It was the middle of the night, and no one could sleep after all the commotion. Quinlyn simply turned on the light, sat on the couch, and gestured for him to ask whatever he wanted.

Chester scratched his head, thinking for a long time before finally blurting out, “If I cooperate fully, can I get special consideration to become a cop?”

Quinlyn was momentarily stunned. She really had no idea how to answer that.

Chester had actually dreamed of becoming a police officer since he was a kid. But he had grown up poor–so poor that he couldn’t even afford an education, let alone meet the academic requirements for the police entrance exam.

Over the years, he had watched plenty of legal education shows and learned how to exploit loopholes, which led him down the path of petty crime.

When he got on the phone with Bennett, Chester was practically buzzing with excitement. “So, how did you manage to become an undercover agent?”

“Because I’m smart,” Quinlyn replied.

“Well, I definitely can’t compete with that. Why didn’t you just say so from the start? I take back all the cursing. By the way, that powder really has no side effects?” Chester asked.

Quinlyn explained, “No, it doesn’t. I synthesized it based on the properties of the drug. At first, the addiction is intense, but over time, users feel less and less of an effect.

“Eventually, they break free from dependency. Addicts can even use it to overcome real drug addiction.”

“That’s insane. You actually created something that powerful. Where did you even get the real drugs from?” Chester asked.

“The police department lent them to me for research,” Quinlyn said.

After hearing all the details, Chester was completely in awe of Quinlyn’s intelligence. He had been running scams his whole life, but compared to Quinlyn, he was way out of his league.

At this point, he was no longer wallowing in despair. Instead, he started digging into the details of the case.

Quinlyn answered most of his questions, but as fatigue crept in, she rubbed her eyes and got up to go to bed.

“Hey, wait a sec.” Chester suddenly stood up, rummaged through a drawer, and pulled out a first–aid kit. He walked over, looking a little awkward. “You hurt your hand saving me earlier. Let me disinfect it. You don’t want an infection.”
