Chapter 36 part2




Deacon Lin had a barbarous look in his eyes.He was the dangerous kind and will use any means to get what he wanted.
Deacon Bai, aware of what kind of personhe was, frowned but didn’t say anything otherwise. After all they haven’t beenable to located them all this time, they were running out of options. So, inorder to locate the Cheng’s, this was necessary.
Innkeeper Zhu was worried and couldn’thelp but to say, “Dr. Xu was pretty well respected among the town folks. Youdon’t want to stir up too much trouble.”
“Tsk, a town several thousand of townsmen,so what if he is well-respected? Our master has more servants than men in thistown, what do I care about this old man Xu? He will cooperate if he knows anybetter!”
“I don’t think we should cause too much ofa ruckus before we learned on the Cheng’s background!” Deacon Bai gave hisruthless partner a sideway glance and said in a deep voice.
Innkeeper Zhu agreed whole-heartedly.After all, he had been living here for tens of years and this was his town.Besides, if things blew up and other townsmen found out he had to do with allthese, he wouldn’t be able to face them ever again.
Deacon Lin is cold-blooded, but notmurderous. He sneered and didn’t insist any more.
“Nobody else other than Dr. Xu had been tothe Cheng’s?” asked Deacon Bai.
“This
.”
Innkeeper Zhu thought over all the gossipsin the last couple of days. He hesitated for a bit and said, “I heard that thepharmacy apprentice Shen Tang had been booted out of Huichun Clinic, but I don’t know whether that was true.”
“Kicked out of Huichun Clinic? Is that true? Do we know why?”
“Words had it that he leaked some personalinformation about some patient. I don’t know the details!”
“What?”
Deacon Bai looked concerned upon hearingthis news. Deacon Lin and Innkeeper Zhu didn’t understand what was botheringhim and why the sudden reaction.\nInnkeeper Zhu asked in a lowered voice,“Deacon Bai, what’s the matter?”
“If this was true, I’m afraid someone hadalready been to the Cheng’s. We are already late!” Deacon Bai had a solemnexpression.
“What do you mean?” Deacon Lin stilldidn’t catch the implication of this.
“I mean someone had already found theCheng’s through Huichun Clinic’spharmacy apprentice!”
Deacon Bai had a complicated expression.He then looked at Innkeeper Zhu and continued, “If Innkeeper Zhu have heardthat Dr. Xu had make house calls to the Cheng’s; then other would have heard ofit as well. We could gathered that the other party had also been rejected byDr. Xu but then paid off his apprentice for the information. Which was why Dr.Xu kicked him out after finding out about it.”
And Deacon Bai had figured out whatexactly had transpired.
