Chapter 28: The real play.

Qin Qianyu led the others away while the teen stalker was place in cuffs and placed in the back of the military vehicle.

"You can't hold me like this! That masked lady is crazy why are you following her orders she's not even military!"

"I'm only doing what my superiors told me to do, and that was to follow her command. If you have a problem with that you can take it up with them."

Oh Maude the hospital, the presence of the three soldiers and a woman wearing a fox mask caused a little commotion.

The hospital's security were called and they intercepted the four people.

Qin Qianyu frowned and looked the security detail over,

"This looks like it's going to get messy, you three! Just remember, they're civilians got it? Don't go overboard."

The three men nodded and cleared a path for her.

She ambled down the hallways unmolested and came to a familiar room.

"This doesn't look like the circus!? Why are you here former doctor Gu?"

Gu Ping and the others turned to see Qin Qianyu in a fox mask and cloak standing at the door with her arms folded in front of her with her head cocked to the side showing a toothy smile at him.

"You . . This is private hospital! You can't be here!?"

"It's fine, I only came to see your show, not be treated, especially from someone so unreliable as you or your uncle,"

Qin Qianyu quipped, she then turned to the middle aged doctor and offered a smile.

"Good evening doctor Gu, you don't look so well, could you be feeling ill? I have a pill here it's still experimental at this stage but it's good at curing all ailments. Oh before you ask, I'll let you know right now it's made right here and it's supposedly the work of the two of you! Isn't that great!?"

Qin Qianyu pulled out the pill and showed it to the middle aged doctor then everyone else.

"Open wide doctor Gu, you'll be fine after taking it since you made it right!?"

Doctor Gu started backing away from Qin Qianyu, or rather the pill she had in her hand.

"Haise! Can a man who doesn't stand by his words still be considered a man?"

Qin Qianyu taunted the middle aged doctor, however, the room was interrupted once more by the three soldiers and a woman.

The woman was Jing Li, an heiress and rich lister that owns part of the hospital as well as many other profitable ventures, companies and businesses.

"Doctor Gu what's the meaning of all this why are there soldiers here causing a ruckus in my damn hospital!?"

Doctor Gu looked at his nephew and both sighed a breath of relief. Even if the military was here this was still a private hospital.

Jing Li would then be able to give the two men time to destroy anything that could lead back to the stolen research and such.

"Miss Jing, the testing of the new experimental drug has hit a little snag, maybe if you . . "

What the middle aged doctor implied was for her to use her influence to smooth things out with the men from the military.

"You three! This is my Jing's family's hospital and we're right in the middle of conducting research into our newly developed drug. This has nothing to do with the military at all so you have no power here."

Qin Qianyu knew that this woman was trying to apply pressure, however,

"Hahaha, if I'm here it has everything to do with the military. Hey lady, do you know who's research you've just claimed as your own? Circus clown Gu Ping, care to enlighten her?"

Gu Ping started panicking as he turned to his uncle, it seemed that they've been caught, he could only imagine the consequences he'd be facing especially since the things he's stolen over the years and passed on to his uncle and Jing Hospital are related to renown scientist Doctor Wen, but also the government and the military.

Jing Li didn't care about process, she only concentrated on the end product and profit margins.

"Take this tacky halloween clown back with you or so help me, I'll make sure you scrub toilets with your own toothbrushes from now on!"

This woman surnamed Jing bellowed out at the soldiers loudly, her family really could apply pressure in certain circles and the soldiers that came were just regular soldiers.

They became confused and panicked. On one hand you have a woman wearing a fox mask and in the other a heiress with a lot of pull and backing.

To these normal soldiers, the solution was simple, "might is right!" And so they aptly followed the Jing heiresses command.

Qin Qianyu cocked her head at them before shaking it from side to side disapprovingly.

She didn't muck around. She rushed the three soldiers and shoulder barged the middle one into the soldier to the left leaving the one on the right isolated from the others.

She pressed a few points around his body locking up all his joints freezing the poor man in his spot.

Next, she walked up to the two downed men, dragged one away and locked up his mobility and then did the same with the last one.

In mere moments all three men were military fatigue wearing statues.

"What on earth are you doing!? Do you know who I am!? I can make your life real miserable."

"Really? Wow, how great are you!? Anyway as for these three idiots! Why the hell would that god damn idiot wolf send god damn idiots here to help me!?"

"Which idiots?"

"Those idi . . ots,"

Qin Qianyu stuttered. She turned towards the door and was utterly, yet pleasantly surprised to see the handsome wolf standing before her.

