Chapter 1161: Chapter 1153: Continuing the Hunt for the Culprit 9

To him, her idea might seem like nothing more than child’s play.

Tiana Thorne dismissed it: "How do you know we’re necessarily in the open? And why do you think the other side would see us as such a big threat?"

"We might be under surveillance right now, Miss Thorne..."

"I feel like Caleb Sterling resembles the enemy. He confidently believes no one can uncover him, so stealthily listening in on us shows he underestimates me, assuming I can’t pull it off, or that I’ll make some basic mistakes."

"I think it’s unlikely we’re being monitored. If they could monitor us, they wouldn’t need to eavesdrop. Even though this is a hospital with many people, it’s not a place where surveillance devices can be installed so easily."

Tiana Thorne spoke slowly, each sentence making sense.

She understood that Caleb Sterling underestimates her, perhaps thinking that she was born with a silver spoon, naive to the world, taking her for an airheaded heiress, not hopeful of her capabilities.

Caleb Sterling’s personality is quite aloof and indifferent, only looking up to those he respects, carrying a rebellious streak.

The pride in Tiana Thorne’s eyes was like a plum blossom standing proudly in the snow, unique and independent.

She doesn’t need anyone’s validation, for she is inherently proud.

Caleb Sterling nonchalantly glanced over; it was in that instant, he paused, noticing Tiana Thorne’s slight smile. Her words actually made some sense.

Caleb furrowed his brows, and politely said, "Miss Thorne, you’re overthinking it. I just don’t want you taking any risks."

"Aren’t you here to protect me? Even if something really happens, do you lack the confidence to keep me safe, Caleb?" Tiana said calmly. Since she needed him, he would naturally step up.

Not only does he look down on Tiana Thorne, she too wants to see what extraordinary means he possesses.

At this point, Caleb Sterling could only agree, "Alright, we’ll do as Miss Thorne says."

The hospital is crowded and chaotic, also monitored. To avoid detection among such chaos, one must not be ordinary.

He’s no invisible man and doesn’t know the Invisibility Technique, so he can only rely on disguise.

Tiana Thorne analyzed this while considering how persistent this person was, determined to harm Aiden Shaw.

Previously, it was Seth Thorne they targeted.

Now the plan is aimed at Aiden Shaw.

Could there be a direct connection?

Is it aimed at them, or is it targeting her?

She instructed Jesse Rivers to keep things low-key to avoid too much commotion that might alert the enemy.

As Caleb Sterling put it, they shouldn’t startle the snake by beating the grass.

Pretending to visit patients as a company offering free gifts, they searched each room.

They checked everyone, both patients and their relatives.

The hospital cooperated thoroughly, verifying patient lists with no discrepancies found.

In light of this, Tiana Thorne paced back and forth in the ward, pondering where it went wrong. Or perhaps as Caleb said, by startling the snake, the person had already left the hospital?

If the other side gave up, it might never be discovered.

While she was contemplating, there was a commotion outside the door, someone shouted vehemently, "Let go of me! What do you want? Is there no law left, capturing people randomly? I’m just a fruit vendor!"

"Bring him in here!"

Caleb Sterling’s hoarse and authoritative voice rang out, and the person immediately cowered, allowing himself to be pulled inside by the collar.

Standing no taller than five foot seven, the lean man wore black clothes beneath a yellow vest. If he weren’t so timid, he’d be mistaken for a volunteer.
