The woman nicknamed Scorpion smiled coldly and said, "Tell her to prepare the two million now. I'm taking it." She hung up the phone and walked up the stairs without hesitation into the lobby of the inpatient department.
Two minutes later, Scorpion found her way to the door of a nurse's locker room on the third floor.
The third floor of the hospital's inpatient building was not the inpatient area, but the rehabilitation center. It was midnight, so there were no medical staff, patients, or family members. Two-thirds of the lights in the corridor were off, and only a light was on at intervals, making the corridor dim and obscure. The nurse's locker room was located in a small corridor inside the main corridor. Even the lights were off, making it even more dark and secluded.
Scorpion stood in front of the locker room and listened for a while. After confirming that there was no one around, she took out a small box from her carry-on bag and took out two lockpicking tools from the box. Then, she put the box back into the bag and used the tools to pry the keyhole. She reached out and gently twisted the doorknob, and the door slowly opened.
Scorpion put away his lockpicking tools and pushed the door open halfway. He was not in a hurry to enter the house. Instead, he took out a small flashlight and shone it inside. After confirming that there was no one, he stepped in and closed the door behind him.
A few minutes later, a nurse came out. Her long hair was tied up behind her head, and she wore a nurse's cap on her head. Her face was covered with a mask, and only her eyebrows were exposed. She was wearing a standard nurse's uniform, and even her feet were wearing nurse's sandals. She was even holding a medical tray in her hand. Other than iodophor and other disinfectants, there was also a small syringe with five milliliters of a transparent, colorless liquid in it. Based on her attire, anyone would think that she was a nurse. However, her sharp and cold eyes always showed that she was still that Poison Scorpion.
After Scorpion walked out of the locker room, she turned out of the small corridor and went around the main corridor. She returned to the elevator lobby and pressed the up button. When the elevator door opened, she walked in and pressed the button for the sixth floor where the ICU ward was located.
Ding! The elevator bell rang, and the elevator door opened on the sixth floor.
Scorpion stepped out of the elevator and walked to the left. She had already snooped on the sixth floor and knew that the ICU ward was in the corridor on the left of the elevator lobby, so she walked there with ease.
"Hurry up …"
"Steady him!"
Scorpion had just walked out of the elevator lobby and stood in the corridor on the left when he saw two medical staff from the ICU rushing over with a hospital bed. Lin Xiaomei and the other two hurriedly followed behind them. When she saw this scene, her pupils contracted slightly and her expression changed. Fortunately, her face was covered by a mask, so she was not afraid of being seen. She quickly moved aside.
The hospital bed flashed in front of him and Scorpion could clearly see Li Shanjing lying on it. His eyes were closed and his face was pale. There was a bottle of medicine hanging on the shelf beside the bed. Her brows furrowed slightly as she pondered over the changes revealed by the scene before her.
The medical staff pushing the bed and the two girls, Li Rui and Lin Xiaomei, all treated Scorpion as a real nurse. None of them looked at her and walked past her one after another.
A male doctor followed at the very back. He followed at a moderate pace. The male doctor was Li Shanjing's attending doctor, the one in the white coat from before.
Scorpion waited for Li Shanjing and the rest to turn into the elevator lobby. When she saw the male doctor approaching, she opened her mouth and asked, "What's going on?"
She spoke in Cantonese, but the male doctor was not from Cantonese and could not understand her at all. He bitterly smiled. "Can you speak Mandarin?"
Scorpion asked again in Mandarin.
The male doctor casually replied, "The patient needs …" When he said those words, he suddenly thought of something and changed his words. "The patient's condition is complicated, and our hospital can't handle it. Hence, he needs to be transferred to another hospital."
Scorpion then asked in a curious and harmless tone, "Where do you intend to transfer to?"
The male doctor replied, "Peking University Hospital." When he finished speaking, he ignored Scorpion and walked to the on-call room.
Many people did not know that the medical standards in Shenzhen were not very good. It was unlike its economic strength, which could be compared to Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. Its medical standards could not even be compared to Guangzhou City. There were not many good tertiary Grade A hospitals in the city. This could be seen from the name of the hospital that was ranked the best. The top tertiary Grade A hospital in Shenzhen was called Peking University, Shenzhen Hospital. Although there was the prominent name "Peking University" in the name, it could not hide the awkward nature of this hospital. It sounded like a branch of Peking University Hospital in Shenzhen, but in fact, it was similar in nature. In an international metropolis like Shenzhen, which could be ranked as one of the top hospitals in the country, the top hospital was actually a branch of a certain hospital. This showed the overall medical standards of Shenzhen.
