The two of them sat in the nanny car.
Kevin Clark arranged the food boxes layer by layer on the tableboard. There were fish, meat, shrimp, soup, and even cut fruits, including grapes peeled off.
โGive me your hand, I want to check it.โ Kevin Clark said.
Daisy Zane extended her hand to him, glanced at his eyes to find that the corners of his eyes were once again reddened. He hadnโt got a good rest.
Kevin Clark held her wrist and pressed it. The swelling had subsided significantly: โDoes it still hurt?โ
โNo pain.โ Daisy Zane replied, holding a fork in her left hand, and ate a grape.
Kevin Clark glanced at her, doubting her two-word response: โYou still need to apply the medicine.โ
โHmm.โ
He didnโt quite believe her, so he added: โI will remind you when itโs time.โ
Daisy Zane chewed the grapes in her mouth slowly, looking at Kevin Clark.
Normally, she wouldnโt care much about such a slight injury. Itโs just that she didnโt care much when Kevin Clark told her to apply the medicine twice a day, morning and night.
Kevin Clark seemed to see through her thoughts, so that night, he called her exactly at eight oโclock to remind her to take the medicine.
Daisy Zane agreed, but Kevin Clark insisted on waiting until she finished applying the medicine before hanging up the phone.
That night, it took her more than ten minutes to find the two tubes of ointment, which finally turned up in the laundry basket.
She didnโt notice when she was sorting out the clothes, and the tubes of medicine were tossed inside with the clothes.
After that day, Kevin Clark started to video call her promptly at eight, morning and night, watching her apply the medicine.
โIs the grape sweet?โ Kevin Clark put his hand back on her leg.
โHmm.โ
Kevin Clark gave a small smile and handed her the chopsticks: โEat first.โ
Daisy Zane took the chopsticks, took a bite of her meal, and after swallowing, she asked, โAre you done with work?โ
โNot yet.โ Kevin Clark carefully removed the fish bones for her. Hearing her question, the corners of his mouth slightly turned upward, โIn two daysโ time, I have managed to interrogate the arrested persons around the clock. However, no valuable information has been obtained.โ freeweb novel. com
Daisy Zane paused her hand for a moment, she didnโt expect him to share so much with her.
Kevin Clark put some vegetables on her plate and continued, โOn that night at the brick factory, a total of six trucks unloaded fourteen boxes of goods. The six drivers who were responsible for the transportation came from six different villages, and they did not know each other.โ
Daisy Zane frowned slightly.
โEat your meal while listening, otherwise it will get cold.โ Kevin Clark said.
Daisy Zane put the fish in her mouth and chewed slowly.
โAccording to their account, three years ago, someone suddenly came to their village and contacted them. They were told to wait in the village. If someone came to them with a truck, they would drive the truck to a designated location.โ Kevin Clark said. โAnd once they completed a trip, they would be rewarded
50,000 USD.โ
โDid you check their village?โ
โYes.โ Kevin Clark put on disposable gloves and started to peel the shrimp. โAll six villages were investigated. They are all at the same economic level and have no surveillance systems. After inquiring around, the villagers could not provide any unusual information. The only thing they knew was that the household responsible for the transport business was quite wealthy.โ
โItโs normal for the countryside to lack surveillance systems, and for them to have a transport business. Moreover, no one would pay much attention if an extra truck comes or goes in the villageโฆ what about the license plate number of the truck?โ Daisy Zane said.
โThere was no license plate number.โ Kevin Clark replied. โAccording to their accounts, when the truck was handed to them, it had no license plate number. Furthermore, these six villages and Red Cliff village are connected through small and even dirt paths. There were not only no CCTV cameras, but there were also no traffic lights on the roads.โ ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ต.๐๐ธ๐
โItโs their painstaking efforts to carefully select, plan, and deploy.โ Daisy Zane said with a cold voice.
