Chapter 33: Castrated (1/2)

After a few hours

”Whiz, it's been entire night, and the case is unsolved. I'm tired,” Wang Shi heard Zz's exhausted voice, a little deep but with a touch of softness and calm. Though he was not there, he could feel Zz had started to doze off. ”I've an urgent work to do today, won't be able to talk until lunch. If there's any finding, drop a message at portal.”

”En I'll keep Gu Feng stable, and will inform you as soon as the reports come out. Let's-”

”Susu. Help. My body hurts,” A man's voice echoed from Zz's side. With the low gruttal of his voice he seemed to be in pain, but what triggered Wang Shi was the familiarity of his voice and the name 'Susu'.

Wang Shi's brows knitted together, trying to recall where he had heard it before. Maybe it could help him reach this mysterious man Zz.

”Evan is a beast.. Check me, give me medicine..I'm going to die.” Wang Shi heard the same voice again; the more he heard the more it seemed familiar. Some people have a distinguished voice and James's adenoidal voice belongs to that category.

”Wait for me in your room, I'll be there in a minute HEYYYY.” He heard a muffled voice of Zz, probably he covered the mic but soon a shrill came that almost convinced Wang Shi to take off the Bluetooth device. If it was not for him looking for Zz's identity he wouldn't be so shameless to eves-drop on their conversation.

”No You come with me right now. After sending me to a beast's den you trying to run away from responsibility. No! Never!” The voices become clear again, ; Zz must have dropped the mic. He heard some shuffling sounds, foot-steps and Zz's protesting, ”No. wait let me turn off the system. I wa-” Everything cut off.

Wang Shi checked his phone, which displayed 'connection interrupted'

”Sir,” Daiyu pushed opened the door in panic, ”Connection interrupted but everything's working fine at our end. Do you want me to re-establish?”

”No Zz ended it; he seems to be busy,” Wang Shi takes off the Bluetooth device, ”Any progress?”

Daiyu, ”Not much. But surprisingly, Zz is not in Country T anymore, this time he connected through Imperial city.”

Wang Shi's eyes narrowed as he rested his elbow at the table, supporting his face at clasped hands. ”Hm.Keep looking.”

At James's apartment

”Ahh Jammie. My devices.” Suyin looked at the equipment hanging in the air, still attached to her laptop by the cord as James pressed the shutdown button before dragging her to his room.

”Treat me first everything hurts. My thighs, calf, waist, back, bum and my d-”

”SHUT UP! TOO MUCH INFO!” Suyin covered James's mouth before he could utter another word. This version of James's was like a baby looking for a mother's love and comfort, acting all pity and complaining. ”Get into the blanket, I'll get the medicines.”

”What about these red spots on my body? It's everywhere, even on my-”

”YOU BAKA! One more word and I'll call Evan.” Her threat worked like magic and James dived under the blanket, ”IDIOT, I was on chat with Dr. Whiz and you not only disrupted me but took my name. WHERE THE HELL IS THE FIRST-AID KIT? You never keep things organised!” She shouted upon not finding the first-aid kit in the side drawer.

*BANG*

James flinch hearing the noise of drawer shut. ”I-it's in the other drawer, you're looking at the wrong place. And how would I know you were on a chat with Whiz. Oww.w... my body. you sent me to that beastly Evan? Bad friend, bad”

”HmpfDon't argue,”

*BANG*

*BASH*

*THUMP*

*CRASH*

He heard few more noises.
