The Luckiest Dumb Doctor

Chapter 321: Chapter 321 Even the Heavenly King Can’t Inspect It_1

“I’ve lost something, don’t I have the right to check it?”

“No, you don’t.”

Greg’s face slowly became colder as he tried to be patient, “I just need to see the surveillance footage of our house entrance, I won’t look at any other areas.”

“You still can’t check it.”

“I can’t even check the surveillance of my own house entrance?”

The duty manager said impatiently, “I already told you it can’t be done. What’s with all the fuss? It’s just a pot of flowers. Stop nagging.”

Greg’s face turned the color of iron from anger as he coldly said, “Are you sure I can’t check it?”

The duty manager arrogantly said, “I told you, you can’t check it. Even if heaven’s emperor himself showed up, it wouldn’t be possible!”

“Fine, then you just wait!”

Greg didn’t bother to argue anymore and called Adrian, asking, “Where are you now?”

“I’ve already arrived, where are you?”

“Come to the surveillance room, I’m waiting for you here!”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Greg looked at the duty manager again, his eyes as cold as if he wished to devour him.

The duty manager felt a sudden twinge of fear and had a bad feeling, saying with faux toughness, “Your calling won’t change a thing. That’s the company policy, and even if you brought the head of the entire group here, it wouldn’t work.”

“Heh, is that so? Well, let’s just wait and see. If I don’t get you dismissed today, I’ll goddamn change my last name to yours.”

With the power and temperament Greg had now, he really didn’t want to argue with a minor manager, but he was genuinely furious.

If it had been something else that was lost, he might have let it go, but what was missing was the Fragrant Spirit Grass, which was his hope for advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Despite his casual talk about buying another pot or something, was Fragrant Spirit Grass something so easily found?

“If you want to wait, go wait outside. We don’t allow idle persons inside here.”

The duty manager didn’t know where he got the nerve but was actually trying to send people away, before turning to a security guard to make a veiled comment:

“Zhang, what’s the matter with you? This is the surveillance room; how can you let just anyone in?

With all this expensive equipment, if anything gets damaged, could you afford it?”

Upon hearing this, the security guard panicked, looked at Greg and stammered, “Manager, I…”

“What ‘I,’ huh? Haven’t you hurried to escort him out?”

“Ah…”

The security guard had no choice but to approach Greg, saying awkwardly, “Sir, please wait outside.”

“Heh, no need. The person I’m waiting for has already arrived!”

Greg sneered and turned to look at the entrance.

The next second, Adrian burst through the door, rushing in.

“Greg, what’s the problem?”

“My flower is missing, I wanted to check the surveillance.”

Greg calmly turned around, and looked at the duty manager, saying, “But this manager seems to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed, refuses to let me check no matter what.

I even said I’d only check the surveillance at our family’s entrance, yet he refuses, claiming it’s the company’s regulation, that only inspectors have the authority to check surveillance.”

Upon hearing this, Adrian flared up, bellowing, “Bullshit, when has our company ever had such a policy? Why don’t I know about it?”

The duty manager, seeing Adrian’s attitude toward Greg, felt a shiver of dread and his legs went weak.

He quickly said, “Mr. Wright, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize he was your friend. Otherwise, I would have never…”

“Get lost, don’t give me that crap. So if he wasn’t my friend, he wouldn’t be allowed to check? Who gave you that rule?”

Adrian pointed at the man’s nose and swore at him furiously, “What the hell are you still doing standing there? Hurry up and bring up the surveillance footage!”

“Okay, I’ll look for it right now.”

“Manager, should I take over?”

“Get lost!”

The duty manager pushed the security guard aside and took a seat in front of the surveillance monitors, beginning the search.

Adrian Wright asked, “Greg, what’s the rush with the flower?”

Greg Jensen sighed and said, “It’s that one the Lin family recently put a bounty on.”

“The one for five hundred thousand a bloom?”

Adrian Wright was stunned. “Damn, is there really such an expensive flower?”

“Yeah.”

“Greg, why don’t we just forget everything else and focus on cultivating your flower?”

Greg Jensen gave him a look and said speechlessly, “What kind of fantasy are you having? If it was that easy to cultivate, would it still be worth that much?”

“Oh, that’s true,” Adrian admitted, suddenly enlightened. Then, laughing, he asked, “Greg, what’s the flower for? It’s five hundred thousand a pop, so surely it’s not just for looking at, right?”

“It can be used in medicine.”

Greg Jensen didn’t elaborate further, but with Adrian Wright’s experience, he could already guess the implications, and his expression grew serious.

Such ingredients that could affect martial artists were extremely precious to the Martial Arts Families, not to mention a small family like the Wright Family.

He was clear in his mind; despite the Lin family listing the price as five hundred thousand to deceive the average person, the true value of those medicinal herbs might not even be obtainable for tens of millions.

At that moment, the duty manager suddenly turned around, his face alight with excitement, and said, “Young Master Wright, we found him. It was the neighbor across the street, Hugo Humphrey, who moved it.”

Greg Jensen hurried over and looked at the surveillance footage only to see the neighbor he had met in the morning peeking inside the house.

It seemed that he was making sure no one was inside before he looked around cautiously, then he climbed over into the yard and swiftly left with the pot.

Greg Jensen fully understood now; when Hugo Humphrey had come by in the morning, he must have spotted the Fragrant Spirit Grass, and he, Greg, had carelessly left it outside, providing the opportunity for theft.

“Greg, what do we do now?”

“Go directly over there to see if he’s home, and if he’s not, then we have no choice but to call the police.”

Greg Jensen, with Trey Holmes, was the first to head out.

Worried about an incident, Adrian Wright instructed the duty manager, “Get the security guards on the night shift over here immediately. If they’re not here within five minutes, go collect your paycheck from finance and get lost.”

“Yes, young master. I’m on it!”

The duty manager’s body shook as he hastily began to make phone calls.

Adrian Wright did not bother with him any longer and chased after Greg Jensen.

Several people arrived at Hugo Humphrey’s house to see lights on inside, and hope rose within Greg Jensen.

“I hope he hasn’t had the chance to sell the Fragrant Spirit Grass yet.”

Greg Jensen pushed the low gate open and stepped inside, with Trey Holmes and Adrian Wright right behind him.

Hugo Humphrey was in the living room watching TV with his wife and child. Hearing noise at the door, he looked back and saw Greg Jensen, which made him turn pale.

“Honey, I’ve got something to handle. I’ll be right back,” he said.

Hugo Humphrey’s wife glanced at Greg Jensen, seemed to sense something amiss, and whispered, “Be careful.”

“Yeah.”

Before Greg Jensen could enter the living room, Hugo Humphrey hurriedly came to meet him, his face pale and his eyes filled with pleading as he whispered,

“Brother, my wife and child are here. Can we go outside and talk, please?”

Greg Jensen glanced at the living room, nodded silently, and turned to walk to the yard.

After a while, Hugo Humphrey ran out, looking flustered, and came bowing and scraping up to Greg Jensen.

Without any expression, Greg Jensen stared at him and asked, “Where is my flower?”
