    The two of them sat in the nanny car.


    Kevin rk arranged the food boxesyer byyer on the tableboard. There were fish, meat, shrimp, soup, and even cut fruits, including grapes peeled off.


    “Give me your hand, I want to check it.” Kevin rk said.


    Daisy Zane extended her hand to him, nced at his eyes to find that the corners of his eyes were once again reddened. He hadn’t got a good rest.


    Kevin rk held her wrist and pressed it. The swelling had subsided significantly: “Does it still hurt?”


    “No pain.” Daisy Zane replied, holding a fork in her left hand, and ate a grape.


    Kevin rk nced at her, doubting her two-word response: “You still need to apply the medicine.”


    “Hmm.”


    He didn’t quite believe her, so he added: “I will remind you when it’s time.”


    Daisy Zane chewed the grapes in her mouth slowly, looking at Kevin rk.


    Normally, she wouldn’t care much about such a slight injury. It’s just that she didn’t care much when Kevin rk told her to apply the medicine twice a day, morning and night.


    Kevin rk seemed to see through her thoughts, so that night, he called her exactly at eight o’clock to remind her to take the medicine.


    Daisy Zane agreed, but Kevin rk insisted on waiting until she finished applying the medicine before hanging up the phone.


    That night, it took her more than ten minutes to find the two tubes of ointment, which finally turned up in theundry basket.


    She didn’t notice when she was sorting out the clothes, and the tubes of medicine were tossed inside with the clothes.


    After that day, Kevin rk started to video call her promptly at eight, morning and night, watching her apply the medicine.


    “Is the grape sweet?” Kevin rk put his hand back on her leg.


    “Hmm.”


    Kevin rk gave a small smile and handed her the chopsticks: “Eat first.”


    Daisy Zane took the chopsticks, took a bite of her meal, and after swallowing, she asked, “Are you done with work?”


    “Not yet.” Kevin rk carefully removed the fish bones for her. Hearing her question, the corners of his mouth slightly turned upward, “In two days’ time, I have managed to interrogate the arrested persons around the clock. However, no valuable information has been obtained.’


    Daisy Zane paused her hand for a moment, she didn’t expect him to share so much with her.


    Kevin rk put some vegetables on her te and continued, “On that night at the brick factory, a total of six trucks unloaded fourteen boxes of goods. The six drivers who were responsible for the transportation came from six different viges, and they did not know each other.”


    Daisy Zane frowned slightly.


    “Eat your meal while listening, otherwise it will get cold.” Kevin rk said.


    Daisy Zane put the fish in her mouth and chewed slowly.


    “ording to their ount, three years ago, someone suddenly came to their vige and contacted them. They were told to wait in the vige. If someone came to them with a truck, they would drive the truck to a designated location.” Kevin rk said. “And once theypleted a trip, they would be rewarded


    50,000 USD.”


    “Did you check their vige?”


    “Yes.” Kevin rk put on disposable gloves and started to peel the shrimp. “All six viges were investigated. They are all at the same economic level and have no surveince systems. After inquiring around, the vigers could not provide any unusual information. The only thing they knew was that the household responsible for the transport business was quite wealthy.”


    “It’s normal for the countryside tock surveince systems, and for them to have a transport business. Moreover, no one would pay much attention if an extra truckes or goes in the vige… what about the license te number of the truck?” Daisy Zane said.


    “There was no license te number.” Kevin rk replied. “ording to their ounts, when the truck was handed to them, it had no license te number. Furthermore, these six viges and Red Cliff vige are connected through small and even dirt paths. There were not only no CCTV cameras, but there were also no traffic lights on the roads.”


    “It’s their painstaking efforts to carefully select, n, and deploy.” Daisy Zane said with a cold voice.


    “There is only so much they confessed.” Kevin rk said, “Currently, it seems that the only thing that can be done is to keep investigating.”


