Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 497

Chapter 497 It Was Too Late At the mention of business

Bao Yichen’s thoughts were gradually brought back. “Not yet.” His hand rested on the bar counter,

revealing his branded watch. “After all, he is my only relative in this world. If I really do something to

him, I’m afraid my dad will blame me.”

The word family was already a very long time ago for him. When he thought of these two words, there

were only pieces of broken memories in his mind, pressing down on his heart and tearing his wound,

making him unable to breathe. This was also the reason why he had never really touched Huaien. And

the reason why the other party was so unscrupulous was most likely because he held onto his

thoughts. The atmosphere between the two gradually cooled down. After a long time, Jasper sighed,

“You have ruined Ding Yi’s plan this time. I think you, Second Uncle, will definitely not sit still and wait

for death. If he continues to show goodwill to Ding Yi and they unite, you will be in trouble.” “The Li Jin

family only cares about benefits and may change sides at any time.” Jasper analyzed the current

situation rationally. The three groups were like a triangle, holding each other back. Any change in either

side would cause the whole situation to shake. “There will always be a way.” Bao Yichen said. He

looked down at the wine glass, paid the bill, and then got up. I’ll go back first.” “Ah?” Jasper didn’t react

at all. He had already left. At this time, on the dance floor, a slender figure kept looking in the direction

where they were sitting. Seeing Bao Yichen leave, his eyes were full of disappointment.

The day before the court session, the lawyer suddenly announced that Lachlan had an emergency and

needed to be treated outside. After a lot of trouble, he was in a coma and was sent to a private hospital

with strict security. At the same time, the police also sent some people. He stood guard outside the

ward, not allowing Lachlan to come into contact with anyone.

The lawyer walked into the ward with white gloves and documents in his hands. He bent down and

whispered in Lachlan’s ear, “Mr. Barnwell asked me to come.” Only then did Lachlan slowly open his

eyes. There was no third person in the ward except him and the lawyer. “What are you dragging on for?

Hurry up and get me out of here. Otherwise, I will tell you everything that happened back then and let

Huaien die without a burial place.” Lachlan was furious. “Mr. Wen, don’t worry. I have a document here

that you need to look through personally.” The lawyer handed over the document in his hand.

Lachlan was still frowning. Just as he was about to open it, his neck was stabbed by a needle-like

object. He only felt dizzy and fell on the pillow. Before he lost consciousness, the last sentence he

heard was from the lawyer, “Mr. Barnwell said that your cooperation ends here. Only the dead can keep

secrets forever.”

“No…”

Lachlan wanted to struggle, but it was too late. When Officer Zhao was in the police station meeting, he

received a notification from

the hospital that Lachlan’s condition had deteriorated and was in a critical condition. “I’ll be right there.

No matter what, I have to save him!”

It was not easy for the case to make new progress. If it stopped, it would be impossible to continue the

investigation in the future. No one would be willing to waste their energy on such an old matter.

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late.

Lachlan declared his death in medicine. Since Alma was still his legal daughter and heir, she was taken

to the hospital by the police officer. “Confirm the time and specific situation of Lachlan’s death and sign

here.” Alma looked at the cold corpse and was silent for a long time. Her mind was not only filled with

images of Lachlan beating and scolding her, but also the time she spent with Kensley family when she

was young.

She also felt the warmth of home from this man. Tears rolled down Alma’s eyes. Step by step, she

moved over and slowly reached out her hand to touch the already cold person.

As soon as she closed her eyes, tears flowed down her cheeks. Officer Zhao was standing in the

corridor, reporting this to the higher-ups. Seeing Alma come out, he immediately stepped forward. “The

truth is that Lachlan has no chronic disease. All the physical characteristics before he was detained

were normal. Why did this happen suddenly?”

The more anxious his tone was, the calmer Alma became. “You should not have asked me this.” “I

want to be alone for a while. This should be my right, Officer Zhao,” Alma said with a bitter smile.

This was a reasonable request. Officer Zhao had no choice but to find two female officers to look after

Alma. He returned to the car, thought for a while, and dialed Bao Yichen’s number. “There is one thing.

Even if I don’t tell you, you will soon know…” As Officer Zhao expected, the news of Lachlan’s accident

spread quickly, which confirmed his guess that this matter was not purely an accident. Someone

provoked the law and silenced Lachlan in front of everyone. Zhong Chulan heard Bao Yichen call in the

room and walked over, “I will go too.”

A hint of heaviness flashed through Bao Yichen’s eyes. After a moment of hesitation, he could only

agree. Some things were impossible to avoid. When they arrived, Alma was sitting in the hospital

corridor. Zhong Chulan walked over, and she was still crying. “I don’t want to see you. Can you go?”

Her tears fell one by one. “It has already happened. You can’t…” But before Zhong Chulan’s hand

could land on her shoulder, she pushed it away forcefully. “Do you have to say this?” Alma glared at her

fiercely. “Yes, he is heinous and has done so many bad things, but he has raised me for more than

twenty years. If I didn’t have to testify in court and let you have evidence in your hands, maybe he

would not have died!” As Alma shouted, his whole body was shaking. “I admit that he is not good to

me, but he used to be my only relative in this world!” Zhong Chulan’s pupils shook and she opened her

mouth, but she could not speak for a long time. Bao Yichen had always been not far behind them. If

Zhong Chulan needed anything,

he would rush over immediately.

“Now that you have everything, and Bao Yichen dotes on you so much, you can rest in peace and wait

for a rematch to become a wife of a rich family. Why do you have to make things like this?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Are you happy that the next one to die is me?” Alma asked, her eyes bloodshot. Zhong Chulan was

stunned on the spot. Seeing Alma being taken away by the police, she could not say anything to stop

him. “Officer Zhao said that she was out of control and needed psychological counseling. You don’t

have to take what she just said to heart.” “What she said is the truth,” Zhong Chulan shook her head.

She was the one who insisted on ending all this in this way. “If I hadn’t insisted on doing this, you would

have tolerated Huaien all the time, right?” she asked, turning to Bao Yichen.
