Elder brother's garrison

Chapter 3691 Missing

The man who walked out of Miao Yan's ward was the shorter of the two men I saw this morning.

As the man brushed past Xiaobai, Xiaobai subconsciously frowned and raised her hand to cover her nose.

—The smell of smoke is so strong.

Xiao Bai covered his nose and stopped walking.

Xiao Bai stood at the edge of the corridor by the window, her gaze following the man as he walked further and further away until he disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

The smell of smoke lingered in the air and did not completely dissipate even after the man left.

Xiao Bai sighed, raised his hand and waved it forward, which made the air around him a little fresher.

As for why Xiaobai came to the hospital at night... it was mainly because of Miao Yan.

Although Xiaobai had already discussed the matter with Nanxing's mother this morning, and Nanxing's mother assured her that she would only allow Miao Yan's two relatives to be discharged from the hospital after learning about Xiaobai's thoughts, Xiaobai still felt that this was not safe enough.

Xiao Bai wasn't dissatisfied with Nan Xing's mother's reaction. After all, given Nan Xing's mother's position and Xiao Bai's inability to provide any evidence at the time, Nan Xing's mother's assurance to Xiao Bai was already the maximum level of trust she could offer within her authority.

However... Nanxing's mother also said that the patient's family has no intention of letting Miao Yan be discharged from the hospital for the time being. Given Miao Yan's condition, she can continue to stay in the ward. So, the day when Miao Yan is discharged from the hospital will probably be one or two months later. Xiao Bai obviously cannot stay in Shenzhen for that long. Although the work in Chapter Eight is not heavy, it still requires Xiao Bai to sit in the office for a long time. At most, Xiao Bai can only leave Chapter Eight for about a week.

Xiao Bai doesn't have time to waste with these people.

If there are indeed suspicious things about Miao Yan, then she must find out the truth about this matter as soon as possible.

The hospital corridors always seem the same, lit up 24 hours a day, even at night they are as bright as day. The corridor where Xiaobai is is quiet, with occasional footsteps that can be heard from nearby, but these footsteps quickly disappear into the silence... Although Miao Yan was once a critically ill patient, after Xiaobai dispelled the deep-sea aura, she was transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward. The patients here are not too seriously ill, so although the atmosphere in this corridor is quiet, it is at least not like the corridor of the intensive care unit, where you can hear the beeping of various instruments, the painful groans of patients and the sighs of their families from time to time.

Fortunately...

Xiao Bai walked to Miao Yan's ward and gently touched the door.

The lights were on in Miao Yan's hospital room. The door had no windows, so no one could see inside. Xiao Bai pressed her ear against the door and slightly activated her ship girl-level hearing to eavesdrop on what was happening inside.

To Xiaobai's surprise, Miao Yan's hospital room was quiet.

There were no footsteps, no voices, and not even the sound of breathing.

Ok?

There wasn't even a sound of breathing?

Xiaobai paused for a moment, then subconsciously reached out and pushed the door.

The door opened without any obstruction, just with a creak.

Xiao Bai stepped into the room. Miao Yan's ward light was on, and the room was clean and tidy. There was a lump about the size of a person on Miao Yan's bed.

Xiao Bai looked at the bulge on the hospital bed with a puzzled expression. In Xiao Bai's perception, the so-called bulge was not actually Miao Yan herself, because there was no sound of human breathing coming from inside. Even when Xiao Bai used the Admiral Network to explore the bulge, he did not touch any signs of life.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai looked around the room again.

The shorter man had just left, but the taller man, who should have stayed in the room, had also disappeared.

There wasn't even a trace of them left in the room. Xiaobai glanced at the trash can, but there wasn't a single piece of trash inside.

Xiao Bai stepped forward, came to Miao Yan's hospital bed, and pulled back the blanket covering the bed.

The mattress was pulled open with a whoosh.

What appeared in front of Xiaobai was a pillow that had been tied up.

Where is Miao Yan?

She wasn't always lying down...

Xiaobai stared blankly at the hospital bed for a moment, but the next second, she realized something and immediately turned around and ran out of the ward.

correct.

According to Nanxing's mother, Miao Yan's family does not seem to have any intention of taking Miao Yan out of the hospital in the short term. Furthermore, according to Nanxing's mother, when they were hospitalized, only the two family members provided their respective identification documents.

