"Sister, I just happened to pass by your favorite pastry shop, so I…"
As Chai Yanyu pushed the door open, he froze.
There was no sign of Wei Yumeng here. The bed was already tidied, clearly indicating Wei Yumeng had left on her own.
He immediately called Wei Yumeng, but only got a busy signal.
Chai Yanyu was furious. Without a second thought, he stopped a nurse responsible for the nearby wards and asked, "Where did the person here go?"
His voice was bone-chilling, startling the young nurse into silence.
"Speak!" Chai Yanyu urged again.
"I... I don't know..." The nurse was on the verge of tears.
The head nurse happened to see the situation and rushed over. "Sir, please speak calmly. Don't get agitated."
Chai Yanyu didn't give them a pleasant look. "Is this your hospital's service? How can a living person just disappear?"
The head nurse was still in disbelief. Upon entering the room, she indeed found that the person was gone.
"Sir, I will arrange for people to search immediately. Please give us a chance."
Chai Yanyu didn't speak, his brow furrowed.
The head nurse immediately arranged for the hospital's security guards and nurses to search for Wei Yumeng.
Meanwhile, Chai Yanyu pondered where Wei Yumeng might have gone.
As expected, even after searching the entire hospital, they couldn't find Wei Yumeng.
However, the elderly man at the entrance provided a clue. "I saw the person you're looking for. She left about an hour ago. She looked fine and seemed quite energetic, so I didn't think she was a patient."
This further confirmed that Wei Yumeng had left on her own.
Chai Yanyu felt incredibly frustrated. He should have been watching over Wei Yumeng constantly, but due to a moment's carelessness, Wei Yumeng had managed to leave.
He was now extremely worried about Wei Yumeng's condition, fearing that if she became overwhelmed...
Suddenly, Chai Yanyu realized that Wei Yumeng was no longer in a state where hearing news of Zhan Mohan would cause her to relapse.
Since they now had clear news about Zhan Mohan, Wei Yumeng's departure could only have one purpose...
When Mu Linjing saw Wei Yumeng, she was also startled. "Yumeng, why are you here? Are you alright?"
Wei Yumeng shook her head. "I'm not as serious as you think. I can move around without any problems."
"But your child..." Mu Linjing was extremely worried.
"Don't worry, I'm already a mother of two. I know what I'm doing." Wei Yumeng then asked, "By the way, how is Yichen?"
"He's fine. Do you want to see him?"
Wei Yumeng nodded.
"Are you planning to go find him yourself?" Mu Linjing suddenly understood. "No, I can't let you take such a risk."
But Wei Yumeng was very firm. "Mohan is my husband. Of course, I have to go find him myself. My mind is made up. Even if you try to stop me or not tell me what I want to know, I can find a way myself."
Mu Linjing knew Wei Yumeng better than anyone. No one could change Wei Yumeng's decision now.
Instead of trying to force Wei Yumeng to stay, it was better to discuss with her what to do next.
"Alright, I'll take you to see Yichen."
After the three of them discussed it, they managed to formulate a relatively solid plan.
Wei Yumeng would be escorted in by the previous contact person.
"Sister-in-law, you must remember, when you go to the rendezvous, don't concern yourself with anything unrelated to you. Their internal conflicts are not something we can get involved in."
Zhan Yichen repeatedly warned her.
Wei Yumeng nodded. "I understand."
"Also," Zhan Yichen continued, "no matter what, once you get there, you must maintain contact with us. Preferably, report to us daily. Whether you have news of my brother or not, you must return within a week. Just one week."
"Okay." Wei Yumeng agreed without any objection.
However, Mu Linjing looked worried. She truly couldn't bear to let Wei Yumeng go alone.
"Yumeng, why don't you reconsider? We can think of another way. I... I'm a little scared."
She then looked at Zhan Yichen. "Yichen, you should try to persuade her too."
But Zhan Yichen sighed. "Even if we try to persuade Sister-in-law now, she won't listen to us at all."
Zhan Yichen regretted his injuries so severely. If he weren't injured, he could at least accompany Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng also knew that if she lingered any longer, Zhan Yichen and Mu Linjing might really find a way to keep her there.
So, she had already stood up. "I understand. Don't worry, I will protect myself."
After saying that, she turned and left Zhan Yichen's ward.
Zhan Yichen and Mu Linjing watched Wei Yumeng's departing back, their hearts filled with unease and worry.
Mu Linjing even stood up and said to Zhan Yichen, "Yichen, why don't I go with Yumeng? Two people are better than one."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Zhan Yichen received a call...
Zhan Yichen had arranged everything. Wei Yumeng, following their agreed plan, deliberately wore clothes that looked a bit disheveled, holding an old newspaper, and arrived at the entrance of the street.
Of course, before arriving here, Wei Yumeng had done her homework.
This street originally had a pleasant name, Baskerville Street. However, due to the influx of dangerous individuals, this area had become the most perilous part of the city, and locals had renamed it Black Street.
While Wei Yumeng waited for the contact person, she saw several people heading towards Black Street one after another.
From their outward appearance alone, one could sense a sense of malevolence, indicating they were definitely not good people.
"Yo, how unusual, a woman?"
Wei Yumeng was startled, but luckily, the speaker wasn't referring to her.
"Woman, what are you doing here? Haven't you heard the rules? Outsiders are killed on sight."
Hearing this, the woman seemed to realize she had come to the wrong place.
"Sorry, I... I think I took a wrong turn."
But the men gave her no chance to leave and grabbed her arm.
"It's too late. Since you're here, why don't we give you some unforgettable memories?"
As he spoke, he had already lifted the woman up.
"Let me go!" The woman struggled desperately, but to no avail.
Wei Yumeng found the scene unbearable, but should she ignore it?
Just as she was hesitating, a hand from the darkness suddenly pulled her away...
