Chapter 125
The hospital was in uproar again.
Rachel also knew that Kevin had been taken away. She couldn't stop thinking about the strange look on his face, and the way he said that it was just an accident.
She had her suspicions, but she wasn't sure whether Kevin had anything to do with it until she heard that he had been taken away to the police station.
Rachel didn't know that Sheila was involved. She was shocked when she heard that Kevin had been arrested.
'Murder? What the hell is going on?' This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Everyone in the hospital was talking about the news that Kevin had been arrested.
It was rumored that Kevin was under suspicion of attempted murder.
Could the elegant Kevin possibly be a murderer? Nobody could believe it, but none of them knew the truth.
Maybe there would be more news the next day.
They all just sighed. It looked like Kevin was really out of luck.
'Out of luck?' Rachel shrugged, not feeling inclined to say what she was thinking. She knew that there was a reason for what had happened to him. ■d
She didn't really care what happened to Kevin, but she couldn't really keep herself out of the whole affair.
Not long afterward, Rachel received another call from Sheila. She asked her again coldly, "Dr. Rachel, do you still refuse to tell me the truth?"
Rachel was astonished by the question. 'Truth? What truth?'
"I have told you everything I know." She had nothing else to say.
To her surprise, Sheila's next words were, "Just wait and see."
It sounded like a threat, but Sheila hung up the phone before Rachel could respond.
Half an hour later, the meaning of Sheila's words became clear to Rachel.
It had been three hours since Kevin was arrested. Everyone felt it was the most exciting event that had ever happened in the hospital.
Then the police came back to the hospital. At that moment, Rachel was off duty.
This time, they went directly upstairs. This was puzzling to everyone.
At that moment, the executive was still thinking about the troubling matter of Kevin, when they called him again anxiously, "Executive Fang, there's more trouble! Come down! The police have come back. They're taking Rachel away this time!"
"What!?"
Many doctors, nurses, and patients had ■d
gathered at the door of Rachel's office. They were more astonished than ever before to see that she was being taken away.
What could be the meaning of this? It seemed like these cops were arresting people randomly for no imaginable reason.
Rachel was much calmer than Kevin had been. She kept a poker face when she looked at the three cops, and smiled slightly. "Sorry, I must know the reason before I go with you."
Someone in the crowd began to whisper, "Why did they come here twice? Are these cops fake?"
Everyone was on the alert after they heard that.
Rachel looked more closely at the uniforms of the police officers. She saw that the uniforms had ID numbers on them, but she was still unsure if these cops were authentic.
The people in the crowd started murmuring suspiciously. Some of them were Rachel's patients, and naturally wanted to stand on her side.
With the mood turning against them, the three policemen looked sullen. They never expected to meet this resistance this time. The director of Rachel's department rushed through the crowd, and said, "Would you please give me the reason for this? And may I please see your police certificates?"
Their leader replied with a straight face, "She is suspected of involvement in a murder. We are taking her in for interrogation, according to proper procedure."
That statement caused another uproar among the onlookers. ■d
Not long before, Kevin had been arrested on suspicion of murder as well.
If Rachel and Kevin were both suspected of murder in the same case, why did the police not take them away at the same time?
Rachel stood there calmly, with her hands in her pockets. She said, "Please explain this to me. Who am I suspected of killing?"
The leader of the three policemen looked sternly at her and said, "This is no time for excuses or complaints. You can speak about this in detail when you arrive at the police station."
She sneered at them, saying, "If the evidence is so certain, let the victim's family testify against me.
I don't even know who was murdered."
"Rachel Shen, if you don't cooperate with us, we'll have to take you away against your will."
"Huh!" At that moment, another person broke through the crowd. "Arresting people without evidence? How dare you!"
Rachel's heart skipped a beat when she saw who was coming.
Dressed casually in a light-colored polo shirt, Jack was walking slowly through the crowd with Mendes.
Because of his powerful aura, the crowd made way for him as he passed through.
Walking over in a leisurely manner, with Mendes in his hand, he looked the policemen coldly in the eye.
