Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before Dragon Slaying

Chapter 960: Su Xiaoyan in the hospital (two in one, please subscribe!!!)

When two coincidental events happen to coincide with each other, it's hard to believe that it was a coincidence.

"Hospital." Chu Zihang said.

"Ah?" Aunt Tong hasn't reacted yet.

"Which hospital is my mother in?" Chu Zihang asked.

"But Mr. Chu specifically told us not to tell anyone about Madam's hospitalization. He said that Madam must not be disturbed during her hospitalization. The doctor also recommended that patients need to rest and not be stimulated..." Aunt Tong looked at Chu Zihang's eyes, her voice getting smaller and smaller, and finally she gave up and sighed, "'Sacred Heart Hospital', this is the name of the hospital where Madam is hospitalized... Young Master, don't tell the master that I said that."

"I see, Aunt Tong, thank you." Chu Zihang nodded expressionlessly, "I'll trouble you at home."

Without further ado, Chu Zihang turned around and walked towards the Grand Cherokee, as if he was going to rush to the hospital immediately. After all, it was about his mother... His mother was probably Chu Zihang's bottom line, because in this world, except for the man who had disappeared for seven years, his mother was the only person who was related to him by blood.

If Odin extended his claws to his mother, Chu Zihang would definitely go berserk and seek revenge at all costs, no matter whether that thing was a real "god" or not.

"Aunt Tong, I need a favor from you." Lu Mingfei seemed to have remembered something and said to Aunt Tong before leaving, "If Aunt Su's room hasn't been tidied yet, just leave it as it is for now. When Senior Brother comes back, he will take care of it himself."

"Hey, Mingfei..." Aunt Tong hadn't finished her words yet when Lu Mingfei quickly left because the engine of the Grand Cherokee had started. It seemed that Chu Zihang, who had always been calm, was also anxious about his mother being sent to the hospital.

"I also want to let them see the photo at home. I've never seen the young master so anxious." Aunt Tong couldn't help but sigh as she watched the car driving away quickly.

……

"It's further west, already in the suburbs." Lu Mingfei checked the navigation and said to Chu Zihang, "It's strange. There is a good hospital in the CBD area, why send it to such a remote place? Brother, have you heard of the name 'Sacred Heart Charity Hospital' before?"

"No." Chu Zihang shook his head in the driver's seat. His hands were gripping the steering wheel of the Grand Cherokee, and the accelerator was almost pressed to the bottom.

The huge car was speeding on the city's highway. Fortunately, this car had a powerful power of nearly 300 horsepower, and it was completely rampaging on the highway where almost no cars could be seen.

"It feels like we're almost at the city's edge." Nuonuo was sitting in the back seat, leaning against the window and looking out. The wheels of the car caused the accumulated water on the highway to splash out a wall of water half a person's height. Large tracts of woods were swaying in the wind and rain. Strong winds blew across the highway, and after being reflected by the noise isolation wall, they formed a howling sound like ghosts and wolves.

"There's no one on the road." Eiry also looked out the car window. There were no residential buildings on either side of the road. The only few buildings were either factory foundations whose names had never been heard of, or unfinished buildings with no one in them. There wasn't even a car to be seen on the highway during the morning rainstorm.

"The city has already suspended work and school on a large scale. In this kind of extreme weather, few people are willing to go out. I saw flood prevention warning signs when I got on the highway." Lu Mingfei looked at the navigation and reminded Chu Zihang, "We are about to get off the highway at Exit 68 ahead."

A curved ramp can be seen on the straight road. Chu Zihang drifted past it almost without slowing down. The road looked newly built and was not even equipped with surveillance cameras. Otherwise, with the speed Chu Zihang was going when passing the ramp, he would have taken at least five consecutive shots.

The in-car navigation system hadn't even updated the road conditions for this part, so Lu Mingfei had to use the satellite navigation on his phone, but the network was so poor that he couldn't receive real-time information. The navigation indicated a small path in the mountains. Although it was called a small path, it was actually wider than ordinary city roads. It was very open and flat, paved with asphalt, and there were lush trees on both sides, but there were no buildings to be seen, not even street lights.

It looks like a construction zone that was half-finished and then stopped for some reason.

At the end of the road, a white building can be vaguely seen in the wind and rain. It doesn't look too tall, maybe six or seven floors. There are lights on in several windows, and from a distance it looks like a ghost fire.

