"I'm not satisfied with the security and privacy of this hospital either," Jin Liwei said. "But my grandmother is too weak to handle being transferred to another place. I already called for extra security to come. Ketchup has also already hijacked the hospital's CCTV."
Lu Zihao's eyes were cold. "My sister and the old man are here with you. I'll send some of my people to help fortify the security."
"En." Jin Liwei accepted it.
Even if Jin Liwei didn't agree, Lu Zihao would still have gone ahead with his own plans anyway.
"Your people are okay with the cops patrolling around the hospital area?" Jin Liwei asked.
Lu Zihao shrugged. "We hate the cops and avoid them if we could, but if we couldn't, then we gotta just be extra cautious. If my people get caught, then it means that their skills are not up to par. As long as it's not life imprisonment, experiencing the life inside could be a way to polish their mental strength and endurance. Breaking out of prison is possible but too risky."
Jin Liwei sighed and shook his head. He was only asking a simple question but his brother-in-law just had to talk about the mentality of a principled criminal as if it were something glorious. As expected of the former crown prince of the Vetrov criminal empire.
It was a good thing that Ketchup had already hijacked the hospital's CCTV system. If others were to listen to their conversation and report them right now, both of them might end up in jail that very same day.
"I want to take the old man home," Lu Zihao said next. "He's too old to endure this kind of stressful situation."
"You don't think we tried persuading him?" Jin Liwei sighed again. "Grandpa Lu insists on staying here to keep watch of my grandmother no matter what. After my grandfather passed away, he entrusted Grandma Li and our Jin family to Grandpa Lu. He takes all his promises very seriously, especially the promise he made to his best friend and sworn brother, my grandfather. So go figure out how to persuade him."
Lu Zihao frowned. He immediately looked fiercer with all his facial scars becoming more striking. Jin Liwei, however, was already used to him.
"I should've brought my sons," Lu Zihao muttered. "The old man melts in front of those brats. One smile from them and I bet he'll immediately fly back home with us."
"You can try."
"Never mind." Lu Zihao clicked his tongue. "My wife won't allow me to bring my sons so far away from home."
Jin Liwei's mouth twitched. Thankfully, he was able to maintain his stoic expression. Another good thing was that his brother-in-law didn't notice his mouth twitch.
He almost laughed.
Who would have thought that someone like Nikolai Vetrov would say something mundane and relatable as his wife not allowing him to bring his sons so far away from home?
Jin Liwei knew that his wife's greatest hope for her big brother was for Lu Zihao (Nikolai Vetrov) to let go of his revenge plans and focus on enjoying a peaceful new life with his family.
Unfortunately, the man was already set on his dangerous road of revenge.
"I'll talk to the old man," Lu Zihao said. "If he still doesn't want to come home, maybe I'll just knock him unconscious and drag him away—"
The door to the VIP suite opened and out came a sprightly old man. "What were you planning to this old man, you unfilial, pinheaded grandson?! Am I still your beloved grandpa?! Tell me, I want to know!"
Lu Zihao quickly hid the smile on his lips and pretended to look surprised. Given his skills, there was no way that an old man could sneak behind him and eavesdrop on his conversation. The only conclusion was that he allowed Grandpa Lu to hear what he said.
"Oh, you're here, old man?" Lu Zihao asked in a nonchalant tone.
Grandpa Lu marched to where he stood and smacked his back several times. The thumping sounds were so loud that they echoed in the hospital hallway. The bodyguards patrolling looked in their direction and couldn't help but wince.
Lu Zihao, however, acted as if the smacks were nothing.
Grandpa Lu finally stopped smacking him. He even held his hand and massaged it.
Lu Zihao saw his actions. "Did you hurt your hand, old man?"
"No! My hand is perfectly fine. And call me grandma, you numbskull!"
Jin Liwei was amused. He liked seeing this Lu Zihao get along with Grandpa Lu. He was about to comment and dig a pit for his brother-in-law but the alarm outside Grandma Li's suite started blaring.
Seconds later, doctors and nurses started running.
Jin Liwei's heart felt like it stopped. "What's going on?!"
Nobody answered him.
Grandpa Lu also stood still and stared at the blaring alarm. When the door was thrown open, they could hear Huang Yuyan and Jin Chonglin's heartbreaking wails.
Jin Liwei ran inside. He was stopped by some of the nurses but he broke through them.
