Chapter 325 Not Good People
Catherine and Ronin had taken a temporary leave from school to visit a relatively unknown hospital in Casier. Based on the information Ronin had received, Erick had been brought to this hospital.
He needed a series of tests, and once they were completed without issues, he would be taken to Oceanvile.
Oceanvile was where the Winfreds had their roots. If they waited until Erick was brought there, it would be much harder to get close to him. At the far end of the top floor’s corridor, Ronin and Catherine waited near the stairs.
“Catherine, the room at the very end is Erick’s. There are guards at the door, we should be in the right place.”
“Ok,” Catherine replied tersely. Ronin hesitated for a moment before asking, “Catherine, are we really going to save him?”
Their prior deal with the Winfreds included an agreement not to interfere once the deal was completed. While the Winfreds might be unethical, it was their business, and they didn’t need to get involved.
In terms of a business perspective, messing with the Winfreds for Erick wasn’t a profitable deal. Catherine understood Ronin’s point. From a business standpoint, this deal didn’t make sense.
However, she always went with her gut. Given her connection with Erick, giving him a helping hand was something she was willing to do.
The Winfreds’ unethical behavior was something she disliked. Catherine coldly responded to Ronin with two words, clearly indicating her stance.

Ronin didn’t say more. If Catherine was upset with the Winfreds, it was their bad luck. They were ready to take actions. The entrance was guarded by two burly bodyguards, and with their skills, taking them out would be a piece of cake.
But if they wanted to do this without raising any suspicions, distracting the guards required careful planning. Seeing Catherine about to enter, Ronin quickly stopped her.
“Catherine, hold on. Let me check first. Then he took out a laptop he carried with him and sat down. This laptop was as compact as a tablet but packed a punch with its impressive features.
He effortlessly hacked into the hospital’s computer system, quickly mapping out their route. After taking Catherine to the janitor’s room on the upper level, Ronin pointed at a ventilation shaft above.
“This vent goes straight to Erick’s room. If we want to avoid alerting the Winfreds, we can use it to enter directly,” Ronin explained.
“Alright,” Catherine nodded. Hospital computer systems weren’t flawless, and Ronin’s speedy hacking was no surprise.
After all, Ronin was a skilled hacker who could break into even high- security systems, so this was easy for him. Catherine gave a strong push off the wall, climbed onto the ceiling, and effortlessly opened the vent’s louvers, sliding inside.
Her small size made it easy for her to move through the narrow vent. After Catherine vanished into the vent, Ronin skillfully shut the louvers.
He grabbed a tissue and wiped off any faint footprints on the wall, clearly showing his keen eye for detail from years of experience.
His coordination with Catherine was exceptionally seamless. Catherine navigated a bend and quickly reached the ceiling of the next floor.
The bend led to the end of the corridor, right where Erick’s room was. Catherine peeked through the small openings in the louvers and saw only Erick lying in the bed, with nothing else in sight.

Catherine moved silently, lifting the louvers and jumping down gracefully. She didn’t make any sound. In his drowsy state, Erick felt someone approaching him.
He didn’t even bother to open his eyes but stubbornly shouted, “Whatever you want, bring it on. I’m not afraid of you!”
Although he seemed defiant, his voice was hoarse. Catherine gazed at Erick, who lay on the bed, appearing tired with dark circles under his eyes. She chuckled coldly.
“Heh!”
The faint sound startled Erick, and he mustered all his strength to open his eyes wide. There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, which quickly faded.

Catherine ignored his words and reached for the IV bag hanging beside him. She inspected the bag, which had complicated scientific terms written on it.
Catherine couldn’t help but smile coldly. It was just as she suspected. To control Erick, the Winfreds had injected him with a drug that rendered his muscles powerless.
They had also added a small amount of sedative to the medication, making him both awake and helpless.
This was not something that should be done in a legitimate hospital, which is probably why the Winfreds went for this small private hospital for Erick’s checkup.
Once the tests were completed, they would take Erick back to Oceanvile, where the Winfreds would have complete control.
Catherine deftly removed the needle from Erick’s hand, and Erick, unable to move, watched her with a cold gaze. Catherine sat down casually, showing no signs of being an intruder. Her beautiful face had a sneaky smile, and her pretty eyes looked around the room.
“I answered your questions before, now it’s your turn,” she said. Erick, still suspicious, looked at her but didn’t respond. On the other hand, Catherine didn’t care about Erick’s attitude. In her world, she did what she wanted, plain and simple.
“Did you know beforehand that they planned to take your kidney?”
After all, Erick had sent her a distress signal before, or else he wouldn’t have chased after her when she left the Winfreds’.
He knew he couldn’t confront her and didn’t trust her either, so he merely asked inquisitively without taking any action. Erick simply shook his head.
Then he shared a long-buried secret from his past. His expression was cold, and despite a faint smile on his pale face, it held a sharp and mocking edge.
“I didn’t know the Winfreds’ intentions, but I was certain it couldn’t be anything good.
“The Winfreds are not good people!”
