Chapter 702: Chapter 694: Can’t Find the Person Chapter 702: Chapter 694: Can’t Find the Person Zhang Xiaomei’s face darkened as she watched the departing driver.
“It’s good he didn’t want the money.”
She felt something rising in her throat again, and with one hand clutching her bag and the other pulling out tissues, she squatted in a corner and began to vomit.
ɴονǥᴑ.сο
The darned car he drove, and he still wanted to be paid, as if he hadn’t already jostled her stomach to the brink.
Why hadn’t she noted the license plate earlier to lodge a complaint against that driver?
She had been vomiting for quite a while, and since she hadn’t eaten anything that morning, she was now starting to throw up bile.
It wasn’t until she couldn’t vomit anything more that she managed to stand, leaning against the wall, but now there was a foul smell clinging to her, nauseating even to herself, let alone others.
...
She wanted to change her clothes but where could she possibly find a new outfit now?
Was she expected to hail another taxi to go back?
But where would she find a taxi around here?
No, that’s not right, there are buses, aren’t there?
No, she wouldn’t be caught dead on a bus.
With her status, how could she possibly resort to such a crude mode of transportation?
After asking many people, she finally found the entrance to the security company, but the neat rows of security personnel outside and the strict checks everyone entering had to undergo, with interrogations every few steps, made it clear that this was a select venue.
No wonder Gu Ning had said the security company wasn’t easy to get into.
In this regard, he hadn’t lied.
If just anyone could walk in, it wouldn’t be a security company.
The security system here was nationally renowned and, accordingly, demanded a high level of confidentiality.
Even the main courtyard of the company wasn’t accessible to just anyone.
The meals in the security company’s cafeteria were known to be quite good, far better than those at a hospital.
This was common knowledge.
But even the doctors couldn’t just walk into the cafeteria without a valid justification and precise identification, or else there would be no need for such stringent checkpoints.
Tang Yuxin had been inside a few times, but always in Gu Ning’s car.
Gu Ning was the big shot there, his car bore special plates, and thus didn’t require a pass to enter or exit.
Others, however, would find it difficult.
Zhang Xiaomei tried several times but was unable to get in to find someone.
And to return without accomplishing anything just didn’t sit right with her.
She wasn’t willing to give up.
She hadn’t gotten to the bottom of things yet; how could she possibly return empty-handed?
She clutched her purse, shivering like a monkey, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings in hope of spotting an acquaintance.
Yet in such a place, that was hardly an easy task.
Granted, she knew Gu Ning, but she had never been a part of his social circle.
What fun could there be in a gathering of stuffy old men?
They were not on the same wavelength.
She liked to talk about perfumes, clothes, and handbags.
Would they?
Besides, she hadn’t even been back to the country until recently, leaving her no time to meet others as she had been busy shopping for clothes and shoes and showing them off.
So even if she were to strain her eyes out, she could not find a single familiar face.
As time dwindled and darkness fell, her hunger intensified, and she could intermittently hear her stomach rumbling.
She sneaked back to the front of the security company entrance and loitered for a long time.
There was no luck in finding an opportunity; it seemed not even a fly could get in.
Until she noticed some plainclothes people heading in one direction.
She had no idea where it led, but if everyone was going there, there must be something, right?
After thinking it over, staying put wasn’t getting her anywhere, so she decided to follow them, hoping to find a place where she could make a phone call.
She would be content with just one call.
Walking on, she discovered what lay ahead.
Even before getting too close, with so many people in hospital pajamas and an assortment of nurses and doctors around, where else could she be but at a hospital?
By then, the sky had darkened, and although the hospital was brightly lit, Zhang Xiaomei still felt the chill.
Once again, her stomach growled, and with a cunning glint in her eye, an idea took shape.
All right, that would do.
She quickly turned and ran towards the hospital.
Once inside, she clutched her stomach and began to scream for help.
“Nurse, nurse, save me, please save me...”
Her shouting alarmed the nurses.
