Chapter 304
Liu Yun and Liu Qian were desperate to find Chenyang immediately.
They knew that every minute wasted put Chenyang in greater danger.
But the question was, how could they find him?
The person who lured Chenyang away wore sunglasses and a mask, so their face was completely obscured.
And when they left, they deliberately took a route outside the view of any surveillance cameras.
They left no trace, giving them nowhere to start.
Besides, the fact that they knew the camera blind spots and specifically chose a moment when no one was paying attention to Chenyang meant this was all premeditated.
Against such a premeditated act, it would be difficult for even professional police to find Chenyang, let alone ordinary women like them.
"What do we do?"
The three women were frantic, but despite being too anxious to sit still, they were completely helpless.
"What’s the word from the president?" Liu Qian asked.
Liu Yun sighed. "Because of the gravity of this incident, the president was called into a meeting with the relevant departments. I haven’t been able to reach him. Vice President Kang Yiming is on his way from home and said he’s already sent people to search the areas outside the hospital."
"All we can do is wait."
"Just sit here and wait?"
"What else can we do? Do you have a better idea?"
Wang Lili pursed her lips and shook her head.
Liu Qian took a deep breath. "Liu Yun, keep your phone on. The moment Chenyang gets free, he’ll definitely contact you.
Aside from that, just go back to your duties. Panicking won’t help us right now."
Liu Yun dejectedly nodded and, after returning to the emergency department, started scrolling through her phone.
She didn’t know what to do, but she couldn’t just sit around and wait. She scrolled through her contacts, trying to think of any friends who might be able to help.
Liu Qian and Wang Lili also returned to the cardiology department. The two of them didn’t stay idle, either. Wang Lili went to ask patients in the nearby wards if they had seen Chenyang leave or gotten a clear look at the person who led him away.
Meanwhile, Liu Qian sat quietly, reviewing the day’s events in her mind and trying to figure out who could have taken Chenyang.
After some thought, a few faces emerged in her mind.
And of all of them, the one she found most suspicious was Lin Jiji.
She wanted to contact Lin Jiji but didn’t have his contact information.
After some anxious deliberation, she stood up and headed back toward Mr. Lin’s hospital room.
’Going to see Mr. Lin this late will definitely disturb his rest. And it’s sure to piss off Lin Xiaoyue.’
But to get Chenyang back safely, she couldn’t afford to worry about that now.
Just as she reached the door to the room, she ran right into Lin Xiaoyue, who was on her way out.
"Director Liu? Are you still doing rounds this late?"
"I’m not on rounds. There’s a matter I need help with from you and Mr. Lin."
Hearing this, an impatient look immediately crossed Lin Xiaoyue’s face. "My uncle had a lot to drink and just fell asleep. Don’t bother him."
"But..."
Before Liu Qian could explain, Lin Xiaoyue cut her off. "Director Liu, we have a doctor-patient relationship. We’re grateful to you for treating us here in the hospital. It’s our duty as patients to cooperate with your treatment, and it’s simple courtesy to show you respect. But we are under no obligation to help you with your personal matters again and again."
Liu Qian nodded. "I apologize. I know I shouldn’t be bothering you right now, but this is an emergency. It’s a matter of life and death. I have no one else to turn to."
Lin Xiaoyue had been about to refuse curtly and ignore Liu Qian, but her expression shifted the moment she heard the words "a matter of life and death."
"A matter of life and death? What’s going on?"
"Chenyang is missing!"
"So? If he’s missing, go find him."
"He was abducted. We suspect it was Lin Jiji, or someone connected to him. I came to you hoping you could ask him if he did it. If he did, please tell him to let Chenyang go. He can name his price; we’ll do whatever we can to meet his demands. Just... please don’t let him hurt Chenyang."
Lin Xiaoyue’s expression grew complicated. "Lin Jiji abducted Chenyang? Are you sure?"
"No, but it’s highly likely. Aside from him, Chenyang hasn’t made an enemy of anyone else."
"How can you say that? He’s taken advantage of so many female patients. What if one of their husbands decided to get revenge?"
At those words, Liu Qian’s head snapped up. Her first instinct was to curse the girl out.
But the thought of Chenyang’s safety made her swallow her anger. "Miss Lin, I don’t have anything against you or Lin Jiji. And I don’t want to argue about who’s right or wrong right now.
I’m only asking for your help as a process of elimination so we can find Chenyang faster. If you’re unwilling to ask him yourself, could you please just give me his phone number?"
