Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 79: Hospital

"This operation, thank you very much, Luo An."

After hanging up the phone and quickly arranging the escorting of the personnel at the villa scene, Agent Norton immediately walked over to Luo An, expressing his gratitude with a serious expression.

Luo An had not only informed them yesterday about the remote-controlled bombs in the hands of the Hyena Gang, but he had also saved his life during the operation just now. Norton now very much wanted to...

pull Luo An into his own investigation team.

"No need to be polite, Agent Norton."

"Just call me Norton."

"Alright, Norton."

Luo An didn't beat around the bush and immediately pointed to Sean, who was still unconscious in the distance:

"Reed has been taken to the hospital, I need to go check on him quickly, please take care of Sean for our investigation team five."

"No problem!"

Norton patted his chest and agreed, also inviting Luo An to go out for a drink together after this incident was completely over, his treat.

"OK."

Luo An smiled and agreed, then stepped on the gas pedal, and the Chevrolet swiftly rushed towards the direction the ambulance left.

—

In the hospital, the lights in the operating room were slightly glowing, apart from Augustus, agents of team five like Reesi, Mona, and William had all rushed over.

Luo An stood in the corridor, continuously rubbing his thumb and forefinger.

"Luo An."

After a moment, Yvonne, wearing a dark eyepatch over her right eye, quickly walked over, briefly hugged Reesi, Luo An, and others, then asked with a solemn expression:

"What happened, what injuries did Reed sustain?"

Luo An briefly recounted today's events, then said with a heavy expression:

"I'm sorry, Yvonne, if I hadn't separated from Reed at that time..."

"No, this is Reed's own issue, not your fault."

Hearing Luo An mention that the white substance on Reed's face was likely fentanyl, Yvonne turned pale, but upon hearing Luo An's words, Yvonne immediately took a deep breath to suppress the unease in her heart and said solemnly:

"When I initially forced Reed to quit SWAT, it was because he always disregarded his own safety during missions, choosing to take on the greatest risks himself and protect his teammates.

I admit, when I was at NYPD, if we went out on missions together, I would definitely love to have a teammate like Reed and confidently trust my back to him.

But as his wife, I absolutely can't watch him walk on the edge of danger every day..."

After they married, Yvonne forced Reed to quit the SWAT team.

However, Reed also had his own pursuits, so he eventually chose to join the FBI.

Yvonne was a bit displeased when she learned about this, but never complained much, because Yvonne knew the reasons Reed was committed to working in law enforcement, and compared to SWAT, which mainly handles assault operations, the FBI's job was relatively less dangerous.

"I know that one day, Reed would end up in the operating room because of his personality."

Saying this, Yvonne's eyes reddened, and she fiercely glared at the operating room:

"But I didn't expect that day to come so soon..."

"Reed will get better."

Reesi hugged Yvonne and quietly comforted her. Knowing that Reed most likely was not seriously injured, Luo An, who stood on the side, didn't say much. Before going back to interrogate Sean, he prepared to administer the Great Memory Recovery Skill first.

It wasn't only because Sean had ambushed Reed, but also because Luo An found out that he had actually used three potions during this operation, which was a bit of a loss.

However, Luo An wasn't sure if it was just his illusion, but he felt that each time he used a bottle of stamina and strength potion, his physical condition seemed to slowly improve.

Especially just now, after drinking the swift potion, his reaction speed wasn't as fast as during the action, but it was still a bit faster than usual.

Although 90% of the potion's effects would disappear, as long as 10% remained in his body, it would still be a profitable deal.

Drip—

Just as Luo An was pondering over this, the surgery room door suddenly opened, and everyone rushed forward instantly, with Yvonne grabbing the doctor's hand anxiously:

"Doctor, my husband..."

"Your husband is fine."

The Mediterranean doctor removed his mask from his face, emotionlessly pulled his hand away, and said:

"He was brought to the hospital in time, and he has a better physique than most people, so he is no longer in life-threatening danger now. He just needs to stay in the hospital for observation for some time, and he is unlikely to develop an addiction later on."

"Okay, okay, thank you, doctor...."

Hearing the doctor's affirmative response, Yvonne hugged Reesi next to her, crying tears of joy, then seeing Luo An standing aside, she immediately walked up to him and gave him a big hug, her face full of gratitude:

"Thank you so much, Luo An. If you hadn't quickly arranged for Lede to be sent to the hospital, I can't imagine what might have happened..."

Luo An patted Yvonne's shoulder, his lips curling slightly:

"Lede is my good brother; it's what I should do."

After Lede was pushed out of the surgery room, still unconscious, Luo An and Reesi along with other agents from Unit Five briefly visited him, then left space for Yvonne and drove back to the Jacob Federation Building.

In the Chevrolet, Mona sat in the back tapping on her keyboard again while Reesi sat in the passenger seat, chatting casually with Luo An.

"Is it because of Lede's good physique that even fentanyl couldn't harm him,"

Reesi, knowing the terrifying toxicity of fentanyl, smacked her lips, feeling both amazed and puzzled:

"Or was it just Lede's luck that he didn't inhale too much fentanyl?"

"Maybe it's both."

Luo An raised an eyebrow, not continuing the topic, but asked:

"Where's Augustus? What is he doing?"

Augustus was always good to the agents of Unit Five, so why didn't he come when Lede was injured and hospitalized? Was he detained with something?

"Augustus was called to a meeting."

Hearing Luo An's question, Reesi shrugged:

"The DEA and the Organized Crime Investigation Department have made too much noise this time, and afterward, a bunch of reporters ran to the front of the building asking for an interview with them.

This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.

But before holding the press conference, the two departments need to align their statements on some sensitive and confidential issues, so they are still in the meeting.

You and Lede also participated in this operation, so Augustus was also pulled into this meeting..."

Hearing Reesi's explanation, Luo An suddenly understood.

Before the operation began, during his casual chat with Agent Norton, Luo An learned that the DEA had been eyeing the Hyena Gang since their inception.

The fact that the Hyena Gang was able to develop so quickly afterward, and the flour buying and selling process could be laid out so fast, it absolutely couldn't be said that there was no connection with the DEA.

When he heard this news, two phrases immediately popped into Luo An's mind: fostering for strength, first nurture then destroy.

"Indeed, there's no good outcome in underworld dealings."

Saying it's aligning statements at a meeting, isn't this just a post-action... summary meeting of the spoils of war.

Thinking of Augustus's serious face, Luo An's lips slightly curled, wondering what gains he would receive this time.

Pressing down on the accelerator, the Chevrolet sped towards the direction of the Jacob Federation Building.
