Upon leaving the ward, a sense of eager antic.i.p.ation and nervousness radiated from the small group of onlookers gathered at the entrance, fixated on Xia

Wan and her husband.

As the couple stepped into the room, the cacophony within swiftly hushed.

The spectators outside remained hesitant, grappling with the enigma shrouding the interior.

It wasnt until Xia Wan and Xia Hai reemerged from the room unscathed that a.s.surance washed over the bystanders, ensuring that the madman had not inflicted harm upon them.

Indeed, in a matter of days, Li Jin had left more than five casualties in his wake at the hospital.

Are you both alright? Yan Hans gaze bore a trace of worry as he hurried towards Xia Hai and Xia Wan to inspect potential injuries.

With a rea.s.suring smile, Xia Wan replied, Were fine! Dad, Mom, you should head back now. I need to discuss something with the director.

Yan Hans concern for Xia Wan still lingered, but Xia Hais nod to Yan Han conveyed his trust in their daughter.

Ill stay here with Wanwan. Dont worry.

Knowing that her objections would fall on deaf ears, Xia Wan yielded to Xia Chens resolve.

As Xia Hai and Yan Han departed with Xia Feng, Xia Wan, addressing the doctor, declared, I wish to see your director.

The doctor, stammering, hesitated, clearly concealing something.

Xia Wan, in response, offered a derisive snort, and said, Then summon someone who can address this matter.

Dismayed by Xia Wans abruptness, the doctor was on the verge of reprimanding her and reminding her of her place. However, in the next instant, Xia Wans words startled him, Unless you want the authorities to seal this place and invite the police in right now, I suggest you avoid further exposure of your concealed activities.

Taken aback, the doctor weighed his options. Regardless of what suspicions this young woman had unearthed, the prospect of outsiders discovering their hidden secrets was unsettling.

Xia Wan, sensing his hesitation, added, I dont wish to cause you any trouble.

Just fetch someone capable, and Ill communicate directly with them.

She continued, Also, as for the gatekeeper, it would be prudent to transfer him to the hospital once he regains consciousness. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee his well-being during the next bout of illness.

Having said her piece, Xia Wan took a seat nearby, falling silent.

Xia Chen, too, leaned against a wall with arms folded, awaiting further developments.

The doctor, torn between a rock and a hard place, ground his teeth and relented, Very well! I shall locate the person in charge. Wait here. Do not wander.

Xia Wan nonchalantly gestured for him to proceed.

Once the doctor had departed, Xia Chen inquired, What is your plan?

Approaching Xia Chen, Xia Wan lowered her voice, I believe something is amiss within this hospital.

A matter that strikes you as odd? Xia Chen raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

The level of professionalism among the doctors is questionable, even unable to identify basic medications. Isnt that peculiar?

Moreover, how can a mental inst.i.tution employ an individual with epilepsy as a gatekeeper? This, I suspect, provides an opportunity for patients seeking to escape.

As Xia Chen contemplated the incidents that had unfolded, he concurred, You make a valid point.

Then what is your intent? Do you genuinely wish to rescue Grandma? Xia Chen inquired once more.

Though Li Jin was his grandmother, Xia Chen harbored no particular affection for her. His chief concern was that her rescue might precipitate negative repercussions on their family.

Xia Wan appeared unperturbed, her smile unwavering as she settled back into her chair. Theres no rush. Theyre arriving

Scarcely had Xia Wan retaken her seat when two individuals entered the room.

The doctor bowed, accompanying a portly man into the chamber.

Clad in an ill-fitting gray suit, the mans protruding belly extended beyond the constraints of his suit jacket, unveiling a substantial expanse of slightly discolored white s.h.i.+rt.

The mans leather shoes bore mud stains, bearing the marks of arduous travel.

A scant few strands of sweat-drenched hair clung to his bald head. Introducing them, the doctor said, This is Director Zhang, our head.

Director, these are the two individuals whove stirred up trouble, he indicated, alluding to Xia Wan and Xia Chen.

Director Zhang lowered his chin ever so slightly, scrutinizing Xia Wan and Xia

Chen with a measured gaze, and inquired, You two are the culprits causing commotion? Do you believe that I wont hesitate to summon the police? Xia Wan stifled a laugh at the prospect of police intervention..