Jing Li was also surprised, her eyes changed as she ogled the man at the entrance.

"Oh my, Sir I am Jing Li daughter to Jing Chen have you come to my hospital for a check up? I can arrange it for you."

Jing Li asked politely, however, the handsome wolf didn't answer and only ever looked at Qin Qianyu.

"Oh! Handsome wolf! You're here!? Were you perhaps just passing by?"

Qin Qianyu asked then beamed him a smile. He saw this and his mind collapsed like a wet sandcastle.

"Mhm, because of fathers research,"

The commander started screaming at himself, he couldn't believe how stupid he sounded just then.

He couldn't understand why he just couldn't talk to her like he would everyone else.

Qin Qianyu saw nothing amiss, she had an idea of this man's personality from the other interactions she's had with him.

"Truly a man of action and few words, or maybe because I'm a woman he doesn't like talking? That must be it, it's because I'm not a gender he fancies."

Qin Qianyu thought to herself, she stopped at the point of almost blaming herself for having been born with the wrong bits,

"Well, least I can still look. Haha! Single dog for life!"

Qin Qianyu followed up her previous thoughts.

At the same time, the handsome wolf was also having an internal conversation of his own,

"Because of father's research!? Really!? You idiot!"

His face was still stoic as he awaited her reply, if one could continue with a reply after what he just said to her, alas, no verbal reply came.

Qin Qianyu just nodded in response then saw the man standing right next to the commander staring at the three stiff and unmoving soldiers in the room.

"Yeah so about them, it seems like they would rather follow the command of a rich heiress with brain issues than mine,"

" . . . "

Qin Qianyu briefly gave an account of what had transpired to the commander. She pointed out the two Duan family members saying that they're victims of whatever plot the hospital and the two doctors had install and that this should be enough for them to warrant a full investigation.

The commander on the other hand, he wasn't really listening to Qin Qianyu. Because of the lifeless mask on her face, his eyes were drawn to the only thing that had motion, her lips.

As he "listened" he kept wondering about what he could say to her. Then the situation started to perplex his mind as he was wondering about what to say to this enigmatic, fascinating and mysterious woman with a gorgeous smile.

On the helicopter ride to this city's hospital from a base close to his family's home, he had thought of many things to talk to her about.

However, now that he's here, he couldn't even recite a child's nursery rhyme let alone start a meaningful conversation.

"Alright before you all go, can someone tell me which one of you poisoned Lu Mingyu?"

The room was deathly quiet, not even the Duan's reacted upon hearing the name.

It was then that Qin Qianyu looked the Duan's over and realised that they've closed off their minds thinking about what's going to happen herein.

"Well we'll! none of you did!? . . Well it doesn't matter, I'll leave it to the Lu family to figure it out. Seems the main culprits are here though."

She muttered softly as she turned to the commander and flashed him the smile he had been obsessing over the last few days.

"Handsome wolf! I'll leave the clean up to you and yours since I prepared the meal."

Qin Qianyu stated as she pointed out Gu Ping and the others.

She went up and undid the points on the now embarrassed soldiers.

They came before the handsome wolf and gave him a salute. They were meeting a real legendary man in the flesh. They were on a high in this man's presence, however,

"You want the commander to salute you back after you took orders from a heiress!? A damn civilian! You're an utter disgrace. Since that's the case I'll sign off on all your dishonourable discharge papers and you can all come and join this hospital's security team and listen to her all you damn want!"

The military liaison that had come with the handsome wolf shouted out angrily towards the soldiers.

Qin Qianyu shook her head at the men then added,

"Oh right, don't forget the little rat outside of the building, he maybe just a kid, but don't go easy on him. If he has nothing to do with these guys then just hand him over to the police to deal with, stalking people and taking secret photos of people while skulking around in the shadows shouldn't be too hard to prove."

The handsome wolf nodded to her request. Qin Qianyu, settled the people inside the doctors office and the teen stalker. To her, her job was done. She would now leave the rest up to the proper authorities to deal with as she now had more pressing matters to see to.

Figuring out what's happening to grandpa Wú and how she would go about treating him.

The Commander just humph and watched as Qin Qianyu strode right pass him.

Although he looked calm and stoic on the surface, his heart was racing so fast, and his mind was equally in a mess as all he could offer as a retort was a stuttered breath as he humphed.

