Chapter 211

Before An ZhiXian asked, he couldn't help leaving a wary eye, "Sorry, we just wanted to ask, why has the baby been asleep since being taken out and not woken up? Was there something wrong when he was born?"

An ZhiXian was a doctor, tall and handsome himself, the crush of many young nurses.

The nurse who opened the door clearly recognized him too, her voice somewhat softened, "Dr. An, you're a doctor yourself. Isn't it very normal for a newborn baby to sleep a lot? Don't worry, I've examined the baby, he's a very healthy little guy, just looks small, he'll be fine once he gets some multiple feeding, there's nothing wrong. I'll close the door first, the next one's coming out soon, please wait."

An ZhiXian stopped her again, "Are you sure he's a very healthy little guy?"

Only then did the nurse sense something wrong. Glancing down, the child's face had already turned from red to cyanotic.

"How...what's going on?" The nurse was also confused about the situation, and afraid to say the wrong thing to take responsibility onto herself, she didn't dare speak arbitrarily. But inadvertently seeing the baby's face, she hurriedly urged them, "The baby doesn't look so good, why don't you hurry up and take him to the doctor?"

She was very sure the baby was fine when he was born. But he was only taken out for how long and how did he become like this?

"Second brother, go after Pei Jing quickly. The baby may have been switched. Mom, you and grandma go into the delivery room to keep an eye on ZhiXia and the babies. Don't let her and the babies out of your sight no matter what." An ZhiXian could already confirm it. Handing the baby to An JingZhi's arms, "I'll go look for the baby too. Dad, take this one to the doctor first."

Whether they could still save him or not, at least it was still a life, and the baby was innocent.

As soon as An ZhiRen heard, he ran without even having a chance to ask a question.

With so many people guarding outside, the baby was still switched. The other side must have planned it beforehand.

But why?

For reasons like the Gao family switching ZhiXia?

Very unlikely.

That kind of opportunity could only happen by a fluke. Not possible to go to such great lengths.

An ZhiRen suddenly remembered the figure he saw at the hospital a few days ago.

Was it a coincidence?

But right now, coincidences were what he believed least. When An ZhiXian caught up, he saw An ZhiRen standing there motionless, anxiety all over his handsome face, "Second brother, why are you standing there blankly? Didn't I tell you to hurry up and chase after Pei Jing?"

"Little brother, Pei Jing's martial arts skills are way above ours. If even he can't catch up, us going would be futile. Listen to me now. The baby being switched was done so meticulously, there must be hospital people helping. Go do two things now. One is to find out how many babies were born in the hospital these past two days, whether they were boys or girls, and whether Wang Caixiang has come to the hospital for treatment recently. I saw her at the hospital entrance a few days ago and find her very suspicious about this matter. I'm going to find Wang Caixiang now."

If it weren't for the incident of ZhiXia being switched at home before, their vigilance would have been high. I'm afraid this matter would have really just been glossed over like this.

His suspicion was not unreasonable. After all, the Wang family was known for doing harmful selfish deeds.

But if it really was Wang Caixiang's doing, then the one most deserving death should be him.

It was the mess he caused. And he didn't take action early to deal with this woman. It was his fault.

But now was not the time for self-blame. He had to find the baby first.

In the delivery room, another loud cry came. Zhou Nan and old madam guarded by ZhiXia, hearing the voice, one hurriedly went to look at the baby.

The two midwives were also nervous. Although not understanding exactly what happened, but seeing this whole family on high alert, they knew things were probably not good.

Feeling somewhat regretful for not agreeing to let the family member stay in the delivery room. If something really happened, with the family pursuing it, not to mention their jobs would be unsafe, who knows if they might have to take some responsibility.

ZhiXia was very weak, but not completely unconscious. Turning her head with great effort asking old madam, "Grandma, why did you all come in?"

Old madam's nose soured, but didn't dare tell her about the baby's matter. She could only hold her hand, "Grandma was worried about you, so came in with your mom to keep you company. Don't worry, be good and listen to the doctor, there's still one more baby. We'll be fine after giving birth."

"Mm." ZhiXia lightly murmured, feeling something was off somehow.

But the loss of strength and fatigue in her body kept her brain completely unable to function. Other than pain and discomfort all over her body, especially down there, she couldn't even feel any sensations anymore.

By the time the last baby was born, ZhiXia had completely fainted.

Pei's father-in-law and old master each carried a baby, not daring to let go at all.

