Miss Alice
Grandpa Shen was sure that most of the guests were there to ask about the miracle doctor's whereabouts.
"Old Shen!"
An old man stood up. Sitting beside him was the doll-like girl. Her skin was so pale that it was almost transparent. She sat quietly on the chair, looking weak and sickly. She had a pair of green eyes, indicating that she wasn't a pure Chinese. Her long, curly, chestnut-brown hair draped loosely over her shoulders. She was beautiful, but she looked like a doll that had lost its soul.
It was more or less empty.
"Alice, can you go out for a moment? Dirk is waiting for you outside. Stay with him. "
The girl's eyes took up almost half of her face. If one kept staring at them, they would feel a little scared.
She nodded slowly and stood up. She lifted the hem of her dress and bowed slightly to the people present. Then, with light steps, she quietly walked out.
She was so obedient that it made one's heart ache.
The old man exhaled and said with a bitter smile, "I was entrusted by a friend to come here. Alice is the Earl Of Lankester's most beloved daughter. She was designated as his successor when she was born. Moreover, her mother was a princess of the royal family. It could be said that if something were to happen to her, it would affect the fate of countless people in the two families. I also know that this sudden visit is somewhat abrupt, but the Earl Of Lankester has no other choice. All the famous doctors in the Western countries are helpless against Miss Alice's illness. They have no other choice but to turn their eyes to China. "
"Elder Hou, you're putting me in a difficult position."
Old Master Shen shook his head and refused to say anything.
Old Hou was not in the business world, but he had a huge network of connections, and the power in his hands was even more shocking. Now that he had made an appearance, it was probably because he wanted to give face to the Earl Of Lankester and also because there were benefits to be had.
'These schemers are all dirty …'
As the saying went, one would not wake up early if there were no benefits. Old Master Shen did not believe that he really did not have any ulterior motives.
Elder Hou was also helpless. "How about this, you only need to tell me the whereabouts of the Godly Doctor, and I will personally bring people to invite him. How about that? “
"Oh? Bring someone to invite him? "
Old Master Shen was amused. His smile was cold.
"Elder Hou, are you planning to use your authority to suppress me?"
"How would I dare?" Old Hou also smiled, and the undercurrent in the study room surged. "I've already said that it's an invitation. When the time comes, no matter what the godly doctor requests, we will do our best to satisfy it."
"What if her only request is not to receive any patients?"
Old Master Shen asked.
The study room quieted down, and the air seemed to condense into a solid form, pressing down heavily on everyone's heads.
Old Hou narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Old Shen, don't you want to hear the benefits that the Earl Of Lankester offered? Old Shen, you know that I'm not the kind of person who would harm the people. I'm doing this for the sake of China. If we can cure Alice, then the royal family of Y Country will owe us a big favor, and the huge investment — "
Old Master Shen held the teacup and took a sip.
So it was an investment. Indeed, if he could pull in such a large amount of investment, it would be a great contribution.
Unfortunately, with his current position, there were too few things that could tempt him.
The others also tried to persuade him, but they were stopped by Old Master Shen's light gaze.
Old Hou smiled bitterly. "Are you really not willing?"
"Sigh …"
Old Master Shen sighed and put down the teacup.
"How should I put it? It's not that I'm not willing, but I can't. Besides, even if I say it, do you really think that you can invite him? Forgive me for being blunt, but that person is also protected. Otherwise, do you think that for such a long time, there are so many big shots from all walks of life investigating? But look, have you found out? "
