RECURRENT BAD EVENTS



"According to the results of the police investigation at the scene there was a gunshot in the tire of your car. Is that the cause of the accident?"


"Yes." Yeah."


Rei just woke up. Melvin and Ruby were in his room to see Rei's condition. His feet were bandaged because they were injured. Similarly, the forehead on his head is also bumped so it needs to be fitted with a bandage.


"Who's the culprit, Rei?" ask Ruby curiously.


"I don't know. Yesterday night was dark enough to see clearly the culprit's face. Two men tried to attack me. It seems like they have been targeting me from the beginning. They waited for an opportunity when the situation was quiet to launch his attack."


"Why have you done that, Rei, to such a terrible enemy?" Ruby got goosebumps herself hearing Rei's story.


"I just went to Livy's wedding all night, and went straight home. I also feel like I have no problem with anyone" Rei said.


"May they be wrong?" Melvin.


"If it's good there's got to be Rei's stuff missing, brother."


"Maybe it's not because many people are coming. I got there too many people swarming the location."


"Yes, at least I'm fine" Rei said. "Why are you here? Didn't you get the doctor to take a complete break?" Rei scolded Ruby.


"The sleep continues on the bed bored, Rei. My room is also next door. Actually I could've gone home if it wasn't Papa and Melvin's intention to keep me here."


"Wait a few more days until you're really strong."


Ruby could only sigh. I was tired of being in the hospital doing nothing. Ruby has also been fired from the company by her own husband. It can no longer work.


Drrtt


Melvin's phone is vibrating. He saw who called his number was the secretary Pak Wijaya. "Hello?" said it. Ruby and Rei fell silent listening to Melvin pick up his phone.


"Sir Melvin, Mr. Wijaya was attacked by someone. He's hurt."


Melvin was silent for a moment. After yesterday Rei, now it's his father-in-law's turn to be harmed. "Is the condition severe?"


"He was hit by a puncture wound and had severe bleeding. We're taking her to the hospital where Miss Ruby is being treated."


"I'll wait for you here. Please, take care of Papa!" Melvin to the point of shaking gave his orders.


"Good, sir."


Melvin turned off the phone. He sat down beside Rei's bed. Something is wrong with what happened to Rei and his father-in-law.


"What's up, brother?" Ruby was very curious to see the change in her husband's expression.


"Papa stabbed people" Rei said in a limp tone.


"Sir .. Don't joke." Ruby's heart felt like it was going to be dislodged to hear her father hurt people.


"Who just called you?" ask Rei.


"Secretary Papa, Mr. Edgar."


"Call Mark, Vin. Tell him to tighten up the guard at home. Also have some people stand guard here. I'm afraid they'll come to this place if we know we're all treated in the same place" Rei said.


"Yes, I'll do it." Melvin took back his phone and opted out of Rei's room to call Markus.


"Be careful, Ruby. Don't go alone any more anytime soon. Before we manage to catch the mastermind behind this troublemaker."


Ruby nodded with Rei's words. "I'm worried about Papa's condition."


"Not to worry, there was Mr. Edgar accompanying him." Rei tried to calm Ruby down. He himself felt guilty for letting his father return to take care of the company because he was still lying sick. Pak Wijaya should continue to enjoy his leisure time after choosing to retire from the company.


"You've been told don't worry even frown so. Remember, the condition of your pregnancy is quite vulnerable, do not follow dizziness. Let's get this thing done, Melvin and I are gonna fix it." Rei again advises seeing Ruby start to be a dumbass.


Not long after, Melvin went back inside. "I've contacted Markus. He'll soon send his men here."


"Ruby, you want to come down? Papa's here any minute" Melvin asked.


Ruby nodded. Melvin scratched his hand to be held by his wife. "Rei, we went downstairs to see Papa's condition."


Melvin took Ruby with him. They went downstairs to the IGD room. Melvin asked the officers there to prepare a cage because his father-in-law was about to arrive.


When Mr. Edgar's car arrived in front of the hospital, IGD officers rushed to help deal with Mr. Wijaya whose condition had fallen due to heavy blood loss. They raised Mr. Wijaya on the bed that has been provided and brought him into the IGD room.


"Father!" Ruby shouted when she saw the condition of her father who was covered in blood. He wanted to run over, but Melvin prevented it.


Melvin hugged Ruby who was crying so hard, trying to calm the pregnant woman. Ruby's mind must have been very shaken. "Papa's gonna be fine. You take it easy."


Ruby was speechless other than spilling her grief in the arms of her own husband.


"How did it go, sir?" melvin asked Mr. Edgar who was standing next to him.


"I don't know exactly either, sir. Later I will have my men check the CCTV around the location."


"What happened at the company?"


"Yes. Looks like they came when Mister was alone heading for the parking lot. I happen to have a little business with the employees, so let you get down to the basement parking lot."


"When I came, some security guards tried to fight the five men who attacked Mr. I also fought, but they managed to escape. Master was hit by a stone blow on his forehead, as well as a puncture wound in the stomach area."


"Suit this problem until the culprit," pinta Melvin.


"Surely, Sir. I will pursue those who dare to wound you to the ends of the world. Forgive me for not being able to take good care of Master." Mr. Edgar felt very guilty. He has served Mr. Wijaya for a dozen years. During that time, only this time he experienced extraordinary events that befell Mr. Wijaya.


"Don't blame yourself, sir. You've worked hard. We have to work together to catch the culprit. I think that doing all this has something to do with what happened to Rei."


"I'll investigate Mr.'s suspicious business colleagues. There may be one of them involved."


"Yes, Sir. You have to do it."


"I give permission to go back to the company." Mr. Edgar had to settle matters in the office that was abandoned because of the incident that befell his superiors. He also had to cancel a meeting with a business associate that was supposed to be scheduled today.