โThere is only so much they confessed.โ Kevin Clark said, โCurrently, it seems that the only thing that can be done is to keep investigating.โ
โBefore that batch of goods got into their hands, it must have passed through countless hands, turned over numerous locations and villages.โ Daisy Zane poked at the rice in her bowl. โWho knows how many more groups of six people like them are out there handling layer after layer of work, and how many more locations are there like Red Cliff Village.โ
It would take forever to wait for a thorough investigation.
Kevin Clark looked at her. Daisy Zane was very rational with clear logic. This rationality of hers gave him an extreme sense of feeling that it was as if she was emotionless.
Daisy looked up at him, their eyes meeting. Kevinโs eyebrows rose slightly, he looked at her openly, a smile in his eyes, appearing to be full of interest in her.
After a few seconds of their gaze locking, Daisy shifted her gaze and asked, โWhere are the others? I saw a box of reports in the basement, who wrote them?โ
โThis honest?โ Kevin laughed.
โNot really.โ Daisy met his eyes again, โYou discovered it yourself.โ
Kevin Clark laughed again, but there was no amusement in his gaze; His glance skipped over her wrist and he said, โA group specifically recording reactions to the drug injection. They have some medical background, all of them are risk-takers who value money over their lives. They are obedient and donโt know anything.โ
Daisy lowered her gaze to her food and did not speak again.
โThose reports were about to be transported away, but they were just intercepted,โ Kevin said, โWould you like to take a look? I will let them submit them in a few days.โ
Daisy raised her head to look at him, obviously scrutinizing him.
But Kevin just met her gaze openly, calm as ever.
After a while, Daisy stated directly, โI need to adjust the schedule with the director. โ
โUm.โ Kevin said, โLet me know when youโve settled the schedule, I will pick you up.โ
As the female lead was finally established, Serena Buster signed a contract at the fastest speed and started filming.
To make up for the scenes of the female lead, Daisy had to work through the night; after that, the director gave her a break.
To put it nicely, they were letting her rest, but not so nicely, they were rushing to film the female leadโs scenes, so she was not needed anymore.
So, Daisy returned to Truro City the morning after filming had wrapped up.
She left at 8 0โclock in the morning, it was a little over four-hour drive, but she was stuck in traffic for two hours. By the time she arrived at Everlasting Palace, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Exiting the elevator, Daisy stood at the entrance of her door trying her fingerprint to unlock it. It didnโt open even after trying three times. Then she tried the password, but the password was incorrect.
Daisy:
She pressed the doorbell twice, no one answered from her side of the house, but there was the sound of a door opening from across the hall.
Daisy turned around.
Kevin, in his house clothes, looked somewhat surprised to see her, and lightly teased, โWhatโs up, canโt get into your own house?โ
Daisy removed her mask and pulled out her cell phone, saying, โJames Collins deleted my fingerprint and changed the password.โ
Kevin kept a straight face as he pursed his lips, realizing the man had really made himself at home. He walked closer and asked, โIsnโt he coming back tomorrow?โ
โYes, one of the scenes got canceled, and I came back early.โ Daisy said and then dialed James Collinsโs number.
James answered the phone rather quickly which allowed Kevin to hear him excitedly yell โSisterโ on the other end.
Butโฆ Daisy tried the new password James gave her three times, and it was wrong each time.
โJames.โ Daisy lightly called his name.
โSister, sister, calm down, Iโll think, Iโll think about it.โ James explained, โI was drunk that night, I canโt remember it very well. Let me think.โ
Then James gave her another set of numbers, and even after Daisy input them, it was still incorrect.
As the incorrect password prompt entered the phone, Jamesโs heart went cold. Before Daisy said anything, he conceded, โSister! I was wrong! Wrong! I reallyโฆโ
โWhere are you?โ The question was cold and resonant.
โI am not in Truro City.โ
Daisy immediately hung up the phone.
Kevin was standing not far behind her, a slight smile crept onto his face. He picked up her suitcase and gently said, โCome to my place first, rest for a while.โ
Suppressing the urge to kick the door, Daisy took a light breath and replied, โSure..โ
