Chapter 406: Bloody Handprint

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Lin Shanchu and the others arrived at the surveillance room, the staff had already prepared the surveillance footage.

The surveillance showed that Lin Suguang walked out of the crowd after Lin Shanchu left.

He went to the entrance to check if Lin Shanchu had left.

Then, he returned to the cocktail party and left with a waiter.

“Who’s that?” Jiang Weizhu asked after pressing the pause button and leaning closer to the screen.

“Lu Shiyuan.” The waiter in the surveillance camera did not show his face, but Lin Shanchu could recognize Lu Shiyuan just by looking at his figure.

The matter between Lin Shanchu and Lu Shiyuan had previously caused a huge commotion, so Jiang Weizhu was naturally aware of it.

“What’s Lin Suguang doing with Lu Shiyuan?” Jiang Weizhu’s voice trailed off as she spoke.

It was because she already had the answer in her heart.

One was Lu Shiyuan who had hurt Lin Shanchu, whereas the other was Lin Shanchu’s uncle. What else could he do?

T .in Shanchu grimaced- After watching the surveillance footage at the cocktail

party, she looked at the surveillance footage at the hotel entrance.

Standing aside, Huo Xunzhou adjusted the speed and quickly finished watching the surveillance footage. Then, he whispered to Lin Shanchu, “Your uncle hasn’t left the hotel.”

Lin Shanchu muttered, “He’s still in the hotel.”

“I’ll get someone to look for him now.” Jiang Weizhu had already taken out her phone and called her subordinates to look for him.

This hotel was huge and was the Jiang family’s own property, so Jiang Weizhu was familiar with its layout.

After Jiang Weizhu dispatched people to eliminate most of the areas, only the rooftop and the back kitchen, which were rarely visited, were left.

“Let’s go to the rooftop first…”

“I’ll go.”

Huo Xunzhou suddenly interrupted Jiang Weizhu.

Jiang Weizhu looked at Huo Xunzhou in surprise and asked, “Second Young Master Yun, why is your voice hoarse?”

Wasn’t he fine at the cocktail party earlier?

If it were not for the similar figure, she would have suspected that this silent person in front of her was not Yun Jin.

When Huo Xunzhou was an actor, he had strong oratory skills. He could imitate Yun Jin’s speech very well, but he was too lazy to imitate Yun Jin’s sloppy tone, so he pretended that his throat was uncomfortable.

Lin Shanchu understood what Huo Xunzhou was thinking, so she explained to

Jiang Weizhu, “Second Brother went home and had a big fight with Huo

Xunzhou. He shouted too loudly and his voice went hoarse.”

“Oh.” Jiang Weizhu felt that this reason was not very convincing, but on second thought, it sounded reasonable because the person involved was the second young master of the Yun family.

Huo Xunzhou pulled Lin Shanchu aside and whispered to her, “I’ll go to the rooftop. You and Miss Jiang go to the back kitchen. Call me if you need anything.”

Lin Shanchu nodded obediently and replied, “Alright, be careful.”

The two of them spoke in lowered voices. Jiang Weizhu could not hear what they were saying, but she felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little strange.

They were a little too… intimate.

Huo Xunzhou left quickly.

Lin Shanchu followed Jiang Weizhu to the back kitchen.

It was already late at night. Most of the employees in the back kitchen had already gotten off work, leaving only a few chefs on duty.

The kitchen was huge, but the items were arranged in an orderly manner. Everything could be seen at a glance, and there were not many places for people to hide themselves.

Moreover, Lin Suguang would certainly not communicate harmoniously with

Lu Shiyuan if he went to look for him. The commotion would definitely be big. They had already searched the back kitchen, but there were still no signs of the two of them.

At this moment, Lin Shanchu’s phone rang.

She glanced down at the screen and saw that it was a call from Huo Xunzhou. She then cautiously pretended to cover the screen and picked up the call.

“There’s no one on the rooftop.”

“There’s nothing in the back kitchen either.” Lin Shanchu’s heart sank upon hearing his words.

“Don’t worry, I’ll come down now.” Huo Xunzhou comforted her.

Lin Shanchu hung up the phone and shook her head at Jiang Weizhu.

At this moment, the voices of employees could be heard from afar. “We have to go to the cold storage warehouse again tomorrow to take inventory…”

“We’re on the night shift today. We can rest tomorrow. We don’t have to go to the cold storage warehouse.”

“I just went to the cold storage warehouse to get something. The hotel is doing well this quarter. There’s not much left.. ‘

Lin Shanchu followed the voices and looked over.

Noticing her action, Jiang Weizhu immediately said, “I’ll take you there.”

The two of them rushed to the cold storage warehouse and asked the staff to open the large door.

Lin Shanchu walked in and smelled a strong fishy smell.

Jiang Weizhu was also a little unaccustomed to this smell, but still she frowned and walked in with Lin Shanchu.

“Your uncle looks like such a gentle person. I didn’t expect him to be so tormenting.” She could not hide the worry in her tone.

“Yeah.” Lin Shanchu sighed.

If it were not for her, her uncle would have lived a carefree life without such a torment.

“Uncle!” Lin Shanchu called out to Lin Suguang as she strode inside.

Bang!

There was a commotion at the large door.

Next, a staff member shouted, “Someone ran out!”

Lin Shanchu turned around and ran to the door, only to see a bloody handprint on the door.

It had just been printed.

The blood had not coagulated yet.

When Jiang Weizhu followed her and saw this, her expression changed.

“Director Jiang, should we call the police?” the staff asked softly.

“Don’t call the police yet.” Jiang Weizhu glanced at Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu observed the bloody handprint on the door for a moment. Then, she suddenly turned around and ran inside like a madwoman.

“Uncle!”

Just as Jiang Weizhu was about to follow her, she saw Huo Xunzhou walking towards her.

“Second Young Master Yun.”

Jiang Weizhu called out to him and briefly told Huo Xunzhou what had happened.

Huo Xunzhou ran inside after hearing that.

“Shanshan!”

The cold storage warehouse was huge, but fortunately, there were not many goods. Therefore, Huo Xunzhou quickly found Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu was kneeling on the ground in front of Lin Suguang, whose head was covered in blood.

Her hand was in the air, but she dared not check Lin Suguang’s breathing.

Huo Xunzhou quickly walked forward and reached out to check Lin Suguang’s carotid artery.

When he felt Lin Suguangs carotid artery still throbbing, Huo Xunzhou’s furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

He reached out to help Lin Shanchu up. Then, he looked seriously into her eyes and enunciated, “Shanshan, don’t be afraid. Your uncle is going to be fine. Let’s take him to the hospital.”

Lin Shanchu muttered repeatedly, “He’s going to be fine…”

“He’s going to be fine,” Huo Xunzhou said firmly.

“The patient is only in a short coma. The wound on his head has been sutured.

He will wake up soon.”

“Thank you, Doctor.”

Huo Xunzhou thanked the doctor and turned to look at Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu sat by the bed and stared at Lin Suguang without blinking.

“Did you hear what the doctor said?” Huo Xunzhou asked her gently after he saw the doctor off. “He said that your uncle will wake up soon.”

Lin Shanchu nodded.

After a short while, Lin Suguang woke up.

“Uncle!” Lin Shanchu asked hurriedly, “How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?”
