Chapter 1260 558: Ordinary (Part 2)
Ding Hui was deep in thought, but unexpectedly, the group outside the door politely knocked.
"Divine Doctor Ding! Excuse me, is Ding Hui, Divine Doctor Ding, inside?"
Are they looking for... me??
Ding Hui was a bit dumbfounded.
If these Foolish Underworld people were looking for Diao Deyi, that would make sense, considering Diao Deyi might have offended them recently. Coming over for revenge would be normal.
If these Foolish Underworld people were looking for the woman from the neighboring Rebel Army, that would also make sense. The bounty for capturing the Rebel Army in Thunder City is quite high, and capturing them is something the Foolish Underworld must do.
But instead, this group... turns out they're looking for me??
Immediately, Ding Hui figured it out.
She narrowed her eyes slightly.
With Fang Yu absent now, she couldn't afford to fall into enemy hands.
Pondering, she spoke.
"What do you want?"
"Divine Doctor Ding, I apologize for the late visit. It's just that my sister's situation is critical, on the brink of life and death. Miracle Doctor Mo says only Divine Doctor Ding can save her. Please, I beg for your benevolent hand to save my sister!"
Seeking me to save someone without even meeting?
Ding Hui sneered.
Bringing people with you, is this asking for help, or forcing it?
And besides...
"I recognize your voice. Last night at the White Cloud Inn, you were the one who injured my husband."
Ding Hui stated bluntly.
"It was all a misunderstanding! I know whatever I say, Divine Doctor Ding might not believe, but here is Miracle Doctor Mo's handwritten letter. Please, Divine Doctor Ding, take a look before making a decision..."
Ding Hui frowned slightly. She had interacted with Lao Mo a few times.
But they weren't actually familiar with each other.
Lao Mo's medical skill, in her opinion, was too 'mediocre'.
Not that the healing ability was lacking, but rather it lacked inspiration and the adventurous spirit necessary to become a top-tier doctor.
Ding Hui had judged at the time that Lao Mo's accomplishments in life would stop here.
Whereas she was continuously climbing, constantly exploring, from the integration of demon and human bodies to now researching the unity of Human Demon Spirit, and onto composite research on bloodline spirit and array constraints...
In other words, she was continuously exploring new fields, always breaking through and delving deeper.
Lao Mo, on the other hand, belonged to the most ordinary type of divine doctor, having medical skills at the adequate level, able to handle common injuries and diseases with skill acquired through practice.
But that was all.
This was a difference in the path, so naturally, Ding Hui and Lao Mo's interactions weren't deep.
However, one thing was certain, even under the pressure from the Foolish Underworld, Lao Mo wouldn't deceive her; he wasn't that kind of person.
Looking at the envelope handed over through the crack under the door, Ding Hui picked it up and was instantly intrigued by the contents of the letter.
The letter contained only some professional terminology, describing the patient's situation almost matter-of-factly.
As the simple words unfolded, Ding Hui felt as if she was standing before the patient, seeing each wound clearly, understanding every change in the injuries and reactions to medications as if witnessing them firsthand.
"As a recorder, this guy might be a genius in some sense?"
Ding Hui pondered.
Without any subjective guesses or excessive description, the letter was like a patient's examination report, explaining the patient's condition in detail.
The only issue was, the writer couldn't understand what was happening to the patient.
Yet Ding Hui, merely through these very simple written records, could roughly discern the patient's current situation.
"Interesting, I didn't expect anyone besides me to be delving into the integration of humans and demons."
"Clearly not a Demon Martial Artist, yet showing signs of demonization, bodily reactions..."
She had to admit; Ding Hui was hooked.
...
Outside the room.
No movement!
Still no movement!
Song Zhenrong clenched his fists nervously.
Miracle Doctor Mo's confident letter claimed that as soon as Divine Doctor Ding saw it, she would be willing to come with him.
But now the letter was delivered inside, and quite some time had passed with still no reaction from the inside.
Where did Miracle Doctor Mo's peculiar confidence come from!
And on top of everything, the Divine Doctor Ding inside was a companion to the outsider he just had a conflict with.
With this relationship stacked, Song Zhenrong almost felt there was no way to persuade her to come and save his sister.
And if he used force...
Not to mention if it would work, a doctor brought back by force wouldn't genuinely help you save someone.
Even if forced, making her willing to save, who knows how many hidden risks she might leave behind.
Such matters can only be addressed with sincerity and benefits to persuade the other party.
Song Zhenrong was willing to give money and resources, even hoping the other party would demand a high price.
You can earn money again, but without his sister's life, there'd be nothing left.
"Captain, there's no movement inside. Should we..."
His trusted follower made a pretense of pushing the door, but was glared back by Song Zhenrong.
He was here to seek life-saving help, not to force others to do it.
The slight difference in relations means the difference between his sister's life and death!
Fortunately, at this moment, there was a sound from the room.
The sound of approaching footsteps.
Accompanied by a creak.
The door.
Opened.
...
Soon after.
Most of the Foolish Underworld's people withdrew.
Only a few remained, waiting at the inn.
They were waiting for someone, but that person had yet to return from outside.
...
Forest Snake Gang.
"Spare me, sir!!"
Boss of the Forest Snake Gang was almost kneeling on the ground, tearfully clinging to Fang Yu's leg.
As a gang leader, at this moment, he had virtually no dignity left, crying so sincerely and pitifully that even Fang Yu was getting goosebumps.
"So, you are just a scapegoat?"
"Sir, a stand-in! Just a stand-in! Not a scapegoat! I don't want to die, sir..."
As he spoke, he even wiped his nose on Fang Yu's pants, quite disgusting.
Looking at his blood bar above his head.
Only a mere 1000 health.
But according to him, the real boss of the Forest Snake Gang wasn't even as strong as him!
However, the real boss of the Forest Snake Gang had powerful personal guards protecting him, unlike him, who didn't even have decent protection.
Fang Yu frowned.
"Since you are a stand-in, where is he?"
"I don't know."
The boss of the Forest Snake Gang shook his head like a rattle drum.
"I rarely see him, maybe once a month at most, sometimes not even for two or three months."
Hearing this, Fang Yu became puzzled.
"Then how does he manage the gang?"
"I manage it!"
The boss of the Forest Snake Gang pointed to himself with his finger.
"Ever since that old guy tricked me into coming here, I have been handling everything in the Forest Snake Gang, from top to bottom, from old to young, every person and affair, almost all by myself! That old guy isn't seen all day, it's unclear where he went to enjoy himself!!"
As he spoke, the boss of the Forest Snake Gang was full of indignation and resentment.
Completely unaware that Fang Yu's gaze had gradually turned unfriendly.
"So, it was you who sent people to hunt me down, huh?"
The boss of the Forest Snake Gang was stunned at this.
Only then did he raise his head to size up Fang Yu.
Unfamiliar.
Very unfamiliar.
Earlier when it was dark, he got subdued with a move, so the boss of the Forest Snake Gang submitted on the spot, immediately realizing he encountered a master and decisively abandoned dignity to seek survival.
Never did he think that someone was here for revenge, not on the true boss, but on him, the fake one!!
"Mis-misunderstanding!"
The boss of the Forest Snake Gang raised his voice unconsciously.
"Sir, it's all a misunderstanding, I didn't know! May I ask your honorable name, sir?"
