The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 994 643: Asking Around from Multiple Sources (Part 2)

Liu Zheng said.

"Alright. I'll cover the money for you first, you can pay me back when you're free."

Black Skull generously said.

"I'm at 'Imhotep Clinic' right now. Nigga, feel free to come over and take the money."

"Alright, I'll be over in a bit."

Black Skull said.

"Okay. If you come and don't see me, just go directly into the clinic to pick up the money, I'll have things arranged beforehand."

He worriedly added, fearing a sudden change in plans.

He hung up the phone and walked into the clinic, finding Doctor Nile drinking honey beer.

"Doctor, are you done?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"The exorcism ceremony is completed, now it's up to the Bai Family."

Doctor Nile said.

"Thanks for your hard work. Xiao Mei, bring me a chair and a cup."

He yelled towards the inner room.

"Okay, Mr. Liu."

The cleaner responded.

"You don't treat yourself like an outsider at all."

Doctor Nile glanced at him askance.

"If I did, you wouldn't be happy."

"Hehe."

Doctor Nile couldn't be bothered to reply.

The cleaner brought over a chair and a cup. Liu Zheng sat down heavily and poured himself a full cup.

"Ahh, that's refreshing~"

He drank it all at once and burped satisfyingly.

Even though he just had a big meal at Jidao Public Bath, a beer with friends after a busy day felt even better.

"If only there were some snacks to go with the drinks, it would be perfect."

Liu Zheng said regretfully, looking at the empty table.

"Do you want me to cook something now?"

Doctor Nile asked on purpose.

"Sure, I love spicy food, remember to add lots of meat!"

He said with a grin.

"There's no meat, but Niu Ma's grass pile is over there. If you're hungry, go gnaw on that."

Doctor Nile rolled his eyes.

"Forget it, I won't fight my boss for food. By the way, Doctor, do you have Doctor Medical Bee's phone number?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I do."

"Let me call. It usually doesn't pick up calls from unknown numbers."

After giving the number, Doctor Nile added.

"Alright."

"Hello, the delivery guy is looking for you."

When the call connected, Doctor Nile handed the phone to Liu Zheng.

"Good afternoon, Doctor Medical Bee."

He politely said as he took the phone.

"Not very good. Just say what you want."

Doctor Medical Bee seemed uninterested in small talk.

"Help me get in touch with Luo Ping. I have another job for him."

Given the circumstances, Liu Zheng cut straight to the point.

"What job?"

"Do you want to know?"

He asked back.

He didn't quite trust Doctor Medical Bee, since it might have ties to the hospital and possibly leak information.

But on the other hand, maybe he could find a breakthrough through Doctor Medical Bee.

"I don't want to. What's your number? I'll let him contact you himself."

Doctor Medical Bee decisively lost interest.

"Alright, take note."

Liu Zheng gave out his number.

"By the way, do you have anything to explain about Niu Daji's sensory changes?"

"There's nothing to explain, it's a new treatment, so unexpected outcomes are normal."

Doctor Medical Bee stubbornly replied.

"Then why didn't you inform me?"

"I told that Minotaur, didn't I? It should've conveyed the message to you."

Doctor Medical Bee defended.

"Doctor Medical Bee, the one who contracted you for the treatment is me, and the one paying is also me; you should be responsible to me first and foremost. You telling Niu Daji was just a way to evade accountability."

"Given Doctor Nile's face, I'll let it go this time. If you pull such tricks on me again, I'll have your pharmacy shut down for a month, not a day more, not a day less."

He exposed Doctor Medical Bee's plan and hung up before it could respond.

"Given my face?"

Doctor Nile looked at him with a half-smile.

"Of course, if it weren't for your face, Doctor, I'd have torched his place already."

Liu Zheng said seriously.

"You're just babbling."

Doctor Nile gave him a glance, but a slight smile appeared on his lips.

After a few minutes, a call from an unknown number came in.

"Hello Mr. Liu, I'm Detective Luo Ping."

