Chapter 551 - Chapter 551 Danger Approaching

Chapter 551: Danger Approaching Chapter 551: Danger Approaching “Yes,” Xie Wanying replied. These people must have heard about her from Li Yaxi’s phone call.

“Here’s Li Yaxi’s top-up card.”

Taking the card from their hands, Xie Wanying said to the people, “Don’t call her out in the middle of the night anymore. She’s hospitalized and needs to follow the rules and regulations for inpatients.”

A few young men and women looked at her, giggling as they responded, “Yes, Dr. Xie.”

Worried there might be an issue in the ward, Xie Wanying hurried back.

After she left, the young people started to joke about her:

“She talks just like an old lady, just like Ya Xi said.”

“But she’s about our age, right? Why is she like this? Is this what medical students are like?”

“Last time we visited Ya Xi, the male medical student in charge of her was totally different, he was so cool and handsome.”

“What’s the big deal about coming out to get a card? She worries more than my mom.”

The hospital set these regulations based on past experiences and lessons, some even from tragic incidents. These people weren’t in the industry, so they didn’t take it seriously.

Xie Wanying passed through the outpatient building to the inpatient department.

It was four o’clock, and everyone was sleeping soundly. To save on expenses at night, parts of the corridors in the outpatient and inpatient buildings were pitch-black, with only a few lights on. As she walked, she wasn’t sure if it was her ears playing tricks on her, but it sounded like someone was following her. Maybe her earlier feeling that someone was watching her wasn’t an illusion.

Senior Tao’s words flashed through her mind: Be careful when you’re alone in the hospital.

There had been news of crimes happening on some nights. It’s the kind of thing you only encounter if you’re really unlucky. The hospital has security guards, and the security work on regular days is much stronger than in ordinary residential areas or big roads. It seemed she might be extremely unlucky tonight. Fortunately, the patients and Sister Lingling had gone back first, otherwise, it would have been even worse.

Xie Wanying’s heart raced, and she didn’t dare to look back to see who it was, afraid that turning around might give the pursuer a chance to catch her.

The elevator ahead was in use, waiting for it would definitely give the pursuer an opportunity. Calling the police would be too late. Without time to think, she could only run up the stairs.

The person behind seemed to realize she knew they were there and quickened their pace to chase after her.

The footsteps behind her grew closer, and the heavy panting became clearer. As a doctor, her auditory judgment told her it was a male’s breathing. The rhythm of his breaths, clearly following her, confirmed her suspicions.

Cold sweat climbed up her spine. Xie Wanying started to run. She couldn’t go directly to the sixth floor, as men generally have a larger lung capacity than women and she would be at a disadvantage climbing the stairs. Turning a corner, she quickly entered the second floor.

She had been to the second floor once before, looking for her second senior sister. She hadn’t expected that with several departments on the second floor, the corridors were complex like a maze. When she found the Pathology Department where her second senior sister worked, she had nearly walked through the entire second floor.

The maze-like second floor became her opportunity for escape tonight.

Turning left and right, the pursuer didn’t know the path as well as she did, and keeping up with her would take more time and effort.

Most importantly, the little time she’d bought allowed her to quickly construct a map for escape in her mind, using her memory. In a secluded corner on the second floor was a special storage room, which the cleaning staff used to store their cleaning tools on regular days. The storage room happened to have two doors, a front and a back, both usually locked to prevent theft. However, the cleaning staff later stopped locking it for convenience since the items weren’t valuable and nobody would steal them. It would only be locked during hospital inspections.

Xie Wanying pushed open the front door of the storage room and dashed inside.
