Shen Qingqing found a hidden spot, changed out of her clothes, disguised herself as a boy again, and returned to the hospital with her backpack.
She went to the third floor of the inpatient department. The inpatient department was very lively at this moment. The commotion earlier had woken up all the patients and nurses.
They were all chattering noisily, in complete disarray.
The nurses were busy pacifying them and telling them to go back and rest.
No one noticed a boy wearing a mask and a baseball cap enter the restroom.
When he came out, it was Shen Qingqing.
Her fair fingertips tapped a few times on her phone. The staff monitoring the surveillance noticed the video feed flicker.
He pressed a button with a hint of confusion and switched to another camera. The picture was clear, the recording was normal, and there was no sign of anything unusual.
He shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
Shen Qingqing returned to the ward. Fu Jingshu's gaze immediately darted over, scrutinizing her from head to toe. Seeing that she was completely unharmed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did you see him?"
Shen Qingqing shook her head, took off her backpack, and tossed it under the bed. She whispered, "There was no one in the ward. Father was transferred long ago. I just don't know where Director Liu took him."
She remembered something else.
"That other ward was a sham. It wasn't an intensive care unit at all."
"So, Director Liu was prepared all along," Fu Jingshu's guess became even more certain in his heart. "The person behind this must be Fu Tingyi."
Only he would know them so well.
Shen Qingqing felt a bit regretful. "If we had known this would happen, we should have dealt with him before we left. Then none of this would have happened."
"It's not your fault," Fu Jingshu blamed himself. "If only I had been more vigilant..."
"Oh, it's already happened. There's no point in dwelling on it," Shen Qingqing didn't want to see him blame himself, and waved her hand indifferently. "As long as we're together, we can definitely rescue all our family members."
Fu Jingshu reached out his arm.
Shen Qingqing threw herself into his arms and said, looking up at him, "At least now we know Director Liu transferred father, and we don't have to keep guarding that ward."
"Mm, you've worked hard."
Fu Jingshu lowered his head slightly, intending to kiss her forehead.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
He stopped abruptly, his sharp gaze fixed on the doorway. Before he could speak, the door was pushed open.
A group of men rushed in, wearing white coats, but their expressions were anything but kind. They all looked ferocious.
They scanned the ward and did not start searching. Then, footsteps sounded from the back of the crowd, and they immediately split to the sides.
Director Liu walked in.
"Miss Shen, Mr. Fu, long time no see."
Fu Jingshu's expression was blank.
Shen Qingqing did not reply either.
He was ignored, but Director Liu didn't care. Instead, he looked at Shen Jinxi on the hospital bed. "So, you are this child's parents."
He had heard earlier that a child from a prominent family had been sent to pediatrics. However, since it was a different department, he had never gone to see him.
It was only today, while investigating hospital records and surveillance, that he discovered Shen Qingqing and Fu Jingshu had entered this ward.
Shen Qingqing said faintly, "What do you want?"
Director Liu slowly sized up the room and said lightly, "Nothing much, just a few questions to ask."
"Are you the police?" Shen Qingqing retorted.
Director Liu was momentarily stumped. "Of course I'm not the police. It's just that someone trespassed into my patient's room just now, and this person has now escaped. I want to search around, in case it's some villain. If we catch him, we can send him to the police station."
Shen Qingqing said, "Oh, but you won't find him here. There have only ever been the three of us here, no one else."
"We'll see," Director Liu didn't believe her.
Shen Qingqing sighed. "Director Liu, your hospital has regulations. Medical staff are not allowed to disturb patients' rest. My son is currently recuperating, and your arrival has already affected us."
Director Liu chuckled. "I apologize, but I hope you can understand that we are also doing this for the safety of other patients."
"Then you should find professionals," Shen Qingqing took out her phone from her pocket. "How about this, I'll call the police for you, and let the police find them."
Director Liu stared at her, his gaze sinister.
Fu Jingshu shielded her behind him, his cold eyes sharp. "What's with that look?"
Director Liu was intimidated by his presence and fell silent for a moment. His tone then softened. "I didn't mean anything by it. I just want to check. I'm also doing this for your own good. After all, someone breaking into the hospital is not safe for you either."
Shen Qingqing said faintly, "There have only ever been the three of us in this room. There will be no danger."
"Everyone says there's no danger," Director Liu insisted. "But as medical workers in the hospital, we are responsible for your safety and that of the patients."
As he spoke, he walked towards the hospital bed.
Shen Qingqing blocked him directly. "Can't you see the child is sleeping right now?"
"I won't disturb him."
"That won't do!" Shen Qingqing subtly blocked the backpack under the bed and said sternly, "My son is resting now, you cannot approach. If it affects his recovery, you cannot bear the responsibility!"
Director Liu was not giving up. "I'll just take a quick look!"
"Don't force me to call the police," Shen Qingqing said coldly.
Director Liu had no choice. Searching a hospital ward with people was already unreasonable. If the patient's family was easy to fool, it would be simpler.
But for someone as stubborn as this, he had no recourse.
Finally, he led the men away.
Shen Qingqing closed the door and looked at Fu Jingshu. "I didn't expect him to actually dare to come to this ward."
Fu Jingshu pulled her closer and casually locked the door. "He's already become so audacious that there's nothing he wouldn't do."
Shen Qingqing sighed. "Where do you think father is now?"
Fu Jingshu shook his head.
Shen Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "We won't get anything out of Director Liu, and it will alert the enemy. How about we find another way?"
"What do you plan to do?"
Shen Qingqing pondered. "Since all of this was done by Fu Tingyi, we just need to force him out."
Fu Jingshu sneered. "He's a turtle hiding in his shell. I haven't seen him since I went to the company. When I asked his assistant, the assistant said that although he has taken over the company, he hasn't appeared at the company for three days, and he contacts them by phone."
"He's quite cautious," Shen Qingqing laughed in exasperation. "If he had used that brain of his for something legitimate, he wouldn't have to be snatching other people's companies now."
