“I really don’t know anything, please, just let me go!” The young nurse begged on her knees.
Evan said, “She’s very stubborn, won’t say a word.”
Elijah sneered at the young nurse, his face cold and mocking, “Stubborn? I don’t believe it. There’s no mouth that can’t be opened. If it can’t be opened, it just means the method used is wrong.”
Evan said, “Fine, leave it to me. Within ten minutes, I’ll make her talk.”
He gestured, “Bring her in…”
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk.” The young nurse realized that these people were not to be messed with.
If she didn’t speak, she would inevitably suffer.
She had graduated from college and interned at the hospital, later becoming a real nurse, but she had never really suffered during this time, so she couldn’t handle physical abuse.
If she didn’t speak now, she would only suffer more later.
“Speak!” Evan crouched down, staring at her. “You’re smart, if you wait any longer, you’ll really regret it.”
The young nurse shrank back, “Someone gave me money to give that surgery patient a glass of water, the water was given to me by him.”
“Who is he?”
“I don’t know him.” Afraid that Evan wouldn’t believe her, she added, “I really don’t know who he is. He just told me that as long as I handed the water over, he’d give me three hundred thousand. The money was too much, so I just did as they said.”
Evan showed the nurse a few managers from Ono’s side, “Is there anyone here who bribed you?”
The young nurse looked over them and shook her head, “No.”
Then she added, “There really isn’t anyone here, the person who gave me the water was very thin, with lots of freckles on his face.”
Evan didn’t press her further. “You can go, but you can’t leave Urbora City. I need to see you, you must be able to appear before me at any time.”
The young nurse cautiously asked, “If I tell everything I know, will I be in danger?”
Evan took a deep breath. “I don’t know if you’ll be in danger, but I do know you’ll go to jail. The water you gave was poisoned, and the patient’s death was because of the water you handed over.”
The young nurse collapsed, her legs weak. “P-poisoned?”
“Yes, if it was just plain water, would someone pay three hundred thousand? Deep down, you know it too, don’t you?” Evan had his men take her home.
Now they had to find the person who gave the young nurse the water.
With Ono Pharmaceutical and the young nurse as leads, they had a place to start investigating.
Elijah returned to the car.
Freya asked, “Did you find out everything?”
Elijah replied, “There’s still one crucial person missing, Evan’s checking on it.”
“I received another subpoena from the court today.” Freya said, “The director’s son has sued me again.”
Elijah’s face darkened, tired of the director’s son.
A confused, irrational person!
“I’ll have the lawyer deal with it, you don’t have to appear in court for now.”
Freya nodded.
“Should I take you home?” Elijah asked.
Freya thought for a moment. “To the hotel… No, let’s go to the research institute.”
She had received a message from Neo, they all wanted to see her.
They wanted to know the cause of the director’s death.
Elijah drove her there.
…
When they arrived at the institute, Freya had Neo call everyone to the meeting room.
Soon everyone had gathered.
After everyone was present, Lane spoke first, “What really happened with the director’s death? I heard from the hospital that the director died from lack of blood supply to the heart. Is it possible that our artificial heart isn’t mature enough and can’t be used on humans?”
Freya assured everyone, “It’s not.”
