Chapter 1623: Chapter 773: Attack Bounty_2

Xu Xiaoyan was furious, whispering, "Yan Xiaofei, do you think you’re some old monk reciting sutras? If I say I’m not going, then I’m not. You’re going on official business, just finish it and hurry back. I won’t be any help if I go with you, and you’d still have to look after me. Isn’t that troublesome for you?"

"Not troublesome at all." Yan Fei replied with a playful grin. "Having you with me gives me the energy to get things done. If you don’t go, I don’t even feel like going. Didn’t you say this opportunity is rare? Let’s go, let’s go..."

"Not going." Xu Xiaoyan glared at him. "I’m preparing for graduate studies! If I don’t get in, I’ll just go home and manage the accounts in the fields, and don’t you dare let me stay here with you. If I’m not studying, can I afford to do nothing here?"

"If you don’t get in this year, there’s always next year!" Yan Fei had a thick skin, immune to his wife’s glare. "You won’t be idle if you don’t get in, right? Look at how much I have on my plate now; you could manage things there while preparing for your own graduate studies, helping me to concentrate on my education. I’m also planning to pursue graduate studies, even a doctorate!"

"I don’t believe you, hmph!" The girl scoffed, throwing him a look of disbelief. "You wish. If I don’t get in, I won’t stay here..."

Yan Fei wanted to say more, but suddenly his phone in his pocket vibrated. After picking up the call for a few seconds, his expression changed dramatically: "I’ll be there immediately, don’t panic, tell the hospital to do their best to save them, if TCM Hospital can’t handle it, have experts from other hospitals come over, no matter the cost... I’ll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, his face was incredibly grim: "We won’t be able to finish the movie. Teacher Yu from the lab was attacked on his way, and he’s now in critical condition at TCM Hospital, we need to get there immediately."

"Ah?" Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed in surprise. "What happened?"

"Let’s talk on the way, we need to leave now," Yan Fei said, still comparatively calm as he urged the girl and headed outside. "I don’t know the details yet, let’s go see for ourselves at the hospital first."

They exited the building, got into the car in the parking lot, and Yan Fei drove recklessly towards Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, not even bothering with traffic lights when the roads were clear.

After parking the car, he and Xu Xiaoyan both ran into the hospital.

When they reached the entrance of the operating room, they saw a crowd of anxious teachers and students, as well as two police officers in uniform inquiring about the incident next to them.

"What exactly happened? Was it an attempted robbery or...?"

"It wasn’t a robbery, just an assault," said a student with red-rimmed eyes. "I was walking on the inside when the motorcycle passed by me. I saw the person with a stick but didn’t understand what was happening. It was too late by the time Teacher Yu turned around. He only managed to push Zhao Xiyan out of the way before getting hit himself. The assailant did it on purpose, hitting Teacher Yu, who then fell to the ground."

Yan Fei fell silent for a moment, standing quietly by the door of the operating room.

A little while later, his expression softened a bit: "Don’t worry, everyone. Teacher Yu is out of danger now; the doctors will be coming out soon."

He paused, then continued: "Who saw clearly what those two were wearing? What kind of motorcycle did they ride?"

"One was wearing black and the other seemed to wear gray... or maybe it was army green. I was a bit panicked when I saw Teacher Yu fall, so I can’t remember clearly..." said a student stepping forward.

"I’m quite interested in motorcycles and remember the color. It was a red one. My hometown has one similar to it, I think it was a Jialing 125..." another student added.

"That’s right, a Jialing 125. I have one at home. They wore helmets, one red and one black..."

"One person wore white sneakers..."

"Another person wore black pants and black leather shoes..."

"..."

The group of teachers and students continued to chime in one after another, while Yan Fei quickly organized the information they provided in his mind, soon forming a rough picture of the two assailants.

He then took out his phone and dialed a number: "Hello, Director Xu, this is Yan Fei from Cow Flower Company... Yes, hello hello. I’ve got a situation here and I need to insert an urgent message, can you arrange that for me?"

