About ten guards scoured the hospital building, leaving no stone unturned.
Eventually, they found something curious in the second floor's female washroom. A rope that was made out of strips of towels was tied to the window railing. Using it, one could drop down to the floor below.
The guards stood at the window and when they raised their eyes towards the rising sun, they could even see a limping figure running out of the hospital grounds.
Damn it, she got away!
"Attention, the target has left the building. She is heading towards the hospital gate, regroup and pursue!" ordered one of the guards through his walkie-talkie.
The group of guards quickly reformed and ran to catch up to Xinghe.
Xinghe didn't dare to slow down. She ran the best she could even though every sharp intake of breath was a knife that pierced at her lungs. Finally, she broke through the hospital gate and found herself by the side of the road. She could hear the group of guards closing in on her.
