Huo Rou touched her waist. She had been in the laboratory recently and only carried a miniature gun. Fortunately, she still had a dagger hidden in her winter boots and hidden weapons in her phone. That should be enough.
He Zhongwu's small team should also be useful.
She naturally stood behind He Zhongwu.
The squad leader stretched his shoulders and had no objection to Huo Rou's position. Instead, he moved aside and stood behind her in a protective stance.
The team continued to advance. Just as Huo Rou stepped forward to follow, she suddenly sensed something was wrong.
Someone was watching her.
She looked around. Having evaded so many snipers during operations, her perceptiveness honed by practice wouldn't be wrong.
"Huo... Huo Rou, what are you looking at?" The squad leader was a little older than Huo Rou and wasn't sure how to address her. Seeing her looking around, he couldn't help but ask.
"Someone is watching this place..." Huo Rou answered casually, her voice trailing off. Her gaze fixed on the hospital floors.
The squad leader looked around confusedly, "Who??"
He Zhongwu, however, followed Huo Rou's gaze and saw a thin woman in a black sweater by a sixth-floor window. He couldn't help but frown.
Chen Li hadn't expected Huo Rou to notice her gaze and look directly at her.
From such a distance, she couldn't make out Huo Rou's expression, but she could feel that she had been targeted.
It felt as if she had become prey.
Chen Li narrowed her eyes, looked down at the message on her phone, and felt some of her tension dissipate.
No matter how perceptive Huo Rou was, she would have her own troubles to deal with now.
Looking at Chen Li's gaze from below, Huo Rou suddenly remembered the feeling of being watched whenever she met An An here.
"Wu You," she turned to look at Shen Wu You, "What was the result of that blood test before?"
Shen Wu You lowered his gaze for a moment, recalling the report. He had planned to find Huo Rou later to tell her. "There was a trace of pine pollen. Faint."
"Faint?" Huo Rou already had an answer in mind.
Shen Wu You nodded, "That's why the condition is recurring and not improving."
"What's wrong with that woman?" He Zhongwu asked her in a low voice.
Huo Rou pursed her lips, "There's something wrong."
"I'll report to the commander in the car later and send someone to deal with it." Although He Zhongwu was a little anxious, An An's safety was paramount. They couldn't alert the enemy now. "Let's go first."
Huo Rou nodded. As she walked forward with the team, she opened her communication interface and sent a message to Chen Guo Chao.
Chen Guo Chao replied quickly. With the help of An An's pills, he had enough energy to handle general affairs.
【She's always there, frequent texts, especially this morning.】
Chen Guo Chao then sent several more messages asking what was going on.
Huo Rou replied: 【Keep her steady.】
The team had already reached the hospital's main entrance.
"Uncle He, wait a moment." Huo Rou put away her phone. When she looked up, a deep killing intent flickered in her eyes.
He Zhongwu was startled by her gaze and instinctively stopped.
"What's wrong?" The squad leader came over to ask.
He Zhongwu remembered the woman in black earlier and looked at the hospital entrance again. He had a feeling Huo Rou wanted to deal with that woman right now, but...
"Our mission is to find An An. Aren't you in a hurry?"
She was the one who had insisted on coming with them to find An An earlier, and now she wanted to go to the hospital to deal with the problematic woman.
Women were indeed emotional and fickle, lacking a sense of priorities.
He Zhongwu had mentally criticized Huo Rou countless times. He wished he hadn't agreed.
"This is our bargaining chip." Huo Rou looked at the hospital entrance. "Uncle He, please, I need to take this woman with me."
This woman had stayed in the hospital for so long, enduring the pain and truly suffering from the virus. She must be special to the organization behind her.
Just as He Zhongwu was about to say something, Huo Rou grabbed him and pulled him into the hospital entrance. Her strength was so great that the words of objection died on his lips.
When Huo Rou opened the ward door, Chen Li was looking at her phone triumphantly. She was momentarily surprised to see Huo Rou, then hid it, looking at Huo Rou with a puzzled expression, "Is there something?"
Huo Rou saw the hint of triumph in her eyes. She twitched her lips and didn't bother with the frivolous talk. She attacked directly.
"Ah!" Chen Li, as if startled by her, scrambled away, "Help!"
