Chapter 341: This Mind
“Check it out, the hostage is here!”
Luo Feifan yawns, leans against the wall, and gestures with his thumb behind him. Zhan Lian immediately jumps up to the wall and sees the empty, moonlit street. A woman is pushing a wheelchair with Doctor Zhao sitting in it. The two of them are slowly heading in the direction of the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital.
Zhan Lian glances at Luo Feifan, who smiles and says, "The news leaks out. Lei Jiang’s a smart man. The hostage isn’t in the Grain Bureau."
This means that Lei Jiang is definitely not in the Grain Bureau either.
What Luo Feifan implies is that the hostage has actually been released by Lei Jiang, meaning Lei Jiang must have escaped long ago.
Of course, Zhan Lian and Luo Feifan’s mission is twofold: first, to kill Lei Jiang, and second, to rescue the hostage. Only An Ran knows that Zhan Lian has mentioned the plan to seize the hostage; no one else is aware of the operation.
An Ran will never betray Zhan Lian, and neither will Luo Feifan. Lei Jiang, being as sharp as he is, has deduced that Zhan Lian would have used force if he hadn’t relented. So, Lei Jiang has taken the initiative to release the hostage and then slips away.
The decision to release the hostage is intriguing. Lei Jiang must have realized that if he doesn’t release her, Zhan Lian will relentlessly pursue him. But once the hostage is freed, Zhan Lian will have already achieved part of his goal and will be less likely to keep chasing after Lei Jiang.
In conclusion, Lei Jiang deserves to be the top player in the third district. With such a mentality, he could have done something great, but instead, he covets Zhan Lian’s wife. Doesn’t he know how many wood-type ability users Tang Jianjun has under his control?
Meanwhile, in the hospital, An Ran remains unaware of what has transpired outside. She is still pondering why Zhan Lian has been so harsh with her earlier when she suddenly hears a faint noise from downstairs.
An Ran quickly sits up, walks out of the ward, and leans against the stair railing to look down.
Dozens of men sit in the candlelit outpatient hall on the first floor. A slender woman, dressed in short-sleeved shirts and long pants, stands outside the door, pushing a wheelchair. Doctor Zhao is sitting in the chair.
The woman’s face isn’t visible, as she stands with her back to the light, her features shadowed, but her posture is straight and strong. The way she is dressed—wearing short sleeves in the apocalypse—indicates that she isn’t an ordinary woman.
Luo Feifan comes up from the front entrance, greets the woman and Dr. Zhao, and chats briefly with Dr. Zhao. He then arranges for both of them to be given a room to stay in. Zhan Lian also enters through the front door, silently observing Dr. Zhao and the woman from one side.
Everything appears to be going unusually smoothly.
As Luo Feifan escorts the woman and Doctor Zhao upstairs, Zhan Lian follows behind and comes to An Ran’s side.
After Luo Feifan leads the woman and Dr. Zhao upstairs, Zhan Lian follows behind them. They reach the second floor, where An Ran stands by the stairs, her body straightened. She quietly watches as Dr. Zhao and Zhao Ru come up. At first, she hasn’t recognized the woman pushing Dr. Zhao, but when they reach the hallway, An Ran sees clearly—it is Zhao Ru.
What is the relationship between Zhao Ru and Zhao Qianrong? Isn’t Dr. Zhao supposed to have been taken by Lei Jiang? Earlier, Zhou Xiang, one of Lei Jiang’s subordinates, said he would join forces with Zhan Lian, or else he would hold onto Zhao Qianrong. Now, Zhao Ru is pushing Zhao Qianrong—what is going on?
