Mu Ziyu"s current expressions are grim and nervous.He and the people behind him quicken their pace whilst being on guard. The path to the middle of the asylum took at least fifteen minutes, the dim lighting is additionally a factor in it.
One of the people behind Mu Ziyu cannot help but to asks:"Chief Mu, do you recognize who"s the person behind this?"
Mu Ziyu only shakes his head. Another man additionally said:"Maybe it is from our country?"
"That"s impossible, we"re protected by the military and government," replies one of them.
Protected is an understatement. They are, after all, part of the murky water, the darkish face of the country. They function as the charm of the country, in a sense that they do all the dirty works.
"Let"s now not talk about it. We must face the current problem."
They nodded in unison.
Swissh! Swissh! Swissh!
The sound of the wind banging the windows could be heard. And even though it ought to be bright outside, due to the storm, its very dark and gloomy.
"Everyone be on guard," warned by Mu Ziyu.
If those people barged the upper floor, they would already attain the middle floor, however no one was there. More precisely, no one is displaying themselves to be there.
The guards a.s.sembled in a manner where they are protecting Mu Ziyu however he is nonetheless one step ahead of them. They readied their guns with them.
Mu Ziyu took a step ahead when he felt a cold metal aimed at his head.While someone is pointing a gun at him, the guards with him are nevertheless calm.
His eyes flip bloodless at the mediocrity of these guards working for him. They are all useless.
Kacha!
The lights all of a sudden turn on.Upon seeing their modern state, Mu Ziyu could only grit his teeth.
Turns out they"re surrounded by more than twenty people. All of the other peoples" weapons aimed at them. They cannot see and sense them due to the fact they"re crawling and crouching in the ground and the scarce light can"t reach them.
They also broke the protecting formation by silently squeezing in the gaps of the guards.
Mu Ziyu"s guards became anxious as well.
"Chief Mu..."
Mu Ziyu ignored them and said:"I must say, the Xi Clan"s guards are actually skilled."
"Thank you, however I have no use for that mere compliment." A weakly but authoritative voice merged in.
Mu Ziyu narrowed his eyes:"What does Young Master Xi meant via doing this?"
Xi Anran:"Where did you hide my sister?"

Mu Ziyu calmy smile:"I am searching for her."
Xi Anran took his phone and a report came in:"Young Master, we searched the entire upper floor, there is no trace of the young mistress."
Mu Ziyu:"As I was saying, I am searching for her. She isn"t here."
Xi Anran coldly looks at him:"Stop fooling me. Why would you search here instead of the capital where she went missing? Don"t bulls.h.i.t me into p.r.o.nouncing that your power lies right here in this border, on top of that, in this asylum."
That sounds really suspicious, yet Mu Ziyu shrugs his shoulder:"That genuinely is the case. My connections are in this place."
"Above all, breaking in the hospital like this... Isn"t this a crime? You"re also defaming my reputation by announcing that I kidnapped her, however do you have any proof? Do you even have the search warrant to do this?"
"Here," said Xi Anran and handed him a piece of paper.
Mu Ziyu noticed the paper and his eyes darken:"There"s really nothing that cash and power can"t afford[1]."
Xi Anran only glared at him."Young Master! We found a room that has been locked. That"s the sole room that we haven"t searched," Qin Song hurriedly mentioned as he arrived in the scene.
Xi Anran looks at Mu Ziyu who"s facial expression is as stiff as an iron bar.
"Qin Song, lead the way and," Xi Anran paused.
He glanced at Mu Ziyu and said:"Mr. Mu a.s.sist us in opening the door."
Mu Ziyu and his crew had no different choice but be dragged through Xi Anran"s team
...
"The electricity came back quickly?"
Upon entering the room, she was welcomed by a b.l.o.o.d.y and ghastly design.
There"s literally blood everywhere..
008:"Obviously, you should hurry up. The physicians a.s.signed here might come quickly."
"Young Mistress...?"
A man in his thirties was severely wounded and lying in a cold and metallic operating table. His eyes are bloodshot, bruises all over his body. His garments are tattered into pieces.
Seven had a difficult time distinguishing Xi Sheng because of her outfit. He could barely talk.
The last time Xi Sheng saw him. He was once brawny and robust but in just a brief time he disappeared, he became scrawny and his cheekbones are also kind of hollowed. This is the result of being "confined" and "taken care of" by the hospital.
Xi Sheng look at the handcuffs binding him, she"s thinking of a way to free him.
"Young mistress... Ple..please escape quickly..."
008 was also shocked:"They... Plucked out his... Teeth? His tongue is also burned out..."
Xi Sheng also shuddered seeing that, however she nevertheless maintained her calm demeanor.
"Where are the others?"
Seven who was a lot in pain tried to answer:"Es...cape."
Xi Sheng hums. That"s good. She can not a.s.sist many of their injured guards after all.
There are different tools scattered everywhere, be it clinical or carpentry... Wait, carpentry tools?
Xi Sheng madly searched the containers and finds what she needs. She cut it and went to Seven"s side.
008 gulps:"Will that work?"
Xi Sheng straightens out the wire and slowly bend its tip.
Xi Sheng, unsure:"I tried it once in a padlock and it worked."
She places the tip on the keyhole and bends it backwards. Once inserted the tip all the way into the lock, she bends the wire backwards to make another ninety-degree angle. She twisted it in distinctive directions and heard a "kacha!" sound.
But she didn"t remove it, she just makes it looks as if its still locked.
008:"It works." That"s amazing!
"Young Miss.. I"ll only...hinder...you in escap...ing."
Xi Sheng was wondering on her next move, however Seven was constantly nagging at her so she should only warn him:"Shut up. We"ll go away from this s.h.i.tty place. Don"t speak, simply do what I tell you to..."
