Li Qingcang wasn’t as calm as Xie Xuning.
However, Xie Xuning’s mood was gloomier than Li Qingcang’s..
The kidnappers worked hard to find the perfect hideout to keep Ye Tianxin. Until now, Xie Xuning and Li Qingcang had no clue where the mercenaries had been hiding Ye Tianxin.
Xie Xuning just glanced at the surveillance footage once again. Many rich and powerful people were living in the nursing home. How could Xie Xuning move discreetly?
If he wanted to search this nursing home, it would invoke some people’s exasperation. They might even prevent him from searching the area fast.
Perhaps the mercenaries were using Ye Tianxin to control him.
“Uncle, Tianxin is still out there. God knows what they have done to her! I can’t be as calm as you are.”
Li Qingcang couldn’t wait to skin those people alive. He didn’t care what kind of people lived here. He just wanted to find Ye Tianxin.
It didn’t matter if he were to invade some big shot’s privacy. He must see his Tianxin.
If anyone dared to stop him, he wouldn’t think twice and killed them on the spot.
“I am not calm either. Tianxin is my daughter, but she has no idea that I am her father,” Xie Xuning replied. He leaned closer to Li Qingcang to keep anybody from hearing what he had to say. “I am more anxious than you. But we must not let our emotions keep us from being rational. We’re dealing with mercenaries here.”
Li Qingcang couldn’t help but sigh. Xie Xuning was right. They were dealing with dangerous people. A half-baked plan was as good as nothing.
“Let’s go.”
Xie Xuning and Li Qingcang left the monitoring room, and they went directly to Xie Xingqing’s ward.
Her name wasn’t actually Xie Xingqing.
Xie Xingqing’s father, who was once a comrade-in-arms of Xie Xinghe’s father, died while on a mission. Then his only daughter was adopted by the Xie family and was renamed Xie Xingqing.
She became Xie Xinghe’s younger sister.
Xie Xingqing had been living in this nursing home since her accident. Her symptoms were no different from those of ordinary people.
However, she was in a coma.
When unsuspecting people looked at her, they would think that she was just peacefully asleep.
Only the people closest to Xie Xingqing knew that machines were the ones keeping her alive.
The doctor once said that she might wake up. As to when, no one could tell.
“Sister Xingqing…”
Li Qingcang walked to Xie Xingqing’s side. He looked at Xie Xingqing’s serene face. Then his expression was grave. He was afraid…
He was afraid that his Tianxin would become like her one day.
Li Qingcang then walked out of the ward and rang the fire alarm.
The piercing bell rang through the quiet sanatorium.
Many people were running towards the exit when they heard the alarm.
Li Qingcang and Xie Xuning searched the crowd for the staff who should be on duty tonight.
“The staff on duty seems to have gone out.”
Watching the crowd gathered in the open space of the nursing home, Li Qingcang stood behind the curtains.
The duty manager was comforting everyone.
“Everyone, please stay calm. There is no fire. Our security has gone to check the specific situation.”
Xie Xuning felt a shiver down his spine. He was afraid that he judged wrong this time.
His palms were sweating, and he was fidgeting.
His vest also felt cold to the touch.
He must have overlooked some details.
Xie Xuning stroked his chin and was occupied with his thoughts. When Xie Xuning and Li Qingcang were both anxious but unable to make a move, Xie Xinghe arrived with backup.
