It was already the next morning when Song Zhi finally regained consciousness. The maid had come back to work after taking a day’s leave when she saw Song Zhi lying on the ground in the living room. She called Song Zhi several times before he finally woke up.
The maid noticed Song Zhi’s clothing looked slightly disheveled but he did not seem injured, so it did not occur to her that someone had broken into the villa. She finally realized Song Zhi was hurt when he appeared to be in pain as she helped him up.
She hurriedly called for an ambulance before reporting this to the police.
After Song Zhi was sent to the hospital, the police arrived at the residence.
After all, the eldest son of the Song family had gotten attacked in his own residence. The police naturally investigated the scene of the crime particularly cautiously. Unfortunately, it was impossible for them to find even a strand of hair, let alone a fingerprint.
Even the surveillance footage was missing.
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Shortly after the doctor had secured and bandaged Song Zhi’s injuries, he received a call from the police station. After he learned of the outcome of the police’s investigation, he nearly exploded in fury.
He had gotten beaten up and the culprit was nowhere to be found. It was absolutely humiliating for him.
Before long, Song Qi arrived at the hospital. She frowned when she saw Song Zhi lying on the hospital bed. “What happened? Who did it? How dare they do this to you?”
Song Zhi’s face was ghastly pale and his eyes were filled with fury. “I don’t know either. He was wearing a mask, so I didn’t get a good look at his face.”
Song Qi glanced at his arms and legs worriedly. “Are your injuries serious?”
The pain Song Zhi had suffered last night seemed to still linger in his mind. He inhaled deeply before he said, “I suffered moderate fractures. The doctor says I need to recuperate for a month or two before I can recover fully.”
Song Qi contemplated the moment she heard this and said sadly, “First, it was Butler Wang and Doctor Hu. Now, even you are hurt. Who on earth is behind this?”
Was she next?
Song Qi made up her mind to bring a couple of bodyguards with her the next time she went out.
“I don’t know either,” said Song Zhi deeply.
He paused before he continued. “Since the man was able to enter the villa undetected, and was a good fighter, he must be a professional. From the sound of it, I reckon he is a family foe.”
Song Zhi did not care about how people felt, so he often offended others. Since he was from the Song family and was close to the Ji family, no one dared to fight back even if they were taken advantage of.
“It must be the same person who had attacked Butler Wang and Dr. Hu the other day. You were lucky to avoid the same fate since you were out.” Song Qi suddenly connected the dots and analyzed the clues with certainty.
Song Zhi leaned against the headboard and closed his eyes. “I think so too.”
He genuinely had no idea who else the intruder could be.
Fortunately, his condition was not as serious as Butler Wang and Dr. Hu, so he did not lose his voice.
“Why don’t you get some rest? I am going to check on Butler Wang and see how he is doing and whether his voice came back,” said Song Qi.
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Song Zhi with a nod before lying back in bed.
Song Qi glanced at him. She sighed in her heart and turned to leave the hospital ward.
Butler Wang’s room was nearby. His wife was giving him water when Song Qi got there. “Hello, Young Mistress Qi.”
Butler Wang’s wife hurriedly stood up and said in surprise. She did not expect Song Qi to visit her husband again.
Song Qi raised her hand and gestured for her to hold the formalities. She walked up to Butler Wang’s bedside and asked in concern.. “Uncle Wang, how are you feeling today? Are you able to speak now?”
