Chapter 526

"Of course, what's your name?"

With the name, the girl's parents' information can be found from the population records bureau, thus revealing their address.

"I...I'm Cecilia."

As soon as he finished speaking, Aizel noticed something was wrong. The halo above the other person's head was very dim.

Even when Sarkaz is at his lowest point or hasn't eaten for days, his aura wouldn't be like this.

Cecilia, are you alright?

"I... I sometimes do that. My mom says it's because I'm sick, and it'll be fine in a bit."

Seeing that her aura was so dim, Aizel immediately used the Sarkaz's unique 'empathy' ability.

He could sense the little girl's anxiety at not being able to find her mother, but he didn't feel any physical pain, which was very unusual.

"Knock knock."

The female caregiver knocked on the door and asked:

Are you a family member of the child?

Aizel stared at Cecilia, who looked pained, and frowned as he agreed:

"I suppose so."

"Come with me. This child's condition is a bit special. The Doctor said he needs to speak with you privately."

Aizel guessed it was some kind of difficult illness, comforted Cecilia for a moment, and then went out with the caregiver.

"You get some rest, I'll be back soon."

He followed the caregiver into the corridor, but instead of the Doctor's Office, he headed to the hospital rooftop.

"The Doctor will explain the child's condition to you when he arrives."

Aizel's lips twitched, his suspicion growing stronger.

If the Doctor is in another ward, they should talk in the office. Why insist on meeting on the rooftop?

He was a little unsure, so he decided to try a trick:

"I've already reported Cecilia's situation to the Notary Office, and my colleague will be there soon."

"Huh? What?"

Seeing the caregiver's reaction, Aizel frowned and raised his Guardian Gun:

Who are you?

"I... I'm a caregiver, sir. I don't understand what you're saying. The Doctor will be here soon. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

"Stop right there! Do you think any hospital nurses would get nervous just from hearing the words 'Notary Office'?"

Seeing that her plan had been exposed, the caregiver dropped the pretense. She stared at the helper entering the rooftop and smiled sinisterly:

"Patia told us to be gentle with the child, but she didn't say to be gentle with you."

"Patia? I'll remember that."

The caregiver, his face contorted with rage, stood alongside the dozen or so helpers who had surged onto the rooftop, uttering harsh words:

"Let this young man rest for a while."

Ten minutes ago.

Shi Lei and his group arrived at the Central Hospital Plaza in the Stiwan District and confirmed Remuan's location with the receptionist.

Exusiai glanced inside through the glass door of the ward. Then, carrying the complimentary fruit she had bought on the way, she pushed open the door and called out happily:

"Elder sister!"

In fact, the Exusiai whose real name is Remuella is not related to her sister Remuan by blood. However, their family treats Remuel as a relative.

Remuan, with her long, flowing pink hair, was sitting in an electric Wheelchair. She was about to turn around when she heard the shouts when Exusiai pounced on her.

Upon discovering her sister's return, Remuan's face instantly lit up with a smile, and she reached out to ruffle her hair.

"Sis, how did your follow-up checkup go?"

"Not bad. Last year, the Central Hospital held a Wheelchair speed shooting competition. I won the championship, and then the Doctor banned me from competing."

Fiamma was Remuan's teammate before and has a very clear understanding of her abilities:

"If you want to find someone in this world whose shooting skills can rival yours, you'll probably have to look in the Gun Knights."

"Haha, I love hearing that. I'd be even happier if someone could learn from the lovely Fiamma and say a few nice things to me, their patient."

Upon hearing this, Fiamma looked to the side and teased:

Are you planning to stand here installing curtains again?

Mostima was suddenly mentioned, which was quite speechless:

"Okay, your shooting skills are the best I know."

"Hehe, that's more like it."

Remuan's dynamic vision was exceptional, and she quickly spotted Shi Lei at the door. She gripped the armrests of her electric Wheelchair and strained to peer into the ward.

"Hey, is that Zhongli? I often see him online, I never thought I'd meet him in person!"

Upon hearing Exusiai's sister mention him, Shi Lei grinned, revealing a polite smile. He wasn't that familiar with her, which was why he and Xi were standing quietly at the door waiting.

"Hello, Miss Remuan."

"Mister Zhongli, is this your girlfriend next to you? Wow, she's so beautiful!"

Xi blushed slightly at the straightforward praise, but she was very happy inside and replied:

"Thanks."

Remuan withdrew her gaze and turned it to her younger sister:

"Xiao Le, how long are you staying this time?"

"The Summit of All Nations is at 2 PM, so I'll probably head back after I'm done. But I can stay here a few more days; I'll have Zhongli pick me up then."

"Why are you making Mister Zhongli sound like your driver? You don't need to bother others with this kind of thing. Just take a car when you leave."

Shi Lei didn't care; he and Exusiai were old friends and colleagues. Besides, it only took a little over an hour to get here from Liyue, so he could just give her a ride. He didn't comment at the moment, maintaining his polite smile.

