The cameraman shook his head: "No."
D said, "I know some."
Zhao Qiang said, "Alright, you drive."
D said, "Ah, I only drove it once under the guidance of an instructor."
Zhao Qiang said, "That's fine then." With that, Zhao Qiang grabbed D and pushed her into the driver's seat. D stared at the rows of instruments, not knowing where to start.
Zhao Qiang casually asked her, "What's your name?"
“D, you can call me Donna. May I ask about your background?” Donna calmed down after Zhao Qiang interrupted her, and the helicopter, which had started to sway, stabilized in the air.
Yang Shiyun pushed Zhao Qiang from behind, forcing him to jump out of the helicopter. He was unable to answer Donna's question.
The cameraman saw two strange men jump out of the helicopter and yelled gleefully, "Let them crash and die!"
Donna turned and glared at the cameraman, who said, "They dared to hijack our interview helicopter; it would be too lenient if they died in the crash."
Donna said seriously, "I think they are very good news material, and I will continue to follow them."
The cameraman said with a sob in his voice, "My God, please put me down first, I'm so scared I'm about to wet my pants."
As Zhao Qiang descended the rope, he scanned his surroundings, quickly analyzing the images to identify any potential trading parties. He chose to descend using a rope to avoid attracting attention; jumping from the plane would have been far more conspicuous, and even then, many noticed the strange behavior of Zhao Qiang and Yang Shiyun.
"Over there," Zhao Qiang pointed, and Yang Shiyun immediately turned her gaze. There were many people scattered in the woods of the park, who looked like citizens taking a leisurely stroll, but in reality, they were all carrying guns. Their stroll was just a cover for patrolling. Under the protection of these people, there was a statue in the center, and under the cover of the statue, two groups of people were handing over a large box.
Yang Shiyun shot out a rope in a flash. It was actually an extremely soft metal that could wrap around and attract, and she moved quickly through the air using the surrounding buildings as a springboard, heading straight for the trading location in the center of the forest. Zhao Qiang was not to be outdone and landed under the statue first, scaring the two parties in the transaction half to death. Everyone drew their guns and became highly vigilant.
Zhao Qiang didn't say anything, but kicked the box that was being traded away. Yang Shiyun, who was behind him and hadn't landed yet, shot out a rope and lassoed the box. Then, instead of landing, she shot the rope towards the top of a tree and used it to leap into the air. Zhao Qiang followed, and the two of them actually completed the robbery and escaped in full view of everyone.
Bang! Finally, someone reacted immediately, and gunfire erupted. "They stole the diamonds! Stop them! Stop them!" someone shouted from the ground, chasing after Zhao Qiang and Yang Shiyun. But the two leaped higher and higher, and even if bullets hit them, they had no effect. Soon, they disappeared from sight. The Bonanos family members' expressions changed drastically. That box of diamonds was their family's lifeblood; if it were stolen like this, the consequences of not being able to buy weapons were unimaginable.
Zhao Qiang and Yang Shiyun naturally didn't care about the Bonanos family's affairs. The two landed on a rooftop, and the box was brought along by a rope. Yang Shiyun reached out to open the box, but Zhao Qiang stopped her, saying, "There's a bomb inside. If you open it incorrectly, it will explode."
Yang Shiyun said, "So poisonous?"
Zhao Qiang said, "It's probably not to protect us, but to prevent arms dealers from taking the diamonds and not delivering the weapons. I'll disable it first."
Zhao Qiang transformed the multi-purpose weapon hidden under his wrist into a thin metal wire. Under the observation of X-ray glasses, he crawled into the box from the edge, then disarmed the bomb. Only then did he open the box with peace of mind. The two of them were greeted by a dazzling display of diamonds. Even Yang Shiyun, who was usually so cold, was melted by this sight.
Zhao Qiang chuckled: "Congratulations on your fortune."
Yang Shiyun said, "This is all thanks to you, so the diamond is yours."
Zhao Qiang said, "We men don't like these things."
Yang Shiyun said angrily, "Oh, I see, you're still hung up on that female reporter from earlier."
Zhao Qiang said, "No way, you're making too many connections. I don't even know her."
Yang Shiyun said, "In short, my sister entrusted you to me, so I have to take responsibility for you. You are not allowed to flirt with foreign girls."
Zhao Qiang said, "That's not right. It should be that your sister handed you over to me, and I have to take responsibility for your sister."
Yang Shiyun slammed the box shut, and the bright light in front of her eyes disappeared. Yang Shiyun said, "Let's not talk about who's responsible for whom. What's the next step?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Go talk to the hospital owner, then take control of the hospital and find the doctor who treated you."
Yang Shiyun said, "The Bonanos family just lost diamonds, and you're already planning to use them to buy a hospital?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Otherwise, we don't have any other money. Anyway, we won't stay here for long. Even if we can control the hospital for just one day, we can find out the reason for your physical changes and leave immediately. Will the Bonanos family still chase us back to the country?"
Yang Shiyun said, "Okay, you've gone crazy. Let's go to the hospital."
