Chapter 48: Check! (2/2)

”…..”

”Haiiiii?” She faced him with a sizeable question mark on her face. why would he transfer the money? Isn't it should be the other way?

”Remember I mentioned a doctor who stood me up on this case? It was Minister Gu who requested for him. He charges one million per hour and had dedicated eight hours before vanishing all of a sudden. Such unprofessional behavior! I'm not giving him a single penny this time. All this money goes to you now.” She took the seriousnessof his tone, sending a shiver of awareness and guilt through her. ”Btw, have you ever heard of Zz,”

”NO!” Instantly, she turned away from him. If a moment ago she was torn between wanting to savor the hot chocolate or inhale it, now everything seems bitter.

He took a deep breath, put his cup down before he caught her by the elbow, and looked deep into her eyes. ”I don't talk in a roundabout way. Let me ask straight…. Are you Zz?”

Silence ensued for a minute….

Before it broke by her chortle.....

”You are mistaking me for someone. It's the first time I heard this name. Who is he?” It took all her will power to remain calm as she forced herself not to move away or give him the reaction that would reveal the truth.

”Then how did you know it was Gu Feng's parents who asked for MRI? It was not mentioned in the reports. Other than me and Zz, no third person knew about it. Do you want me to recall your exact words?”

[It was a simple case of dehydration, that's why he collapsed during sex but his PARENTS SCREWED EVERYTHING]

She froze.

Shoot! She was so cautious every time but did such a blunder in her momentary excitement. But still… it was not a enough reason to let Wang Shi ask her directly. Was he suspicious of her from the beginning?

How?

Where had she dropped the clue? Did he get suspicious in the car?

Mortified by his sudden question her expression turned serious, ”I remember you mention it before,”

”Nope. Never.”

Wuxiaworld for visiting.

”This talk won't go anywhere. I'm rooting you mentioned it to me. Hundred percent!” She tried to walk away from there, but he stood firmly. ”Wang Shi!?”

He started counting on fingers.....

”First- in the car when I messaged Zz, your phone buzzed. Check!

Second- CCTV footage of the press conference. Unedited. Raw. Timings of Zz and my conversation matches. Check!

Third- Zz got a sprained ankle and you too. Check!

Fourth- he's unreachable after our last interaction. Your phone is dead as well. Check!

Fifth- At different times, I heard a man calling both you and Zz with the name Susu. Check!

Sixth- And…. that man's voice was the same at both times. Double-check!”

Her lips pursed into a thin line as she took a few deep breaths to calm down first. Dammit! She has to!

When did Wang Shi and James talked? When did James called her Susu in front of him? Why the f*ck James mentioned nothing to her??
