When Ariah pushed open the door and walked in, she saw Jimmy seated on a chair in repose with his eyes closed. It has only been a night since she last met him, but he already had stubbles all over his chin, like how a bamboo shoot after a rain.
"Ahem."
Since Ariah saw that his eyes were still closed, she could only clear her throat to attract his attention.
With a frown, Jimmy opened his eyes. The moment he saw her, he was stunned. "It's you?"
"Or else who do you think it would be?" Calmly, Ariah pulled out a chair and sat down across from him.
With a smile, Jimmy answered, "Oh, nobody..."
"Hm?" However, Ariah didn't believe it.
Then, Jimmy had to tell the truth. "I thought it would be the policeman who interrogated me today. They already came once at noon, so I thought it was them again this time."
Immediately, Ariah understood what was going on. Suddenly, she thought of something and became a little anxious, "They won't try to torture you to make you confess to false charges, right?" "Is this what your mind thinks about every day?" At that moment, Jimmy didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Look at me. Do I look like I've been tortured?"
Although he had stubbles, and he seemed tired, it was obvious that he didn't have any physical injuries.
Therefore, Ariah shook her head, "It doesn't seem like it."
"You're right," Patiently, Jimmy explained to her, "It's just their workflow, and they'll definitely come to me for an interrogation. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
It was impossible for Ariah not to worry. In a place like this, as long as Jimmy stayed there, she would definitely be worried.
Immediately, Jimmy knew what she was thinking, so he looked down and smiled. "Look at me, don't you think I'm fine now? Even you can go in and out freely. If anything really did happen to me, do you think you would be treated like this?"
When Ariah heard what he said, she couldn't help but laugh. How could his mental state be better than hers?
Then, she placed the food that she brought over on the table in front of him and said, "Ben said that you hadn't eaten anything yet. These are all your favorite food. Eat it." "I'm not in the mood to eat..."
"What did you just say?" Directly, Ariah looked at him.
As Jimmy shook his head and laughed, he answered, "Give it to me. I'll eat it."
That was more like it.
After Ariah placed the food and the cutleries on the table and watched as Jimmy started to eat the food, only she was satisfied.
"Oh right, there's something I wanted to tell you." When Ariah thought of Kobi, she hurriedly said, "His surgery was very successful, and he's no longer in danger."
"Do you think I would need to wait for you to come and tell me about this?" Happily, Jimmy laughed.
ANnoyed, Ariah rolled her eyes at him, "Was it David who told you?"
"They received a call from the hospital last night, and it was Ben who came in and told me about it."
"Oh, I see."
It made sense. Even if she had forgotten about such an important matter, David would definitely not forget about it.
A moment later, Jimmy looked up and saw that Ariah was thinking about something. Then, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is there something that you want to say?"
In a low voice, Ariah asked, "Why are you so smart?"
"Tell me about it."
Then, Ariah told Jimmy what she had in mind, "The reason why I came here today was not only to tell you about Kobi because I also have something else to tell you."
"What is it?"
"I found out a secret when I was at the hospital today."
"A secret?"
"Yes." With a nod, Ariah continued, "It's about Kobi."
Immediately, Kevin's eyes widened. "Kobi..."
Meanwhile, Kobi held the mask in his hand and looked at Kevin, who was lying on the bed, with an indifferent expression. "Why are you so surprised? You didn't expect that I would come to see you?"
If it weren't for the fact that Kevin couldn't move because of his current condition, he would have already jumped up from the bed.
Never had he thought that he would fall into Kobi's hands!
"Why did you do that?" At that moment, Kevin's eyes were blood red, and he asked with his teeth clenched.
Then, Kobi's lips curled into a smile. "Since you're so curious, then I shall let you know what's going on. Since the start, I had never thought of cooperating with you, and I just wanted to use your hands to get rid of Jimmy. However, it's a pity that you don't have the ability to do so. Even after dealing with him for so long, you still couldn't get rid of him!"
"That's why I started to think that it would be faster for me to do it myself than to wait for you. In the end, I came up with a plan to kill him through your hands!"
"First, I asked you to disguise as me and head over. Then, I fed you the potion. Once you were unconscious, I called Jimmy over, successfully hypnotized him, and asked him to kill you. After that, I cleaned all my traces in the house and let the neighbors who had heard the commotion inform the police. When the police arrived, they witnessed that Jimmy was committing murder. So even if they were to find some other loopholes in this incident, Jimmy would never be able to escape."
After Kobi explained, he pulled out a chair and sat down as he raised his eyebrows to look at Kevin, who was so angry that his facial features were distorted. "Kevin, what do you think of my plan? Wasn't it perfect?"
It was more than perfect!
In fact, he was killing two birds with one stone!
First, Kobi used Jimmy to kill Kevin. Then, he left Jimmy to be arrested by the police. Now, Jimmy was trapped in a situation where he could never turn the tables.
It was stupendous!
With just one move, Kobi was able to get rid of two people!
At that moment, Kevin couldn't help but admire this man. As a matter of fact, Kobi was so scheming that Kevin didn't even notice it.
"However, it's such a pity..." Suddenly, Kobi sighed and shook his head in disappointment. "I've got everything covered, but I've never expected you to be so lucky that you survived!"
