Shangguan Xiu felt he had been tricked, his eyes ablaze with fury as he angrily grabbed the doctor by the collar, bellowing, "Didn't you say she was here? Where is she now, huh?!"
The doctor, terrified, hurriedly explained, "I don't know, I'm just her attending physician, not a nursing aide, so I'm not watching them all the time. Oh, right, I remember now, just a few minutes ago, that man who brought the patient here, he asked me if the patient could be discharged now. I said she couldn't because the wound hadn't healed and she hadn't regained consciousness yet, so I guess, they might have sneaked out..."
From the doctor's words, Shangguan Xiu understood that Ouyang Zhi must have already known about his arrival at the hospital, and therefore Ouyang Zhi had fled a few minutes earlier.
"Damn it!" Shangguan Xiu cursed, released the doctor, and swiftly turned to run out.
He restarted the car and quickly left the hospital.