The call was connected, and the person on the other side introduced themselves.

"Hello. I have a commission here, wondering if you could take it."

Liu Zheng said.

"Please go ahead. Whether I take it or not, I won't disclose any details of your commission."

Luo Ping said in a very professional manner.

"Alright then. Here's the situation..."

"Hmm... to be honest, this commission is quite tricky."

After listening, he paused for a moment before speaking.

"So you can take it, right?"

Liu Zheng picked up on his implication.

"How much is Mr. Liu willing to pay?"

Luo Ping didn't directly answer his question.

"A million."

Liu Zheng casually quoted a number.

Black Skull's electrician relative wanted thirty thousand, and Luo Ping was a professional detective, so quoting a million seemed about right; if it wasn't enough, they could always add more.

"It seems Mr. Liu is very sincere."

"I could be even more sincere."

He said coolly.

After all, bringing these funds back to reality would result in a bunch of worthless paper; it might not be useful in the next instance either.

And of course, Bai San would surely give him more compensation.

"Hmm... how is Mr. Sha doing lately?"

Luo Ping pondered for a moment and then asked.

"You know Brother Sha?"

Liu Zheng said in surprise.

"We've met once."

"He's alright, lately hanging out in the sewer, growing potatoes, and grilling fish and stuff."

He said openly.

Considering that the sewer and the Garbage Processing Plant were similar, if City Hall wanted to catch him, they would have gone to the Garbage Processing Plant long ago.

And with the Fisherman's help, Sha Jiang might be safer in the sewer than in the Garbage Processing Plant.

Of course, there's no need to mention Sha Jiang's search for an outlet to the sea.

"What about the warrant for him?"

Luo Ping asked again.

"I'm working on it; it shouldn't be a big problem."

Liu Zheng replied vaguely.

With the Ace at the Security Department and Black Skull at the Sanitation Department, regardless of the complexity, at least he knew which mountain to pay homage to and what incense to burn.

"Mr. Sha is lucky to have met you, Mr. Liu, good deeds are always rewarded."

Luo Ping said sentimentally.

"Meeting Brother Sha is my fortune too."

He said earnestly.

If it weren't for Sha Jiang, he might have died the last time he encountered the sewer gases.

"Yes, I'm very fortunate too."

Luo Ping said and then fell silent again.

Liu Zheng didn't rush him, patiently waiting for him to continue.

"I'll take this commission, but I have a few conditions."

After waiting for over ten minutes, Luo Ping finally spoke.

"Go ahead."

"Does Mr. Liu have time now? I'd like to meet with you in person."

Luo Ping said.

"Sure. Do you want to come to me or should I go to you?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"If it's convenient for you, please come to the Old City District; I'll be waiting at Morrison Primary School."

"Morrison Primary School?"

He checked the map, Morrison Primary School was on the southeast corner of the Old City District, nearly outside the city.

"Alright, I'll give you a call before I head over."

He agreed.

He hung up the phone and toyed with the beer mug, deep in thought.

"Are you wondering if this is a trap?"

Doctor Nile asked.

"There's some concern."

He openly admitted.

After all, he had offended too many people now, and the Old City District was outside his main sphere of influence.

"Then let me accompany you."

Doctor Nile volunteered.

"Has your strength recovered?"

"No, but dealing with some small fry shouldn't be a problem."

Doctor Nile shook his head.

"Then forget it."

Given Liu Zheng's enemies' knowledge of him, they certainly wouldn't send small fry to deal with him.

"Then let Ando go with you."

"That's even worse. There are lots of elderly, weak, sick, and disabled here at the clinic. If Ando goes with me, who knows what will happen as soon as we leave."

He decisively refused.

"Then just wait for that Panda to get better before going, there's no rush."

Doctor Nile said.

"Hmm, that's the only option."

Liu Zheng nodded.

As the saying goes, the child of wealth doesn't sit under the eaves.

He didn't think of himself as overly valuable, it's just that many people's hopes are pinned on him right now, and he can't afford to die just yet.
