Yan Han did not pick them up, instead, she gestured to him, and asked who he was.    

Li Nansheng couldn’t understand her gestures, so he forced the canoe and the oars to her, “Don’t drag it. I’m going back, I don’t know if the bullet on Achi’s leg was taken out.”

Yan Han then realized that Li Nansheng didn’t understand her gestures like Han Chi, so she put the canoe in the water, jumped onto the canoe, and rowed toward Yunjing City without looking back.

Li Nansheng saw that Yan Han was drawing far, and immediately turned around and drove toward the island.

Li Nansheng arrived at the island at more than 6 a.m. when it was already bright, and drove to the emergency room and hurriedly found the doctor who operated on Han Chi. The doctor turned over the medical record and began to describe the patient’s condition to him without expression, “The bullet has been successfully taken out, but it has injured the nerve. The patient may have a sequelae after healing.”

“Ah? What kind of sequela?” Li Nansheng grabbed the doctor’s sleeve anxiously.

The doctor was still expressionless, “Just walking will be a little hard, but it will not have much impact on his life.”

Seeing that Li Nansheng was still not letting go, the doctor gave him a blank look and said, “Do you have anything else to ask? I’m getting off work.”

“Oh, oh, I’m sorry,” he showed a very embarrassed smile and kept apologizing.

“Doctor, which ward is my brother in?” 

The doctor pointed him in the direction, and said, “Go out from this door, walk to the inpatient department, and ask the nurse in the inpatient department.”

Li Nansheng thanked him and hurriedly walked to the inpatient department.

When he found the ward where Han Chi was staying, he found Han Chi lying on the bed to rest. It was estimated that the effect of the anesthetic had not yet faded.

Li Nansheng’s spirit had reached a critical point at this moment, and he fell asleep quickly on the edge of the hospital bed.

At 7:30 in the morning, Ji Hongyi got up on time as usual. When he went to the living room, he found that there was no breakfast prepared in advance on the table. Every day he had breakfast at this point, and his son would prepare sandwiches and hot tea on time. For the first time in years, he saw that the table was empty.

“Xiao Yan, what time is it? Haven’t you got up yet?” Ji Hongyi shouted to Ji Zhaoyan’s room, but he didn’t answer him.

“Xiao Yan,” he shouted again, but still did not get a response.

“This kid, why did he sleep like the dead today?” Ji Hongyi decided not to call him again, and went to the bathroom to wash first.

After washing, he found that Ji Zhaoyan still didn’t show up, and his face showed a little anger. He went to Ji Zhaoyan’s room and planned to knock on the door hard. As soon as he did, he found that the door opened automatically. It turned out that the door was not closed, but was open.

He called his son’s name and pushed the door open. There was no one in the room and the quilt on the bed was not folded.

“Where is he?” Ji Hongyi muttered to himself in wonder.

Ji Hongyi went to the living room, took a cup and poured a glass of water, took a few sips, packed his briefcase, and went to the hallway to change shoes. When changing shoes, he found that the leather shoes that Ji Zhaoyan wore the previous day were gone, but the slippers he wore in the house were in the shoe cabinet.

So Xiao Yan should have gone out.

“The child didn’t greet me before he went out.”

Ji Hongyi locked the door and walked to the CDC.

On the way to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Ji Hongyi sent a few text messages to Ji Zhaoyan, but he did not respond. He dialed Ji Zhaoyan’s number again, and it showed that he was not in the service area.

What happened? Ji Hongyi felt more and more strange.

As soon as he sat in the office, he made a call to Ji Zhaoyan’s laboratory. The one who answered the phone was a female researcher. Ji Hongyi asked her if Ji Zhaoyan was in the laboratory. The female researcher answered that Professor Ji was not in the laboratory.

“Then have you seen him today?”

“No, I didn’t see him .”

Ji Hongyi felt more puzzled. In the past, Ji Zhaoyan was either in the laboratory or home. 

Why was he not at home or in the laboratory at this time?

“If you see Professor Ji later, you can ask him to come to my office. I have something to talk to  him about.”

The female researcher obediently replied, “Okay.” 

As soon as Ji Hongyi hung up the phone, his secretary hurried in to report to him, “Director, several professors reported to me that there was a pool of blood on the seventh floor of the experimental building. The researchers and professors on the seventh floor are talking about it now. I’m afraid it will have a great impact if it continues, so I’m here to ask your opinion.”

“When was the bloodstain found?”

“A researcher on the seventh floor found it at 6:30 this morning.”

“Did you ask when the blood stain appeared?”

“I have asked the last researcher who left last night. He said he didn’t notice blood on the seventh floor when he left. I also asked several other researchers. They all said they didn’t find blood in the corridor when they left yesterday afternoon.”

“What about the security personnel patrolling at night? Did you ask them?”

“The security guard on duty last night was Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao said he patrolled the floor around 3 a.m. when the corridor was very dark, so he didn’t notice.”

“Then go to the Armed Forces Department to get the monitoring and see what’s going on first.”

“Okay, I’ll go to the Armed Forces Department to get the monitoring.” 

After reporting the work, Secretary Liu immediately went to the Armed Forces Department.

After Secretary Liu left, Ji Hongyi felt uneasy in his office, so he made another call to Ji Zhaoyan’s laboratory. This time it was another researcher who answered the call, and the same answer was still on the other end of the phone, saying that they never saw Professor Ji.

It was almost nine o’clock, why hadn’t Xiao Yan come to the laboratory yet? He didn’t even reply to the text messages, and even call back.

Ji Hongyi decided to wait for Secretary Liu to come back and ask him to help him find Ji Zhaoyan, so he sat at his desk to deal with official duties, but he couldn’t concentrate all this time, it was like sitting on pins and needles.

He had to close the computer and walk to the seventh floor of the experimental building.
