Ning Zhiyuan instantly became extremely alert, and Sang Feiyu's heart also jumped. Who was trying to break into her door in the middle of the night?
Ning Zhiyuan tiptoed to the back of the door, and heard a "click" as the door was opened from the outside. A person pushed the door open, first sticking out a neck, and the next second a large hand locked his neck!
"ah!"
Ning Zhiyuan didn't even turn on the light; he simply slammed the other person's head into the door!
Just by listening to his screams, you could feel the pain he was in.
The patients and nurses on duty on the same floor were all awakened, and all the lights in the corridor turned on instantly. "What happened?"
An anxious voice came from outside.
Ning Zhiyuan then turned on the room light, and an unfamiliar face came into view. His gaze was scrutinizing. "Who are you?"
The man looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with dark skin and a deeply lined face. His cunning, round eyes made him look even more like a weasel.
Sang Feiyu's eyes lit up. "Aren't you the family member from that other patient's ward?"
The man gave an embarrassed smile. "Sorry, I've got the wrong room."
He tried to pull his neck back, but to no avail, and could only remain in this strange position.
Ning Zhiyuan searched for a while and found a wire on the ground outside the corridor. It seemed that this was the other party's tool for committing the crime.
"If you got up in the middle of the night to pee, then the door to your room was definitely unlocked. What did you mean by using a wire to open the door?"
Faced with the questioning, the other party was extremely flustered.
"I also found it strange that the door was suddenly locked, so I tried to open it with a wire. It's impossible to knock on the door so late at night and wake everyone up, right?"
Ning Zhiyuan retorted, "Where did you get the wire so late at night?"
"You can find the wire, can't you see this isn't your family's ward?"
The man's expression was stiff as he racked his brains. "I just picked up that wire during the day. I was planning to use it to make a keychain, but I didn't expect to have to use it so soon."
Ning Zhiyuan tightened his grip on the man's neck. "Tell the truth. If you lie again, you'll regret it!"
The man shrank back like a turtle, saying, "I really have the wrong place in mind."
How could he possibly admit that he wanted to break in and steal things late at night?
Ever since he discovered during the day that the capitalist's daughter lived across the street, he couldn't sleep all night, constantly looking for an opportunity to sneak in and plunder.
His wife is sick, so his son brought them here from their hometown. Now his son's savings and allowances are almost all gone. His son isn't even married yet. Shouldn't he think about his son's future?
He figured that as long as he had money, he wouldn't have to worry about his son not finding a partner. He thought that capitalist heiresses could easily carry some valuables with them, and as long as he could find one treasure, his son would never have to worry about finding a partner. Little did he expect that he would be caught red-handed before he even stepped inside. It was a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.
The on-duty nurse rushed over upon hearing the news, but before she could speak, she heard Ning Zhiyuan say, "Go call security. This guy is trying to break into the house in the middle of the night; he's up to no good!"
The nurse on duty had no choice but to turn around and find security. At this point, someone recognized the man as someone from their ward.
"Isn't this Old Man Li from Xiuqing?"
"How could he break into the house across the street so late at night?"
"The rooms across the hall are single rooms, where people with connections live. I guess he's trying to break in and steal something?"
“I overheard the old couple saying last time that they were a burden to their son, especially Xiuqing. She said she was in poor health and had already spent a lot of money back home, and had even spent all the money her son had saved for his future wedding. Now her son has taken her to the military hospital for treatment, and has even spent all of his savings and allowance. They have it tough, really.”
"Their hardships are no excuse for trying to break into other people's homes," someone said, offering a fair perspective.