"It’s very important, extremely significant, my apologies for the trouble. Just moments ago, two individuals attacked while riding a motorcycle, targeting the Agricultural University students and staff as they were returning to campus from my lab."

"I want to issue a reward notice, take note please. We have an eyewitness who can provide information. The attackers were two individuals—one in army green jacket, black pants, white sneakers, red helmet. The other in black jacket and black pants, wearing leather shoes and a black helmet. They were driving a red Jialing 125 motorcycle, and the person at the back was wielding a stick... A reward of fifty thousand is offered for information that leads to a clue. Two hundred thousand for catching them and taking them to the police station..."

"Broadcast it right now, whatever the cost, I’ll pay you back later. We have already filed a report, and right now, there’s a police officer with us."

Yan Fei paused for a moment and signaled to the two uniformed officers: "Comrades, could you please provide verification?"

The two uniformed officers hesitated briefly, and then the older one stepped forward and said into the phone: "Hello, this is from the police station on University Road, my colleague and I are currently at the hospital. Yes, everything Boss Yan has stated is true."

After he finished, Yan Fei immediately resumed speaking on the phone: "When announcing the reward, please leave my phone number. Can you broadcast it as soon as possible?"

"And mine too," Xu Xiaoyan reminded from the side.

"Right, include my wife’s phone number too, I say, take note... Leave both of our numbers... As long as the information provided confirms the identity of the criminal, fifty thousand will be paid immediately. For delivering the person to the police station, two hundred thousand on the spot."

"Broadcast it on all the stations you manage, don’t worry about the cost, you always trust my credibility..."

The person on the other end of the phone, Director Xu, is from the Provincial Station, and over the years, he cannot even remember how many advertisements Cow Flower Company has broadcasted on television. Moreover, there had never been any need for them to chase payments from Cow Flower Company, as the deal was always promptly finalized with immediate payment—certainly, he could trust what Boss Yan, the CEO, said.

The group of students and staff were still immersed in anger and sadness, while the two officers didn’t know what to say. A fifty thousand reward for information, two hundred thousand for capturing the assailants. These rewards made them both feel like heading out to catch the culprits right away.

Yan Fei held the phone and waited in silence, the rage in his heart still uncontrollable.

For such a group of students and staff, he didn’t dare to boast, but those selected to work in his lab were arguably excellent in their fields. Typically focused on academics at the university, they were well-behaved and law-abiding.

And yet, someone dared to attack them—this was not just an attack on them; it was clearly aimed at him.

He had seen many courting death, but never ones seeking it in such a manner. If he didn’t send them on their way, he felt he would be doing them injustice. At that moment, those two attackers had already been issued a one-way ticket to the dinosaur world in his mind.

The punishment meted out by the police station for catching the culprits was not nearly enough to quell his fury.

Soon after, the doors to the operating room opened. The first to come out was a middle-aged physician who removed his mask and smiled at them: "It was a close call, fortunately, you brought him in on time, and the issue wasn’t too serious. The patient is now out of danger, and if nothing comes up overnight, he’ll be fine by tomorrow."

"Thank you, doctor," Yan Fei said. "Please use any equipment or medicine that’s necessary. Don’t worry about the cost; whatever you need, I can provide..."

"Haha, rest assured young man, I’m sure your teacher will be fine," the middle-aged physician chuckled upon hearing Yan Fei’s generous offer. "It’s just because of the patient’s age that we need to keep an eye on him. It’s not a major problem; as long as he wakes up tonight, he should mostly be out of the woods."

With these reassuring words, the staff and students’ tension eased.

The television station was very efficient. It wasn’t yet an age of endless entertainment, and it wasn’t easy to book advertising slots. Faced with a premium client like Yan Fei, their efficiency was extraordinarily high.

About an hour later, during the commercial break of a TV drama on the Provincial Station, the reward notice was broadcasted.
