Bloody Hospital (19): Learning

The one who ended the chaos was the captain of a mercenary team hired at a high price. He brought bad news to the members of the Aardman family:

“There are multiple armed forces approaching the hospital quickly. How should we respond?”

This bad news was like a heavy hammer that woke up the panicked Aardman family members and made them realize that now was not the time to panic. The situation was far worse than they had previously thought. If they were not careful, there would be no recovery. They must deal with it properly.

The head of the family, Bruce Aardman, and the original hospital director, David Aardman, were both in a coma. The person temporarily elected to be the head of the family was 52-year-old Hicks Aardman, Bruce’s eldest grandson and David’s eldest son.

Hicks quickly figured out that the armed forces rapidly approaching the hospital were actually military forces dispatched by several surrounding countries. The existence of Duowei was recorded in the top-secret files of some countries, so the official national forces responded first.

Hicks looked around at the family members around him and realized clearly that they could not be controlled by any one party alone, otherwise the safety of family members would be at risk.

Fortunately, they were not without any bargaining power at this time. There were 200 security personnel trained by the family and 100 hired professional mercenaries in Aardman Hospital. Although such an armed force was not large, it was still easy to control the entire hospital.

More importantly, there were about 400 patients of distinguished status from all over the world in the hospital. When necessary, these patients would be the best hostages. Especially when the eyes of the whole world were focused here, no armed force dared to act rashly.

As a result, the four hundred patients in the garden were held hostage.

The patients were driven away at gunpoint by the Aardman family’s security personnel. Some were left in the open-air garden, while others were driven to the wards in the inpatient building and were kept under separate supervision.

The poor patients had already had some of their vitality drained away by Duowei, and then they were roughly carried to the garden. Now they were being held at gunpoint. Not only were they unable to receive treatment, they were not even cared for. Some of those with severe symptoms had already collapsed into a coma.

Gao Hexuan found it unbelievable as he watched the Aardman family’s security guards and mercenaries pointing their weapons at the patients. The situation was developing like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, running freely in a completely unpredictable direction.

“I don’t quite understand what they are thinking. Instead of being nicer to the patients and actively trying to save some impressions, they just give up completely. What is their purpose?”

Gao Hexuan looked up the netizens’ passionate comments in confusion. The internet was already in an uproar over this incident, with some netizens even beginning to curse the Aardman family for generations to come.

“They have been admired for too long and cannot accept the collapse of their family’s status. They are fighting desperately for the last chance.”

Xia Ruize sneered. The Aardman family saw their secret exposed and knew that what awaited them was the collapse of their reputation and status. They were unwilling to accept their fate and simply used the lives of 400 patients as bargaining chips for a last-ditch struggle.

Netizens find their behavior incredible, but for the Aardman family, this was a common choice. They were accustomed to and familiar with sending others to death, and other people’s lives were worthless in their hearts.

“I have a feeling there will be a lot of casualties. Xiao Xuan, be prepared. We still have to survive for four days.”

Cheng Huaiqian raised the corner of his mouth. He was not worried at all that the mission would be in turmoil again. Originally, he just needed to deal with Duowei and the others and leave the hospital to hide safely. Now it was just an extra step. He had to deal with the Aardman family before hiding. It was a piece of cake.

Gao Hexuan nodded repeatedly and began to hack into the control system of the armed forces around the hospital, preparing to erase their traces.

Soon, armed forces sent by the four surrounding countries surrounded the Aardman Hospital and then temporarily stopped their operations.

After all, the entire Aardman Hospital was being targeted by countless cameras. These cameras not only exposed the secrets of the Aardman family, but also made various forces wary and dare not be too presumptuous under the attention of the whole world.

If the Aardman family was forced to harm the patients inside, they would also be dragged into the whirlpool of public opinion.

The situation of confrontation among all parties was exactly what the Aardman family wanted to see, so they made a public appeal and demanded the release of the hostages.

The first requirement was to ensure the personal safety of all members of the Aardman family, and no force may restrict their personal freedom for any reason.

Secondly, they demanded that multilateral talks be held in their own countries, so that everyone could put issues on the table and discuss them under the supervision of the whole world.

The forces that first surrounded the Aardman Hospital were of course unwilling to accept such a request. In their view, the Aardman family must know more top-secret information about Duowei that they did not casually reveal, and this information was only valuable when it was in the hands of a few people. If it became public information, what value would it have?

The reason why all the forces rushed to this lawless area and surrounded the Aardman Hospital so quickly was to seize the initiative. Whichever side grasped the members of the Aardman family first would grasp the secret. Who would be willing to let the Aardman family delay time and reduce their advantages?

