It took quite some time for Xinghe's group to reach the hospital. However, the security at the hospital was even tighter. Almost no one was allowed entry, not even the most important people.
A military general stood guarding the hospital entrance; his unit was armed with guns, and they looked ready to shoot. Those who got near, whoever that might be, would be scanned from head to toe by their sharp gazes. Even after Xinghe notified them of her purpose and identity, she was shown the door.
"I am sorry, but no one is allowed entry for now! No matter who you are, you cannot enter unless you have the senior officer's permission," the general said in a voice that brooked no argument.
"Who is your senior officer?" Xinghe asked.
"Officer Tong Tianrong!"
