Inside the hospital.
Shanxia Junzi raised her palm, letting the female nurse insert an IV needle into her vein, as if she felt nothing at all, without any expression.
For a woman like her, such minor pain was really nothing.
On the nurse’s chest, the snake-shaped pendant had slipped out of her collar as she bent over, swaying gently in front of her eyes.
"This must have been given to you by your boyfriend?!" Shanxia Junzi feigned a gentle tone.
"Yes." The nurse adjusted her medicine tube, "All done, you can rest for a while now."
"Thank you!" Shanxia Junzi softly expressed her gratitude.
In a ward not far away, Leng Zirui leaned on the hospital bed, holding a laptop in his hands.
In the morning, under the pretense of examining Shanxia Junzi’s wounds, his people had moved her from the ward for half an hour. During this time, they installed surveillance cameras and listening devices in Shanxia Junzi’s room, aiming to find out why she was contacting the outside world.
From morning till now, it had been exactly three hours. Aside from the nurse coming in to give her the IV, Shanxia Junzi had been alone in the ward, not interacting with anyone.
Moving his fingers, he played back the footage of Shanxia Junzi and the nurse, replaying it repeatedly.
Based on yesterday’s situation, the only people who had contact with Shanxia Junzi were the doctor and this nurse, these two were the most suspicious people.
Noticing the snake-shaped pendant hanging from the nurse’s body in the footage, Leng Zirui suddenly sat up straight, replaying the segment once more. This time, he wasn’t looking at the pendant, but observing Shanxia Junzi’s gaze.
