"Chen …" Ethan barged into Chen Zhao's room again.
"Can you leave me alone?"
"I have business."
"How much?"
"Two hundred dollars."
"So low?"
"You don't have anything to do now anyway. If you don't want it, I'll reject it."
"Fine. Give me the address."
"I'll drive you there."
"Wait … Are you going to kill me because I discovered your secret?"
Ethan slapped his forehead. "God, can you stop talking about this? I already said it wasn't me."
"I'll have Vincent pick me up."
"Fine, whatever." Ethan left angrily.
"I'm joking. Drive me there."
Ethan stopped the car at Morgan Building. "Do you want me to wait for you here?"
"Are you sure there aren't dozens of killers waiting for me?"
Ethan opened the toolbox beside him. There was a gun inside. "If you keep talking, I'll blow your head off with this gun, you * sshole … 78th floor, Room 7802."
Chen Zhao went to the 78th floor and found Room 7802. He pressed the doorbell.
A delicate woman opened the door. However, she seemed to be stained with blood.
"Uh, hi, I'm a doctor. Ethan recommended me. Are you hurt anywhere?"
"Come in."
"Can I bring my pet?"
The woman looked down at Beelzebub beside Chen Zhao. She moved aside and let Chen Zhao and Beelzebub in.
However, when Chen Zhao entered the room, he saw another person lying on the ground.
Chen Zhao wanted to turn around immediately, but then he realized that the woman was holding a bloody fruit knife.
"Help my sister stop the bleeding. Don't let her die."
"Is she your sister?"
"Yes." Chen Zhao put down the toolbox.
The woman on the ground had been stabbed in the stomach. She was seriously injured.
Chen Zhao opened the woman's eyelids. Her pupils were unfocused and her breathing was weak.
Chen Zhao injected a small amount of morphine into the woman. Morphine was an analgesic and very effective.
Of course, morphine was also a controlled drug. It could only be bought in pharmacies with a prescription from a doctor.
Chen Zhao had bought it through Ethan. He had a way to do it.
The next step was to stitch up the wound. At the moment, he had not found a way to buy blood of different blood types.
Ethan was also helping Chen Zhao pay attention to this. Ethan had many connections to illegal drugs, but he rarely used blood for medical purposes. After all, every profession had its own threshold.
Chen Zhao could only use some demonic crystals to stimulate the woman's life force. Right now, the woman's body was very weak and she couldn't bear the impact of too many demonic crystals. However, as long as he controlled the amount, demonic crystals would be great nourishment.
This was something that Chen Zhao had discovered himself. It was how to use demonic crystals.
However, the consultation fee for this treatment was only two hundred dollars.
According to the market price, it would definitely be a loss. However, saving a person could also produce a demonic crystal that was about a year old.
"Wipe your sweat." The woman handed Chen Zhao a tissue.
Chen Zhao sat down. The exterior view of the building was great. The walls were all floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing one to see half of Los Angeles. The interior furniture was also modern, but there seemed to have been a fight in the living room. Broken things were everywhere.
"Can you tell me what happened?" Chen Zhao wasn't sure if he should call the police.
This woman stabbed her own sister and then found a doctor to treat her sister's injuries.
Moreover, she didn't seem to panic at all.
He didn't look like someone who would panic after accidentally injuring someone else. He looked very calm.
It wasn't that Chen Zhao wanted to be nosy. After all, this was a vicious assault. If something happened to her sister after Chen Zhao left, as the only person who had entered the scene, Chen Zhao might be investigated.
"You don't recognize me?"
"Uh … You're a celebrity?" Chen Zhao was confused.
"That's true. I'm just a third-rate actor. It's normal that you don't recognize me."
"Then between you and your sister …"
"Are you willing to listen to our story?"
"I'm all ears."
"I stole her role, so we fought. As you can see, I almost killed her," the woman said calmly.
She didn't seem to blame herself at all. "We're both from Texas.
We both yearned for Hollywood. After high school, we came to Los Angeles together, looking for opportunities here. However, my luck is clearly better than Shaliwen's. I've already acted in a few roles. They're not important, but I'm quite satisfied with my current opportunities. On the other hand, Shaliwen can only get some roles without lines. This time, we were competing for the same role and entered the final audition together. However, I'm clearly more experienced, so I won. Shaliwen thought that I should give this chance to her since I've already had so many acting opportunities. But in Hollywood, she can't get any role just because I give it to her. We don't have any say in the roles. We argued and pulled at each other's hair. Then I grabbed a fruit knife and stabbed her. "
Chen Zhao glanced at Shaliwen on the ground. She had already woken up, but she was crying silently. She didn't argue or make a fuss.
Their story wasn't unique. There were too many girls like them in Los Angeles, chasing their dreams of becoming a star.
Hollywood never lacked beauties. They weren't from academies either. They were all unorthodox.
They had no resources or backgrounds. They didn't even have agencies to help them fight for roles.
Perhaps they could become famous overnight if they were lucky, but it was no different from winning the lottery.
It was this almost slim possibility that made countless young girls come to Los Angeles and Hollywood one after another.
However, the elder sister was clearly lucky. At least they could live in such a high-end apartment. She clearly had some income.
An apartment like this cost at least ten thousand dollars a month. Chen Zhao had just made a fortune, but he still couldn't bear to live in such a place.
So, the elder sister's income was definitely not small. At least, small roles couldn't satisfy their expenses.
"Irwin, I'm sorry," Shaliwen finally said. "I apologize for being unreasonable."
"Is your name Shaliwen?" Chen Zhao looked down at the girl. "I'll prescribe some medicine for you later. It's all Chinese medicine. You can buy it from a Chinese pharmacy."
Chen Zhao didn't have a medical license or prescription rights.
So, even if he prescribed some western medicine, they couldn't buy it from a pharmacy.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave now. Oh, the consultation fee is two hundred dollars."
"Do you have time to stay for dinner?" Irwin asked. "Right here."
