After waving goodbye to Guo Zheng, Xia Wan did not head straight home as usual.
At this moment, the sunset glow on the horizon had not yet completely faded, and the entire city was enveloped in a faint afterglow.
However, Xia Wan's mind was not on the beautiful scenery at all, because his mind was still preoccupied with the matter of Assistant Sun.
After some thought, Xia Wan resolutely turned around and walked back to the hospital with firm steps.
The moment he stepped into the hospital, a strong smell of disinfectant hit him, as if this pungent odor wanted to cover up all the secrets and conspiracies hidden within the hospital.
Xia Wan tiptoed to Guo Zhen's ward door, only to find it tightly closed, with occasional medical staff in white coats hurrying past.
She carefully hid around the corner, her eyes fixed on the seemingly ordinary yet mysterious door like those of a hawk.
With her keen intuition, Xia Wan knew that Assistant Sun should still be in the ward at this moment.
Perhaps she had already noticed Guo Zhen collapsing on the ground and promptly called for a doctor to come and treat him. Thinking of this, Xia Wan couldn't help but frown, secretly wondering what kind of mystery was hidden in this situation.
Time ticked by, and people continued to come and go in front of Guo Zhen's ward, with doctors and nurses constantly entering and exiting. Xia Wan, on the other hand, was like a patient hunter, quietly lurking in a corner, waiting for the perfect opportunity.
Just as Xia Wan was about to lose her patience, suddenly, Assistant Sun appeared at the end of the corridor.
She was clutching a document tightly in her hand, looking extremely rushed. Seeing this, Xia Wan quickly took a deep breath, composed herself, and then quietly followed behind Assistant Sun.
The two walked out of the hospital slowly, one in front of the other and keeping a certain distance between them.
Not far from the hospital, Assistant Sun turned into a secluded alley. The alley was lined with old, somewhat dilapidated houses.
Xia Wan dared not let her guard down and continued to follow cautiously until they finally stopped behind a dilapidated house...
She wondered with suspicion why this person would come to such a desolate place. Just then, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing past on the other side of the house.
Immediately afterward, a rude voice rang out: "Why are you so late? I've been waiting here for ages!" The speaker looked closely and saw that it was Assistant Sun. His face instantly filled with impatience.
Seeing this, Assistant Sun quickly bowed and apologized repeatedly: "I'm so sorry, Brother Wang, for keeping you waiting! Our leader suddenly fell into a coma for some reason, and it took me a lot of effort just to find this document! Take a look, is this the one?"
After saying that, he carefully handed the object he was holding tightly to the other person.
The man called Brother Wang snatched the file bag, quickly pulled out a few sheets of paper, glanced at them briefly, and his face instantly turned gloomy: "How come there's only this much? This is far from enough to bring that guy surnamed Li down!"
Assistant Sun looked troubled and conflicted. After hesitating for a long time, he finally stammered, "Brother Wang, to be honest, that guy surnamed Li is always very cautious. It's really not easy to find any clues! In addition, our leader has recently encountered some unexpected situations and is now hospitalized, so it's probably difficult to make any new progress!"
Xia Wan cautiously curled up in the dim corner, listening intently to the conversation of the people not far away.
However, as the conversation continued, her doubts deepened. Who exactly was this man surnamed Li? What were they investigating? And who was this person they claimed they wanted to bring down?
Just then, Xia Wan noticed that the man called Brother Wang had a clear look of impatience on his face and was turning around to leave.
Given the urgency of the situation, if these people were allowed to leave, the truth might never be known.
Without a second thought, Xia Wan leaped into the air and unleashed a fierce flying kick, heading straight for Assistant Sun.
However, before making her move, Xia Wan carefully covered her face with a black cloth to avoid being recognized.
The sudden attack caught Assistant Sun completely off guard. With a muffled thud, he staggered back a few steps as if struck by a heavy blow, and finally fell heavily to the ground.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xia Wan quickly stepped forward and, with lightning speed, struck Assistant Sun hard on the back of the neck. Assistant Sun let out a muffled groan, then everything went black as he completely lost consciousness.
Immediately afterward, Xia Wan turned her attention to another person without hesitation. Before that person could recover from the sudden turn of events, Xia Wan had already pounced on him like a ghost.
Before he could react, Xia Wan nimbly leaped up and sat firmly on his back. At the same time, her fists rained down like a storm, each punch containing immense power.
"Speak! Who exactly are you people? Why are you trying to harm Deputy Factory Director Guo?" Xia Wan deliberately lowered her voice and shouted angrily. At this moment, she looked every bit the part of someone who was going to seek justice for Guo Zhen and stand up for him.
Faced with Xia Wan's ferocity, Brother Wang was already pale with fright, his eyes wide with terror. He tried to resist in vain, stammering, "Miss...you've really misunderstood. We never intended to harm Deputy Factory Director Guo!"
He was pinned to the ground and couldn't move, so he could only try to calm down the person in front of him who was about to attack. Clearly, this Brother Wang thought Xia Wan was one of Guo Zhen's accomplices!
Xia Wan frowned, but her grip tightened: "Stop trying to deny it. What did you mean by what you just said?"
Brother Wang sighed and said helplessly, "Actually, we are investigating Director Li of the factory. He has been arranging for people to falsify accounts. Deputy Director Guo is an upright person and has long noticed some clues, so we want to get more evidence from him."
Xia Wan was skeptical: "Really?" She didn't believe such nonsense, but she still wanted to go and see!
Just then, footsteps sounded in the distance, and Brother Wang panicked: "Girl, someone's coming! Let me go! If others find out about this, we're all doomed."
Xia Wan hesitated for a moment, then let go of her hand. A smile flashed in her lowered eyes, but no one noticed at the moment.
Brother Wang got up, straightened his clothes, glanced at the unconscious Assistant Sun, and said, "I hope the young lady won't spread what she heard today. If possible, please help us out, after all, we are doing a good deed."
After saying that, he hurriedly ran away. Xia Wan stood there, watching his departing figure, her heart filled with doubt.
Did these two people think she was a fool?
