Chapter 92
The scarlet fire lit up the night sky, and the window exploded with a crisp sound. Thick black smoke soared into the sky.
Aside from the pungent smell of disinfectant, there was also a strong smell of smoke coming from Jacaster Hospital
People were running around. There were crying, shouting, and coughing sounds mixed
The medical staff maintained the order and ran towards the staircase with the crowd.
The stairwell, which used to be emply, now became very crowded.
The inpatient department had a total of 17 floors. The fire started on the fifteenth, fourteenth, and thirteenth floors simultaneously. Douglas lived on the thirteenth floor. Thus, he was affected.
At that moment, the power supply of the whole building was cut off, and the spare electric generator was broken.
The building instantly fell into darkness, and the blazing fire was like a giant beast baring its teeth and claws in the night sky as if it was about to devour everything
The people in the stairwell began to panic and there was a stampede.
Shrill cries could be heard continuously.
Douglas was initially held by t
the policemen as they went down the stairs. Little did he expect the light in the stairwell to be gone.
He felt a sharp pain all over his body. When he was about to speak, his mouth was covered, and his body was quickly lifted down.
Soon, he was taken out of the back door.
A van with tinted windows was parked there. Douglas was stuffed into the car before he could see the men who took him out
The two men took off their night vision goggles, got in the car, started it, and drove away quickly
“Douglas!”
Lorelai hugged Douglas “My pour Douglas, why are you beaten like this?”
Only then did Douglas know that it was his
s mother who saved him
He pushed her away, angry “Mom, did you set the fire?
Lorelai nodded. “The two people who saved you. They were the ones who set it
Douglas glanced at the two men sitting in the driver’s seat and the passenger’s seat. He asked. “Where are the two policemen who escosted me?
The man in the passenger seat turned his head and made a gesture at his neck. “Gone”
Douglas was speechless.
kam if we miss it
Lorelai said, “After discussion, your Dad and I have agreed that tonight is the best time to save you, I’ll be difficult to save you again if
Douglas frowned. “It’ll be a major criminal case it the fire is serious tonight. Moreover, the two police then are attacked. You all will be sentenced to death il you get caught! And if I’m caught, I’ll be considered a fugitive, which will be an added offensef You’re doing no help at all! i have something to exchange

with Vincent and he has already agreed to drop the charge against me. Now that things have gone wrong, we’re doomedi”
Lorelai was stunned. “I… did I do something wrong?”
“Something wrong?” Douglas gritted his teeth and said word by word. “It’s absolutely dumb! Where’s Dad?”
“He’s waiting for us at the dock.”
He seemed helpless as he leaned against the back of the chair. “Forget it. It’s already happened. We’re walking into a trap if we go back again. Now we can only pray that we won’t get caught.”
Lorelai was feeling regretful as well. Who would have thought that you’d have something to exchange with Vincent? I wouldn’t have taken the risk ift had known it earlier!”
Douglas pressed his lips together and said, “It’s too late to say anything now.”
The van took a small road to avoid the surveillance cameras.
A big truck crashed against them when they passed by the junction.
The van was knocked over, and the four people inside were injured to varying degrees
Enduring the sharp pain in his body, Douglas checked on Lorelai to find that she was already unconscious, with blood flowing out of her head.
The two men in the driver’s seat groaned painfully. Their legs were stuck and unable to move.
Douglas climbed out of the window and tried to pull Lorelai out
out of the truck and walked towards him…….
At that moment, two well covered men got out o
Douglas reckoned that they had ill intentions. “What, what do you want to do?” he asked.
“You can live if you come with us!”
Douglas realized that they did not want to end his life “Save my Mom, and I’ll go with you!
One of the men burst into laughter. “Are you negotiating with us? Then go to hell!”
“
Seeing the man pointing the pistol at him, Douglas panicked. “Wait, I’ll go with you, but can you carry my Mom to the roadside?”
“No! She must die! We’ll take your corpse and give you a new identity. Dead or alive, you choose!”
Douglas gritted his teeth. “Take me away!
The hospital was surrounded by a large number of fire trucks when Vincent and Stephanie arrived. The firefighters used a ladder to put out the firs Explosions could be heard from the seriously burned place from time to time.
The chief of the police station called and said that the two policemen who were guarding Douglas were killed. Their throats were cut, and they did of

Vincent nodded. “Now we can only control the sea, land, and air military operations in case Douglas escapes”
Zane called half an hour later and said that he found Raphael at the dock. The latter had been taken back to the police station.
At the same time, someone reported a blown–up of a van on the small road towards the dock.
There were four people in the car, but none of them survived.
One of the women’s half–body was blown up. It was suspected that when she was about to climb out of the window, the car exploded and split her body into two pieces. The three people in the car had been charred.
The woman who was split in half was Douglas‘ mother, Lorelai.
Therefore, the whole case was clear even if Raphael kept silent.
Lorelai hired someone to set a fire in the hospital and killed the police to save Douglas
A car accident happened on the road to the dock. There were traces of truck wheels on the dirt road at the accident scone. It was obvious that the van collided with the truck, and the truck escaped
Vincent and Stephanie came to the interrogation room of the police station
When Raphael saw the two people, he stood up with his eyes red. “The two of them won’t die if you didn’t sue Douglas! You’re his uncle. Why can’t you let him go?”
Stephanie sneered. “Didn’t Douglas put some contradicting medicine into Vincent’s food? He had sent people to assassinate Vincent over and over again, and he also tested multiple times whether Vincent was disabled or not. Besides, wasn’t. Douglas arrested this time because he kidnapped Julianna to threaten me in the first place? Why do you blame others for his mistakes?”
Raphael glared at the two, but he could not refute them.
It was only then that Vincent spoke, “He who is unjust is doomed to destruction Douglas ending today has something to do with you and Lorelai’s inappropriate guidance You’ve sent people to assassinate me five times, let alone the countless troubles you’ve caused I have evidence for all of them.

people were injured because of the fire you and Lorelai had set. The number it can save you!”
Hearing this, Raphael fell on the chair and buried his face in his hands
He felt regretful, not because so many people were killed or injured, but because he knew that he would be sentenced to death.
The fire in the hospital was put out, and the power system was restored
Vincent checked the surveillance cameras and found that Raphael and Lorelai were not far away from the ward before the incident. They about something
were talking
During the incident, two men were seen sneaking around on the three floors where the fire happened. They went into the storage room on each font Smoke rose from the storage room when they came out

Raphael had withdrawn 100 thousand dollars the day before yesterday.
From the investigation of Raphael’s recent whereabouts, he was found asking his assistant to send money to a man

According to the death toll in the van, the police suspected that the other three charred corpses belonged to Douglas and the other two arsonists.
Unfortunately, the three charred corpses were too charred to test the DNA. As such, the identity of the dead could only be assumed, except for Lorelai
According to the judgment of the accident scene, the escaping car was a truck. However, there were no surveillance cameras on the road where the accident happened, and many trucks would pass through this road, so it was very difficult to investigate..
The police sent people to investigate right after the incident.
Vincent looked at Stephanie, who had been sitting in front of the dressing table. Seeing that she was lost in thought, he asked, “What’s wrong, Stephie?
She looked up and held his hand. “I just feel that the death of the four people seemed too intentional. It’s as though they deliberately let us see half of Lorelai’s body and make us assume that one of the three dead people is Douglas. Is that really Douglas, though?”
