Chapter 18 -18: There’s a Bomb in the Ward
Shen Yurou watched everyone surround Qingwu with concern and care; she felt both angry and jealous.
Clearly, she was also a daughter of the Shen Family, so why couldn’t she receive the same treatment?
Qingwu was thoroughly checked by the whole family from top to bottom.
Shen Dongli, seeing Shen Yurou still standing there, waved his hand, “Yurou, your sister is back now, you should leave.”
Shen Yurou swallowed the tears in her eyes and reluctantly walked away.
It was all Qingwu’s fault!
Why did she have to come back and take everything away from her?
Shen Yurou headed straight to Mrs. Shen’s hospital room, crying uncontrollably as soon as she entered and leaned beside her.
“Grandma, what did I do wrong? I saw my sister being kidnapped and rushed to tell mom and dad, even broke my phone, yet they didn’t believe me and drove me away!”
Mrs. Shen opened her eyes, her sharp gaze twinkling.
“You mean that girl Qingwu was kidnapped?”
“Yes, I even saw the kidnappers lay hands on her and strip her clothes…”
Mrs. Shen’s eyes filled with both disgust and excitement!
She frowned and slowly spoke, “Our Shen Family doesn’t want an impure granddaughter. Yurou, remember, you are the only granddaughter of the Shen Family from now on, understood?”
Shen Yurou was ecstatic!
“But what about mom and dad…”
“I’m not dead yet. The Shen Family listens to me.”
Mrs. Shen patted Shen Yurou’s hand, her face full of wrinkles breaking into a smile, “You must hold onto the marriage contract with the Pei Family. As long as you marry over there, you’ll forever be the only daughter of the Shen Family!”
Shen Yurou’s eyes lit up!
Yes, the marriage contract between the Shen and Pei Families!
She grew up in the Shen Family, raised with the manners and poise befitting a noble lady. As long as Pei sees her, he’s bound to know she’s the most suitable betrothal match for him.
Qingwu is just a wild girl from the countryside, what right does she have to compete with her?
Once she becomes the young mistress of the Pei Family, both the Shen and Pei Families will be hers!
“Grandma, I’ll do my best. I’ll visit Elder Pei shortly! As long as Elder Pei likes me, Young Pei will know I’m the best, and I certainly won’t disgrace Grandma.”
Mrs. Shen smiled contentedly.
Shen Yurou was a granddaughter sent by the Bodhisattva, gentle, lovable, and understanding from a young age, unlike Shen Shaojia and Qingwu who weren’t fit to be her granddaughter!
…
Qiao Xi Hospital
Just as Qingwu entered the hospital, she received an encrypted call from a small island in the Atlantic.
“Boss, a new batch of assassins has arrived. This time something feels off. Blue Whale has been quite active lately, heard they’ve made contact with the Drug King on the Dark Web in Southeast Asia.”
The Drug King, a drug lord walking in the grey zones of the dark web!
Dominating the largest poppy fields and mercenary groups in Southeast Asia, topping the International Police’s wanted list, and always a mysterious presence.
Qingwu slightly furrowed her brow, “No wonder Blue Whale is acting so wildly, seems they want to expand their market within Hua Country. Use my account to contact the International Police and send this information out for free.”
“Yes.”
After hanging up, her message inbox began flashing.
Singer: “The Drug King and Blue Whale are teaming up, a batch of medical staff at Qiao Xi Hospital have been bribed, be cautious.”
Qingwu: “…”
Why was he telling her this information?
Was he addicted to sending messages?
Obtaining such information required tapping into the innermost core of each power, yet Singer casually handed over his findings, making Qingwu feel a little flushed.
As she entered the ward, she heard Elder Shen loudly yelling, “You brat, don’t think about chickening out, stop playing dead, get up!”
“Grandpa.”
Elder Shen was holding a few chess pieces; upon turning and seeing his precious granddaughter, his face broke into a massive smile.
“Come, come, Little Wu, this is your Elder Pei.”
“Hello, Elder Pei.”
Upon seeing Qingwu, Elder Pei’s headache and waist pain vanished instantly. He sat up from the bed, his eyes gleaming at the girl before him.
Her features exquisite, beautiful and graceful, her behavior composed and measured, with a particularly captivating demeanor.
“Good, good, really good, hahaha, this old man finally gets to see my granddaughter-in-law…”
Qingwu: “…”
Granddaughter-in-law?
She restrained her expression, her crow-black eyelashes slightly trembling, the dust in the air seemingly suspended in her eyes, and in the next second, Qingwu raised her head solemnly looking at Elder Shen.
“Grandpa, there’s something off about this ward, it wasn’t like this when I came yesterday.”
Elder Shen was somewhat surprised, but since his granddaughter said so, he chose to believe her unconditionally.
“You check, Grandpa will cover for you. Come on, come on, Old Pei, let’s continue our chess game.”
Elder Pei, now entirely focused on his prospective granddaughter-in-law, had no mind for chess, his eyes practically glued to Qingwu.
He was very satisfied!
Initially, the elder had reservations about Shen Yurou—though pretty, she lacked depth and wasn’t quite fit to be the young mistress of the Pei Family.
As for Shen Shaojia, Elder Pei liked her, but the thought of a bookworm standing next to his own introverted grandson gave him a headache.
Qingwu was excellent, truly excellent!
Cautiously, Qingwu inspected every corner of the ward.
Having once collaborated with the International Police to capture an arms dealer relying on her uncanny profiling ability, she was honored as an honorary ally by them.
With a tap of her finger on the floor, Qingwu’s brows furrowed slightly.
“Grandpa, something isn’t right here.”
Elder Shen set aside his chess pieces and got out of bed, wearing his coat.
A section of the floor was distinctly hollow; lifting it revealed a bomb hidden beneath!
The timer on the bomb showed only two minutes left!
Elder Shen was shocked, grabbing Qingwu to get her out of there, “Hurry away, since there’s a bomb in here, outside surely isn’t safe either. Little Wu, Grandpa’s life doesn’t matter, but you can’t be hurt!”
Elder Pei, having seen his share of intense situations, nodded in agreement, “Yes, granddaughter-in-law, you leave quickly, the grandpas will protect you!”
Qingwu: “…”
Did she say she was leaving?
“Grandpa, I can defuse this bomb, let me handle it.”
Elder Shen didn’t hesitate, immediately entrusting the task to Qingwu.
Qingwu crouched down, picked up small scissors from the ward, and held her breath as she examined the bomb.
She had defused plenty before; this bomb was a standard BLU-3/B Pineapple Bomb, an aerial bomb with significant damage in a small range.
A modified Pineapple Bomb could flatten the entire Qiao Xi Hospital!
Cushioned with cotton underneath, she picked it up, flipped it with its tail facing upwards, removed the T-shaped pin, and in an instant, the tail fins expanded, while the scissors in her hand swiftly entered the safety slot…
“Grandpa, it’s done.”
Elder Shen could barely contain his grin!
“Good, good, my granddaughter is truly amazing!”
Elder Pei, filled with satisfaction, was about to speak when he clutched his heart and collapsed!
Elder Shen was startled, just about to press the emergency call button when he saw his granddaughter frowning, looking seriously at him.
“Grandpa, the medical staff outside aren’t safe; we can’t entrust Elder Pei to them.”
Elder Shen understood this logic, having weathered many storms himself.

It was just seeing his old war buddy collapse that made him anxious.
Qingwu, calm and composed, slowly spoke, “I can treat Elder Pei’s illness.”
