Chapter 153 The Enemy Has Taken the Bait!
After a while, the sounds in the ward suddenly stopped.
The closed door to the ward creaked open.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of footsteps could be heard in the ward.
At this moment, the old man in the Tang suit had already fainted, leaning back in his chair. Su Niannian was lying next to the hospital bed, close to where Chief Lu was receiving an IV drip.
Zhou Qishan and Gu Nan were both leaning back in their chairs in the ward's rest area.
The person who came in moved quietly.
Looking around the room, everyone was in a deep sleep.
Only then did he slowly approach the hospital bed and stand next to the IV drip.
Because she was very close to Su Niannian, Su Niannian could clearly hear someone standing next to her.
Su Niannian squinted her eyes and a pair of black leather shoes came into view.
If you look up a little, you can see a corner of a doctor's white coat.
Seeing that it was safe, the person took out a syringe from his pocket, raised his arm, and prepared to inject the solution into the IV drip.
In that instant, Gu Nan appeared before Su Niannian like a gust of wind.
But Su Niannian was faster; she stood up and grabbed the man's wrist.
With a forceful pull to the side, the man's arm arced out and was directly choked behind his back by Su Niannian.
The syringe in the man's hand also fell to the ground.
Su Niannian kicked the man in the hind leg.
As the momentum carried him, the man felt pain in his leg and immediately knelt on one knee.
"..."
Su Niannian's movements were so skillful that they could only be described as practiced.
Moreover, Gu Nan was familiar with this move; it was frequently used when apprehending criminals.
So... who taught Su Niannian this trick?
Not only that, there was also the pig's trotter knot from before...
Gu Nan recalled his previous questions, but now was not the time to think about them.
Gu Nan still took the person from Su Niannian.
Gu Nan grabbed the man in the doctor's coat, put his hands behind his back, and pushed him to the side. Gu Nan then pressed down on him.
Su Niannian looked at the syringe on the ground and picked it up casually.
There was no text on it, and the injection itself was a pale purple.
"Who sent you?" The old man in the Tang suit stood up at this moment, frowning and asking sternly.
Unlike his conversation with Su Niannian, this voice was surprisingly serious.
"What are you doing? I'm a doctor, I'm here to administer medication to a patient!" Although the man was flustered for a moment when he was grabbed, he quickly calmed down.
"A doctor?" Gu Nan naturally didn't think that someone who came in so suspiciously, holding a syringe of some unknown substance, was a doctor.
When Zhou Qishan came over, he saw that it was clearly a new face.
At that moment, the ward door opened again, and several soldiers walked in.
The leader's identity was clearly extraordinary.
"Commander Tan?" Zhou Qishan clearly recognized the man.
"Yes, I heard that Chief Lu had surgery today, so I came here specifically to see him."
"What's going on here?" asked the man called Commander Tan, looking at the situation before him.
"Something was added to our food in an attempt to drug us and harm Commander Lu. This is the person we just caught," Zhou Qishan hurriedly told Brigade Commander Tan.
Because Brigade Commander Tan is also one of Commander Lu's subordinates.
"Oh? Is that so?" Brigade Commander Tan frowned, his already dark face becoming even more gloomy.
"Don't listen to their nonsense. I am a doctor from the First People's Hospital. I came in to change Chief Lu's dressing."
The doctor, who was being suppressed by Gu Nan, spoke up, his tone feigning innocence.
"I will investigate the facts," Commander Tan said, waving his hand and letting his men in.
The person Gu Nan had captured was taken away.
"I'll take the man down first; we'll surely get some information out of him. Leave this to me," Commander Tan continued.
Although it was Su Niannian's first time meeting this Brigade Commander Tan, she felt that there was something strange about him.
It's as if they knew something in advance.
They came to see Chief Lu, but haven't asked a single question about him since they came in.
It felt like they deliberately came to take away the person who was going to drug them.
Su Niannian wasn't sure if it was just her imagination.
However, the syringe he was holding was still discovered by Brigade Commander Tan.
"Is this what he was trying to add to Commander Lu's medicine bottle?" Commander Tan asked, looking at Su Niannian.
Su Niannian didn't want to answer because she felt that Commander Tan was acting strangely, but she couldn't answer.
He nodded.
"Give me the sample, and I'll have it tested."
As Brigade Commander Tan spoke, he took two steps forward and reached out for the injection in Su Niannian's hand.
Su Niannian didn't want to give it away, feeling that if she gave it to this man, there would be no evidence left.
However, the elderly man in the Tang suit nodded to Su Niannian, indicating that she should hand him the injection.
Since her grandfather had already asked her to give it to him, Su Niannian handed him the syringe.
"And your food, I'll have it tested too." Commander Tan said, waving his hand again.
Two soldiers came in, packed up the food they had already opened and eaten, and took it out.
This series of actions deepened the group's suspicions about him.
But Commander Lu is still unconscious. He is the highest-ranking military officer here, and there's nothing they can do about it.
Just do it.
"Who are you people?" After the evidence and the people were taken away, Brigade Commander Tan asked Su Niannian and Gu Nan.
"These are soldiers that Commander Lu used to lead. They stayed here to take care of Commander Lu. That little girl is his fiancée," the old man in the Tang suit said from the side.
Brigade Commander Tan was clearly thinking about something.
"It's best not to leave any unauthorized personnel here. I will send someone to look after Chief Lu."
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan naturally objected and frowned.
"They stayed here because Commander Lu personally instructed them to," the old man in the Tang suit said again.
This time, Brigade Commander Tan didn't say anything more, and just gave the two of them a cold look.
"Then please take care of things here, sir. I'll go and interrogate that person first, and have someone test the injection and food." Commander Tan said, nodding to the old man in the Tang suit.
He turned and left the ward.
After Brigade Commander Tan left, Zhou Qishan spoke first.
“I think Brigade Commander Tan is acting a bit strange today,” Zhou Qishan said, looking at the old man in the Tang suit.
The elderly man in the Tang suit remained silent.
Su Niannian and Gu Nan exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
This person came over, saying he wanted to visit the sick, but he didn't show any interest in Chief Lu's condition.
Instead, they took the suspect and the evidence away directly.
I have a feeling this person isn't up to any good.
Gu Nan had probably never met this brigade commander surnamed Tan before, so he was unaware of his character.
However, judging from the way he handled things, this person also has problems.
