Noraâs voice was cold. Even though everyone was talking about Ruth in private, these words still reached everyoneâs ears clearly.
Ruthâs fingers tightened.
She looked at the woman who was speaking quietly. She wore a black shirt tucked in under her clothes and nonchalantly carried a large backpack. She seemed brave and cool as she stood there.
That question seemed to have crossed her mind, making her feel a little guilty for a moment.
Had she figured out that she was lying?
As soon as this thought surfaced, Captain Johnson scoffed. âNora, what do you mean, only Black Cat knows if heâs ever said such things, are you Black Cat, why are you questioning Ruth here?â

Captain Johnson said again, âI know women are generally mean. Do you feel unhappy when you see women more beautiful and popular than you? But thatâs no reason to question others.â
With that, he snorted.
Ruth also came back to her senses. She still maintained her friendly personality and said with a smile, âCaptain Johnson, itâs okay.â
After saying that, she looked at Nora. âIndeed, I am good friends with Black Cat.â
Nora scoffed. âThen tell me where Black Cat is, what does he look like?â
Ruth sighed. âIâm sorry. Black Cat likes to hide and relax, so I canât expose his identity. This is also one of the requirements for coming here and accepting Captain Johnsonâs invitation.â
Captain Johnson immediately backed her up, âYes, so donât bother Ruth about Black Cat. She wonât mention it.â
Nora: â?â
Tsk, this person was quite cunning!
The excuse she had found was perfect.
Ruth didnât give Nora a chance to speak again. Instead, she pulled a large bag of coffee beans from her purse. âI brought these especially here. The flavor is very good. Consider it a treat for everyone to try.â When she said this, the group of eternal singles immediately stepped forward.
âOkay, this way. The coffee machine is this way!â
âMiss Ruthâ¦â
Ruth smiled softly. âYou donât have to call me Miss Ruth. Just call me Ruth. Weâre all colleagues.â
âAll right, Ruth. Coffee is my favorite. People at our work often stay up late. Coffee is a must.â Ruth continued to smile. âLooks like my gift was well received.â
As Nora watched a group of people crowd around Ruth as she made her way to the coffee machine, for the first time she began to think that she was indeed not very good at handling interpersonal relationships.
Look at Ruthâ¦
Why didnât she invite everyone for coffee when she got to the apartment?
As she was thinking, she heard Morrisâs voice. âWhatâs in your bag? Itâs heavy.â
Morris took it casually, thinking to help her carry it. Nora blinked. âNo need to bother you, Captain Ford. The bag is full of clothes and food. I wonder if I could give it to Karl.â
Morris thought about it and nodded. âAll right, but he has to pass a routine check before he can take it.â
âNo problem.â
Nora walked into the interrogation room.
She wanted to continue chatting with Karl. After all, last time, Karl had wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Captain Johnson.
Since they were here to meet again, she had to get Karl to say what he couldnât say last time.
As they went through the security checks, Nora took things out one by one. Tanya had prepared many things for Karl.
Apart from some snacks, there were also cigarettes and essentials. All were acceptable, so they were let in.
As they entered the interrogation room, Nora could vaguely hear the young man guarding the door say, âThereâs another girl in the apartment! Her personality is especially good!â¦.â
Nora shook her head and entered the interrogation room.
However, seeing Karlâs appearance, she frowned. âUncle Karl, why did you do that? What did you want to tell me last time? Can you tell me why you helped the mysterious organization bring people to New York?â
