Immediately the team members reported to Quan Shaoteng.

“The hospital is evacuating.”

“The fire engine has arrived at the hospital…”

“The access route for the firefighters is being blocked, d*mn it.”

Interesting.

The access route got blocked as soon as there was a fire.

“Captain Quan, the fire’s spreading. Do we have to join in the rescue efforts?”

A team member asked anxiously.

But he got berated by Quan Shaoteng instead.

“Firefighting will be taken care of the firefighters! One of you stay behind to observe the situation! Wei Bin, lead the rest out of the hospital!”

“Yes!”

…

Mei Xin had been waiting nervously.

When she saw Quan Shaoteng entering the ward, she immediately asked a question. “Do we need to evacuate?”

“Wait for further orders!”

This would really depend on how bad the fire would be, as well as how the firefighters would handle the situation…

Quan Shaoteng watched the billowing smoke mixed with flames outside the window. After that, he noticed several medical staff running over in a hurry.

“Attention everyone! Prepare to evacuate the patients!”

“We received notice that everyone has to evacuate from the hospital…”

Their shouts instantly caused panic in the patients and staff on that entire floor.

This hospital was very popular amongst the civilians. Hence, besides the medical staff and patients, there were also some family members and specially employed care workers… Heads poked out of the wards to check out what was going on when the medical staff shouted for everyone to evacuate. They had heard the siren of the fire engine earlier and they also bore the same thought that Mei Xin had asked Quan Shaoteng earlier.

Should they evacuate?

Evacuating patients was the most troublesome.

Patients on that floor were generally people who had more serious cases of illness. Without the go-ahead of the attending doctor or nurse, nobody dared to move them out.

Now, everyone started to get nervous.

Someone along the corridor asked, “Our building is not on fire. Why do we still need to evacuate?”

The medical staff responded quickly, “We’re worried that the fire might spread!”

“It’s quite a distance away,” remarked another, “it can’t spread here in such a short time.”

The medical staff persuaded, “All of you are not afraid that the fire might really spread? Hurry up and don’t waste any more time!”

When a fire broke out, people were generally worried. When the medical staff shouted to get everyone to evacuate, who would dare to stay behind? In almost an instant, everyone frantically picked their important things and started to move out of their wards. With the help and guidance of the medical staff, everyone started to make their way down in an orderly fashion.

Quan Shaoteng gritted his teeth. “This is really ‘awesome’!”

Mei Xin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. “What should we do?”

Before Quan Shaoteng could answer her, a nurse came over to them. “Why are you both still in a daze? Hurry up and help evacuate the patient downstairs…”

After that, the nurse left.

Only the department head and above knew about Quan Shaoteng and Mei Xin’s real identity. Ordinary medical staff only knew that they were their new colleagues. Moreover, that ward was personally handled by their Department Head, Director Ye.

In the eyes of others, the patient in this ward should be someone “special”. The police were the ones who sent them this special patient. They heard that she should be the murderer behind the recent ‘zombie’ cases. She was in a critical condition and only woke up two days ago. Director Ye specially ordered that besides the personnel he had assigned to the ward, nobody could approach the patient without his approval.

Of course, they wouldn’t dare and wouldn’t want to get near either.

Who would want to go near to a ‘murderer’?

Hence, no one else knew about the actual condition of the patient.

But now that a fire broke up, if they evacuate Cui Jiaying, wouldn’t that mean their lie would be exposed?

Cui Jiaying had not woken up at all. She was kept alive by life support this entire time. How was it possible for her to move and evacuate normally like a person who was already awake?

Mei Xin started to become anxious. “What should we do? Say something!”

Quan Shaoteng snorted, “Easy!”

Mei Xin looked at him in confusion.

Her face was filled with questions but Quan Shaoteng didn’t want to waste time explaining. He quickly pushed her inside the ward and gave her a set of patient clothes. “Change into this!”

Mei Xin: “Ah?”

She held the patient clothes with a puzzled expression.

“Since they sent a fake Xuan Yue to toy around with us,” said Quan Shaoteng, “can’t we fool them with a fake Cui Jiaying?”

At this time, Bai Muchuan was still on the way to the hospital and everyone was evacuating the hospital due to the fire. If they didn’t do anything, it was too easy to arouse suspicions.

But… how should they evacuate?

This was what Quan Shaoteng had come up with.

He stared at Mei Xin. “Hurry up!”

Mei Xin took a glance at him and hugged the clothes to her chest. “You should go out while I change!”

Quan Shaoteng: “…”

“What are you afraid of? You’re wearing clothes underneath. It’s not like you’re not wearing anything inside.” He grunted and walked out quickly, closed the door and observed the situation.

At this moment, the entire building was in the state of evacuation. Sounds of footsteps were everywhere.

Amongst the dispersing crowd, Cheng Zheng and Miao Zichen hurried over to him. “How is it?”

They were not far away when they received news about the fire at the hospital and quickly rushed back.

Quan Shaoteng was glad to see them. “You’ve come at the right time! Hurry up and get a hospital stretcher!”

A stretcher?

Cheng Zheng and Miao Zichen didn’t really understand what he meant. But this was an emergency situation, so they listened to him.

Quan Shaoteng then knocked on the door of the ward gently. “Done?”

“Come in!” It was Mei Xin’s voice.

Quan Shaoteng entered the ward. Mei Xin was ready—she was dressed up as a patient now.

After changing into the set of patient clothing, she also tied up her hair carefully. That pale look of hers really did fit the image of a patient.

Of course, this was not enough.

Quan Shaoteng looked at Cheng Zheng. “Quick, help to make her look like Cui Jiaying! We don’t have much time. Hurry!”

By saying that, it was now clear to them what Quan Shaoteng wanted to do. Cheng Zheng quickly got Mei Xin to sit down and quickly helped to bandage Mei Xin’s head so as to look the same as Cui Jiaying. Miao Zichen also helped to secure the IV drip on Mei Xin and carried the drip. After that, Mei Xin climbed up onto the stretcher and they started to wheel her out.

While Cheng Zheng walked past Quan Shaoteng, he had a momentary pause. “What about her?”

He was referring to Cui Jiaying.

Quan Shaoteng sat on a chair. “I’ll guard her! Go quickly!”

Cheng Zheng took a look at Cui Jiaying. “It might not be safe here.”

“Don’t worry,” assured Quan Shaoteng, “the fire’s not in this building. Besides, the firefighters are already here. The fire should be put out in no time!”

Cheng Zheng: “Fine then!”

“Watch out for danger too!” Quan Shaoteng warned, “you guys might become the target!”

Cheng Zheng nodded his head and left quickly, leaving Quan Shaoteng alone in the ward.

The latter then ordered several of his team members to provide protection to Cheng Zheng’s team. At the same time, he urged the rest of the members to pay close attention to any suspicious characters.

After that, he looked at Cui Jiaying, who was still in a coma, quietly.

The commotion outside the ward started to die down.

All those that had to be evacuated had gotten out of the hospital.

The whole building was quiet, leaving only dead silence.

Their original plan was to wait and see if anyone would come to that ward…

He hoped that the Dark Clan would really walk into their trap.
