"Ah!"
A scream of unbearable agony erupted from the villa!
The entire staff of the He family was alerted. When Steward Zhong rushed over with his people, he saw He Chuan lying on the bed in the bedroom, his face contorted in pain.
A fruit knife was clutched in He Chuan's hand, stained with blood. Below him, a bloody mess was a shocking sight. Even the pure white silk comforter was completely dyed red. Perhaps due to the excruciating pain, He Chuan quickly lost consciousness.
Upon seeing this scene, Steward Zhong's face changed drastically. He hurriedly said, "Quickly... call an ambulance, and then call the police immediately!"
With the elder master due back tomorrow, He Chuan's young master meeting with such an accident at this time made Steward Zhong feel he could not escape his responsibility.
...
The next morning, Xu Weiwei woke up and specifically checked her phone. She reviewed the surveillance footage from the previous night and discovered that the guy indeed hadn't left the house nor brought any other woman back.
She wasn't in a hurry either. Since she had installed surveillance, she could see any strange behavior from him clearly.
After getting up and tidying herself, she quickly dressed and prepared to go to work.
As soon as she opened her door, the door to the adjacent room also opened. Ye Cangtian appeared, smiling and saying, "Officer Xu, going to work?"
Xu Weiwei let out a snort from her nose, "Mm!"
They walked out of the apartment building one after another. Just as Xu Weiwei got into her car, the passenger door opened, and the guy shamelessly sat in.
"What are you doing? Get out!" Xu Weiwei frowned.
"Giving me a ride. I know where your precinct is, it's on the way!" Ye Cangtian said with a sheepish grin.
"Ride what ride? Take a taxi yourself, get out!" Xu Weiwei said unhappily. This guy wasn't only thick-skinned, but also incredibly bold, daring to hitch a ride with a police officer.
"We're neighbors, and I even helped you install the surveillance last night. Don't be so stingy!" Ye Cangtian said with a smile, buckling his seatbelt.
"You!"
Xu Weiwei was helpless, she could only grit her teeth and say, "This is the last time!"
Half an hour later!
Xu Weiwei parked the car at Hytian Building. After Ye Cangtian got out, she drove directly towards the police station.
However, her phone rang at this moment.
"Hello, Director, I'm on my way to the bureau! What? The young master of the He Group was attacked at home? I'll go take a look right away!"
Xu Weiwei hung up the phone, her brows furrowed. There was an assassination attempt at the Tang family yesterday, and now something like this had happened again today?
She immediately turned the car around and headed towards the He family's residence.
...
The He family, as the top family in Yangzhou for decades, possessed incredibly deep foundations and occupied a considerable area.
When Xu Weiwei arrived, many of her colleagues were already busy at the scene.
"Boss, the He family reported the case around 2 AM last night. When we arrived, Mr. He Chuan had already been sent to the hospital. We've also investigated the nearby surveillance, but found nothing." A police officer reported.
"When I first arrived, I saw many surveillance cameras in the He family's manor. Have they all been checked?" Xu Weiwei asked while examining the villa.
"They've all been checked, even the surveillance equipment on the streets around the He family. Indeed, nothing was found!"
"What's the situation at the hospital?" Xu Weiwei asked.
"The hospital said that He Chuan's vital part could not be saved, but he was fortunately rescued. He's still in a coma for now."
After the police officer finished speaking, he quietly lowered his voice, "Boss, we've checked everything that needs to be checked. Besides a fruit knife at the scene, there was nothing else found. So, we preliminarily suspect that perhaps He Chuan himself couldn't cope and..."
There were no eyewitnesses, and no surveillance cameras captured anyone committing the crime. Furthermore, there were no fingerprints of anyone else on the murder weapon.
Xu Weiwei thought for a moment and then said, "Everything will be decided after He Chuan wakes up! You continue your investigation, and also take all the places with fingerprints in the entire villa for testing."
"Captain, the hospital just called, saying He Chuan is awake!" Another police officer rushed over.
"Let's go to the hospital!" Xu Weiwei's eyes lit up.
Whether it was the victim's self-harm or a real killer who sneaked in to commit the crime in the dead of night, only the victim could clarify it by going to the hospital to ask.
...
Yangzhou First Hospital, VIP Ward!
He Chuan was awake!
But whether it was due to shock or some other reason, after waking up, his eyes were vacant, and he was mumbling to himself.
"Ye Cangtian... Ye Cangtian... Ye Cangtian..."
It was as if he had a feverish delusion!
Beside the hospital bed, besides Steward Zhong, there was also a middle-aged man.
He was He Changsheng, the head of the He family, who had just rushed back from the capital!
The moment he saw his son's condition, He Changsheng's eyes turned red. He gritted his teeth and angrily asked, "What exactly happened? Steward Zhong, tell me clearly!"
Steward Zhong's face was pale. He quickly recounted the entire story. As for what happened to He Chuan last night, by the time he arrived, it was already like this. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Sir, after the young master woke up, he kept calling that Ye Cangtian's name. It's likely he came for revenge last night! Although the young master's life was saved, he will never be able to have children again!"
"Boom!"
He Changsheng stumbled, almost failing to stand. He was so angry his lips trembled, and he almost fainted.
He only had this one son and planned to have all the He family's future assets inherited by him. Therefore, he had always doted on this son. He never expected such a major incident to occur during his absence.
He had heard from Steward Zhong about the conflict between his son He Chuan and Ye Cangtian. Thus, he planned to send his son to the capital to hide today. But unexpectedly, something happened before he could return!
"Sir, I had people report to the police when the incident happened last night. That Ye Cangtian definitely won't get away!" Steward Zhong said in a low voice.
He Changsheng remained silent with a somber expression, only looking at his delirious son with great anger in his heart.
At this moment, the police also arrived.
Steward Zhong quickly inquired, "Officer, have they caught the culprit?"
Xu Weiwei calmly replied, "I need to question the person involved."
At this point, He Changsheng said coldly, "Officer, what's the use of questioning my son when you don't arrest that Ye Cangtian and bring him to justice promptly? My son's current tragic state is all thanks to him."
"Ye Cangtian?" Xu Weiwei was taken aback.
This matter was related to that guy? What had that guy done now?
However, she soon saw He Chuan lying on the bed, constantly muttering. Especially when she heard the name Ye Cangtian being uttered by the other party, her expression became even more peculiar.
"Summon Ye Cangtian immediately!" Xu Weiwei ordered her subordinates, and then said to He Changsheng and the other man, "We, the police, still need to investigate this case further. You two can go to our police station first."
