Chapter 141 A man raises a dagger
Upon reaching the window of the intensive care unit, Ning Yao nimbly flipped over and stepped onto the balcony.
In a fleeting glance at the room, I saw a man standing in front of Madam Wen's bedside, a dagger raised high in his hand, about to plunge it into Madam Wen's neck.
Ning Yao didn't have time to think too much. She decisively opened the window and jumped in. She grabbed a vase from the windowsill and threw it at the man's arm. The vase flew out and hit the man hard. He groaned in pain, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.
A thick blanket was laid on the floor of the intensive care unit. The vase was not broken, but rolled down next to the sofa leg.
Before the man could react, Ning Yao rushed forward and grabbed him, twisting his arm behind his back and giving him a backhand elbow strike. The force of Ning Yao bent his back, and he fell to one knee with a thud, unable to move.
By the moonlight, Ning Yao saw the face of the man who had come to the room to harm the old lady, and her eyes widened in shock.
Wen Tingxian? How could it be him? Isn't he the young master of the second branch of the Wen family? Old Madam Wen is his aunt.
Wen Tingxian was also stunned when he saw Ning Yao. How could he have imagined that a woman would climb in through the window in the middle of the night to prevent him from harming the old lady?
Ning Yao's brows furrowed tightly, her heart filled with shock. It seemed that the Wen family had been in turmoil recently, with an internal traitor among them.
"Tell me, who ordered you to murder the old lady?" Ning Yao increased the pressure on her hand. Wen Tingxian's face turned pale with pain, but he didn't say a word and had no intention of telling Ning Yao the truth.
Ning Yao bent down and leaned close to Wen Tingxian, threatening him coldly in his ear, "If you don't talk, I'll have no choice but to call the police."
Wen Tingxian curled his lips into a wicked smile as if he had heard a joke. He turned to look at Ning Yao and replied provocatively, "Do you think the police will believe that I, as your nephew, am trying to murder my own aunt after seeing our attire, or will they believe that you, a criminal who was already a suspect, sneaked into the intensive care unit at night to kill the old lady?"
Ning Yao was taken aback for a moment. Indeed, her outfit made her seem far more suspicious than Wen Tingxian.
At that moment, footsteps came from outside, most likely the bodyguards at the door heard the noise and came in to check.
Wen Tingxian's eyes darted around. Taking advantage of Ning Yao's distraction, he broke free from her control, rushed to Old Madam Wen, reached out and pulled off the oxygen mask from her face, and then began to shout loudly, "Help! Ning Yao is trying to harm Old Madam! Help!"
Wen Tingxian wanted to frame her, and with her outfit, if she were caught red-handed, it would be even harder to explain. Ning Yao glared at Wen Tingxian and then jumped out of the window.
As her body plummeted due to gravity, Ning Yao threw out the gravity suction cup in her hand just before she reached the ground. The suction cup hooked onto the wall, while the other end was attached to her body, reducing most of the impact. Finally, she performed a side somersault and landed steadily.
Falling straight down from the fifth floor would either kill him or leave him paralyzed. Wen Tingxian pushed open the balcony door and looked down from above, originally wanting to see how badly Ning Yao had fallen, but he only saw a tall and slender figure disappear around the corner.
Wen Tingxian slammed his hand on the railing at the edge of the balcony, his face turning pale with anger.
The ward door opened in response, and Grandpa Wen and Hu Mingyu entered the intensive care unit one after the other, with the bodyguards following behind.
When Hu Mingyu saw that the oxygen mask on Madam Wen's face had been removed, he quickly stepped forward to put it back on her and checked her condition. He was relieved to find that she was alright.
After Hu Mingyu finished everything, he nodded to Grandpa Wen, who finally felt relieved. Seeing Wen Tingxian standing on the balcony with his back to them, he asked suspiciously, "Tingxian, what did you just shout? Ning Yao is trying to harm your aunt?"
“I just saw a woman dressed in black sneak in through the window. She originally intended to kill my aunt with a dagger, but after I saw her, she hurriedly pulled off my aunt's oxygen mask and jumped out the window and ran away. I'm sure it's Ning Yao; I saw her face!”
Wen Tingxian turned around with a serious expression, insisting that Ning Yao had sneaked into the hospital ward and was going to kill Old Madam Wen.
Upon hearing this, Hu Mingyu's expression turned grim, and he immediately said to Old Master Wen, "Old Master, I'll send someone to search outside."
"Alright, go ahead." Old Master Wen waved his hand, but stayed in the ward himself.
He picked up the dagger from the ground. The dagger lay on the carpet, still clean, without a trace of blood.
Grandpa Wen took the dagger and walked to the balcony. He carefully examined the marks on the balcony and found that there were almost no footprints. However, the vase that was originally placed on the windowsill had rolled to the corner of the sofa in the room.
The room floor was flat, with no slope, and the distance didn't seem like the vase had fallen and rolled there on its own.
After the inspection, Old Master Wen had a clear understanding of the situation. He arranged for the dagger and vase to be safely stored away to prevent the destruction of evidence.
"Uncle, you must believe what I'm saying, otherwise Aunt will be killed by that woman Ning Yao sooner or later!"
"Don't worry, your uncle knows what he's doing. Tingxian, it's getting late, you don't need to stay in the ward anymore, go back and rest."
"It's alright, I'm not tired. I'll stay here with Uncle and Aunt." Wen Tingxian said with concern, appearing as a dutiful younger generation. "My brother is out of the country because of an accident. You two need a young person by your side. Give me all the errands."
“I’d like to spend some time alone with your aunt. I appreciate your kindness, but Mingyu is here, and there are bodyguards too, so there’s no need for me to run errands.” Old Master Wen’s voice sounded kind and gentle, but his words were extremely authoritative.
"Alright, I'll head back now. Aunt, if you need anything, just call me anytime. I'm always available."
Before leaving, Wen Tingxian instructed his bodyguards in a sinister voice, "You all keep your eyes wide open and don't let that woman have any more opportunities to harm my aunt, do you hear me!"
The bodyguards responded in unison and watched Wen Tingxian leave the ward.
Wen Tingxian stood at the tightly closed gate for a while, then gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.
His dagger is now in Old Master Wen's hands, and he can't get it back. He doesn't know if there will be any problems.
That old man is very shrewd; unless he's caught red-handed, he won't be so easily fooled.
After Wen Tingxian left the ward, Old Master Wen's face immediately turned cold, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The bodyguards he hired were extremely respectful to Wen Tingxian, the second young master.
"Please change Madam's oxygen mask," Old Master Wen instructed. The medical staff agreed and went to do so. Hu Mingyu and several bodyguards searched the area around the hospital but found nothing. He also went to the hospital's surveillance room, where the footage showed that everything had been calm and there were no outsiders present during that time.
After finding out the truth, Hu Mingyu quickly returned to the ward and informed Grandpa Wen of the news.
Grandpa Wen nodded, then arranged for Hu Mingyu to rest, while he himself remained alone in the ward, lost in thought for a long time.
Then he called in a bodyguard and solemnly instructed, "Take the dagger, oxygen mask, and vase to the police station and have Director Wang's men examine the fingerprints on them. Tell them to inform me immediately of any clues they find."
"Yes!" The bodyguard took the bag containing the evidence with both hands, straightened his back instantly, and replied in a low voice.
