Yun City First People's Hospital, ICU.

The police officer surnamed Li had not yet reached Ye Tianyu's room when the hospital alarm suddenly sounded. His face changed, and he immediately realized something was wrong, quickening his pace.

Arriving at Ye Tianyu's room, he surprisingly found no guards at the door. The police officer Li rushed over and pushed the door open.

To his shock, the two armed police officers guarding the room were lying motionless on the floor, and Ye Tianyu was nowhere to be seen. Broken handcuffs were left on the bed, and Ye Tianyu's hospital gown was discarded on the ground.

Police officer Li was in shock. How could this be? How could Ye Tianyu have escaped?

He immediately picked up his walkie-talkie: "Attention all units, Ye Tianyu has escaped from the ward. Lock down all exits of the hospital immediately!"

"Control room, what's going on? Did none of you notice Ye Tianyu's escape?" he questioned afterward.

The police in the control room replied, "Someone kidnapped Dean Chen, used him to open the control room door, and knocked out our people. We sounded the alarm immediately when we found out during the shift change."

Police officer Li was taken aback; it seemed that someone had helped Ye Tianyu escape. He asked, "Do you know who they are?"

The police in the control room said, "It's a woman wearing a mask. We've found out she disguised herself as a civilian twenty minutes ago, entered the hospital, then dressed up as a nurse, accompanying Dean Chen to the control room."

Police officer Li asked, "Where is she now?"

The police in the control room replied, "Still searching... she might have changed her disguise again..."

Frowning, police officer Li looked at the hospital gown on the floor, then picked up the walkie-talkie again: "Attention all units, the fugitive has accomplices, and they have likely already escaped the hospital in disguise. Lock down a ten-mile radius around the hospital immediately!"

After speaking, police officer Li turned to two of his subordinates and said, "Go to the control room!"

Elsewhere.

A young man was planning to head to the east gate, waiting for an opportunity to act.

Suddenly, he heard the alarm from the hospital.

The young man frowned. What happened?

He saw that the main entrance of the hospital was now sealed off, with no way in or out.

The young man had a bad feeling. Could something unexpected have happened?

A younger girl walked to the young man's side and asked, "Senior brother, what's happening?"

The young man replied, "Stay calm, it might be a police trick. Let's wait and see, and decide whether to act upon seeing Ye Tianyu."

The younger girl asked, "Could Ye Tianyu have already escaped?"

The young man said, "Impossible. With Ye Tianyu's skills and his injuries, he can't possibly have run away... Wait!"

The younger girl asked curiously, "What happened?"

The young man said, "Unless someone helped him escape..."

He suddenly remembered something; he had been monitoring the main entrance from the hotel across the street. He recalled seeing a masked woman getting out of a taxi less than half an hour ago. What caught his attention about her was her eyes, which felt familiar as if he'd seen them somewhere before.

At the time, he didn't think much of it.

Now, with the alarm sounding in the hospital and his junior sister suggesting that Ye Tianyu might have escaped, he suddenly remembered.

"It's her!" the young man exclaimed in surprise.

The younger girl jumped in fright, "Who is she?"

The young man said, "It's that masked woman, she's here!"

At this moment, a Rolls-Royce approached the hospital.

"Ye Tianyu has escaped and may already be out of the hospital. That masked woman from that night rescued him," Loli put down the phone and said to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan asked, "Details?"

Loli said, "Apparently, she kidnapped the hospital dean, used him to handle the control room, and then took Ye Tianyu away."

Lin Fan responded with an "Oh" and said, "Let's go to the control room and see what's happening."

The Rolls-Royce stopped at the main entrance of the hospital. The two got out of the car, and with Loli leading, they smoothly entered the hospital, heading straight to the control room.

Police officer Li was also in the control room, reviewing the camera footage.

"Old Li, what's the situation?" Loli asked.

Seeing Loli, police officer Li said, "Lily's here. It's suspected Ye Tianyu has already escaped the hospital, but there's no trace of them yet. Come take a look."

Police officer Li pointed at the surveillance footage and continued, "At 10:10, Dean Chen brought the suspect into the control room, knocking out our colleagues. At 10:15, they captured the masked nurse entering the ICU. At 10:18, in just three minutes, she entered Ye Tianyu's room, knocked out our guards, Ye Tianyu changed clothes, and they took the elevator to the ground floor and disappeared. It seems she was very familiar with the ICU building's surveillance and deliberately avoided the cameras on the ground floor."

Loli asked, "Could they still be hiding inside the ICU building?"

Police officer Li said, "The whole building has been locked down and thoroughly searched immediately, but they were not found."

"Wait a minute," Lin Fan suddenly said, "Review the surveillance outside the ICU after 10:18."

Police officer Li, recognizing Lin Fan as Loli's boyfriend and the one who had apprehended Ye Tianyu that night, instructed, "Do as Mr. Lin says."

The police operating the surveillance did as told and quickly retrieved the footage near the ICU building.

"Stop!" Lin Fan suddenly said, staring at the screen.

The screen froze, showing two people, a man and a woman, the woman dressed in a white coat, looking like a doctor, and the man in a uniform.

"That's them, they disguised again on the first floor. What was Ye Tianyu wearing?" Lin Fan asked.

Police officer Li glanced at Dean Chen, who was sweating profusely.

Dean Chen said, "It's the uniform of the ambulance driver. Our ambulance service is partnered with a third-party company; that's their designated uniform..."

Lin Fan said, "Switch the surveillance to the entrance and check if an ambulance left the hospital after 10:20."

The footage switched to the hospital's front entrance, and at 10:21, indeed, an ambulance came to the door, passed the police check, and was allowed to leave.

Police officer Li immediately contacted the police at the entrance: "Around 10:21, did an ambulance leave the hospital? Who was on board?"

The police at the entrance replied, "Yes, an ambulance left, with just a male driver and a female doctor on board. We checked their papers and the travel details; everything was fine, so we let them through."

Police officer Li asked, "Which direction did the ambulance go?"

The police at the entrance said, "Turned left upon leaving."

Lin Fan said, "That's them."

Everyone was surprised; it seemed the masked woman and Ye Tianyu had already left the hospital!

Police officer Li immediately picked up the walkie-talkie: "Attention all units, the suspects disguised as a doctor and ambulance driver, fleeing in an ambulance. The license plate number is... Intercept if found!"
