Chapter 263

Knowing that Patrick had left the hospital, Barbara was not in the mood to stay.She had just had a
phone call with Christina, which irritated her even more.

Presumably, it was still early, so the hospital lobby was not crowded at all.

It appeared quite desolate with its broad space.

Barbara trudged with her ten-centimeter black high heels on the marble floor, making a series of sharp
and clear sounds...

However, just as she was about to walk out of the large glass door of the hospital, a familiar figure on
the left suddenly caught her attention.

Barbara halted, frowning and inspecting the corridor on the left.

Derek? Why was he here? She thought for two seconds and skittered to follow him.

The far left corridor in the lobby of the hospital was connected to the pediatrics clinic, which was usually
the busiest place.

Even now, many parents came over with their children for injections.

Several nurses hurried past with medical supplies in their hands, and the cleaners also bustled in
cleaning up with trash cans.

Barbara looked around hurriedly.Did she get confused with someone else just now?

"Hand it over!"

A brisk voice came from the back door of the pediatrics department.



The voice was not loud, but audibly conveying a hint of anger.

Barbara didn't expect that it was him.Barbara passed through the parents holding their children and
arrived at the back door of the department.

Then she saw Derek grabbing the collar of a doctor with his left hand, forcing him back against the wall.

At the back door of the pediatrics department, there was an open space with a cement floor.

Apart from the hospital staff, there were very few passers-by, and even the dirty walls were covered
with moss.

Barbara was surprised, for it was the first time she had seen Derek in such agitation.

"Hand it over."

He seemed to be truly in a rage, repeating in a deep voice.

He clenched his right fist and was about to teach the weak doctor a lesson the next second.

"I really don't know what you're talking about."

The doctor explained nervously.

Derek's fair and handsome face was now even more vicious.

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, his right fist had already hit the doctor's jaw, causing the
doctor to curl up in pain.

The doctor dodged in fear and wanted to shout, but Derek strade forward and covered his mouth with
his right palm at an extremely fast speed.



His left hand had already grabbed his neck and kept tightening its strength.

Barbara was frightened.

She looked at the doctor in the white robe with a name card saying ‘Steven’ on his chest as his face
was writhing in suffocating agony.

She didn't know what kind of old grudge Derek had borne towards this doctor, but she knew that Derek
had always been left-handed.

He appeared to be fair and slender, but his strength was amazing.

She also heard that he had practiced martial arts for a few years for a woman.

The doctor would die at this rate...

Barbara had been in the workplace for many years, and she felt that it was time to shout for attention.

As she was about to yell, five tough-looking men rushed over from the other side, one of them turning
out to be Larry, who had a fat head and a big belly.

He cursed in a rough voice "Don't kill him.We still have many things to grill from him.Don't kill him."

Derek's expression was awful.He threw the doctor away into the corner the way he would with
garbage.

Steven's face was pale in lack of air.He couldn't even stand still in dizziness and hit his head on the
wall so hard that he bled.

Finally, he gasped for air and had no strength to move anymore.Larry and the others took their actions
very fast.



In less than a minute, they teamed up to tape Steven's mouth, carried him into a white Volkswagen
van, slammed the door, and disappeared.

Barbara froze.

Although she could claim herself to have experienced a lot, fighting her way to be an executive in the
IP&G group, such a situation indeed left her gobsmacked in shock.

"What exactly do Derek and Larry want to do?"

In just half a year after Derek returned to the country, he toppled the Fisher family and made Larry
open more than 20 companies at the same time to form a huge group behind the scenes.

He had keen insight into the trends of the financial market and hunted down listed companies one after
another to annex them, causing the stock market to be in turmoil, either skyrocketing continuously or
crashing overnight.

He was like a rare fox with snow-white fur all over its body, amazingly gorgeous, but often leaving
people oblivious of how dangerous his nature was.

"How could this doctor offend him?"

With Barbara's understanding of him, Derek had always been indifferent towards people and things, so
it was almost impossible for him to be so furious. Looking in the direction where the white van
disappeared, she became even more suspicious.

She looked around vigilantly to make sure that no one was around, and after checking that there was
no surveillance, she feel relieved and walked straight to the place where the doctor had been beaten
up just now.



She squatted down and found a small black plastic USB flash drive hidden in a crack within the muddy
and mossy wall.

She could see clearly that when the doctor knocked his head against the wall, his right hand took the
opportunity to stuff the small black USB into the muddy chink.

Coincidentally, Derek did not pay attention to him in his wrath, and Larry and the others did not observe
him so carefully.

"Is that what Derek is looking for?"

Barbara picked up the small black USB drive and immediately felt that it was not a simple matter.

She quickly regained her usual demeanor, clutched the USB drive in her palm, and left as if she were
an ordinary passer-by.

Once out of the hospital gate, she sat directly in the car.

Originally, she was going back to work, so her laptop was also in the car.

She looked down at the black USB drive in her palm and hesitated for half a second, then she decided
to open it now to see what was in it.

The USB drive was connected to the port of the laptop and it was reading data.

It first occurred to Barbara that it probably contained some of Derek's business secrets.

Otherwise, how could he be so anxious? However, the next second, she looked at the computer screen
and saw that there was no file data on the USB drive, only a video.

That was strange.



She got even more dubious.She put the computer on her lap, stared at the screen, and tapped the
mouse to open the video file.

The picture in the video showed an enclosed and cold space.

It was a picture of an operating room, where several doctors and nurses walked around, all looking
strange.

When the camera turned to the woman on the operating table, Barbara recognized at a glance that the
woman with a big belly was Christina.

"This is..."

She looked at the video in disbelief.

She had investigated before that Christina's babies died in the womb because of a car accident, and
since it was urgent, the hospital said there was no video of the operation.

Then what was this video...

Barbara became tense, and at this moment, a woman's gloomy voice came out of the video.

"She's been anesthetized and confirmed unconscious.Director Ann, you can do it now"

"After the baby is dissected, take them away immediately.The morgue has prepared the dead bodies of
twins.After that, I will coax the family members to cremate the dead babies as soon as possible.The
people above said that for the safety of your family, it is best for you to shut up.No one else should
know about this..."

Barbara's mind went blank.

Looking at the video that had been played, she muttered uneasily, "The children are not dead"
