Yu took out his officer ID as he ran and shouted, "Colonel K and Colonel Lu Rankong of the Third Mecha Battalion of the Empire stationed on Star Ta, there is evidence that the Longte people have sneaked into the sanatorium, and we are now hunting them down."

"Colonel K and Colonel Lu? The Lunt people are coming in?" The soldiers looked at each other and became nervous.

The two men ran closer and asked, "Did a captain officer approach this building just now?"

The soldiers had obviously heard of the two and shook their heads cooperatively, "No, not a single one."

"Then is there anyone going upstairs?" Lu Rankong asked.

"No, this is the only passage. Not only are we guarding here, but there are also guards around the small building and on every floor. Emperor Chengfa and the chiefs are upstairs, with accompanying guards. No one else went up during this process."

Lu Rankong wiped the sweat off his forehead, finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Lan Yu and said hoarsely: "He hasn't come yet, that's good."

Lan Yu asked the nearest soldier, "Where will the chiefs go next?"

The soldier replied: "I will go to the ward building to see the patients who are recuperating, and then go to the mother and baby center."

The two looked at each other and said, "Let's go to the ward building..."

Lan Yu took two steps forward and turned around, stretched out her hand to the soldier, and moved her fingers, "Give me two HR5s."

The soldier said hurriedly: "I only have one..."

“Bring it here…”

Taking the injection thrown to him, he handed it to Lu Rankong and reached out to another one.

The soldier quickly took out the injection and threw it over.

"Should we let them go find Lin Zhu?" Lan Yu asked.

Lu Rankong shook his head and said, "No need, just guard this place well. If we look for people, we will be dispersed, so let's go just the two of us." "Remember, there are Longte people who have sneaked into the hospital, don't let anyone go upstairs, no matter who they are." Lu Rankong warned.

"Understood..." The soldiers stood ready, "We will guard this place. Not even a fly can fly in."

The two walked towards the ward building, discussing things as they walked.

"Since K didn't go to the office building, he should have gone to the ward building in advance to make preparations. The chiefs will go there next." Lu Rankong said.

"Wait..." Lan Yu suddenly pulled him.

"What's wrong?"

“These are questions that patients and nurses should ask, too.”

Lu Rankong looked at the patients and nurses basking in the sun on the lawn and said, "No need to ask, send them all back to the wards and lock them up under close surveillance."

He turned and walked towards the office building, waving to several soldiers from a distance, "Six or seven people come..."

Several soldiers trotted over, and Lu Rankong pointed at the patients and said, "Take all the patients and nurses here to the treatment building and keep them under guard. Release them after the inspection is completed."

"yes……"

When Lan Yu saw Lu Rankong talking to the soldiers, the nurses all had nervous expressions on their faces, several patients looked over there evasively, and even the one squatting on the lawn packing mushrooms raised his head.

Lan Yu narrowed her eyes and said to Lu Rankong who was walking over, "There's something wrong with these people."

Lu Rankong glanced at him, "These people? It seems like there are too many of them?"

"They reacted strangely, both the nurses and the patients."

Lu Rankong pondered for a moment and said, "Then go ask..."

He asked the soldiers to stop and walked to the patient squatting on the lawn. He squatted down and looked at him carefully. He said, "Let's start with this mushroom."

The mushroom didn't react at all to the person in front of it, just like a real mushroom, and it even shook its head slightly when a gust of wind blew.

Lu Rankong looked at him for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up and said, "No need to ask. It's just pretending to be stupid. Just take him away."

Upon hearing this, several soldiers immediately stepped forward. When one of them was about to touch the mushroom, he suddenly jumped up and took two steps back, shouting, "Don't take me away, don't take me away."

Lu Rankong's expression changed and he rushed out quickly. In the next second, the injection had reached Mushroom's neck.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have pretended. I was wrong." Mushroom didn't dare to move, but started shouting loudly.

Several patients and nurses not far away ran over here, shouting in panic: "Sir, Sir, please don't do this. We can't do anything about it. We were wrong."

The soldiers all drew their guns, pointed them, and shouted, "No one is allowed to come over here. Stand still where you are."

Those people were so scared that they dared not run towards this side anymore and just stood there without moving.

Lan Yu looked at the situation and thought that they were not from Longte, but she still asked, "What's going on with you?"

