Chapter 335: Chapter 0334: Encountering Ghost Shadow Again (One more update)_1

Night fell.

Duanmu First Hospital, VIP inpatient building.

A figure, akin to a civet cat, climbed up a water pipe, reaching the third floor in no time.

Having already scoped out the second floor the previous night, Ye Xiong went straight to the third floor.

Just as he landed on the third floor corridor, he suddenly spotted a camera overhead, surveilling the entire hallway. One more step and he would have been captured on film.

Ye Xiong had anticipated this and swiftly entered an adjacent patient room.

The room was empty, without a single person inside.

Ye Xiong took off his black clothes and put on the doctor’s uniform he had readied beforehand, covering his face with white cloth, making himself look like a surgeon from the operating room.

In any other place, this get-up would be odd, but in a hospital, it didn’t seem strange at all.

After getting dressed, Ye Xiong came out of the room with a notebook, checking each room one by one.

Anyone seeing him would only think he was a night-shift doctor making his rounds.

Ye Xiong had checked the entire third floor. Some rooms were occupied, some empty—there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Along the way, he came across several on-duty nurses whom he easily fooled and bypassed.

Half an hour later, Ye Xiong started heading up to the fourth floor.

There were noticeably more nurses on the fourth floor, indicating that the residents there were either more numerous or held more prestigious statuses.

Ye Xiong continued with his notebook, pretending to record entries, but after checking the entire floor, apart from discovering a doctor and a nurse having an affair in a room, he still hadn’t found anything.

Only the top floor remained.

Ye Xiong went up the stairs, intending to go to the fifth floor, when he discovered that it was blocked by an iron door that was locked tight, barring any further ascent.

Ye Xiong took out a wire and fiddled with it, but couldn’t get it open after a long while. It seemed the lock was specially made, impossible to open without a key.

He had no choice but to climb up the water pipe.

Ye Xiong went down to the fourth floor, headed to a corner room, and then climbed up the water pipe.

The entire fifth floor was eerily silent, not a soul in sight, with all room doors closed and dark, indicating they were all empty.

Except for one room, which still had the lights on.

Ye Xiong pressed his body against the wall, inching closer to that room. He pulled out a small mirror from his bosom and extended it slowly, observing the scene inside through its reflection.

In the center of the room, there was a table with three men seated at it.

Two of them were playing cards, while another was toying with a strange hidden weapon. After seeing the face of the man playing with the hidden weapon, Ye Xiong’s pupils suddenly dilated.

That man was none other than Ghost Shadow, whom he had fought against in a previous battle at Lei’s. In his hands was the wire launcher.

Seeing Ghost Shadow, Ye Xiong breathed a sigh of relief; this confirmed his suspicion that Ghost, very likely, was on this floor.

Ye Xiong quietly shifted away, continuing his search.

Before long, he came across another iron door, thicker than the one closing off the staircase to the fifth floor, completely impenetrable without a key.

He could vaguely make out that at the end of this iron door was a room, its door tightly locked.

Was Ghost hiding inside?

Ye Xiong frowned, pondering how to open the door.

The key to this iron door had to be on one of the three men in the room, but which one he didn’t know. Forcing his way in might not yield any advantage.

Ghost Shadow was already a challenging opponent; the abilities of the remaining two could certainly be no less formidable. Forcing an entry didn’t seem promising.

Unless he transformed into a Gene Warrior, but after such a transformation, he would have a period of zero defense, making him very vulnerable, not to mention the lack of any allies by his side.

The most critical issue was that he couldn’t be sure the master of the room was indeed Ghost.

If not, wouldn’t that be spooking the snake in the grass?

Ye Xiong pondered for a moment, then pulled out a tiny needle-shaped device from his person and aimed it at the iron door.

It was a high-tech pinhole camera with built-in storage functionality, extremely small in size and hard to detect.

After concealing the camera in the most hidden corner, Ye Xiong cautiously retraced his steps back along the original path.

He could only begin by determining who held the key, then slowly figure out a plan.

Before confirming the real identity of the person in the hospital room, Ye Xiong would temporarily refrain from taking any rash action.

Even if he truly found traces of Ghost, he couldn’t risk startling the target, at least not until backup arrived.

Back at the inpatient department, Xia Xiaoyou hurried over to him upon his return and anxiously said, “Chen Yang, where did you run off to?”

“In the middle of the night, shouldn’t one find a place to catch some sleep to make it through till dawn?” Ye Xiong yawned.

“You actually went to sleep? You’ve only just started working two days ago, aren’t you afraid of getting fired?”

“It’s your turn to sleep now, I’ll keep watch,” Ye Xiong waved his hand.

“I’m not going to sleep. What if the same situation as last night happens again?” Xia Xiaoyou was somewhat worried.

“With me here, you can rest assured. Go to sleep, just don’t turn off your phone.”

Under Ye Xiong’s influence, Xia Xiaoyou finally found a place to sneak off and sleep.

This guy, on his first day on the job, had already led a diligent nurse astray.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, when Ye Xiong returned to the hotel, the first thing he did was call Long Zaitian and report what he had discovered the previous night.

Upon hearing the news, Long Zaitian said, “Based on what you’ve said, it’s very possible that Ghost is in that room receiving treatment. Don’t spook them just yet, try to confirm if the person in the room is Ghost. I will immediately arrange for people to come over.”

“Who are you planning to send over?” Ye Xiong asked.

“The only ones I trust now are Wu Wang and Phoenix. Phoenix has an important matter to deal with, so I can only send Wu Wang and a group of trusted aides. They should arrive in Lingnan within a day. I’ve already told them to follow your instructions when they get there.”

“You have to ensure confidentiality on your end, don’t let the information leak.”

“Ghost has many skilled experts at his side, without solid evidence, we must not act rashly,” Long Zaitian cautioned.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiong felt a surge of excitement.

He was finally about to find Ghost.

As long as he could take him down, he would be able to sleep easy hereafter.

Next, Ye Xiong called the An Family Sisters and asked them to temporarily stop tracking the Duanmu Brothers, as their alertness was too strong and he didn’t want to fail at this critical juncture.

After the An Family Sisters returned, Ye Xiong shared the details of his reconnaissance with them and instructed the two women to be on standby at the hotel.

“Who wants to let me stick a few needles?” Ye Xiong asked during a lull.

Upon hearing his words, the two women simultaneously stood up and walked towards the door, just like last time.

“One stick, one hundred thousand,” Ye Xiong gritted his teeth.

The two women ignored him.

“Two hundred thousand,” Ye Xiong doubled the offer.

“Where?”

An Le’er stopped, while An Ji had already disappeared without a trace.
