Dongzi went to pay the bill, and Mumu stood alone at the door of the operating room.
After more than half an hour, the door finally opened, and Aunt Zhou was pushed out by the doctors and nurses.
âDoctor,â Mumu went straight to the attending doctor, âis my granny okay?â
âDonât worry, she is fine,â the attending doctor squatted down and told Mumu, âwe have dressed her wound and it will heal. However, she still needs some rest, so she wonât wake up for the time being. Can you wait patiently for a while?â
âSure!â Mumu nodded and looked at the doctor expectantly, âuncle, how long will I wait?â
The doctor looked at the time and stretched out four fingers, saying, âFour hours at most.â
Mumu counted with his fingers. Four hours was as long as four sixty minutes, which didnât seem to be a long time.
The little fellow finally had a smile on his face. âThank you, doctor!â
âGood boy, youâre welcome,â the doctor said, âthe nurse is going to send your granny to the ward to rest. You could go with her.â
Dongzi just paid the money and came back. He followed them into the ward.
He checked Aunt Zhouâs condition and said to Mumu, âWait here for a moment. Iâll call your daddy.â
Mumu paid all his attention to Aunt Zhou and replied âOkayâ perfunctorily. In fact, he didnât care where Dongzi was going at all. He kept his eyes on Aunt Zhou.
There were two nurses in the ward. Both of them were young girls. They chatted with each other when they settled Aunt Zhou.
One of them gave Aunt Zhou the intravenous drip and then suddenly said, âNana, do you remember Xiao Yunyun, the intern at the cardiac surgery department? I havenât heard about her recently.â
âHow could I not remember her? The red packet event was so sensational back then. But it seems that the cardiac surgery department hasnât gotten any of her information either. Doesnât she want to be a doctor anymore?â
âNo way! Dr. Liang from that department said Xiao Yunyun was very talented. If...â
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mumu.
Mumu ran to the nurses and looked up at them, asking, âMiss, do you know Sister Yunyun?â
âWow, what a lovely child,â one nurse pinched Mumuâs cheek, âare you talking about Dr. Xiao Yunyun?â
âI donât know what Sister Yunyunâs surname is,â Mumu tilted his head, âbut her boyfriend is Uncle Yuechuan.â
Hearing Shen Yuechuanâs name, the nurse was instantly sure that Mumu referred to Xiao Yunyun. She nodded and said, âWe should be talking about the same person. What a coincidence. Do you know Dr. Xiao too?â
âYes, I know Sister Yunyun,â Mumuâs eyes lit up, and he grabbed the nurseâs clothes and begged, âMiss, can you help me call Sister Yunyun?â
The nurse was not familiar with Xiao Yunyun. Mumuâs request was so sudden that she couldnât react for a moment.
Mumu was so anxious that his forehead was about to sweat.
As long as he contacted Sister Yunyun, he could ask her to tell Uncle Mu that Granny Zhou was in this hospital.
As long as Uncle Mu knew that Granny Zhou was here, he would definitely take her home.
In this way, Mumu didnât have to worry that no one would take care of Granny Zhou.
The problem was whether he could convince the nurse to call Sister Yunyun before Dongzi came back after calling his father.
Once Dongzi came back, he would definitely stop the nurse from making the phone call.
âMiss,â Mumuâs eyes were red, âplease, help me call Sister Yunyun, okay?â
Before the nurse could make a sound, Dongziâs voice came closer and closer.
âBrother Cheng, I see. Iâll take Mumu back right away.â
âMiss, Iâm leaving. My daddy wonât let me come back to see Granny Zhou again. Please, help me tell Sister Yunyun that Granny Zhou is in your hospital.â Mumu said in a very anxious tone and his eyes were filled with tears.
The nurseâs heart softened. She nodded and said, âOkay, Iâll call Dr. Xiao.â
Mumu wiped away his tears and said, âThank you, Miss.â
At this time, Dongzi came in and said, âMumu, weâre going back.â
Mumu looked at Aunt Zhou worriedly and asked, âWhat about Granny Zhou?â
âIâve already handled the admission procedures for her. The doctors and nurses will take care of her,â Dongziâs tone became serious, âMumu, donât waste time anymore. Come with me.â
Mumu ran back and grabbed Aunt Zhouâs hand, saying, âGranny Zhou, Iâm going back. Please wake up when you have a good rest.â
Uncle Mu would take you home.
This was what Mumu actually wanted to say, but he didnât say it out loud and only repeated it in his mind.
âMumu,â Dongzi was impatient and kept urging him.
Mumu put Aunt Zhouâs hand back in the quilt and followed Dongzi. He turned to look back repeatedly at every step.
Dongzi didnât tell Mumu that Kang Ruicheng asked him to take Mumu away as soon as possible for a reason.
Kang Ruicheng told him on the phone that Mu Sijueâs subordinates might have already found that Aunt Zhou was in the hospital.
If he didnât take Mumu back immediately, once Mu Sijueâs subordinates arrived, he and Mumu would not be able to go back.
Kang Ruicheng was right. Ah Guang and Dui Fang did find out that Aunt Zhou was sent to the hospital.
Yesterday, after returning from the police station, Mu Sijue specially told Ah Guang to keep a close watch on the movements of Kang Ruicheng and the subordinates around him.
