"What's wrong?" Shen Ran sat up straight and was about to look outside. Chen Yifan suddenly stood up and protected her behind him. "It's okay, stay here and don't come out!"

He pushed open the door and walked out, coming to Qiu Gu and demanding, "What the hell are you doing here? Are you here to get revenge on me? I'm telling you, this is a hospital, not a place for you to run wild. Get out of here!"

Qiu Gu didn't say anything, but just tilted his head slightly, his eyes still cold, as if he was looking at an inanimate object rather than a person.

Chen Yifan was a little panicked. He was not afraid that the girl would fight with him, but Shen Ran was pregnant now. If a fight really broke out, he would not be able to distract himself to protect Shen Ran.

He gripped the saber tightly in his hand, took a step forward, and said in a harsher tone, "Did you hear me? Get away from here! If you dare to hang around here again, I'll kill you!"

At this moment, Shen Ran in the ward suddenly shouted, "Chen Yifan, who is that person outside? Stop arguing with them!"

He turned around and said, "It's okay, she just took the wrong road. I told her to hurry up!" When he turned around again, Qiu Gu was gone.

Chen Yifan looked along the corridor in both directions, took a look at the door of every ward, even the stairwell and the bathroom, but he didn't even see the shadow of the prisoner.

He pulled out his phone and called his brothers from Niguangtang, his tone filled with anger: "Hello, it's me! Hurry and get to the obstetrics department of the Central Hospital. Yes, that's the building where your sister-in-law lives! Keep a close eye on all the entrances and exits of this building. That devil girl has appeared again. If you see her, arrest her immediately. Don't let her get away!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yifan ran to the nurses' station again, grabbed a nurse and asked, "Did you see a little girl wearing a pink hooded sweatshirt passing by here just now? She was about this tall, very thin, and her hood was pulled down very low." As he spoke, he gestured with his hands to indicate the prisoner's height.

The nurse was frightened by him and shook her head: "No...I didn't see it. I was just writing down the record here and didn't notice anyone passing by."

"Didn't you see it?" He frowned and asked the nurse next to him, "What about you? Did you see it?"

The nurse also shook her head: "I just went to the ward to change the dressing and didn't notice anyone in the corridor."

Chen Yifan cursed and turned to walk back to the ward. Shen Ran was sitting on the bed, anxiously looking at the door. Seeing him come back, he hurriedly asked: "Did you find the person? Who is it? You were so nervous just now, is it related to your old enemies in the underworld?"

"I didn't find her. She ran away." Chen Yifan walked to the bedside and sat down. He grabbed Shen Ran's hand and rubbed it. "Don't worry, I've asked the brothers to guard the hospital entrance tightly. She can't run away. As for who she is... She's a girl who had a grudge against me in the past. I guess she's here to get revenge on me."

"The little girl is taking revenge on you?" Shen Ran frowned. "How many people have you offended? They even came to the hospital. No, I have to call my dad and ask him to send some bodyguards to guard us. This is too unsafe."

"No need!" Chen Yifan quickly held down her hand holding the phone. "It's just a small matter. I can handle it myself."

"But I'm worried about you and the child," Shen Ran's voice softened. "What if she really does something bad to you? Or to our child..."

"As long as I'm here, no one can lay a finger on you and the baby!" Chen Yifan interrupted her and reached out to touch her belly. "From today on, I will stay by your side every step of the way. I won't sleep in the accompanying bed at night. I will sit by your bed and watch over you. If she dares to come again, I will make sure she never comes back!"

Shen Ran looked at his serious expression and could only nod: "Then don't be too stubborn. If there is any danger, you must protect yourself first."

"understood."

He kept thinking about Qiu Gu's eyes just now. They were cold and emotionless, but they also revealed an indescribable determination. Was she here to take revenge on him, or was she here for Shen Ran and the child?

If he wanted revenge on me, why didn't he just do it directly, but instead hid at the door and watched?

Just as I was pondering this, my phone rang. It was a call from my brothers from Niguangtang. "Brother Chen, we've arrived at the hospital. We've already secured the front and back doors of the obstetrics building. We've also deployed personnel to the stairwells and elevators. We're starting to search each floor now. We'll let you know as soon as we have any information."

