In the car...
Viana had been unconscious in the back seat for a long time. Her wounds were still bleeding, looking very pitiful.
Dean said, "The evacuation officer in the city center has been contacted. They're coming to clean up the accident site."
"Hm," Alen replied.
Dean caught a glimpse of the girl in the back seat through the small glass on top of the car. "What should we do after taking this girl to the hospital?"
Alen didn't even turn his head. "Contact her family, that's enough. We can get on with our work."
Dean nodded and didn't say anything else.
Alen looked at the wallet and cell phone in front of him. They belonged to the young woman he had just saved. Alen initially refused to deal with anyone who had nothing to do with his duties. However, as he recalled the scene of the accident, he felt something strange. The suspicion in his heart grew.
Alen was very sensitive when he was researching a case. His mind could already guess that the accident must have been intentional. He wondered who this girl was that could make others go to such lengths to cause a car accident. Could it be that this girl was an unusual person?
Finally, Alen reached out and took the girl's purse first. When he opened her purse, something immediately caught his attention.
Dean couldn't help glancing to the side and was surprised. "This..."
Alen's face instantly turned serious. "This is the Harvey family identity card," he recognized it immediately. "The red color in this card shows how important her position is in the Harvey family, or perhaps she is the current leader of the Harvey family."
Dean was dumbfounded. "Could she be the young girl who became the head of the Harvey family? Gosh, there are so many rumors these days!" Dean couldn't contain his shock.
The Harvey family was the number one family in the capital city of the Harveina kingdom. Like the name of the kingdom itself, Harveina has been ruled by the Harvey family since its foundation and for generations to come. Unlike the royal families of old, the modern-day Harveys have also developed extensive private businesses. Many sectors within the country are controlled and run by the Harvey family. That's why the Harveys are so rich and powerful.
A king can only focus on governing and managing the country. Therefore, to share the duties, the Harvey family's huge private businesses would be managed by the Harvey family leader.
The current king is the younger brother of Viana's father, Edric Harvey. Actually, the position of king was passed down to Viana's father, but Viana's father rejected it because he preferred to be the family leader who managed the entire Harvey family business.
So, after Viana's father passed away, the task of being the leader of the Harvey family fell to her.
"According to rumors, her late father, who passed away not too long ago, had passed on his position to the girl to become the leader of the huge and rich Harvey family! Her younger brother was even defeated! Many people say that she is so smart and talented that she was given full control of the Harvey family!" Dean continued in awe.
Alen listened to Dean's story intently. He had heard about the rumors a while ago, but Alen still didn't expect that he would meet this girl under such miserable circumstances.
Alen folded her wallet and turned around to pick up the girl's cell phone. The phone was locked and only displayed the lock screen, which had a photo of a girl with her father. The girl was beautiful, gentle, calm, and she was smiling happily with her father beside her.
"Viana Harvey..." Alen raised the corners of his mouth slightly after reading the girl's name on the ID card. "Apparently things are not as simple as we thought."
***
When they arrived at their destination that night, Alen and Dean shared the task. Dean was ordered to take Viana to the hospital for immediate treatment, while Alen went to the headquarters to place all the equipment and check the mission preparations.
Viana was treated well by the medics after entering the emergency room. Her life was saved. All the nurses and doctors had completed Viana's first treatment by the end of the night. Her wounds were treated and bandaged well. The location of the broken bone had been bandaged with a cast. However, Viana was still unable to regain consciousness.
Alen, on the other hand, was busy at the regional headquarters. Piling up work and reports kept him up all night. Finally, he only had two hours of sleep before the sun came up, and he was startled by the ringing of his cell phone.
Because his position was so important and mysterious, few people could have his cell phone number. Most people would call Dean or another assistant first, and then Dean would report to him in case of urgent matters.
Alen was lying on the sofa when he opened his eyes and reluctantly picked up his cell phone on the table.
"We've got some new information for you, Commander. If you're ready, I'll be waiting for you at the hospital now. You'd better come check it out," Dean said over the phone.
Alen was silent for a moment before answering, "Hm."
After the phone hung up, Alen thought of the girl he had saved the night before. Considering that the girl's position was very important in the Harvey family, the number one family in the capital and had ties to the head of state, this accident would make headlines in the capital.
Thinking of this, Alen became interested in the possibilities and immediately got up to get ready.

At the hospital...
Alen got out of his car and walked towards the upper floor of the hospital. He walked around the hallway for a while, looking left and right and occasionally checking his cell phone to find the name of the room where Viana was admitted that Dean had sent him. It didn't take long for Alen to find the room and enter.
Dean was engrossed in watching television. As soon as Alen entered, he immediately stood up and greeted Alen.
"Commander, you've arrived."
Alen glanced at the girl lying on the hospital bed. He saw bandages covering most of the girl's limbs, including her head, left hand, and right leg.
"How was the doctor's examination?" Alen asked first.
Dean replied, "The doctor stated that her condition is critical; she has broken bones in her left hand and right leg. Those will take time to recover. Then she suffered a blow to the head. Based on the results of the examination, she will most likely have temporary amnesia, but this can only be confirmed after she wakes up."
For someone who gets into a car accident in a row and then falls into a ravine, this kind of injury is better than death.
Fate still seemed to be on this girl's side.
"You stayed here alone all night?" Alen asked Dean while frowning slightly.
Dean answered honestly. "Of course, you left me here to look after her. So, when the doctor asks about my relationship with the patient, I can only say that I am her family member."
"...."
Alen was silent for a moment, then said nothing more. He just stared at the television in the patient's room, waiting.
"Last night, the evacuation team should have finished handling the accident scene. The news will soon spread throughout the capital and the region," said Dean, who was also waiting.
They both guessed how the news about Viana would be broadcast. As they expected, the latest news appeared on the television screen.
"Viewers, a series of accidents have killed the leader of the Harvey family, who had just replaced her father as the leader of the Harvey family, Miss Viana. The accident occurred on the border of the capital, and Miss Viana's car fell into a ravine..."
Alen and Dean only listened for a moment before they were lost in their own thoughts.
How could they say Viana's daughter had died? Obviously, no body was found there.
"All of this was planned," Alen muttered in conclusion.
