Jane had always been fine, so how could she suddenly get into a car accident on the main road? And it wasn’t even at a turn, how did two cars collide with each other?
Patrick realized something was wrong and wiped Jane’s exposed skin while sending two assistants to watch over her. He was worried that something else might happen to her.
As he watched Jane unconscious, Patrick couldn’t leave her side. He opened his phone and found that the surveillance video of the accident had been released online.
Patrick clicked on it and although it was blurry, it was clear that the big truck had hit Jane’s car head-on. There was no one else around except for their two cars; obviously this was arranged intentionally.
Patrick furrowed his brow but he couldn’t leave Jane at this time. He instructed his people to investigate and sent the video to the police department as well. Since Jane had already given so much time and effort in helping with their investigation, they were naturally fully committed to finding out what happened.
Since there was a car accident, it was natural to punish the driver responsible. However, from the surveillance footage, it could be seen that the driver left without even looking back after the accident.
From the video, he appeared unscathed, clearly well-prepared.
They arrived at the scene and cordoned off the crime scene. They found a large cushion on the ground.
Obviously, such a large cushion had fallen from the truck.
It seemed that they had come prepared this time, otherwise the driver wouldn’t have left unharmed.
The police took the cushion back, examined its material, and tried to find out who manufactured it.
Then, the police arrived at Haven’s house and discovered a pinhole camera at her doorstep.
It was hidden inside the light at the entrance. Placing it in this position undoubtedly meant to monitor the movements of the two individuals.
They also found several footprints around the house. The residents on this floor were all females, so these large footprints were clearly left by a man.
It seemed that the other party had people monitoring their every move.
The police frowned. They didn’t expect the other party to act so quickly and with such meticulous methods and thoughts. It was not something an ordinary person could do.
The only thing that could be determined now was that the car accident was intentionally caused by the other party, and their animosity towards Jane was so great.
Thinking of this, the police immediately thought of a criminal gang. Only a criminal gang of this scale would plan so thoroughly.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to conceal the abduction case for so many years.
And even now, the leads were cut off, and there was nothing to investigate.
After all, in these past few days, Jane had provided them with too many clues. While busy with the investigation, she had also forgotten to hide her identity.
Perhaps it was because of this that she was targeted by the criminal gang.
The police couldn’t help but feel nervous. The other party had malicious motives and displayed great skill. Investigating them was like walking through a thorny bush.
They investigated the truck’s license plate number from the surveillance footage, but the other party had thought of this step too. Even the license plate on the truck was temporarily forged.
In this way, all leads were completely cut off, and there was nothing to investigate.
They informed Patrick about this news, and upon hearing it, Patrick couldn’t help but shudder.
He didn’t expect the other party’s methods to be so sophisticated. Jane had been busy with the investigation these days and hadn’t paid proper attention to her surroundings, which allowed these people to take advantage of the situation.
He regretted it. He shouldn’t have let Jane work so hard these days.
As a result, he had to be even more careful about the people and environment around Jane. Patrick opened his phone and called several bodyguards to provide personal protection around Jane.
Jane’s current condition couldn’t withstand any more torment.
Patrick let out a deep sigh, looking at Jane who was still unconscious, lost in thought.
He leaned over Jane’s bed, and unknowingly, the sky outside the window had gradually darkened.
Perhaps due to exhaustion, Patrick ended up falling asleep by Jane’s bedside without realizing it.
In the middle of the night, Jane seemed to have a dream.
She dreamt of the scene of the car accident, with the man in front of her smiling wickedly, wearing a watch on his right hand.
The next moment, the man approached her with a knife, and it seemed like he was about to stab her eyes-
“Ah!”
At that moment, Jane suddenly woke up, looking around at the pitch-black darkness, with large beads of sweat falling down her forehead, one by one.
“Jane.”
Patrick was awakened by Jane, opening his drowsy and sleepy eyes. When he saw Jane awake, all drowsiness vanished instantly.
“Wuwu…”
Seeing Patrick, Jane immediately buried herself in his embrace. “I dreamt… I dreamt that someone was holding a knife, about to stab me.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay, don’t be afraid.”
Patrick’s gentle voice came from beside her, constantly soothing Jane’s emotions.
The normally strong and steady Jane appeared like a child in front of Patrick.
After Jane calmed down, she recalled the dream she just had. It felt so real.
Real enough to make her believe it had actually happened.
She tried hard to remember. Before she lost consciousness that day, the man seemed to truly be wearing a watch on his right hand.
Jane suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Patrick. “I think I know.”
“What?”
Patrick was taken aback, and Jane swallowed her saliva. She remembered the last blurry image she had in her fading consciousness.
“That man was wearing a watch on his right hand. Most people wear watches on the hand they don’t frequently use, indicating that he’s left-handed…”
Jane’s voice grew softer as she spoke, and finally, she suddenly remembered, “I remember, Jaiden is also left-handed.”
Speaking of Jaiden, Patrick narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then, in the middle of the night, the two of them went to the police station. Jane told the police the last few details she remembered before losing consciousness.
“Jaiden,” the word slowly slipped out of the police officer’s mouth. “He was released on bail some time ago.”
Patrick and Jane exchanged glances. It seemed highly likely that it was Jaiden, as this was more than just a guess.
“Thank you for providing us with this lead. We will investigate,” the police officer nodded and proceeded to check Jaiden’s recent activities on the computer.
Because he had been released on bail, the police were concerned about any potential wrongful actions he might take, so they had been monitoring him.
However, it was late at night now, and the officers who were investigating Jaiden had already gone home. For the time being, they couldn’t determine his current whereabouts.
Seeing that Jane was still injured, the police asked the two of them to go back and rest. They couldn’t get any more information at the moment, so they had no choice but to let them rest.
Patrick felt sorry for Jane’s current state and reluctantly agreed, taking Jane back to the hospital.
