"Let's talk after we find the locator."
Mong Si's tone was calm.
He had just checked with his hand, and the locator was not on his body, but who knew if his sense of touch was accurate? If he had to cut open the wound again after treating it, he would have to endure more pain.
"Do as you say."
Mong Si was used to giving orders on the island and generally did not heed others' opinions.
He was not Zhu Junjie; although Song Lan felt sympathy for him, she did not care too much.
Soon, the person introduced by Luan Shan arrived at the hospital.
He had some knowledge about locators and knew that some people placed them inside a person's body, but he had only heard about it and had never seen it in person.
When he used professional equipment to locate the position of the locator, he reached out and touched Mong Si's right calf.
"It's here."
The locator emitted a signal when the device was placed on Mong Si's right calf, triggering an alarm sound.
Mong Si looked at his swollen leg with a cold expression on his face.
The island owner's daughter was spoiled and willful, but she had little contact with the outside world; she had never left the island. This was why that person brought rare items to win her favor.
She would not know about the existence of a locator; it was placed in him by that person to please her and help her find it.
This was also why that person could easily locate him!
Mong Si held a grudge; that person's actions ignited a fire of anger within him.
That person liked the Island Master's Daughter and could strive to win her affection. When she was in trouble, he took her away from the island. That person lacked the ability to protect the woman he liked and played tricks on him here; he would not let that person off easily!
"Go call the doctor."
Mong Si's tone was decisive; although he did not name anyone specifically, Song Lan knew he was instructing her.
Because aside from her and Mong Si, there was only one other professional still searching for any additional locators with their equipment in the ward.
Song Lan did not argue with Mong Si; she stepped outside the ward and said to the doctor waiting at the door, "Could you please come in?"
"Miss Song, you're too polite."
Next, Mong Si would definitely ask the doctor to reopen his previous wound to retrieve the locator from inside.
The doctor was there to save lives by stitching wounds; if asked to cut through skin that appeared uninjured on the surface, his first reaction would be to refuse.
Moreover, Mong Si was someone who preferred giving orders and disliked explanations. Song Lan feared that if the doctor refused Mong Si later, it would upset him.
Song Lan said to the doctor, "Just do whatever he asks you to do later."
"Yes, Miss Song."
With Song Lan's reminder, the doctor had doubts about Mong Si's request but did not refuse.
"There's a locator device under his skin, so be careful."
As the doctor prepared to cut into Mong Si's right calf according to his request, Song Lan reminded him.
The doctor had heard of locator devices but had never seen one; he probed with his hand.
Mong Si's leg was swollen and felt different from usual; the doctor couldn't detect the locator device by touch alone.
He felt a bit anxious.
The doctor administered a local anesthetic to Mong Si's right calf. Mong Si was awake now and said, "Cut along the scar."
The locator device had been placed inside him after his injury to avoid drawing his attention, positioned in the original injury site.
Just then, the professional instrument confirmed his suspicion by lingering on the scar on his calf.
Mong Si spoke calmly, as if it were not him who was about to undergo surgery.
Song Lan couldn't help but glance at him again.
Before the doctor began, the room fell silent, and soon he made an incision along the scar on Mong Si's leg.
There was no room for error; the object inside his leg could not be absorbed by the body, and the locator device remained there.
Having been inside for so long, it had fused with the flesh, requiring careful separation.
Mong Si did not follow the doctor's instructions to lie down with his eyes closed.
He sat up and watched as the doctor extracted the object while remaining conscious.
As the doctor worked, Mong Si reminded him, "Be gentle; don't damage the locator device."
Typically, patients would want doctors to handle their wounds carefully to avoid scarring, but at this moment, Mong Si was worried about the locator device instead, leaving the doctor at a loss for words regarding his feelings.
He could only focus more intently on ensuring that Mong Si's wound was treated neatly while also keeping the locator device intact and functional.
The smell of blood filled the room, prompting Song Lan to turn her face away.
The doctor's movements were relatively swift; after five or six minutes, he finished stitching up Mong Si's wound.
Mong Si played with the locator device that had been removed from his leg and asked Song Lan to call in the professionals waiting at the door.
Mong Si seemed to have developed a habit of directing her around.
Considering Mong Si and Saved Tong Tong, Song Lan obliged and ran errands for him.
By the time that person entered, the doctor had already cleaned up and left with the nurse.
Mong Si handed over the blood-stained locator to the other person. "Can you see if it still works?"
The person took it and examined its exterior. "It should be fine." The device appeared intact, with no visible damage.
The person turned on the device and brought it close to the locator, which emitted an alarm once again. "What do you think could have gone with it, something that wouldn't be easily noticed and could lead the other person in circles?"
"Probably a pet. Pets usually have some bells or similar items on them, so if you attach it to a pet, it would be hard for others to detect."
"This is your area of expertise; you handle it. Remember to keep it fixed in one place for the next few days and don’t let it wander around. After about five days, you can let it lead someone who can receive its signal in circles. Ideally, make them run until they’re exhausted."
He was injured now and couldn't move around too much; otherwise, that person would become suspicious.
"Understood."
Luan Shan's introduction was reliable. After Mong Si finished his instructions, Song Lan escorted him out.
As Song Lan was leaving, Mong Si called out to her, "Find a few capable people to follow him."
If that person's plan failed, they might send someone else to Hai City.
Now that the locator was with Song Lan's contacts, that person would become the target.
Song Lan understood Mong Si's intention. "I know what to do."
She couldn't let Luan Shan's friends be put in danger.
A-Hu was worried about potential issues at the hospital, so he arranged for additional personnel to come over.
Song Lan had complete trust in A-Hu's people and arranged for them to escort Luan Shan's friends.
Before sending them off, Song Lan transferred the payment for their efforts.
As she left Mong Si's room, she felt as if she could still smell blood.
Having endured a difficult childhood, she always thought her life was tough enough. But seeing Mong Si remain unfazed while a doctor cut open his old scar left her feelings complicated.
Song Lan turned to head back to her room but noticed the door next door slightly ajar.
She remembered closing it tightly when she left.
Had someone entered the hospital room?
