296 The Person Ran Away

“Eh? What bad news?” Jiang Tong asked.

Sister-in-law, that…” Zhou Mingfei did not manage to finish his sentence. He was not in the right state of mind. It was as if he had done something wrong but could not say it. Zhou Mingfei, who was known as City Z’s Young Master Zhou, was probably the only person in City Z who would have such a mental state toward Zhou Jingyun. If it was anyone else, even if Zhou Mingfei had done something wrong, he would have just said it. He was in a hurry to say it previously, but now he was stuck. Zhou Mingfei obviously felt that he couldn’t say it directly and was considering how to phrase his words.

Jiang Tong heard Zhou Mingfei’s hesitant voice on the phone and sat up. She turned her head to look out the window and thought for a moment. Then, she asked, “Did Old Ghost run away?”

“Ah, Sister-in-law, how did you know?” Even Zhou Mingfei was shocked. This had happened not long ago, and Zhou Mingfei had only just found out about it. Jiang Tong couldn’t have known about it before he did. After all, the people guarding the hospital were his men. He felt that Jiang Tong had guessed it. How could she have guessed it?

Of course, Jiang Tong didn’t make a random guess. She just made a simple deduction. At present, this was the only thing she could think of and it was about Old Ghost! Jiang Tong had just told Zhou Mingfei about Old Ghost’s importance yesterday, and Zhou Mingfei understood it very well. This morning, Jiang Tong had even called Zhou Mingfei and asked him about the time to visit Old Ghost at the hospital. Jiang Tong knew Old Ghost very well. Old Ghost had lost a lot of blood yesterday. Although he had been rescued in time, it was inevitable that he would be weak. Moreover, the wound had not healed. It had only been stitched up. As long as he moved, the pain would be a small matter. The wound could tear open and bleed. That would be life-threatening. Old Ghost had only rested for a day and a night. With that kind of injury, if it were anyone else, it would be difficult even to sit up. The anesthetic had worn off, and it would be painful!

But Old Ghost was the embodiment of the man of steel! Moreover, his ability was trained through life and death, and the path he took was very bizarre. As long as one let down their guard against him, he would be able to seize the opportunity! Although Zhou Mingfei’s bodyguards were all elites, it was obvious that they would not be very vigilant against someone who was so heavily injured. It was Zhou Mingfei’s duty to ensure that Old Ghost did not run away and that nothing happened to Old Ghost. Now that the person had run away, it was his responsibility. Therefore, Zhou Mingfei felt that it would be difficult to explain this matter. But it was not just that…

“Sister-in-law, just half an hour ago, Old Ghost climbed over the wall on the third floor. The bodyguard said that he probably climbed over the water pipe. Old Ghost is definitely trained in this area.” Zhou Mingfei wanted to explain, so he spoke faster and faster. He quickly said, “I’ve arranged for quite a number of people to be stationed upstairs, downstairs, inside, and outside the building. However, he disappeared after he came back from the toilet. But don’t worry, Sister-in-law. I’ve already sent people to look for him. He’s so badly injured, he can’t run away. We’ll definitely find him. Please rest assured.”

Zhou Mingfei was too careless! No one would be too vigilant against a person who was injured to such an extent. According to Zhou Mingfei, the person in the ward watching Old Ghost should have gone to the toilet. The high-class wards all had their own toilet, which was also in the room. The time taken for the guard to go to the toilet was not long, but Old Ghost used that very short amount of time to run away! However, Jiang Tong knew that Old Ghost was not afraid of death! He was the kind that dared to risk his life!

However, just because he dared to risk his life didn’t mean he liked to give up his life. Otherwise, Old Ghost would have been dead long ago. He should be clear that he was so seriously injured this time. If he ran today, it was very likely that he would die on the way. He might not even be able to leave City Z! They had already resuscitated him and saved him once. Old Ghost should also understand that he was valuable and would not be easily disposed of. He could totally delay for a few more days and recuperate. Then, he would think of a way to escape. This way, the possibility of escaping City Z alive would be much greater! However, he was running away at the risk of death. This was obviously not normal. There was a problem!

The problem was Zhou Mingfei!

“You’re explaining so much to me in one go. What do you want to explain?” Jiang Tong directly exposed Zhou Mingfei’s thoughts.

“I…” Zhou Mingfei did not know how to answer Jiang Tong.

Jiang Tong sighed and said, “What are you so anxious about? Didn’t I already tell you? Didn’t I already tell you that I’ll let you listen to my conversation with Old Ghost?” Jiang Tong’s tone was very calm, but it was very different from her usual relaxed and smiling tone, which made people panic.
