Chapter 611 Ethan Took Action
Day Sixty-Nine…
~~*****~~
[ At Zhou's Hospital… ]
The moon hung low in the night sky, casting a dim, silvery glow over Zhou's hospital building. Most of the patients were already sleeping since it was almost midnight.
A group of men converged near the hospital's entrance. Their faces were concealed beneath the shadows of hooded jackets and caps. These men already had one important mission– to take Phantomflake without alerting anyone. Phoenix was the one leading the group.
Phoenix and his team knew that slipping in and out unnoticed required precision, timing, and strategy. The VIP ward and its vicinity were heavily guarded. They must avoid an encounter with those elite guards.
Phoenix brought the drawn floor plan. In whispered tones, he shared the route they would take to reach Jane's VIP Ward. They went to the restroom, changing their clothes into hospital uniforms so that they could blend inside. This was their way of avoiding the guards and nurses roving around.
With their goal in mind, they moved through the corridors of the hospital, making their way to the VIP floor. Finally, Phoenix and two of his men arrived at their destination. Two guards were standing outside.
"We are going to change her IV drip," Phoenix, who was disguised as a male nurse, approached the guards.
The two guards stared at him for a moment. There was a scene of tension building up around them.
"You are new. This is the first time I saw you here." One guard spoke up, staying on high alert.
The other guard held his weapon, also scrutinizing Phoenix from head to toe. Nathan ordered them not to let anyone enter the room except for the designated doctor and nurses assigned to Jane. The male nurse in front of them was a new face.
'I guess. We have no choice but to knock these guards down.' Phoenix tossed a glance in the direction of his men, hiding in the corridors.
The guards' suspicions grew stronger as Phoenix maintained his silence. Just as they were on the verge of taking action, Phoenix and his two subordinates sprang into action. Swiftly, they administered a sedative by injecting it into the guards' necks with syringes. The sedative took effect immediately, making the two guards pass out.
Phoenix and his team quickly entered the room. It was bathed in the soft glow of monitors and medical equipment. Jane lay unconscious in the hospital bed. Machines beeped and hummed rhythmically. It was the only sound they could hear inside.
They encircled the bed. With a silent nod, they swiftly and expertly disconnected the medical apparatus, each man knowing their role perfectly. They moved quickly but cautiously, lifting Jane onto a gurney, careful not to jostle any tubes or wires that might sound the alarm.
But little did they know, someone was watching them. Little Ethan was hiding in the bathroom. He woke up because of Bam-Bam. He warned him that suspicious people had come to the hospital. And they fought the guards outside.
'No! I can't let them take away my Mom.' Ethan thought to himself. He called his father. Fortunately, Nathan was still awake as he answered the call just after a few rings.
"Dad! Help! Some suspicious men are trying to take away Miss Jane! They are on the move now!" Ethan informed his father in his panicking tone.
Nathan was shocked when he heard that. He already presumed that those people came from the King Stallion Mafia. He didn't expect that they would be able to find Jane's location. How did it happen?
"Ethan, listen to me. I'm on my way now. Just stay hiding and don't do something reckless. Call Mr. Ah. He is the head guard assigned to watch and keep Jane safe." Nathan dispatched fifteen men to guard the VIP wards. Who would have thought the members of King Stallion could still escape their watch?
"Dad! They are going to leave now. I can't stay still!" Ethan ended the call even before Nathan could stop him.
The young boy pushed the door open, showing himself to the men. "Stop that! You can't take her away!"
"Ethan! Why?! You never listen!" Bam-Bam facepalmed because of Ethan's action.
Phoenix and his men were about to exit the room when Ethan's appearance surprised them, freezing them in their tracks. Three pairs of eyes were staring at him in disbelief.
"Boss. there is a kid. What are we going to do with him?" One man asked Phoenix.
Phoenix recognized the little boy. It was Ethan Sparks. "Catch him," Phoenix ordered the other guy.
But Ethan didn't show any fear. He maintained his brave front and said. "Do you think you can escape from here? My Dad and his men are on their way. You are all going to be caught!" Ethan was just trying to buy more time. He didn't know if the guards were on the way. But he already sent a message to Mr. Ah. The two men exchanged anxious glances. They couldn't afford to be caught by Nathan's men.
Phoenix, on the other hand, kept calm. "Don't worry, young master. You will be the one who can help us escape here. We can use you as our bargaining chip."
Phoenix's subordinate finally approached Ethan, catching him. Ethan didn't struggle. He thought it was best for him to accompany Jane. He couldn't let them take her away alone. After securing Ethan, they continued their silent retreat, navigating the maze of corridors, stairwells, and elevators. Their adrenaline surged with each step, aware that one wrong move could shatter their meticulous plan.
They could hear the footsteps coming their way. The guards were already notified and they were chasing after them now.
"We should move. Alpha team, block the men who are chasing after us." Phoenix instructed his other men who would cover for them. This was their contingency plan if their first plan would be compromised.
Finally, Phoenix and his men reached the hospital's exit. Jane and Ethan were loaded into a waiting vehicle.
'Dad! Where are you?!' Ethan secretly opened the tracking app, sending signals to his father's phone. He also hid his phone so that Phoenix wouldn't throw it away.
'Dad… come and save us.' Ethan murmured to himself.
