My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 288

It was the crucial point where Phantom Wolf actually broke his principle.

Then, Sophia started to describe Phantom Wolf’s appearance. “I couldn’t see his face and hair clearly because he was wearing a mask. He seems to be taller than Michael by a bit. He…” She shot a look at Michael, who was beside her, and lowered her head before continuing with her words. “When he kissed me, I noticed that he had a sharp chin. His skin is fair and he has no facial hair. He also has thin lips.”

At first, she thought that he would be angry, but he surprisingly lowered his head and gave her a kiss before murmuring, “Don’t be afraid. Everything is in the past. Try to think carefully about the details. This is crucial for Abel to discover Phantom Wolf’s true identity.”

From the moment that Michael noticed that something was wrong, Sophia’s body shook vehemently with her tiny face almost becoming completely pale. He thought, Before her, everyone who has met or came into contact with Phantom Wolf all ended up dead.

She is the only one who survived the encounter, which is already considered courageous. If possible, I want her to completely forget that nightmare today, but she needs to share everything that happened today with us. She is our only clue.

Abel was already jotting down the points that she gave in his notebook.

He has a sharp chin. His skin is fair and he has no facial hairs. This proves that the current Phantom Wolf’s leader is a young man. The evidence is basically in line with the rumored image of him being a handsome man.

At that moment, Sophia had already been terrified to death, so she was unclear about the specific details and said everything that she could remember.

She remained silent for a while before continuing with her words. “I was scared, so I smashed a vase to draw other people’s attention. In the end, he escaped through the window.”

Abel took note of that and wrote it in his notebook before closing it while saying to Michael, “She is still terrified. Bring her back to have a rest. I’ll inform you if there’s any news.”

At that moment, the doctor was also done with examining Sophia, so Michael brought her to her room to have a rest. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

In the meantime, Abel, Hale, Gemma and the others began to investigate the situation.

From the information that Sophia had provided them with, Phantom Wolf must have had a clear understanding of Bayside University’s landscape. He also knew the students’ courses well enough by observing her activities, which meant that he had infiltrated the university a long time ago.

“Gemma, I want you to check all of the surveillance tapes near the School of Computer Science at around 4PM.”

Gemma had already hacked into the Bayside University’s surveillance system and found all of the useful surveillance video around that area, which included the video of Sophia meeting Stanely and him dragging her into the School of Computer Science’s computer room.

However, the surveillance video couldn’t capture her after she entered the toilet.

Even Gemma’s pinhole robot was unable to capture any footage of Sophia.

It was an accident that he had captured the scene where Sophia fought in the toilet the last time. The device happened to fall off at that time when the signal in the entire School of Computer Science building was blocked by an unknown device, so he couldn’t record any footage of what happened—even if he wanted to.

Abel checked all the nearby surveillance cameras, but he couldn’t find anything valuable. It was obvious that the other party came prepared and destroyed the surveillance for some key locations nearby. This man can not be underestimated.

He never doubted Phantom Wolf’s abilities.

The title of Phantom Wolf had been passed down from generation to generation with neither one of them being an easy character to deal with; otherwise, they wouldn’t have caused a headache for the Interpol for the past few decades.

Abel was still searching through the surveillance video, not wanting to allow any clues to slip away from his eyes. He was so excited that he couldn’t sleep for the entire night because it was the first time that he came so close to Phantom Wolf in the past few years.

Back then, the explosion had instantly incinerated Celine’s body, but Justin survived. He was left with his last breath as he relied on his strong will to live.

However, even though he had survived, he was a cripple. 90% of his body had been burned, which resulted in his face resembling a demon. He was also severely disabled, spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair. He knew that the Mitchell Family would never admit to the existence of a cripple like him.

The Mitchell Family did not need a cripple, but they needed a fallen hero. Among those who agreed were Justin’s biological parents.

They hoped that their son could have died in battle instead of holding onto that last breath. They even announced his death when he was still alive and applied the title of fallen hero for him.

Hehe, what a joke.

If nothing else had happened at that time, Justin, who could have been saved, would be left to die by his own family. Fortunately, Michael showed up in time to save him.

He used another severely burned corpse to replace Justin before sending him away in secret.

He had no other reason to save Justin. Celine was already gone and he didn’t hope that the man whom she loved would follow her to the grave. Besides, Nathan still needed a father.

Michael initially planned to send Justin abroad in secret and help the latter heal from his injuries with Nathan beside him. Michael was prepared to take care of them for the rest of their lives. Even though Justin could no longer resemble a normal person, at least he was still alive and Nathan wouldn’t be an orphan.

However, he did not expect that Justin would experience a rapid transformation in a short span of two to three years. After enduring a series of unimaginable surgeries and rehabilitations, he was able to live like a normal person. During his rehabilitation, he even taught himself in various areas like forensic and investigation, swearing to avenging his beloved wife.

At that moment, the Mitchell Family’s proud son, Justin, was no longer around; he was only a fallen hero in their eyes. The national flag covered his body, which was buried in the Memorial Garden as the son-in- law of the Fletcher Family. They honored him by giving him the highest of respect—a fallen hero’s funeral. Even Old Master Fletcher had personally showed up at his funeral as he died for the honor of the Mitchell Family!

It was late at night yet Abel was still searching for evidence in the surveillance videos. Michael had already given him the clothes that Sophia wore. Luckily, she didn’t get the chance to wash them, so he would still be able to look for clues on the attire. He searched for further clues on her apparel, trying to find Phantom Wolf’s fingerprints.

Whenever he felt tired, he would take out his wallet and have a look at two photos inside.

One of them was the picture Michael took with Nathan and Sophia when they were having their holiday in the Harper’s Mansion. Nathan stood in the middle and smiled happily since he was the little baby whom everyone loved.

When Justin and Celine had the accident, Nathan was only three months old, so he was completely oblivious of what happened to his parents. Just like that, he became an orphan and hadn’t known about Abel’s existence.

There was a woman who looked similar to Michael in the other picture and she was Justin’s only love in his life. She was the only motivation keeping him alive.

“Celine, wait for me. After I’ve avenged your death, I will go and look for you.”

Abel put down the photo and sipped coffee to refresh himself so that he could continue his investigation. He carefully searched through Sophia’s clothes with gloves and used a tweezer to delicately retrieve the hair on the attire for analysis.

Phantom Wolf had touched those clothes—even if he never left any fingerprints or evidence about his identity, there would always be clues left behind.

He didn’t allow any details on the top and bottom of the dress slip from his eyes. Finally, he found something strange on the shoulder part—there was a white powder sitting on it.

It’s chalk powder!
