The news of a famous idol being stabbed on the day of her dome concert was far more explosive than the concert itself. Before long, the news spread everywhere. Outside the hospital where Hoshino Ai was being treated, reporters and fans had completely surrounded the place, blocking it off so thoroughly that not even a drop of water could get through.
Considering that things would only become more troublesome if this continued, Duanmu Huai decisively contacted a specialized hospital through his own connections once Hoshino Ai's condition had stabilized, planning to send her there for further treatment.
However...
"Ah, this is so infuriating!"
Sitting in the car and looking at the crowds packed outside, Ruby angrily waved her hands.
"Why are these people blocking the road? The car is stuck at the intersection, and we can't get out at all!"
"Those reporters are even trying to inspect every vehicle entering or leaving the hospital. Looks like those bastards really aren't willing to give up."
Club President frowned as well.
"Someone in the hospital might have sold the news to the media. That sort of thing is quite common."
"What are we supposed to do now?"
Even Club President, who was driving, was extremely frustrated. Duanmu Huai, however, calmly pointed out the window.
"Isn't the sidewalk spacious enough? Drive over there."
"Huh?"
Club President was startled by Duanmu Huai's order.
"B-but there are people all over the sidewalk..."
"Just drive."
"T-this..."
He wanted to treat it as nothing more than a child's nonsense, but the pressure radiating from Duanmu Huai turned Club President's face deathly pale. Even Ruby looked frightened and uneasy. Fortunately, the hospital called the police at that moment. The police soon arrived and dispersed the crowd blocking the way, allowing everyone to take the opportunity to leave.
"Phew..."
