Zhu Yanyi had saved a pregnant woman yesterday. The baby was six months old. Most people thought the baby would die from poison. But Zhu Yanyi saved the baby. The baby was weak. It slept most of the time. It did not eat much. But it was alive.
The bad men were shocked. They knew the doctor was very skilled. They searched everywhere. But Li Lijun had chased everyone away before Zhu Yanyi arrived. No one saw her. They tried to ask the pregnant woman. But she wore a mask and a white coat. This gave them no clues. Many doctors in Jinling Hospital wore white coats and masks.
Qin Tianxiang and Zhu Yanyi left carefully. They cleaned up well. The bad men found no clues in the operating room. So they decided to wait. They would wait for her to come back.
Waiting is a slow way. But it worked for them. Zhang Haifeng knew this. She came to find Zhu Yanyi.
"Ani," Zhang Haifeng said. "Can you skip acupuncture tomorrow?"
Zhu Yanyi shook her head fast. "No. Tomorrow is the last day. If we go to Beijing the day after, Senior Brother Zhao will be fine. If I miss one time, she might move too much. Then thirty percent of my work is wasted."
Zhang Haifeng chewed on duck meat. He thought hard. "So you must go."
"Yes," Zhu Yanyi nodded.
Zhang Haifeng thought again. "We need a plan. We cannot let them see you."
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head. "There are two paths to the special ward. Can we use the paths?"
"Paths?" Luo Gang looked at her. "Miss, tell us your idea."
Zhu Yanyi coughed. She nodded. "Tomorrow at six, I will carry breakfast. I will enter the main gate. I will go to the second floor. Then I will turn to the special ward stairs. At the same time, one of you will dress as a doctor. Wear a white coat and mask. Go up the special stairs. Then leave. This will draw them away. It only takes fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes, I will leave Senior Brother’s room."
Luo Gang thought. "Miss’s idea is not complete. But we can do it. Miss, you can pretend to deliver breakfast tomorrow. We brothers will handle the rest."
Zhu Yanyi knew she lacked experience. She nodded. "Okay."
Zhang Haifeng added, "I will help from the shadows. We should control them for twenty-four hours. Let them move freely only after you leave the day after tomorrow."
"It would be good if there was a place they could not leave," Qin Tianxiang said casually.
Zhu Yanyi paused. She looked at Qin Tianxiang.
Qin Tianxiang was surprised. "Yanyi, what’s wrong?"
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head. "Sister Qin, what did you just say?"
"I didn’t say anything," Qin Tianxiang said.
"No, you did. You said, ‘It would be good if there was a place they could not leave.’ Is that what you said?" Zhu Yanyi’s eyes shone. She had an idea.
