Chapter 1240 - 1240: Search Operation Underway

After the bandaging was done.

The nurse's manner of speaking was noticed by the gang members outside.

One gang member came in to remind him.

"I'm the nurse, you've already bandaged this guy's wounds, so hurry up and leave. We need to focus on recovery."

"No one should talk too much to our patient, you as a nurse should know that, right?"

The nurse looked at the gang member, feeling provoked, and glared at him in anger.

"I don't care who you are, but beware that everything you're doing now will face consequences."

Another gang member chuckled twice and said to the nurse, "Don't you know by now that doing things like this brings no good outcome?"

"Do you know who this person is?"

"You're standing up for him, but what if he's someone with a criminal record—is it really worth it?"

Upon hearing what the gang member said, he glanced inside.

He saw Xiao Chen lower his head, and felt unsure inside. If the person did have a criminal issue, his involvement would only lead to trouble.

He coldly pushed the two gang members aside, and left after everyone else had gone.

One gang member came in and said to Xiao Chen, "I'm telling you, don't even think about reporting this and getting taken away. Besides us guarding here, others are outside the hospital entrance, just unable to come in."

"If you try to escape, we'll break your legs. Don't think Director Zhang isn't watching you closely. If you run away, your sister will never get to see you again."

This threat about his sister—he had heard it at least ten times already.

Xiao Chen knew exactly what Director Zhang had said to him, so these repeated threats were just rehashed words. He nodded, looking very desperate, and said.

"I know what I should do, no need for further reminders. I will stay in the hospital and not cause trouble for you."

...

The night-time search operation continued.

These gang members from the largest group in Jiangcheng were searching area by area for one person.

They had to find this person within three days.

Hence, the speed of searching among these ten thousand people was incredibly fast, not for any other reason but that some of them had committed crimes and were accustomed to playing hide-and-seek with law enforcement.

Thus, their escape speed was very quick, and their search speed was the same as usual, finding someone was only a matter of time.

Just one night was enough for them to turn half of Jiangcheng upside down, but they still couldn't find the person. Some high-class locations were inaccessible to them.

And some private residences couldn't have the target either, so they focused on public areas.

This might seem like missing many places, but it's actually not the case, because once they finished searching public places thoroughly.

Only private places would remain, then more senior gang members would search those.

So, three days were enough to search thoroughly inside and out.

At dawn, still no results.

The gang members met in a very remote area of Jiangcheng.

Seeing the brothers looking completely exhausted.

The leader spoke to them, "Go rest first, and we'll continue searching at night. But time is running out for us."

"Only two days left, we must complete this task no matter what, or we won't be able to report back to our superiors.".

The gang members, though not happy inside, dared not complain, immediately dispersed, opting to sleep first.

Lin Feng received a phone call, it was his high school buddy: "Lin Feng, just now one of my guys said that the person is still in the process of being searched."

"But he promised to deliver the person to you within the next two days."

"Don't worry, Jiangcheng isn't too big, the person will be found unless they are no longer in Jiangcheng."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng nodded: "Thank you for the trouble."

Lin Feng was still very worried because the person mentioned that if the target was no longer in Jiangcheng, then they couldn't be found.

But if, indeed, as stated, the person had left Jiangcheng, wouldn't that mean they couldn't be found at all?

He couldn't entirely task his research staff to search for them, so he began to consider other plans.

If the person couldn't be found in three days, so be it.

Otherwise, continuing like this wouldn't be good. But he didn't say this.

Because, in any case, Xiao Chen was his employee, and he had to try hard to find him; if couldn't, then couldn't.

"Thanks for the trouble."

Jiang Anmin said somewhat displeased, "What're you saying, we're best mates, being distant about things like this makes it seem estranged. We just graduated high school a semester ago, there's no need to say this."

Seeing he was still as he always used to be, he refrained from saying more thanks, "Alright, it's in your hands, call me if anything comes up."

After hanging up the phone.

Next to him, Zhang Yuxi also happened to wake up, hearing Lin Feng's voice on the call.

She couldn't help but reach out a hand and hug Lin Feng affectionately, somewhat coyly saying, "What happened, making a call so early, is there something wrong at the company?"

Seeing Zhang Yuxi just waking up looking so cute.

Lin Feng shook his head and told her a few jokes.

"How could it be?"

"Nothing major with the company, just looking for someone, you just sleep a bit more, I'll go make breakfast."

Zhang Yuxi looked at Lin Feng gratefully and said, "You're the best, I always have you make breakfast, I've never made a good meal for you, maybe I should make breakfast today, how about it?"

Lin Feng shook his head, comforting her, "It's no big deal, you just rest more here, don't worry, I make different breakfasts every day for you..."

"I'll make you healthy and chubby, so that fewer people will be after you."
