章 17: Find Her
It was still raining heavily outside. Perhaps it was because of the weather... Qi Ming Wei found that his mood was gloomy as well. Especially now that he had arrived at the hospital.
The elevator door slid open and a few soldiers greeted him at the door.
Qi Ming Wei glanced at the men in uniform before his gaze finally stopped at the tall man with slightly tanned skin.
Wang Yi shivered the moment his gaze met with the young commanders. He wanted to look away and avoided the Commander's gaze. However, he did not have such courage.
"What happened?" Qi Ming Wei finally spoke. "Wang Yi, Tell me... How can she escape?"
"Commander Qi, the woman said she was going to the restroom." Since the Commander had spoken his name, Wang Yi had no other choice but to speak. "We found that it took her too long and send out the nurse to check on her. When the nurse entered the bathroom, the woman was no longer around. We suspected that she slipped through the small bathroom window."
Qi Ming Wei walked into the wardroom where Yang Ran was supposed to stay. He entered the restroom and saw that the grill was set on the floor.
Then, he climbed up the toilet seat and peeked outside the window.
They were on the third floor.
Usually, one would not dare to jump down from such a height. If one falls, one would definitely break a few bones or perhaps, died.
However, as he looked closely, Qi Ming Wei noticed that there was some gap that would allow a person to step on it.
His eyes narrowed.
He could not help recalling that he had asked Ji Cheng to investigate Miss Yang's life in F Country. However, his men could not find out anything about Yang Ran.
Initially, Qi Ming Wei did not put too much thought into this matter. After all, he was busy investigating the death of several men in his detention.
Somehow, someone had disclosed the men's death to the public, and now, the public was outraged, thinking that the authorities had murdered prisoners before the investigation concluded.
These days, his higher-ups were pressing him on this matter, wanting him to come up with a way to calm down the public. Because of this, he was too busy and had forgotten all about the woman.
It was until a few hours ago that he recalled Yang Ran. Unfortunately, his subordinate reported that the woman had escaped.
But... If Yang Ran indeed escaped the way he thought she would have, then, her identity would not be that simple. For one to step into such a gap, one would have to have some skills, agility, and confidence.
He suddenly wondered just what kind of woman he had kept in this hospital.
Why can't his subordinate find out anything about her?
Qi Ming Wei finally climbed down from the toilet seat and turned to his men again.
The moment Wang Yi caught the faint smile on the commander's face, his body started to shiver. Somehow, he could not help but think that the person in front of him had become scarier.
"Check on all surveillance cameras around the hospital and nearby area," Qi Ming Wei said. "I want you to find her and tell me where she has gone to. Go. Now."
"Yes, sir!" Wang Yi quickly turned around, finding an excuse to get away from the young commander.
...
Meanwhile, the moment Yang Ran escaped, she first walked over to the nearest residential area.
Although the rain was still pouring heavily, Yang Ran was grateful. Because of the weather, no one seemed to pay much attention to her. Even if she was dressed in her hospital gown, no one seemed to notice a thing.
At this time, the passersby were too busy running to get to a safer and dryer place.
Yang Ran scanned the area, hoping to see a house with some clothes hanging outside. However, no matter how long she walked, she could not find any.
She was beginning to consider breaking into someone's house for a new fresh of clothes when her eyes caught the sight of a large, green box up ahead.
Yang Ran jogged ahead and smiled upon seeing the recycle box.
She unlocked the door and finally took out several clothes that might fit her. Once he found what she needed, Yang Ran ran over to the nearest public restroom to get change.
Half an hour later, Yang Ran came out with short denim, a grey t-shirt, and an olive green jacket over her body.
A while ago, she looked like a sad and pathetic woman. But now, she looked rather stylish.
Unfortunately, she was without any set of makeup. Otherwise, she could transform her face into something else.
As she stood in front of the restroom, Yang Ran raised her head to look at the sky. Fortunately, the rain was no longer as heavy. Moving around on the street would not be too difficult.
Yang Ran knew that she had to be careful. It would be one thing if the handsome commander caught her again. However, what she was worried about was that her enemy would catch her again and kill her.
In the past few days, Yang Ran had tried to think of her last exchange with Aiden while she was recuperating at the hospital.
Those people seemed to be looking for her because they had suspected that her late father had given her something before he left.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she thought about it, Yang Ran could not remember receiving anything from her father.
A map.
Just what kind of map would be so important for that person to kill everyone in the organization?
But these were not something that she could ponder upon at the moment.
The most important thing was that she needed to find a way to get herself to a safer place and perhaps retrieved some of her belongings.
Only then that she could make a trip back to F Country and figure out what was going on.