Eventually he reached Rachel and stood by her side.
■d
His sudden appearance was somehow a relief to her. Raising her head, she was about to speak again, but on second thought she held her tongue. Jack gave her a silent look to comfort her.
He turned his head to look at the three policemen, and with cold hostility he said, "Could you bother to give me a detailed explanation? Why are you here? Why have you accused my wife of committing a murder?"
The look on his face was intimidating. "Don't you know that spreading slander is a crime?"
The three policemen were taken aback and looked at each other. They had never anticipated the arrival of such an intimidating person.
Spreading slander? Everyone in the crowd felt wiser when they heard that phrase. The three policemen seemed less and less authentic.
The crowd clamored indignantly for the police to show their identification.
Rachel was a dedicated doctor and had a great relationship with her patients. They were all very eager to defend her and help her.
At that moment, almost the whole crowd was on her side and ready to speak up for her.
Rachel was overcome with emotion and she pressed her eyelashes, feeling that she was ready to cry.
The policemen kept silent as the crowd rallied against them.
When the executive hurried over, he saw the ■d
three policemen take out their police certificates sullenly and show them around.
The leader of the three men said harshly, "Did you see that clearly?"
The crowd nudged forward to get a closer look. It appeared to be true that these were real policemen.
They all exchanged glances and felt bewildered. Several of those who were outside the crowd still felt anxious and wanted to squeeze in.
Upon the arrival of the executive, someone whispered to him, "Executive Fang, what should we do? These policemen are here again."
The executive took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead, fearful of what might happen.
Kevin was a member of his family.
As for Rachel...
His eyes lit up when he saw the tall man standing beside Rachel, and he had no time to listen to what anyone said.
He pushed his way through the crowd, shouting, "Excuse me! Excuse me!"
He approached Jack and greeted him warmly, saying, "Mr. Fu! Why have you come here?"
"I'm here to pick up my wife," he replied calmly and simply.
A sudden thought came to Rachel's mind and she glanced at him furtively.
Wife!? In a daze, the executive saw that Jack ■d
and Rachel were hand in hand. He was momentarily at a loss for words.
The policeman was impatient and said roughly, "Please cooperate with us. We are just following orders. All of your questions will be answered at the police station."
Rachel and Jack looked at each other. For the first time in their marriage, they were in perfect agreement.
"Okay, I'll go with you." She was curious to see what was really going on. She was almost certain that this whole business had something to do with Sheila.
Jack, however, didn't know the details. He thought for a moment and said, "I'm her husband. Can't we go together?"
The leader of the policemen nodded and said, "Just come with us to the station and waste no more time here. The sooner you come, the sooner it's over."
Unsure of what this was all about, Jack held Mendes and followed them.
The executive was still in shock. He couldn't understand how Rachel had become the wife of the MK Group president. He had thought she was just a relative of his.
When they were gone, the head nurse asked him nervously, "Executive Fang, what should we do? What happened?"
The executive came to his senses and ran straight after Jack to catch up with him. ■d
As they walked out of the hospital, Jack pointed to his car in the parking lot and said, "May we drive by ourselves?"
One of the three men, who had a pudgy appearance, seemed annoyed by his request. But before he could say anything, Jack handed him his business card.
All of the three policemen were stunned by what they saw, and immediately felt uncertain of what to do.
Jack had one hand in his pocket and looked perfectly calm. "You can go to the MK Group to find us if you think we'll run away.
Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm Jack Fu."
On the business card he had handed them, his name was on it. Jack Fu.
The CEO of MK Group.
These policemen couldn't afford
to offend a powerful man like that.
Sheila, in order to revenge her sister, hooked up with the son of a powerful man.
She had intended to take advantage of the man's family background to punish Kevin and Rachel, but she had never expected to cross Jack.
The Fu family was one of the wealthiest families in Ninwell City, but obviously their wealth alone was not what made them the most dominant clan.
The Fu family was the most powerful because of many complicated social relationships.
