Cong Bo stayed hidden and watched as the four men in the blue car entered the bank itching to do something to help, but he had been told to stay safe and he couldn't disobey, but it occurred to him that just because he couldn't help, didn't mean that he couldn't call someone else and tell them.
Lin Jing's office was a confusion of activity, the staff had no idea where all these people had come from, so many, so quickly and Lin Jing was trying to split them up, making it easier to try and find out as much information as possible. His main detectives took five each to the holding cells to make space in the main office and question them in a much calmer environment, while Jing took the bank manager to his desk to interrogate.
The meek man was highly agitated and Lin Jing could understand why, he probably had been in contact with Black Robe and was still suffering the after effects of fear.
The poor man stammered and tried his best to answer.
"The, the bank is down t. town. It belongs to M My Lord Shen Wei, he's still there, there are menfollowing him, we need to get him, he needs help, we left him behind... how did we get here?"
"So,... he came into the bank and told you that there were men following him and you came here and he's still there." Lin Jing repeated.
"Yes, how could we leave him, how did he not come, how did we get here, how can he be alright, he's alone, the bank is empty. He needs help." and at last the manager started to calm down alittle until the noise of the phone almost made him fall off the seat from fright.
"Yes Bo, I've got 40 witnesses telling me the same thing, he sent them here for their safety, how many men did you see? ... And you spotted them when he left here, could they have followed from an earlier point? ... No, OK, how is Yunlan do you know, he had a fall this morning? ... Alright, I'll try and deal with all these people and could you inform Gelan and the guards, if they want any support, just ask. And do as you're told, stay safe old man."
Gelan had been half angry and half in shock when she found Yunlan lying on the floor and unable to move, all because he bent down to pick up a pen. She had no hesitation in confining him to bed for the rest of the day, he obviously didn't realise how badly he had been injured, and his back needed more care if he was to recover completely. So she was drinking camomile tea more often than usual while trying to calm down. She pressed the button to allow her the view of her ward through the concealed cameras. There was less chance of a security incident now that Shen Wei wasn't here but it was probably the best way to watch Yunlan and stop him from injuring himself through reckless behaviour.
His bed was empty, where was that man she thought, how could he even get out of bed, no hecouldn't and she felt a slight chill run through her bones. She searched the other screens, but he was nowhere to be seen and she flew out of her office heading straight for Yunlan's room looking for the young guard who was supposed to be there permanently, but froze as she saw his dead hand half way towards the silent alarm.
