Chapter 45 Together?
“Levi? What are you looking at!?”
After she said a few words without getting a response, Amelia looked up and saw Levi’s gaze looking at a box.
Instinctively, she craned her head to look and caught a glimpse of the woman sitting lazily in the box.
The woman looked lazy, wearing an ordinary T-shirt and jeans, her black hair was casually tied up in a ponytail, looking clean. Amelia only took a glance, subconsciously pinching her palm, her face became grim.
How could it be that woman?
When Amelia saw Ruby, she was flustered, especially when she saw Levi looking at her.
“Levi, I, I suddenly feel sick, why don’t we go back, I don’t want to eat.”
Amelia clung to Levi’s arm, her entire body almost pressed against his, and her tone anxious.
Only then did Levi withdrew his gaze, looking down at Amelia in front of him, only to find that she was pale and had cold sweat on her forehead, seemingly not really feeling too well.
He raised his hand to cover Amelia’s forehead, and seeing that her forehead was cold, he believed her words and his voice was gentle, “Okay, then we’ll come next time.”
“Well, I’m sorry, Levi, I, I didn’t expect to be sick all of a sudden.” With a guilty look on her face, Amelia was already pulling Levi out the door.
She couldn’t help but give Ruby an extra glance as she left, the panic in her heart didn’t go away.
How did this woman get here?
This private restaurant is not a place where she can reserve just because she has money, but Ruby appears here, does it mean that her identity is not simple?
She was afraid that Levi would see Ruby and recognize her, so she was so distracted on the way that she didn’t even react when Levi spoke to her.
Levi looked at Amelia thoughtfully, always feeling that she was not in her element today.
But when she didn’t answer, he could only let it go.
After sending Amelia back to the school and watching her get off and enter the campus, Levi waited at the entrance for a while before driving off.
She ate at Vincent’s and made an appointment with him for the time and place to deliver the medicine, and then Ruby left the private restaurant to go back to Shangcheng International.
On the way, Dr. Moore called her, reminding her of the interview the day after tomorrow. A new employee had come to the institute, and since she was going to be involved in Ruby’s experiment, she needed to come and determine the case.
Ruby promised again and again before hanging up, subconsciously looking up and rubbing her temples.
As the taxi just stopped at Shangcheng International, Ruby gave the fare to get off, and before she could stand still, her phone rang again.
She picked it up and glanced at it, it was an unfamiliar number, a call from Sea City.
She didn’t know many people in Sea City, so she stared at the number for a while before answering the phone.
“Hello, are you Kevin Harold ‘s parents? We are here from the Sea City Xialu Public Security Bureau, Kevin Harold is suspected of drug possession and is now detained here. He asked us to contact you to come and ransom him.” A serious and majestic voice rang out on the phone.
Ruby pursed her lips in silence for a long moment, contemplating how likely it was that the call was a scam call.
Kevin had only just returned to Sea City for two days, and although he was a dude on the surface, he was actually very shrewd, so how could he possibly do such a thing?
“I’ll be right over.” Ruby replied to the other party after only a slight moment of hesitation.
Whether it’s true or not, she’ll know when she goes over.
Sea City is huge and Xialu is one of the many jurisdictions.
Ruby took a taxi and went straight to the Xialu Branch.
In less than half an hour, the car stopped in front of the Xialu Branch
Ruby paid the fare, hurriedly got out of the car, and entered the Public Security Bureau at a fast pace.
Looking at Ruby, the people inside the Public Security Bureau who were still busy paused for a moment before someone came over to ask who she was looking for.
“May I ask if you have arrested a young man named Kevin Harold? I am his sister.” Ruby nodded politely at the other party before speaking.
“Kevin Harold.” The man looked at Ruby with a smirk before taking a file out, “Seventeen years old, drug possession, and possible drug trafficking. We have to detain him, and when he confesses who else is behind it, we will then consider whether to release him on bail.”
Ruby narrowed her eyes at the words, and at a glance, she knew that he was intentionally making things difficult.
“Can I meet him?” Ruby didn’t rush into the matter of bail, it was now imperative to find out what was going on first.
“Yes, half an hour visitation time. Louis, you take her in.”
A young police officer soon ran over and took Ruby into the Public Security Bureau’s guardhouse.
Ruby saw Kevin, who was injured, his white shirt was covered with blood, and the injury on his face looked serious. At this time, he looked up at Ruby when he saw Ruby come in, and again, he lowered his head, twisting the corner of his shirt with some uneasiness.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Ruby glanced at him, withdrew her gaze, and sat down across from him, tapping her fingers twice on the table, “Tell me, what’s going on.”
“Sister, I’ve been wrongly accused.” Kevin was anxious.
He felt really useless to be set up like that.
He had no evidence in his hand, and he couldn’t even defend himself, and he had to drag Ruby into it.
“Tell me the details, I want to know all the details of what happened.” Ruby looked at him, holding back her anger, and her tone not good.
Kevin thought that she was angry with himself, and he felt bad, but he didn’t dare to hide it, and honestly told Ruby all the things clearly.
Ruby listened without saying anything, and the guard came over to remind her that the visitation time was over.
Ruby pointed to the injury on Kevin’s face, her voice icy cold, “Who made it?”
“He got injured in a fight with someone, we are not obliged to care about that. Hurry up and get out, it’s time.” The guard had a bad attitude and reached out to push Ruby.
Before he could touch Ruby, Ruby moved, easily avoiding his hand, but smoothly clasping his wrist. With a force, the guard instantly cried out.
“Let go! Do you know what you’re doing? I can sue you for assaulting a police officer!”
Ruby smiled with hooked lips and raised her finger to point at the camera above, “There’s surveillance here, are you sure you want to sue me?”
Hearing Ruby’s words, that guard was instantly frightened, not daring to speak again.
Ruby pushed him away, gave Kevin another look, and coldly exited the Public Security Bureau.
Kevin still had to stay here, so she guessed someone was deliberately trying to set him up, or the other party’s target was not Kevin, but her.
After Ruby walked out of the Public Security Bureau, she called Vincent, “Do me a favor.”
