Chapter 598 Hospital
Chapter 598 Hospital
Two hours later.
Repetitive whopping blades drummed in the background. Sitting alongside her companion, the little girl, referred to by Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi as ignorant, became bored. Initially, riding a helicopter and the rotary chopping intrigued her. There were tiny slits of glass on the sides where she could view everything outside. However, because the location was in a rural area, not many light sources were reflected. It was dark and lonely.
The others were soon asleep, exhausted mentally and physically. Perhaps being ignorant was a benefit for her. She had no worries and trusted others easily. She knew she was going back home very soon. She decided to roam around to satisfy her curiosity. She had suppressed herself since entering the cabin. There was also a small ladder in the middle. She had no idea where it led to, but it didn't stop her from being inquisitive.
Although the interior spacing was a little crowded, with her small body, she climbed up and reached another room. But she had to bow to avoid hitting her head.
"Wow!" What she witnessed was truly magical.
In front of her, covered by an additional glass layer, she could observe the pilot's movement from a slight height advantage. Outward, her eyes captured what the pilot saw: a mesmerizing city landscape from afar. Layers of light sources aligned in a great formation along the main road. A dazzling collection of lights from multiple buildings. The combination of these illuminated the night sky.
It appeared that the helicopter still hadn't reached the urban infrastructure yet because only tiny speckles could be seen.
"Why don't you sleep like the others? Are you bored?" A woman's voice interrupted her dazed state.
"Ah, yes. I'm sorry, I hope I didn't disturb you," the girl replied.
"It's okay."
"How do I address you, Miss Pilot?"
"Athena."
"Codename Athena?"
"Hmm." Athena didn't elaborate and eased the conversation. The rapport between the young girl and her naturally deepened.
With someone to talk to, the girl became energetic and sometimes asked about those weird buttons and screens. Athena explained them briefly. She wasn't worried about disclosing any secrets. She could redirect the topic elsewhere whenever the conversation touched on sensitive subjects.
She liked conversing with the girl, who also discovered that she and Athena matched. She begged for Athena's contact, and the latter replied that she could chat online later.
An armed gunship, newly developed and designed for war. What sort of normal businessperson owned these war machines? Ling Qingyu just did it, and she showed off without any purpose of hiding.
Should they be grateful and glad that Ling Qingyu shared a few of her secrets? If her friend, General Tang, were here, she would definitely pressure her to obtain the aircraft's information.
Fortunately, everybody here was related to Ling Qingyu, and their shared interest meant that the news could be successfully hidden. As for the other doctors and nurses, nobody raised any questions, attributing the aircraft to an experimental model, secrets from the military. No one liked getting involved with the military because of their curiosity.
All hidden problems were solved before they exploded. Gu Yi began to disclose everything about her deal with Ling Qingyu to Yang Qingyue while following a group of medical professionals. They came here because Ling Qingyu also called her mother-in-law to inform her about the successful rescue. The primary objective had been achieved when Athena landed the aircraft at the hospital.

Gu Yi was overjoyed when she heard the news from the phone call and rushed to the hospital with her daughter, who reacted with a puzzled mood but followed her mother's orders.
Gu Yi felt that her trip to Province N and meeting with Ling Qingyu were worth it. So many good deals and the best compromises were reached between the two parties, cooperating seamlessly. Understanding each other's aspirations, Gu Yi was certain that her enemies and Ling Qingyu's would tremble with fear very soon.
Of course, Gu Yi couldn't rush to the hospital straightaway, and there was no need after she received Ling Qingyu's call. Her protection measures had to be absolute. Ling Qingyu couldn't afford any risk because of her ministerial position, not to mention Gu Yi was also her future mother-in-law.
Xiao Yue sent several teams of Spirit Fox operators to escort and protect Gu Yi. On the rooftop, there were two teams of snipers, overwatching the surroundings from the height advantage. They were also gossiping about the aircraft and wondered when they would have the chance to ride.
Downstairs, many key areas were guarded by Spirit Fox operators. Four Aegises parked at several gateways, checking the entry and exit vigilantly.
A few more SUVs were stationed nearby as well. They patrolled the nearby radius to ensure they had control around the hospital, including building blocks and streets.
Two hundred fifty operators participated to protect Gu Yi from harm, which made the latter speechless yet grateful for the effort. She believed even the head of state wouldn't receive this kind of treatment under an incognito visit.
No one in Province N related the heavy presence of Spirit Fox to serious issues. They were desensitized tremendously, bombarded with daily missions and successes of Spirit Fox. A mere increase in sentries didn't mean much to the public.
...
At the same time, when the good news reached the military superiors cooperating with Tang Ziyi, they burst and jumped in joy, especially after Gu Yi confirmed the arrival of two important primary objectives.
However, the elation didn't last long as General Tang cussed out loud. "What do you mean, they won't retreat?"
"General..." Her secretary stammered and explained quickly. Obviously, no one wanted to be scolded because they were stuck for words. Even if the aura of a superior suppressed and instilled fear, survival instinct urged their mouths to move fast.
