Dominic felt incredibly awkward and asked timidly, "Luis, are you alright?!"
"Nothing’s wrong for now, and the EKG has been done."
Even though he himself was the actual culprit, and David was indeed the victim, Luis could act even more innocent than that bastard.
Wearing a deeply troubled expression, he looked at Dominic and said, "President, what happened to your son? Why did he suddenly lose his mind like that?"
Dominic replied awkwardly, "The doctor’s assessnt is that he experienced hallucinations."
Just then, a police car pulled up. An officer who appeared efficient and decisive stepped out holding a file, greeting him, "Secretary Hail."
"What were the investigation results?"
The officer nodded, picked up a docunt, and said, "This is the surveillance footage from the banquet venue. We have already obtained the original footage."
"The scene shows that this gentleman did leave his seat briefly, but he did not leave the VIP area. He only went to the nearby table 19 to participate in the auction. At that ti, the person involved and that woman were still at table 4."
Everyone glanced at it but didn’t pay much attention. They mostly rembered this detail, because at that mont everyone was focused on the overt and covert rivalry between the Taiga and Leon families.
Indeed, David was still there at the ti, and afterwards many people saw him sneak away.
"Later surveillance footage shows that this gentleman not only didn’t leave the VIP area, he didn’t even move from his seat, especially during the alleged ti of the cri."
The officer also looked at Dominic with a peculiar expression and said, "At that ti, he was even conversing with President Ben and President Ye. You gentlen should recall that."
Luis said, both amused and helpless, "Looking at it this way, I seem quite the innocent party."
Hail said with a gentle smile, "President Ben, you should rember this, right? Since a report was filed, of course we must conduct a rigorous investigation."
Dominic said awkwardly, "Secretary Hail, I’m not that old. Even without watching the surveillance, I clearly rember that Young Luis was sitting there the entire ti."
The officer also revealed a knowing smile, stating, "We checked the caras in the lounge corridor as well. There is no record of him walking through there, let alone the claim that he went in naked and, well, went in to commit rape."
Presumably because it was so absurd, he himself was struggling to hold back laughter, but professional ethics required him not to.
Hail nodded and said, "The original surveillance footage will be provided to the City Chamber of Comrce, to President Ben, and to ."
"Understood."
The officer continued his report, holding up a docunt, "As for the pills found on the person involved, only the fingerprints of the person involved himself were lifted from them."
"Testing revealed it to be an advanced foreign drug, with effects similar to ketamine but taken orally. Long-term use can damage brain nerves and lead to hallucinations."
After saying this, he looked aningfully at Dominic and said, "This point, I believe President Ben will understand after speaking with the doctor."
"Yes!!"
Dominic spoke through gritted teeth.
The officer continued, "That female party involved has been urine tested. She did not ingest these substances."
"According to your son’s account, she was raped. We had a female colleague examine her and found no signs of external injury. However, there were signs of sexual intercourse."
"As this may involve criminal offenses, we also conducted DNA trace examination and comparison. There was no bodily tissue left by Mr. Luis on the woman’s body."
"For thoroughness, after checking room number one, no discoveries were made there either. No fingerprints of this gentleman were found at the scene or on the doorknob."
"We also questioned her. She said that when things were getting intimate, the person involved suddenly had a very strong reaction, laughing strangely and cursing, inexplicably even hitting her, which scared her into running to the dressing room to hide."
"Then the person involved was alone inside, shouting and yelling. She only dared to co out after the noise outside stopped."
The officer stated, "According to the tiline, that would be when your son rushed out and attacked people with a knife."
Hearing this, everyone understood, though it wasn’t particularly surprising, mainly because David’s story had been too bizarre.
Luis had been sitting there the whole ti without moving, yet he claid soone ran over naked, beat him up, and even raped his girlfriend—it was enough to make one’s cerebellum shrivel.
This was what everyone had witnessed firsthand. Even if people nearby giving statents hadn’t been paying attention, they hadn’t seen Luis leave.
Those who had been watching closely also confird that Luis had been sitting there the entire ti.
Most importantly, there were dedicated hostesses at door number one. Staff went in and out dozens of tis just to replenish food, drinks, and beverages, not to ntion the constant movent of drinks being brought in and out.
It was impossible for dozens of people to be completely blind. Even if you were fully dressed and moving about, they would have noticed, let alone if you were naked.
Moreover, if there really had been a naked man running around, the won would have scread. There was no way there wouldn’t have been a single trace.
The situation was so strange that they could never have imagined it was the effect of a miraculous System tool, an existence that defied heaven itself and could not be comprehended with normal logic.
"Based on our judgnt, it was a hallucination induced by the drug, accompanied by manic agitation."
No one was surprised by this explanation, as it was the only one that made sense, and David’s behavior had indeed been abnormal.
The officer nodded and said, "President Ben, if your son’s condition improves, we hope he will cooperate with our investigation."
"Young Master David’s current condition is likely unsuitable. Please co back another day."
"Very well, we’ll take our leave then, Secretary Hail."
After the police car departed, the color had drained from Dominic’s face. He smiled a pale, bitter smile, at a loss for words.
He wasn’t the least bit surprised by this outco, because he himself didn’t believe the insane things his son had said, and the police officers couldn’t possibly be lying to him.
What was supposed to be a splendid banquet ended in such a disgraceful manner; face had been utterly lost.
Beyond the humiliation, he was even more worried that his son had inexplicably tried to kill Luis with a knife. Even though he failed, and the young master before him remained unhard.
Would Luis hold a grudge? And if he didn’t, how should he explain things to Hail and Waller?
"Drugs ruin people."
Hail did not bla him. Instead, he patted Dominic on the shoulder and said, "President Ben, first, pull yourself together and take good care of your son. The priority now is to minimize the impact of this incident."
"Yes, my apologies, Secretary Hail. It is my failure in raising my son."
His son took drugs and inexplicably tried to kill soone; for that reason alone, he felt like strangling that little bastard with his own hands.
The Chamber of Comrce mbers also left, each expressing their intention to handle the matter properly and reduce the damaging effects of this incident as much as possible.
This was supposed to be a charity gala held by Tiger Real Estate for its tenth anniversary, ant to showcase their prominence. Instead, it turned into a joke, and undoubtedly many were privately furious about it.
Those above would certainly have opinions, questioning Dominic’s competence and the conduct of his family.
