Chapter 529: Resolving the Guard
"Alright, then we're completely on the same page now. This place should be a hospital ward."
While speaking, Anying began to check out each room, scanning everything into his mind like a surveillance camera.
"Let's go around this place and exit here. There should be a lot of space on that side."
As he spoke, Anying walked over there. Upon arrival, sure enough, he saw a large hall, and in various other directions, there were long corridors.
It felt as if he could sense something akin to a Bagua diagram. At the center was a large circle, from which one could reach various places in multiple directions.
Every area had its function. If they wanted to survey the entire place, they would have to go through each area step by step.
"Heh, I didn't expect the facilities here to be so simple. If that's the case, then I believe creating a map should be even simpler."
"Hey, do you see that? There are people over there."
Upon mentioning this, Ye Chen suddenly pointed in that direction. Maybe at the central position of the hall, there were a few people sitting there, all dressed in white, seemingly on-duty doctors and nurses.
Apart from them, there were also two men in black, standing alert at a crossing, seemingly guarding something.
"What else can we do but handle them right here? Don't worry, leave it to me. Oh, by the way, did we pass by a nurse's office when we were coming here?"
"Yes, it seems we did, but that door should be locked. What's up, do you need to get in? If you do, I can help you unlock it right now."
"I don't need to go in; you go and find me a white coat, the kind worn by the hospital's doctors, then change into it. This way, I can blend in and easily take care of the guards."
"Alright, I got it."
Having said that, Anying nodded and opened a door, which for Anying was oversimplified. Finally, Anying quickly walked forward.
Then, using a hairpin, he easily unlocked the door.
He found a fitting set of clothes inside and handed them over to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen put them on, and lowered his cap intentionally; it seemed as if he really wouldn't be recognized.
"Wait here for me. I'll head over there, and after I've sorted things out, I'll signal you to come over."
"Okay, I got it."
After saying that, he nodded, and then the two of them continued walking in that direction.
He rounded from that circular platform, observing the on-duty doctors and nurses who seemed very tired by then, already resting their heads down, apparently deep in sleep.
It could be felt that the hospital wasn't very busy today, so their guard was quite lax. Judging by the looks of it, tonight would be their best opportunity to act.
Ye Chen walked straight towards the two men. When they approached, the two men suddenly became alert and intercepted Ye Chen at the entrance of the corridor.
"Hey, who are you, and moreover, why don't I seem to recognize you from before?"
"I am new here today and am here to help treat the patients."
"What? New? How come I wasn't informed about this? Wait, let me go check with someone."
As the man prepared to turn around and leave, how could Ye Chen give him such a chance? If he were to report now, Ye Chen's identity would most definitely be compromised.
Just as the moment was delaying, Ye Chen swiftly extended his hand and struck both men hard on their necks.
Those people didn't even realize what was happening, and right after a muffled groan, they directly collapsed on the ground.
Having taken care of them effortlessly, Ye Chen just smiled. Unexpectedly, the guards were so lax.
Subsequently, Ye Chen went over and hid the two men's bodies in a small corridor, making sure they wouldn't be discovered.
He walked to the hall, then signaled Anying by beckoning with his finger, who quickly ran over from that side.
"Nicely done, you handled them without making any noise at all."
"That's to be expected. Anying, we need to be careful. The doctors and nurses are all asleep, and we shouldn't disturb or harm them."
"Okay, I understand. But now, with so many corridors, which way should we go?"
"The two men were only guarding one of the corridors, so I suspect that this corridor might lead to an important person. Could it be the Yang Wenyu we have been looking for?"
"Yang Wenyu? That would be great. If that's the case, we can confirm his presence inside. Let's go check it out and it will all be clear."
As they spoke, the two of them quickly moved towards that direction. As they passed by, Ye Chen took a quick glance, and suddenly Anying stopped.
"What's the problem?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this room should be the central control room for the entire underground structure, meaning all the surveillance and security systems are connected here. So now, we need to take control of this room to leave no traces behind."
"Alright, that's simple, let's just go in."
After finishing speaking, Anying nodded, and finally, Ye Chen stepped forward and gently pressed the doorbell.
"Coming, who is it?"
Listening to the voice inside, it seemed somewhat groggy, indicating the person was not fully awake and not likely to come out so quickly.