    “Before that batch of goods got into their hands, it must have passed through countless hands, turned over numerous locations and viges.” Daisy Zane poked at the rice in her bowl. “Who knows how many more groups of six people like them are out there handlingyer afteryer of work, and how many more locations are there like Red Cliff Vige.”


    It would take forever to wait for a thorough investigation.


    Kevin rk looked at her. Daisy Zane was very rational with clear logic. This rationality of hers gave him an extreme sense of feeling that it was as if she was emotionless.


    Daisy looked up at him, their eyes meeting. Kevin’s eyebrows rose slightly, he looked at her openly, a smile in his eyes, appearing to be full of interest in her.


    After a few seconds of their gaze locking, Daisy shifted her gaze and asked, “Where are the others? I saw a box of reports in the basement, who wrote them?”


    “This honest?” Kevinughed.


    “Not really.” Daisy met his eyes again, “You discovered it yourself.”


    Kevin rkughed again, but there was no amusement in his gaze; His nce skipped over her wrist and he said, “A group specifically recording reactions to the drug injection. They have some medical background, all of them are risk-takers who value money over their lives. They are obedient and don’t know anything.”


    Daisy lowered her gaze to her food and did not speak again.


    “Those reports were about to be transported away, but they were just intercepted,” Kevin said, “Would you like to take a look? I will let them submit them in a few days.”


    Daisy raised her head to look at him, obviously scrutinizing him.


    But Kevin just met her gaze openly, calm as ever.


    After a while, Daisy stated directly, “I need to adjust the schedule with the director. ”


    “Um.” Kevin said, “Let me know when you’ve settled the schedule, I will pick you up.”


    As the female lead was finally established, Serena Buster signed a contract at the fastest speed and started filming.


    To make up for the scenes of the female lead, Daisy had to work through the night; after that, the director gave her a break.


    To put it nicely, they were letting her rest, but not so nicely, they were rushing to film the female lead’s scenes, so she was not needed anymore.


    So, Daisy returned to Truro City the morning after filming had wrapped up.


    She left at 8 0’clock in the morning, it was a little over four-hour drive, but she was stuck in traffic for two hours. By the time she arrived at Evesting Pce, it was already past three in the afternoon.


    Exiting the elevator, Daisy stood at the entrance of her door trying her fingerprint to unlock it. It didn’t open even after trying three times. Then she tried the password, but the password was incorrect.


    Daisy:


    She pressed the doorbell twice, no one answered from her side of the house, but there was the sound of a door opening from across the hall.


    Daisy turned around.


    Kevin, in his house clothes, looked somewhat surprised to see her, and lightly teased, “What’s up, can’t get into your own house?”


    Daisy removed her mask and pulled out her cell phone, saying, “James Collins deleted my fingerprint and changed the password.”


    Kevin kept a straight face as he pursed his lips, realizing the man had really made himself at home. He walked closer and asked, “Isn’t heing back tomorrow?”


    “Yes, one of the scenes got canceled, and I came back early.” Daisy said and then dialed James Collins’s number.


    James answered the phone rather quickly which allowed Kevin to hear him excitedly yell “Sister” on the other end.


    But… Daisy tried the new password James gave her three times, and it was wrong each time.


    “James.” Daisy lightly called his name.


    “Sister, sister, calm down, I’ll think, I’ll think about it.” James exined, “I was drunk that night, I can’t remember it very well. Let me think.”


    Then James gave her another set of numbers, and even after Daisy input them, it was still incorrect.


    As the incorrect password prompt entered the phone, James’s heart went cold. Before Daisy said anything, he conceded, “Sister! I was wrong! Wrong! I really…”


    “Where are you?” The question was cold and resonant.


    “I am not in Truro City.”


    Daisy immediately hung up the phone.


    Kevin was standing not far behind her, a slight smile crept onto his face. He picked up her suitcase and gently said, “Come to my ce first, rest for a while.”


    Suppressing the urge to kick the door, Daisy took a light breath and replied, “Sure..”
