Chapter 497: Chapter 496: Are you not afraid that I will do something bad in the future?

During this time, Old Sir Su had gone through great pains and expense to finally make connections with some influential figures, and at a banquet, he managed to strike up a conversation with Old Sir Jin.

Hearing that Old Sir Jin had fallen ill and come to the sanatorium for a check-up, Su Haikang immediately brought people to wait at the entrance, wanting to show his concern at the earliest opportunity.

Just now, when they got a little too close, four or five bodyguards came over and scolded them to keep their distance, and even his explanation of his relationship and purpose with Old Sir Jin was futile.

When Chi Gui’s driver went down to talk to the black-clad bodyguard, Su Haikang was taken aback for a moment, thinking another important figure had arrived, only to see Chi Guihe and Su Niannian coming out of the car.

Su Haikang had mixed feelings about Chi Gui; on one hand, he didn’t believe she could really be that formidable, but on the other, he couldn’t explain away her various bug-like actions.

Therefore, when he saw Chi Guihe and Su Niannian walking towards the entrance after getting out of the car, he spoke up to remind them.

Regardless of what Chi Gui was like, it was always right to do her an inconsequential favor.

Su Niannian couldn’t be bothered with the Su Family members, not even turning her head in that direction.

With Su Haikang’s warm approach met with a cold shoulder, his mood soured, and he turned to get back into his car.

Zheng Xiuxiu sat in the passenger seat and, seeing Su Haikang get in, snorted, “That girl really thinks she’s found a great backer! She’s so arrogant she doesn’t even look people in the eye! Doesn’t she consider that a girl her age, no matter how capable, can only do so much?”

Su Haikang didn’t respond, his eyes fixed on Su Niannian and Chi Gui.

Seeing that the pair didn’t get past the bodyguards to enter through the front door and instead went around to the back, he breathed a sigh of relief.

–

Su Niannian looked at Chi Gui taking her around to the back, puzzled, “Sister Chi, there’s nothing but walls here, what are we doing?”

The sanatorium’s security used the latest international cutting-edge technology; aside from the main entrance, it was impossible for even the world’s top hackers and assassins to enter from any other direction, let alone ordinary people like them.

Chi Gui didn’t respond but walked to the third wall, pulled out a chip-like card from her backpack, and lightly touched a brick decorated with a pattern–

Click.

A sound barely heard.

The moment the brick retracted, the surrounding bricks also began to change their arrangement, forming a small door.

Chi Gui’s slender fingers gently pushed the door open and walked in first.

Her bodyguard then went to a tree a short distance away and signaled in another direction.

Su Niannian stood there, gobsmacked, overwhelmed by the high-tech akin to that of a movie, forgetting what she was supposed to do.

Chi Gui walked a few steps in and, seeing Su Niannian hadn’t moved, turned around, “What are you dazed for?”

Su Niannian: “Oh.”

She stiffly moved her legs and followed Chi Gui inside.

After Su Niannian went in, Chi Gui pressed a button near the door, and following another transformation, the small door reverted back to its brick wall appearance.

The door led to a hallway imbued with a sense of technology, shining silver-white.

Before long, the two of them emerged from the corridor.

They were in the sanatorium’s rear garden.

Su Niannian glanced back and indeed saw that the moment they came out, the bricks above the small door automatically rearranged themselves back into a brick wall, leaving no trace of the door.

“This, this door…” Su Niannian pointed at the door, stammering, with so many questions she didn’t know which to ask first.

Chi Gui, however, didn’t hide anything: “This is a special passageway of the sanatorium, accessible to anyone with a pass.”

Her tone was so nonchalant that it somewhat embarrassed Su Niannian’s expression of shock.

After a long while, Su Niannian managed to stammer out, “Sister Chi… you’ve exposed this secret passage to me… Aren’t you worried that I might do something bad in the future?”
