BXBX NOVEL Chapter 325 - Monitoring The Attacker
Mark\'s POV:
I feel sorry for my harsh behaviour towards Anna, so after the dream prank revealed I apologized her in-between our intense kiss. Finally, Anna and I sort out the issue between us and we started to watch the CCTV footage.
The moment we recognize an anonymous man in a hat, I followed up the footage by shifting to another camera to monitor him. By looking at his features I am sure he is not the guest I invited, so he might be the attacker or he might be the person who tried to murder Rubeus uncle through food poison; maybe both of them are the same person. Luckily we caught his face through another camera, and I am shocked by looking at his face; it\'s the attacker who tried to fire on Anna with his soundproof gun and he tried to attack on Tom too, but Tom luckily escaped.
The moment I looked at him in the CCTV footage, all my doubts are cleared and now I am sure he is the one who tried to murder my uncle. Anna and I still follow up on the video to find a further clue...
After a few minutes, he stands still at a place in the party and observing someone very .
After a few minutes, he paused at some place in the party and observing someone with his narrowed eyes. I changed the video footage to check who it might be, and it\'s Anna and me on the other side, so he is stalking both of us, and if I am not wrong, he can attempt to murder Anna on the same night, but he didn\'t...
Why..?
Maybe he didn\'t get the orders by the person who is behind all these, or he may get scared that he gets caught because of the strict security.
Anna: Mark, look at this...
(Anna pointed to look at the video, where he got stiffened and alerted when someone approached him, and I am shocked by looking at that person who approached the attacker.)
Anna: Mark, is that Rubeus uncle?
(I nodded my head as yes, but still I am in shock. We both are observing them, and Rubeus uncle just came beside the attacker and watching the direction where the attacker is watched before. So I understand my uncle is watching Anna and me, but it\'s not weird if my uncle is watching us, but I am more eager to find if my uncle is speaking to that attacker or not...
After a few seconds, my uncle looked at him and left the place I feel relieved that my uncle didn\'t speak to him. Immediately, the attacker diverted his stalking towards my uncle, and he suddenly followed my uncle. I feel nervous while watching the video, and Anna immediately holds my hand; her hand is like a rock ice, and I understand she is more scared and nervous than me. I wrapped her in my hug and changed the video to follow up on the attacker.
Rubeus uncle went to some other guests to speak, but the attacker stands casually beside the group of officials where Rubeus uncle is busy in speaking, but the attacker again started to starring at Anna and me.
Rubeus uncle identified him when he was speaking into the officials and he stared at the attacker where the attacker is busy in stalking at Anna and me. After a few seconds, Rubeus uncle went to another group of officials and was busy speaking with them, but this time, the attacker didn\'t follow Rubeus uncle and was busy stalking at Anna and me.
I didn\'t understand what\'s happening. Did the attacker is after Anna and me?
Or is he after my Rubeus uncle?
After some time, Joseph uncle stands beside the attacker, and the attacker got alerted like he is alerted when Rubeus uncle stands beside him. But this time, Joseph uncle speak something to the attacker, and the attacker smile and answer to Joseph uncle and both of them gave shake hands to each other.
Anna and I looked at each other in confusion by looking at the video,
Anna: Mark, is there any chance that it might be Joseph uncle who appointed the attacker?
Mark: No, Anna, he is a very loyal employee of our company and a family friend who always seeks our well being.
(Anna looked at me in confusion.)
Anna: Mark, please don\'t think in another way; I feel this old man who is Joseph is trying to attack on us...
(I smiled at Anna, and I can understand why she feels insecure about Joseph uncle. He is Genie\'s father, and Genie always tried to humiliate Anna, so there is no doubt that Anna can suspect him. So I didn\'t argue with her to prove Joseph uncle honesty.)
Mark: let\'s see, Anna...
We can\'t conclude in the middle of the video, right?
(Anna nodded her head as yes, but she is still looking at me with her worried face. I pulled her close to me to make her feel better.)
Mark: That\'s the reason I don\'t want you to look at the footage.
(She looked at me in shock.)
Anna: I am really sorry, Mark, I don\'t want to suspect Joseph uncle. It\'s my mistake that I suspect him before I know the real facts.
(I immediately hit on her head in a teasing way. She again looked at me with her confused puppy eyes.)
Mark: I don\'t want you to be worried because of watching the CCTV footage; that\'s the reason I paused the footage when you are looking in the first instance at balcony, but not because you will suspect the Joseph uncle.
(Her face immediately turned to smile and wrapped her hands around my neck and sit on my lap.)
Anna: let\'s watch together, Mark, I promise I won\'t be worried anymore.
(By listening to her, I pulled her close to me by wrapping my hands around her waist and played the footage, and we both continued to watch it again. After a few seconds, Joseph uncle left the place, and the attacker continued to stalk on Anna and me, and in the middle, he went to the food stall and observed all the stalls and paused at the drinks stall, where Nanny is busy in serving the drinks into the glasses and arranging them into a tray and handover to the supply girls to serve the drinks.
In between, Nanny looked at the attacker for a few seconds and continued her work. Actually, I didn\'t order any work for Nanny at the party. I arranged catering services that everything will be taken care by them, and I can\'t suspect Nanny just because she is taken an active part in serving the drinks; maybe she takes the responsibility as a servant to help drinks stall.
Meanwhile, the attacker takes the wine glass and again started to stalk on us; meanwhile, Rubeus uncle came to the stall casually and looked at the attacker again, but this time after a few seconds, Rubeus uncle speaks something to him, and Joseph uncle joined them. And all three look at each other and speak sometime. I think Rubeus uncle and Joseph uncle suspected the attacker, that\'s the reason, both of them are speaking to him, I guess they are casually asking the attacker\'s details.
Later the attacker takes a few steps away and again started stalking on me and Anna where Rubeus uncle and Joseph uncle are busy in speaking to each other, and Nanny interferes with them and serves the drinks to both of them.
(Anna immediately holds my hand tightly because that is the drink which is poisoned Rubeus uncle and I again looked at all the four...
Nanny went to the stall and busy in serving the drinks happily like before...
The attacker is still busy in stalking on Anna and me...
Joseph uncle put his hand on Rubeus uncle and laughing...
While Rubeus uncle take a sip and looked at Joseph uncle and speaking something else, with his smiling face...
Anna immediately turned her face towards my chest and started crying. Even my eyes become wet by getting the flashes of how Rubeus uncle fell unconscious. I again looked at my Rubeus uncle\'s happy face by tapping on Anna to console her...
Anna: I don\'t want to look at how Rubeus uncle fell unconscious, Mark…
(She said with her shivering tone.)
Mark: Anna, it\'s okay, Rubeus uncle is safe now...
(She immediately looked into my eyes.)
Anna: Do you think he is safe?
(I looked at her in confusion.)
Anna: He is not safe at the hospital, Mark...
The attacker followed us to the food carnival because he is spying on us at the hospital. So it means he might know about Joseph\'s uncle is taking treatment in the same hospital, and now he is in the same hospital with a minor wound. What if he got consciousness after we all left the hospital?
He may definitely lead to Rubeus uncle\'s room and may attack him again...
(By finishing her words, Anna again outburst with tears, I am shocked by listening to Anna\'s explanation, and I totally agree with her. I immediately took my phone and called to Tom in a hurry...)
