In the car, Wei Qiao called, and Rong Mo answered, "Speak."
Wei Qiao's tone on the other end of the phone was serious, even tinged with nervousness. "President Rong, the bodyguards have taken Gu Qingyan to have her blood drawn, and the test results will be out soon. I reviewed the surveillance footage, and it seems that Yan Yan injected Gu Qingyan with some kind of liquid. I sent people to guard Miss Yan Yan's door, but they haven't gone in. Should we go in now and take her into custody?"
Rong Mo frowned. His eyes sharpened, and his face darkened. "When will the test results be available?" His voice was icy, devoid of any warmth.
"I estimate within an hour," Wei Qiao replied. His heart was also racing. He knew the seriousness of the matter. If Yan Yan had really injected Gu Qingyan with some harmful substance, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Then wait for me to come. Don't alert her and cause a scene. Remember, before I arrive, you personally guard the door and make sure she doesn't come out." Rong Mo calmly replied. His fingers gripped his phone tightly, as if he wanted to crush it. His eyes were filled with worry and anger; he didn't know what Yan Yan was trying to achieve.
"Yes, Mr. Rong." Wei Qiao accepted the order, hung up the phone, and quickly walked to the door of Yan Yan's ward to stand guard.
"She didn't come out, did she?" Wei Qiao asked the bodyguard standing at the door.
"No," the bodyguard replied seriously. "Brother Wei, we will definitely follow your orders."
Wei Qiao nodded, feeling slightly relieved. He knew that as long as they guarded the door, Yan Yan wouldn't be able to escape. He only hoped that Rong Mo could arrive as soon as possible, then all the problems could be solved.
“Hmm,” Wei Qiao also stood at the door, waiting for Rong Mo to come over. His heart was pounding, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. He didn’t know why he was so nervous, but he had a feeling that something was wrong.
"Have all the entrances and exits on this floor sealed off. Don't let anyone in or out," Rong Mo ordered the bodyguards guarding the elevator door as he stepped out. His voice was deep and powerful, carrying an unquestionable tone.
Upon hearing this, the bodyguards immediately sprang into action, quickly sealing off all the entrances and exits of the entire floor.
Rong Mo and Lu Jia strode towards the ward. From afar, Wei Qiao spotted Rong Mo and quickly approached him, whispering, "Mr. Rong, would you like to go in now?"
Rong Mo's expression was not good. He looked around and then gestured for Wei Qiao to come closer. He lowered his voice and said something to him. Wei Qiao's eyes widened; he simply couldn't believe what he was hearing. He wanted to cry out, but suddenly realized something and immediately covered his mouth, swallowing his question, though his face still showed a completely incredulous expression.
Rong Mo's gaze sharpened as he looked at Wei Qiao, as if awaiting his answer. Wei Qiao nodded, then silently followed behind Rong Mo, gently knocking on the door, but there was no response.
Rong Mo knocked on the ward door again, but still no one answered.
Rong Mo felt a pang of panic and immediately turned the doorknob, but it was locked from the inside.
"Wait a minute, I just took a shower. I'll open the door after I change my clothes." Yan Yan's delicate voice suddenly came from the ward. Rong Mo pursed his lips, immediately withdrew his hand, and glanced awkwardly at Lu Jia beside him.
"Let's wait a little longer then. Anyway, she can't escape from inside," Wei Qiao said in a low voice. "Besides, she won't suspect anything, since we haven't shown any unusual behavior in front of her."
"That's good." Rong Mo nodded, lowered his voice, and then walked to a bench by the corridor and sat down. Lu Jia also sat down.
Ten minutes later, Rong Mo couldn't sit still any longer, so he immediately stood up and walked towards the door of the ward.
"Knock, knock, knock." Rong Mo knocked on the door again. "Yan Yan, are you ready? I have something I want to tell you. May I come in?"
"Wait a minute, I just took a shower. I'll open the door after I change." The same reply came from inside again. Rong Mo's heart sank, and an unease welled up inside him. He glanced at Lu Jia, and the two exchanged a look, both sensing that something was amiss.
"Yan Yan, did something happen to you? You can tell me, and I'll help you," Rong Mo said.
"Wait a moment, I'll be right to open the door," Yan Yan's voice came from inside.
Rong Mo and Lu Jia exchanged a glance, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes. They decided to wait a little longer; if Yan Yan still wouldn't open the door, they would force their way in.
Five minutes later, Rong Mo knocked on the door again. "Yan Yan, could you please open the door? Let us come in and see you."
This time, there was no sound from inside. Rong Mo felt even more uneasy, and he began to knock on the door forcefully, "Yan Yan, are you in there? Answer me!"
"Wait a minute, I just took a shower. I'll open the door after I change my clothes."
Hearing the same words again, Rong Mo and Lu Jia sensed something was wrong. Without hesitation, they took a step back and burst open the door together.
The room was quiet when the door opened, with only the faint sounds of medical equipment. Rong Mo and Lu Jia exchanged a glance and quickly went in. Rong Mo called out, "Yan Yan, are you alright? I'm so sorry, we were really worried about you."
However, the next second, Rong Mo stopped in his tracks.
The ward was empty; there was no trace of Yan Yan. Only a pre-programmed tape recorder remained on the bed. Rong Mo tentatively called out, "Yan Yan, are you alright?" The tape recorder replied emotionlessly, "Wait a moment, I just took a shower. I'll come open the door after I change my clothes."
"Yan Yan?" Lu Jia called out tentatively.
"Wait a moment, I'll be right there to open the door," the tape recorder replied again.
It was obvious that Yan Yan had set up a recording device to buy time; she had already escaped. Rong Mo's face instantly darkened, his eyes filled with worry and anger.
"Damn it!" Rong Mo cursed under his breath, "Wei Qiao!"
"President Rong." Wei Qiao strode in and, seeing the empty ward, couldn't help but widen her eyes. "This is impossible! No one has left the ward!"
"We must find her as soon as possible!" Lu Jia said anxiously. "She's already suspicious, and I'm afraid she might do something rash!"
Rong Mo nodded, a determined glint in his eyes. "We will definitely find her!"
"But where did she run away from?" Wei Qiao said, walking quickly back and forth in the ward, observing.