Seeing Remuan cast a glance at her, Mostima stood by the curtains, staff in hand.

"We might stay until Tuesday, and then we'll see if that old guy assigns me any weird tasks."

The old man she mentioned was none other than the Pope, the leader of Laterano. Because there were outsiders present, Fiamma merely glared at Mostima, signaling him to behave.

Remuan raised her chin, a slight smile playing on her lips, revealing a smug expression:

"If you'd like to stay a little longer, I can help you."

"What's the meaning?"

Fiamma paused for a moment, then quickly recovered after Mostima reminded her:

"No way, Remuan? You've started working at the Papal Hall? But weren't you in rehabilitation?"

"Ah, it's just some paperwork. There's no going back to a place like the Guard Team."

Fiamma clicked her tongue, feeling quite regretful:

"It's such a waste to let your excellent shooting skills go to waste."

Remuan, like Exusiai, has a lively personality and immediately changed the subject when she sensed the serious atmosphere:

"What's the waste? There are plenty of people more skilled than me. Besides, if a major disaster strikes this land, the tall guy will be there to protect it. And right now, this tall guy is right at the door; we can't afford to neglect him."

Hearing the other person mention him again, Shi Lei knew he shouldn't be disturbing the sisters' reunion. He wasn't familiar with these Sarkaz, and his presence here would be an eyesore.

"Hehe, you guys chat first. We'll go for a stroll around the neighborhood and pick her up after the summit. If Exusiai wants to stay a few more days, we'll head back now."

After Shi Lei finished speaking, he took Xi's hand and said goodbye to the others, then turned and left the ward. Lappland and Oren, the Messenger of All Nations, followed behind him and left.

It only takes a few days' drive from Laterano to Liyue.

He fully respected Exusiai's wishes; if she wanted to stay and play with her sister, she could stay a few more days.

Shi Lei and his companions walked through the corridor and looked out the window at the birdsong and fragrant flowers in the courtyard. More than a dozen pigeons were foraging on the ground, occasionally spreading their wings and flying into the air.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned to look back at the rooftop, where the sound of muskets had just rang out.

Chapter 601 Let's Do It (4K)

What kind of place is a hospital?

That's a place for healing and saving lives!

The sound of gunfire in such a public place clearly indicated a fight between two factions. Lappland, like a wild beast that had caught a whiff of blood, wagged its tail and laughed:

"Zhongli, let's go join the fun!"

Shi Lei had pinpointed the exact location and headed straight for the incident. Rock Constructs mobile platform appeared out of thin air beneath their feet, carried by his will, and carried them aboard.

Just as Aizel fired a warning shot, he was startled to see a stranger fly up from outside the rooftop.

The female caregivers and assistants were also quite frightened, standing there at a loss for what to do.

Before he could ask, Aizel recognized Shi Lei, whom he had met once before, and explained to him:

"Mister Zhongli, I rescued a little girl who had fainted on the road, but they... wait!"

He instantly realized he had fallen for a diversionary tactic and immediately ran down the corridor toward the ward.

Shi Lei, too lazy to waste words, used Rock Constructs to restrain the armed troublemakers on the rooftop. He would hand them over to the Laterano law enforcement agencies later.

Inside the ward, an unfamiliar woman pushed open the door:

"Cecilia, we are your companions. Get up, someone is waiting for you."

"Wait for me? Is that Mom?"

The woman gave a wry smile and shook her head regretfully.

"I'm sorry, no, Cecilia, your mother is not coming back."

"Why?"

The woman was unable to answer the girl's question.

"I'm sorry, Cecilia. I can't explain this to you. Pack your things and come with me."

Cecilia curled up, clutching the sheets, and stared warily at the strange woman.

"No, I won't leave!"

"Tsk, I'm really bad at dealing with kids. Cecilia, my name is Patia. Whether you like it or not, you have to come with me. It's not safe here."

Accompanied by approaching footsteps, Aizel abruptly pushed open the door. He found an unfamiliar Liberi woman inside and asked in confusion:

"Who are you? What do you want with Cecilia?"

When Patia saw him there, she immediately realized that the men she had sent to stop him had failed.

"Cecilia is our comrade; you are the one who stole her."

Aizel noticed Cecilia cowering fearfully in the corner of the bed and directly exposed her lie:

"If you're Cecilia's relative, why should she be afraid of you? Tell me her parents' real names, home address, and identification numbers, as well as your blood or legal relationship with her. Only after verification can you take her away; otherwise, don't even think about kidnapping her!"

Patia clicked her tongue, revealing a look of disgust:

"If you were Liberi, perhaps I could consider answering. But if you're Sarkaz, forget it. The scum of the Notary Office, the kind of person I hate most in my life is someone like you who thinks so big of a deal..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Lei and the others arrived outside the door.

Lappland knew that once he made his move, there would be no chance for her, so she insisted on having a go.

Upon entering, she saw a Liberi woman confronting Aizel and immediately attacked her without a word.
