BXBX NOVEL Chapter 317 - 317: Threats
There was a small path between the gate of the sanatorium and the building of the sanatorium. On both sides of the path were clear bamboo forests, and there was a babbling stream in the midst of the bamboo forest.
At this moment, two teams of mercenaries in military uniforms were standing on both sides of the bamboo forest, holding guns in their hands.
Guo Miao stopped in her tracks.
Justin quickly gestured at the mercenary.
When the mercenaries saw the gesture, they untied their guns and pointed them at the ground.
Justin smiled. “Don’t be afraid. These are all orders from Mr. Jack. You were frightened in Fog City last time. We will do our best to protect your safety this time.”
Guo Miao nodded and walked onto the small path.
She wasn’t afraid because of these people with guns. She was looking at the mountain in the distance.
In the distant foothills, there were black figures in the lush forest, and there seemed to be black muzzles in front of them. She didn’t know if the Orsola family was using them to protect her or to scare her.
“Don’t worry. These are our own people. They won’t shoot you. They’re all trying to protect your safety.” Seeing that she was silent, Justin repeated his words.
Guo Miao didn’t answer but continued walking. Her steps were steady and without any disorder.
Justin found this a little strange. Didn’t Guo Miao stop because she was afraid of the mercenaries?
Was there some other reason?
Walking to the door of the sanatorium, Guo Miao asked, “Did you send those snipers into the forest to protect me?”
Justin was shocked and froze on the spot.
Those snipers could be used to protect Guo Miao and were also a form of deterrence.
Jack was the most important person to the Orsola family. If anything happened to Guo Miao’s treatment, the Orsola family would not let her go.
Those snipers were prepared for the possible execution.
But how did Guo Miao find out?
Those snipers were all world-class mercenaries, and their hiding skills were top-notch. How could Guo Miao find them from such a far distance?
Just as Justin was feeling puzzled, Guo Miao opened the door and walked in.
He quickly caught up with Guo Miao. “Don’t worry. Whether it’s the sniper or the mercenaries, they’re all our own people.”
Guo Miao’s expression didn’t change at all. She just nodded lightly and turned to him with a smile. “Mr. Justin, don’t worry. I believe in the Orsola family’s reputation.”
Justin nodded and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
The look in Guo Miao’s eyes just now made him feel that Guo Miao would pull out a gun and aim it at his head at any moment.
She looked like a high school student, but her aura was a little scary.
“This way, please.” Justin pointed at the room next to him. “This is Mr. Jack’s room.”
Guo Miao nodded and pushed the door open.
Jack had a VIP room here. The room had all kinds of facilities, as well as huge floor-to-ceiling windows and a small living room.
When she opened the door, Jack was lying on the bed, asleep with his eyes tightly closed.
A man in a blue shirt was sitting next to him. He had a mixed-race face and a gentle Chinese face, but he had a pair of deep blue eyes and light brown hair.
“Hello, I’m Ryan. I’ve heard a lot about you.”Seeing Guo Miao, Ryan stood up and reached out his hand to her.
It was different from the others who were surprised to see Guo Wonder.
Ryan seemed to have easily believed that this high school girl in front of him could cure his brother.
“Hello.” Guo Miao reached out and shook hands with Ryan.
Ryan’s hands were very dry as if they were covered in calluses and corroded skin. It should be the traces of corrosion when he made the poison.
As if sensing Guo Miao’s thoughts, Ryan smiled gently. “1 used to be a drug refiner on Neverland Island. 1 have such marks on my hands all year round. I’m sure you’re scared.”
“No.” Guo Miao smiled and pulled her hand back. She looked out the window.
The curtains were not drawn, and the lush forest could be seen from the room. In the forest, black muzzles were pointed at the room.
“It’s just that your attitude towards doctors surprises me. It’s going to rain soon,” Guo Miao said with a smile. “Haicheng is always humid, and those snipers are prone to rheumatism.. Why don’t I prescribe some herbs for you to give to them?”