"This area would be quite interesting for live ghost hunting." Nono commented, "The environment is actually not bad, but it's too remote. I feel like the Golden Iris Academy I stayed in before was more humane than here. Although it's suitable for rest and recuperation, if I stay here, I'll go crazy in less than three days."

"That's you, Senior Sister. For people who really have mental illness, this kind of place far away from the city is more suitable." After Lu Mingfei finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and hurriedly explained to Chu Zihang, "Sorry, Senior Brother, I didn't mean Aunt Su."

"It's okay." Chu Zihang replied expressionlessly, and the Grand Cherokee stopped outside the high iron fence.

The white building is not far away, but it is separated by a three or four meter high fence and a layer of white wall. The white wall is covered with broken glass and the fence is also connected to the electric fence. I don’t know if it is to prevent theft or something else. In short, the security measures here are very complete.

Sacred Heart Hospital

Through the iron fence, you can see a copper plaque hanging on the white wall with the name of the hospital written on it in both Chinese and English. This is their destination.

Lu Mingfei looked up at the modern-style building. The exterior walls were painted with high-end white paint. Huge floor-to-ceiling windows were embedded in the walls, but the curtains behind the windows were almost all closed. Occasionally, yellow lights shone through the curtains. A huge garden could be seen through the white walls. The green plants were carefully gardened and the lawns were neatly trimmed. The white flowers that Lu Mingfei couldn't name were originally blooming lushly, but now they were wilted by the heavy rain.

"Is this a hospital?" Eri blinked, because this place was nothing like the hospital she had imagined.

A hospital should not be a place filled with the smell of alcohol and disinfectant, with doctors and nurses in white coats pushing beds from one ward to another, ambulances blaring shrill sirens, red lights on in the ICU intensive care unit, children screaming in the infusion area, and someone crying with his face covered in front of the operating room door.

This is how it’s played out in TV shows and movies.

"It's more like a holiday resort than a hospital...if you ignore the electric fence," Nono said. "Strictly speaking, this place is different from public or private hospitals. It might be more accurate to describe it as a high-end sanatorium, but it always makes me feel uncomfortable."

After getting off the car, Chu Zihang walked straight to the fence. Strangely enough, the gate of this hospital was behind the fence, a European-style carved gate with an electromagnetically controlled entrance. Naturally, the security booth was also behind the fence. The gatekeeper was leaning on a recliner, drowsy. The sound of the heavy rain covered up the sound of the car and he was unaware of the arrival of Lu Mingfei and his party.

The fence was not powered on in the rain, so Chu Zihang shook the iron fence, and the sound startled the gatekeeper who was dreaming. "Who is it?" The gatekeeper looked out of the door with sleepy eyes at Lu Mingfei and his group, "What are you doing here?"

"Come to visit the patient." Chu Zihang replied.

"Visiting a patient? At this time?" The old man rubbed his eyes and looked at Chu Zihang suspiciously.

The young man was standing in the rainstorm without an umbrella. His dark hair was soaked by the rain and covered his eyes. He exuded an aura of "keep away from strangers". He had neither a flower basket nor fruits in his hands. He didn't look like he was visiting a patient at all, but rather like a gangster coming to collect a debt.

"Oh, it's a pity to arrive early." Lu Mingfei came over and held a black umbrella over his and Chu Zihang's heads. "The patients are resting at night, and the hospital refuses visitors. You must visit the patients in the morning, right?"

"That makes sense, but you don't look like you're here to visit a patient." The security guard looked at Chu Zihang, then at Lu Mingfei, "What are your names? Who are you visiting? What's your relationship with the patient?"

"To be honest, sir, it's his mother who's sick." Lu Mingfei pointed at Chu Zihang, "My name is Lu Mingfei, his name is Chu Zihang, and his mother's name is Su Xiaoyan. We are absolutely good citizens. We went out to party too late last night, and when we got home this morning we found out that his mother had been sent to the hospital, so we rushed over to check on her."

"The people who live here have had problems for a long time. They knew their family members were sick but still held parties all night. They only started to worry when something happened. Young people nowadays really have no filial piety." The security guard sighed and thought about the decline of morals. He operated the computer unskillfully, "Su Xiaoyan, right? Let me check for you... Hmm? Sent here in the early hours of the night? It's a woman named Su Xiaoyan."

