Damian Knight shook his head with a smile: "You underestimate Master Jonah. Although I did call him, he clearly told over the phone that he wouldn’t accept dirty money like that. I was afraid that if I went in, Henry Stanton might suspect that I bribed Master Jonah, so I simply waited outside."
Sumr Monroe glanced at the intense sunlight and frowned, saying, "You should have co inside. The sun is harsh now, and you shouldn’t get sunstroke."
Damian Knight slightly raised an eyebrow and asked: "Can I take your words to an that you’re concerned about ?"
Sumr Monroe’s back stiffened, then she tried to appear as natural as possible, saying calmly, "Of course, we’re friends. You’re still my support. If I don’t care about you, who will?"
Damian Knight’s gaze darkened for a mont, but it quickly passed.
He laughed and said, "Yeah, as your support, I can’t fall. I have to protect you well."
As Damian Knight said this, Sumr Monroe rembered the real issue.
"My support, I genuinely have sothing I need your help with."
Damian Knight generously said, "Speak. Even if it’s the stars in the sky, I’ll pick them for you."
Sumr Monroe’s face reddened involuntarily, and she glared at Damian Knight, saying, "How co I never noticed you were so unserious before? I’m talking about sothing serious here."
Only then did Damian Knight straighten and ask, "What do you need my help with?"
"This." Sumr Monroe fished out a transparent plastic bag from her pocket, which contained a bit of sothing pitch black.
Damian Knight reached out to take it, asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Sumr Monroe frowned and said, "This is the dicine that Felix Jennings brought Stella Monroe every day when she was hospitalized. Although through Isaac Ross’s connections, I managed to get the remnants of the dicine from a nurse, Felix Jennings was very cautious, taking even the dregs of the dicine and the cups each ti. But the day Stella Monroe was discharged, they both forgot about this, and before going ho, I went to the hospital specifically to get this."
"Stella Monroe was just in low spirits at the ti, it wasn’t necessary for her to drink herbal dicine. There’s sothing strange about this dicine. You have good dical skills; can’t you identify what kind of dicine this is?"
Sumr Monroe shook her head and said: "I’ve never seen this kind of dicine before, I can’t identify it. But there are very few things I haven’t seen before, so this dicine... is likely sothing from Myanmar. Additionally, my people also found out that Felix Jennings went to Myanmar a few weeks ago, so can you help investigate what kind of dicine this is? There are too many poisons over in Myanmar, and my people rarely have contact with that. I don’t want to involve my foster parents in this either. So... I have to ask you for help."
"No problem." Damian Knight readily agreed: "Donnie and Nate’s funeral is tomorrow. After the funeral, I’ll send Bella and Cece to check it out. They’ve been there many tis, and investigating a dicine shouldn’t be difficult for them."
"Then I’ll trouble you, my support."
Damian Knight curved his lips into a smile: "Verbal thanks aren’t accepted, but you could invite to dinner."
"Dumplings?"
Damian Knight nodded: "Sure, I’ll pick you up after school tomorrow."
"Okay."
Just then, Damian Knight’s phone rang; it was a call from The Vanguard.
"Hold on a minute, I’ll take a call."
Sumr Monroe nodded, and Damian Knight did not avoid her as he directly pressed the answer button.
However, Sumr Monroe still didn’t hear what the other party said, only hearing Damian Knight say, "I understand, I’ll head over now."
After the call ended, Sumr Monroe spoke first, "You go ahead and handle your business first, there’s nothing urgent on my side."
"Alright." Damian Knight nodded, "It’s about the Midnight Coffee House. Do you rember Rachel Ross? The person who planned this was her father, Leo Ross. But The Vanguard people just found out from Leo that this idea was Rachel’s."
