After throwing out the apprentice, Dr. Xu was still angry. But now
that the patient’s information had been leaked, there’s nothing he could do to
undo that.
“Hi, Dr. Xu!”
A chubby man walked inside the clinic. Dr. Xu looked up and saw
Innkeeper Zhu, they have been acquaintances from a while back. He forced a
smile and cupped his hand to greet him, “ Oh, hi, Innkeeper Zhu, what can I do
for you?”
“Dr. Xu, I came with a purpose. I have a favor to ask and I hope
you can help me.” Said Innkeeper Zhu with a big friendly smile on his face.
As soon as he heard that, Dr. Xu immediately had a bad feeling. It
sounded too similar to the request that he had gotten around noon time. He took
a defensive stance and asked coldly, “What is this favor that you want to ask?”
“Ho ho, Dr. Xu, nothing important. Just want to ask for some
information. I hope you won’t turn me down!”
Information!
Dr. Xu’s face changed color, he sounded even colder, “Okay, what
information!”
“Dr. Xu, you see, we have placed an order with the Cheng’s mother
and daughter, but they haven’t delivered the order yet, so I thought….”
“Stop!” coldly interrupted Dr. Xu and pointed toward the door, “I
don’t know any Cheng’s mother or daughter. I don’t have what you want. Please
see yourself out!”
“Aiya, Dr. Xu, what is the matter with you?”
Innkeeper Zhu had not expected Dr. Xu’s sudden change of
mannerism, he was anxious, “Dr. Xu, I happened to know that you have a few
house visits with Mrs. Cheng. Please, just tell me where I can find them. I
will repay you handsomely!”
“Innkeeper Zhu, as I have said. I don’t know. Please go!”
“Aiya, Dr. Xu, what is the matter with you….”
“Get out, get out, I have patients to see. Hurry and get out!”
“Dr. Xu…”
“Get out! I don’t have any information. Get out!”
Innkeeper Zhu got booted out of the clinic by Dr. Xu and had no
choice but to walk away slowly with a perturbed look. He couldn’t figure out
why Dr. Xu had to be so rude. He was merely asking for some information.
What could he do if he still couldn’t locate the mother and
daughter? His assignment was still unaccomplished.
House of Ning!
“Willow Village?” Old Man Ning had never heard of this village
before.
The Butler explained, “Master, Willow Village is not that far away
from us. You can get there on foot in 4-6 hours; if you travel by horse, it
will only take about an hour.”
“That’s excellent. Ko Yang, go there quickly and find out whether
the mother and daughter really live in Willow Village. And, find out at the
same time where they get the mythical animals.”
“Master, it’s getting late. This might not be the best time to go.
Why don’t I go first thing n the morning? I will bring some gifts with me, that
ought to make things easier when I talk to them.” Ko Yang spoke up.
“Right, right. I was being too impatient. It’s inappropriate to
visit at this hour, inappropriate!” Old Man Ning was very happy after the news.
Happily he said, “Ko Yang, bring some fancy gifts with you tomorrow, be
respectful. If there are any mythical animals, you can make the decisions and
buy them.”
“Yes, Master!”
