Chapter 145 A Twist of Facts: Bionic Gloves
Wen Tingxian pressed the answer button, then selected speakerphone mode, before raising the phone slightly upwards.
"Second Young Master, the fingerprint identification report is out, but it only shows your own fingerprints, not anyone else's," the male voice on the other end said respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Wen Tingxian's face turned extremely ugly, and he immediately shouted, "How is that possible? Have you investigated thoroughly?"
"Don't miss any corner of my clothes. Where's the collar? Did you check the collar? Ning Yao was holding my collar back then, as well as my back and the back of my arm!"
"A bunch of useless trash! Go and check again carefully. If you don't find anything, you'll be sorry!"
Furious, Wen Tingxian hung up the phone and glared at Ning Yao, only to see her calm and collected, as if she had expected this outcome.
Wen Tingxian couldn't understand it. Ning Yao's hands had no covering marks, no gloves, and no protective layer last night.
She did grab her own clothes, so how could there be no trace left? That's impossible!
Little did he know that Ning Yao was wearing a pair of high-tech gloves. The gloves were as thin as cicada wings and could change color according to the user's skin tone, fitting the palm perfectly. To the naked eye, there was absolutely no difference.
These high-tech gloves are the result of Xiao Wu's research. The gloves are not only invisible, but they also do not leave fingerprints after being touched. In addition, they have a bionic fingerprint function, which can simulate and transform into anyone's fingerprint.
At the time, Xiao Wu was watching a science fiction movie and especially liked the villain in the movie, particularly the human skin gloves that the villain wore that could hide fingerprints. Later, with Ning Yao's help, the function of bionic fingerprints was added.
Leaving fingerprints can raise suspicions, while leaving fingerprints provides greater persuasiveness.
After waiting a while, Wen Tingxian called.
The answer remains the same: there are no Ning Yao fingerprints on Wen Tingxian's clothes.
Wen Tingxian's expression was unpleasant, and he took two steps back, looking wary as if he had seen a ghost.
"You flew off the windowsill and landed perfectly fine, but the surveillance cameras didn't capture anything, and there wasn't a single fingerprint left on anything you touched!"
"Ning Yao, are you a human or a ghost? How could a human do this?"
He pointed at Ning Yao with trembling hands, his voice filled with fear and confusion.
Ning Yao scoffed coldly, then explained, "You said I was going to kill the old lady with a dagger. Did that dagger have my fingerprints on it? Also, you said it was me who tore off the old lady's oxygen mask. Did that oxygen mask have my fingerprints on it?"
"Sir, I have nothing to hide. Please send someone to investigate and clear my name."
Grandpa Wen looked at Ning Yao, his eyes filled with wisdom, but also with some disappointment.
On this point, he and Ning Yao were on the same page. He had already sent the oxygen mask and dagger for testing, and the results had been sent to him long ago; he just hadn't opened them yet.
The person who attempted to murder the old lady last night was either Ning Yao or Wen Tingxian.
For Mr. Wen, these two people had different interests than ordinary people.
One was his nephew, the other was his savior, the woman his son loved, and the biological mother of his grandson.
Old Master Wen wanted to give them a chance, a chance to confess and receive leniency.
Even now, the two are still accusing each other, neither willing to back down and tell the truth.
"I don't know what kind of sorcery you used to erase all the evidence against you without anyone noticing."
"You did this heinous thing yourself, and you still want to frame me? Ning Yao, don't you have any shame?"
"Tell me, why would I want to kill my aunt? She was my family. What motive would I have?"
Wen Tingxian forced himself to calm down, determined not to admit that he wanted to harm his aunt.
My uncle loves my aunt so much. If he knew that he wanted to kill her, he would skin him alive!
Old Master Wen was so annoyed by the two of them arguing back and forth that he slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"Alright, stop arguing. I had someone take those things to be tested last night, and the results are here."
Grandpa Wen took out a medical report and asked Hu Mingyu to open it and read its contents to everyone.
Hu Mingyu quickly glanced at the report, and after finishing, he gave Wen Tingxian a strange look.
"Besides the fingerprints taken from the oxygen mask and dagger, two of the fingerprints were those of the second young master, while there were no fingerprints of the second young master or Miss Ning Yao on the vase."
Upon hearing this, Wen Tingxian's expression suddenly changed. He only remembered to frame Ning Yao, but forgot to hide the evidence of his crime.
"I accidentally bumped into her when I was wrestling with her."
Wen Tingxian's eyes darted around, and his words lacked confidence. Seeing him like this, how could Old Master Wen not understand?
"Guards, take the second young master away and find a way to make him confess everything he needs to!"
As soon as Grandpa Wen spoke, the bodyguards rushed into the room and surrounded Wen Tingxian. Wen Tingxian shouted at the top of his lungs, "Uncle, this woman must have bribed the inspectors. Don't be fooled by her!"
Old Master Wen frowned in displeasure, waved to the bodyguards, who immediately understood, covered Wen Tingxian's mouth, and dragged him out.
The bodyguards led Wen Tingxian into the next room, where interrogation equipment had already been set up. The moment Wen Tingxian saw the torture instruments, he turned pale with fright. He hadn't expected that Old Master Wen would be serious about him.
"Let go! I am the second young master of the Wen family. I'd like to see who dares to touch me today!" Wen Tingxian struggled incessantly, afraid that those things would really be used on him.
The bodyguards didn't take Wen Tingxian's words seriously. Normally, no one would dare to provoke Wen Tingxian.
But now it is Old Master Wen who is giving the orders, and the second branch of the Wen family has gained its current prestige because of Old Master Wen and his family.
Without Old Master Wen, let alone the Second Young Master Wen, they wouldn't even take the Second Young Master Wen and his group seriously.
Wen Tingxian's voice came from the next room, and Old Master Wen and Ning Yao could hear it as well.
Hu Mingyu and Lian Qiran looked at each other in bewilderment. They had almost never seen Old Master Wen get angry, let alone seen him lay a hand on anyone.
It seems the old man truly loves his wife deeply. Wen Tingxian dared to lay a hand on the person the old man cherishes most; he's just asking for trouble.
"Miss Ning Yao, I'm so sorry, my good-for-nothing nephew has caused you to suffer," Old Master Wen said to Ning Yao.
"It's alright. Since it's a misunderstanding, it's fine to just clarify it."
"Furthermore, sir, please allow me to treat the old lady. You have personally experienced my medical skills."
Taking this opportunity, Ning Yao wanted to discuss with the old man again the matter of treating the old lady's illness.
Grandpa Wen glanced at Ning Yao, then shook his head again.
"No need. My medical team has made a breakthrough, and I believe they will be able to revive my wife soon."
Even without evidence that Ning Yao came to the hospital last night, Wen Tingxian's behavior was too abnormal, and there are still many doubts about this matter.
As the saying goes, "If you employ someone, don't doubt them; if you doubt someone, don't employ them." Old Master Wen didn't trust Ning Yao, so naturally he was unwilling to entrust his wife's life to her.
