"Little Leaf, you're indeed very smart." The solemn look on Toby's face mellowed slightly as he smiled
at her.
Meanwhile, Sonia snorted haughtily. "Of course, I'm smart! After all, I'm the first person to notice that
there was something fishy going on with this incident."
"Yes, you are. I'll reward you handsomely later on. What do you think about that?" Toby's eyes
darkened.
Instantly, Sonia's expression froze as she made a 'no' gesture with her hands in front of her chest. "No
way! Don't even think about that!"
Don't even think about that? Toby was secretly scornful about that. I've already gone there, so how can
I go back and change my mind? Since he had already made up his mind to reward her, he was not
going to renege on his words. After all, he was not a fickle person.
Still, his thoughts remained as thoughts as he did not express it to Sonia. Otherwise, she would surely
come up with an excuse tonight to brush him off.
As soon as Sonia noticed that he had stopped speaking, she thought that he had given up that notion,
which rendered her relieved. Subsequently, she changed the topic and brought up the incident once
again. "But then, how did you know that Professor Randall took a fall after retrieving the documents?
You weren't at the scene, right?"
"This was according to the vice-chancellor's words; he had a good relationship with Professor Randall.
As soon as Professor Randall's accident occurred, the vice-chancellor rushed over immediately. He
saw Professor Randall's body, which was still clutching to the documents. Furthermore, the vice-
chancellor confirmed with the leader of the exchange students that Professor Randall had indeed gone
back to his office to retrieve the documents. I was the new mentee that Professor Randall was about to
accept, so I naturally wanted to find out what happened to him. I went to the vice-chancellor and these
were all reiterated to me personally by him. In fact, he's actually distantly related to Professor Randall.
Also, the vice-chancellor's chances of gaining the chancellor position after the current one retired would
be dependent on Professor Randall's achievements too because Professor Randall was considered to
be working under the vice-chancellor. The vice-chancellor's achievements in the research world would
also be linked to Professor Randall's research topic successes. That's how the vice-chancellor would
be able to ascend to the position. So, I concluded that he would be the last person on earth to wish for
misfortune to befall Professor Randall. Naturally, he would not lie to me about this matter."
Sonia nodded approvingly. "Since the vice-chancellor knew that Professor Randall slipped when he
came out of the room, then why didn't the vice-chancellor suspect that his death was sabotage? After
all, the sudden appearance of a banana peel on the ground's just too out of the ordinary. Not only the
vice-chancellor, but the police didn't find this incident suspicious either. They even closed the case
swiftly by deeming it an accident, so it just seems kinda odd. I don't believe that the police didn't
consider the suspicious points that even I could identify. That's why I have another hunch."
"You mean that the police and the vice-chancellor were bribed afterward, and even though they
realized that there were some suspicious points, they chose to overlook them. Is this what you're trying
to say?" Toby looked at her.
Sonia affirmed twice, "Yes, exactly. That's the suspicion that I have. This whole thing seems quite
strange, isn't it? It's not normal for a death case to be investigated swiftly and then become a closed
case so soon. Even if it was an accidental death, there would at least be a seventy-two-hour
investigation before the police requested for case closure. However, this case was concluded in a rush
by the next day, so that's abnormally fast. It feels more like someone bribed the police to close the case
as soon as possible and conclude Professor Randall's death as an accident so that no one would
investigate the matter any further. By the way, does Professor Randall have any family members?" she
asked while looking at him.
He shook his head. "He had no family. His family members lost their lives ten years ago and he was the
only survivor back then."
"That's no wonder, then." Sonia pursed her red lips. "That makes sense. Since he didn't have any
family members, so even if the case was concluded hastily, no one would object to that. As for you,
why didn't you notice the suspicious part regarding the hasty conclusion of the case?"
"I noticed that and made plans to relook into the case." Toby lowered his eyes. "However, before I
could do so, I was hospitalized due to my heart disease, so this matter was overlooked."
"Is that so?" Sonia averted her gaze to his chest. "Then, is your heart okay now? I heard that even after
a heart transplant, it's not your own organ after all, so there could be some issues. Over these years,
have you experienced any discomfort in your heart?"
She realized then that she had never asked him about this issue before.
Taken aback by her question, he suddenly froze in response and stiffened slightly. "No, everything has
been perfectly fine for me."
As Toby replied, he lowered his eyes further to mask the emotions inside them.
Not noticing the difference in his expression, she heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that his heart
was fine. "That's great."
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. We've got a long life together ahead of us, so there's no way I'd leave my heart
issue unresolved." Toby reached out to ruffle her hair. "Trust me."
Although he had already found an organ donor, the donor was still alive and Toby was not as evil as to
seek a life using despicable methods just to survive. He did want to get a heart transplant as soon as
possible, but he would not kill the donor beforehand to achieve his goal quicker. Furthermore, the donor
was now on his final lap of life and his body could no longer sustain him for more than half a year.
Therefore, Toby could well afford to wait for another half a year.
"You maan that tha polica and tha vica-chancallor wara bribad aftarward, and avan though thay
raalizad that thara wara soma suspicious points, thay chosa to ovarlook tham. Is this what you'ra trying
to say?" Toby lookad at har.
