Chapter 272 False Alarm

The doctor hurriedly said, "If it's a cold and fever, then it's nothing, you don't need to take medicine or injections, you can physically cool down the temperature, put ..."

He said a series of physical cooling methods, and Zoey listened and felt it was quite reliable.

When he was gone, she whispered, "Actually, this doctor didn't do anything wrong, so don't be so mean to people."

Wyatt grunted and said, "Haven't done anything wrong yet, can't even see that you're catching a cold and flu, really, no wonder your illness can't be cured until now, it's all their fault for not learning the art well!"

"That's something they didn't expect, I guess, we didn't even say anything about falling overboard when we got back, they didn't think about it that way when I was like that, oh yeah, and what about Mary? Did you say anything?" She asked curiously.

Both almost forgot about Mary.

Wyatt nodded and said, "It was said, but it didn't do much good."

"What do you mean?"

"She said that there was indeed someone instructing her, but she didn't know what that person looked like, and she didn't know what he did, it was all because someone called her and gave her a sum of money on her account, saying that there would be another sum more if she got you killed, and she did it." Wyatt said faintly.

"You, are you saying that she doesn't know anything and is looking at that little bit of money to get at me?" Zoey simply couldn't believe it.

Is there such a person in this world? Is human life so worthless in her eyes?

"Do you know how much the other side paid her?" He then said a number.

Her eyes widened and she barely caught her breath, that little bit of money wasn't enough for her to buy a dress, and this was done to her?

After a few moments, she said quietly, "She probably doesn't realize that if she does save me and get me to safety, I'll pay her a lot more than that."

It's a shame she doesn't know anything and is going to be killed just for the sake of that little bit of money.

She was in a trance of surprise.

Wyatt touched her forehead as a soothing gesture and added, "I checked along the number she said, and found that it was a local number, and found the head of the household, but it turned out that the other party said that this number had long since been deactivated, and that it was secretly picked up by someone to punch the money to make a phone call, and that, right now, it had turned into a junk number."

"I see, so that means the person behind the fingerprints can't be found out?" She felt disappointed.

"Well, we'll just have to catch Mary first, and that Rongming, and as for the one who ordered it, there's not much to go on yet."

"Rongming? The man who bought me?"

"Yes." Ji Huai Zhi nodded, "Although this matter was not his doing, he also secretly pushed it, otherwise why do you think that when you guys came out at that time it went so smoothly, that was on purpose, he had long seen that Mary was not in a good mood."

Zoey stared at him for half a day, and suddenly deflated, "So anyone can see that she's a bad person, but I didn't, I'm the only one who's stupid!"

It turns out that Rongming knew all about it when the two of them escaped at the time, but just didn't make a sound about it, and even secretly helped out, just hoping that Mary would get her killed.

These people are all really scary and sinister.

And myself, really stupid crying.

Ji Huai Zhi comforted her, "It's fine, you're just being kind, in that situation at that time, seeing a little girl come to help you, no one would be suspicious, after all, it's not like you've seen her before."

"No, I still feel too stupid for you to comfort me, I really deserved to fall into the water!" She rolled over on the bed in depression and sighed, "And she was spouting some bullshit about how she'd seen you before so she came to repay the favor and all that crap, and I bought it!" 3
