"Don't accuse me of not giving you the chance to make that call.I'll count down from ten.If you don't tell me, I will put it away and you'll never get another chance to do so."
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."
Jared gave his bodyguard a nod, and the latter walked over and snatched his phone back.
"If you don't want to call the police, then at least tell me who sent you."
Jared said, his expression so piercing that he looked as if he could singe the man with his gaze.
"I'm really a doctor.Why won't you believe me?"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмConrad sputtered, still unwilling to tell Jared the truth.
"You are still tight-lipped, eh?" Jared said.
"Alright, which department are working in?"
"I-I am a surgeon."
Conrad fumbled after a moment of hesitation.Even if what he said was true, there would still be no legitimate reason for him to enter Mr.Johnston Sr"s ward.
"You're lying through your teeth," Jared retorted.
"You've never been a surgeon.You're just trying to weasel out of it.Let me remind you that the person who hired you to do this has already known that you've been caught.He's likely thinking of ways to cover the trail by killing you already.Yet, here you are, trying not to expose them.Think about yourself.Is this worth it?"
Conrad's eye twitched upon hearing Jared's words.
'Is it true, that they will kill me like he said?' At this juncture, Conrad was already having second thoughts about whether he should keep the identity of his contractors concealed.
Jared proceeded to bait him by saying, "Have you thought about your answer? If you have any concerns, just tell me.I will do my level best to ensure your safety, but first, you'll have to tell me the truth."
Conrad's eyes rolled and cold sweat began trickling down his forehead.It was a tough decision to make, but after some hesitation, he looked up at Jared.He was about to speak when the door to the security room was thrown open, and in came Henry.His eyes ranged over Conrad, who was squatting on the floor, and met Jared.
As soon as he saw the both of them, he began feigning surprise.
"I was informed that a suspicious individual was apprehended in front of the ward.Is that him?"
Henry pointed at the crouching Conrad.
"Who told you that we've caught a weasel in front of the ward? This man is just a petty thief pretending to be a doctor.He stole my wallet and I caught him red-handed.I'm surprised at how fast you got caught wind of this.It seems that you've got your fingers on your pulse."
Jared stated, exposing Henry in just a few words.
Seeing that Jared had turned the story against him, Henry resorted to using Mr.Johnston Sr.as an excuse.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм "I just happened to be visiting your grandpa.As I was passing the nurse's station, I heard there was a commotion and thought something had happened to your grandpa, so I rushed over."
Henry tried his best to cover his tracks.Yet, Jared was no longer interested in engaging him, as he was more focused on getting Conrad to tell the truth, and so, he left Henry alone.
"Since this is the case, why don't you go ahead and visit grandpa like you said you would.I still have matters to attend to over here."
He averted his gaze from his uncle and centered it on Conrad's face, during which Henry glanced at Conrad from behind Jared, before saying, "I will leave you to it then"
Henry took on a frosty look the second he walked out of the security room.
‘Jared Johnston.I swear, I'm going to drive you out of the Johnston Group one day.You'll never meddle with our affairs anymore"
Back in the security room, Jared turned to Conrad.
"What were you going to say? Now that no one is around, speak up."
Conrad shrank, unable to look Jared in the eye.
"I was about to say that you got the wrong person.To be honest, my family is poor and none of us could afford treatment here, so I thought of sneaking in here in the guise of a doctor to get my hands on some medicine.The hospital is huge, and no one would find out if I had snuck a few bottles of pills into my jacket anyway.All was going well until I got busted by your men.So yeah, I'm not the one you're looking for."
Jared glared at Conrad, knowing that he was lying.He was about to spill the beans, but Henry's sudden appearance had rendered all progress null and void.
"Release him," Jared told his security detail.
Conrad did not expect Jared to let him go, and was perplexed at why he had gotten away with what he was trying to do.He inched his way toward the door, and upon reaching the doorway, proceeded to dash out in a flash.
"Get someone to tail him.Find out who he has been in contact with, get the evidence on film, and bring it to me," Jared instructed the bodyguard behind him.