Mushroom replied tremblingly: "We are doctors in the hospital."

"Doctor? What are these?" Lu Rankong took back the injection from his neck and pointed at other patients.

The patients all stood there and nodded, and the nurses were busy proving, "Yes, they are all doctors."

Mushroom said with a bitter face: "The big shots are coming to inspect, and the higher-ups asked us to do what we normally do in the hospital. But do we really dare to release all the patients? What if something goes wrong? So we can only pretend to be patients ourselves."

"We were wrong. We didn't expect the military to be so strict. Anyone pretending to be a patient will be caught." The patient closest to us kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Lu Rankong laughed incredulously twice, and then said, "You guys are very dedicated."

“It’s okay, it’s okay…”

Lan Yu put her hand to her mouth and coughed, then asked, "You have been here all this time, have you seen anyone else passing by here?"

"No, no..." Everyone shook their heads.

"None of you have ever left alone, or encountered any unusual phenomena along the way, right?"

Everyone started talking at once: "We didn't find anything unusual, and we didn't dare to leave halfway. What if those big shots came out of the office building?"

At this moment, a dripping sound came from the mushroom.

He took out a terminal from his pocket and turned it on. A deliberately low but nervous voice came out: "Are you all ready? They are about to come downstairs."

"I'm ready..." Mushroom glanced at Lu Rankong and Lan Yu, and replied with gritted teeth.

"But there is good news. The big shots don't have enough time, so they won't visit the ward building. They will leave directly to the next location." The voice was filled with uncontrollable joy.

Several doctors in hospital gowns cheered softly.

Lu Rankong whispered to Lan Yu, "In that case, the only places that haven't been checked are the medical building and the area at the main entrance."

"Anyway, your father and the others won't go to the medical building. No matter where he is hiding now, he won't have another chance along the way."

Lu Rankong curled the corners of his lips in a relaxed manner and said, "Just go and take a look at the area in front of the gate."

"Then you continue working, we'll go somewhere else." Lu Rankong said to the doctors, and ordered several soldiers to return to their posts.

"Okay, okay, thank you." Mushroom said with a grunt, "Then could you please keep it a secret for us and not report this to the higher-ups?"

Lu Rankong led Lan Yu to the gate and waved his hand, saying, "Keep performing, your acting is pretty good." Then he stopped and asked them, "Where are the two officers who came in to investigate a few days ago?"

"Are there any more officers coming in to check?" Mushroom looked at the nearest patient.

The patient said in confusion: "No..."

Lan Yu explained: "Just four days ago, I came in as a patient."

"Four days ago, four days ago..." Mushroom slapped his forehead and said loudly, "Four days ago, the dean brought two patients. The surveillance showed that they tried to sneak out of the ward in the middle of the night and snooped around, carrying weapons they found from somewhere. Because they were too dangerous and aggressive, they were temporarily detained..."

The sound of the mushrooms became smaller and smaller. Lu Rankong laughed and continued to walk towards the gate with Lan Yu, saying, "Let the officers out."

“Yes, yes, yes…”

Not long after he walked out, Lu Rankong's terminal rang.

"It's Liu Deng..." he said as he opened the terminal.

"Rankong, are you and K in the mental health center?" Liu Deng asked.

Lu Rankong replied angrily: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"You two are not allowed to enter without a thorough inspection--"

"General Liu, why did you send Chen Yutan and the others? Did you know that something bad almost happened?" Lu Rankong's voice grew louder.

Liu Deng sighed and said, "Originally our mecha battalion was not included, but something unexpected happened this morning. Four teams of soldiers stationed in Gexidi felt unwell right after getting on the bus. After checking, it was found that there was something wrong with the breakfast and the ingredients were not fresh. At that time, the eldest prince said to cancel today's inspection, but the chiefs insisted. Later, they had no choice but to use our mecha battalion to fill the number."

"There was a problem with breakfast, and it also affected four local garrisons. There must be a problem in Gositi's army." Lu Rankong said.

"The results of the investigation haven't come out yet. Those chiefs insisted on following the usual process. When Emperor Chengfa's proposal to contact Longte Star has not been finalized, he has to take their ideas into consideration." Liu Deng's voice was a little helpless: "But fortunately, it's just a peripheral job."