Ah Guang had messed up the plan of getting Aunt Zhou back. This time, he would make every effort to complete what Mu Sijue had asked him to do.
He did gain something.
Early in the morning, Ah Guang found that Dongzi, a subordinate that Kang Ruicheng trusted most, left the old house of the Kang family.
He sent someone to follow him and found Dongzi went to the hospital where Xiao Yunyun used to work as an intern and went through the admission procedures for a person.
That person was none other than Aunt Zhou.
âF**k!â Ah Guang couldnât help swearing, âwhat did Kang Ruicheng do to Aunt Zhou?â
Ah Guang contacted Mu Sijue as soon as possible.
This morning, Mu Sijue and Lu Boyan had already returned to the top of the mountain.
When Ah Guang called, Mu Sijue just woke up.
Mu Sijue didnât rest well last night. It was not only because he had been worried about Aunt Zhou, but also because he had had a feeling that something would happen.
Xu Youning was also worried about the two old ladies. She couldnât sleep well, either. When Mu Sijue got up, she got up, too.
Noticing Xu Youningâs action, Mu Sijue glanced at her and asked, âWhy are you up so early?â
Xu Youning stared at Mu Sijueâs knitted brows, asking, âWhatâs wrong with you?â
âIâm fine,â Mu Sijue rubbed his eyebrows and answered, âyou can sleep a little longer.â
âYou canât fall asleep, neither can I,â Xu Youning lifted the quilt and asked, âhowâs it going with Aunt Zhou and Auntie Tang?â
Just as Mu Sijue was about to answer, his cell phone rang, and Ah Guangâs name was displayed on the screen.
He answered the phone at once.
Ah Guang didnât even have time to say hello. He directly described what had happened in the fastest speed and the simplest words.
âSeventh Brother, we followed one of Kang Ruichengâs subordinates and found he sent Aunt Zhou to the hospital. He also handled the hospitalization procedures for Aunt Zhou. I double that something has happened to Aunt Zhou.â
Mu Sijue suddenly stood up and asked, âWhich hospital?â
âThe hospital where Miss Xiao used to work as an intern,â Ah Guang said, âitâs called the Eighth Peopleâs Hospital.â
âIâll go there right now,â Mu Sijue quickly put on his coat, âfind out why Aunt Zhou is in the hospital. And send someone to take command of the hospital and Aunt Zhouâs ward immediately!â
âThe people nearby have been dispatched there. Iâll arrive in ten minutes,â Ah Guang said word by word in a firm tone, âSeventh Brother, donât worry. This time, I wonât let Aunt Zhou fall into Kang Ruichengâs hands again.â
Mu Sijue hung up the phone and took out an improved AK-47 assault rifle from under the pillow. He clipped it to his belt and hid it with his black coat.
Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue and asked, âIs there any news about Aunt Zhou? Where are you going?â
âAunt Zhou is in the hospital,â Mu Sijue said, âIâll pick her up.â
âWhy is she in the hospital?â Xu Youning got out of bed and asked, âwhat did Kang Ruicheng do to Aunt Zhou?â
âIâm not sure. Ah Guang is still investigating,â Mu Sijue motioned for Xu Youning to calm down, âwait here. I will contact you when I get definite information.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Sijue turned around and left the room quickly, leaving Xu Youning no chance to say one more word.
So she had to walk to the window of the room and push it open. In less than half a minute, she saw Mu Sijue striding out.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMu Sijue!â Xu Youning suddenly shouted.
Mu Sijue stopped and looked back at Xu Youning who was on the second floor.
âBe careful,â Xu Youning said, âKang Ruicheng may have set a trap for you.â
Mu Sijueâs knitted brows slowly eased, and his voice became much softer. âI will,â he responded.
The subordinate had already driven the car to the door and called Mu Sijue from afar, âSeventh Brother.â
Xu Youning didnât want to waste any time, so she said, âGo.â
Mu Sijue didnât say anything. He went out and got in the car.
The car had an outstanding performance. In the blink of an eye, it went out of Xu Youningâs sight. After going down the mountain, it headed for the hospital where Xiao Yunyun had worked as an intern.
At that time, Xiao Yunyun who was working at a private hospital received a call from the Eighth Peopleâs Hospital.
It was a girl who claimed to be a nurse at the hospital and she asked if Xiao Yunyun knew a woman whose surname was Zhou.
âGranny Zhou?â Mumuâs voice immediately jumped out of Xiao Yunyunâs mind. Thinking of something, she said, âIâm not sure who youâre talking about. Can you send me a photo?â
The nurse quickly sent the photo. Xiao Yunyun recognized Aunt Zhou at a glance.
Aunt Zhou was in the Eighth Peopleâs Hospital, and the nurse managed to contact her.
Xiao Yunyun was in a panic. Fortunately, Shen Yuechuan was there. She ran to tell him about it.
Shen Yuechuan reacted quickly. He directly dialed Lu Boyanâs number and told him what had happened to Aunt Zhou in the Eighth Peopleâs Hospital. He also reminded Lu Boyan, âIs this a trap that Kang Ruicheng set for us?â
âProbably not,â Lu Boyan said, âa few minutes ago, Ah Guang found Aunt Zhou was indeed sent to the hospital, and Sijue has already rushed there.â
Shen Yuechuan paused and then asked, âDo you need me to go there? I should be faster than Mu Qi.â
