Chapter 411: You

From the voice, Officer Hua judged that the person shouting must be Yu Dazhang's master.

He had always thought the man was very composed—how could he become so agitated so easily in a crisis?

"Try not to let him drive," Officer Hua instructed.

"His current emotional state isn't suitable for operating a vehicle."

At this moment, Officer Hua was already waiting downstairs at the hospital, his heart racing.

He had just hung up the phone and hadn't even caught his breath when his phone rang again.

He glanced at the caller ID—it was the senior leader calling.

He took a deep breath and pressed answer.

"The traffic police have sealed off the main route from the city center to the Fourth Hospital to ensure the blood-delivery police car passes without obstruction."

A tense voice came from the other end of the line:

"You must be ready to receive the blood at any moment—I'm on my way to you now."

Hearing the senior leader's words, Officer Hua's heartbeat grew even more frantic.

Traffic police sealed the road!

This was clearly an exercise of special authority.

He steadied himself and quickly replied: "I'm already waiting downstairs—I won't delay anything!"

After ending the call, Officer Hua phoned Qi Fang and relayed the news about the traffic police road closure.

Another five minutes passed.

A police car sped toward them, its excessive speed producing a screeching brake sound and a pungent exhaust odor.

The door opened, and two officers stepped out carrying a blood transport box.

Officer Hua immediately rushed forward:

"Give me the box!"

After taking the box, he sprinted toward the emergency room upstairs.

At that moment, a nurse was waiting outside the emergency room; seeing the blood transport box in his hands, she paused in surprise, then immediately reacted.

"You're still faster."

She sighed, swiftly took the box, and walked into the emergency room.

Watching the emergency room door close, Officer Hua finally exhaled in relief.

"I'll be downstairs—if anything happens, call me immediately."

After giving instructions to the police officer stationed there, he hurried back downstairs.

Soon after, another police car arrived at high speed—faster than the previous one.

"Squeee!"

A sharp, piercing screech of brakes echoed, leaving long skid marks on the ground.

Lu Zhongxin nearly leapt out of the driver's seat; he ran to Officer Hua and grabbed his arm.

"How is he now?!"

Both his tone and the act of grabbing the arm were extremely impolite.

Moreover, Lu Zhongxin was merely an ordinary criminal investigator, while Officer Hua was the Deputy Director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation General Team.

Their ranks differed vastly—there was no comparison.

But at this moment, Lu Zhongxin didn't care about any of that.

His tone was harsh, as if he harbored resentment toward Officer Hua.

"He's still in the emergency room," Officer Hua replied.

He noticed that Yu Dazhang's master had bloodshot eyes and looked extremely tense.

This anxiety and concern couldn't be faked.

"All we can do now is cooperate with the doctors."

Officer Hua patted Lu Zhongxin's hand on his arm, signaling him to let go, and softly reassured him:

"Plasma has already been delivered ahead of you—I believe he'll be fine."

At that moment, he noticed a Songhai police officer closely following Lu Zhongxin, holding a blood transport box.

The man's expression was also tense.

Though the box was designed to be carried by hand, he clutched it tightly against his chest.

From his demeanor, anyone who dared to lay a hand on that box would face a life-or-death response.

The Songhai police officer is going to lose it… Officer Hua hadn't expected their bond with Yu Dazhang to be this deep.

Wasn't that fatty only in the police force for less than a year?

He had intended to take the blood transport box, but seeing Zhang Sen's state, he gave up.

"Come with me," he said helplessly.

"Keep your voices down when you speak—don't disturb the doctors."

Upstairs, the group waited by the emergency room door for a while, until the same nurse emerged again.

When she saw Zhang Sen clutching the blood transport box, her expression grew complex.

"Give it to me," the nurse said as she took the box, then added with a sigh:

"You're still the most efficient."

"How much more do you need?" Officer Hua asked on the spot.

"We can prepare in advance—if it's still not enough, we'll mobilize O-type blood donors."

With these two boxes of blood as emergency supplies, they now had ample preparation time.

"That's enough, no need to prepare anything else."

After leaving those words, the nurse turned around and went back into the emergency room.

"You…" Captain Hua had wanted to ask her how the rescue was going, but the nurse didn't give him a chance to speak.

In no time at all, the entrance to the emergency room was packed with people—all members of the task force.

"No need for everyone to wait here."

Captain Hua said to Qi Fang:

"Take people to the Baling City Bureau. Once Zhang Chao's mother's condition is stable, interrogate her immediately. Get valuable leads as soon as possible—this case is more complicated than we imagined."

When the case came up, everyone glanced at the emergency room in unison.

If it weren't for the fatty lying inside, this case would very likely have been closed.

Even if they realized it afterward, the main suspect would have long since fled overseas with the money, and trying to bring him back would be like fishing for a needle in the ocean.

With the illicit funds Zhang Chao's mother had control of, it would be virtually effortless for her to change her identity abroad and start a new life.

"Got it."

Qi Fang acknowledged, then beckoned to the officers from the provincial bureau.

Just as they turned to leave, Captain Hua reminded them:

"Right, we also need to contact the children's Fuli Academy and have them come pick up the child. Let them handle the follow-up custody arrangements."

When Qi Fang and the others left, Lu Zhongxin and his four companions didn't follow, and Captain Hua said nothing about it.

Now that all the suspects had been caught, the upcoming interrogation work wouldn't need that many people.

Besides, Yu Dazhang was the backbone of the Songhai group to begin with. With him lying inside, Lu Zhongxin and the others had no mind to do anything else right now.

Twenty minutes later.

Just as everyone waited anxiously, the officer from the port police station suddenly spoke up and asked:

"Why do you all look so anxious?"

At those words, all five people, Captain Hua included, turned to look at him.

Isn't that obvious?

Our man is getting emergency treatment inside—of course we're anxious.

What's wrong with this kid? We're all in the same system. Even if we're not familiar with each other, he shouldn't be making snide remarks.

Seeing the unfriendly looks, Officer Comrade quickly explained:

"I mean, your man only got a little injured. Why do you all look like his life is hanging by a thread?"

A little injured? All five of them stared at him, completely baffled.

No, where exactly are you getting that he only got a little injured?

Shot, unconscious, massive blood loss…

And you call that a minor injury?

Then what would a serious injury look like?

Are you blind? Didn't you see the two cases of blood that just got carried in?

The five of them glared at him, looking ready to eat someone alive, and their stares actually made Officer Comrade's hair stand on end.

"Look at where you are."

Seeing he couldn't make himself understood, the officer simply pointed at the emergency room sign and said:

"You don't happen to not know what an emergency room is for, do you? If he were really in life-threatening danger, he would have been wheeled out of here long ago."
