Chapter 520 Emergence
In the hospital, Atticus was seriously injured and unable to move. When the explosion happened, his leg was injured, and combined with the jump from the car, he almost lost that leg. The shattered glass also caused multiple cuts on his body.
Seeing Atticus, completely bandaged, Ophelia could hardly imagine what Finnegan might look like or how severely he was injured.
"Mrs. Abbott." Atticus spoke with great difficulty. Even saying a single word was a huge effort for him.
"Where is Finnegan, Atticus? Where is Finnegan? Did he jump out of the car?" Ophelia asked urgently, almost crying. "You went out together. Where is he?"
Atticus struggled to say, "I don't know. Mr. Abbott asked me to jump out of the car at that time, so I did. I don't know if Mr. Abbott jumped out. After the car exploded, I didn't know anything."
Atticus was knocked unconscious by the explosion at that time. Even now, thinking about the situation back then still gives him chills.
The situation was so dire it was as if they had narrowly escaped death.
"Why did the car explode?" Ophelia asked urgently. "The car was fine. How could it explode? Why was Finnegan driving the car?" Ophelia was too eager to know about the situation at that time.
Before Ophelia arrived, the police had also questioned Atticus.
Initially, Atticus thought it was just an accident when the tire burst, but upon careful consideration, it was no accident.
Atticus explained in detail, "Deacon set a trap to harm Mr. Abbott. Some goods were being brought in from outside, and Mr. Abbott and I went to the dock to ensure everything was going smoothly. After Deacon was caught, we returned from the dock. When the car was on a mountain road section, the tire burst. Later, a bullet pierced through the front windshield, the car went out of control, leaked oil, and Mr. Abbott told me to jump out."
Bullets, bursting tires, leaking oil from the car...All of this indicated that someone wanted to harm Finnegan.
'Deacon has been caught, so who is behind the attempt on Finnegan now? Deacon's accomplice?' she thought.
"Why? Why did Deacon want to harm Finnegan?"
"Deacon said Mr. Abbott killed his parents ten years ago."
Ophelia firmly refused to believe that Finnegan had done such a thing.
Deacon was also in the same hospital. His injuries were less severe than Atticus's. He had regained consciousness after surgery last night and was now under police custody.
After seeing Atticus, Ophelia went directly to the room where Deacon was staying and coincidentally encountered Mario interrogating Deacon.
Deacon kept his eyes closed and remained silent. He didn't say anything about the person who shot him, nor did he mention the contraband on the cargo ship.
Mario lost his temper. "Deacon, don't think that by not admitting it, we can't do anything to you. Someone wants to silence you. If you don't cooperate and confess, you're digging your own grave."
Deacon still kept his eyes closed and his mouth shut tightly.
Mario, frustrated, tugged at his hair, hands on his hips, and asked, "Do you have any connection to the explosion of Finnegan's car, or do you know who did it?"
Upon hearing about Finnegan's car explosion, Deacon opened his eyes. "What happened to Finnegan?"
Mario said, "After you were caught, Finnegan's car exploded on a mountain road. According to eyewitnesses, someone was secretly shooting. After Finnegan dodged a bullet, the car leaked oil and exploded, falling off a cliff. Finnegan hasn't been found yet. Deacon, I hope you cooperate with the police investigation. It will benefit you, to be honest."
Upon hearing the news of Finnegan's accident, Deacon was shocked and puzzled. Soon, he guessed. 'Could it be that person? But why would that person target Finnegan? That person tried to kill me as a punishment in order to get rid of me completely. Why would he target Finnegan?' he thought. Deacon was also puzzled and couldn't figure it out.
Seeing Deacon's expression, Mario knew things were not simple. He said sternly, "Deacon, you know what happened that night."
Deacon remained stubborn. "I don't know. I don't even know who Finnegan is. I've just heard of him. He's the CEO of a listed company."
"You're lying." Ophelia walked in, her tone emotional. "Deacon, you admitted it yourself. You have a grudge against Finnegan. I've asked Atticus, and you said Finnegan killed your parents, which is impossible. You've been targeting Finnegan all along, wanting to kill him. How dare you say you don't know him? Magnus, Seraphina, Sybilr, their deaths are all related to you. Don't try to argue. Tell me, where is Finnegan?"
