Invisible Security Guard
Chapter 132: Coincidence

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Coincidence

Ember Vance was also a descendant of a noble family, so she knew how to navigate the games of political stratagem and covert intrigue. The situation now was that she had apprehended Bud Trujillo, obtaining a significant amount of illegal evidence against him.

After securing this evidence, her small police station no longer had the capacity to pursue the case further, which is why she had sent Bud Trujillo off to the division under your leadership, Director Long. Whether to continue detaining him or release him, that will be up to you, Director Long. I only resolved the matter of Trujillo assaulting the security guard yesterday; the rest of the issues all stemmed from that.

Director Long detested Ember Vance to death, yet she had not made any mistakes.

Bud Trujillo banged the table and stormed off, leaving it unclear whether he was furious with Ember Vance or with Bud Trujillo. Before departing, he continued to maintain a righteous and stern stance on upholding the law.

Soon, everyone dispersed, and after a busy day, Ember Vance took all the officers who had been on duty, changed into casual clothes, and went out to celebrate in the evening. She paid out of her pocket; they drank Maotai and feasted on exquisite dishes.

When it was time to charge into battle, the officers of the station had not hesitated, so naturally, she wanted to reward them.

"Ember, this matter, I reckon it will end up falling on you in the end!" At the dinner table, Deputy Sun no longer called her Station Chief, but Ember, seeing her as one of his own kin.

"I know," said Ember Vance, sipping her cola. She did not drink.

"So, what’s your plan? Whether to release or sentence him, it seems that everyone will have to follow your lead. You’d better think it through, don’t make an enemy who could prove a threat for you and your family, Wilson!" Deputy Sun advised in a hushed, avuncular tone.

"I know. I’ll discuss it when I get back," Ember Vance gently inclined her head in acknowledgment.

"Right, that’s the way to do it, have a good talk with your family. Having the Trujillo family’s young heir in your grasp could be a political asset if used wisely!" Deputy Sun, who was quite savvy in the ways of the government, suggested that if the Vance clan played their cards right, the Trujillo family would inevitably have to compromise in certain aspects, which could result in the Trujillo family aiding the Vance clan or showing good will in some realm.

Ember Vance shook her head with a smile, as Deputy Sun had misunderstood her. She had no intention of consulting her family; she planned to seek counsel from that bad person and proceed according to his wishes!

...

Meanwhile, as Ember Vance was celebrating her success, Yusuf Zuck also left the Ruiz estate alone, heading towards the hospital. The sports car driver was still hospitalized; Yusuf Zuck recalled whether his family had been found and if he was still alive.

However, upon arriving at the hospital, he sensed something was amiss. The corridor outside yesterday’s hospital ward was crowded with many people, including some in military uniform, and the entire corridor was eerily quiet.

Yusuf Zuck had a puzzled look on his face. Could it be that some high-ranking official was staying at the hospital?

"Hey, Yusuf Zuck, you’re here?" Just as Yusuf Zuck stood perplexed at the entrance of the corridor staircase, a fashionably dressed young girl suddenly ran up to him!

Yusuf Zuck was momentarily stunned before breaking into a smile. Wasn’t this chic young girl the nurse who had bandaged him up last night?

The young nurse looked to be around eighteen or nineteen, not very tall, with pale skin. She wasn’t particularly beautiful, but she exuded a sense of freshness and youthfulness. Delicate and vibrant, she resembled a ripe peach about to come into full bloom.

"Why haven’t you left work yet?" Yusuf Zuck whispered.

"I..." The young nurse crossed her hands in front of her, wanting to say that she had stayed because she wanted to see if Yusuf Zuck would come or not.

Indeed, she had waited and he really did come.

"I... I was just about to leave, and then I saw you," the nurse said with a flushed smile.

"Oh," Yusuf Zuck nodded, but he didn’t press further. He remembered that nurses usually changed shifts in the morning, right? So why was there a shift change at night?

