"Su Kangxi said the informant was you!" Xiao Anjing walked up to him, his emotions a jumble. Looking at him, he said, "What exactly are you doing? Why are you in the room right below Susu's? You've been by her side all along, but you haven't shown yourself or let us find you. You..."
His voice grew louder as he spoke, until he couldn't continue.
"Stop talking, keep your voice down," Qin Tianyi lowered his voice, fixing him with a warning gaze.
Xiao Anjing said, not understanding, "What are you doing this for? Making yourself neither human nor ghost, being so close to your wife and children but unable to acknowledge them! Do you know how adorable the twins Susu just gave birth to are? Don't you want to be by their side..."
"Xiao Anjing!" Qin Tianyi grabbed his collar and said, "What's wrong with you? Others might not know, but don't you know me? Hurry up and take Susu away while the inpatient department is in chaos!"
Xiao Anjing pushed him away, his heart full of anger. "I don't know! I think you've been brainwashed by that police officer! All I know is you're throwing away a good life, why do you have to risk it like this?"
"Do you think I have nothing better to do! Don't you know how I was blown off the speedboat? How Susu's room just caught fire!" As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where is the female police officer Kangxi sent to impersonate Susu?"
"She's dead. She was strangled before the fire," Xiao Anjing said somberly.
"Desperate criminals, a group of terrifying desperate criminals!" Qin Tianyi said. "Do you think that if we don't catch them all, Susu and I will have a good life? And the speedboat driver, the female police officer who just died... can we just stand by and let these innocent people continue to be harmed!"
Xiao Anjing could no longer be angry, and he knew Qin Tianyi was making sense. But Qin Tianyi was also his brother. The thought of Qin Tianyi being in constant danger made him feel unbearable pity.
Qin Tianyi emphasized again, "As long as they want to get rid of Susu and me, innocent people will continue to be implicated. We've come this far, I can only continue. Do you understand?"
"Alright, stop talking. Go get me a doctor's white coat, I'll take Susu away," Xiao Anjing said, taking a deep breath. His eyes were already red.
Qin Tianyi nodded slightly, immediately opened the ward door a crack, and went to get the clothes.
He quickly returned with a doctor's white coat and handed it to Xiao Anjing. "The entire inpatient department is in chaos, and the mothers and babies on the fifth floor are being evacuated. You should hurry and take Susu away now."
Xiao Anjing put on the white coat and asked, "Are the newborn babies in danger? And where are Hengheng and Tiantian?"
"No, Kangxi sent people to protect them specifically. Kangxi's people should be evacuating with them now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sounds of fire trucks and police cars echoed from outside.
He anxiously pushed Xiao Anjing and said, "Hurry!"
Xiao Anjing scooped up the still unconscious Susu, his eyes slightly moist. He said to him, "There's a car waiting for us in the parking lot downstairs. Don't worry, take care of yourself."
He no longer lingered, carrying Susu, whose face was half-hidden by her hair, out of his ward. He blended into the crowd of people evacuating the inpatient department, saying, "Make way, she was overcome by smoke and needs urgent medical attention!"
The crowd ahead made way for him. After carrying Susu to the first floor, he left through the pre-planned back door, where the car he had arranged was waiting for them.
He got Susu into the car unnoticed and ordered the driver, "Hurry, someone will open the side gate."
The route for discreetly transferring Susu had been planned by him and Su Kangxi. Fortunately, they encountered no obstacles during the chaos in the inpatient department.
After they left, Qin Tianyi sat alone on the hospital bed, somewhat confused as to why someone had acted before him.
He and the people Lu Yuanhong sent were supposed to act tomorrow, and Su Kangxi had also told him that Susu would be transferred elsewhere tonight.
He had prepared a rope earlier, intending to climb up to see if Susu had been transferred. If she hadn't, he could at least take one last look at her and test whether the metal fitting on the window could be secured with the rope.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he climbed the stairs to the fire escape, he saw thick smoke. It wasn't as obvious in the dark as it was during the day. He then saw someone hanging outside the window, and the vague silhouette seemed to be Susu, so he rushed to help her.
This turned out to be a fortunate coincidence, helping Xiao Anjing and Susu escape the fire. Fortunately, their plan proceeded as scheduled.
He received a message on his phone from Su Kangxi: "What's going on? Why did Sister Susu's room catch fire? Why didn't you notify me if you acted early?"
"It wasn't me. There are other assassins in this hospital. Susu and Xiao Anjing are fine, but the female police officer you sent is dead," Qin Tianyi replied briefly.
He waited for a while, but received no reply.
Qin Tianyi sent another message: "The fire in this hospital is probably all over the news now. I need to swap my SIM card. We'll talk more when we meet. Don't announce the identity of that female police officer for now. Let them think they succeeded and that the person who died was Susu."
After sending the message, he immediately deleted all information on his phone and swapped the SIM card, thinking that Su Kangxi must be unable to accept the death of his colleague at this moment.
A little later, Lu Yuanhong indeed called his phone and asked, "A Ban, where are you?"
"I've been in my ward the whole time, preparing for tomorrow's operation," Qin Tianyi replied, pretending to know nothing.
"Don't you know the inpatient department where you are caught fire and people died?" Lu Yuanhong asked.
Qin Tianyi said, "Yes, I heard someone shouting about a fire earlier. I also saw fire trucks and police cars downstairs. But I didn't know anyone died. I kept my door closed and didn't leave my ward."
"Oh, you should check out tomorrow morning and come back. There's no need for you to act anymore," Lu Yuanhong instructed.
Qin Tianyi said with reluctance, "But I've prepared everything, the rope, the anesthetic..."
"Just come back when I tell you to," Lu Yuanhong hung up.
Qin Tianyi was completely relieved. It seemed they thought Susu had been dealt with and didn't need his action, which also meant Susu was safe?
Just then, someone knocked on the door and said, "Is anyone inside? Why haven't you evacuated yet?"
Qin Tianyi recognized the voice as Su Kangxi's. He rubbed his hair, pretending to have just woken up, and went to open the door. "I was sleeping soundly just now. Evacuate what?"
Su Kangxi, dressed in police uniform, said in a businesslike manner, "There was a fire on the fifth floor. The hospital requires all patients in the inpatient department to evacuate. Didn't you know?"
"Ah, no, I was asleep."
"You must have slept very soundly," Su Kangxi said in a tone of police suspicion. "May I take a look inside your ward?"
"Feel free," Qin Tianyi said, opening the ward door wide for him.
Su Kangxi entered the ward and then lowered his voice to ask, "What exactly happened? And who is the other assassin?"