"Okay," Chen Yifan nodded. "Be careful when searching, and don't alert the other patients. That devil girl is very good at hiding. Pay more attention to places like ventilation vents and storage rooms. Also, if you find her, don't fight her head-on. She might have a knife in her hand. Surround her first and wait for me to get there."

After hanging up the phone, he walked to the door of the ward and looked back at Shen Ran: "Stay here and don't open the door casually. I'll go out and take a look."

"Be careful." Shen Ran warned.

The sound-activated lights in the corridor were awakened by Chen Yifan's footsteps and lit up. He walked slowly along the corridor, his eyes fixed on every corner, his ears perked up, listening to the movements around him.

When he reached the stairwell door, he vaguely heard light footsteps inside. He held his breath and slowly pushed the stairwell door open, clenching his fists, ready to take action at any time.

The stairwell was pitch black, with only the moonlight filtering through the window illuminating the ground. He took two steps inside and called out, "Ghost girl, I know you're here. Don't hide. Come out and talk."

There was no response, only the sound of wind blowing through the windows.

Chen Yifan walked inside again, his eyes swept across the corner of the stairs, and suddenly saw a pink corner of clothes flash and disappear at the corner of the second floor.

"Fuck! He's here!" Chen Yifan immediately chased after him, shouting, "Don't fucking run! Explain yourself!"

He rushed down the stairs and just as he reached the corner of the second floor, he saw nothing in front of him. The emergency exit light at the end of the corridor was flashing green, like a coldly watching eye. Apart from that, there was not even a single person in sight.

He walked into the corridor with his fists clenched, looking through the peephole at every ward door. From some wards, the snoring of patients could be heard, while from some wards, night lights were on. He could vaguely see the caregivers sleeping beside the beds, but he didn't see the figure in the pink sweatshirt.

When he reached the storage room in the middle of the corridor, he stopped. The door handle was cold. He took a deep breath and pulled the door open. Cleaning tools and spare sheets were piled inside. The bottles of disinfectant on the shelf shook. Apart from that, the room was so empty that he could hear his own breathing.

"Where the hell is this devil hiding?" Chen Yifan cursed under his breath and ran to the bathroom again. There was only an old man washing his hands in the men's bathroom. Seeing his fierce look, he was so scared that he quickly took the basin and left.

He didn't dare to enter the female guard, so he could only stand at the door and shout, "You little devil! If you're in there, get out now! Stop playing tricks!"

After shouting for a long time with no response, he became like a psychopath. He took out his phone and called his friend downstairs, "Second floor! Send two people up here to search the second floor! Focus on the storage room and bathroom! That girl got lost in the stairwell a while ago, she must be on this floor!"

"Click~"

Just after hanging up the phone, the vent cover at the end of the corridor moved. Chen Yifan immediately turned around, his eyes fixed on the vent: "You're fucking hiding in there, right?"

He ran over quickly. The ventilation vent was just below the ceiling, more than two meters above the ground.

He stood on tiptoe and reached for the cover. Just as he touched the edge, he heard a slight noise coming from the ventilation duct, as if something was crawling inside.

"Want to run? No way!" Chen Yifan angrily tugged at the cover, but it was nailed down tightly. He pulled for a long time and only managed to remove a few grains of dust. The sound from the vent duct grew increasingly distant, and soon it could no longer be heard.

"Fuck! She can even hide?!" Chen Yifan felt very anxious. This little devil was not only good at fighting, but she could also get through the ventilation duct like a mouse. How could he catch her?

At this time, two brothers in black jackets ran up and said, "Brother Chen! We're here! Where are you?"

"Ventilation duct!" Chen Yifan pointed at the vent on the ceiling, "That girl was hiding in there just now, and now I don't know which direction she's gone.

"Hurry up and check the ventilation duct routes of this building. Also, call up a few of the guys from other floors and guard every floor! Don't let her escape to other places through the ventilation ducts!"

"Alright!" Dahu immediately pulled out his phone contacts. Ergou looked up at the vent. "This duct is so narrow, and she's so thin, how could she actually fit in...Brother Chen, do you want to find some tools to dismantle the duct?"

"Tear it down!" Chen Yifan glared at him. "This is a hospital! What if we tear down the ventilation duct and it affects other patients? Search slowly!"
