Chapter 116: Police; Mateo Fell Himself.

"Remember, even if he’s beaten to death, bite down and insist he fell himself."

Ryan agreed and hung up, then said with a smile, "Anna, if you’re worried, we’ll go take a look. But remember, no matter what, he fell down by himself."

"At that time we were in the private room and didn’t see anything. We only heard the scream."

Linda blinked and gave the most reasonable explanation.

"Right, we only came out after hearing the sound, and then we saw he was already on the ground. We don’t know where he fell from."

Anna was already a clever woman. Once she calmed down, she immediately agreed with this reasonable explanation.

The three of them took a taxi to the emergency room of the Westside medicine hospital. The emergency room in the middle of the night was still fairly quiet.

After all, it was a relatively remote new campus.

The light outside the operating room was on. When Ryan arrived, there were quite a few people there. Pan was chatting with a middle-aged couple. Judging by their appearance, they were probably Mateo’s parents.

Pan said, "Uncle, Auntie, this guy is too outrageous. We were in the middle of discussing business when he came over drunk."

"He made a scene for no reason. I told him to get out of the private room. He probably felt humiliated, and then either on purpose or by accident, he fell down."

"I’ve been saying it all along, he gets dead drunk every day and stirs up trouble..."

The man looked furious at his failure to meet expectations, "It’s all your fault. You spoiled him rotten."

The woman wiped her tears and said, "He fell by accident. It wasn’t on purpose..."

The man said irritably, "If he dies, serves him right. He was so drunk and still filed a false police report, saying someone pushed him downstairs. Afraid we’re too free, huh."

Seeing that he had fooled them, Pan narrowed his eyes and said, "Uncle, Auntie, we were discussing business at that time. Who had time to bother with him?"

"Besides, that one is Angler, the young heir of Tiger Real Estate, and the other is Hammon, the young heir of the Brilliant Hotel."

Finally, he paused slightly and introduced, "As for this one, he’s my client, Mr. Ryan. His net worth is something I don’t even dare think about."

"He came to me today because he just bought two villa worth more than fifteen million. Full cash. He needs at least hundred of thousands in furniture. Angler connected us. We were just discussing this at the time."

Hearing this, Pan’s parents’ expressions changed. Everyone present was either rich or powerful.

Tiger Real Estate, Brilliant Hotel. In Videl, everyone knew these famous names. With that kind of wealth, unless you were drunk, where would you get the guts to provoke them?

Besides, they were not people without experience.

With that kind of wealth, why would they need to do anything themselves? One day you could mysteriously get into a car accident on the road.

Ryan said with a concerned look, "Pan, is your cousin okay after falling downstairs?"

Pan said with a bitter smile, "He’s drunk stupid. On the ambulance he screamed and called the police, saying you threw him downstairs."

Ryan looked stunned and cursed, "Was he drinking or high on drugs? It’s my first day meeting him. We knew each other less than five minutes and didn’t even know each other’s names."

"We were discussing business together. I randomly threw him downstairs? Am I crazy?"

Hearing Ryan’s words, the suspicion on Mateo’s mother’s face instantly disappeared. Mateo’s father said, "Mr. Ryan, please calm down. This kid really drank himself stupid. He must be hallucinating."

What does it mean when three people say something and it becomes fact? One Angler, one Hammon, one big client and rich young heir.

Most importantly, Pan said the same thing. Mateo had probably been causing trouble all along, so his parents definitely believed it.

As they spoke, the police arrived. Angler went up to greet them. Clearly, they had already been notified in advance.

They all insisted that he had been drinking and causing trouble, then fell down. Moreover, everyone only left the private room after hearing the scream and saw him after he had already fallen.

"Officer, tell me if I’m wronged or not. This is too ridiculous."

Ryan said with a depressed look, "That guy lying in there, I met him for the first time today. It was only about five minutes and I didn’t even know his name, yet he insists I threw him downstairs."

Mateo’s father came over and said, "Yes, we also find it strange. There’s no grudge either. Besides, his cousin was present. This is his guest."

Pan’s injuries were not considered serious. After stopping the bleeding and examination, it was a mild concussion, plus soft tissue bruises and contusions all over.

The left foot had four fractures, the ankle had a bone crack, the large and small bones of the lower leg were also fractured, and the knee had a bone crack plus torn periosteum.

The right foot had only one fracture. Other than that, everything else was a minor problem...

Ryan and Anna looked at the CT scan. Anna smiled brightly, clearly relieved of her anger. After confirming the person was not in serious danger, she also felt like she had let out a long breath.

After the statement was recorded, Mateo, whose wounds had been treated, was also pushed out. Enemies meeting were especially red-eyed.

After all this, he had sobered up completely. Looking at Ryan’s fake smile, from his earlier arrogance to now a pale face clearly carrying fear.

Throwing someone downstairs over a disagreement. Honestly, 99% of people would be afraid after seeing that kind of ruthlessness.

But when he saw the police present, his eyes lit up and he pointed at Ryan, saying, "Officer, he’s the one who pushed me downstairs."

But what Mateo didn’t expect was that Mateo’s father, whose face was dark, stepped forward and slapped him. With a smack, the heavy slap landed on his face.

This slap used full force, making Mateo dizzy and confused. Blood even came out of the corner of his mouth...

"Damn it, you little bastard. Your cousin was discussing business and you ran over to cause trouble. You drank so much and still want to falsely accuse someone you don’t even know."

"Your mother’s..."

Mateo’s father threw several more punches at his face. The officer quickly stepped forward to stop him.

Pan also tried to break it up. After stopping him, he said gloomily, "Mateo, are you confused from drinking? Mr. Ryan is my client. Today was your first time meeting him and he pushed you downstairs???"

"Please use your brain a little. You only act like this when you’re completely drunk, right!"

The officer looked and said, "We’ll come back tomorrow to take his statement. He’s this drunk. Any statement he gives is invalid."

"Okay, take care!"

Even though they hit and scolded him, he was still their son, so of course they felt pain in their hearts.

Mateo was pushed into the ward. His current situation required careful examination and then surgery arrangement. For the hospital, this was routine.