"But something has already happened, and we haven't found the person yet." Lu Rankong's heart, which had just relaxed, began to rise again.

"Colonel K, Colonel K..." A weak voice came from behind the flower bed not far from the gate.

Lu Rankong hung up the terminal directly and turned around quickly with Lan Yu.

Lin Zhu was staggering out from behind the flower bed, his face pale and covered with fallen leaves.

He staggered two steps and held onto a tree beside him, "I was just...just invaded by the Lonte people."

Lan Yu and the other man exchanged glances quickly, held the injection in their hands, walked closer and asked, "What's going on?"

Lin Zhu leaned against the tree and gasped, "Chen Yuqin... Chen Yuqin is from Longte. Just now when we were outside, he called me aside, and then I was invaded."

He pressed his hand on his temples and said with a painful expression, "I was in a trance for a while, until the Lunt alien in my body disappeared, and then I slowly woke up."

Lu Rankong stared at him without saying anything. Lan Yu asked, "What about the Longte people? Where did they go?"

"I don't know. I just vaguely remember that he ran across the flower bed. I was still dizzy at the time," said Lin Zhu.

Lu Rankong looked at him, with no emotion visible on his face. He then walked up to him and said, "Then go out first..."

"Okay, get out."

"Do you need me to help you?" Lu Rankong asked.

"No, I can walk."

When they reached the gate, Lu Rankong asked the soldiers outside to open the door, pointed at Lin Zhu and said to them: "This is Captain Lin. He was invaded by the Longte people. Now take him out of the hospital to rest."

The three soldiers were very shocked and looked at Lin Zhu as if they were facing a great enemy. One of them ran towards Colonel Jiang who was not far away.

Luo Yang had been waiting outside the cordon, waving at them from a distance and asking loudly, "What's going on?"

Lan Yu shook her head slightly at him.

Lieutenant Colonel Jiang hurried over and asked repeatedly, "Did you find anything? Did you catch anything?"

"Lieutenant Colonel Jiang, I suspect that Captain Lin might be a Longte. I am handing him over to you for strict custody. Send him to the military headquarters quickly. Do not let your guard down during the journey."

"Yes..." Colonel Jiang said in a deep voice.

Lu Rankong said to Lin Zhu again: "Captain Lin, you know the importance of today, so I have to inconvenience you for a while before your identity is confirmed."

"I understand. I understand." Lin Zhu smiled weakly.

Lieutenant Colonel Jiang turned around and shouted, "More people, more people, come over here, escort Captain Lin to the car safely."

A group of soldiers guarding the convoy ran over after hearing the order.

Lu Rankong frowned and said, "We don't need too many people."

Lieutenant Colonel Jiang turned around and ordered, "Just guard the people in the first few cars and come over. The rest will stay and don't need to come."

Lu Rankong thought for a moment and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Jiang, you have to escort them personally and bring an extra team of soldiers, all equipped with HR5 injections."

"no problem……"

Lan Yu felt that this was a good way to deal with it. Regardless of whether the K in Lin Zhu's body had escaped or not, he just had to be taken out of the mental hospital and kept under guard.

"Then go..." Lu Rankong shook his head in the direction of Lin Zhu, "You have to pay attention. If you find any signs of Longte people during this process, the others will use injections on him immediately."

"I understand. We have all received training." The soldiers on the side replied.

Under the supervision of a group of people, two soldiers helped Lin Zhu walk towards the military vehicle, and Lu Rankong and the other person returned to the yard.

The door was then closed tightly.

"Do you think the Longte people are still inside?" Lan Yu asked.

Lu Rankong frowned and thought, "I can't say for sure, but I can't figure out his intentions. After all, under such tight defense, he can't get close to my father anyway."

"Just pay more attention to emergencies." Lan Yu comforted.

The two followed the same path to the office building. Not long after they walked, they heard footsteps coming from the front.

A group of officers and guards were trotting ahead, followed by a group of people walking towards this side while talking.

At the front of the crowd was a tall, middle-aged alpha. His facial features were so similar to Lu Rankong's that Lan Yu recognized him as Emperor Chengfa at a glance.

The face was also well-defined, but Emperor Chengfa looked more aged, and his tightly pursed lips revealed his majesty.

He was talking to a gray-haired old man beside him and walking slowly towards the main door, followed by the chiefs of various planets and the director in hospital uniform with a nervous look on his face.

