One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love
Chapter 2333: Highly Questionable (1)Chapter 2333: Highly Questionable (1)
He tried persuading his sister to leave and take a rest.
Even his brother-in-law felt the same way. “I’ll stay behind with your brother, instead. Our children are tired even if you aren’t. The kids will only worry about you if you remain here in your current state.”
Hearing that, Yun Shishi glanced at the twins, who were sitting at the side and, upon noticing the heartache on their faces, she nodded in acquiescence.
“I’ve booked two rooms at the hotel next to this hospital. Here are the room keycards,” said Gong Jie as he handed the cards to her.
After she took the keycards from her brother, she could not help reminding her husband out of worry, “Be sure to notify me immediately once he wakes up or should something happen to him.”
Her husband nodded. “Don’t worry; I’ll let you know if anything happens. I’ll be coming down to the police station later to find out more about the case.”
Only then did the woman feel slightly at ease. Nevertheless, she kept turning her head back as she left the hospital, full of reluctance, while the twins’ hands.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was not until the trio had vanished into the distance that the comforting smile on Gong Jie’s face slipped off and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
“It’s suspicious. Something’s really fishy about this.”
“Hm?” His brother-in-law looked at him in bafflement.
He asked, “Did you receive any news from the police side?”
The other man fell silent for a moment before answering, “According to their preliminary investigation, they suspect that it’s a case of robbery.”
“Robbery?” He scoffed. “Is there any evidence supporting this?”
“Generally, they will classify such cases as robbery if they are unable to find any leads,” explained his brother-in-law with a poker face. “You know how inefficient the police can be; what clues can they possibly find in such a short timeframe? I sent my men earlier to check the crime scene. It was reported that the police failed to preserve it in time. Plus, after last night’s downpour, any evidence that they found after that might’ve been inaccurate.”
“A bunch of good-for-nothings,” he remarked with a scoff.
“Robbery…” Mu Yazhe started. “How could it possibly be robbery? Which robber would carry concentrated sulfuric acid around just to rob someone? Unless one has a feud with the person, a person won’t go that far.”
Gong Jie agreed. “For now, we can only wait until uncle wakes up and reveals what happened to get some clues.”
“I’m afraid that it’ll be quite a feat!” interjected his brother-in-law.
He furrowed his brows in perplexity. “Why’s that so?”
“My father-in-law was splashed in the face with concentrated sulfuric acid, and according to the doctor, he ingested and breathed in the acid. We don’t know if he’ll ever be able to talk in the future.”
The doctor did mention that the acid had burned Yun Yecheng’s larynx, so the chances of him recovering his voice were extremely slim.
“How brutal the perpetrator was!”
Filled with lingering trepidation, Mu Yazhe clenched his fists tightly and slowly revealed his concern. “I’m worried that the person is actually after my wife and is just giving her a forewarning by doing this to my father-in-law!”
The other was aghast to hear this.
“Does sis have enemies?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe knitted his brows as he replied, “Yes.”
Plenty, in fact.
None seems bold enough to do such a sick and twisted thing, though.
That is, unless they’ve got a death wish.
A thought suddenly struck him, which prompted him to rise to his feet at once. He instructed his brother-in-law, “Stay here and watch over father-in-law, while I make a trip to the police station.”
“Okay.” Gong Jie glanced at his watch and asked, “Is there anyone there at this hour, though?”
“We have to get to the bottom of things without further delay. They have to be there even if there’s no one around now.”
The man left straight after saying his piece.
As he watched his brother-in-law leave, Gong Jie’s brows remained tightly knitted for a long time despite the upward curl of his lips.
He could not help worrying about his sister and nephews who were staying at the hotel, so he picked up his satellite phone and dialed a number. “Seville.”
“Yes, Young Master?”
