Chapter 1283

“Brother Sid Quant, why aren’t you back yet? It’s almost nine o’clock… I’ve put the food in the pot to keep it warm. What do you want?”

Sid Quant walked out of the private room with his phone.

“Mango, I won’t be going home tonight. Rest well alone. You still have the morning shift tomorrow. Don’t worry about me.

“Aren’t you coming back?”

“Yes, I’m staying outside today. Then that’s all for now. I won’t talk to you for now.”

As Sid Quant spoke, he hung up the phone and returned to the private room.

“Come, elders, let me toast the two of you again. Thank you for educating Xiao Wen so well. If not for Xiao Wen, I, Sid Quant, would probably be dead by now…”

Sid Quant.

Mandy Spence looked at the hung-up phone and felt a little uneasy.

Could it be that Sid Quant had noticed something and was not going home?

If that’s the case… Mandy Spence looked coldly at the items in the living room and a hint of ruthlessness flashed past her eyes.

At that moment, an entertainment message automatically popped up on her phone.

She didn’t watch such things, but this time, Sid Quant’s name appeared on the news.

Her eyelids twitched, and she clicked on it.

She saw a photo of Sid Quant hugging a female celebrity intimately.

The entertainment reporters’ storytelling techniques were top-notch, and they vividly described the scene.

Mandy Spence’s cold eyes froze for a moment before she relaxed.

Janet Murphy had told her that Sid Quant was a person who spent most of his time in “flowers”.

Combined with what Sid Quant said on the phone, she heaved a sigh of relief.

It was not because he had discovered her identity, but because she was at home. It was not appropriate for him to bring a woman back, so he did not sleep at home at night.

The ruthlessness in her eyes quickly faded and she returned to her room to rest.

On the other side, Melody Fox quickly arrived at Ximber Tech and met up with James Deeds.

She went straight to the point and asked, “Did something happen to those people?”

James Deeds said with a serious expression, “All of them. Those whose names have been circled have all met with mishaps.”

As he spoke, he lowered his head in self-reproach. “I’m sorry, Miss Fox. I didn’t do my job well. Please punish me! I won’t have any complaints.”

Melody Fox shook his head. “It’s not your fault. Looking at the situation, it should be Jennie Taylor who personally took action. No matter how much you guard against someone like her, you won’t be able to defend against her. Now that you’re talking about punishment, it’s better to atone for your crimes and make up for it.”

“Tell me! What do you need me to do?”

“Take me to one of the houses first. Since their symptoms are similar, they should be the same poison.”

“Yes. I’ll find a suitable-“

Soon, James Deeds selected a suitable person.

“This person is called Jingcheng. He’s not a local from Silverlake. He lives in a rented house alone. Because he tried to come to Ximber Techspaghetti before, he has seen me before. It should be easier for him to trust us.”

“Okay, let’s set off now.”

“Yes!”

James Deeds drove personally and arrived at the rented house in Jing City after Fox.

His conditions didn’t seem very good. The rented apartment was very simple and small. He could turn around and bump into another person. There were newspapers on the wall to block the moldy wall spaghetti. However, he had tidied up the rental house very well.

However, his physical condition was very bad. It seemed to have taken all his strength to pour them a glass of water. Just as James Deeds had said, they quickly gained Jingcheng’s trust.

Melody Fox did not hide the current situation.

When Jing Cheng found out, he clenched his fists tightly. “Damn it! They actually used such despicable methods to get rid of competitive people like us! Aren’t they afraid of going to jail?!”

Melody Fox shook his head gently. “Everything depends on evidence. Even if we know their motive, it’s useless if we can’t produce evidence.”

“Isn’t the poison in my body evidence?”

“Then can you prove that she was the one who poisoned him?”

“Jing Cheng was at a loss for words.

He did not even know that he had been poisoned. The people he had interacted with in the past two days were all people he could usually come into contact with. He could not guess who had a problem.

Melody Fox looked at Jingcheng’s expression and shook his head again, saying, “The most important thing now is to heal your body first. Stretch out your hand…”

Jing Cheng looked at the beautiful woman in front of spaghetti hesitantly.

“Even the hospital said that they can’t cure me. Can you cure my poison?”

James Deeds came in handy here in time.

Under his persuasion, Jingcheng became convinced of Melody Fox’s medical skills and took the initiative to extend his hand.

Two minutes later.

Melody Fox said, “It’s indeed poisoned. This is a poison made from extracting more than ten types of poisonous mushrooms. It can make the poisoned person feel exhausted for a short period of time until they can’t even stand up. They will lose the ability to take care of themselves. However, the good news is that it’s not fatal. Moreover, it lasts for Fox hours. It can heal itself in a month at most.”

Jing Cheng suddenly looked up.

“A month? Then wouldn’t I have to miss the assessment… The schedule of the assessment will be in these two days.”

“I know.” Melody Fox patted Jingcheng’s shoulder. “I’ll prescribe medicine for you to detoxify the poison in your body. However, you have to listen to my arrangements from now on.”

Jing Cheng glanced at James Deeds and finally nodded. Alright, I’ll listen to you!”

After leaving Jingcheng’s house, Melody Fox returned to Herbathrive.

At Herbathrive, only the people on duty were there.

It just so happened that David Marrow was on duty today.

When he saw Melody Fox coming over, he went forward in surprise.

“Miss Fox? How did you…”

Melody Fox directly handed the pre-written prescription to David Marrow.

“Go prepare the medicine and produce 30 portions.”

David Marrow’s eyes widened.

“How, how many?”

“Thirty. You didn’t hear wrong. Hurry up and go!”

“Who, who is this for? It’s not for one person, right?”

“No, it’s for ten people.”

David Marrow nodded. When he saw Melody Fox’s serious expression, he did not dare to ask further. He took the prescription and brewed the medicine.

Fortunately, the medicine was now semi-automated and did not need anyone to keep an eye on it.

After getting 30 portions of the sealed medicinal liquid, Melody Fox was called to James Deeds.

“Here’s the chance to make up for your mistakes. Send it to those ten people. One bag per meal. After drinking three bags, the poison will be removed. Also, you have to tell them all the conditions I told Jingcheng.”

“You mean… let them continue to pretend to be sick until the day of the assessment?”

“That’s right.”

The main thing was to catch them off guard.

“Yes! I understand. I’ll do it now!”

He could leave the matter to James Deeds, and Melody Fox.

She patted David Marrow’s shoulder. “You’ve worked hard. Go to sleep. I’m leaving.”

“Yes.” David Marrow nodded and did not forget to ask, ” Miss Fox, it’s not a big deal, right?”

“It’s neither too big nor too small, but it can be resolved.”

“That’s good. Then I’ll go to bed.”

“Go on, I’m leaving.”

Melody Fox patted David Marrow’s shoulder again and turned to leave.

David Marrow rubbed his shoulders in embarrassment.

After Miss Fox became beautiful, he was really not used to it. He did not even dare to look at her directly.
