261: Chapter 256: Definitely Planned in Advance 261: Chapter 256: Definitely Planned in Advance “How dare someone injure our Shang-Ping police flower!
Damn it, I don’t care who did it, I’m going to cripple them!”
Just as two recently graduated police officers were mourning, the elevator doors suddenly opened, and out walked a young man in jeans, his face full of a wicked charm.
Without the need to ask, it was this guy who had spoken the curse above.
The two officers frowned.
At a time of sorrow, a thug-like figure had appeared, spouting filth; clearly, he was looking for trouble.
“Who are you?” a young officer asked with a furrowed brow.
Ye Tian’s whole heart was with Wang Ke’er, and since he didn’t recognize these two officers, he really didn’t have the time to deal with them.
He strode toward the ICU, and seeing his aggressive demeanor, his face full of wickedness and menace, the officers knew he wasn’t someone amiable.
They immediately blocked his path and demanded again, “What do you want, show us your ID!”
As newly minted officers, neither displayed the cunning or experience of seasoned detectives.
They truly had no idea that the person before them was not someone to mess with, so they habitually asked to check his ID.
Ye Tian frowned and said, “ID?
Even if I gave it to you, would you dare to check it?” With that, he pointed a finger lightly at each policeman, paralyzing them instantly.
Their necks spasmed, becoming sore and numb, an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
“Don’t go, stop right there,” the officers tried to detain Ye Tian, but with their necks severely spasming, the pain was unbearable, as if they had been struck by a stun gun, causing their bodies to twitch uncontrollably.
They had no strength left to stop Ye Tian.
Ye Tian had no time to entertain these two young officers and went straight into the ICU.
If not for the fact that they were colleagues of the Shang-Ping police flower, Ye Tian’s actions would have been much harsher, not merely causing them cramps.
He didn’t bother with any protective gear; passing by the entrance, he casually grabbed a pair of shoe covers, slipped them on his feet, and hurried into the intensive care unit.
At that moment, the chief doctor was using Wang Ke’er as a case study, teaching the young doctors by her side.
Everyone’s attention was focused on the medical conditions and the patient, so no one noticed the commotion at the door until Ye Tian walked in brazenly, catching the attention of many in white coats.
“Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Don’t you know this is the ICU?
Get out!” The chief doctor said grimly, sternly warning, “If anything happens, you’ll be responsible!”
Seeing that he was wearing thick glasses and his hair was graying, very much the old scholar look, Ye Tian worriedly asked after glancing at his name badge, which read Director Fang, “Director Fang, is that right?
I’m her boyfriend, Ye Tian.
How is our Ke’er doing?
Can you tell me about it?”
Director Fang pushed his presbyopia glasses and said, “Oh, you’re a family member of the patient.”
Seeing that Ye Tian had a wicked smile and didn’t seem like a proper young man, bearing more resemblance to a small-time thug from the streets, he wondered how Officer Wang ended up with such a boyfriend—quite perplexing indeed.
Outside the intensive care unit, the two cramping officers had overheard Ye Tian’s words, realizing then that this wicked-looking young man was the one their mentor had been calling out in his coma.
It seemed they had wrongly accused a good man, and they felt quite ashamed.
Just then, Director Fang explained, “Officer Wang’s injury is in her brain, a severe concussion that has led to intracranial bleeding.
She is now fully in a coma and it is unlikely she will wake up.
Prepare yourself; she might end up in a vegetative state.”
“A vegetative state!” Ye Tian, who was well-versed in medicine, was startled.
It seemed the situation was more serious than he had anticipated.
If it truly was as the old doctor said, Wang Ke’er might never awaken again, and would simply continue to be comatose until her life ended.
This was not the outcome Ye Tian wanted.
Vengeance!
He must have vengeance!
“Damn it, to make the Shang-Ping police flower end up like this, no matter who he is, I must repay this blood with blood!” Ye Tian flew into a rage on the spot, his eyes instantly filling with blood, turning a fearful shade of red!
Normally, Ye Tian was carefree, treating everything lightly and never bothering to explain himself, even if looked down upon.
However, that did not mean he didn’t have a temper.
Being unrestrained was indeed his character, but he also had his limits.
Anyone who dared hurt his woman would have to be ready to face the wrath of the king of the night.
Hearing that Wang Ke’er would be a vegetative, Ye Tian felt both sorrow and anger.
Without wasting time on words—as they were useless now—all he could do for Wang Ke’er was seek revenge.
Ye Tian walked right out of the ICU and approached the two young officers again, coldly demanding, “Who was it, who caused Wang Ke’er to end up like this?”
His tone was very chilling, even threatening.
The imposing aura of the king of the night was unmistakably present in that moment, a kind of authority from the superior to the subordinate, as undeniable and commanding as that between a high-ranking leader and an ordinary employee.
“It was a car thief, and he’s already wanted online,” the two young officers answered truthfully.
