Omnipotent Mrs. Finn

Chapter 17 The Newcomer

No sooner had she said it than she ran to the telegraph pole, but the gangsters intercepted her and

then glanced in the direction of the pole.

Once they saw the slender silhouette leaning on the pole, they were terrified.

They were tough guys who always got in a fight. How could they be scared by a man so easily?

In the next second, only two men were staying put and guarding her, while the others were running to

Levi aggressively.

Levi raised his eyebrows. Even in the dark, he could still see the facial expression of Ruby not far

away. Though she was still trying to pretend to be innocent, her twisted lips indicated that she almost

failed to restrain herself from laughing out.

So, she was getting him involved in this situation on purpose.

Ruby did mean to do it, but to her surprise, she didn’t expect that Levi was here watching at him. Of

course, she wouldn’t let him stand there and watch.

“You got a nice girlfriend, pal. If you are a sensible man, you should leave her to our boss. Otherwise,

you are going to have a bleeding nose!”

Quickly, Levi was surrounded by six gangsters.

He raised his eyebrow and said calmly, “Oh? Really?”

“You could just present your girlfriend to our boss and receive his appreciation, but instead, you choose

the hard way. It seems like we have to teach you a lesson here!”

A stocky swore at him and raised his arm to give him a punch.

And the rest of the men followed and joined the fight.

It was not a big deal for Levi to defeat all of them just by herself.

He moved among them swiftly and dodged their attacks. Then, he hit them hard with his shoulder,

elbow, and knee. In a minute, they were all lying on the ground and groaning painfully.

Ruby was watching him in appreciation. She had to admit that he looked pretty handsome no matter he

was standing or fighting.

After dealing with the gangsters, he turned around and walked to Ruby.

The two men who were supposed to guard her had already run away. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Under the lights, he stood straight in front of her and said coldly with a faint smile, “Now that you have

taken advantage of this time, we are even.”

Ruby was confused for a while and then realized he was talking about the things in the hotel.

Though she hadn’t seen enough of him fighting with gangsters and sighed in her mind, she didn’t want

to spend more time on him. “Yeah, we are even. Goodbye,” she turned around and was about to leave.

“Huh, ruthless,” he grabbed a carton of cigarettes from his pocket, put a cigarette in her mouth, and lit it

up, watching the figure of Ruby fade away.

This girl from the Harold family was quite interesting.

When he was still thinking about this, his phone rang.

Taking out the phone, Levi saw the number on the screen and compressed his lips in silence. After a

while, he finally picked up the call.

…

Once Ruby arrived at the hotel, she received the call from Dr. Moore.

She picked up the phone, turned on the hands-free mode, and poured a glass of water for herself.

“Did you go to the Harolds’ house?” he said in a sullen voice.

“Yeah.”

“What a waste of time!” he scolded disgruntledly, “Are you going to the institute tomorrow? The project

is about to succeed, and if we make it, it will be written down in history for all the good it makes! I don’t

know why you want to waste your time on meaningless chores. I heard that they found a husband for

you? And you are going to marry a cripple?”

“I have to settle some problems with them,” Ruby didn’t like this topic and replied coldly.

Dr. Moore was voiceless for a while and sighed. He couldn’t help but think that the Harolds were so

stupid that they abandoned such a promising child and cultivated a child from his secret lover.

“So, are you coming to the institute tomorrow?” he knew she didn’t like the topic and stopped talking

about it.

“Yes. Can you pick me up tomorrow morning?”

…

When Ruby woke up, her shirt was drenched by the sweats due to the nightmare she had all night

long.

She frowned and walked into the shower room.

Since the incident she experienced five years ago, she had been having a nightmare for a long period

of time. But after a while, she got rid of the nightmare for about three years.

However, when she came back to her motherland, the nightmare began to haunt her once again. That

was weird.

Dr. Moore’s car arrived at the hotel at 9 am, and he came out of the car to pick her up by himself.

When the hotel manager read the rare number on the car plate, he was so surprised that he thought it

was the car of a big shot.

And the car was parked at the gate instead of the parking lot, which made the staff very alarming.

Once Ruby got out of the hotel, she noticed the black car in high profile. Anyone could tell that the

owner of the car was not an ordinary person, because it had a car number of six zeroes.

Shaking her head speechlessly, she opened the door and got into the car.

“What’s wrong with the project?” Ruby said calmly in the car while playing with an old coin in her hand.

“The medical experiments on guinea pigs are perfect, but when it comes to clinical trial, the medicine

caused some adverse drug reactions to the patient, who is now moribund. It means that our research

and the medicine we create are failures,” Dr. Moore said solemnly and looked grimed.

Ruby frowned as well. The adverse reactions were not supposed to happen.

However, even when the car had arrived at the institute, she couldn’t figure it out.

Arriving at the institute, Dr. Moore led Ruby into the entrance, which made the researchers confused.

“Who’s that girl?”

“So looks so young. Is she a newcomer?”

“Do you think you can be hired by the institute at her age? It’s more likely that she is the relative of Dr.

Moore.”

“Given that Dr. Moore is treating her respectfully, she may probably have a tough background.”

…

When the researchers were still gossiping about her, she had already entered the lab with Dr. Moore.

Once she saw the patient on the bed, she became alarmed immediately.

“Bring everyone who has treated this patient before to me, right now,” Ruby took the silver needles

from the bag and started to rescue him.

She had come a little bit later, the patient would have been dead already.

However, the problem was not caused by the experimental medicine but something else, and it was

quite severe.

Hearing this, Dr. Moore asked his assistant to bring all the researchers who had been in contact with

the patient to here immediately.

Soon, there were totally five researchers gathered in front of her, including Dr. Moore and his assistant.

Apart from that, there were two females who were in their twenties and a 30-year-old male wearing a

pair of glasses.

They had no idea why Ruby called them here all of a sudden, but when they saw Ruby was sticking

needles in the patient’s body, they got a little bit indignant.

But when Ruby finished her job, the patient started to have sweats on his forehead, and his critically

abnormal vital signs generally turned to be normal and stable.

After she checked the pulse of the patient and made sure he was fine now, she took the needles back

in relief and turned to look at the people in front of her.

“Who injected cephalosporin to the patient?” she said in a cold and deep tone.