Volume 2 [670] Hospital Investigation Results
The Bonannos family lost the diamonds at the last minute before the deal was about to be completed. The extent of the blow to the Bonannos family and how they launched a massive manhunt in New York were not important to Zhao Qiang and Yang Shiyun. The two hid the box and took some of the diamonds with them to the hospital. It wouldn't take many diamonds to buy the hospital.
The hospital owner was a woman in her fifties named Dorothy. Initially, she was unwilling to meet Yang Shiyun, but after Yang Shiyun revealed her identity in China, Dorothy immediately agreed to meet her. People without status do not receive the respect they deserve, and Yang Shiyun's status in China made Dorothy dare not neglect her. If there was any important business, she would regret missing it.
"Hello, Ms. Yang." Dorothy didn't look fifty years old; perhaps it was because of America's advanced technology.
Yang Shiyun shook hands with Dean Dorothy. "Hello."
Dorothy said, "Miss Yang, you didn't come all the way to America just to see me, did you? As far as I know, I'm not that well-known."
Yang Shiyun smiled and said, "Madam Dean, you are too modest. We Chinese people respect strong women like you the most."
Dorothy looked proud; as a woman, she was already satisfied with having achieved such a high level of success in her career.
Yang Shiyun continued, "I once stayed in your hospital as a patient for a period of time, and I still feel deeply moved when I think back on it."
Dorothy said, "I didn't expect Miss Yang to come to my hospital for treatment. It's an honor. However, you didn't explain your identity at the time, so I apologize for the lack of hospitality."
Yang Shiyun said, "It's nothing. Your staff are all very enthusiastic, which makes me feel less lonely in a foreign country."
"Miss Yang, you didn't come here today specifically to express your gratitude, did you?"
Yang Shiyun knew it was time to get down to business, and said, "There's something to this: I wanted to talk to the dean about the hospital acquisition."
Dorothy jumped up and said, "What? Acquisition? No sale!" With that, Dorothy prepared to see the guest out. This Chinese princess was simply insane. How could she sell the hospital she had worked so hard to build? It was so disrespectful to her hard work.
Yang Shiyun wasn't in a hurry. Her real goal was to find out the reason for the changes in her body. Whether or not she could buy the hospital was another matter. Finding a doctor to treat her and getting him to speak on her behalf was her ultimate objective.
"Madam Dean, please don't be agitated, we can talk this out." As she spoke, Yang Shiyun took out a diamond and placed it in front of Dorothy. The diamond struck the glass tabletop with a clear, ringing sound, like a magical spell. Dorothy's eyes widened. She reached for the not-so-large diamond on the table and involuntarily examined it against the sunlight. "It's a real diamond."
Yang Shiyun smiled and said, "Does the dean's wife think I'd try to cheat you with fake diamonds? Money is no problem for me."
Dorothy asked in bewilderment, "If that's the case, why doesn't Miss Yang acquire other hospitals? You know, other hospitals are no worse than us in terms of equipment and medical skills. Compared to them, my hospital doesn't have much of an advantage."
Yang Shiyun said, "I was treated here, so I have an emotional attachment to this place. I wanted to thank the doctor who treated me properly, but I couldn't find him. I had no choice but to resort to this."
Dorothy remained silent for a long time. She had already heard about the bureaucratic practices in China, but she never expected it to be to this extent. Just to thank the doctor who treated her, they wanted to buy the entire hospital.
Yang Shiyun didn't have much time to waste and pressed on, "Madam Dean, what do you think?"
Dorothy said, "I cannot accept your terms because I do not want an outsider to buy my hospital and end up in ruins. In my lifetime, I only want to make this hospital better."
It should be said that Dorothy is quite professional, unlike some people who would abandon their parents for money. Zhao Qiang secretly gave Yang Shiyun a wink, meaning she didn't need to insist on buying the hospital; as long as she could find the attending physician, it wouldn't be a problem even without spending a single diamond. Would anyone complain about saving money?
Yang Shiyun weighed the diamond in her hand: "The dean's wife has put me in a difficult position. Does that mean I can't express my gratitude to my benefactor?"
Dorothy said, "Miss Yang, your thinking is a bit extreme. If you really want to thank that doctor, I can get him here."
Yang Shiyun was pleasantly surprised: "Really? But I was unconscious at the time and had no idea who it was."
Dorothy said, "It's alright. As long as you tell me the time and name of your hospitalization, I will have someone find out who treated you."
Yang Shiyun tossed the diamond in her hand to Dorothy: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam Dean." After saying that, Yang Shiyun read out the date of admission and the name registered. Dorothy picked up the phone on the table and made a call to the archives. After hanging up, she said, "Ms. Yang, please wait a moment. We'll have the results soon."
Although Dorothy wasn't a woman driven solely by profit, the fact that she received a diamond in return for helping with a small matter still delighted her. What woman wouldn't like that? However, after waiting for over an hour, bad news came from the archives, which enraged Dorothy: "What? Can't find it? Impossible! The patient is right in front of me, how could they possibly have made a mistake?"
