Chapter 46: Horses familiar with the old way
Enoch's escape from death is a blessing for the father and son Lani. However, the matter could not be stabilized again, it made the police interested and decided to investigate. Obviously, this is a serious case. Definitely find the killer. Lani had to try to stay calm and come up with a perfect lie to report to the police. Lani was aware that if she told anything unfavorable to Enoch as well as herself, it would cause trouble for the father and son, and worse, be punished by the law. Lani is concerned that From this, it is possible that the police will delve into the investigation, and sooner or later the story about Vera may be revealed? Lani does not want to involve herself in the criminal justice circle just for the crime of selling Vera to delinquents. So Lani insisted on lying, saying she didn't know anything. When the incident happened, she was sleeping in her bedroom. Lani was listening to music while sleeping, so she did not hear any noise downstairs. Lani insisted that Enoch be the one to give the police answers. As for what Enoch would say, Lani, didn't need to know, Lani believed his father could handle it. In part, because Lani was right about her alibi, the police temporarily let her go. They waited for Enoch to wake up and then took his testimony. Currently, Enoch is still unconscious for five years, and it is unknown when he will wake up.
After a few hours of being unconscious, Enoch also opened his eyes, seeing that he was still alive, he was so moved that he burst into tears.
Lani had just entered the room, briefly panicked when she saw her father crying, afraid that he would provoke him and lead to his bad health, Lani gently asked:
"Daddy, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"Oh, Lani." Enoch whispered, "I thought I'd never see you again."
"Dad, don't say that." Lani stepped closer, taking the hand that Enoch was holding towards her.
"It's over, Dad." Lani said: "For now, just rest. Let the police take care of everything. Sooner or later they will be caught, they will have to pay for their wrongdoing. Dad, rest assured. Please!"
Enoch showed a satisfied smile. So his prayer came true. He will not die, he still has the opportunity to continue the unfinished business.
Enoch nodded in agreement with Lani, then he fell silent. Enoch thought about the past as well as the things to come. Suddenly Lani spoke, causing Enoch to turn to look at her:
"What happened at that time, father? Why are they so aggressive?"
Lani decided to get to the bottom of things. Lani was sure there was something serious going on, it had to be a big deal to make things so bad. Unexpectedly, the two sides had a fight, and there was almost a murder. That is really strange. Previously, the two sides had agreed that within ten days the Enoch side would pay the debt. However, before the appointed date, the two creditors lost their patience, even committed a dangerous game, almost killing Enoch.
Recalling that time, Enoch suddenly winced as he felt the sudden pain. Enoch groaned softly, causing Lani to worry:
"Are you okay? I'll call the doctor!" Lani jumped up from her seat and approached Enoch to examine Enoch's condition. Then, seeing that Enoch had not answered, her face was visibly pale, Lani decisively turned and walked out of the room. Unfortunately, before Lani could get out, Enoch's voice called out to her to linger.
"No need, girl." Enoch breathed and said, "I just feel a little pain in my stomach. It's just a small wound, don't worry."
"Small?" Lani cried out, feeling unreasonably angry: "I almost left you because of that little wound. Did you know the doctor told me that the sex wound was very big, very deep? I lost so much blood. , almost ..."
At that point, Lani could not say more, because tears poured out like rain, making Lani choke.
"It's okay, girl." Enoch took a deep breath, only to have words of comfort to Lani: "It's not that I'm still alive. Your father is a great blessing and a great life, he won't die easily."
Lani still couldn't stop crying, she rushed to hug her father. Enoch slowly reached up and stroked Lani's hair.
"I'm really happy to be able to see you again." Enoch tried to calm Lani down: "My daughter is getting more and more beautiful. So stop crying, swollen eyes will look very ugly."
Lani confessed, "You scared me. I'm afraid of losing you. Without you, I don't know how I would live."
"Don't talk stupid. I'll definitely do well with or without a father." Enoch persuaded Lani: "You have to be optimistic, Lani."
"But I want to live with you. So you have to live longer." Lani chirped childishly: "Promise me, father."
"OK." Enoch closed his eyes and promised to have tears, he just wanted to make Lani happy. Honestly, Enoch was well aware that everyone would die eventually, he was not a special person to escape the rules of nature.
"Hold on, girl, don't be hard." Enoch continued to pat Lani.
Tears stopped falling, Lani raised her head, then sat up straight, continuing the unfinished story:
"Father, tell me what happened. Why did they stab me?"
Lani wiped her tears away, staring at Enoch expectantly.
Knowing that Lani could not be avoided or hidden, Enoch decided to finish:
"After I rejected the eleventh home buyer. When the client left the house, they asked me why they wouldn't sell the house. Father and they had an argument. Then they got mad and wanted to force me to sell it to pay the debt. I got into a scuffle with them while trying to stop it. Finally, while pulling the trigger, the half-haired guy stabbed me once. And then you know everything after that."
Enoch adjusted his breathing and continued: "If you hadn't discovered me in time, I would probably have died."
