Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 518 - 333: Dead?

Back in his office, Doctor Kang was restless, constantly glancing at the clock on the wall, anxiety consuming him.

After a few minutes of indecision, he walked out of his office to the nurse’s station and asked the duty nurse, "Is the anti-inflammatory solution ready?"

"It’s ready." The nurse pointed at the small trolley nearby.

Doctor Kang nodded, casually found an excuse to temporarily send the young nurse away, and then pushed the trolley into the other room where he modified the three bottles of anti-inflammatory solution.

When he emerged after finishing, Qi Yun also happened to leave Brother Biao’s ward.

Doctor Kang’s eyes narrowed slightly as he picked up the tray and went to Brother Biao’s ward, pretending to treat his wounds.

After dressing the gauze, he retreated and returned to the nurse’s station.

"The wounds of the three patients are inflamed, you should administer the anti-inflammatory solution to them now," Doctor Kang instructed the young nurse.

"Administer it now? But Huahua just finished giving them the solution right before her shift ended, and it hasn’t been six hours yet," the nurse hesitated, flipping through the medical records.

Doctor Kang reached for the medical record and pretended to scrutinize it before closing it swiftly, speaking sternly, "The afternoon dosage wasn’t enough. I just checked the wounds and found the inflammation hasn’t subsided; it needs another dose, otherwise it will be harder to handle tomorrow."

"Do as I said, if anything goes wrong, I’ll take responsibility."

The young nurse hesitated but didn’t ask further, "Okay, I’ll go administer it now."

Seeing the young nurse push the trolley towards Liu Zi’s room opposite, Doctor Kang breathed a long sigh of relief. He dared not linger, fearing exposure and unable to extricate himself, thus he quickly disappeared down the corridor...

Not far away, in the office, Qi Yun was recounting the information he had "arranged for investigation" to Ge Dabao.

"He has a son!?" Ge Dabao showed surprise.

Qi Yun nodded, "Yes, attending fourth grade at the Second Experimental Primary School, named Li Xiaoshuai, took an extended leave from school yesterday, suspect he’s already been taken away."

After speaking, he added, "But this guy’s mouth is tight, even knowing his son is taken, he remains indifferent."

Beside him, a J officer interjected angrily, "These people are truly shameless! Using children as bargaining chips!"

Ge Dabao frowned, remained silent, and after contemplating for a few seconds, he immediately made arrangements, "Xiao Liu, take a team and investigate his son’s information immediately, bring the child back safely!"

"Dayou, come with me to interrogate him, we must make him talk." Ge Dabao said as he picked up the documents on the table, eyes determined, "Even if he trusts those people, his heart surely cannot be at ease."

"Lao Qi, you’ve been through so much traveling, go rest now. I’ll notify you with any news immediately."

"Alright." Qi Yun didn’t refuse, he had done his part, and the rest was left to the professionals, "An Zai, get us some midnight snacks."

"Okay." An Zai agreed promptly and walked away.

Qi Yun also stood up from his chair, patting Ge Dabao’s arm, "Thanks a lot for your hard work."

...

On the other side, Doctor Kang left the inpatient building, then dashed headlong to the parking lot.

Getting into his car, he shakily took out his phone and dialed a number.

"I...I’ve done as you said, once those people find out the suspect is dead, they’ll surely suspect me, send me away now!"

Responding was a middle-aged man’s voice, "No need to worry. Even if they suspect you, it doesn’t matter. I’ll arrange for a J car to take your family to the airport once results are confirmed, ensuring you board smoothly."

Doctor Kang’s heart still pounded furiously as he started the car and quickly drove away, shouting tearfully, "Don’t lie to me!"

Though he had no confidence, he dared not utter threats, only praying the other side would keep their promise, as the person on the phone had already revealed their identity upon contacting him.

Moreover, they held evidence of his dirty dealings with pharmaceutical companies, enough to ruin the latter half of his life; he wouldn’t dare risk such a deadly act otherwise...

In the ward, Ge Dabao and another J officer resumed interrogating Brother Biao, a case of Red Bull placed on the floor beside them, clearly ready to break him tonight.

Ge Dabao laid the transcript on the table, grabbed a can of Red Bull and popped the tab, taking a big sip as his gaze fell on Brother Biao’s taut face, "Do you really think your son is safe in their hands?"

Brother Biao kept his eyes shut, unresponsive, as if asleep.

Ge Dabao remained calm, continuing to persuade, "You know your situation; even if you don’t speak, with your accomplices’ identification and our evidence, conviction is certain."

"Once you’re dead, your son becomes a burden to them. Will they still treat him well?"

"I’ve seen too much of this over the years..."

Finally, Brother Biao’s closed eyes trembled involuntarily, but he didn’t open them, merely his Adam’s apple moved, swallowing back words on the verge of escaping.

He understood Ge Dabao’s words were true, and internally, he also didn’t fully trust those people, but had no choice.

Firstly, because his son was under their control, knowing his own fate was sealed, he dared not risk it.

Secondly, even if his son were safe, who would care for him after his death? If he spoke recklessly, would they retaliate?

Seeing from his perspective, the visible options were limited.

He didn’t think the ’Boss’ would fall, given the Boss had rooted in the region for so long, with influence untouchable; even if he disclosed everything, it might have no impact, potentially putting his son in danger.

Thus, he chose endurance, hoping his willingness to die might reward his son with a better future...

As silence pervaded inside, voices emerged from outside the door.

"The patient just got his wound treated. Per Doctor Kang’s order, I need to administer anti-inflammatory solution immediately to prevent infection," the young nurse explained to Guo An at the door.

The J officer shook his head firmly, "No, suspects are being interrogated inside. Regulations prohibit disturbance. Wait till the interrogation is over."

The young nurse, helpless, pushed the trolley back, intending to return later.

Time passed quickly, though Captain Ge explained the stakes clearly, Brother Biao showed no sign of cooperating.

Suddenly, a shout echoed down the hallway!

"Something’s wrong! The suspect’s heartbeat stopped!"
