Huo Shaoheng glanced at Gu Nianzhi from the corner of his eye as he drove. Seeing her biting her nails again, he reached out with his right hand and pulled her fingers out of her mouth. He said unhappily, "Biting your nails again. Didn't I just cut them for you a few days ago?"
Gu Nianzhi smiled sheepishly and pushed Huo Shaoheng's hand away. She placed it on the steering wheel and tilted her head. "Huo Shao, drive properly. I can't control the steering wheel with one hand."
"I can drive without using my hands." Huo Shaoheng looked away and looked at the iron gates of the hospital in front of him. He was still worried and reminded her, "We're here. Remember to be careful."
Gu Nianzhi nodded and perked up to get out of the car with Huo Shaoheng.
There was a sentry post in front of the iron gates to check passports. It looked like a military camp.
Gu Nianzhi was secretly surprised and followed Huo Shaoheng closely to the sentry post.
The sentry post was obviously a white mercenary.
He was holding an AMR in his arms and wearing a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses. When he saw Gu Nianzhi, he whistled at her and said flirtatiously, "This girl is so cute. Do you want to go for a drink tonight?"
Huo Shaoheng quietly took a step forward and blocked Gu Nianzhi behind him. At the same time, he showed the passports in his hand and spoke in English with a black accent. The white mercenary heard the English with a black accent and was impressed by Huo Shaoheng. He quickly took the passports in to verify its authenticity and came out with a much more amiable smile. "Thank you, sir and madam. You can go in now."
He pressed the button on the large iron gates, which creaked and automatically opened to both sides.
Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi returned to their convertible jeep and started the car to drive in.
According to the address Gu Yanran had given them, Huo Shaoheng drove through the small paths of the hospital.
On the way, he saw some patients in hospital gowns walking in groups of twos and threes. There were also black nurses in snow-white nurse skirts pushing wheelchairs so that patients who couldn't walk could come out and get some fresh air.
Gu Nianzhi became nervous for no reason. She smoothed her hair and took out a small mirror to look at her makeup. She then adjusted her modified hunting jacket and wanted to take out lipstick to apply on her lips again.
Huo Shaoheng couldn't stand it anymore. He reached out and took the small makeup mirror from her hand. "Don't be nervous. That's your father. What are you nervous about?"
"I don't know, I'm just nervous …" Gu Nianzhi said coquettishly. "And I really don't remember them at all …"
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember, as long as the law recognizes your status." Huo Shaoheng rubbed her head. "… Do you still remember what to do?"
"Yeah, I remember everything." Gu Nianzhi nodded and immediately repeated the entire protocol to Huo Shaoheng.
"…"
Alright, this kid was really nervous.
Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything else. He drove her to the building where Gu Xiangwen was staying.
This was a small building located in the deepest part of the hospital. The outer wall was made of dark green glass, and it was very inconspicuous in the thick shade of the trees.
Getting out of the jeep, Gu Nianzhi nervously walked beside Huo Shaoheng.
She said she was nervous, but she didn't tell him the whole reason.
On one hand, she was indeed nervous about the upcoming father-daughter meeting, but on the other hand, it was her first official mission with Huo Shaoheng and the others. She was very, very worried that she would be a burden to them …
Huo Shaoheng's pace was calm as he strolled to the entrance of the small building to register. He showed his passport to the person at the registration desk.
The person took it to verify its authenticity before returning with a smile. "Sir, please come with me."
Huo Shaoheng raised a brow and turned to hold Gu Nianzhi's hand. They followed the person into the small building.
After passing through a long corridor, they arrived at the elevator. The person turned around and said, "Mr. Gu's ward has a special elevator that goes directly to his ward. Other elevators can't enter his ward. Come, you guys follow me this way. "
He led them to a small room next to the elevator. Pushing the door open, they discovered that there was another elevator entrance inside!
The person stood directly below the elevator door and looked up at the camera above the elevator door with a smile.
The camera flashed a blue light, and with a click, the elevator door opened.
The person led Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi inside.
So this elevator was identified by the human eye's iris …
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help muttering, "With such a strict security system, the people here really don't know who" Mr. Gu "is?"
The elevator quickly brought them to the door of Gu Xiangwen's ward.
The person knocked on the door and said to the camera at the door, "Someone is here to see Mr. Gu. There's a passport signed by Miss Gu."
The person inside checked Huo Shaoheng's passport again before opening the door to let Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi in.
Huo Shaoheng walked in front, his tall figure completely covering the slender Gu Nianzhi behind him.
Gu Nianzhi, who had been restless the whole time, stared at Huo Shaoheng's back. Her violently beating heart finally calmed down.
"Mr. Gu is here. Do you want to come see him?" Gu Xiangwen's nurse was a chubby black middle-aged woman. Her smile was very simple and amiable.
Gu Nianzhi had a good impression of her, so she became bolder. She walked quickly around Huo Shaoheng to get to Gu Xiangwen's bed first.
In front of her was a custom-made bed covered with equipment.
And in the middle of those instruments of various sizes, there was a skinny man lying on the ground.
Gu Nianzhi had never seen Gu Xiangwen's photo, but she subconsciously thought that he should look similar to her.
She didn't expect that seven years in a vegetative state had tortured Gu Xiangwen beyond recognition. All that was left was a pile of bones.
This was her father?
Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened as she looked at the man lying on the bed. She was extremely shocked …
Was it because Gu Xiangwen was in a vegetative state that no one from the Gu family had looked for Gu Nianzhi for seven years?
Gu Nianzhi looked at him in a daze. Her nose felt a little sore, but she didn't want to cry.
She turned to look at Huo Shaoheng, asking him what to do next with her eyes.
Huo Shaoheng walked over and looked at the vegetative man on the bed thoughtfully. He asked the nurse some questions.
"When did Mr. Gu come to your hospital?"
"Have you been taking care of him all this time?"
"How are his vital signs? Have there been any changes in the past seven years? "
Huo Shaoheng's questions were specifically made up by Chen Lie for people in a vegetative state.
The nurse smiled widely. "He's been in our hospital for more than three years. I heard that he used to be taken care of at home, but his condition worsened and he was sent to the hospital. Yes, I've been taking care of him since he arrived. As for his health, you'll have to ask the doctor. I'm just a nurse. "
Huo Shaoheng nodded. This person's answer was similar to what he'd heard from Gu Yanran, so it shouldn't be false.
Huo Shaoheng asked about the details of Gu Xiangwen's treatment. Finally, he pointed at Gu Nianzhi and said to the nurse and guard, "Thank you for your care. I have an identification signed by the Barbados government to prove that she is Gu Xiangwen's youngest daughter, Gu Nianzhi. According to your hospital's regulations, only immediate family members can discharge Mr. Gu. We're here to discharge him. "
As soon as Huo Shaoheng finished speaking, it was like a signal. Zhao Liangze, who was far away at the Barbados consulate, immediately cut off all the hospital's external communications. From landlines to cell phones, everything crashed due to the sudden data overload.
The Special Operations Forces had their own specialized satellite communication system, so cutting off the hospital's external communications did not affect Huo Shaoheng and the others.
They could still receive all the information from their Bluetooth headsets.
At the same time, all the Special Operations Forces elites in South America were mobilized to control the hospital's external communications.
Meanwhile, Gu Yanran, who had been in contact with the hospital and waiting for Huo Shaoheng's news, suddenly realized that their internet connection to the hospital had been cut off.
