Chapter 44: Black factory
The sea on a sunny day is romantically healing, but in a storm, it becomes dangerous and terrifying. Heavy dark clouds squeezed the living space of this city, obscuring skyscrapers and the sea alike, as the unfathomable waters devoured the hulls of massive ships—everything lost its original color. Wen Jiaojiao, with her driver, had left the harbor. Calculating the time, she should have arrived at the hospital by now, and the boy would have left as well.
「...」
Wen Jiaojiao walked into the hospital, heading straight to the top floor. The first thing she saw were streaks of blood on the floor that hadn’t been fully cleaned. Her body swayed, and before she even reached the emergency room, she suddenly stepped back. She closed her eyes, hesitant to move forward. The April wind carried the mixed scent of rain and blood, making her both more alert and heartsick. The lights of the emergency room never went out. Wen Jiaojiao, distraught, sat outside the door, relentlessly questioning Anshi, who had just emerged from the consultation room.
"What happened with all this blood? I heard there was an assassination attempt? How did Asi get injured, and how serious is it? Is her life in danger?"
"Miss Wen, don’t worry. The young lady is still alive. She was ambushed in her car..."
Wen Jiaojiao’s eyes widened. "How is that possible? She’s into racing."
Anshi, half of his arm bruised and scraped, stammered out the events. A few days ago, Xu Si had sincerely closed down the Chengpin Mall to buy time for Pei Zhen to leave Hong Kong Island. However, this move seemed to have touched upon the factory’s secrets, as people began constantly entering and exiting the abandoned facility. The investigators Xu Si sent were very professional. Taking advantage of the frequent comings and goings, they indeed captured quite a lot of critical evidence.
「Until this afternoon.」