To be honest, the reason why all parties were so excited and cared so much about Duowei was that they were inspired by the actions of the Aardman family. As long as they cooperated with Duowei, they could stay young and live a long life. For those who hold supreme power but were restricted by their aging bodies, this was a secret that they were willing to explore at all costs.

Since ancient times, those at the pinnacle of power had wanted to pursue immortality, because after experiencing the wonderful taste of power, no one was willing to let go.

Previously, the Aardman family was popular in the upper circles all over the world for their inherited longevity genes and maintenance methods, and everyone wanted to dig out their family secrets from them.

Now, the secret was completely exposed. It turned out that the miracles of Aardman were achieved by external forces. Immediately, the key to the matter became how to seize the external force that the Aardman family relied on and make it their own.

Under the gaze of confused patients and the attention of netizens around the world, the atmosphere around Aardman Hospital became increasingly tense and negotiations reached a deadlock several times.

Suddenly, a bullet fired from nowhere triggered a counterattack from the nervous security personnel in the hospital. It was like a powder keg being ignited, and suddenly, gunshots rang out.

The Aardman family underestimated the determination of various forces. They thought that they held the lives of 400 innocent patients and the various forces would not dare to do anything to them. But in fact, as soon as the gunshots were heard, the attacks from all directions rushed into the hospital. Hicks Aardman, who was hiding in the administrative building, was immediately targeted and killed by a sniper who was deployed somewhere unknown.

The situation became increasingly out of control. The Aardman family’s security personnel were no match for the combined forces of multiple countries. The mercenaries believed that their original employment did not include going to war with the multiple countries’ armed forces. When they found the situation was unfavorable, they retreated into the hospital building to avoid the battle.

The patients who were forgotten in the garden wailed and trembled, completely unable to understand how a good treatment would end up like this. Fortunately, Xia Ruize’s mental power enveloped the entire garden, quietly moving away some bullets that would hit innocent patients, allowing the patients to hide safely in the building to avoid the chaos.

Finally, after sacrificing more than a hundred lives, the two hundred security guards were completely defeated, and the remaining ones laid down their weapons and surrendered.

Aardman Hospital was taken, but the parties did not enter the hospital immediately because the armed forces had disagreements over who was qualified to enter Aardman Hospital first. The temporary alliance that had been formed to jointly attack Aardman Hospital instantly fell apart and opposed each other.

At this moment, another abnormality occurred.

The dozen or so surviving members of the Aardman family were secretly controlled by the mercenaries who had been hiding before.

The mercenaries pointed guns at the members of the Aardman family, dispersed them into more than a dozen small rooms, and began to interrogate them severely. At the same time, they shouted to the various forces outside to delay time.

Previously, the Aardman family used 400 innocent patients as a bargaining chip to prevent the armed forces from taking any action. When the time came to go to war, they attacked without mercy, without considering whether they would accidentally hurt innocent patients.

But now, when the hostages were changed from patients to members of the Aardman family, the various forces guarding outside the hospital became cautious and hesitated, not daring to act rashly. The scene was truly ironic.

Because the real target of all forces was the members of the Aardman family, only from the people of the Aardman family could all the information related to Duowei be obtained.

Cheng Huaiqian, who was sitting on the rooftop and watching the entire incident unfold, couldn’t help but applaud the ups and downs and the extremely exciting plot, shaking his head and sighing:

“I really didn’t expect this. I really underestimated them. Even with so many cameras and people all over the world watching, they can still be so shameless! We are still far behind.”

Xia Ruize saw the scenes of the Aardman family members being tortured and forced to confess, and also saw the stunned expressions of the various forces outside the hospital, with cruel smiles and cold voices:

“Isn’t this good? Aren’t the Aardman family good at playing with other people’s lives? Now let them experience the feeling of being played with.

Don’t those people outside want to control Duowei? I’m sure their expressions will be very interesting when they know that Duowei has completely dissipated and there are no more phantoms in this world. “

Cheng Huaiqian clapped his hands and laughed, “That’s right, that’s right, what we asked for is what we got, this ending is perfect.” Then he suddenly remembered something, “In fact, our harvest can be even more perfect.”

Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize started discussing it, and as they discussed it, they looked at each other and laughed.

Then, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize sent their shadows to the members of the Aardman family who were being tortured, and whispered to them that as long as they told it where the wealth that the Aardman family had secretly hidden was, it would keep them safe.

Most members of the Aardman family had seen the phantom, and were surprised when they heard it, without any doubt. As a result, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian easily obtained the burial location of the massive wealth accumulated by the Aardman family over hundreds of years and the passwords to all bank accounts.

Then they stole the mobile phones from the mercenaries and controlled them remotely, donating all the money in the Aardman family’s account to major medical research foundations, dedicated to promoting the real development of medical technology.
