Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 348

Zack stayed back in the hospital as everyone else disbursed to do as Anand said. Zack just had a hunch that Anand had something to ask him in private.

Just as everyone cleared, Anand stood up from his place and faced Zack looking extremely grave as he asked, “You tell me exactly how the car accident happened?”

Zack explained as detailed as he could. Given the sensitivity of the accident, he did not let the police examine the car directly. He let his own team examine them first and give the report to the police. And because of all the pressure from above, the lead detective of the case couldn’t help grumble but accepted it. The bottom line was someone tampered with the brakes of the car and they knew exactly what they were doing.

But given those people had worked in a garage, Zack was not surprised. More than that, he was more concerned about who was behind it rather than how it had happened.

“We have a mole!” Anand answered looking graver than before.

“Why do you say that?” Zack asked confused.

“The car… It might look like an ordinary sedan… for most parts, it is. Except for extreme safety measures, that is. But there is one thing that is unique to the car that nobody knows of. Its engine design. It is not normal. It was custom made… Adithya personally designed the engine. So, it is not easy to locate anything in there. It might not be special, but it is still very hard to tamper with without knowing what you are looking for. It is especially impossible to achieve something so precise and succeed in it without any prior knowledge. And very few people actually know the design.” Anand answered looking extremely angry.

“You suspect someone right?” Zack asking looking at Anand carefully.

“Yes… Ram Srivastav. Except for him, there can be nobody… because he helped Adithya design the damn thing and build it the first time around. He knows it inside out.” Anand answered.

“Does Shreya know this?” Zack asked. Because he knew Shreya had figured out something… but he cannot think of what she had figured out.

“Yes… she knows. Even though she did not participate in the actual business, Shreya still knew what was happening at home and Adithya was very proud of Ram back then… so, there is no way she couldn’t have known this.”

That actually explained a lot of things.

Zack had been wondering why Shreya did not insist on investigating anyone in particular. If she had a suspicion, she would always first as them to investigate the whereabouts of that person in the last few days or weeks.

And he also wondered why she wanted to make it seem as if the plan was successful. He thought she wanted to catch the snake without startling them. But now he thinks maybe she also wanted to cover to Ram a bit. After all, she did walk out of the car alive and well.

Anand gritted his tooth and fisted his palms in anger. But just as he was about to walk out of the ward, Zack stopped him on his tract as he reminded him.

“I know you want to confront him and all before giving him a piece of your mind… But we don’t have any piece of evidence now. With our servers down, it is hard to get any leverage to make him confess either way. And besides, I think Shreya has a plan. I know she is up to something with all this… you don’t want to ruin it, do you? You can always punch him in the face… he is not going to go anywhere anytime soon. I will send my guys to keep a watch on the whole family discreetly.” Zack said.

“Our priority should be Shreya now. Let’s wait for her to wake up for the rest.” Bhagya pitched in keeping a hand over Anand’s shoulders trying to calm him down.

Anand took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, “When she is done with whatever she is up to, Ram is mine to deal with.” He wanted to see him in the eyes and ask him how he can do something like this to Adithya’s daughter. This time, he will show no mercy in the name of family… he would not let Shreya face him either.

Shreya may be good with many things, but she was not someone who can calmly face her own uncle knowing he had just tried to kill her. He did not want to make her go through that.

“Okay, Anand, you stay here and look after Shreya… I will get going.” Bhagya said and went off. But not before giving Shreya a distressed look.

Zack bid Anand goodbye and went back right behind her. He had way too much work to do. He just wanted to come and make sure Shreya and Zeenath were fine.

As soon as he came out of Shreya’s room, he went to Zeenath’s room.

Zeenath was in an ICU on the same floor. When peeped in, he saw ventilators attached almost covering the whole of her face. Srinivas was sitting beside her bed.

Zack knocked on the door and gestured for him to come out.

“How is she?” Zack asked as soon as Srinivas came out.

“Stable… Doctors are confident she is going to make full recovery with proper care. For now, they put her in a medically induced coma since her head was hurt badly and there are parts of her brain that are swollen. Until the swelling subsides, they are planning to keep her like this…” He answered.

“Okay, take care of things here…” Zack said and excused himself.

“Give me an hour. I will change and report to you.” Srinivas said before Zack could leave. He got the call in the middle of the night and it read it was an emergency. And he had been here for hours now… he would really like a shower before he could go to work.

“You don’t have to come in. We can handle it!” Zack answered.

“It’s okay. Anyways, there is nothing I can do here anyway. And I am sure it is a madhouse down there. It should be better than staring at the ceiling. Anyways, these guys are going to make sure things are okay here.” Srinivas said making his way to the elevator.