Seven could solely whimper his opinion and bows his head.
Xi Sheng took a sledgehammer and a ripping bar and weighs each other on both hands.
008 gulps:"You"re not attempting to murder the doctors are you?" If you hit them of either one of those tools, they could die you know...
Xi Sheng only exclaims:"They said sleeping is a temporary death, but who knows whether the death I"ll inflict with these will have temporary, life-long, or natural death?"
Xi Sheng returned the sledgehammer to its place and took the ripping bar.
008 rolled his eyes and shakes his head. The first option is only sleeping, the second is comatose, and the third is death. Either of the three, please make the end result number one!
"The power already returned....be done.. Shall continue.."
She heard the stomping walks outdoor so Xi Sheng right away pull away into a corner where the light faintly reach. The physicians that entered the location consist of two. Xi Sheng didn"t know where the other three went. Maybe they"re a.s.signed on other room and simply approached Mu Ziyu outside.
Anyway, she could handle them... Maybe.
The Doctor who talked with Mu Ziyu earlier said:"Patient Seven, we won"t cause anymore ache and this last would be the last.." as well with your life.
The other health pract.i.tioner took a syringe and was about to inject it when he felt an agonising pain hit his nape.The other physician took notice of it.
He was about to shout, but Xi Sheng"s ripping bar was much faster than his scream.
Pak! Pak!
The two doctors fainted quickly. Xi Sheng swings the ripping bar with her all might and pointed it with their acupoint in their nape that can induce sleeping.
"Gurrgh.."
Xi Sheng falls into her knees. She shortly covered her mouth and was gasping for air, and her body is trembling. She felt nauseous and her strength are all washed out.
"Young... Miss.."
Seven tried to stand up, however there"s no energy left in his body.
To cover up what happened, Xi Sheng glances at Seven and ordered him:"Shout... As painful as you can..."
Seven understood and shouted at the top of his lungs:"Stop!... No.. I.. I can"t!.. Just.. Let me.. Go!"
Xi Sheng hides the doctors" bodies in an inconspicuous place. She stripped one of the doctor"s shirt and gla.s.ses whilst she took the pants and shoes on another one, as well as their lab coats. After doing so, she buried them with other others stuffs like ancient rugs and such.
She gave the clothes to Seven and waited for him to change into those. She additionally took out several plastics containing a piece of bread, a meat, and chunks of juicy fruits to let him regains some of his strength.
008"..." It all came from your pockets? Why do you remind me of a certain robotic cat...
Xi Sheng guards the door while waiting for Seven. Outside, there are still doctors and staffs roaming around, getting out appears risky but there is nothing she could think of to escape.
She was walking aimlessly and then with a few turns, she stumbled upon a door with a name of "Disciplinary Chamber," she swipes the card in her uniform and the door opened.
By the time Xi Anran reached the said door, she and Seven are already busted and was the already held captives, so staying in the room is out of her choices!
Xi Sheng asks:"Can you walk?"
While Seven answers:"Rest... Few more... Minutes."
Xi Sheng nodded.That"s good. At least we could fool the people outside for a short length of time.
Xi Sheng searched inside the room and found water in a mini-sink. She took dip the remaining lab coat and a.s.sist Seven in getting rid of his filth.
Seven was startled and tries to stopped Xi Sheng, but she only glared at him so he could only watch. The once white and pure lab coat is now colored crimson and is very dirty.
After seeing Xi Sheng"s sacrifices, he promised to himself that when they get out alive, he will commit himself to guard his young lady!
When Seven already looks presentable, Xi Sheng put the gla.s.ses and footwear on him. She took an envelope containing doc.u.ments and gave it to him.
Xi Sheng gravely looks at Seven and tells him her plan:"When we get outside, do not raise your head and follow me. When someone calls you do not look at them. Just look at this paper as if you"re studying a very essential report."
Seven nodded his head. Eyes filled with determination.
Xi Sheng could only pray that they won"t notice Seven"s bruises. When the people outside shortened in number, Xi Sheng braced herself.
Creakkk
She slowly opened the door, Seven in the back of her. She was strolling slowly to let Seven noy agitate his wounds. While Seven looks immersed in the doc.u.ments he was holding, his eyes are particularly focused on Xi Sheng"s dress.
"Yes, the patient inside is still full of vitality but his head is already a mess. I suppose the tincture is kind of success?"
"Well, who knows? Its potency is greater than of a common poison?"
Don"t observe us. Don"t notice us. Don"t...
Xi Sheng chanted in her head.
They made their way halfway through stopping to another room and stroll again. In that way, they won"t be noticed that easily.
"I think I"m midway done with my work!"
That voice... That s.h.i.tty voice from earlier!
Xi Sheng quickens her pace. She signals Seven that they needed to get out as quickly as possible. Seven breathe a mouthful of air and endures the stinging pain all over his body.
Just a little more and we are going to pa.s.s from that guy...
Xi Sheng glances at him, the man also took notice of her and smiled.
s.h.i.t, he saw me!
The man was about to name her when he used to be suddenly called by an elderly doctor.
Xi Sheng sigh in relief.
f.u.c.k, staying right here is reducing my lifespan each and every minute!
Xi Sheng almost run while walking when they reached the door. Both she and Seven are gasping here like they entered a ten-kilometer run.
Xi Sheng swipes her card when she heard a devil"s cry ringing in the whole place.
"Head maid Khan!"
Motherf.u.c.ker!
Creakk
Xi Sheng took Seven"s arm and was about to run.
The door opened and muzzle was already pointing in her head.
"Raise your hands!"
Xi Sheng bit her lips.
Curse your whole ancestry!
