Suddenly, an alarm rang out at the door.

Someone shouted, "The cops are here!" 89%

Shortly after, the entire bar erupted into chaos. Some patrons stood frozen in place, looking utterly lost, while others, guilt-stricken, scurried around trying to escape.

A couple of police officers charged in through the main entrance to maintain order. The leading officer sterly commanded, "Everyone, please remain calm. We've received a report of illegal substance use within the bar. We ask for your cooperation with our investigation. It w take much of your time. Failure to comply may result in arrest for causing a disturbance."

Many of the guests calmed down and cooperated with the police during their questioning.

Sophia was utterly taken aback. "Someone's doing drugs here? It's such a mess! Yankovich, what kind of place have you brought me to?"

Zephyr flashed an innocent front. "How would I know-

Shut up!"

Zephyr pursed his lips, remaining silent.

Sophia asked in a hushed tone, "Since they received the complaint, didn't the informant describe what the suspect looks like?"

Resting her elbow on the table, Lenora raised her hand to rub her temples, choosing not to respond.

Zephyr responded in a low voice, "Usually, they would provide that, but they can't rule out the possibility of a crowd gathering, so they'll need to investigate." Drug use, crowd gathering, AIDS...

The words gathered and hit Sophia all at once. She shivered as if struck by a sudden chill, shooting him a disdainful glance. "Who asked you?" she retorted. Zephyr responded, "Can't you ignore me, then?"

Sophia pursed her lips, turning her attention to Lenora and expressing her concern. "Nora, why does your face look like that? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm feeling a bit dizzy." Lenora clutched her chest. "My heart's beating a bit fast, probably because I've been too busy and haven't been getting enough rest lately."

"Ah..." Sophia sighed. "I originally planned to leave as soon as I met the person. Now, it seems like I might be delayed a bit."

After she finished speaking, she shot Zephyr a glare.

If it weren't for him, why would she have come to such a place?

This time, Zephyr didn't retort her. He glanced at Lenore, his brows furrowing in that and weed kis suspicion. "Could it be that you...

Before he could finish speaking, a police officer was already heading, wrath for their both. We street ar the edge of the table and looked down at Lenora from superior portion sizing her op. He then took on a small notebook and asked, "Ma'am, your name? "Me?" Lenora pointed to her own nose, still feeling a bit dazed.

"Correct. You," the police officer said with a stern expression.

"Officer, we..." It was simply impossible for them to use drugs.

Just as Sophia was about to explain, Zephyr subtly kicked her under the table.

He was almost certain now that Lenora had been messed with by someone,

Someone had slipped something into the drink she had consumed. Subsequently, that individual immediately reported the incident to the police.

This wasn't unusual in the bar.

Sophia's explanations were of no use. In such circumstances, they were definitely going to be taken back for inspection.

It was unclear whether that person was targeting Lenora alone or all three of them.

What was their purpose?

Zephyr glanced at Sophia across from him. He reckoned this naive girl probably still hadn't grasped the situation.

After the police had inquired about Lenora's personal information, they asked further, "Why did you come here tonight? Have you been here before? How many times? And what were your reasons?"

The caseworker was stern, which only made Lenora feel increasingly dizzy and suffocated. Irritation bubbled up in her heart, but she held her patience and responded, "This is my first time here tonight. I came with a friend..."

"Came with a friend?" The police officer noticed something off about Lenora and gave her a few more glances. He was almost certain she was the person they were looking for.

"Blind date." Sophia took over the conversation, shooting Zephyr, who was sitting across from her, a glare. The police officer glanced at Sophia. "Are you her friend?" "Indeed."

"What's your name?"

Sophia proceeded to share her personal information.

The police asked a few questions, then turned to Zephyr, inquiring, "Are you her blind date?"

"Indeed." Zephyr nodded.

"Who introduced you? When did you start communicating? Is this your first meeting tonight?" the police. officer asked.

In the past, informants came up with all sorts of cover stories to arrange their meetings. The excuse of a blind date wasn't unusual. The police interrogated them thoroughly.

