SWNOVELS Chapter 492 Trapped!
Everything suddenly dawned on Linda Xia. She had fallen into a trap that was obviously set up by Rosy Nalan. How did she fail to see through her trickery? It was Rosy Nalan who had persuaded her to come here. It was a premeditated plan all along. But now, Linda Xia had no time to care about Rosy Nalan who was screaming loudly beside her. Her grandfather's life mattered most at this crucial moment. She needed to save him and get him to the hospital as quickly as possible. "Someone arrest her! Hurry! She pushed my grandfather into the pond." Rosy Nalan called several security staff and servants to the edge of the pond.
In front of them stood the eldest daughter of the Nalan clan. Staring at each other with hesitation, they didn't dare take any actions against her.
Besides, Linda Xia's belly looked so bulged. Obviously, she was expecting. If something would happen to her, they would all bear the consequences.
They also knew that Lord Nalan doted on Linda Xia and her unborn babies, which made them reluctant to arrest her.
"What are you looking at? Arrest her. Quickly! I will take responsibility for all the consequences."
Having heard Rosy Nalan's guarantee, the security staff became brave enough to arrest Linda. At that time, Bun had just dragged Lord Nalan ashore. However, when Bun touched his head, she found that him bleeding. Then, Bun noticed that Linda had been surrounded by several security staff. She gently laid down His Lordship and strode forward to protect Linda Xia. Bun shouted at them with anger, "Who dares to arrest Lady Linda?"
As expected, some of the staff who were bold enough moved forward to capture Bun and Linda Xia by force. They hadn't heard about Bun, so they thought that she was just a witless, young girl. However, to their surprise, they were kicked away by Bun instantly. Seeing that their companions had been defeated by Bun, the other security staff surrounding Linda Xia and Bun dared not come any closer. They were all afraid of being hit.
It seemed that Linda Xia didn't care about the security staff getting injured. Her main priority was her grandfather, so she turned to Bun and asked anxiously, "How is my grandfather?"
Bun shook her head with sorrow, "The situation is not so good. His Lordship passed out when he was submerged in the pond. And his head had probably hit the marble by the edge of the pond. His head is bleeding."
At that same time, Jessie Luo also arrived at the scene with a pretentious, worried look on her face. When she saw Rosy Nalan crying by the edge of the pond, she asked all of them out loud, "What's happening?" "That woman! Linda Xia pushed my grandfather into the pond, "Rosy Nalan immediately replied with a shout.
Jessie Luo, then, commanded the servants right away after hearing Rosy's response, "What are you all standing there for? Go and inform Lord Felix and Lord Lenny! Oh my... Be quick! Call the police as well. His Lordship is in danger." Jessie wanted to have everyone know that Linda Xia had pushed Lord Nalan into the pond. If all of the family members gathered beside the pond, Linda Xia would find it difficult for her to explain to the other members that she was innocent.
But, how could she push her own grandfather into the pond? Of all the members in the Nalan clan, he loved her the most.
As Rosy Nalan wept, she kept shaking Lord Nalan's shoulder.
Just now, Jessie Luo passed her a bottle of eyedrops discreetly. In the entertainment industry, eyedrops were widely used when celebrities could not cry on cue during movie shootings. It was an instant prop for tears. After using it, tears could fall down across one's face like raindrops.
Rosy poured some eye drops into her hands secretly. When she would pretend to sob, she would rub her eyes with her hands on purpose, so the tears would be on her face as if they were really from her eyes.
However, Linda saw through their tricks. Linda Xia just thought that it was quite funny. Perhaps, Rosy was born to be an actress.
Linda Xia still stood where she was without moving an inch. With Bun's protection, the security staff could no longer go to her and take Linda Xia by force.
After a while, Lenny Nalan, Felix Nalan, Murphy Nalan, and Devin Nalan all came in a hurry.
What they saw really shocked them. Lord Nalan was still lying on the ground, with a puddle of blood around him.
Rosy Nalan held her grandfather, crying aloud.
"What happened? Rosy?"
Lenny Nalan urgently asked.
"Father! Father, it was Linda Xia. I saw her push Grandfather into the pond with my own eyes, " Rosy Nalan answered, pointing to Linda Xia.
"How can it be Lady Linda's fault? When we came here, His Lordship was already in the water. He was pushed into the pond by a servant."
Bun was frustrated with the charge that was cast against Linda Xia. Therefore, she eagerly explained for Linda without any hesitation. But Linda Xia stopped her by pulling her hand.
Unaware of how long Rosy had devised this plan, Linda knew that she was being made the scapegoat, so she didn't need to explain herself for the time being. More words might lead to bad results, and it would be useless since everyone was against her. She looked at Rosy with coldness, saying, "Can Grandfather be saved by your shaking? His head is injured. Can't you see that? There is a lot of blood on the ground. How strange you are... You called for the police instead of an ambulance when Grandfather's health is the one at stake!."
Only when she heard Linda Xia's words did Rosy realize that she had probably overreacted. It slipped Rosy's mind that she had asked Jessie Luo to call the police instead of an ambulance. However, judging at how things stood, Rosy Nalan had no choice but to see through her actions. Rosy pretended to hear nothing and cried in a more sorrowful manner, "Grandfather, are you okay? Wake up! Grandfather... Are you all right? What should I do if something bad happens to you?"
Looking at Rosy's bogus sorrow, Linda Xia felt quite disgusted. Now, she was able to confirm that Rosy Nalan had devised this plan for a very long time. But what made her feel most depressed was that Rosy Nalan was gambling on their grandfather's life. Although Lord Nalan treated Rosy Nalan with a tepid attitude, he still had fulfilled his duty as a grandfather to her.
What a heartless girl Rosy Nalan was! She could even think of something as horrible as to murder her own grandfather!
It suddenly dawned on Linda Xia that Rosy had never thought of saving him. His death was her final goal from the very beginning.
If Lord Nalan was to die, Rosy Nalan would have a chance of having the Nalan clan's properties. They would never allow Linda Xia to have a piece of the pie.
For Rosy Nalan, Linda Xia was the hardest obstacle to overcome.
"What are you all standing there and watching for? Call an ambulance now!" Rosy Nalan vented her anger on the servants. Although the servants were scolded for no reason, they didn't dare retort Lady Rosy. So, they called an ambulance from the Nalan clan's private hospital which could send Lord Nalan to the hospital in time.
The Nalan clan had its own private hospital, so they would come to Lord Nalan's rescue immediately.
The ambulance arrived in less than ten minutes. Several servants helped the nurses lift Lord Nalan on the stretcher. Seeing the ambulance disappear in the distance, Linda Xia breathed a sigh of relief. All she hoped was for her grandfather to recover. But he was already unconscious when he was lifted on the stretcher.
The wound on his head was very serious. Obviously, he was in danger of losing his life. Linda was worried sick about her dear grandfather.
Now that Lord Nalan was sent to the hospital, the rest of them now needed to find the mastermind of this "accident", so they all gathered in the hall.
Both Rosy Nalan and Jessie Luo held on to their story that it was Linda Xia who pushed Lord Nalan into the pond when she was playing Go chess with him. Linda Xia didn't say anything but rolled her eyes at them. She didn't have any motives to push her grandfather into the pond. He loved her so much. What benefit would she get if she really was the one who had tried to kill him? It seemed as if only Rosy Nalan would benefit a lot from Lord Nalan's death.
