Chapter 157 The Climber

"Mr. Gu, where are you going?" Yu Jing hurried to catch up.

"Qingcheng First Hospital." Gu Qichen's gaze was cold. "Get the car ready!"

Yu Jing quickly interjected, "Mr. Gu, even if you go now, the Qin family won't let you see Miss Qin!"

For the past few times, Gu Qichen had been going to Qingcheng Hospital every day. At first, he had stayed outside the small, detached building, but now he sat on the long bench in the corridor.

Yu Jing felt a pang of sympathy for his boss. That person from the Qin family was too unreasonable!

As soon as Yu Jing finished speaking, Gu Qichen paused.

He turned to Yu Jing, "Go get me the architectural design blueprints for Qingcheng First Hospital!"

Yu Jing was a bit puzzled, but the blueprints for Qingcheng First Hospital were easy to find.

Soon, the drawings were delivered to Gu Qichen's office.

He looked at the floor plans for a while, his gaze falling on the design for the inpatient building.

The inpatient building had a fire escape, but the top floor had always been sealed off. Since no one had lived there before, he wasn't sure if the fire escape was still accessible.

Gu Qichen's gaze shifted to the windows between the stairwell and the corridor. He observed the exterior wall of the inpatient building and soon his eyes landed on a spot, his gaze brightening slightly.

Based on the room design and the bodyguards' positions, he used his pen to sketch out their locations from memory.

Finally, he determined that Qin He's room should be the innermost one, facing the corridor.

He put away the blueprints and called Yu Jing, "Have the business director of Yan Corporation come over."

...

After a day's work at Gu Corporation, Gu Qichen left in the evening.

After getting into the car, he asked Yu Jing, "Have you prepared the things I asked for?"

Yu Jing seemed apprehensive, "They're ready, but..."

He wanted to ask what these things were for, but he didn't dare to speak.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at Qingcheng First Hospital.

Gu Qichen went directly into the inpatient building. He told Yu Jing to wait downstairs and took the elevator to the thirtieth floor.

The floors from thirty to thirty-three were sealed off because they had been empty and unoccupied.

Gu Qichen looked at the locked door, knowing that other than the elevator, there was no other way up.

But the elevator was heavily guarded.

The stairwell was quiet. Gu Qichen glanced at the window by the wall, his heart tightening.

He had seen the blueprints of the inpatient building today. From the outside, each floor had an extended section for decorative lighting strips, but it was only one foot wide!

In the darkness of the night, Gu Qichen moved with agility. He tied one end of the rope Yu Jing had prepared around his waist and secured it to a pipe by the window.

He moved slowly, eventually reaching an external air conditioning unit. From there, a pillar allowed him to climb up bit by bit.

At an altitude of thirty floors, even the wind was more intense than on the ground!

Gu Qichen glanced down calmly. The people and vehicles below looked very small.

Following the pillar, he climbed upwards little by little.

Three floors high, with his agile movements, he ascended in five minutes.

Then, Gu Qichen moved along the wall within the deep recesses of the external lighting strips.

In the darkness, his figure was like a gecko.

On the ground floor, Yu Jing was still waiting obediently. He was still pondering why Gu Qichen had asked him to prepare ropes and some hard, bent hooks. When he connected the dots, he suddenly looked up at the inpatient building in the night!

On the top floor of the inpatient building, a figure was moving little by little along the fluorescent lighting strips!

Yu Jing's eyes went wide, his knees weakened, and he slumped to the ground!

Large beads of sweat trickled down his forehead!

Mr. Gu had asked him to prepare these things to climb the building?!

And a thirty-three-story building at that!

Yu Jing was so nervous his mouth went dry. What if he slipped...

Thirty-three floors, the chance of survival was negligible!

Mr. Gu was risking his life for Miss Qin?!

Watching the figure in the night, Yu Jing's heart was in his throat!

Every tiny movement of that figure seemed to tug at his heart.

Sweat beaded on Yu Jing's forehead. Only when the figure reached the window on the thirty-third floor and leaped in did he finally breathe a sigh of relief, his back soaked with sweat!

...

Thirty-third floor of the building.

After Gu Qichen jumped into the room, he looked around. This room should be adjacent to Qin He's room.

This position was basically past the corridor, so there were no bodyguards.

All he needed to do was slip into Qin He's room when no one was paying attention.

Gu Qichen chuckled. He had always been upright his entire life, and this was the first time he had done something like sneaking into someone's room in the middle of the night.

Without further thought, he loosened the straps around his waist and moved to the door, listening intently for any sounds outside.

After a moment, he gently opened it a crack and looked out. The bodyguards were cautiously watching the direction of the elevator.

Gu Qichen moved his feet lightly, quickly pushed open the door to Qin He's room, flashed inside, and then quickly and quietly closed the door again.

The room was brightly lit. Gu Qichen turned around and strode towards the inner room!

His heart was pounding furiously as he wanted to see how Qin He was doing.

However, when he reached the inner room and saw the person on the hospital bed, Gu Qichen stopped in his tracks.

His sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and a look of disbelief appeared on his stern face.

Qin He was sitting on the hospital bed, her legs crossed, holding a plate of fruit and eating happily!

Their eyes met, and Qin He also froze.

The silver fork was halfway to her mouth, her eyes wide open!

For a moment, Gu Qichen felt a surge of anger from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

He wished he could hit the woman in front of him.

"Gu Qichen? Why are you here? No, how did you get in?" Qin He choked on her watermelon, startled.

Where had this man come from?!

She had clearly ordered all the exits of Qingcheng Building to be guarded!

Gu Qichen's eyes were cold. All the worry and fear of the past few months had turned into anger. He laughed in his rage and pointed to the window not far from Qin He's bed.

Qin He's eyes widened, her fair face flushed with healthy color. She covered her mouth, "You, you climbed up here, are you not afraid of dying?!"

Gu Qichen walked over, approaching her, and gently took the plate from Qin He's hand, placing it on the bedside table.

Qin He was stunned, remaining motionless.

Gu Qichen then took the silver fork from her hand and placed it in the fruit plate.

"You, you, you, what are you doing?"

She finally smelled a hint of danger.

The next second, she was fiercely pushed onto the bed by Gu Qichen!
