Special Forces Medic-Chapter 866 - 839: A Highly Suspicious Person

"Chose the middle route!" Xiao Lin had met Hua Muyun's driver, an honest and reliable person, not very talkative but a very steady driver with a tight mouth. "For Lao Yan to do something out of line, he must have been threatened. Investigate if there have been any suspicious people around him these days, who he has been in contact with, you should be able to find something."

"There's one more thing I can't quite understand, there was a phenomenon at the meeting I hosted that day, which did not fit with the atmosphere at the time. Thinking back, it's indeed very odd."

"What do you mean? Be specific."

"The secretary meeting is held once every two weeks internally, and at the time, Wang Zhanting appeared at the meeting, and furthermore, he proposed a lot of suggestions and plans regarding the meeting content, stretching the one-hour meeting to two hours forcefully, so I find this very strange."

"Wang Zhanting?"

"That's right! Isn't it odd for someone who wouldn't appear at the meeting to show up suddenly? The secretary office matters have never been directly connected with his duties, however, because his secretary was unwell and couldn't attend the meeting, he participated as a substitute."

"Absence at the secretary meeting, how do you handle this meeting?"

"If there's a factual reason preventing participation in the meeting, we don't add anything extra."

Xiao Lin laughed lightly a couple of times. "Tomorrow is the municipal leadership cadre meeting; you'll be facing a tough battle tomorrow, but it'll be easy to know what's going on then. If everything goes as expected, someone will step forward to inquire about Secretary Hua's whereabouts, remember these people, among them some should be connected to the matter, right? Sorting them out, it's easy to guess what's going on." Xiao Lin was very certain about the developments in the meeting tomorrow.

"Mr. Xiao says he will attend the meeting tomorrow."

"Oh? My old man is going to attend? Then it'll be easier for you, just let him handle it, there's nothing to worry about with Luo Gei, I basically know who it is."

"You already know?"

"Not yet certain, let's see tomorrow's meeting results! Preparation for Elder Hua, take some clothes for washing, wait for my news then send them over."

"I can't leave him at this time!"

"You staying here is pointless, I'll remain by his side, I have some questions for him, with you here, he won't be able to answer conveniently, right?"

"Alright, I understand."

After seeing off Secretary Luo, Xiao Lin didn't go upstairs to find Hua Muyun, instead he circled around the military district hospital a few times. This hospital, situated within the military district, is only open internally, it's a place for some elderly cadres to recuperate. Though it doesn't open to outsiders, many people go in and out, mostly of official families. As long as there's a circulation of people, there's no absolute secret, Hua Muyun's attack can quickly be spread, assuming the first attempt wasn't effective, there might be a second strike.

Previously while guarding, Xiao Lin didn't describe 'Black Crow' in detail. If it's not an assassin this time, then the assassin's method exceeds his imagination range. Although he had the answer in his mind, he's unable to contact Yi now to confirm the situation, presently making a bold assumption, it's not an assassin but gang members, domestic ones are unlikely, there are only a few foreign forces that can contend with them.

"Shou, the assassin I want you to investigate is likely from the Italian Mafia, find those who recently have interactions with Wang Zhantian, or have exiting records. I suspect the attack on Hua Muyun is related to them."

"Understood, give me a day's time."

After hanging up, he slowly ascended to the special care ward. Hua Muyun, after being under observation for twelve hours, was transferred to the special care ward located on the top floor of the military district hospital, a very quiet spot with only a few wards reserved for special guests.

Upon entering, Xiao Lin saw Hua Muyun with eyes open, and as soon as he saw Xiao Lin, he beckoned to him.

"Old man, you can't move now, be careful not to break open the wound, if it really opens, it'll be troublesome." Seeing Hua Muyun attempting to sit up, Xiao Lin immediately stepped forward to press him down on the bed. "Don't throw a child's tantrum, understood?" Treating him like coaxing a child, Xiao Lin sat by Hua Muyun's side.

"You bratty kid, I haven't aged to the point of needing your coaxing." Though the voice was still weak, it carried the confidence of his recovery.

"I naturally know, old man, you don't need my coaxing now, if you wish to go back on the operating table, I don't mind, I could certainly perform the surgery again." Xiao Lin said with a playful grin.

"You bratty kid, don't threaten me, I know your skills well, for a patient to get back into the operating room within twenty-four hours under your care, wouldn't it tarnish your military doctor reputation?" Hua Muyun didn't insist on sitting up, just asked Xiao Lin to adjust the bed so he could sit more comfortably.

"The old man understands, don't ruin my reputation; in the future, I'll have to rely on it for a living."

"Thank you this time, if it weren't for you, this old life of mine might have been accounted for here."

"Old man, you also ought to thank another person, if it weren't for him assisting me, I wouldn't have completed the surgery so smoothly."

"Who are you referring to? For you to find him as an assistant, surely he's not a simple person."

"Xiao Lin hereby apologize to the old man, please don't blame Xiao Lin for acting recklessly." Seeing Xiao Lin's seriousness, Hua Muyun became curious about the person's identity.

"How could it be considered a reckless act when you saved my life, what did you do wrong?"

"I didn't finish to the end, after the key surgery, I handed you over to Mu Rongyun to operate."

"What? You... you brat..."

Hua Muyun furrowed his brow, possibly the excitement just now causing pain in the wound, Xiao Lin quickly uncovered the quilt, opened the bandage to check inside, fortunately there was no tear, needless to say, Mu Rongyun's suturing skills are more sophisticated than his.

"I know you'd be angry, but even so, I had to do that, because I have my thinking, very sorry to have made the old man a test subject once."

"Lao Xiao knows as well!"

"Yes, during the operation, he was waiting outside all along." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Since he tacitly approved, I won't say anything more."

"It's not like that, my father didn't approve, simply based on the analysis at the time, he chose silence, for which I got slapped once." (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it, your support is my greatest motivation.)
