When I raised my head to look at the person, I was stunned for a moment. “Danny, why are you…”
He hurriedly got into the car while bleeding and said, “Go now!”
Without thinking too much, I quickly drove out of the area and left the scene. Then, I looked at him and asked, “Why are you here? Are you still working with Abe?”
Due to the injury on his arm, he frowned as he looked at me. I continued, “I’ll send you to the hospital!”
“You can’t!” he shouted. He was already pale because of the pain.
A while later, I realized that if he went to the hospital then, the police would question him very soon. Since there was a shooting case in Imperial Hotel that day, even if Danny said he was not at the scene, his gunshot wound would still arouse suspicion.
Thus, my only option was to take him to meet Joseph first.
As soon as he saw Danny, Joseph’s expression instantly darkened. The only thing he did not do was to take a knife straight to Danny’s neck and ask him what exactly was going on.
Without too much delay, I gave Joseph a brief explanation then drove straight to Dillan’s villa. The firefighters were already there when we reached, and Zachary had just been carried into the ambulance.
I looked at Boris and asked, “What exactly happened? Dillan actually set fire to such a huge villa?”
Despite it being in the suburbs, the villa was still worth tens of millions. What was he planning when he set it on fire?
Boris sighed and replied, “You head to the hospital to check on your father first. I’ll take care of the rest.”
We were indeed surrounded by many people, making it inconvenient for me to continue asking him questions. Thus, we headed to the hospital together as Boris suggested. The doctor concluded that Zachary had inhaled too much smoke but would be okay after resting for a while.
Joseph had to settle the matter with Imperial Hotel, and Boris was handling the issue with Dillan.
Meanwhile, Danny and I sat on the seats along the corridor for ages. After a long while, I said, “I know you are with Abe, so I won’t ask too many questions. But considering that I have helped you today, can you tell me why Abe isn’t dead?”
Danny’s injury had already been treated by a doctor, and he was sitting beside me silently the whole time.
