Hao Ren received a message from Hao Xinyuan that they were returning to the Jade Capital apartment. The young man was not worried of anything at the moment. Even if the trio ran into Han Lingshi, she won't just make them stand outside. Han Lingshi was cold to people but she was not without empathy.
The young man went to sleep with a peaceful smile on his face while someone else was facing a storm. Harvey Skye was one of the scouts and he worked on the same level as the people who had gone to capture the old couple. Hao Ren did not know this but he made a smart guess, that since Harvey Skye had come to probe him, and the people also surrounded his parents, they must be connected.
The reason for this sudden investigation could be how he handled the terrorists, and also, his rise in business. Cultivators had an intelligence higher than the normal people. At least that's what Hao Ren thought.
...
After Tim and his team did not check in, Harvey Skye was alerted, and he was given twenty four hours to report the status. Since the target involved could possibly be a strong group of cultivators, the DEHB did not make any hasty move that might startle the people.
Harvey Skye left home and tried his best to find the clue about the team. After the team left the market with Hao Xinyuan and Tang Zen, they seemed to have vanished from the surface of the planet. The man could not put things together because he could not understand how this was possible. The only reason he could come up with was a concealment formation.
He used a detection talisman to search through multiple numbers of routes, but nothing turned up. Harvey Skye was frustrated, and then he took out his phone as he asked, "Where is Hao Ren?"
On the screen, the monitoring system showed that Hao Ren was sleeping. He checked through the footage of the CCTV and the hidden cameras. He found that the only activity where he left the suite was when he went to the gym. He even went through the conversations of the young couple but found nothing suspicious.
In the end, the sun had just came up and Harvey Skye took a deep breath to calm his mind. He sat down to meditate and think about what could have happened. This was not the first time a target and a team had gone missing.
...
Hao Ren woke up and freshened up after going to the gym. The guards were impressed about how disciplined their boss was. The young man called the two assistants and said, "I wish to visit the Meridian First Hospital and make a fifty million yuan donation for the terminal wing. Contact the people who call the shots there, I want to take a tour of the place before giving them the money.
Also, Roy, I want you to run a background checks on all these shot callers. I want to see if they are worthy of the white coats."
Joe and Roy were surprised by this sudden decision but they nodded and left the place quickly. The guards watched Hao Ren go through his basic weight training, before he asked one of them to spar with him. The people here were all retired special forces and even if they had medical reasons, they could still overpower a normal person.
However, Hao Ren gave them a shock, the young man was so quick that even after the two of them broke out in sweat they could not touch him. After he was finished, Hao Ren took a shower and dressed up. It was eleven in the morning, the young man left the hotel with his assistants.
Roy sat in the back and Joe took the passenger seat. The former said, "I swear these people sure are pretentious."
Hao Ren raised his brows and asked, "What do you mean?"
Roy replied, "The hospital is ran by Director Miya Tobirama, he is also the Chief of Neuro Surgery. His record is impeccable, never failed in a surgery."
Joe asked, "What makes him pretentious?"
Roy replied in an irritated tone, "He never took on any cases that had complications. He always handled the easy in and easy out cases. On the other hand, there is a lady in there staff, she is called Marina Greene, she has a fifty fifty record, because out of the hundred cases she handled till date, many had complications. She only joined this hospital three months ago.
All her life she has been working in the remote areas and trying to save as many people as she could."
He took out a digital version of his Junior Apprentice License. This shocked Miya Tobirama, he did not expect this rich businessman to be someone who had medical knowledge. He took a deep breath and said, "Please, it would be nice if you could meet the patients."
Following that, Miya Tobirama assigned a few doctors come over and introduce Hao Ren to the patients. The young man found that most of the cases here were the ones that could not be treated and were seeking care in their last few days.
The young man took a deep breath at the situation and finally he asked what he had come here for, "I wonder if there are any children suffering from such a condition in this place."
The doctor beside him said, "Unfortunately, Lilac has been laying in the bed for quite a long time."
Hao Ren pretended to be surprised and even asked what was going on here. The doctors all turned to look at a lady who looked pretty haggard after all her hard work at the hospital. Miya Tobirama said, "This is Doctor Greene, she has been looking after Young Lilac."
Hao Ren nodded and asked, "Doctor Greene may I see her medical record?"
Doctor Greene was surprised and she brought up all the details on her tab and passed it to Hao Ren. The young man read a few things before he exclaimed, "Is she the daughter of Harvey Skye, the officer in the Business Association?"
Miya Tobirama was confused but Marina Greene replied, "Yes, Mister Hao, he is the same person."
Hao Ren unveiled a shocked expression and then pity as he spoke in a lamenting manner, "I met him yesterday only. To think he has been holding up in such a terrible situation."
The people nodded, and Marina mentioned that Harvey would visit Lilac every other day, and his wife has been practically living in the hospital. Hao Ren was surprised and asked, "Do you mean I can meet Mrs. Skye?"
Marina nodded and then she brought him to the ward where Lilac was admitted. As the presiding doctor, Marina went inside first and then she called Hao Ren inside. The young man walked inside a simple single patient ward.
He first nodded to the beautiful middle-aged lady standing beside the bed, and then he gazed at the pale and skinny young lady laying on the bed with various sensors and tubes attached to her body.
Hao Ren approached the lady in the room and with both hands placed before his chest he said, "Greetings, Mrs. Skye. I am Hao Ren, I came to the hospital to make some donations when I heard about the plight of your daughter. It pains one a lot to see something like this. I apologize if I am causing you any inconvenience."
The lady shook her head and said, "It is a good thing that you are making a donation for a good cause, Mister Hao. My name is Vivian."
Hao Ren nodded, and asked her a few trivial questions about her daughter. Then he asked, "Are you a home-maker?"
Vivian shook her head and replied, "No, I used to work along with my husband but after this incident with Lilac, I decided to take some time off to look after her."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "It just so happens that I have something to discuss with Mister Skye. How about we call him here? I am sure this is the best place for this issue."
Vivian was surprised but then Hao Ren took out his phone and dialed Harvey Skye's number. The call was connected after a few minutes and Hao Ren said, "Mister Skye, this is Hao Ren, we met yesterday, do you recall?"
The man on the other side responded with a cold yes, and Hao Ren said, "At the moment, I am standing in the Terminal Neural Care Ward of the First hospital with your wife and the presiding Doctor Miss Greene. Would you like to come over? I have something to discuss with you?"
He did not beat around the bush and stabbed Harvey right where he knew it would hurt a lot. Harvey Skye accepted, "I will be there in a bit, but I hope you know, for your sake, what you are doing."
