âMr. Warner, the driver involved in the accident has already given the traffic police his statement. Due to drunk driving, heâs been detainedâ¦â
Bradley angrily asked, âWhere is he?â
Cole had graduated with a masterâs degree abroad and joined the Warner Group six years ago, becoming Bradleyâs special assistant. They had spent the most time together.
Cole was exceptionally capable, and Bradley trusted him with many tasks, knowing that they would be well taken care of. Cole was quick-witted and efficient, not only completing the assigned work excellently but also being well-liked by everyone in the company.
Bradley never expected that the person who was full of energy and vitality yesterday would suddenly disappear today without a trace!
âThe driver involved in the accident is currently with the criminal investigation department.â
Bradleyâs cold gaze fell on the rescue team, searching diligently for Cole on the riverâs surface.
âEach person participating in the rescue will receive $150,000 as compensation, and the person finds Cole will receive an additional $1,500,000!â Bradley took a few steps away, then turned back and instructed his secretary through his gritted teeth, âIf Coleâs alive, I want to see him. If heâs dead, I want to see his body too. Put aside all your current tasks and prioritize Coleâs personal safety.â
who Bradley was filled with anger as he arrived at the criminal investigation unit. The driver involved in the accident immediately knelt before Bradley and repeatedly slapped his own face.
âIâm sorry, Iâm not human! I shouldnât have drunk and driven! Why isnât it me who died?â
The investigators were also worried that Bradley would have a violent confrontation with the driver and cause a disturbance leading to casualties, so they stopped Bradley, who was full of rage.
âMr. Warner, let me explain the case to you.â
They could not afford to handle the case carelessly since it involved a major taxpayer in the city.
Bradley looked deeply at the driverâs face and memorized it in his mind.
âWas it an accident, or was it intentional?â
The investigator said, âWe investigated the driverâs activities before the incident. During the day, he worked as a ride-hailing driver. This morning, his son received an acceptance letter from Chini National University, and he was very happy. They had dinner at the well-known Octahouse in the city, and he had a few drinks to celebrate his sonâs achievement.
âWhen the family was about to return home, he received a call from a friend asking him to cover a shift due to an emergency. At first, he refused, but later, considering that his son needed money for university, he agreed.
âHe might have taken a chance, thinking that there were no traffic police conducting checks for drunk driving during that time period, so he took a risk for the money and ran into what happened next.â
Bradleyâs initial thought was whether it was revenge from a business rival. He furrowed his brow and asked, âDid he or his family receive a large sum of money through a bank transfer?â
The investigator replied, âAccording to our investigation, they didnât receive any large transfers of money.â
The investigator could not help but sigh inwardly. The driverâs sonâs biggest dream was to become a military officer, but now his dream was destined to be shattered. One instance of drunk driving changed his sonâs life forever.
âKeep investigating,â said Bradley.
After leaving the criminal investigation unit, Bradley immediately called the companyâs legal department and asked them to closely monitor the case. He made it clear that the driver involved must pay the appropriate price.
After the call, Bradley looked at the DNA test documents in the car and glanced at Coleâs phone. He reached out and picked up the test results, flipping through their contents.
The names were Q and X.
He turned to the last page, reading the final conclusion-the two individuals were biologically mother and son.
