Seeing that they had communicated well, Yunyi started to pack up her things. "Alright, remember to come back in three days to have your dressing changed."
Qiao Shaoguo glanced at Huo Jingrui before he and Xiaoliu left together.
Once outside the clinic’s door, he deliberately scolded, "You’re a grown man, yet still so impetuous! The end of the year is busy enough as it is, and it’s a critical time. But look at you, getting injured right now."
Xiaoliu was quite frustrated. "Qiao Tuan, I didn’t want this to happen either, but I just happened to run into trouble. What could I do?"
Qiao Shaoguo glared at Xiaoliu. "Are your eyes on the back of your head?"
After that, visibly irritated, he clasped his hands behind his back and strode off.
He didn’t have time to waste words here with this mindless fellow. He had to go to the foot of the mountain to meet the comrades from the armed forces department.
He went to the county, found the head of the armed forces department, and delivered the letter Huo Jingrui had written. They immediately made arrangements. By now, officers from the Public Security Bureau had been fully mobilized, implementing controls and conducting inspections throughout the county seat.
This meant those lurking in the shadows would also get word. He and Huo Jingrui both feared these people might resort to desperate measures, as they were utterly unscrupulous.
No sooner had he entered his office than the phone rang. "Hello, this is Hua’an Farm Reclamation. Who am I speaking to?"
The voice on the other end was urgent. "Chief Qiao, we just received an urgent notification from the city. Three children of high-ranking officials in the city have been kidnapped, and the clues we’ve traced lead to our county.
The county is currently conducting a search, and your Hua’an Farm Reclamation also needs to conduct an overnight search."
Qiao Shaoguo didn’t need much explanation to understand the gravity of the situation, especially since they had just met at the Public Security Bureau. But hearing that children had been kidnapped enraged him. The criminals’ ruthless tactics, using innocent children as pawns, made him slam his hand on the table.
The situation was becoming increasingly complicated. He had been somewhat reassured knowing that the armed forces department was coming to help, but now he wasn’t so sure.
It was very likely those people were heading this way with the children, especially since this group was after the items hidden deep in the mountains. After suffering so many losses, they naturally wouldn’t give up so easily.
