Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 368

Early afternoon on the next day, in the fitness room of a private club

"Hiram, I have investigated the matter. Several of the bodies found in the scene had been blown into pieces during the explosion and couldn't be identified. Patrick Yan's father found on a body's arm a watch, which was exactly the same one as Patrick was wearing before. Therefore, he thought the body was Patrick and took it back.

However, we still can't confirm whether the body is Patrick or not,"

Chad said to Hiram, who was working out on the treadmill.

Slowing down, Hiram thought for a while before answering,"Unable to confirm means that he might still be alive. We didn't find any medical record of Patrick in the hospitals during our previous investigations. Therefore, it means that he might have known something about the accident beforehand.

He couldn't have made it out alive, unless he had had an escape plan."

"Hiram, do you mean that Patrick might have known all of this in advance and therefore had decided to play along, so that everybody would think that he died in the explosion?! Chad said, trying to catch up with the speed of Hiram's vigorous thinking.

"Well, it looks like we can't rule out this possibility."

Hiram said, as he stopped the treadmill and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"But, Hiram, what could possibly be his purpose in doing this? Lots of men, whom he relied on to build his business empire during the past three years, were killed in that explosion. Even though he might have survived that explosion, whom could he depend on, if he is to revenge on Marcia afterwards?"

Chad asked with a look full of doubt.

There were so many questions in this accident. Since it was impossible that Patrick would come to Marcia for revenge with bare hands, he must have had someone powerful supporting him secretly. Definitely, this one couldn't have been any member of Mo Family. Who could this mysterious person be then?

"Relax! What will be, will be. Besides, send more guys to follow and protect Rachel, and report immediately to me about anything abnormal," Hiram said, as he grabbed a bottle of water, when a sudden thought struck him like a lightning.

How was it possible that he hadn't thought of it sooner?! Patrick was very likely to come to Rachel, if he had survived that explosion.

"Okay, I know," Chad nodded reassuringly to Hiram and got ready to leave. When Chad opened the door, Luke was heading to Hiram's office with the speed of light. The two men greeted each other,"Good day to you, Mr. Jian."

"Good day. Where is Hiram?" Luke replied, holding a folder in his hands, as though it was a secret treasure he had just found out.

"He is inside, waiting for you. Please, go in!" Chad responded to Luke with a smile.

After Luke entered the office, he found out that Hiram was resting on a chair beside the office desk. Then, he went straight to the desk, put the folder on top of it and then said,"Hiram, I have already been familiar with all the details on the case. In addition I have also submitted materials for bail application. Fannie is expected to be released by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Hiram grabbed an unopened bottle of water and tossed it towards Luke, before saying approvingly,"Thanks for all your hard work. I want her to be cleared of all the charges and be released as soon as possible. Can that be done?"

"Um, actually, it is possible. Since it has been a long time, the material evidences and the statements of the witness may not exactly be convictive, so there is still a chance. As to the witness, I am afraid we can't approach her, given the fact that your father has been protecting her so well. But I have a plan for the material evidences,"

Luke said, as he drew out a picture from the folder and put it in front of Hiram. "Look at that! They say that this kid is Landy's. Here is the report of the maternity test. But I'm certain that we can do the test again, without any other intermediaries involved," Luke assured him.

"I have talked to Fannie before. She shared that she did feel guilty for having several conflicts with Landy, when they were both in love with Simpson before. However, Fannie never believed that Landy had a child of her own. Therefore, if we are to trust Fannie, it will be very necessary for us to do the maternity test again," Luke clarified.

With glints of doubt in his eyes, Hiram thought for a while, before saying,"We can do the test again, but...

... if the hospital is faking the test result, will it be possible for us to find out the truth? Since they replaced the true result with the fake one, there must be evidences. If we really want to reveal that the previous result was wrong, we need to get the proofs," Hiram added.

Luke nodded his head and replied,"Yes, you're right. Only with a well-founded argumentation can we be admitted to apply for retesting. Of course, it's better if we can provide evidences. Then, our odds to win the case will become much bigger."

"Wait a second!" Hiram exclaimed, suddenly thinking of something. Then, he stood up, grabbed the briefcase hanging on the wall behind him and fumbled out an audio tape from it.
