Chapter 1022: Something Feels Off
Everyone looked toward the front of the vehicle, and the driver turned to the people inside and said, "There’s someone flagging us down ahead."
The driver, thankfully, was cautious; he did not open the door but instead asked through the window, "Fellow, what’s the matter with stopping the car?"
Someone hurriedly came forward, "Someone in our village broke their leg and urgently needs to get to the health facility. We’re really sorry about this."
Upon hearing this, the people inside the vehicle felt that they couldn’t just ignore it, and the local officials also spoke up, "Can we help take a look?"
Several doctors seated at the front got out of the vehicle to examine the injury, "Indeed, it’s quite serious and needs immediate attention."
But the vehicle only had medicine to stop bleeding; there were no surgical tools. In the end, they could only stop the bleeding before lifting the injured person onto the vehicle, planning to take them to the nearest commune health facility.
However, as soon as the person was aboard, Luo Qiao felt something was amiss. Besides the injured person, five men boarded, three of whom were dressed like villagers, but their demeanors and gazes were definitely not those of village folk.
Luo Qiao became alert in an instant.
Unexpectedly, she guessed right. The vehicle hadn’t been on the move for long before those three individuals sprang into action, one beside the driver, one at the rear of the vehicle, and another in the middle.
The man at the front pulled out a knife and forced the driver to head along the road he pointed to; the driver had no choice but to comply.
The two local comrades responsible for escorting the group of experts were sweating profusely. If anything happened to the experts on their watch, dying several times over wouldn’t make up for it.
