Chapter 469
Ulric took out his phone, untied his mechanical leg, and called Janet back as he sat in the wheelchair to the manor.
On the other end of the line, Janet was getting more and more impatient. Just as she was about to call again, Ulric called.
She immediately picked up the call and asked unhappily,” Why did you take so long to call back?”
“I was dealing with some private matters just now. Why, is there something urgent, Miss Murphy?”
Janet took a deep breath and threw away the frustration in her heart. “Many places in Silverlake were on fire almost at the same time today. This was your doing, right?”
Before Ulric could answer, she said, “Forget it. You don’t have to answer this question. If you did it, then immediately erase all the surveillance cameras around the fire. Melody wants to check all the surveillance cameras. I don’t want to be implicated by you.”
“Melody?” Ulric was silent for two seconds before asking, ” Could it be her who hacked my hacker’s computer? The hacker I sent this time is a top international hacker. To be able to hack his computer means that the other party’s technology is far superior to my staff.”
“That’s right, but her hacking skills are very ordinary. I’m afraid Zack helped her back then, but she took all the credit.” Ulric frowned and said, “I’ve investigated Zack. He knows some hacking skills, but he doesn’t even have the ability of an ordinary professional hacker. With his ability, it’s impossible for him to defeat my hacker.”
Janet did not want to hear others praise Melody. She held her phone tightly with a dark expression and said, “I don’t care if her hacking ability is good or not. In short, you have to clean up your mess as soon as possible. The surveillance cameras at the Youth Center are a dead end, but Sid has already started to investigate the other places. You’d better move quickly!”
“Thank you for your reminder, Miss Murphy. I’ll make the arrangements now.”
Ulric hung up and turned to look at Daniel. “Do you know what to do?”
Daniel immediately replied, “I’ll get him to clean up all the surveillance cameras that he didn’t deal with.”
“Make sure you do it before Sid gets to it.”
“Yes!” After Daniel left, Ulric’s eyes narrowed coldly.
He thought, ‘If Melody’s hacking skills are really better than the top hacker I raised, then her value far exceeds my previous estimates.’
Ulric massaged his temples with a headache. In that case, he felt that it seemed a pity to get rid of Melody directly. After all, obtaining Melody was equivalent to having a hacker expert and a miracle doctor at the same time.
He found this to be a difficult choice.
Ulric snapped his fingers and called one of his subordinates over. “Mr. Swanson, what can I do for you?” “Send someone to the countryside where Melody lived and investigate how she learned her medical skills and hacking skills.”
“Yes!”

At the same time, Melody drove the sports car towards Herbathrive.
At this moment, the entrance of Herbathrive was filled with people.
A woman was crying and shouting, “Give me back my husband’s life!”
A passerby who had just passed by could not help but ask, What happened?”
The woman immediately said loudly, “My husband just had a heatstroke, but the doctor from Herbathrive actually treated him to death! Everyone, do you think this clinic is still qualified in that case?”
The passersby who had figured out the situation immediately started discussing.
A person asked, “How big of a deal is a heatstroke? They can actually cure someone to death. Who would dare to come here to check their illness?”
Another person said, “I always thought that Herbathrive was very reliable. I didn’t expect them to be so heartless! Quickly compensate her husband’s life and close the clinic!”
Someone else said, “That’s right! Herbathrive, close the shop immediately!”
David said with a pale face, “Don’t be confused! The heatstroke medicine we gave him is a traditional medicine. There are almost no side effects. Moreover, it’s sold on the market. There has never been such a medical accident. There must be a misunderstanding…”
“Misunderstanding?” The woman sneered. “He went in alive and kicking, and now he’s coming out unconscious. You’re telling me it’s a misunderstanding? My husband is already dead. How can this be a misunderstanding? You just don’t want to admit that the medicine you prescribed killed someone!”
The passersby quickly helped the woman accuse Herbathrive. “He’s still unwilling to admit it after his patient died. I think we should just call the police!”
A person said, “That’s right. Who knows if your Herbathrive is getting popular by selling illegal drugs?”
The patients in the clinic also felt apprehensive and shouted for a refund.
There were even people who came to Herbathrive for treatment a year ago who rushed over after hearing the news and wanted Herbathrive to return the money to them. It was appropriate to say that those people were just trying to get some benefits from the situation.
For a moment, Herbathrive became extremely chaotic.
David panicked. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a limited edition red sports car stop opposite the medical center.
He thought, ‘Miss Fox is here!’
David’s eyes lit up and he immediately waved at Melody.” Miss Fox! Over here!”
When the woman heard David’s words, she immediately looked in Melody’s direction. She turned around and met Melody’s cold eyes.
The moment their gazes met, the woman felt as if her entire body was frozen. For a moment, she even had the thought of escaping.
She thought, ‘This woman’s aura is too powerful!’
It was not until Melody walked from the opposite side to Herbathrive that the woman recovered from her fear. She stuttered and asked, “You’re Herbathrive’s boss?”
“That’s right.” Melody did not want this matter to bother Colin Herbert and Beverly Herbert. The two of them were still at the inpatient department, so she simply admitted that she was Herbathrive’s boss.
As soon as Melody said that, the people around her immediately exclaimed. “The boss of Herbathrive is actually so young? And the sports car she drives is expensive, right?”
A person said, “No wonder they killed one of their patients! How can she open a good clinic at such a young age?”
Another person said, “I remember that the boss of
Herbathrive was a man. It seems that the clinic has
changed owners, so the entire place is in chaos. That’s why this happened.”
Someone else said, “What a jinx! Why did she open a clinic at such a young age? Great, now she’s killed someone. I think she’ll spend the rest of her life in prison!”
When the woman heard that the people around her were helping her, the fear instantly dissipated. “Alright, since you’re the boss, compensate me for my husband’s life immediately! I want 20 million dollars, not a single cent less. Otherwise, I’ll call the police immediately!”
Melody ignored the surrounding voices and glanced at the woman indifferently. “Don’t worry. If the situation is true, I won’t give you a single cent less.”
“Of course it’s true. It was your doctor who killed my husband!”
Melody did not reply. She looked sideways and asked David, “Where’s the patient?”
As soon as Melody arrived, David seemed to have found
his backbone. Even his words became more confident. Over there!”
He pointed in a certain direction. A middle-aged man was lying upright on a stretcher. His face was pale. Melody walked towards the patient.
However, she had only taken two steps when the woman immediately blocked her way.
