Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1521 Going and Returning

Xu Chunliang thought to himself that all the signs indicated that Xue Renzhong must have also set his sights on the underwater sunken city. His Netherworld Cold Poison was most likely found in the underwater sunken city. According to him, he did not go there alone. Although Xue Renzhong insisted that everyone else was dead, the possibility that someone was still alive could not be ruled out.

Although Zhou Yangming is his cousin, his appearance may not be as simple as recognizing relatives.

Xu Chunliang asked, "Are you planning to persuade him to go with you to uncover the secrets of the underwater sunken city?"

Mo Han nodded: "Everyone has their own expertise. Archaeology and tomb exploration are not our strengths. Zhou Yang has a long and distinguished family background. If he joins us, this matter will definitely be much more efficient."

Xu Chunliang said, "The risk is too great, it's better not to involve him."

Mo Han asked, "What if he joins on his own initiative?"

Her gaze was fixed on the door, just as Zhou Yangming pushed it open and walked in.

Xu Chunliang secretly praised her, noting that Mo Han's perception had indeed made a leap forward after she reached the Innate Realm.

Zhou Yangming said, "So it turns out I was the last one to arrive."

Mo Han said meaningfully, "It's never too late as long as you're here."

Zhou Yangming said to Xu Chunliang, "There's someone outside who wants to see you."

"who?"

Zhou Yangming shook his head: "I don't know him. He said he's your friend."

Xu Chunliang told the two to order first, then got up and went outside. He thought it was an old friend from Weishan Island, but when he saw the person, he realized it was Liu Haiyu. Xu Chunliang couldn't help but sigh: "Old Liu, wasn't I clear enough on the boat?"

Liu Haiyu chuckled and said, "I wouldn't be looking for you if I didn't need something."

Xu Chunliang nodded: "Speak quickly, there are other guests waiting inside."

Liu Haiyu asked, "Did you just go to the dock to see someone off?"

Xu Chunliang frowned and said, "You were following me?"

Liu Haiyu shook his head: "I'm not stalking you."

Xu Chunliang thought to himself, if they're not following me, then they're following Su Qing. It seems Su Tianyu was right.

Liu Haiyu asked, "Miss Su has left?"

Xu Chunliang warned him, "You'd better not make any moves on her."

Liu Haiyu laughed: "Don't worry, we would never do anything to harm Miss Su. I'm just here to ask if you know where Miss Su is right now?"

Xu Chunliang was taken aback. Could it be that they had already made a move against Su Qing? It shouldn't be like that, in broad daylight, especially with Su Tianyu protecting her in the shadows.

Nevertheless, Xu Chunliang was still somewhat worried.

Liu Haiyu suggested, "Why don't you give her a call and ask?"

Although Xu Chunliang was annoyed by Liu Haiyu's meddling, out of concern for Su Qing, he still went aside and made a phone call to her.

The call connected immediately, and Su Qing said softly, "Chunliang, I'm on the train in Dongzhou. Don't worry about me."

Xu Chunliang said, "It's good that you're alright. Don't forget to call me when you get there."

Su Qing hummed in agreement.

Xu Chunliang hung up the phone, and Liu Haiyu came over with a smile, raising his phone. The screen showed Su Qing getting off the boat at Weishan Island Wharf, and then she got into an elderly mobility scooter.

Xu Chunliang checked the time; it was half an hour ago. This meant that Su Qing had arrived at the Guquan Town dock by boat and then immediately returned. When Xu Chunliang saw her off, he hadn't anticipated that she would come back.

If Liu Haiyu hadn't come and told him about it, he would still be in the dark.

Xu Chunliang asked, "Where is she now?"

"She should be with her father."

"You came all this way just to tell me this?"

Liu Haiyu said, "It wasn't my idea to come here. Someone sent me. The organization will soon take action against Su Tianyu. We have already surrounded Su Tianyu. It will be very dangerous for Miss Su to be with him."

"You mean he'll use Su Qing to blackmail you?" Xu Chunliang realized that Su Tianyu's initiative to find him was a setup, but his behavior today was clearly abnormal. If he truly cared about his daughter, why would he come to the island to look for Su Qing? He should know that he himself is the biggest threat to Su Qing's safety.

Liu Haiyu said, "Su Tianyu can't leave. Once a person is in dire straits, he will do anything crazy. Miss Su is in a very dangerous situation right now."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Where are they?"

Liu Haiyu said, "The Second People's Hospital of Binhu New Area." The Second People's Hospital of Binhu New Area is the former Weishan Island Hospital, which is where Xu Chunliang used to work.

Xu Chunliang was very familiar with the place. Back when Gu Houyi was the president, he had defied public opinion and turned Hushan Town People's Hospital into a branch of Changxing Hospital, bringing it under the management of Changxing Hospital. Later, Zhao Feiyang succeeded Gu Houyi as president, and Huanian Group acquired Changxing, naturally taking over Weishan Island Hospital.

Huanian Group failed to recognize the long-term potential of Weishan Island Hospital. Due to poor management, the first hospital it sold was Weishan Island Hospital.