"Dad, don't say that." Lani encouraged Enoch: "Being a father of great numbers and lives. Not to mention God can't take you away from me."
Lani proudly declared without concern or fear that she had committed blasphemy. Who does she think she is to make God obey her will? Lani really doesn't know what it is to be afraid of heaven and earth. Sooner or later Lani will have to suffer retribution.
"It was a blessing indeed." Enoch said: "I'm really grateful that I still have the opportunity to continue to look at my beautiful daughter every day."
Lani smiled, pleased with Enoch's praise. But after a few seconds, her expression suddenly turned serious. There was a big problem plaguing Lani's brain, causing her to worry endlessly. As if sensing her daughter's mood, Enoch inquired:
"What's wrong Lani, you don't look good?"
"There's a problem, Dad," Lani said, watching her father probe for reaction. Enoch was too tired to give a definite response.
"What's wrong, Lani?" Enoch continued with difficulty: "Is it serious, son?"
"The police want to investigate the incident." Lani reported: "They asked me, but I said I didn't know what was going on downstairs. At the time it happened, I was in my room with the door locked, listening to music while I slept. So sure. The police will ask me about everything. They'll be back tomorrow."
"Father knows." Enoch replied, "I will have the right words. Don't worry."
Lani smiled with satisfaction, she felt a little relieved.
"So now you get some rest. Tomorrow you'll have to talk to the police again. Don't be too nervous or stressed, Dad." Lani has reminders and encouragement.
"Father knows."
Then Enoch fell asleep again. It seemed that the tranquilizers had not yet fully worked, so Enoch closed his eyes and fell asleep. That night Lani decided to stay in the hospital with Enoch.
A few days after Enoch was fully awake, the police stopped by to take his statement. When Recounting the situation to the police, as Lani reminded, Enoch made up a story that two strangers broke into the house to steal things. Enoch saw it, so a fight broke out between the two sides. In the end, one of the thieves used a knife to sexually assault Enoch and was seriously injured. Enoch's testimony is completely consistent, without a shadow of a doubt. Not to mention the condition at the scene looked very appropriate for the situation. So the police did not go any further. They received information from Enoch, then said they would do their best to find the two criminals.
The conversation went smoothly, Enoch from beginning to end did not reveal any suspicious signs. It can be said that Enoch had prepared very well before that. So Enoch's acting got past the police. At the end of the testimony, Enoch breathed a sigh of relief because the police wouldn't be overreacting about the incident.
It was all just a drama, the words were pre-recorded, of course, full of lies. What truth must be, but no one spoke up to bring the truth to light. Father and son Enoch insisted on hiding, while the two who caused the situation were missing. The police are currently searching for the two men. What the outcome is is a new story. However, Lani certainly had a plan to deal with it. There was no way Lani would sit idly by until the police caught the perpetrator who stabbed Enoch and then let them accurately report the incident from beginning to end. So Lani decided to take action, Lani turned to people in the world she had a relationship with to rely on. Lani is willing to spend a lot of money to hire people to track down the other two to silence. If there is no money, Lani will use her body to get what she wants. Everything seemed very easy for Lani.
...
News about a loan shark suddenly disappearing was covered by the media. Enoch found out by chance through the television in the hallway of the hospital. Enoch recognized the person in the picture, which was published in the news, as none other than his creditor. Knowing the news, Enoch had no pity for the victim. Instead, Happiness is like overflowing in the most difficult time. Knowing that no one else can collect their debt, Enoch and Lani are overjoyed to be able to return to their normal lives, without worrying about their lives being threatened and their property not being lost.
It's true that the horse is used to the old ways, Enoch will always be Enoch. An evil, sinful man. Now that he was thinking about finding Vera, Enoch had not given up on her dream of taking Vera's property, as well as possessing Vera's virgin body. Enoch is determined to achieve everything, as long as he is healthy and leaves the hospital, he will definitely conduct a search for Vera.
Oh god, it was wrong to give Enoch a chance to live. People like him should have died. But I can't say anything more, that's the way it is. We can only continue to watch, maybe the end for Enoch, in particular, is even worse than the last incident. And for Lani, too, she can't escape atonement for what she's done.
...
Right now, Egan was sitting in his study, leaning back in his big armchair, reading a book comfortably.
An incoming phone call. Egan immediately picked up the phone when the phone rang.
"I heard, what's wrong?" Egan gets straight to the point.
"Did you hear about the news, Egan?" Eric asked over the phone.
"What news?" Egan put the book down on the table, adjusting his posture from relaxed to serious, waiting for Eric to answer his question.
"News about the criminals who kidnapped Vera." Eric calmly continued, "The police are investigating their mysterious disappearance."
Listening to it, Egan understood what Eric was trying to tell him. Egan was sober enough to handle things, he asked:
"Did you handle it carefully? Did you leave any marks?"
"Don't worry, I was very cautious." Eric said: 'The traces were erased before that abandoned house burned down.
"That is okay." Egan ordered: "Do what is necessary so that this matter does not go too deep."
"Clear." Eric accepts the quest.
Then the conversation ends.
