“Heh.” Winnie walked toward the bed and kicked Yulissa hatefully. “My glass of water comes with a price.”
The condominium was on the thirty-second floor of the building. Winnie glanced at the vicious woman lying unconscious and glanced at the glass window to the balcony.
If she wanted revenge, all she had to do was to throw her off the building.
However, she was a woman of principle and integrity, unlike the heartless witch in front of her eyes. Thus, she didn't.
Instead, she calmly took out a syringe from the first aid box and extracted a tube of blood from Yulissa.
While drawing blood from Yulissa, she noticed bruises and injection marks on her arm. She immediately knew that Yulissa used to regularly do intravenous injections by herself like a seasoned drug addict.
After putting away the blood sample, Winnie took out her phone and took photos of Yulissa's face and arm.
Then, she made a phone call to her good friend.
“Lucas, are you busy? Can you track down a person for me?”
Lucas was about to lose his mind on the other end of the phone call. “Young lady, why are you always tracking down people? Tell me, which of the Fairchild family members are you looking for this time?”
“It's not the Fairchild family this time.”
“Well, that would be a problem.”
“How so?” Winnie walked out with the first aid box in one hand, and because she was holding her phone in the other, she left the door ajar when closing the door with her feet.
“Because I'm at the airport right now, and I'm about to board the plane. Thanks to you, I'm now very familiar with the Fairchild family. If you want to look up someone from the Fairchild family, I can send you plenty of information in a matter of minutes. But now that you've changed your target, I have to start from scratch.”
“Fine.” Winnie frowned slightly. “It's not urgent. Just let me know once you're done with your business.”
“Don't do that. I know you're tempting me. Come on, who are you looking for this time?”
Winnie chuckled. “You heard it. You're the one who couldn't wait to help me.”
“Cut the crap and get to the point.”
“Okay. To be honest, I don't even know who I'm looking for.”
“Are you making fun of me?” Lucas was on the verge of losing his temper. “I'm going to block you!”
“Don't! I want you to recommend someone because I don't know who to look for. I need someone who's upright, trustworthy, and brave enough to fight against criminals.”
“What!” Lucas was shocked. “Upright and brave enough to fight criminals? What are you trying to be? The police?”
“Not that far. Listen, something happened, and I need this person right now. An illustrious narcotics officer would be best.”
“What a coincidence. I happen to know a friend, and I don't even need to look him up. I can give you his number right now.”
“Really? Who is he?”
“He's the captain of the Narcotics Enforcement Department of Avenport, Christopher Bennett.”
“Is he reliable?”
“I guarantee there's no one more upright, brave, and reliable than him.”
“Great. Hook us up. Tell him I have a lead and want to make a report.”
“A report?” Lucas couldn't hold in his laughter. “Is it about your enemy?”
“What do you think? Give me his number. Hurry!”
Soon, Winnie received the message from Lucas.
