Clearly, Pei Yan had no intention of further disrupting the joyous atmosphere of Qi Weidong's hospital discharge. He didn't continue to refute Ye Jiumu's words, but instead, with his head down and sulking, he left the ward, leaving behind a room full of bewildered companions. Only Wang Wenze chased after him to offer some comfort, only to be loudly rebuffed by Pei Yan.
In the corridor, Wang Wenze, who was loudly scolded by Pei Yan, seemed genuinely angry and said a few harsh words before turning back into the ward. This left Pei Yan with a lonely silhouette as he walked alone downstairs. The intelligence officers responsible for surveillance exchanged glances, unsure of what to do, but they had orders and had to follow him downstairs at a distance.
