Following the crowd out of the terminal at Guangshen International Airport, Lin Jie couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Where is everyone? Where is the person picking me up?
Why can't I see anyone holding up a sign?
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, Lin Jie saw a hint of blue coming towards him.
Turning to look, he saw a tall woman in a light blue short skirt suit and high-heeled crystal sandals, walking towards him with a faint smile.
"Hello, hello! Welcome, welcome to Guangshen!"
"Are you the one..."
As he looked at this woman, heavily made-up and wearing a strong perfume, who was approaching him, Lin Jie instinctively felt displeased.
But since the other party had already extended her hand, Lin Jie felt it would be rude to refuse.
"I'm Lin Jie from Binhai!"
Lin Jie introduced himself in a single sentence, then extended his hand, preparing for a light handshake as a formality.
Just as their hands were about to meet, Guan Muhua, standing slightly behind Lin Jie, suddenly stepped forward, reached out swiftly, and gripped the woman's wrist joint like a claw!
The sudden turn of events caused a drastic change in the woman's expression.
Lin Jie was also a bit taken aback.
At that moment, Guan Muhua twisted his wrist, flipping over the woman's right hand.
A flash of fluorescence appeared.
Embedded in the base of the woman's ring finger was a half-centimeter long, luminous, steel hollow needle.
Seeing this, Lin Jie immediately understood that this woman harbored malicious intent.
He immediately took a step back, moving behind Guan Muhua for protection.
On Lin Jie's other side, Qin Gang also stepped forward to shield Lin Jie, watching the people around them with vigilance.
At this time, the woman's face showed fear, and she suddenly shouted, "Help, someone is being a hooligan..."
Halfway through her shout, it was replaced by a scream.
Guan Muhua applied more force, twisting again, causing the woman to screech and shout nonstop.
People around instantly cleared away, with many stopping in the distance, gazing in this direction.
After recovering from the shock, Lin Jie shouted, "Call the police!"
In fact, they didn't need to call the police because two officers were already running over.
The two police officers cautiously approached, and after Guan Muhua showed them the steel hollow needle on the woman's ring, and briefly explained the situation, they relaxed a bit.
Then the police carefully removed the ring from the woman's hand and placed it into an evidence bag.
Subsequently, they escorted the woman, along with Lin Jie and others, to the airport police station.
After verifying identities and taking statements, a police officer named Tang Hao came to meet Lin Jie and his companions.
"Dr. Lin, that woman confessed quite readily; according to her, the steel needle contained a high-concentration anesthetic!"
Tang Hao said with a smile, "She confessed that seeing you were young and dressed in all brand-name clothes..."
"She thought you were a rich young man traveling alone, so she targeted you, planning to knock you out, steal your valuables, and then extract your account passwords and so on."
"Dr. Lin, we'll test the contents in the needle and further verify the woman's identity and criminal actions..."
Lin Jie couldn't help but scrutinize his own outfit.
A light-colored casual short-sleeve shirt, trousers, and leather shoes, all Dior brand—these were all bought by An Kexin.
These clothes he was wearing were either bought by An Kexin or Lin Miao and Zhang Xiaoxiao, so he never had to worry about them.
Lin Jie couldn't help but shake his head, surprised that this attire had made him a target for criminals.
Tang Hao squinted his eyes, sizing up Guan Muhua and Qin Gang, and asked, "Military?"
"Used to be!"
Tang Hao happily said, "I also come from a demobilized military background."
"That unlucky woman probably didn't realize you were together in the outbound crowd; otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to act against your companion even with borrowed courage..."
Exiting the airport police station, Qin Gang cautiously said, "Lin Jie, this could be a random incident, or perhaps it was premeditated."
"And the person picking us up has yet to appear. Should we directly return to Binhai?"
Guan Muhua suddenly spoke, "The person picking us up is here!"
Lin Jie looked in the direction he indicated and saw a young man running towards them!
This guy had close-cropped hair, glasses, and a round face, exaktly matching the photo sent from the contact at the tumor hospital.
"Sorry, really sorry!"
The young man wiped the sweat from his forehead while apologizing, "My car had a minor collision with another on the way, the other party wouldn't let go, so I'm late."
"Really sorry, truly sorry."
Qin Gang leaned close to Lin Jie and whispered, "It's too much of a coincidence; perhaps the collision was intentional!"
Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Qin Gang, you're overthinking it!"
"Think about it, if the person picking us up hadn't been delayed, would I have been a target for that woman? It was because the collision happened first, causing a delay, making me their target."
Lin Jie confidently said, "It wasn't because I became a target first, and then the collision occurred."
"Let's go, the sooner we get to the tumor hospital, finish the surgery, the sooner we can go home..."
Guangshen Tumor Hospital is located in the city's South Suburb, a top-tier hospital nestled amidst scenic mountains and waters.
As soon as Lin Jie got out of the car, Mou Zhexing, who was already waiting, came forward to greet him with someone.
"Dr. Lin, sorry for the scare."
Mou Zhexing said seriously, "I apologize that your first impression of Guangshen isn't too good."