“A car thief?” Ye Tian immediately frowned, “Can a car thief injure Ke’er so badly?”
Despite Wang Ke’er being a delicate woman, she was definitely not a mere decorative police officer.
Being young yet able to serve as the head of the criminal police team and earning the reputation as the “Flower of Vigilance” in the entire police force, sufficiently illustrated her prowess in martial arts.
In hand-to-hand combat, Wang Ke’er was a true expert.
Even though she might not be on par with top fighters, ordinary thieves dreaming of injuring her was simply ludicrous.
“What kind of car thief could turn a peaceful policewoman into a vegetative state?” Ye Tian wondered, “A person with such fighting skills, why would they settle for being a mere car thief?
They could easily join some underground force or become a family bodyguard, earning at least a six-figure salary.”
In a flash, Ye Tian sensed something was amiss.
“There must be something fishy about Wang Ke’er’s injury!” He was certain of it.
The two junior officers said, “Mr.
Ye, we won’t hide it from you — our mentor has made quite a few enemies over the years in the police force, some of whom have recently been released from prison.
We suspect they took revenge.
Released prisoners are our prime suspects and our main focus in the investigation, and we’re not hiding that from you either.”
Ye Tian nodded.
The other party’s words made sense.
Those vile criminals, sent to prison by Wang Ke’er and spending their days in darkness, would hardly accept their fate upon release without seeking revenge.
But then, the scope of the search became too large.
Wang Ke’er had been a police officer for a long time and had arrested many criminals.
Who knows exactly who it was.
Moreover, whether it was a criminal seeking revenge is still debatable.
It’s just one of many possibilities and doesn’t rule out other scenarios.
“Do you have any leads?” Ye Tian asked.
At this point, hoping to avenge Wang Ke’er, one could only rely on the police.
After all, they were a vast national organization.
Even if they couldn’t pinpoint the real culprit, there should be some clues.
As long as there were clues, Ye Tian could trace them back to root out the despicable bastard and personally crush him!
“Big brother Ye, listen to me, the chief is personally overseeing this case.
It’s best you don’t get involved.
I know you and the mentor are close, but we live under the rule of law; it’s risky to meddle…”
“Stop the nonsense, I’m just asking if you have any leads!” Ye Tian, enraged, grabbed one of the junior officers by the collar and lifted him off the ground.
The young officer was terrified.
Weighing over 150 kilograms, he was effortlessly lifted by Ye Tian, a testament to his terrifying strength that sent shivers down anyone’s spine.
Facing the imposing Ye Tian, the junior officers had no choice.
They too wanted to capture the perpetrator as soon as possible, and having an additional person on the investigation could only be beneficial.
Under Ye Tian’s aggressive approach, the two junior officers spilled everything, recounting the details of how Wang Ke’er was injured.
“Last night, just like usual, we were on duty with the mentor.
Later, we received a 911 call reporting a car theft in the parking lot on Bright Street, apparently involving assault.
You know, there have been many such cases recently, negatively affecting us, and the chief had already ordered us to solve them.”
Remembering the events of the night, one junior officer recounted clearly, “Then the mentor took us to investigate.
When we got there, we indeed saw someone stealing a car, and there was blood on the ground.
Seeing us, that person ran off incredibly fast.
Neither of us could catch up, only the mentor could, but as she nearly reached the other side of the street, we suddenly heard her scream.
By the time we arrived, the mentor was unconscious.
I asked her which way the car thief had gone, but she just kept muttering your name.
That’s the entire incident.”
In fact, this was the only clue in the case.
It seemed the assailant had come prepared, everything was planned meticulously, leaving barely any clues, which made it extremely difficult for the veteran officers in the police department to investigate, gather evidence, or even make a move.
“That’s it?
Is there anything else?” Ye Tian asked calmly, “From the moment Ke’er disappeared from your sight to when you found her suddenly screaming, how much time passed?
Also, did you test the blood on the ground, or investigate the phone number from which the 911 call was made?”
“About 40 seconds, maybe 30 seconds actually, it was very quick, just in the blink of an eye,” the junior officer affirmed confidently.
Ye Tian nodded, a strange gleam flashed across his eyes as he continued, “Was the blood tested?
And what about that 911 call?”
“The weirdest part is that when we went to collect evidence, we found out it wasn’t blood on the ground, but tomato ketchup.
We were duped!” the junior officer said resentfully.
“We traced the 911 call; it was made from a public phone.
There were no cameras in that area, not even a fingerprint left behind.”
“Damn it all, they were definitely targeting Ke’er!” Ye Tian clenched his fists, “It was clearly premeditated; they set this up wanting to kill Ke’er!
Damn them, this isn’t over!”
No matter who was behind harming Wang Ke’er—whether it was a grand thief, a petty burglar, or an ex-convict, they had all made it onto Ye Tian’s hit list.
The thought of Wang Ke’er, once a fine policewoman, now reduced to a vegetative state, filled Ye Tian with uncontrollable anger.