According to the hospital's procedures, Miao Yan, who does not have identification, should undergo an identity verification upon discharge. Only after confirming the blood relationship between Miao Yan and the two family members will the hospital proceed with Miao Yan's discharge procedures as usual. Nanxing's mother previously promised Xiaobai that she would personally step in at this stage to prevent Miao Yan's family from having any chance to take advantage of the situation or deceive them.

so……

Both Xiaobai and Nanxing's mother fell into a cognitive bias at the time.

That is, if Miao Yan's two family members really have any special status... then why would they follow the hospital rules and obediently go through the discharge procedures before leaving the hospital?

Correct.

This is true.

Miao Yan was taken away.

Miao Yan was probably taken away by the tall man. Even after they left, the ward where Miao Yan was was cleaned up, leaving no traceable evidence.

The moment Xiaobai ran out of the ward, she chased after the direction the short man had gone.

To prevent causing a riot, Xiaobai did not use physical speed beyond human capabilities, but even the running speed of an ordinary human girl was sufficient with the help of unlimited stamina.

Xiao Bai flew down the nursing floor, passing several nurses at lightning speed. The nurses were so startled that they shouted at Xiao Bai, "Running is prohibited in the hospital!" But before they could stop Xiao Bai, it had already disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye, leaving several nurses stunned in place.

Finally, Xiaobai ran all the way to the hospital's lobby on the first floor.

Here, Xiaobai finally found the shorter man who had just brushed past her.

The moment Xiaobai saw the short man, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately... the person didn't run too far.

The short man was standing in front of the vending machine in the hospital lobby, his hands in his pockets, squinting at the items inside.

Several nurses passing by noticed the short man staring intently at the vending machine. They stopped and approached him gently, asking kindly, "Hello, we've seen you looking around for a while. Is there anything you need?"

The short man looked away, not at the nurse beside him, but still staring at the items inside the vending machine.

"You don't sell cigarettes here?" the short man said. "I just went to your convenience store and didn't find any."

"Ah..." The nurses paused for a moment, then said, "We're very sorry, family member, but this hospital is a special public place, so we don't sell cigarettes here... and smoking is not allowed in our hospital. If you really need to smoke, you can go to the smoking room on the third floor..."

Boom! ! !

The short man answered the nurses' questions with a light kick to the vending machine.

The nurses were startled by the sudden kick and took two steps back, stopping what they were saying. They looked at the short man with some surprise.

The short man completely ignored the nurses' reactions. With his hands in his pockets, he turned and left, muttering to himself, "What a lousy hospital! They even dawdle over buying a pack of cigarettes. I'm speechless..."

Under the stunned gazes of the nurses, the short man left through the hospital gate.

"This, this person, is he alright...?" The nurses looked at each other, a hint of nervousness in their eyes.

"He's so fierce..." the nurse who had just spoken said, sounding aggrieved. "I've already told him smoking isn't allowed in the hospital, why is he still so angry..."

"..."

A white figure flashed past behind the nurses.

When Xiaobai saw the short man leave the lobby, she immediately chased after him and followed him to the square outside the hospital.

Outside the hospital, many people were still holding up plaques that read "Peerless Healer" and exercising with abandon. Xiao Bai watched from afar as the short man stood near the crowd, hands in his pockets, glanced at the people holding the plaques, and then turned and continued walking towards the dark park path.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Xiao Bai clearly sensed that the short man moved much faster after leaving the hospital than he had inside.

Little White followed the short man as he jogged into the dark park path.

It was night in Shenzhen. The sky was clear and the stars were few. The park was almost deserted. Apart from the rustling of leaves in the breeze, the only sound was the footsteps of the short man.

Xiao Bai was light and nimble, moving silently through the night. She followed the short man closely, watching him travel along the forest path until they arrived at a deserted park square.

After arriving at the park square, the short man sat down on a deck chair with his hands in his pockets. Then, he exhaled and pulled a telephone out of his clothes.

Drop drop drop.

The dial tone sounded, and the short man dialed a series of numbers, stamping his feet as he waited for the other end to answer.

A few seconds later, the call seemed to be connected.