Of course, some questions are better left unasked. If someone lies, they have their reasons for lying.

What’s going on here? Did the driver from yesterday die?"

"Shh, keep it down. These people are the family of the young man you saved. The whole family’s here, and they all serve in the military. And, his Dad—a pretty high-ranking official—is currently in a hospital room listening to a specialist consultation."

"Oh my God, that’s the family of the guy I saved? They’re all in the military?" Yusuf Zuck exclaimed in surprise.

"I heard his dad is a general... from the naval forces. His grandfather was a high official from before the founding of the country, the kind that didn’t die!"

"..." Yusuf Zuck was rendered speechless. A high official from before the country was founded, and one that was still alive, meant that the young man from last night had quite the background.

"Oh, good that the kid didn’t die. I just came to check on him. You’re off work, right? Where are you headed? I’ll drive you home." Yusuf Zuck turned to leave. Since the guy was alive and his family had arrived, it was time to go back. As for the security deposit of one hundred thousand, a clan like that probably wouldn’t default on it. They would look for him once they’d settled down, so there was no use for him to stay here any longer.

"Er... where I live is pretty far away." The young nurse said timidly, lowering her head.

"No worries, driving is not like biking. A bit of distance is fine. Let’s go, let’s go." Yusuf Zuck waved his hand.

"Okay." The young nurse bit her lower lip, her little heart thumping wildly. Had she just hitched a ride with a rich and handsome guy? It happened so suddenly, so nerve-wracking!

"Clack—" Just as Yusuf Zuck was turning around and the young nurse was about to head downstairs, the door of a hospital room was pushed open. The first to come out was an old man with white hair, dressed in an old-fashioned Zhongshan suit and carrying an old medicine box. Despite his white hair, he had no beard and looked hale and hearty, but he also wore dark sunglasses.

Following him was a handsome young man also carrying a small medicine box.

When the young man emerged, he happened to see Yusuf Zuck turning around at the staircase of the corridor, which made him pause for a moment before shouting, "Yusuf Zuck?" He sounded unsure, so there was a question in his voice!

Yusuf Zuck was also taken aback when he heard his name being called but immediately felt a bit confused. Jerome Hart had actually come to treat the person he had saved!

He turned around to look at Jerome Hart.

"Ha, Yusuf Zuck, you’ve come at just the right time. I was planning to look for you too. Come here, Grandpa, this is the Yusuf Zuck I told you about, right in front!" Jerome Hart exclaimed as he grabbed his grandfather’s hand.

"Mr. Zuck? Is it you?" Just as Jerome Hart’s voice fell, a doctor in a white coat behind him also recognized Yusuf Zuck. Wasn’t this the kind-hearted person who had brought in the injured man last night? He’d paid a deposit of one hundred thousand!

"What’s going on?" A middle-aged man in a grey jacket, dressed very ordinarily, asked softly.

"Chief, this is Yusuf Zuck, the enthusiastic citizen who saved the person last night. He’s the one who paid the deposit," the doctor immediately replied.

"Ah!" Upon hearing the doctor’s words, everyone in the hallway turned to look at Yusuf Zuck, and Jerome Hart also looked baffled. This was too much of a coincidence, wasn’t it? And Yusuf Zuck had done a good deed!

"Hahaha, how wonderful! This is fate. Little Li, this Yusuf Zuck is good friends with your nephew Wen Shuai. What serendipity! Yusuf, come here, the patient’s in a critical condition, you can help check on him too!" The white-haired Old Liu called out to Yusuf Zuck with a wave of his hand.

However, it was quite apparent that Old Liu, wearing dark sunglasses, was blind—he couldn’t see.

And the middle-aged man in a jacket, whom Old Liu called Little Li, stepped forward, passing through the crowd to approach Yusuf Zuck.

Yusuf Zuck blinked, also feeling a headache coming on. Did Jerome Hart and his grandfather really expect him to get involved in treating the patient?

They mistook him for a doctor!
