With a slight narrowing of her eyes, Flossie Wright restrained her emotions. Her expression was cold, yet she did not resist as she followed Glenn Hutchinson into the elevator.
The 19th floor.
Glenn Hutchinson used the room card and smoothly led her into the room.
As soon as she entered, Flossie Wright spoke coldly to Glenn Hutchinson.
"You’ve been targeted."
Without delay, Glenn Hutchinson responded directly.
Given his understanding of Flossie Wright, if he delayed even a moment, she might have started a fight with him.
"Who?" Flossie Wright asked coldly, narrowing her eyes.
She was only in the hospital; she hadn’t done anything atrocious. At most, she had offended a few seasoned gamers. Who would target her?
In other words, what kind of person had targeted her that Glenn Hutchinson would specifically bring her here?
"An illegal organization," Glenn Hutchinson looked at her and added, "in short, the triad."
"Because of what happened this afternoon?" Flossie Wright raised an eyebrow.
"Yes." Glenn Hutchinson nodded.
Flossie Wright looked perplexed.
Just one move could offend the triad?
This was really unlucky.
Glenn Hutchinson went into the hall, unhurriedly poured a cup of tea for Flossie Wright, and then motioned for her to sit on the sofa and listen to his explanation.
In between, he called for some food.
Flossie Wright held the teacup, listening to Glenn Hutchinson’s account.
Flossie’s involvement was actually quite accidental.
The whole incident started with that knife-wielding assailant.
The target of the knife-wielding assailant was naturally Marcel Smith. The reason they chose a rookie like him was, firstly, because he wasn’t part of the triad, and he was mentally ill; even if he committed murder in public, he wouldn’t be sentenced to death. Secondly, he had a grudge against Marcel Smith, as Marcel, being a playboy, had charmed his girlfriend away within just two days of meeting her. He wished he could get rid of Marcel as quickly as possible.
With these two points, it was not surprising that he was easily manipulated.
As for why they wanted to get rid of Marcel Smith—
He only had himself to blame.
His criteria for picking up women were simple: he wanted one with a good figure and good looks.
Other than that, as long as they were over eighteen and under forty, regardless of profession or background, if he fancied them, he would definitely make a move.
After arriving in this city, his luck was bad, as he picked up the sister of a triad boss.
The reason Marcel Smith ended up in the hospital with a broken leg was because the matter was discovered by the triad boss, who then brought a group to give him a thrashing.
His leg was deliberately broken.
Logically, things should have ended there, without needing to take Marcel’s life.
However, Marcel’s luck was bad, as the sister had inadvertently revealed some of the triad boss’s business dealings while dating him.
Originally, there wasn’t much disclosed; Marcel knew nothing at all and had no intention of reporting or informing. He just wanted to live freely, but the other side wasn’t sure how much he actually knew.
For safety’s sake, naturally, getting rid of him was the best choice.
And, Flossie Wright being a military person was already known throughout the hospital, and she had a good relationship with Marcel Smith. During the critical moment in the afternoon, she was the one who saved Marcel.
Inevitably—
The triad boss began to suspect whether Flossie Wright was sent by the Military District, and whether Marcel was possibly an undercover agent sent by them...
Those who engage in such activities are highly suspicious.
This much, Flossie Wright could understand.
In short, for various reasons, Flossie Wright had been targeted and could face life-threatening danger at any time, requiring better protection.
