Chapter 304
When Savanna received a call from Leo, she was in great anxiety. Leo said that he would accompany her to the northwest to find Brandon, and Savanna sent her location to Leo without saying anything.
Rex and Seth finally arrived at the place where Brandon and the others had an accident. There were several broken by the gurgling stream, and traces of fighting could be seen.
Clearly, Brandon and the others had been attacked there.
Seth and Rex led a group of people to search the surroundings for several hours, but they still could not find Brandon and Jim.
As time passed, Seth became more anxious. “Dr. Barton, do you think who wants to kill Mr. Young?”
Rex replied, “Many people want to take his life. When he first took over the Cassel Group, he had many enemies because of his tough methods. Besides, they might also be Mrs. Young‘s rivals. Brandon and Mrs. Young have similar temperaments. To expand the Cassel Group, they can‘t avoid offending other people. This is a rare opportunity, and how can their enemies miss it?”
Seth thought it was true. In the past few years, he had seen many people who wanted to kill Lorena. Moreover, the arson case of the Young family still remained unsolved.
Rex patted Seth on the shoulder and urged, “Let‘s stop guessing. Now, we have to find Brandon first. I‘m worried…”
Rex was afraid of missing something.
Seth nodded.
“Blood.”
Seth saw blood stains on the leaves of a bush and hurried over.
Following the blood–stained leaves, Seth led the way, and Rex and the others followed behind.
On the mountainside, a broken church was right in front of them.
And their arrival disturbed the crow on a big tree in front of the church.
The crow fled away in panic.
Hearing the sound of footsteps. Jim, who was out to fetch water, quickly hid behind a tree.
He looked out and reached for the gun in his arms. Then he suddenly paused.
Jim exclaimed, “Seth, Dr. Barton.”
Seth and Rex saw Jim and immediately relaxed. When Rex saw that Jim was limping, he hurriedly asked, “Where is Brandon?”
“He‘s inside.” Jim pointed at the ruined church.
Rex rushed into the church. Under the several polished statues, there was a pile of straw, and
several people were lying on it.
The one in the middle was Brandon.
Rex immediately rushed over, grabbed Brandon‘s hand, and felt his pulse.
After taking the pulse, Rex untied Brandon‘s coat. Along wound stretched from Brandon‘s left shoulder to his right abdomen. The wound was sprinkled with herbs, which were stuck with dark blood stains. The wound was slightly swollen.
The herbs could not stop the poison from spreading. If Rex arrived a bit late, he was afraid that Brandon would have died.
Rex began to observe Brandon. Brandon‘s eyes were tightly closed, and his brows deeply furrowed, his lips pale. From that, Rex judged that Brandon should be unconscious and might not know that they had come.
Rex opened the medicine box and took out the scalpel that had been sterilized. He asked Seth and
Jim to go out and then immediately cut the wound on Brandon‘s chest with the scalpel to detoxify.
Half an hour passed. It was not until the blood on Brandon’s wound turned red that Rex heaved a sigh of relief and bandaged Brandon‘s wound.
After Rex finished dealing with Brandon‘s injuries, he began to treat the other three men, who were also seriously injured.