Later, Equator Capital joined forces with Mutian Group to take over Weishan Island Hospital and acquire surrounding land. Equator Capital was the investor, while Mutian Group was responsible for the specific operation and management.

On the surface, Mutian Group aims to create a new health center integrating medical care and elderly care, but in reality, it is still engaged in cultural tourism business.

After the establishment of Binhu New Area, Mei Ruxue, who was very familiar with the situation on Weishan Island, proposed the necessity of having a local hospital on Weishan Island and redefined that the hospital on Weishan Island should focus on medical treatment and supplement it with health care.

Later, the hospital was simply separated from the health and wellness center. Although Mutian Group was unwilling, it had no choice but to comply due to local pressure.

The Weishan Island Hospital has been completely renovated. The entire hospital is newly built and is six times larger than before. The outpatient and emergency building alone is larger than the old hospital.

Currently, Weishan Island Hospital is an internship base of Dongzhou Medical College Affiliated Hospital and a key unit they support. It is said that they intend to bring it under their wing and make it one of their affiliated hospitals.

Although the hospital's hardware facilities are fully up-to-date, the geographical environment of Weishan Island means that there are not many patients. The hospital's huge parking lot is empty, and it can almost be described as deserted.

After learning from Liu Haiyu that Su Qing had returned, Xu Chunliang immediately decided to go and find her.

Liu Haiyu wasn't exaggerating. Now that they had pinpointed Su Tianyu's location, they wouldn't easily cancel the operation today. Su Qing was definitely facing significant risks while by Su Tianyu's side.

Xu Chunliang rode in Liu Haiyu's car to the hospital. On the way, he called Su Qing again, but this time Su Qing did not answer.

Su Qing was on the rooftop of the newly built hospital ward building when Su Tianyu, having finished observing the surroundings, came to her side, reached out and stroked his daughter's hair, saying with deep emotion, "You've grown up."

With red-rimmed eyes, Su Qing looked at her father and asked, "Dad, what happened? Why did you suddenly leave me? Why did you choose to live this life of hiding?"

Su Tianyu sat down next to the elevator and patted the hard floor beside him: "Come sit down."

Su Qing sat down next to her father. Just then, her phone rang. It was Xu Chunliang calling.

Su Tianyu gestured for her not to answer, and Su Qing hung up the phone.

Su Tianyu said, "Girl, I am not a good father. I have caused you too much trouble and made you suffer so much."

Su Qing said softly, "Dad, we are father and daughter, there's no need to say such things."

Su Tianyu said, "I didn't want to cause you any more trouble after I left, but I still miss you and want to see you one last time before I leave this world."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing's pretty face immediately turned pale: "Dad, you're perfectly fine, you don't need to say such things."

Su Tianyu said, "Since ancient times, no one has ever escaped death. I am not a god who can live forever. My child, I have no inheritance to leave you. All I can leave you is the power I have gained in this half of my life."

Su Qing looked at Su Tianyu in confusion. Although she knew that her father had many secrets, she simply couldn't understand what he was saying.

Su Tianyu said, "I'll have Xu Chunliang explain it to you slowly when there's a chance later."

"Innocent?"

Su Tianyu nodded, then suddenly reached out and touched Su Qing's body. Su Qing was instantly immobilized, as if she had been frozen in place.

Su Tianyu sighed and said, "Daughter, I shouldn't say goodbye to you in this way, but I have no other choice. All my internal energy was not cultivated by myself, but was given to me by a strange man. Although I gained powerful martial arts overnight, this method of transferring power has greatly damaged my body."

Su Tianyu paused for a moment, then patted Su Qing's face with some pity: "It's not that I'm a heartless father, but as long as I'm alive, I can protect you in secret. If I die, who can protect you? I will pass on all my inner strength to you. Although you will face the tribulation of inner strength backlash in the future, Xu Chunliang should be able to help you resolve it."

Su Qing could neither move nor speak; she could only gaze longingly at her father.

After saying this, Su Tianyu picked up Su Qing's phone and called Xu Chunliang.

After the call connected, Su Tianyu said, "Tell them that I have hostages and that I have planted a bomb in the hospital. If anyone dares to break in, I will destroy the entire hospital."

Xu Chunliang gasped, "Don't be impulsive, let Su Qing talk to me."

Su Tianyu said, "Give me two hours. I don't care what method you use, you have to do it." He then hung up the phone.

Liu Haiyu had already driven to the hospital entrance. Before their arrival, people had already begun evacuating the hospital. Fortunately, there weren't many patients at the moment. Nevertheless, it was impossible to determine in a short time whether all personnel had been evacuated.

As soon as Xu Chunliang and Liu Haiyu got out of the car, someone came up to Liu Haiyu and reported to him: "Director Liu, the evacuation of all personnel in the hospital has begun. According to the information we have, the suspect and the hostage are currently on the rooftop of the ward building."

Liu Haiyu nodded: "Find out how many hostages the suspect has, arrange for explosives experts to search every corner of the hospital."

"Yes!"
