Chapter 394 Someone to Rely On
“Both officers are very dedicated and unwilling to overlook any possible suspicious points. I can understand why they don’t want to believe me!” Wen Ni stood up slowly, nodded to Kuai Duo, and said, “It’s also kind of you, Director Kuai, to make this trip for me so late at night.”
"Miss Wen Ni is so understanding. No wonder Director Zhang likes you so much as his niece-in-law." Director Kuai smiled, his eye wrinkles crinkling together. "It's not hard work for me to make this trip. I just need you to help explain things to Director Zhang and Old Master Lu!"
"Yes, don't worry."
Wen Ni exchanged a brief greeting.
"Alright, it's almost dawn! You should go back with Young Master Zhuo and get some rest!" Director Kuai smiled broadly. "You're a really good girl. When will my good-for-nothing son find me a daughter-in-law as excellent as you? I'll be laughing all the way to the bank!"
"Director Kuai is joking."
Wen Ni maintained a polite smile throughout. "Then we'll be going now. Thank you all for your hard work."
"It's not hard at all!"
The police chief and his colleagues were still reeling from the shock and hurriedly waved their hands. They followed Wen Ni intently until her figure disappeared outside the office building.
"We'll head out now, everyone get back to what you're doing."
Hua Zhuo, who was leaning against the door, nodded to them, closed the office door behind him as he left, and strode off to follow Wen Ni.
They walked out of the branch office gate one after the other.
Below the steps, a silver supercar was parked.
"Get in the car!" Hua Zhuo took out the car keys.
"Wait a minute." Wen Ni stopped on the bottom step and looked calmly at Hua Zhuo. "Why are you here so late?"
"It's because... someone was worried about you." Hua Zhu shrugged and smiled, winking at her. "Of course, I'm also very concerned about my cousin who I just found, so I rushed over as soon as I got the call!"
"Thank you, cousin." Wen Ni had already guessed who this "someone" was.
To be precise, there's no need to guess at all.
"No need to thank me. I also have something to tell you." Hua Zhuo leaned against the car door, chin slightly raised. "The date for the banquet has been set for this Saturday!"
"This banquet will be very grand. Firstly, to welcome you home, and secondly, to widely publicize your and Xiao Cheng's identities! To let everyone know that you are members of the Hua family! Not just anyone can be offended!"
“There’s no need to make such a big fuss.” Wen Ni lowered her eyes. “A meal together is fine; there’s no need to invite outsiders.”
"Sigh~ Other things can be simplified, but you and Xiaocheng coming home is absolutely out of the question! Finding you is the hope of generations of the Hua family! You may not know how happy my father and I were when we finally found you!"
When this was mentioned, Hua Zhuo's beautiful eyes softened with a gentle smile.
"Furthermore, the Lu family will be attending, as will other powerful and influential families. This banquet is not for anything else, but simply to let all the wealthy and powerful know that you and Xiao Cheng are no longer alone! In the future, the entire Hua family will support you and be your backing! Let's see who dares to act recklessly!"
Hua Zhuo's words were powerful and resounding.
Wen Ni saw the determination and relief on his face, which left her feeling lost and confused!
Since her mother passed away, she seems to have never felt any care from her relatives.
There wasn't even a simple greeting.
No one cared whether she and Xiaocheng were alive or dead, nor did anyone care how these two young people, who had just begun to understand the world, were supposed to survive in this cannibalistic world! Even less did anyone care whether they had any support or any way out in case of trouble!
If you never possess something, you can't have high hopes for it.
But now...
Her thoughts drifted back, and Wenni's eyelashes trembled slightly.
"I need to discuss the banquet with Xiaocheng, after all, this is not just my business."
"no problem!"
Hua Zhuo nodded understandingly, her tone relaxed, "Father said before that if you and Xiao Cheng really don't like attending these noisy banquets, you can choose not to come. But he will still formally introduce you to everyone, even if you are not present."
"That's what my uncle said?" Wen Ni was somewhat surprised.
"certainly."
"Wen Ni, your father and I want you to understand that the Hua family will not force you to do anything you don't want to do. Our only wish in bringing you back is that you will consider the Hua family your own home, a home where you can find shelter from the wind and rain, and a happy and stable place!"
The sky began to lighten with the first light of dawn, dispelling the gloom of the night.
Wenni's world has brightened again.
"Thank you, cousin."
Faced with such unprecedented family affection and concession, Wen Ni was at a loss for words.
Only the word "thank you" remained.
It carries her complex and unspeakable emotions!
"We're all family, there's no need to be so polite."
Hearing Wen Ni call him her cousin, Hua Zhuo's smile widened, and he was overjoyed. "Let's go! I'll take you home?"
“Cousin, I can’t go home yet.” Wen Ni looked up at Hua Zhuo. “I have something to do and need to go somewhere else. You can go ahead and don’t worry about me.”
"Are you going to the Fourth Municipal Hospital?"
"You know that?" Wen Ni raised an eyebrow.
"I can only say that Lu Jinye truly understands you the most!"
As Hua Zhuo spoke, he held up his phone, and the lit screen displayed his WeChat chat history with Lu Jinye!
Half an hour ago, Lu Jinye posted a location at the Fourth Municipal Hospital, along with a handwritten message: If Wen Ni needs to go here, please take her there.
"let's go!"
Wen Ni smiled slightly but didn't reply. She opened the car door and got in.
The Fourth Municipal Hospital
This is the hospital where Caesar Perth was taken for treatment.
"What is your relationship to the patient?"
In the on-duty doctor's office, the middle-aged doctor looked up, glanced at Wen Ni, and then lowered his head to continue writing the medical record.
"I'm his friend. Is he badly injured?"
"The tip of the dagger pierced through the flesh on both sides. Do you think that's serious?" The doctor, who had worked the night shift, was very irritable and said impatiently, "You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you. Anyway, you're fine now!"
"What about his other injuries?" Wen Ni asked calmly as she continued to press for answers.
"Other injuries?" The doctor frowned and flipped through the records. "What other injuries? He only has this one knife wound on his entire upper body!"
“Is that so…” Wen Ni’s eyes darkened.
“However!” The doctor suddenly remembered something, and drew a circle on his notebook with his pen. “There is an old scar on the shoulder blade on the side where he was stabbed by the dagger. It must be an old injury. This time, the dagger just happened to stab into that spot again.”
"Can you tell what kind of instrument caused the scar?" Wen Ni leaned forward with interest.
"The dagger went in, tearing the whole thing apart! How could I possibly see that? I'm not a forensic doctor." The doctor slammed the medical record shut and started shooing people away, "Are you done asking questions? I haven't finished writing my shift log yet, and I have to hand over the shift soon!"
"I've finished asking my questions, thank you, doctor."
Wen Ni left the duty room.
The smile on his face gradually disappeared as he turned around.
She shot the old man in the right lower back with that shot in Burma, but according to the doctor, Caesar Perth had no other injuries on his upper body.
Louis and Four-Eyes were both the master's men. They were arrested, but their subordinates believed that Caesar Perth had reported them! They are still causing trouble for Caesar Perth, and even tried to kill him today!
Could it be that Caesar Perth is really not the master?
Even if he isn't.
What caused the old injury on his right scapula...?
