Omnipotent Mrs. Finn

Chapter 372 Perception

"What do you mean?" Levi raised his eyebrows and paced over to her.

"You need to stop pretending to be dumb." Ruby was speechless for a while and skimmed the corners

of her mouth, "Why are you deliberately pretending in front of Benjamin today?"

At that, Levi’s eyes flickered slightly and he let out a snort of laughter, like he had heard a funny joke.

Ruby was somehow hot in her ears from his laugh: "What are you laughing at? Why are you acting

strangely today?"

Instead of answering, Levi asked her, "You don't know the reason?"

Ruby averted her eyes and did not say anything.

Levi approached slowly, sitting down beside her, his eyes glittering with stars.

"Benjamin obviously likes you, and I, as your husband, would not be a man to put up with it."

Ruby: "......"

She cleared her throat and murmured, "We have nothing to do with each other, so there's no need for

you to be so concerned."

"I know there's nothing between you." Levi nodded, "But he should not have feeling for you!"

Realizing that the conversation could not go any further, Ruby said nothing more.

Later that night, Ruby and Levi went to bed early as they planned to go around outside the next day

and see how things were going.

In the middle of the night, when Levi got up, he saw that Ruby had slept with her cheeks flushed and

her rosy mouth slightly open, so he was afraid that she would feel thirsty when she got up, so he went

downstairs to get a glass of water.

However, when he reached the corner of the stairs, he found that the lights of the dinning room were

still on in the middle of the night.

Who was still up at this hour?

He was puzzled, but didn't think much of it. He was going to continue downstairs, but a sound from

downstairs stopped his steps.

The voice was very familiar, it was Benjamin's, and the words he spoke immediately caused Levi’s

eyes to freeze.

"They're going out tomorrow, send some men to follow them and let them know the mercenaries are

still looking for them."

Mercenaries?

Was he on the phone with a mercenary now?

In other words, those mercenaries were sent by him?

Not wanting him to overhear such shocking news, Levi’s face sank, he stepped backwards, at the other

end of the corner, and concentrated on listening to the sounds coming from downstairs.

However, after Benjamin had said this, there was no other order, and he did not make another sound

for a long time, and seemed to have hung up the phone.

He didn’t know how long it took, but there was the sound of a glass being placed on the table, then the

lights in the dining room went out and the sound of footsteps followed.

Levi's eyes were quickly adjusting to the darkness as he lightened his steps and turned around to

quickly go upstairs.

Luckily, years of well-trained and practical experience did not allow him to make a single sound.

When he returned to his room, he closed the door very gently and listened sideways for any movement

outside.

Not long after, Benjamin also went upstairs, towards the other party of the corridor, and after a few

more seconds, there was the faint sound of a door being closed.

In the quiet darkness, Levi's eyes narrowed slightly, thoughts floating under them.

In fact, this morning, when he was talking with Ruby, he already had his suspicions about Benjamin,

and he did not expect to be verified in such a way.

How could it be such a coincidence that they were forced to land in F Country and they met Benjamin?

And why would it be such a coincidence that Benjamin was able to find exactly where they were when

they were blocked into the alleyway and chased?

He had never believed in serial coincidences; the number of coincidences was so great that it smacked

of deliberate intent.

Moreover, Benjamin was a person Ruby was familiar with and also cooperated in F Country, which

meant that he had power in F Country as well.

Both of these points fit the conditions of the person behind this incident as analyzed by Ruby earlier.

Now it seemed that he had been eyeing Ruby in the F Country early on, which was why he knew about

Dr. Moore’s laboratory and had mercenaries ambush around there in advance.

Seeing that they had failed, they chased after them, pretending to hijack the plane in order to make it

easier for themselves to make a move, but forcing them to land in F Country so that the mercenaries

ambushed on land could come in handy.

In order to earn Ruby's trust!

What a roundabout way to go!

However, it was reasonable that Benjamin could not hire mercenaries.

Although his family was a famous family in the capital, it was after all not among the first tier of the four

great families and did not yet have that qualification to be able to hook up with mercenaries. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The only possibility was that Benjamin had another hidden identity!

And this identity must not be underestimated!

The mind whirled around and soon, he associated it with Lab X.

It was obvious that Benjamin had come for Cara's relics, and what outsiders were now learning was

just that she was a great doctor and wanted to get the ancient medical secrets of the Henderson family.

If Benjamin was here for this, then the hidden identity behind him must also have something to do with

the medical profession.

So it was hard for him not to associate it with Lab X.

But he could not be sure of it.

After all, many people now want Granny's ancient medical secrets and as long as they have them in

hand, they could reap endless benefits.

Just as he was deep in his thoughts, Ruby rolled over, keenly sensing that the atmosphere in the room

was not right, and his eyes abruptly opened.

By the cool moonlight filtering in through the window, she saw a man standing in the doorway of the

room.

When she realized that the person was Levi, she was relieved and sat up propping herself up, "What

are you doing standing there in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

Levi came back to his senses and walked over with an empty water glass, saying in a warm voice: "I

thought I'd pour you a glass of water downstairs, are you thirsty? I'll go now."

Ruby rubbed her eyes, shook her head and said in a daze, "No, I'm not thirsty."

Levi rubbed her head, put the water glass on the bed, and put his arm around her to lie down again,

"Okay, go back to sleep."

At the end of the sentence, he gave a sloppy kiss on her bare forehead.

Ruby didn't think much of it. Sleepiness came over her and she drifted off to sleep again.

And after her breathing became shallow and steady, Levi carefully withdrew his hand and tucked her in

the quilt, then got up and went to the balcony and called Chester on the phone.

"Any news from Lab X’s investigation?"

Chester was still awake and replied, "Not yet, but I've sent extra men to investigate deeper, so maybe

there will be some news."
