Chapter 1467 I, Junjun
At the Western front of the mountain where the main road was located, the special police force waited on standby. They blocked the road, but even if they hadn't, there wasn't anyone passing by in this place. So far, they only encountered a villager herding goats with his dog.
"Are you sure that we can trust CEO Jin's hired experts to rescue the child?" one of the officers asked.
"That was the Chief's instructions. We just need to obey."
"But we've been waiting here for so long."
They all stopped because one of their comrades was reporting something through their radio. It seemed that they sighted a group of armed men fleeing at the other side of the mountain. They weren't sure if those armed men had something to do with the kidnapping case, but as members of the police special force, they just couldn't let them go.
Their captain made a quick decision and split their group into two. One would chase the armed men while the other half would remain waiting for the child.
Some of the officers who were assigned to continue waiting were envious of the ones assigned to give chase. Waiting on standby like this was too boring. They were a special police force and yet they were commanded to wait like jilted wives.
CEO Jin Liwei assured them that his hired experts had already rescued the child and would deliver the child to them.
"Why don't CEO Jin's hired experts deliver the child directly to their family?" one of the newest recruits asked.
His comrade glanced at him as if he just asked a dumb question. "Wealthy people like CEO Jin have the money and power to hire the best experts. If those experts aren't yet employed by our state, then that means that their backgrounds aren't clean enough. Then they could only be hired privately."
"Meaning?"
The comrade sighed, shaking his head that this recruit might be indeed a little dumber than he expected. "It means that the experts CEO Jin hired this time might have criminal backgrounds. They can only operate in the shadows. That's why we're being used as a front to make the child's rescue more legitimate. Remember that CEO Jin's wife and brother are famous celebrities. They need to keep their reputations clean."
The recruit's eyes widened in shock. "But that's...that's cheating!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Then they stood in attention when their comrades at the front pointed their guns at the mountain. The recruit and the older officer all followed suit.
It was dark.
Since this was a mountain road, although cemented, there were no bright streetlights.
Even they, the special police force, couldn't help but have goosebumps in a place like this.
"Who's there?!"
Then they heard a soft cry like the soft mew of a kitten.
"Junjun! I, Junjun!"
A child limped out of the dark mountain trees with his bandaged little arms raised high in surrender. He was crying pitifully, as he looked at them while trembling.
"It's the child!"
"Is he alone?!"
"Yes, it looks like he's alone."
"What are you all waiting for?! Go get the child quickly!"
Everyone moved and took care of Little Jun.
Finally, they could feel useful after waiting for many hours.
