Chapter 506 Jeanne Goes Crazy
As soon as Lucia finished, Jeanne was already staring at her with wide eyes and some shock, and soon, the shock on her face turned to anger, "Lucia, you know everything. Why did you set me up?” She had indeed sent someone around Olivia. It was originally for other purposes, but she didn't expect it to come in handy in this matter as well, otherwise she wouldn't have known so much,
The more Jeanne thought about it, the angrier she became. The anger rushed to her head, and she stared at Lucia, asking viciously, "Are you trying to turn me in?"
Before Lucia could answer, she saw Jeanne approaching her fiercely, stretching out her two hands and then grabbed her neck. Jeanne moved so quickly that Lucia was completely unprepared. She was grabbed her neck and pushed back. The ground near the rockery was not very flat, so she stumbled back a few steps and almost fell down.
Suddenly, her head hit the rockery with a thud, and her whole body was pushed backwards by Jeanne. She was pressed against the rockery, with no way out.
Jeanne clenched her teeth and said with hatred, "Lucia! It's all because of you! You made me what I am now! Now you still try to harm me! You wanna turn me in! I'm not gonna let you do that! Go to hell! Lucia, you should have died!"
Her eyes were red, and her whole body was taken over by anger. She was completely out of her mind. Her two hands were stuck on Lucia's neck, and she pushed Lucia back with force. Lucia only felt like a bundle of hemp rope tightly tied around her neck, making her unable to breathe, or call for help. She stretched out her hands, trying to pull Jeanne’s two hands away. But Jeanne was with brute strength, and coupled with the location advantage, Lucia was no match for her.
She struggled to make a sound, "Jeanne, let go of..."
There was no one else. Usually people did not come to the rockery. Plus the two of them hiding in the back of the rockery, people passing through the little park in the distance would not notice it at all. In addition, Lucia's neck was strangled by Jeanne and she could not make a loud sound. There was no way to call for help.
Jeanne looked fierce, stared at Lucia and refused to let go. "Lucia, you should have died! And your two bastards! If not for Paula that bitch to protect them last time, they would be the ones who were in a coma in their sickbeds!"
These words were like a thunderclap that exploded in Lucia's ears. She had been struggling to find evidence to prove that the
perpetrator was Jeanne, but it had been difficult. But now she had confessed! Sure enough, it was her, she did everything! But at this time, Lucia's neck was tightly strangled by Jeanne. It became more and more difficult for her to breathe. Her face turned from red to blue, and her arms struggled so badly. She was like a dying fish, opening her mouth to try to breathe, but her consciousness diminished little by little, and her limbs were getting weaker and weaker.
'So I'm gonna killed by Jeanne like this?" Lucia thought with the last of her consciousness.
At the moment when Lucia was about to lose consciousness suddenly, a black figure flashed next to her. And then, she vaguely saw a man appear behind Jeanne, and he raised his hand and hit the back of Jeanne's neck! Instantly, Jeanne rolled her eyes and her body went limp. She released Lucia and fell down.
The restraint on her neck suddenly loosened, and Lucia also felt her legs limb. She leaned towards the rockery, gasped and
covered her neck in a panic with both her hands. An unbearable pain spread in her neck.
She looked at the fainted Jeanne on the ground, and then at the man who knocked her out. He looked as normal, bowed
slightly at her, said nothing, and left.
Lucia froze. She somehow felt that the man looked familiar. Before she could recall, the man had already walked away. She
was panting heavily, but her throat was so sore that she couldn't make a sound right away. She took a step and quickly chased after the man. After a few steps, a light bulb went off in Lucia's head. A picture came into her mind, and the man's face coincided with that. Once she saw him behind August. He seemed to be August's subordinate.
Lucia's heart tightened and she immediately accelerated her steps to chase after him. If this man was August's subordinate, then he might know August's whereabouts.
Although it was not clear why he had helped her, she could not easily pass up the opportunity presented to her. After
following the man out of the hospital entrance and walking along the sidewalk for a while, Lucia's voice slowly recovered and she struggled to make a sound, "Wait..wait a minute!"
The man seemed to know that she was following him, and when he heard her voice, he turned around. There was no look of surprise on his face. He just stared at her motionlessly.
Lucia took a deep breath, and her throat also felt a little pain. She swallowed her saliva then eagerly asked, "You are August's people?”
The man keenly swept around to see that there was no one else, and only then nodded slightly. Lucia was cheered up immediately, like grabbing a life-saving straw. She quickly lowered his voice and said, "Do you know where he is now?"
Once she said that, the man's face immediately flashed a trace of gloominess. He slightly shook his head, with the corners of his eyes drooping. Seeing this, Lucia also felt a little lost. She paused, thinking of what just happened, and then asked, "Thank you, but why did you save me?"
If he said it was chance encounter or a coincidence, she would not believe it at all. She and Jeanne were behind the rockery,
so remote that no one would see them. Then how did he rush over to save her?

The man was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Mr. Adams arranged for me to covertly protect you. You went aboard
before so I could not do my duty, so I have been in the country. Only two days ago I learned that you returned, so I continued to follow you, covertly protect you."
At these words, Lucia was a little surprised, and then a warm current sprang up in her heart. She did not expect that August
had actually sent someone to protect her secretly. But now, his own whereabouts were still unknown...
Lucia felt a little blue. She looked at the man, took a deep breath and said, “Now August's whereabouts are unknown. I have been looking for clues these days, but no progress.”
The man hesitated for a moment and asked, “Can I join you in your investigation?"
Lucia raised her eyes towards him. This man was young, and seemed to be a few years younger than her. He got his skin. tanned and looked simple and honest. She could see from his face that he was an honest and loyal man.
"What's your name?” Asked Lucia.
"Mr. Adams called me Zane."
Lucia nodded slightly and agreed, "Good, then Zane, you can work with me on looking for August together.”
Now she was exactly short of manpower, and Zane was also August's staff. He would know some things better than she did. He would help a lot in this investigation, plus this matter as not as simple as they thought, they might encounter some danger in the future. With him, she could felt more at ease.
Zane's face finally softened a little. He said with some excitement, "Good, I'm following you from now on, Ms. Mitchell!"