Lan Yu and Lu Rankong retreated to the lawn to make way, and Lu Rankong whispered to him: "That's my father."

"I know..." Lan Yu whispered.

"The one behind him is my eldest brother Gu Jun."

Lan Yu followed his instructions and recognized Gu Jun. The two brothers look very similar, but their temperaments and eye shapes are different, with Gu Jun being more handsome.

Gu Jun may have noticed the gaze and looked over there. After seeing Lu Rankong, he paused, then smiled.

Lu Rankong half-raised the hand that he and Lan Yu were holding in front of his chest, shook it gently twice, and raised his eyebrows proudly.

Gu Jun quickly looked Lan Yu up and down, then nodded slightly to Lu Rankong.

Lan Yu has acted in so many dramas and lived under the spotlight and the attention of the public, but when she saw these little actions of the two brothers, she actually felt a little embarrassed.

He coughed lightly and turned his eyes away, but did not struggle to break free from the hand he was holding with Lu Rankong.

Emperor Chengfa and the elegant-looking old scholar walked in front, talking all the way, with several guards following on each side, watching their surroundings vigilantly.

Among the group of chief executives behind him, someone began to ask the "patients" in a friendly manner.

A chief half-knelt down and talked to Mushroom, who faithfully played his role, with a blank look in his eyes and said nothing.

The chief turned to look at the nurse next to him: "What's this?"

"He thinks he's a mushroom," the nurse replied quickly.

The chief looked at Mushroom and said, "So he doesn't understand anything?"

"He can understand, but will deliberately ignore it. This kind of patient is immersed in his own world, and external intervention has little effect on him. We need to treat him patiently." The nurse replied.

The chief seemed to be very interested in him and kept staring at him. Lu Rankong and Lan Yu were standing not far away and noticed that the mushroom was becoming more and more nervous and its whole body was shaking slightly.

"He seems to understand our conversation and has his own emotions." The chief turned to the nurse and said.

The nurse forced herself to smile: "That's because he's receiving treatment in our hospital and his condition is getting better."

Seeing that Mushroom's forehead was beginning to sweat, Lu Rankong walked over and interrupted, "Mr. Chief, I know him."

"Do you know him?" asked the Chief.

"His home is near the military headquarters of Zata Star. He was sent here recently. He was indeed very ill before. We all know him. He is much better now." Lu Rankong lied.

The chief saw the officer's ID on his chest and believed his story.

"Is this much better?" The chief still didn't quite understand.

Lu Rankong sighed and said, "He used to think he was a potato."

"Ah, potatoes? That's not..."

"Yes, several times people were suffocated when they were dug out."

The chief stood up and sighed, "It's really much better."

The group stopped and the old man introduced the various buildings in the courtyard to Emperor Chengfa. Following his instructions, Emperor Chengfa turned his head and his eyes fell on Lu Rankong, and he was slightly startled.

Lan Yu saw his eyes drop, and after he paused for half a second on their clasped hands, he quickly glanced at her.

There was no emotion in that look, but Lan Yu's muscles were tense. He subconsciously stood straight, holding his breath, and sweat oozed from his forehead.

Emperor Chengfa turned his gaze away indifferently and resumed talking to the old man. Lu Rankong turned his head to glance at Lan Yu, asked him in a low voice if he was hot, and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Lan Yu saw Cheng Fadi looking at her again. His gaze paused on the handkerchief on his forehead for two seconds, then he turned around and walked slowly towards the door.

Lan Yu whispered, "Your father saw us."

"I was planning to take you to see him anyway. So now you've seen him. This can be considered an advance notice." Lu Rankong replied nonchalantly.

Lu Rankong stuffed the handkerchief back into his pocket. Lan Yu suddenly felt that the color and shape were a little strange. She couldn't help but take a closer look at it, and then threw it into his arms fiercely.

"What handkerchief? Look for yourself what it is."

Lu Rankong lowered his head and looked at the tender yellow duck on the pink baby bib. He quickly crumpled it into a ball and squeezed it in his palm, explaining in a low voice: "I took the wrong one. The handkerchief is on the other side."

Lan Yu stood there without saying anything. Thinking of the look that Chengfadi had just given her bib, she felt a little desperate.
