"Soon, he will be caught"

Just as Jia Li was about to respond, her mother came back and blocked her from the view of the policemen in a protective manner.

She introduced herself to them as a nurse in the hospital, and as Jia Li's mother.

"Mrs. Qin we are from the district. We came to get a statement from Miss. Qin, we mean no harm." One of the policemen said to her.

Only then did Mrs. Qin relax.

Jia Li recounted the incident on how she met the injured Old Man.

"The victim's identity is special. He must have come from a military family, or he is a retired military officer." The policeman said to them.

In Old Mr. Fu's Mercedes Benz, the police officers found a military chain and his cell phone which was damaged in the crash. So they won't be able to make calls to reach his family.

"Officer is there a way to contact his family, at least to inform them of his condition?." Mrs. Qin asked.

"His phone was damaged in the crash, and there is nothing to trace his family with till we fix the cell phone. The reporters could help his family reach us, through the news channels and radio stations." The policeman said.

"Officer, this belongs to the Old Man." Jia Li said as she took the leather wallet out from her bag and passed it to them.

"How did you get it?." The policeman asked as the other two shifted close to him, so they could also take a look at the content of the wallet.

"It fell out from the back pocket of the Grandfather." Jia Li reported as the office opened the wallet and took out the ID card in it.

Seeing the name on the ID, the policeman looked shocked before passing the ID to his colleagues.

Having noticed the sudden change in their facial expressions, Jia Li looked worried as she asked, "Is something wrong?."

"Nothing is wrong. But there is good news. We can get to General Fu's family this night or tomorrow morning." The head policeman reported with a brightened facial expression.

"Oh! This is good news. At least the Grandfather will not have to be pitiful." Jia Li said happily.

"Mrs. Qin, we have to leave now to report to the higher-ups. But officer Su will be here for security reasons." The head Officer said as he pointed at the younger colleague.

Mrs. Qin nodded at them before they left.

Officer Su stood at the side with his gaze on the theater room.

"Jia Li, I have to leave now. If you need anything, come to me immediately." Mrs. Qin said to her daughter before turning to look at Officer Su.

On a normal, Mrs. Qin would have sent her daughter home after, but she knew she wouldn't listen to her because she was worried about the old man, so she let her be.

After her mother left, Jia Li took her phone out to check the time. She sighed and put her phone back inside her pocket as she glanced at the tightly shut doors.

Thirty minutes later, Old Mr. Fu was wheeled out of the theater and Jia Li rushed to his side and called out to him...

"Grandfather!." She looked worried as she called out to him, but his eyes were tightly shut.

"Doctor, how is he?." Office Su asked the doctor after glancing at the old man.

"He is fine now but will be conscious for a few hours. He had a slight concussion and injuries on some parts of his bodies which requires stitches. But the Old man is quite strong for people of his age." The doctor said as they continued to wheel the old man till they got to award.

"Miss, are you his family member?." The doctor asked Jia Li.

"You can take me as one." Jia Li replied with her gaze on the old Man.

No matter how strong the doctor said he was, Jia Li didn't believe it. She has always had a soft spot for aged people because she once had one.

She felt that Old Mr. Fu was pitiful, and must have gone through serious pains during the car accident.

She wished the perpetrator would be caught and punished by the law. Now thinking of that aspect, she turned to ask the officer...

"Officer Su has the culprit been caught?."

"Not yet. But soon, he will be caught." Officer Su replied.

"Dr, Mr. Fu has a special identity, please we would need you to take care of him." Officer Su, said to the doctor.

The doctor gazed at the police after and thought for a while.

He was thinking if the patient was a witness to a crime, and as if he knew what he was thinking, Officer Su, cleared the air immediately.

"Old Mr. Fu is a retired soldier, and he was involved in a hit and run accident, so his identity is a little special."

Officer Fu did not divulge the whole truth. He didn't disclose to the doctor that Old Mr. Fu was in fact a retired General in the army and not just a soldier.

"I see. We will do our best to take care of him." The doctor replied.

"Thank you!." Officer Su said.

"It's our job!." The doctor replied.

The doctor took one last look at Old Fu before leaving the ward.

There were other patients in the ward that were recovering.

"Miss, you are sure you don't want to go home, I will stay here to watch over him if you are worried." Officer Su said to Jia Li now they were left alone.

Jia Li glanced at the Old Man before taking a sit.

"Don't worry officer, I will look after this Grandfather till his owners come for him." Jia Li promised.

Officer Su sighed before saying to her, "If there is anything, I'm right outside this door."

And with that, he disappeared.

Jia Li went close to Old Mr. Fu's bed. Although the man was sleeping peacefully, she still pitied him because he had gone through a lot.

"Grandfather don't worry, your family will find you soon."
