Davin snorted before he smacked his palm on the table. “Here’s some terrible news for you! You’ve got
the wrong guess! I am one of the relatives of the owner of this clinic.”
Both acupuncturists were dumbfounded.
A family member!
Is this man the rich man who we were talking about?
“Are you really a family member of the clinic’s owner?”
“Don’t question me any further! Let’s talk about what you’ve done.”
The two instantly understood what Davin was referring to. They quickly shut their mouths, determined
not to speak another word about the other clinic.
Seeing their silence, Davin soon took out the ace that was in his sleeve.
Smack! He slammed a bank card onto the table.
“Here’s five hundred thousand. Answer my questions, okay?”
Five hundred thousand?
The two acupuncturists’ interests were piqued. Five hundred thousand was a tempting amount to them.
It was an opportunity for the two greedy acupuncturists and they were not about to let it slip past them.
“The money isn’t enough to be split between the both of us.”
“That’s right. You’re giving us only one card to share amongst the both of us! You don’t look like someone
who is short of money. I’m sure you that you wouldn’t mind giving us another?”
Davin grinned as he slammed a second card onto the table. Then, he looked at them sincerely. “One for
each of you. Is that enough?”
With bright eyes, the two immediately agreed, “Ask away. We’ll be certain to answer every question that
you ask of us.”
“Why are you stealing clients from this clinic for the other one? What benefits are you receiving?”
“We’re receiving ten thousand a month.”
“I won’t have to do anything.”
Both acupuncturists gave him different answers.
Davin pondered on their words before he nodded. “That sounds about right. You’ll get ten thousand for
doing that, and since all the clients have left this place, you wouldn’t need to do anything here too.
Meanwhile, Ms. Lane is still paying your wages. The two of you are quite witty.”
“This isn’t our plan. It’s the plan of the one who is giving us money.”
“What’s the name of the person who is paying you?”
“We don’t know the person’s name.”
“We only know his address.”
“Yes. Walk ahead for five hundred meters, then make a turn at the corner. Walk for another two hundred
meters, and you’ll spot an obvious large sign. That’s the place.”
Davin shot the two acupuncturists a satisfied grin. Then, he reached out to take the two cards on the
table.
“Alright. I understand. You can leave now.”
The two acupuncturists were shocked.
“You’d promised to give us five hundred thousand each. How can you go back on your words?” the two
protested when they saw Davin retrieving his cards.
“You’re still thinking about money? Alright. I’ve recorded what you’ve said earlier. If you want the money,
you’ll have to follow me to the clinic that you were talking about for a confrontation first.”
Confrontation.
The two hesitated.
What if we refuse to admit to doing it?
Davin seemed like an unreliable man, and his demeanor made the two acupuncturists feel rather
unconfident in his suggestion.
“Will you give us the money if we come with you?”
“It depends on how clear your explanations are. It’ll depend on my mood too.”
It was then that they realized that Davin had never planned on giving them any money.
They had been fooled, but voicing out Davin’s trickery would mean that they were merely voicing out
their misdeeds. Hence, they could only take their leave resentfully.
After locking up the clinic, Davin drove toward the other clinic that the two had told him about.
After a long period of investigation, Davin finally discovered the identity of the person who was targeting
Nicole.
Thus, he took out his phone to call Evan.
Evan, who was making a fruit platter for Nicole, immediately answered Davin’s call.
“Evan, I have the results of the investigation. The one who is targeting Nicole is someone who you’re
acquainted with.”
“Who is it?”
“Levant.”
“It’s him?”
“Yes. I’m guessing that he’s trying to force Nicole back to K Nation by making it tough for her to survive
here. Or maybe he’s afraid that she’ll be too tired. He has stolen all of her clients from her clinic!”
