Chapter 495: Chapter 458: Director Zhong, Rescue

The people from the Lingshui City Public Security Bureau arrived before anyone from the school. Compared to before, the Lingshui City Public Security Bureau had seen some major personnel changes.

Aside from Zhou Weiping, whom Li Qian knew, none of the others—including Director Peng Zhongyan—were in the group.

"Hello, Li Qian." The leader of the group, a slender man who looked to be in his early thirties, spoke first. "I’m Zhong Daqi, the newly appointed Director of this Lingshui City Public Security Bureau."

"Hello, Director Zhong." Li Qian’s first impression of the young new Public Security Bureau director was quite good. He looked like the hands-on, pragmatic type.

Moreover, judging by his presence, this new director was clearly formidable. His strength was likely much greater than that of the previous director, Director Peng.

In fact, it wasn’t just Director Zhong. The four captains beside him also projected an immense presence, as deep as an abyss and as steady as a mountain. Zhou Weiping, standing next to these five powerhouses, looked completely outclassed.

When he’d previously cooperated with the Jiangnan Province Public Security Bureau, Deputy Director Zhao Yong had promised to bolster Lingshui City’s security forces. It now seemed the main bureau had indeed made the necessary arrangements.

He could also tell that if not for Zhou Weiping’s good relationship with him—serving as a bridge for communication—he would have very likely been transferred away as well.

After all, his strength really wasn’t up to par.

"I’m sorry, Li Qian. This incident is our responsibility. Our negligence led to your mother suffering this terrible ordeal." Director Zhong opened with an apology.

Hearing Director Zhong’s apology, Li Qian swallowed back the words caught in his throat.

In truth, Li Qian knew it was somewhat unfair to blame Director Zhong and his people.

After all, a thief can strike at any time, but you can’t stand guard every single day.

Besides, Li Qian was well aware that the Blood Demon Sect’s methods were bizarre and incredibly difficult to defend against.

"How is your mother doing now?" Director Zhong asked with concern immediately after his apology.

"I had my Pet Beast use Purification Skills to force the Blood Spirit Gu out of her body. However, because it was parasitizing her for some time, the removal process inevitably caused a certain degree of damage. She’s still unconscious right now!" Li Qian let out a long breath, stating the facts.

Shortly after he finished speaking, another large group of people rushed over.

This group of about a dozen people were all dressed in white and had arrived in two ambulances.

Clearly, the medical team from the hospital had arrived.

Seeing this, Li Qian immediately paused his conversation with Director Zhong and led the medical team into Building One.

Saving a life was the priority, so Director Zhong didn’t say a word.

The leader of the medical team was a middle-aged man with salt-and-pepper hair.

The middle-aged man projected an air of calm reliability and trustworthiness.

"Doctor, please, come look at my mom!" Li Qian and Li Chengyang both turned to the man with salt-and-pepper hair, Li Qian’s voice laced with anxiety.

"Please, calm down. Let us examine her first," the man with salt-and-pepper hair said, reassuring Li Qian and Li Chengyang.

As he spoke, he was already leading a small team of three to the bedside.

With a wave of his hand, a pile of instruments suddenly appeared out of thin air before everyone with a CLATTER.

Clearly, he had Spatial Equipment as well.

After taking out the various pieces of diagnostic equipment, a summoning light glowed once more.

A moment later, an egg-shaped Pet Beast, pink all over with light-blue markings, appeared before them.

It was the most common of all Life Element Pet Beasts—the Cloud Valley Egg.

Once summoned, the Cloud Valley Egg made a series of cute, cooing sounds, looking eager to get to work.

And that was indeed the case.

It quickly began to assist the salt-and-pepper-haired man with the examination.

It handed over instruments, prepared medications, and monitored the various devices with precise, Skilled movements.

’In terms of medical assistance alone,’ Li Qian thought, ’its abilities were probably no worse than those of a senior head nurse.’

After more than ten minutes of intense work, the salt-and-pepper-haired man finally stopped.

He tapped on his smart bracelet, then waved his hand, and a screen of light abruptly materialized in front of him.

On the left side of the light screen was a 3D diagram of a human body. It was like a transparent view, clearly showing her muscles, skeleton, and even all her internal organs.

The right side was filled with all sorts of data.

The middle-aged man stared at the 3D diagram and the data on the screen for a moment, then nodded.

He turned to look at Li Qian and then Li Chengyang. "You two are the patient’s family, I presume?"

Li Chengyang immediately nodded. "She’s my wife!"

The salt-and-pepper-haired man focused his gaze on Li Chengyang, let out a long breath, and then said, "Your wife... the problem isn’t serious!"

"From what I can see, she’s unconscious because her bodily functions flared to an extreme level in a short amount of time. This left her system severely depleted, and her body entered a self-preservation mode."

He continued without pausing, "Because she has a good physical constitution to begin with, her condition isn’t very serious."

"For the next month or so, as long as you take extra care, she avoids any strenuous exercise and focuses on recuperating, she should basically recover."

"I’ll give her a few nutrient injections for now. After that, we’ll also have some nutritional supplements delivered. As long as she takes them regularly, a full recovery won’t be a problem."

Hearing the doctor’s words, Li Qian let out a long sigh. The heavy weight in his chest finally lifted.

The medical team remained in Building One for a while longer.

The salt-and-pepper-haired doctor offered his advice. "Given your wife’s current condition, she isn’t suited for the strain of travel. Besides, even if she went to the hospital, she wouldn’t receive better treatment. The plan I’ve laid out is the most appropriate one for this stage. Therefore, I recommend there’s no need to move her to a hospital. She can recuperate right here at home."

Li Chengyang thought about it, realized it made sense, and agreed.

Li Qian didn’t say much either.

In fact, even if the doctor hadn’t said so, Li Qian would have asked if she could recuperate on-site.

His reasoning was the same as the doctor’s, though he also had other ideas in mind.

’The Blood Demon Sect had orchestrated such a bizarre and vicious attack; Li Qian had no intention of letting them get off scot-free.’

Once the medical team left, he planned to discuss the matter with the people from his school and with Director Zhong’s team.

He wanted to see if there was a way to use this opportunity to strike back at the rats hiding in the shadows.