ZhiXia was sent back to the maternity ward with three seniors guarding her and the two babies, not daring to leave even an inch.

They could now only pray for Pei Jing to hurry back with the baby.

The baby girl sent to the doctor had already died. They were probably afraid her cries would foil their plan. The less than two day old newborn was actually drugged. What a sin.

With so many people guarding outside, yet the baby was still switched. Don't know how they would explain things when ZhiXia wakes up.

It's said that one can only commit crimes for a thousand days, but preventing crimes has no limit. Who could have expected something like this to happen. That thief was so audacious to make the switch under these circumstances.

The hospital had only doctors and nurses. Everyone dressed similarly, making them difficult to find.

Pei Jing stopped the person at the bathroom door. Probably confident that she wouldn't be recognized, or perhaps she really was hospital staff. So she didn't change out of the nurse's uniform.

Seeing Pei Jing blocking her way, the little nurse was clearly panicked. It was this reaction that let Pei Jing confirm he had the right person.

"What...what are you trying to do?" The little nurse said nervously.

The small cart she had been pushing was no longer in sight. Pei Jing walked up, tone full of threat, "Where's the baby that was switched?"

"What switched baby? I don't know what you're talking about. Please let me through, comrade. I still have work to do."

The little nurse wanted to leave but was blocked by Pei Jing again. "You can choose not to admit it, but there are two other nurses in the delivery room. Are you going to confront them?"

"I don't understand what you're saying. If you don't let me pass, I'll have to call for people." The little nurse circled around trying to run after finishing.

Pei Jing rushed up grabbing her arm twisting it behind her back. The little nurse instantly struggled, "Help...assault...save me..."

Pei Jing forcibly restrained her. No matter what others said, he refused to let go.

Only when the dean came did Pei Jing take out his military pass explaining the situation.

To catch a thief, one had to get their hands dirty. Everything was still Pei Jing and their guesswork. They couldn't deny it was their child just because the baby taken out wasn't doing well.

Plus saying their hospital's nurse had switched the baby was no small matter. With no reason or grudge, why should they take this blame for the hospital?

With so many eyewitnesses, who would dare come to their hospital for treatment afterwards?

"Comrade, don't you think you've made a mistake?" Dean Ma said with a smile trying to smooth things over. "Even if you're military, you can't just say our hospital's nurse switched the baby, right? Plus your wife gave birth to triplets. It's common for some babies to not do as well. Let's properly diagnose and examine the child. We can't deny it's your child just because of this. And even if our hospital compensates you with a baby, it still wouldn't be of your seed, right?"

An ZhiXian had already investigated clearly over there. Hearing from the delivery room Pei Jing hadn't returned yet before hurrying over. Just happening to hear this part, he squeezed over saying: "Dean, what you said isn't entirely unreasonable. But I just came from OB. The baby brought out and handed to us had already been born for two days and also given anesthetics. He has currently died. In this kind of situation, it's clearly premeditated. Can you still close your eyes saying there's no problem?"

Hearing this, the original speculation was confirmed. Pei Jing's eyes instantly turned sharp, "I'll give you one more chance. Explain clearly right away. Where have you hidden my child? Otherwise you can go to the detention center and explain yourself. Plotting harm on military dependents, kidnapping military children, do you know what crimes those are?"

The little nurse panicked badly. That person only told her to find a way to switch the babies. Didn't tell her the father was military!

Moreover, judging from her appearance, she was a tough nut to crack who would not be easy to fool.

When An ZhiXian saw that she was still hesitating, he said to Pei Jing: "You keep an eye on her. I'll go to the police station now. A life has already been lost, so it's best to let the police handle this."

"You can't call the police." Now that this matter had already erupted, if it escalated to the police station, their hospital's reputation would be completely ruined. Ma Dean quickly stopped An ZhiXian, "Dr. An, this is a private matter between you all that has nothing to do with our hospital, right? Reporting this would ruin the hospital."

"Since this incident occurred in the hospital and involves a nurse who works here, the hospital cannot wash its hands of this. Moreover, we gave her a chance - as long as we can find the child..."

Although An ZhiXian couldn't remember this nurse's name, they worked in the same hospital so he recognized her face. He was threatening the nurse. He hated her guts now, but finding the child was still the top priority.

A newborn baby was very fragile and couldn't withstand such turbulence. They couldn't afford to delay right now.

As soon as the young nurse heard this, her legs gave out and she knelt on the ground, pleading, "I...I'll tell everything I know, please don't call the police..."
