Chapter 153: The Eccentric Doctor (II)
Long thought for a moment and said, “Let me go out with you today.”
“Oh?” s.h.i.+ raised his eyebrows. “Why’s that?”
“Nothing. I just want to go out with you,” Long said. s.h.i.+ smiled. “Well, just come with me later.”
They went out together after having breakfast. As for this day’s memorials, some of them went to the left prime minister and some of them went to two first-cla.s.s ministers.
Except for a few confidential ones, all the others were distributed.
When s.h.i.+ and Long walked on the street, they heard the common people were discussing.
No one was killed the previous night. Some people said that the blood-sucking demon was afraid of the government and hid away.
Some people said that the demon was hurt by a swordsman who had killed many demons and he was recovering.
Some people said that the demon also needed rest. He didn’t like killing every day and was resting.
There were a lot of versions.
Long frowned slightly. “Qingzhou, although the murderer hasn’t caused deep anxiety among the people, I always feel it’s strange that he didn’t kill anyone last night.”
s.h.i.+ nodded. “It’s really strange.”
Long looked at s.h.i.+. “Where are we going?”
After thinking about it, s.h.i.+ said, “Let’s go to the mansion, but you must be careful.”
“Well?” Long raised his eyebrows.
“Always stay with me,” s.h.i.+ said.
“You suspect… Zhou Yu’er?” Long said.
s.h.i.+ didn’t deny. He nodded directly. “Yes, she’s weird.”
“Well, I see what you mean. I won’t stay with her alone,” Long said directly.
s.h.i.+ smiled and felt relieved. “Good.”
After Long made the promise, the two of them went to the mansion.
When they arrived, Long saw a man in front of the gate. That man… was walking around the gate. He kept staring at the ground and looked very weird.
s.h.i.+ narrowed his eyes.
Long asked, “Who is he?”
“Shadow Guardians are guarding this place and suspicious people are not allowed to come here. Now that he is here, he must be the eccentric ‘Miracle Worker’,” s.h.i.+ a.n.a.lyzed.
Long raised his eyebrows. “Oh? Is that him?”
s.h.i.+ said, “Let’s go to take a look.”
“Yes.” Long smiled and then walked to that man with s.h.i.+.
When he realized that there was someone in front of him, that strange man raised his head.
Long and s.h.i.+ were stunned.
They didn’t expect that this doctor… would be… such a beautiful man!
Yes, he was indeed beautiful.
Maybe it was a little strange to use the word “beautiful” to describe a man, but it was the perfect word for him.
This man had fine facial features and it was hard to tell how old he was.
“Well, who are you?” That beautiful man asked Long and s.h.i.+.
s.h.i.+ said, “The owner of this mansion.”
“Oh?” That man opened his mouth in astonishment. Then, he chuckled. “So you’re the emperor and empress.”
Not so many people dared to talk like that in front of the emperor and empress.
Long thought this man… was quite interesting.
“Yes, you’re right,” Long said.
The good-looking man smiled. As his eyes and lips curled, he looked much more beautiful.
s.h.i.+ felt a little unhappy, but he didn’t show it. s.h.i.+ said, “You are the eccentric ‘Miracle Worker’ that they call?”
Long was worried that the word “eccentric” would make that man unhappy, so he pulled s.h.i.+’s sleeve.
Unexpectedly, the beautiful doctor laughed. “Yes! That’s just me!”
s.h.i.+ pursed his lips and said coldly, “I’ve heard a lot about you.”
“What are you doing here?” Long interrupted.
The doctor glanced at Long. “Looking for something.”
“Oh? What can you find here?” Long asked in bewilderment.
“I don’t know yet.” That doctor waved. “That’s why I’m looking for it.”
No wonder others said he was eccentric. There was no logic at all!
Then, s.h.i.+ said to Long, “Since he’s looking for something, we’d better not disturb him. Let’s go inside first.”
“Okay.” No matter what that man was looking for, Long thought what s.h.i.+ said made sense. They shouldn’t disturb him.
So, Long and s.h.i.+ went inside.
After entering the gate, Long held s.h.i.+’s hand.
s.h.i.+ turned his head and looked at Long with doubt.
Long smiled. “Qingzhou, why do I feel… you don’t like that doctor?”
s.h.i.+ was slightly stunned. He admired Long for his great perception.
However, s.h.i.+ did not say anything.
Long held s.h.i.+’s hand and stopped walking. He asked s.h.i.+ to look at him. “What’s the matter? Can’t you tell me?”
s.h.i.+ pursed his lips and shook his head. “Nothing can’t be said… It’s just not necessary.”
“Not necessary?” Long raised his eyebrows.
“I…”
“Qingzhou,” Long interrupted s.h.i.+, “I think we can be completely honest with each other. If you don’t like him, we can just let him leave.”
After hearing Long’s sincere words, Long felt relieved.
s.h.i.+ smiled. “I don’t know why, but… I just don’t like his character.”
“Oh?” Long blinked in surprise. “It’s like this…”
“Yes.” s.h.i.+ nodded. “But… as long as he has the ability, I don’t care what kind of man he is. That’s why I said it was not necessary to say it.”
After hearing those words, Long held s.h.i.+’s hand with a smile. “All right, since you said that, let’s see what he’s got. If he’s not capable, we’ll just drive him away.”
s.h.i.+’s lips slightly curled upwardly. “Mhmm.” He responded softly.
