Chapter 324: Quick Investigation
The mysterious man said, "Why would I lie to a child? Killing you is as easy as crushing an ant. Go back! I'll let you know when I have a plan."
Yi Mu got back into the car and drove away.
The mysterious man felt the sea breeze and said quietly, "Humans are truly a fragile species!"
Yi Mu returned to the LaCrosse Hotel. He sorted out his thoughts and then devoted himself to his work again.
Let’s go back to Yue Xiaofeng in the hospital. After the doctor’s rescue and removal of the bullet, his life was temporarily no longer in danger. However, due to excessive blood loss, his brain was in shock for too long and he fell into a coma.
Xu Lin said to his attending physician, "Doctor, why is my husband still unconscious? What happened to him? When will he wake up?"
Doctor: "I'm sorry, ma'am. Although we tried our best to save your husband, his brain has been deprived of oxygen for too long, making him medically considered a vegetative state. Your family should be prepared. Unless there's a miracle, he probably won't wake up in this lifetime."
Xu Lin's heart sank, but when she thought that she could still see her husband and breathe the fresh air on earth with him, she was satisfied and dared not have any more extravagant demands. Being alive meant that there was still hope. Medical technology was advancing by leaps and bounds. Who could say that Yue Xiaofeng would not wait until the day when a miracle happened again?
The doctor saw Xu Lin's dazed look and was afraid that he might say something wrong and upset her. If a policeman started a medical dispute in the hospital, it would be difficult to deal with.
He quickly said, "Mrs. Yue, are you okay? Is there something wrong with my explanation that makes you confused?"
Xu Lin shook her head: "No, doctor, although I feel very sorry that my husband did not wake up in time, I am still very grateful for everything you have done for him."
Doctor: "Then let me give you some practical advice. Although we are one of the best hospitals in the city, we usually have to deal with too many patients. Honestly, our medical staff is a bit overwhelmed. The private Wilson Hospital is slightly better in terms of medical quality and treatment facilities. I see that you have the means, so I suggest that you take your patient there for treatment."
Xu Lin: "Doctor, you only know one side of the story. My husband's case is closely related to the owner of Wilson Hospital, so he can go to any hospital but absolutely not Wilson Hospital. Do you understand?"
Doctor: "I understand your concerns. Don't worry! I will never mention this matter again, and we will personally take care of this police officer who was injured in the line of duty."
Xu Lin: "Then I'll trouble you."
She turned back to Yue Xiaofeng's ward and said to Xiang Yingying, "Yingying, go home and rest for a while!"
Xiang Yingying: "How can this be possible? How can you, alone, take care of Yue Xiaofeng who is unconscious in the hospital bed?"
Xu Lin said angrily, "A man who has been sick for a long time is not a filial son. You have no relationship with us at all, so you really don't need to do this. You should go back and rest for a while! We have a meeting at the bureau soon to deal with this matter!"
Xiang Yingying: “This…”
Xu Lin: "Stop talking about this and that, and go back quickly! Otherwise, when you can't bear it anymore, I will be short of people by my side. It really doesn't make up for it! My parents-in-law will come back later to take turns to take care of Yue Xiaofeng. If that doesn't work, we can hire another caregiver. In short, you don't have to worry about this matter."
Xiang Yingying rubbed her eyes and face: "Then I'll go first, see you at the bureau later."
Xu Lin: "Okay, got it."
Shortly after Xiang Yingying left, Yue Xiaofeng's parents also hurried over.
Uncle Yue: "Xiao Lin, how could my son become like this?"
Xu Lin: "Dad, Xiaofeng was shot by a bad guy while on a mission. He lost too much blood and his brain was deprived of oxygen. He may be in a coma for a while."
Aunt Yue: "Xiaolin, did the doctor say when he will wake up? We only have this one son. If anything happens to him, we won't be able to survive."
Xu Lin couldn't bring herself to tell the two elderly people the shameful truth. She could only evade the main point and say, "The doctor said that if everything goes well, Xiaofeng might wake up soon."
Aunt Yue: "Very soon? How long will that be?"
At this time, Xu Lin clenched her teeth and said nothing.
When Uncle Yue saw this, he knew the situation was not optimistic, and he pulled Aunt Yue's sleeve.
"Old woman, please don't make things difficult for this child. She might be more upset than us right now!"
Aunt Yue secretly wiped away her tears behind their backs, then wiped her nose and said, "Xiao Lin, I was excited just now and my tone was a little harsh. I didn't pay attention to your feelings. I'm really sorry. Please don't take it to heart!"
Xu Lin held her hand and said, "Mom, I'm fine. We're all family, why would we bother with such a small matter?"
Aunt Yue nodded and said, "Xiaolin, you are such a sensible child. It is a blessing for our Yue family that Xiaofeng can marry you."
Xu Lin: "Are the children settled?"
Aunt Yue: "Well, I sent it to my in-laws. Your parents are worried about you too. If you are not so busy, go visit them!"
Xu Lin: "I understand. Mom and Dad, I have some things to do at the bureau, so I'll trouble you to take care of Xiaofeng."
Uncle Yue: "Go quickly! But don't delay your work. We all understand."
Xu Lin looked at Yue Xiaofeng who had his eyes closed on the hospital bed and left reluctantly.
When she arrived at the office, everyone put down their work and looked at her.
She shouted sharply, "Have you never seen a woman or me? What are you looking at? Don't you have to work?"
Everyone quickly turned around and pretended to be busy.
At this time, the director also walked in.
Xu Lin greeted him: "Director."
Director: "Xu Lin, you don't look well! Do you want to take a few days off to rest?"
Xu Lin: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine. I can hold on."
The Director said, "That's good. I believe that your title of "female hero" is not undeserved. Given the seriousness of the case, everyone here should prepare. We will hold a meeting in 20 minutes. I want to personally observe the trial."
Everyone answered in unison: "Yes."
Xu Lin walked over to Xiang Yingying's desk and asked, "Based on the current situation, how many valuable clues do we have?"
Xiang Yingying: "We don't know much at the moment. Based on the bullets recovered from Zhao Lei and Yue Xiaofeng, we have reason to suspect they were shot by the same person with the same gun. Our colleagues behind us have already followed the wheel tracks left by the suspected assailant at the scene to give chase, but unfortunately the scene is too remote, with many side roads and no surveillance coverage, so we haven't even found a trace of him."
Xu Lin: "Aren't you talking nonsense? We still have nothing on hand. Can't we locate the vehicle and find the person based on the tire tracks?"