The short man immediately sat up straight and spoke into the phone, "Brother! I'm all done here! The room is all cleaned up as you instructed!"

"..."

"Yes, yes, I didn't cause any trouble. Don't worry, I ran out without even smoking a cigarette, and no one was watching me. Hehe... I understand, I understand."

"..."

"Hey yeah, yeah! Guess what I found while I was cleaning the room? That damn brat, she almost tricked me, look what I did..."

As the short man spoke, he pulled his clenched fist from his other pocket and opened his palm.

In the short man's hand was a small piece of white cloth.

Chapter 3692 Once Again, Descending from the Sky

The short man looked at the piece of cloth in his hand, and for a moment he seemed to be furious. He gritted his teeth and spoke in a vicious tone.

"That little brat is a real pain in the ass! We're going to kill her when we get back! She just keeps causing trouble every single day..."

"..."

"Oh right, this is what she left behind..."

As the short man was speaking, he suddenly saw a white figure above his eyes.

The short man instinctively covered his phone, looked up and saw a petite, white-haired girl emerging from the forest, leaning against a tree in the direction he had just come from.

The white-haired girl stared intently at him with her dark golden eyes.

"...Brother, I have a little problem, I'll tell you later."

The short man's eyes instantly turned cold. He covered the phone and said something to the other end before hanging up and stuffing the phone into his clothes.

The short man stood up from the recliner with his hands in his pockets, staring coldly at the white-haired girl who had suddenly appeared. He then tilted his head to look behind the girl, and when he saw that there was only darkness behind her and no one else, his expression softened slightly.

"I remember you...you're that little girl from this morning." The short man said coldly, first scrutinizing the white-haired girl with a hint of amusement in his eyes, then speaking to her, "Didn't your mother teach you about the consequences of running around at night?"

“…Hand.” Xiaobai walked out of the woods, stared at the short man, and reached out her hand to him.

"...What hand?" The short man frowned.

"Give me...give me what you're holding." Xiaobai stared intently at the man, still holding out her hand, and leaned closer, speaking softly, "Who were you talking to just now? Was it that tall man who was with you? What did you find in Miao Yan's hospital room? Where are you taking Miao Yan? If I hadn't come out, what were you planning to tell that tall man over there? What will happen to Miao Yan because of your betrayal?"

As Xiaobai spoke, each question made the short man's face turn ugly.

After Xiaobai finished asking the question, the short man's face turned extremely ugly. He stared at Xiaobai, who was getting closer and closer, his eyes filled with a sinister look.

"...Alright, alright, you little brats, you're all such a handful." The short man muttered, then scratched his head and sighed, "You're not that old, but you seem to enjoy playing detective games. Little girl, you followed your uncle here all by yourself, now it's not like your uncle won't let you off the hook..."

Finished.

The short man suddenly straightened his legs and charged towards Xiaobai.

Although the short man was short, he seemed to have a lot of explosive power. In the blink of an eye, he had rushed in front of Xiaobai and stretched out his rough hand, which was big enough to grab Xiaobai's face like a basketball, and covered Xiaobai's face.

Xiao Bai remained unmoved.

Xiao Bai even watched quietly as the man's palm approached her, the large, calloused hand preparing to land on her face.

Boom! ! !

However, before the large hand could grab Xiaobai's face, and before Xiaobai could react, two figures resembling giant eagles descended from the sky once again, landing on the short man with a thud.

The short man's eyes widened instantly, and with a groan, he collapsed to the ground, unable to withstand the massive impact from above.

wow-

A strong gust of wind blew in all directions.

Xiao Bai's white hair fluttered in the wind.

Xiao Bai stared speechlessly at the two figures that appeared before him, and the short man who was being trampled under their feet.

"...Although I expected this scene...but the way you made your entrance...was it pre-arranged?"

Xiao Bai spoke.

Under the starry night, a parasol sways gently.

"Oh, Admiral, what a coincidence!" The two ship girls stood under the parasol, and Illinois, one of them, greeted Xiaobai with a carefree and kind smile.

As Illinois greeted him, 1913 beside her gently folded his parasol and lightly jumped from the short man's body onto the ground beside him.

"Admiral, are you well?" 1913 smiled calmly at Xiaobai.
