Chapter 534 The Way Out

Hank walked into the ward and put down the chicken soup. “Sister Zhang cooked it in the early

morning. Try it.” There was only one bowl of soup in the delicate white porcelain jar. The whole ward

was instantly filled with the delicious taste of the soup.

Lyra was stunned. “I don’t think I’m the one who got hurt.” Hank ignored this. She was the only one he

cared about. “We have something to do later.” If he said they had something to do, then they would

really have something to do. Lyra hurriedly lowered her head and ate. On the other side, Keith was not

idle. He urged Su Yuan to eat a few more mouthfuls. When they packed up everything, they

immediately went to get discharged. Lawyer Liu was also ready. Lyra and Hank looked at each other

and understood something in each other’s eyes. Su Yuan told them everything that had happened on

the day of the incident in detail. She did not betray Lyra, nor did she splash dirty water on the Barnwell

Group’s signboard. When Qiao Lin brought another lawyer over, they had already finished. Hank had

already prepared a way out beforehand and had Keith send Su Yuan away. Before the matter was

resolved, no one would be able to find her. Qiao Lin knew that she was a step too late and was just

about to think of another way when something happened unexpectedly. Alma Jones had been coerced

by Qin Xiaoxiao and had a mental problem. She slit her wrist in the bathroom. “If anything happens to

her, I will not let you off!” At the same time, Keith asked Hank, “Mr. Barnwell, are we going to continue?”

“Let’s go take a look at the situation first. We won’t move for now.” “Don’t worry, nothing will happen,”

Hank said as he stepped on the accelerator. With Alma Jones’ personality, she would not give up her

life so easily. However, too many things had happened recently. Lyra held her palm tightly and forced

herself to focus. The car made a sharp turn and drove into the parking lot. “Make way.”

Lyra rushed out of the car and ran straight inside. However, the police had already sealed off the ward

area. Hank frowned as he looked at the chaotic scene in front of him. He grabbed her arm in time and

said, “Let’s go over there.”

According to the current situation, as soon as Lyra showed up, she would be surrounded and blocked

by the reporters. He took her to the staff elevator and went back to Alma Jones’ ward from behind. Lyra

did not even have time to think about how he was so familiar with the structure of the hospital. Sister

Xia’s cries could be faintly heard in the ward. “I shouldn’t have gone out. I should have guarded her!

Qin Xiaoxiao came here the day before, and I can testify.”

“She is not as innocent as she looks.”

“Alma, she… how can she be so stupid!” Beside her stood a person who should not have been there,

Xu Zikan.

“Dr. Xu, you were the first to discover Alma Jones at the time of the incident. Why did you think of

rushing into the bathroom?” The police officer asked.

Under normal circumstances, male doctors would have scruples. “She is my patient. I know everything

about her.” Xu Zikan’s face darkened. “In other words, before the incident happened, you had thought

that she might seek death?” the police officer was stunned.

“No.”

Xu Zikan took off his glasses and looked a little tired. “It’s just a feeling. I can’t explain it clearly with

words. I have a very bad feeling today.” The police officer listened to him and looked at him with

curiosity. “Dr. Xu, I hope you won’t leave the country in the near future. If necessary, we will invite you

to cooperate with the investigation at any time.” “Do you think I’m a suspect?” Xu Zikan frowned. As

Lyra listened from behind, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. The police officer seemed

to be consciously guiding Xu Zikan to make a statement, forcing Xu Zikan to be agitated. At the same

time, Hank also realized that something was wrong. “Where is Officer Priestley?” he asked.

“He has been transferred to another case.” The policeman turned around and introduced himself after

seeing Hank and Lyra. “I will be responsible for this case in

the future. My surname is Zhang, Zhang Yi.” “Officer Zhang, actually…” “I have already made my

statement. You can go in and check on the patient now, but don’t provoke her.” He was quite

reasonable. But for some reason, Lyra just felt that this person was not quite right.

Had she seen the pair of eyes somewhere before? Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“It will be resolved,” Hank said, putting his arm around her shoulder. “Mm,” Lyra replied. Taking two

more steps forward, she saw Alma Jones lying there with a pale face and a note in her hand.

“Everything was done by Qin Xiaoxiao.” Did she want to use this decisive method to escape all of this?

Before Alma Jones could wake up, Qin Xiaoxiao had already been detained by the police. When she

was about to enter the police car, she was screaming at the top of her lungs, “I’m innocent! It’s all

because of that slut Alma Jones! She set me up!” At the same time. Huaien sat at home and smashed

his teacup against the glass.

“Stupid!” Qiao Lin stood to the side with his head lowered, his expression solemn and cold. Right now,

everything had been ruined by this sudden episode. Huaien had seen the chess pieces that he had

personally cultivated be destroyed just like that. “The public opinion about Qin Xiaoxiao is very bad

now, and there are people on Alma Jones’ side who are stirring up the emotions of the outside world.

Several partners of the Barnwell Group have started…” “Don’t tell me such news again!” “All of this

must have been planned by Hank,” Huaien shouted angrily again. Qiao Lin remained silent. Before the

incident happened, Hank had been busy working with the Barnwell Group to cooperate with the police

investigation. Keith was not in the company. If this matter had something to do with him, wouldn’t he be

as predictive as a god?

It was too unreasonable.

Qiao Lin felt that this matter might have been Alma Jones’ own idea, and even Lyra was not clear

about it. “Immediately call Director Bai over. Also, about digesting Jones Group’s shares we talked

about before, tell the other side to prepare as soon as possible. At the latest, I want to see the results in

a day. Huaien was already furious and smashed another pile of things at home. Qiao Lin maintained

his composure and did as he was told. When Director Bai was called over, he was still a little reluctant.

“Assistant Qiao, what is the situation outside? Why are you still working so hard for Mr. Barnwell?”

Director Bai frowned. “Don’t blame me for not reminding you. In this era, people should find a way out

for themselves sooner.” Qiao Lin’s eyes darkened a little. Seeing that he did not speak, Director Bai

shook his head and said, “What a fool.” As he walked up the stairs, Qiao Lin was still standing at the

door. The time on his phone was exactly three in the afternoon. He quickly sent a message. “After Alma

Jones wakes up, send the things over.”

The way out?

How could a person like him have a way out? He had to risk in order to become a man above others.
