Chapter 1217: If Your Combat Power Isn't Up to Par, Don't Be a Bad Guy

She did not do as he said, but instead asked Yun Qitian what had happened.

He briefly recounted the scene he had just seen in the hallway and said to Shi Ran, "Quickly hide in a safe place; I suspect those two people are coming for you."

Shi Ran still did not move from her spot.

Instead, she took out her phone and called the police!

"Officer, I am at the Saint Mary Hospital, on the twenty-eighth-floor high-end Hospital Ward... Bad people have entered the hospital, they have Daggers in their hands, and I have preliminarily determined there are two of them; it is unclear if there are any accomplices outside."

"Yes, please send people immediately and keep in touch."

Shi Ran had called the police, and Yun Qitian was a bit confused: "How are you not flustered at all?"

Shi Ran: "Because the bad guys aren't coming for me; I suspect they are coming for Great Aunt and Aunt Nianyin."

Yun Qitian:...

He thought about it carefully and then felt it made sense.

If they were coming for Shi Ran, they wouldn't have given him the chance to come in and warn her at all.

He became anxious again: "Aren't your Great Aunt and Aunt Nianyin in great danger? I must notify them immediately."

After saying this, he prepared to run out, but was stopped by Shi Ran once again: "Don't rush over there blindly. Those people couldn't even fool you, let alone Great Aunt and Aunt Nianyin. I suspect they are already fighting by now; you'd just be in the way."

The facts were indeed as she said.

Those two people were coming for Ji Yingjie.

They knew Nianyin was staying next door to Ji Yingjie, so they specifically walked from another direction, trying their best to avoid being discovered by Nianyin!

But they still miscalculated one step—Nianyin was not in her own room, but in Ji Yingjie's room.

From the moment the two entered, they both sensed something was wrong!

The reason they sensed something was wrong was very simple—the aura was off!

These two people were covered tightly by masks and hats, but they were radiating killing intent.

They were not people from the hospital; they had come either for their lives or for their freedom.

No matter what they wanted, they couldn't be given either.

The mother and daughter did not show a hint of nervousness and continued their previous topic, chatting normally as if they hadn't noticed anything, but in reality, they were already prepared.

"Time for an injection."

A short "doctor" revealed a syringe.

He spoke Jiangzhou dialect with a clumsy L Country accent, completely exposing his identity without realizing it.

Ji Yingjie frowned and complained: "Annoying, I have to get an injection every day. My body is already better, so why do I still need injections? Can I skip it?"

Before the "doctor" could answer, Nianyin took over: "No, Mother, you must listen to the doctor. The doctors in Jiangzhou are much better than the doctors back home; every one of them is a miracle doctor. The injections don't hurt, and the medicine is effective."

"Since being hospitalized, it's not just the recent injuries; I feel like the old injuries from my previous training are almost all healed..."

As she spoke, she leaned closer to the "doctor," appearing as if she were going to take the injection first!

But just as the syringe neared her, she suddenly delivered a quick Sweeping Leg, and at the same time, grabbed the man's wrist, pushing and thrusting—"Puchi."

Before the man even fell to the ground, the needle filled with potent sleeping pills had already been injected into his own body.

The moment the man hit the floor, he had already successfully passed out; it was just that fast!

As Nianyin turned back, she drew the Dagger from the man's lower back, a cold light flashed, and the Dagger was accurately pressed against the remaining man's carotid artery.

"Speak, whose people are you?"

The intruder glared, refusing to confess: "Just kill me, make it quick." A thick L Country accent.

His movements looked like those of a soldier.

Nianyin had a pretty good idea by now and didn't need to ask further; nothing could be learned from standard questioning, so she reached out and chopped hard at the back of his neck, and this man also passed out. The whole group was wiped out.

"Bang!"

The door to Shi Ran's Hospital Ward was heavily kicked, but it didn't open.

Both of them shivered in unison; although Shi Ran was certain those two bad guys wouldn't get the upper hand, neither of them had seen the actual situation, so neither felt sure.

Who was kicking the door?

The two looked at each other.

Yun Qitian stood in front of Shi Ran very naturally, preparing to use his not-so-broad frame to block any potential risks for her.

At this moment, Nianyin said from outside: "Open the door, it's me."

"Phew!"

Both of them let out long sighs of relief, and their hearts settled back into their chests.

Yun Qitian opened the door, and Nianyin pushed him aside and walked in, saying to Shi Ran: "Ranran, are you two okay..."

Halfway through her sentence, she noticed something was wrong.

Why were the curtains drawn tight in the middle of the day?

And the door was locked, too.

Nianyin was an experienced person; she immediately thought she understood, and immediately beamed with a smile as she apologized: "Sorry, sorry, I've interrupted your sweet time together. You two continue, I won't disturb you."

She was about to leave, but Shi Ran hurriedly explained: "Oh, Aunt Nianyin, you've misunderstood, it's Qitian..."

"No need to explain, explanation is just a cover-up, and a cover-up is the truth." Nianyin walked out with a grin.

Shi Ran:...

This phrase was her mother's catchphrase; she often said this, never giving people a chance to explain.

Is this karma coming around?

Retribution in this life.

If it doesn't hit you, it hits your children.

Regardless, if Aunt Nianyin was fine, then Great Aunt was fine, and if they were both fine, it meant the bad guys had already been dealt with.

When the police arrived, Ji Yingjie and Nianyin were still puzzled: how did they know?

Upon learning that it was Shi Ran who called the police, the two of them finally understood everything.

The police wanted to take the bad guys away, but Ji Yingjie was not very willing; she wanted to keep them and use private lynching to force out where the mastermind was.

But the police did not agree, saying this was Jiangzhou, and in Jiangzhou, one must act according to the laws of Jiangzhou; no one is allowed to act recklessly.

Three days later.

Ji Yingjie was finally allowed to be discharged from the Hospital Ward, but her niece still would not allow her to leave Jiangzhou.

Wang Yong was conducting a carpet search for members of the Ji Family across various Islands; although he had not yet found Shi Yucheng, Lao Qi, and the two children, he had rescued quite a few people.

Even if the two of them went back, it would not be of much use; it was safer to stay in Jiangzhou.

Ji Yingjie and Nianyin had stayed in the hospital for quite some time and had accumulated a lot of things; the bodyguards had made several trips back and forth and still had not finished moving them.

Shi Ran said to the people guarding her door: "You all go help too." She had an injured arm, otherwise, she would have wanted to help too.

The bodyguards hesitated: "That won't do, Eldest Miss. The order we received from Madam is to guard here and protect your safety; we cannot move a single step."

Shi Ran: "Those who aren't allowed to move a single step are door gods; just stick them on the door. They are just for show and meant to scare people. You are living, breathing human beings; aren't you tired of standing there without moving? Go on, it will only take a few minutes, I'll be fine here."

The bodyguards had long been annoyed by guarding the door, but they had to execute the order because of Madam's command.

Now that the Eldest Miss had spoken and told them to help, and Young Master Yun was also chiming in on the side, agreeing with the Eldest Miss's words, the few of them happily went to help.

Although it was manual labor, at least they could move around; staying at the door all the time was dull and boring.

As soon as they left, a figure flashed from the corner and headed straight for Shi Ran's Hospital Ward!