“Yes, yes, I heard from the aunt at home that it was delivered less than ten hours ago.” Lu Mingfei nodded.

"You guys go back. Su Xiaoyan's guardian left us a message refusing all visits." The security guard waved at Lu Mingfei and the others and leaned back in his recliner.

"Oh, no, this is Su Xiaoyan's son. How could a son be refused to visit his mother?" Lu Mingfei was a little dumbfounded.

"This is our rule here. We will follow the request of whoever pays." The old man said, "The person who paid is a man named Lu. He booked the highest-end room and left a message saying that no visitors are allowed. If you have any needs, talk to Mr. Lu. He will call the hospital. I can let you in only after the hospital approves it."

"How long will it take?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"It will probably take two or three hours to complete the process. Let's see when you can contact Mr. Lu." The security guard turned on a spy movie on the small color TV next to him.

"I can't wait that long." Chu Zihang said.

"Young man, don't make it difficult for me. It's not that I won't be accommodating to you. This is the rule here. If you break the rule, I will lose my job." The old man probably felt that these guys were not easy to deal with, so he took a step back and said, "How about this, if you have anything to say, you can leave a message here. When you have time, I will talk to the girls in the nursing room and ask them to pass it on to your mother. Do you think this is okay? Or you can contact Mr. Lu earlier, so that I can let you go."

Chu Zihang raised his head, glanced at the hospital, turned around and left.

"Thank you for the trouble, sir. There's no need to bring the message. It's better not to disturb Aunt Su's rest." After a few polite words, Lu Mingfei followed Chu Zihang.

Back in the car, Nono asked, "What do you mean?"

"You're not allowed in. Chu Zihang's father said that no one is allowed to visit." Lu Mingfei shook his head.

"So inhumane?" Nuo Nuo frowned. "Isn't that the same as isolating your mother? Isn't this restricting personal freedom? He doesn't even let you, his own son, see him. Is your father so controlling?"

"There is another possibility. Mom's condition is more serious than Aunt Tong said." Chu Zihang shook his head. He knew his stepfather quite well. The man didn't have a strong desire to control his mother. On the contrary, he was quite respectful. This showed that his mother was not just scared by a nightmare.

Tong Yi might not be lying to herself, maybe she doesn't know the real situation either.

"Then what should we do? Break in?" Nuo Nuo asked. She knew that with Chu Zihang's personality, it was impossible for him to just turn around and leave.

"It's better not to disturb Mom." Chu Zihang shook his head. He drove the car behind a dense forest, stopped, and got out of the car.

"Senior sister, you and Eri wait in the car for a while. I'll go with you to take a look." After giving a few instructions, Lu Mingfei got out of the car.

It was raining heavily. Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang went around to the side of the hospital. There was no door here, but it was also surrounded by a fence. Chu Zihang put his hands on the fence, and there was a faint golden light in his pupils.

Until the rain fell on the fence, white mist came out with a "sizzling" sound, and the two sections of iron railings were bent by Chu Zihang with his bare hands. Chu Zihang stepped sideways and Lu Mingfei followed behind him.

The two or three meter high white wall was no problem at all for the ace specialists of the executive department, and they slipped into the building easily.

Nuonuo was right. This place was more like a high-end resort than a hospital. The pretty girl on duty was sleeping soundly at the front desk. It was terribly quiet here. No doctors, nurses or suffering patients could be seen inside or outside. The corridors were very clean, with rooms on both sides. On the doors were number plates with the patient's name, illness and a number.

Probably something like the level of the disease. Lu Mingfei saw the number in front of the door of the "anxiety disorder" patient was "2", "schizophrenia" was "5", "severe depression" was "7"... It seemed that the patients here were all living here because of mental illnesses.

"There are too many wards. How about we split up and search separately?" Lu Mingfei suggested, "Brother, you go from the bottom to the top, and I'll go from the top to the bottom. We'll meet at the door of Aunt Su's ward."

"Okay." Chu Zihang nodded.

Instead of taking the elevator, Lu Mingfei ran all the way up to the sixth floor and looked at every room from top to bottom. However, the fifth floor did not seem to be the patient area, so he soon found his target on the fourth floor.