It only got worst as his eyes zeroed in on her lips as she flashed him a slight smile. To his utter dismay, Qin Qianyu didn't turn around at all, she just left the hospital like a leaf carried by a warm breeze.

When Qin Qianyu was out of sight his eyes changed. The gentleness left instantly and became hardened and cold, then the aura surrounding him became fierce and staunch as he eyed all the people in the room.

Everyone heard what Qin Qianyu had just said, this woke them up, although they didn't fully understand what was going on, they now had a chance to redress some concerns.

The commander was fuming when he looked over the three men that were supposed to aid Qin Qianyu till he got there and not a once in a million chance was missed. He hated them all

When his eyes landed on Gu Ping, the young doctor couldn't help but quiver.

"Sir you must be mistaken, we've done nothing wrong, my boyfriend is a core member of the Azure Dragon Team, he brought my father here to be treated."

Duan Weiwei pleaded to both the handsome wolf and the military liaison. Gu Ping had been panicking when the commander entered the room.

He was hoping that he wouldn't be noticed by the commander until Duan Weiwei opened her mouth and didn't stop.

"Mr Wolf, you seem to be a person high up, you can verify what I'm saying right? My boyfriend is this man here, his name is . . "

The handsome wolf was a little shocked when this other woman called him "wolf" for some reason hearing it come from someone else's lips didn't feel right or good to him.

"Gu Ping,"

He readjusted his thinking and stated clearly with hostility as he both, answered and cut off Duan Weiwei mid sentence.

"Yes that's right! His name is Gu Ping, so you know that there must be a misunderstanding here somewhere,"

The commander didn't even see the pleading look in her eyes as he waved Duan Weiwei off because he was still eyeing Gu Ping.

"Circus clown Gu! Since when have you ever been a core member of my Azure Dragon, Hmm!?"

Duan Weiwei looked at the wolf and Gu Ping in a confused manner, something didn't feel right then the words of the young girl that was here with her grandfather came racing through her mind,

"You're being scammed by this fugly prick and your boyfriend!"

It was made even more prevalent to her when the wolf associated Gu Ping with the circus exactly like the woman with the fox mask.

"Gu Ping? What's going on here? How are you related to these people? . . Was that girl right? Have you been scamming me for the last year and a half!?"

Duan Weiwei didn't want to believe it. Since the pair met 18 months ago, he has always been sweet and honest with her, but now, her mind was truly reeling at this moment.

Then other things started coming to mind, like how her father start becoming less lively and more ill since she met Gu Ping.

Then when he would ask questions about her friend Mingyu. When she thought up to here she was then reminded of what Qin Qianyu asked before she left.

Even though her mind was elsewhere, she still retained the words of the fox masked woman even though she didn't answer.

"Which one of you poison Lu Mingyu?"

Her eyes turned dark as she thought to herself,

"Mingyu was poisoned!? So could the same be true for father as well? Has Gu Ping and this damn hospital . . Has everyone here been trying to kill father and I, off!?"

Duan Weiwei clenched her hands into fists then looked at the doctor, Jing Li then Gu Ping,

Gu Ping said nothing to her, his eyes were fixed to the commander. Duan Weiwei couldn't hold it in any longer, her mind had ticked over one too many times and this tipped over the edge.

"Will someone tell me the damn truth!? What's going on!? You! . . . Who the hell are you huh!? Everything went wrong when that fox and you arrived!"

Duan Weiwei's father went to comfort her and calm her down. She soon realised that she was blaming the wrong people after her outburst, she was about to apologise, however,

The commander looked at the woman and her father. He sighed lightly then with a firm, heavy and commanding voice stated,

"I am Wen Wú Ting, commander of the Azure Dragon Team of the Four Winds."

"I'm here because research was stolen and it seems to be utilised here in this very hospital without authorisation."

"The research and development they've stolen requires funding, a base of operations and finally test subjects. It seems Jing Hospital and its employees have become extremely greedy."

"So to answer your question regarding your boyfriend, I think you have the answer to that in your heart already."

Wen Wú Ting stated matter of factly then he turned to the liaison at his side,

"I've already sent a message to the Vermilion PIT (Phoenix Investigation Team.) they'll be here shortly, they will take care of Gu Ping, you just have to watch over all of them until then."

"The two members of the Duan family are victims and so I've deemed them innocent, cooperate properly with them seeing that they were scammed."

"Yes commander. Sir is there anything else?"

"Mhm, call the base in this city, I'll need to see this mess through, right till the end so I'll need accommodations for the time being."
