41: Chapter 40 Ghost Doctor
41 -40 Ghost Doctor
Yang Yizhen was quite angry because he was terrified.
Thinking back, the killer must have set his sights on him the moment he left the house, followed him all the way to the train station, and then trailed him to Southampton.
There must have been countless opportunities to strike during that journey.
And for Dark Night Knight not to send someone to protect him, the lack of protection was indeed a valid reason to be scared.
Yang Yi’s face turned red with anger, particularly when he saw Danny’s indifferent expression, which only made him even angrier.
However, Yang Yi’s anger quickly subsided.
“You choose your path, and you have to see it through, even through tears,” he thought to himself.
Since he had chosen to be the bait, he needed to be prepared to act as bait; Danny was right about that.
Seeing Yang Yi’s face regain its calm, Danny nodded in approval and said, “Not bad.
At least you have the capacity to endure.
I thought you would fly into a rage and then leave.”
Yang Yi sighed and said helplessly, “I’ve come to understand that you really can’t trust what you people say.”
“Congratulations, you’ve quickly grasped a vital life lesson.”
Danny seemed oblivious to Yang Yi’s sarcasm and appeared quite pleased.
Yang Yi waved his hand in resignation and weakly asked, “All right, so we’re not bait anymore, right?
What do we do now?”
“What’s next?
Of course, we make that killer tell us where his accomplices are, have him spill everything he knows, and then quickly wipe them all out.
Oh, since we’ve already caught one alive, you indeed no longer need to be bait; there’s no longer any need for that.”
Yang Yi was puzzled and frowned, “Just one person, can he really divulge everything about the Destroyer?
Is that really possible?”
Danny exhaled and said seriously, “Let’s hope so.
But these killers aren’t likely to be acting alone.
If we can catch one, we can find a second one; find the second, and we’ll find the third.
Slow and steady, no rush.
As long as we have a breakthrough, that’s good enough.”
Yang Yi gestured towards the nurse who was moving around the room from time to time and whispered, “Can you tell me what kind of place this is?
They all seem very formidable.”
Danny smiled and replied, “Oh, Doctor James is the legendary Ghost Doctor.”
“Ghost Doctor?
What do you mean?”
“You have to understand that many injuries are not suitable for a big hospital; that would attract the police.
People from the underground world prefer to avoid dealing with the police whenever possible.
So, anyone serving the underground world and charging hefty fees is often referred to as a Ghost Doctor.
Oh, by the way, that’s what the Huaxia people call them; the foreigners call them Dark Doctor, same thing.”
Yang Yi said quietly, “It seems that Doctor James is more than just a doctor.”
Danny smiled and explained, “You think you’re a genius, but after hearing about Doctor James’s resume, you’ll think he’s even more of a genius.
He passed the bar exam and also holds a medical license.
He’s quite a famous painter, but his most notable former identity was that of an interrogation expert.
If you want to get someone to talk, he’s the right person to go to.”
Yang Yi’s eyes widened, and he stammered, “Damn, he really is a genius.
But, he should be a person with a bright future.
Why did he choose to do these things?”
“Hobbies, interests.
Doctor James used to make false evidence when he was a lawyer.
Later, his clients exposed his actions, and then he switched to practicing medicine.
However, while practicing, he was involved in some not-so-great activities.
Even though he didn’t lose his medical license, he didn’t feel excited about being a doctor, so he started his own clinic.
He’s twisted, you see; having a clinic makes things convenient for him.”
Yang Yi asked quietly, “How is he twisted?”
Danny said, “Well, he enjoys tormenting people, truly enjoys it from the bottom of his heart.
So being able to turn a hobby into a profession is quite good, don’t you think?”
“Hmm, it is quite good…”
Involuntarily, I glanced at Kate, and although she remained silent, her complexion had indeed turned even paler.
Swallowing hard, Yang Yi whispered, “Doesn’t the Destroyer know about this clinic?”
“No, Dr.
James has a very small circle of acquaintances.
He understands that the more famous he is, the quicker he dies.
Basically, he doesn’t have many long-term partners, and we happen to be one of the few.
This time, we just took the opportunity to ask for his assistance.”
“Then, do you think you can definitely get information out of him?”
“Of course, you can’t even imagine how cruel Dr.
James’s perverse actions can be, ugh, it’s giving me goosebumps.”
Danny made a wiping gesture on his arm, and just then, the nurse came out again, expressionless, and said to Danny, “Captain, Dr.
James is asking for you.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Danny stood up, smiled at Yang Yi, and said, “Look, it’s only been ten minutes, just ten minutes.
Fast, isn’t it?
Alright, do you want to come and see?
I think it could be useful to you.
Think about it, if you were in this line of work, you could be treated the same way.
Maybe you would change your mind now.”
Yang Yi swallowed hard and said, “Alright, let’s go take a look…”
Suddenly, Kate said, “I want to have a look, too.”
“You, it’s not really appropriate, but alright, come along.” freēnovelkiss.com
Danny walked ahead, leading Yang Yi and Kate into the operating room.
Dr.
James looked urbane, with his left arm propping his right, his right hand cupping his chin, and a helpless expression on his face as he gazed at the person tied to the operating table.
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk!
Get this freak out of here, make him leave!”
The bound hitman seemed to see a savior in Danny and began to scream as loudly as he could.
Yang Yi glanced over and immediately turned his head, while Kate made a retching noise and promptly closed her eyes.
The hitman didn’t look too pitiful, except for one of his testicles placed in his mouth; there didn’t seem to be much other damage.
“What a shame, he lasted much less time than I expected.”
Dr.
James looked disappointed, while Danny shrugged and said, “Yeah, sorry you didn’t get to play a bit longer.”
After that, Danny looked at the hitman and smiled, “How do you feel?
Want another round?
Or are you ready to tell me everything you know?”
“I’ll talk!
We were six in total, now one dead and one injured!
I came here alone this time because I hadn’t shown my face before, so I was sent to surveil you guys at the fancy restaurant!”
“So, who injured my friend, and where are they now?”
“They have left London!
They’ve left the United Kingdom, I don’t know where they are now, only I was left in London!
My partners haven’t arrived yet, so I acted alone!”
Danny pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, “Do you have a headquarters?
If so, where is it?
Who is your leader, and where is he now?
Tell me all this, and I can give you a quick end.
Otherwise, see this doctor here?
He’s eager to continue.”