But then again, Peking University Hospital was still the best hospital in Shenzhen, so Li Shanjing's transfer destination was this hospital.
Scorpion hesitated for a moment. Two cold rays of light shot out from her eyes. She took small steps and ran to the nearest stairwell.
Three minutes later, Scorpion had changed back into her clothes and returned to the fresh and cold image of a woman in a dress. She was still carrying the medical tray and hurrying out of the inpatient department building. She planned to go to the roadside not far from the emergency building to pick up her car. When she came, she did not park her car in the underground parking lot downstairs for convenience. She casually parked her car on the side of the road where it was not in the way. Anyway, it was already late at night, and the hospital parking lot security would not care.
Just as she was about to go down the stairs, Scorpion suddenly saw an ambulance at the end of the side aisle. Lin Xiaomei and the others, who she saw just now, were also gathered at the back of the ambulance. She turned around and saw a few medical staff moving Li Shanjing's bed into the ambulance.
Scorpion was overjoyed when she saw this scene. She was worried when she was changing clothes just now. Li Shanjing's transfer speed was too fast. By the time she was done changing, he would have already taken the ambulance to Peking University Hospital. Although she knew the way to Peking University Hospital, Peking University Hospital was too big. If she did not follow the ambulance, it might cause her to lose track of it for a short period of time. She would also have to spend time asking around when she arrived. Now that she saw that Li Shanjing's ambulance had not left yet and she still had time to follow it, she was naturally very happy.
She retracted her gaze and walked quickly to the parking lot. She planned to wait in the car. After Li Shanjing's ambulance left, she would follow him all the way to Peking University Hospital's emergency room. As for whether this would expose her identity, she was not worried at all. She was extremely confident in her methods. She felt that Li Shanjing still did not know that he had fallen into her trap. He might even have forgotten that she was the woman who had accidentally "bumped into" him. Moreover, he was unconscious now. How could he recognize that she was following behind him?
She did not know that she did not have to be in such a hurry at all. In Li Rui's plan, Li Shanjing's transfer process had to be as popular as possible. He had to stay in the inpatient department for as long as possible to attract the attention of the female killer. If not, Li Shanjing would have been sent away in the ambulance long ago. Why would he wait for Scorpion to finish changing and come down? In fact, after Li Shanjing, who had pretended to be unconscious, was carried into the ambulance, he had to stay for another five minutes. These five minutes were left for Li Rui and Lin Xiaomei to "swagger around" outside.
Li Rui had already considered that since Li Shanjing was injected with fentanyl by the female killer after he had left the clubhouse, the female killer must have noticed him when she was lurking at the entrance. She must have followed them to the clubhouse and the hospital, so she must have seen Lin Xiaomei, the superstar. Therefore, even if Li Shanjing was sent into the ambulance, the female killer could not see him. She could infer his location based on his and Lin Xiaomei's position. Therefore, he deliberately left five minutes for the female killer to locate Li Shanjing so that she could accurately locate him when she found out that Li Shanjing was about to be transferred to another hospital but could not see him.
Of course, Li Rui did not know that Scorpion, who had just pretended to be a nurse, had already found out about the details of Li Shanjing's transfer and made changes to his plan. Waiting for another five minutes would be a waste of time.
However, to be honest, Li Rui's five-minute redundant arrangement was not meaningless because he had other plans.
After waiting for two minutes, Li Rui received a call from Mina. He heard her say, "Brother Li, I'm already at the entrance of the hospital and I'm ready. As soon as the ambulance leaves, I'll monitor every car that follows it. Is that right?"
Li Rui said, "Yes, that's right. After the ambulance leaves and you see the first private car, call me and tell me the model and color of every car. The time limit is three minutes. Ignore the cars that are not within three minutes."
Mina asked curiously, "But what if there are no cars following the ambulance?"
Li Rui said, "Then it will prove that the female killer did not follow the ambulance to the hospital in the beginning. That will save us a lot of trouble. Of course, it will be difficult for Li Shanjing to catch her. By the time he calls the police and the police start to investigate from the clubhouse, she may have already run away. But that's none of our business. Our mission today is to protect Li Shanjing's personal safety and not let him get killed around us. Otherwise, we can't escape the responsibility. "
