At this time, after resting for a long time with my eyes closed, I finally spoke: "Do you have someone keeping an eye on Alex Smith? Ask him about the situation."
The police officer looked at me with vigilant eyes, as if he could see through my soul. "Do you know something?"
I shook my head weakly and pushed the water further away.
After a long stalemate, the police called the person in charge of guarding Alex Smith in the hospital.
"Well, nothing unusual, just made a few phone calls to the company. It seems that he was dealing with work and wanted to sell the company. I guess he felt that he had become a useless person and could not manage it."
"He seems to have contacted a few teams to tear down the whole building. They are just demolishing it." The police were talking on an external speaker. I opened my eyes when I heard what they said. Company? Tearing down a building?
"Quick, take me to Alex Smith's company!"
Along the way, I was more anxious than ever. The injured eye was bleeding due to high intraocular pressure. The police offered to take me to the hospital to treat the wound several times, but I refused. I would not live for more than a few days anyway, so this minor injury was not a big deal.
Alex Smith's company is very close to my old house, in the suburbs. When I arrived, the construction team had already cordoned off the area. I ignored the police's advice and rushed to the front, blocking the huge equipment with my body.
" This cannot be demolished! I don't agree!"
The construction worker was startled and hurriedly stopped what he was doing. The police keenly noticed my change in attitude and immediately asked: "Is there something in this company?"
I pursed my lips and shook my head. "I'm not sure."
"This company was opened by Alex Smith after my parents passed away using the money paid out by the insurance company."
"By the way, it should be half mine, right? Now that I am an adult, I do not agree to demolish this building."
"Please help me dig underground."
I have a feeling that I am getting closer to the truth.
After hearing what I said, the police did not dare to neglect it and immediately ordered the workers to start working. The captain walked up to me with a serious expression and followed my gaze to the deep pits on the ground.
" Can you tell me now? What happened?"
I opened my cracked lips and was about to speak when the intercom on the police officer's chest rang.
"What? Alex Smith is in the operating room again? What's going on?"
"Can't you stop him if he wants to run? You guys are just idlers, right? Can't you stop a disabled person?"
After hanging up the phone, the police officer in front of him was furious. "Alex Smith is in trouble. We have to go over and take a look. We have been digging for a long time but have not found anything. Let's give up."
Tears welled up in my eyes and I shook my head stubbornly. "No, they are here. I have a feeling."
The foundation of the building in front of him had been completely hollowed out, and the tall and swaying building now looked shaky.
When the police saw that they couldn't persuade me, they immediately wanted to order someone to forcibly take me away.
There was a hint of urgency on their faces.
"It was you who asked to see Alex Smith. Now his life is hanging by a thread, and the hospital's blood bank is running low. If you don't go over for a blood transfusion, he might really die!"
"You won't be able to talk to him anymore!"