Once Zephyr finished answering, the police officer closed his notebook and tucked his pen into his front pocket. "Come along. The three of you need to come with us for a urine test." "Huh? A urine test?" Sophia looked up in surprise. "Are you suspecting us of..."

Lenora was also somewhat taken aback, feeling a faint unease in her heart. "Let's discuss any issues after we get the test results."

Sophia wanted to say something more, but Zephyr abruptly pulled her back.

Sophia calmed herself down, knowing that anything she said at this point would be futile. However, she just couldn't help but feel angry.

"It's all your fault! Not only did you set me up on purpose, but look at this dump you've chosen!" Sophia, in her frustration, shot Zephyr another glare.

"All right. All right. It's all my fault. All my fault."""

The police officer suddenly turned around. "Aren't you two on a blind date, having just met?"

Sophia was rendered speechless.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the three individuals were escorted into the police car.

Lenora was alone in a vehicle, accompanied by two police officers.

She didn't understand what was happening to her. Her heart was racing with excitement, yearning for an outlet, yet she was clueless about what to do.

She found herself inexplicably taken to the police station, feeling so irritable that she wanted to hit

someone.

Sophia shared a car ride with Zephyr, accompanied by a police officer sitting next to them.

Zephyr shifted slightly under the police officer's intense gaze. He pulled out his phone from his pocket. "Officer, you wouldn't mind if I made a call, would you?" "Who are you calling?"

A friend."

"Go ahead."

Zephyr then proceeded to make the call.

The call connected, and he said, "Ezekiel, it's me."

Zephyr relayed the situation at hand to Ezekiel, with a particular emphasis on Lenora's symptoms. "I'm afraid someone might be targeting her. Keep your eyes peeled."

After Ezekiel agreed, Zephyr ended the call.

Sophia realized belatedly. "What you're saying is, Nora, she..."

She wore an expression of disbelief, yet reflecting on Lenora's symptoms, it did indeed seem somewhat similar...

"It's a speculation. We'll know once the test results are out."

Sophia wore a worried expression as she nodded. Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she asked with a tinge of melancholy, "Who were you on the phone with just now? Ezekiel? Ezekiel? Do you know Ezekiel?" So, are you saying that his appearance in Newcove was not a coincidence at all?

No wonder Fiona mentioned seeing other people in Ezekiel's car who hadn't gotten out yet!

It must have been this scoundrel!

Zephyr was baffled.

Due to the time required for metabolic processes in the human body, nothing significant could be detected in a urine test conducted within a short period.

Wait was necessary.

Several hours later, the urine could finally be tested.

Lenora grew increasingly restless.

Sophia wasn't all that great either.

Only Zephyr remained calm.

The trio stayed at the police station until the wee hours of the morning when the urine test results were finally out.

Lenora and Sophia were both tested positive.

Only Zephyr was of tested negative.

Upon seeing the test results, Lenora found it hard to believe.

Had she taken some drugs?

When did this happen?

Could it be that her discomfort earlier was a reaction to the absorption?

She reckoned that was probably the case.

So, someone had slipped something into her drink at the bar?

She had only ever seen such things in TV dramas.

Sophia could hardly believe it too.

Was she drugged as well?

However, why didn't she feel anything?

The two were separately escorted into the interrogation room and questioned about the origins of the drugs, whether they were addicted, and so on.

The police asked Zephyr a few more questions, then gestured dismissively. "You can leave now."

Zephyr emerged from the office, coming face to face with several people.

At the forefront was a middle-aged police officer. Judging by the insignia on his shoulder, it was clear that he held a high-ranking position, placing him amongst the top brass of Jacaster's police force. Beside the police officer walked a middle-aged man dressed in a suit. The two of them conversed as they strolled, and judging by the officer's expression, he held the man in high regard.

Upon seeing Zephyr, the middle-aged man quickly approached him. "Zephyr, why didn't you let me know when you ran into such a situation?"

Zephyr chuckled. "Just as I was about to call you, you showed up."