Zhao Qiang shook his head inwardly. He had already anticipated this result. He and Yang Shiyun had already searched through the archives. The administrator was just checking the results again to confirm them. Zhao Qiang's scan results should generally be correct.
Dorothy said to Yang Shiyun, "The medical records management office said they couldn't find Ms. Yang's file, but how is that possible? I ordered them to search carefully again. Ms. Yang, don't worry, we will definitely find it."
Yang Shiyun naturally didn't place her hopes on that. She said, "Madam Dean, I think we don't need to look anymore. Just give the word and those doctors will step forward on their own, right?" They'd have to do things for her after receiving the diamonds, so Yang Shiyun's request was quite reasonable.
Dorothy said, "That's one way, but I have a lot of doctors at my hospital, and they might not all be on duty today. Wait a little while, and we might have the results soon."
Helpless, Yang Shiyun and Zhao Qiang could only wait for another half hour. The archives called again, saying that there was indeed no patient record named Yang Shiyun or whose English name was Sarah.
Dorothy said, "That's really strange. If Miss Yang remembers correctly, this shouldn't have happened."
Yang Shiyun toyed with a diamond in her hand and said, "Madam Dean, if I hadn't truly been unable to find my benefactor, do you think I would have paid such a huge price?"
Dorothy glanced at the other diamond in Yang Shiyun's hand and said, "Okay, I'll call a meeting with the attending physicians right away."
Yang Shiyun gave Zhao Qiang a smug look, implying that the matter was settled with a small price to pay. Zhao Qiang shook his head, saying that it was still uncertain whether there would be any results and it was too early to be happy.
As expected, dozens of attending physicians came to the conference room for a meeting, but not a single one of them recognized Yang Shiyun. Dorothy was dumbfounded. It was true that some doctors were not at work today, but Yang Shiyun had been staying here for quite some time. Logically speaking, other doctors should have remembered an oriental beauty like her, but no one recognized her. How could this be?
Yang Shiyun quietly said to Dorothy, who was at a loss, "Madam Dean, my roommate who brought me to the hospital said that a nurse named Lina took care of me. I think she might know some information that we can't find."
Dorothy immediately told her assistant, "Go find a nurse named Lina and have her come over right away."
Since the dean had given the order, Lina had no choice but to come obediently. Her expression changed noticeably when she saw Zhao Qiang and Yang Shiyun, but since Dorothy was there, she had to quietly wait for instructions.
Dorothy said, "Lina, do you recognize this Miss Yang in front of you?"
Lina glanced at Yang Shiyun, shook her head, and said, "Dean, I don't know her."
Yang Shiyun was very angry: "You're lying. My roommate said that you took care of me back then. Why don't you dare to tell the truth? Is there some secret behind this?" Originally, Yang Shiyun blamed the hospital for the changes in her body. Now that the medical records have disappeared and Lina denies ever taking care of Yang Shiyun, how can this not arouse suspicion?
Dorothy was even angrier because her employee had lied to her, so her tone was extremely stern: "Lina, I expect you to answer Ms. Yang's questions honestly: Do you know her or not? Has she ever been treated at our hospital?"
Lina looked terrified. "Dean, I really don't remember her. I have absolutely no recollection of her. Please don't fire me."
Dorothy looked at Yang Shiyun with suspicion. Logically speaking, since Yang Shiyun had spoken so harshly, Lina had no reason to lie anymore.
Yang Shiyun was completely at a loss. She glanced at Zhao Qiang, wondering how to proceed. It seemed that even if they bought the hospital, they probably wouldn't get the desired result. This was no longer a matter of money.
Zhao Qiang's head was spinning. Things were getting more and more complicated. Based on his observation, it was impossible for Dorothy and Lina to collude in this act. So where did things go wrong? Why couldn't Yang Shiyun find any records of her previous hospital treatment? Could it be that something happened in the hospital that caused the changes in her body?
Dorothy said to Yang Shiyun, "Miss Yang, I think this must be a misunderstanding. Even if you buy my hospital, you won't be able to find a doctor to treat you. Your memory must be wrong." Dorothy only had this one explanation.
Yang Shiyun said, "Madam Dean, I believe my memory is accurate, but I will investigate what exactly happened."
Dorothy said apologetically, "Maybe I was able to help you."
Yang Shiyun said, "No matter what, I still want to thank the Dean's wife."
Dorothy said, "You're welcome, Lina. Go back to work."
Zhao Qiang and Yang Shiyun also left the hospital, walking aimlessly through the streets. "What should we do?" Yang Shiyun asked.
Zhao Qiang shook his head: "There's no good solution for now."
Yang Shiyun said, "Let's ask Ma Kexin again to see if she remembered it wrong."
Zhao Qiang said, "Okay, it's good to verify it again."
Yang Shiyun called Ma Kexin, who was sleeping and spoke in a lazy, soft voice, "Sarah, come to my house."
Book 2 [671] Confrontation
[671] Confrontation
Makoxin lived in a cheap apartment building that was smoky and filled with garbage in the hallways. Women with heavy makeup would come and go from time to time, and occasionally moaning could be heard from a half-open door. What kind of place was this?
