The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 762

Chapter 762: Chapter 762: Turtle Sticker from the System

Nothing can make her feel more at ease than the words "Spiritual Matron."

Layla instinctively chose to trust them.

Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander took the opportunity to lead people back to the car.

At this moment, the police responsible for the arrest finally arrived, knowing these people were the ones who reported the incident; as customary, the police needed to take them back for questioning.

Seeing the police coming over, Scarlett Jennings instinctively used her clothes to cover Layla’s appearance, then showed her credentials to the officer,

"We’re from the Security Bureau. We accidentally discovered this place while looking for people and will have someone from our department liaise with the police later."

The officer heard "Security Bureau" and was momentarily stunned, wanting to ask more questions, but the team leader had already arrived,

"Since the Security Bureau is handling this case, we won’t interfere much, but we still thank you for assisting the police in breaking up this underground casino."

They all saw the group of people tied up, including the scar-faced leader who looked like he had been struck by lightning, face pitch black.

If people from the Special Security Department were involved, it wouldn’t be surprising.

Scarlett Jennings signaled to one of the small fry in the Black Mist Organization, "This one uses Evil Technique, we’ll take him away, and his related information will be synchronized with the police later."

After speaking with the police, Scarlett Jennings and her group got in the car and left.

What they didn’t know was that, at the same time, somewhere on the other side of the city. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

A woman wrapped in Black Mist slowly opened her eyes, sensing the array had been broken. Her face showed no panic, instead a smug smile faintly curved at the corners of her mouth.

...

On this side, Scarlett Jennings directly sent the person to the hospital.

Layla’s body needed a comprehensive examination, and she needed to be given nutritional injections.

The hospital had already been arranged in advance by the Peaceful City Security Bureau, with projects and staff instructed to keep things confidential.

Still, upon seeing Layla, the responsible medical staff were startled.

Though the Peaceful City Security Bureau had heard about the effects of the Face Changing Technique, it was their first time seeing it in person, leaving them visibly empathetic.

Over there, the medical personnel were about to help Layla do a CT scan when they couldn’t help but whisper,

"Um, can the turtle in this lady’s hand be put aside first?"

No turtles allowed inside.

Scarlett Jennings then remembered, soothing Layla’s emotions by letting her hold onto the system all the way, and now explained briefly with her fingers, taking the turtle from Layla’s hand.

The examination took quite some time.

Fortunately, apart from malnutrition, no serious issues were found.

After settling Layla in a private hospital room and assigning personnel from the Security Bureau to guard, Scarlett Jennings and the others left to rest.

As Layla needed to remain in the hospital for nutrition infusion, Scarlett Jennings brought the Spiritual Matron over the next day.

Once Layla was found, informing this elder became a priority.

The moment the Spiritual Matron arrived at the hospital and held Layla’s hand, Layla did not reflexively pull away for the first time.

That old withered hand, as warm as in her memory.

Even without seeing anything, Layla immediately recognized her.

Similarly, although the Spiritual Matron couldn’t see either, the instant she held Layla’s hand, she knew Layla had indeed been found.

Scarlett Jennings watched the tightly embraced "grandparent and grandchild" silently for a while, then took out the system turtle from her bag.

Compared to its spirited state after absorbing Black Mist last night, the system now appeared deflated once again.

[Scarlett Jennings, you swear, find a way to replenish my energy and change your host once we return!]

Scarlett Jennings heard and seriously promised,

"I swear."

Gregory Xander and Kingston Jennings were confused, but Samuel Chalmers noticed the slight dark circles under Scarlett Jennings’s eyes.

She clearly hadn’t slept all night.
