Chapter 116: The Doctor with the Ghost Hand, Xiao Zhen
The car stopped in front of a high-class apartment building in the middle of Haicheng District.
This was an apartment that Bai Zhou had bought in Baiyun City so he could stay by Jian Ai’s side. This time, he didn’t bring anyone else along with him when staying in Baiyun City. He only brought along his attendant, Chi Yang.
The two of them lived in a spacious apartment.
The elevator reached the top floor. Bai Zhou turned and bowed respectfully. “Sect Master, please.”
Jian Ai walked out of the elevator and realized that there was only one house on the top floor. She knew that this was Bai Zhou’s home.
The door opened and Jian Ai followed Bai Zhou into the apartment. The house was decorated in black and white tones in an extremely minimalist style. This matched Bai Zhou’s temperament.
At this moment, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, a man in black was standing with his hands behind his back as he looked into the distance.
Hearing the door open, the man slowly turned around and a firm and cold face slowly appeared in front of Jian Ai.
A sense of distance lingered around the man. His temperament was cold. Although his eyebrows were handsome, there was a sharp cold glint in his eyes. His expression was cold and without any warmth. With just a look, he could make everyone lose interest in communicating with him.
Was he the person Bai Zhou mentioned?
The man raised his eyes to look at Bai Zhou. Suspicion flashed across his eyes as if he were confirming Jian Ai’s identity.
Bai Zhou nodded indifferently and didn’t say anything. In the next second, the man suddenly walked quickly to Jian Ai. Just like the first time Jian Ai saw Bai Zhou, the man knelt on one knee in front of Jian Ai.
“I am one of the twelve guards of the ancient sect. The doctor with the ghost hand, Xiao Zhen, greets the Sect Master!”
Jian Ai was stunned and shock flashed across her face. She did not expect that Bai Zhou would contact one of the twelve guards.
“Get up and talk,” Jian Ai quickly said.
Xiao Zhen said, “Thank you, Sect Master.” Then, he stood up.
Jian Ai carefully sized up the man in front of her before saying, “You are also one of the twelve guards?”
Xiao Zhen looked up at Bai Zhou when he heard that. It was as if he was asking him if he had told the Sect Master about his identity before.
When Bai Zhou saw this, he quickly went forward to explain, “Sect Master, he is the doctor with the ghost hand, who is ranked seventh among the twelve guards. You’ve always instructed me not to disturb the peaceful lives of the rest of the twelve guards. However, I can’t do it this time. Only with Xiao Zhen coming over would you not have any worries.”
“Sect Master, we should stay by your side. You don’t have to worry too much,” Xiao Zhen said.
Jian Ai nodded slightly. She seemed to have picked up the position of the Sect Master from the streets, but she did not expect so many talented people to be so loyal to her. They were all strangers whom she had never met.
At this moment, Chi Yang made hot tea and brought it to them. They sat on the sofa and started to talk about Wang Yunmei’s illness.
“My mother has liver cancer, and her cancer cells have started to spread. According to what I know about the current international medical standards, she can only rely on chemotherapy to maintain a few years of life. For her to be completely cured is as difficult as ascending to the heavens,” Jian Ai looked at Xiao Zhen and said.
“Don’t worry, Sect Master. Leave this to me.” Xiao Zhen did not have many expressions but his tone was firm.
Jian Ai couldn’t help but tear up. “Are you that confident?”
Bai Zhou could not help but laugh softly. “His title as the doctor with the ghost hand is not for nothing. If he wants someone to die at midnight, no one can keep past two in the morning. However, if he wants to save someone’s life, as long as this person is still alive, even the King of Hades would not dare to take him in.”
