4369 The Other Side 338
After Shanshan finished speaking, she walked towards the laundry room, ignoring Gong Fan’s worried expression.
Youyou grabbed Gong Fan’s hand and immediately, cautiously, lightened his footsteps and followed. He had mixed feelings and was skeptical. He didn’t hear any movement, but Shanshan could hear footsteps a few floors away. This was too mysterious.
Shanshan obviously saw through his doubts. She smiled and said, “My hearing is very sharp. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been practicing it in such a quiet environment. I can hear the sound of your footsteps on the lawn and the wind blowing, let alone in the corridor.”
Gong Fan was rather unimpressed by this. “In that case, do you know how I got into the hospital?”
!!
“You went to the rooftop, didn’t you?” Shanshan said with a smile.
Gong Fan immediately looked surprised. She actually heard him. It had to be said, the rooftop was many floors away from the room she was in.
Youyou chimed in. “Shanshan heard your footsteps earlier. She could tell the difference between the man’s and your footsteps. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have felt safe opening the door. I knew it had to be you outside.”
The three of them went into the laundry room, which was filled with rows of fully automatic washing machines and white sheets that had been hung out to dry.
Gong Fan looked at the clothes that were drying and asked curiously, “Is there anyone else here?”
“Well … there is.”
“Doctors and nurses?”
Shanshan shook her head. “I haven’t seen any doctors or nurses. I’ve always been here. It seems like an abandoned hospital. Very few people e in and out.”
“Who usually takes care of you when you’re alone in the hospital?”
“Myself. I take care of myself. My little sister visits me occasionally.”
“Littl sister?”
“Shhh.” At the mention of her sister, a look of horror finally came over Shanshan’s face. “My sister is scary. She’s always so overbearing. She’s never been nice to me.”
Gong Fan thought this was really odd. Somehow he was reminded of Yunna. Could it be that Shanshan’s sister was a personality created based on Yun Na?
Shanshan led them to a door and pushed it open. The door was never locked. When it swung open, a set of Z-shaped staircases leading down to the back garden was revealed.
“This is it.” Shanshan said, “Follow these stairs. They lead straight to the back garden. After passing through the back garden, we’ll e to the back door of the hospital.”
“And after walking out the back door?” Gong Fan was a little lost. He couldn’t tell if his car was parked at the main entrance or the back entrance. His gaze passed over the garden. The back door seemed to lead to a mountain.
“Is that a mountain?”
“Yeah.”
“What’s on the mountain?”
Shanshan looked confused and shook her head. “I don’t know. I’ve never been out. Even the back garden. I’ve never been there. But I’ve been upstairs, looking out the window at the back garden, and I saw a path leading to the back door.”
“Let’s go! Let’s take a look at the mountain!”
Youyou muttered to himself, there can’t possibly be any wild animals on this mountain!
The three of them made their way down the stairs until they reached the ground floor. They found themselves in the back garden.
The back garden was a large garden lush with dense greenery, flowers, grass, stonework…
They hunched over, covering their tracks as best they could.
