“So, what do you think?” Waylon asked Chase.

When he stepped outside his profession, Chase’s opinions tended to be much more objective. Waylon, bound by professional instinct, couldn’t afford to let go of any suspect–hich often led to messy conclusions.

Chase began to talk about what he and Wendy had guessed last night.

“I thought it was Larry too. Wendy and I both did. After all, he’s the only one currently doing business in pharmaceuticals. But after listening to Madeline’s account, I don’t think it’s him anymore. Honestly, Larry’s not that smart. There’s no way he could’ve pulled off something this complex.”

Waylon exhaled a mouthful of smoke and nodded.

“Yeah, I agree. If it’s not Larry, then it has to be Henry. Aimee once exposed one of Moses Group’s scams overseas. Her hard drive might contain secrets about Moses Group.”

It had been over 24 hours. The police were now stationed at Aimee’s home, fully on guard, waiting for the next message from the kidnappers.

All the intel from Madeline pointed to one thing–Cloud Hospital’s web had grown massive.

Luckily, Chase hadn’t spooked anyone.

“So you’re saying there are a lot of people like Madeline and Sean. Trying to take them down one by one could take forever.”

By noon, Waylon had already gone to Aimee’s house. Bernard and Blanc were eating lunch in Chase’s office. Melody had ordered food for the three of them.

“I saw the new shift schedule. Starting next week, I’ve got three straight night shifts with Sean. I don’t actually know much about him,” Blanc said while picking out all the onions from his meal.

Bernard sat beside him, watching Blanc’s fussy little moves. He was several years older than Blanc, and at this point, he viewed him more like a younger brother. Seeing Blanc pick out the onions he didn’t like, Bernard couldn’t help but sigh.

“Dr. Blanc, how did you even survive med school? What kind of doctor is picky with food?”

“Class is class. Eating stuff I don’t like goes against my nature. Anyway, I’ve got surgery this afternoon,” Blanc replied.

The group quickly finished eating. Blanc rushed off. Seeing Chase still deep in thought, Bernard pulled out a cigarette and handed it to him.

Chase hesitated for a few seconds, but still took it.

He actually did smoke, just rarely–mostly because of professional discipline. Plus, he always stopped Wendy from smoking, so he felt he had to set the example at home. He barely smoked at all.

But today was definitely been mentally exhausting.
