Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2655 - 2591: Father and Daughter Join Forces

"I refuse to go back! Does this hospital only serve the wealthy? In the dead of night, simply because of a nightmare, they intend to drag me out! They are so aggressive; they're surely planning to secretly eliminate me! Waaah, it's utterly terrifying!"

Chiang Xiao wailed continuously as she fled outdoors, her pace quite brisk. This was, in no uncertain terms, her chance to abscond. Remaining would only invite recapture.

"Pursue her posthaste!" Lu Junyou barked at the two bodyguards, deeming them utterly incompetent.

"Yes, Master!"

The two bodyguards immediately gave chase.

Chiang Xiao's speed escalated dramatically, her cries for assistance echoing as she ran.

"Aaaah! Don't seize me! I vow never to linger near your ward again! Please don't kill me!" Chiang Xiao's shrill screams and desperate pleas served to rouse numerous sleeping individuals.

A door creaked open, revealing the spectacle of two men in dark attire pursuing a woman clad in a hospital gown.

The woman's sobs were wrenching, her voice quivering with profound terror.

An instinct to protect surged within the onlookers.

Soon, individuals stepped forward, forming a barrier to impede the bodyguards.

"Who are you? Why are you chasing a young lady in the dead of night? Do you intend to commit murder?"

"No, no, it isn't..."

"Then explain yourselves! You've frightened her dreadfully; what justification do you offer?"

"Precisely! This is outrageous! Are you planning to exploit the quiet to perpetrate some foul deed against her?"

"Everyone, help detain them!"

Chiang Xiao registered the commotion behind her, a faint smile gracing her lips. Nevertheless, she maintained her swift pace, exiting the hospital premises and vanishing into the night.

Upon locating a secluded, shadowy alcove, she discreetly slipped into her spatial dimension. There, she immediately collapsed onto the ground, pouring herself a draught of Spirit Spring Water.

The consumption of the sweet, mystical water instantly soothed her raw, aching throat.

To project her voice with such intensity, she had expended every ounce of her energy.

Yet, the effort had proven worthwhile.

Contemplating the prospect of Old Man Lu's impending agitation brought a robust laugh bubbling forth as she slapped her thigh.

Did they truly believe she would seek refuge in the hospital under the guise of weakness to attain peace?

Was feigning illness a ploy to burden her great-grandfather and father with Lu Shuangshuang's 'rescue'?

Absolutely not.

If one is ill, one should be genuinely afflicted!

She mused, however, whether her great-grandfather and father would seize this opportune moment, upon hearing of the night's events, to initiate measures that might sway public opinion.

Jiang Shiheng, it transpired, had not neglected his duties in letting Chiang Xiao down.

Indeed, it was inconceivable that he would fail to arrange for surveillance of Old Master Lu once the latter was admitted to that exclusive, foreign-funded medical facility.

Just as the dramatic episode here reached its conclusion, detailed intelligence was already en route to Jiang Shiheng.

Jiang Shiheng paused momentarily, his gaze growing more profound.

"From whence did this young lady emerge? To orchestrate such a commotion at precisely the opportune juncture?"

"Reporting to Sixth Young Master, Lu Junyou also reviewed the woman's consultation records on multiple occasions. He stated she has been long afflicted by nightmares and persistent headaches. Recently, there was suspicion of a growth within her brain, prompting hospitalization. An examination was scheduled for early tomorrow morning."

Thus, the girl's long-standing headaches and nightmares were already a source of considerable distress. For merely shouting a few times, without any proper discussion, the Lu Family's bodyguards sought to forcibly remove her?

They even moved to forcibly drag the girl away.

Being forcibly extracted by two burly men in the middle of the night would undoubtedly have terrified her half to death, wouldn't it?