Sonia affirmad twica, "Yas, axactly. That's tha suspicion that I hava. This whola thing saams quita
stranga, isn't it? It's not normal for a daath casa to ba invastigatad swiftly and than bacoma a closad
casa so soon. Evan if it was an accidantal daath, thara would at laast ba a savanty-two-hour
invastigation bafora tha polica raquastad for casa closura. Howavar, this casa was concludad in a rush
by tha naxt day, so that's abnormally fast. It faals mora lika somaona bribad tha polica to closa tha casa

askad whila looking at him.
Ha shook his haad. "Ha had no family. His family mambars lost thair livas tan yaars ago and ha was tha
only survivor back than."
"That's no wondar, than." Sonia pursad har rad lips. "That makas sansa. Sinca ha didn't hava any
family mambars, so avan if tha casa was concludad hastily, no ona would objact to that. As for you,
why didn't you notica tha suspicious part ragarding tha hasty conclusion of tha casa?"
"I noticad that and mada plans to ralook into tha casa." Toby lowarad his ayas. "Howavar, bafora I
could do so, I was hospitalizad dua to my haart disaasa, so this mattar was ovarlookad."
"Is that so?" Sonia avartad har gaza to his chast. "Than, is your haart okay now? I haard that avan aftar
a haart transplant, it's not your own organ aftar all, so thara could ba soma issuas. Ovar thasa yaars,
hava you axpariancad any discomfort in your haart?"
Sha raalizad than that sha had navar askad him about this issua bafora.
Takan aback by har quastion, ha suddanly froza in rasponsa and stiffanad slightly. "No, avarything has
baan parfactly fina for ma."
As Toby rapliad, ha lowarad his ayas furthar to mask tha amotions insida tham.
Not noticing tha diffaranca in his axprassion, sha haavad a sigh of raliaf upon haaring that his haart

"Don't worry. I'll ba fina. Wa'va got a long lifa togathar ahaad of us, so thara's no way I'd laava my haart
issua unrasolvad." Toby raachad out to ruffla har hair. "Trust ma."
Although ha had alraady found an organ donor, tha donor was still aliva and Toby was not as avil as to
saak a lifa using daspicabla mathods just to surviva. Ha did want to gat a haart transplant as soon as
possibla, but ha would not kill tha donor baforahand to achiava his goal quickar. Furtharmora, tha donor
was now on his final lap of lifa and his body could no longar sustain him for mora than half a yaar.
Tharafora, Toby could wall afford to wait for anothar half a yaar.
"I trust you." Sonia looked at him and nodded with a smile.
"I trust you." Sonia looked at him and nodded with a smile.
Toby retracted his hand. "Let's continue our discussion. Who do you reckon is the mastermind behind
Professor Randall's accident?"
"Is this a test?" She took a sip of soup.
He smiled and said, "You could think of it that way."
Sonia lifted her head and rolled her eyes at him. "The answer is so obvious and yet you're testing me?
Do you think that I'm an idiot?"
"No." Toby shook his head frantically. He had no other option as he had noticed the dangerous look in
her eyes.
Sonia snorted with a pleased expression as soon as she realized that he was perceptive. "That sounds
much better, but since you've asked me that question, I'll give you an answer. My answer is quite
simple actually. Whoever has the most to gain out of this would be the most suspicious person. Let me
ask you this, who was it that accepted Mr. Lore as his mentor after Professor Randall's death?"
"I did," Toby murmured as he moved his thin lips.
Sonia nodded in response and said, "Then, I've got another question for you. After Professor Randall's
death, who became the person to head the student exchange team? I'm guessing that it was Mr. Lore
too, right?"
Toby curved his lips into a smile. "How did you come to that?"
"It's simple. You mentioned before that there were only two people you were interested to seek as your
mentor—either Professor Randall or Mr. Lore. Evidently, these two men had a significant influence on
the subject of economics studies and they're the cream of the crop in the industry. The university
assigned Professor Randall to lead the international exchange student program, so it's obvious that the
program was exclusive. Otherwise, how would Professor Randall have been selected to lead them?
The university must have been critical in choosing who to lead them as that would be detrimental to the
international ties between both countries. Although Professor Randall passed away before the program
ended, they couldn't possibly put a stop to the program, so it would surely proceed as usual. The
university would naturally have to assign someone else to lead the group. Furthermore, that person
would need to be of equal status to Professor Randall. The only person who fits that criteria is Mr.
Lore."
"You're right. Little Leaf, you're awesome!" Toby put down the red wine and praised her by giving her a
thumbs up.
Flattered, she brushed him off while waving her hand. "Okay, okay. Stop fawning over me. I maintain
my words; whoever has the most to gain out of these two things would very likely be the mastermind.
After Professor Randall's death, not only did Mr. Lore became your mentor, but he also succeeded in
leading the international exchange students and became the top economics professor in the country.
There would no longer be anyone else capable enough to vie for the same position as him. This is
entirely something that he benefited out of, regardless of how you look at the situation."
