Gwen‘s question was too sharp that it startled Mr. Zink After a while, after much staring
from Gwen and Steven, he sighed deeply and eventually fessed up. “I... Well, I didn‘t really know he
was going to die.”
He sighed again. “It‘s a long story.” “Then you can tell us on the way.” Steven looked around and
thought it was not safe to stay for too long He only managed to knock out the two guards, and once
they woke up, they would surely inform the other guards. By then, there would not be just two guards
stopping them. It was hard enough for him to take down those two guards, and he did not know if he
could deliver the same result if there were more of them.
“Yes. You can tell us on the road.”
Steven‘s words prompted Gwen. She nodded vehemently and helped the weak Mr. Zink up to his feet
with Steven‘s help. They used the same route they took before and helped Mr. Zink to escape the
underground car park The three of them entered the cars, and Steven was the driver. Gwen sat at the
back and used the medical box in the car to sanitize Mr. Zink‘s wounds. “What causes these?” When
she first saw how bloodied Mr. Zink was in the underground car park, she did not know all this blood
came from all these wounds.
“It‘s a long story...” Mr. Zink sighed and said the same thing.
Gwen rolled her eyes. “Why do you keep saying that? Just answer the question. I hate it when people
don‘t answer the question directly.”
Steven, who was driving, was taken aback to hear Gwen‘s comment. ‘She said she hates it when
people don‘t say what‘s on their mind. Then...should I tell her my true feelings?‘ “Dan Howard was the
one who hurt me and inflicted these injuries on me.” Since Gwen had expressed her frustration, Mr.Zink
sighed and gradually told them what he went through, even answering the question Gwen asked in the
underground car park.
“When Senior Howard looked for me yesterday, he was drafting his will, but when I saw his condition
yesterday, he wasn‘t severely injured to the point he needed to draft his will immediately. I told him the
will can wait until he was discharged and felt better; there was no rush. After all...”
Mr. Zink sighed again, “After all, he was not even sixty years old yet. In addition, he didn‘t have any
terminal illness, and he‘s in relatively good shape. Thus, there was no rush to have the will drafted.
However, he told me he doesn‘t have plenty of time left. He forced me to draft out his will yesterday...”
Gwen furrowed her brow. “So you‘re saying...he knew he didn‘t have much time left?” If that was not
the case, he should not be in a hurry to make arrangements for his death after suffering a minor injury.
“Yes, I believe so.” Mr. Zink nodded. “After I finished talking with Senior Howard, Mrs. Howard and Dan
stopped me before I could go back to my office to make an official will. They forced me to tell them
what Senior Howard told me. In the beginning, I refused to tell them, but...”
He kept quiet for a moment.
“In the end, I told them. At that time, Dan said...he won‘t let the old geezer‘s dream come true. If the old
geezer wanted to be on the way, he was more than happy to help him... After that, Dan even quarreled
with Mrs. Howard...”
Steven, who was driving the car, said, “So Senior Howard‘s death had nothing much to do with
Joshua.”
