Chapter 26: Investigation
The next day, at Sali restaurant.
The commotion that happened yesterday night had caused quite a ruckus. Unfortunately, the a.s.sailant had already left when the hotel security rushed to the scene.
Rumors had it that the incident was not a minor one, even an ambulance came. Moreover, a person was carried down from the top floor, his injuries were quite grievous.
Ever since the opening of Sali restaurant, never had such a nasty incident happened before.
It was not because of their tight security but due to the fact that the majority of the diners were influential people. Every one of them enjoyed a high social status, hence, how could they start a fight over a small matter?
Hence, after the happening of the incident, the restaurant manager did not have a good night sleep.
In the morning, he received a phone call, asking him to cooperate with the investigation.
When he reached the restaurant, none of the staff were there yet since it was only 9 am. Only a few apprentice chefs were busying themselves by moving the fresh vegetables into the kitchen.
In the s.p.a.cious restaurant, 2 men were dressed in a black suit as they quietly stood there.
If both of the suited men all had sungla.s.ses on, they would give off a sci-fi [Men In Black] vibe.
The both of them presented their identification pa.s.s.
Before the manager could even identify the unit and name, both of them had already kept it back. Next, they proceeded to ask about the incident that had transpired.
The restaurant manager felt slightly curious. He clearly wrote down his statement last night so why was there people still asking about it.
However, looking at the 2 overbearing men in suit, he knew that it was better if he did not offend them. Therefore, he honestly told them what he knew all over again.
Actually, he was not at the balcony at that point in time. All he knew was what he heard from the attendants.
It was said that 2 men were quarreling and the one that a.s.saulted the other broke the wine-display long table in one slap.
The two of them argued for a while more before the a.s.sailant made his move.
According to the attendants" description, before they could even catch a glimpse of the a.s.sailant"s move, the victim was already beaten to the point of flying and finally crashed into the fence.
One slap to break a long table? One kick to make a person fly 2 to 3 meters? Moreover, the injuries were so severe that an ambulance was needed?
Initially, the restaurant manager was suspicious about it. However, the 2 attendants that were present at the scene both said so. Thus, he could only tell the police this.
As for whether the police would, believe it or not, he could no longer care about it.
After listening to the restaurant manager"s account, the 2 suited men requested the manager to bring them to the balcony.
At the balcony, the broken long table was still there and hence, they directly walked towards it.
One of them squatted at the crack where the table had split. After observing carefully, he took out his phone and took a few pictures.
As for the other person, he roughly found the place where the incident took place under the restaurant manager"s description.
They observed the scene for a while and after recording down a video, they decided to leave.
Meanwhile, the restaurant manager worriedly asked, "Officer, that person yesterday…is he okay?"
After all, Sali restaurant was one of the few restaurants in Zhong Hai city with one Michelin Star. They could not risk ruining their reputation due to a sudden awful incident.
"Not dead yet."
One of the men in black coldly leave behind these words and left, leaving the dazed restaurant manager all alone on the balcony.
"Not dead yet?"
The restaurant manager blankly stared at the 2 departing figures. After thinking for a while, he was suddenly enlightened as dreadfully muttered to himself, "Means he has not stopped breathing?"
… … …
Chen Xi did not go out today and instead, he accompanied the little kiddo to read books the whole morning.
During that time, Lin Xuan and Ning Qiu Tong called him.
Lin Xuan had confirmed Zhao Yuan"s condition.
It was said that Zhao Yuan"s injury was extremely grievous, one of his feet was already at death"s door.
Fortunately, due to his family"s wide connections, they managed to invite a resident physician to operate on Zhao Yuan overnight, eventually, saving him from stepping into the afterlife.
Although his life was spared, he was still in a coma and it was uncertain when he would recover.
Lin Xuan was extremely worried that Chen Xi would be arrested by the police. Hence, she relentlessly advised Chen Xi to leave Zhong Hai and to lie low.
After all, Zhao Yuan is still alive. Intentional a.s.sault and intentional murder are of 2 different nature.
As long as Chen Xi was not caught, she might have an idea to negotiate privately with Zhao Yuan once he recovers.
He could tell that Lin Xuan was extremely distraught because of this incident. Hence, to make her have a peace of mind, Chen Xi pretended to accept her suggestion by saying that he would leave with Nian Nian in a while.
Lin Xuan relaxed upon hearing that and once again reminded Chen Xi to call her if he met any obstacles.
After he placed down his phone, Chen Xi felt a bit regretful.
He was not regretful of the strength of that kick, he was, however, regretting that his actions last night were a bit reckless.
Due to staying in the Tian Xuan world for too long, killing had become akin to instinct.
Hence, when Zhao Yuan provoked him again, and even mentioned Qin Ruo Ying these 3 words, he immediately lost control and even leaked a killing intention.
Thinking back, if he could keep his cool and leave the balcony first, he could take down Zhao Yuan when there was no one around. Naturally, there wouldn"t be any repercussions after that.
Like a primordial person suddenly appearing in present society.
He had to always restraint himself. This feeling made him quite uncomfortable.
Chen Xi was a bit surprised that Zhao Yuan was still alive.
That kick of his is not any weaker than an impact from a car.
Should I finish him off?
While teaching the little kiddo how to read, Chen Xi seriously considered this question.
Not long after ending the call with Lin Xuan, a call from Ning Qiu Tong came.
Although Ning Zhong Guo had taken the pill and his condition ameliorated, as long as his illness was not cured, Ning Qiu Tong could not relax. Hence, she sincerely plead Chen Xi to begin his treatment as soon as possible.
Chen Xi thought for a while. The police might come anytime and although they can"t catch him, it might give Aunty Zhang quite a scare.
In order to not worry her, Chen Xi considered before asking, "I injured a person yesterday. Serious injury. He is still within the danger period. Can it be settled?"
Ning Xiu Tong was stunned for a while before replying immediately, "Can you tell me the exact details of the situation?"
