“I suddenly realize that medicine is so simple. At least I can understand it. On the other hand, I used to think that history is very easy as well. Turns out that I was just too shallow.”

“Are you a doctor?”

“Kind of.”

“Why kind of?”

“I don’t have a medical license.”

“So are you a fabled illegal doctor?”

“Why fabled?”

“At least you’re the first illegal doctor that I know.”

“What’s your impression of illegal doctors?”

“Before I met you, I thought they all have scruffy beard and their bodies are all filled with the smell of alcohol. They wander around in stinky streets, treating gang criminals and prostitutes.”

“Your last sentence is not wrong. In fact, my patients do include these two kinds of people.”

“Which patient has left the deepest impression in your mind?”

“Hmm... Someone pointed a gun at my head. If I failed to save the patient, I would die as well. I think that was the most shocking experience I’ve ever had in my medical career.”

“You must have been so scared back then.”

“Yes, I was. I thought I was dead for sure. You need to know that in my own country, you can hardly see any guns. Apart from the police, I’ve never seen anyone carry a gun before, except in films of course. My intermediary told me that my patients would follow the rules and not harm the doctor, but he clearly overestimated the power of the rules.”

“But have you ever imagined that even after you saved the patient, you might still die?”

“Not really. After all, that gang leader did not have any more reasons to kill me.”

“It might not be that gang. Perhaps it’ll be that female killer.”

Chen Zhao came to an abrupt halt. Kelly also stopped. Smiling, she stared at Chen Zhao.

“I’ve seen you before.”

“Seems like you’ve recognized me, but I’ve seen you twice. First time was outside Tanzan’s place. I was in the shadows and I saw you walk in just before me. The second time was behind the counter in the motel. You were the only person who saw me. Anyway, what really surprises me is that you only managed to recognize me just now.”

Chen Zhao could feel his hands and feet turn cold. Little did he expect the sexy lady before him to be a female killer.

Moreover, she had not one, but two reasons to kill him.

Firstly, Chen Zhao ruined her mission, saving the person whom she was going to kill.

During their second encounter, he was the only witness.

“Return me the thing,” Kelly demanded.

“What thing?”

“The thing that bounty hunter gave you.

“You mean the man whom you killed in the motel? I don’t know him, and we’ve also not had any form of contact. I didn’t take anything from him.”

“Chen, you don’t benefit in any way by doing this. You’re getting yourself involved in something you really shouldn’t have. This is very dangerous for you.” Kelly’s tone turned somewhat freezing as murderous intent flashed across her face.

“I really have no idea what you’re talking about. Perhaps you should tell me what you’re looking for. Maybe I can help you find it.”

“Stop acting. I’m not that easily deceived. Also, don’t even attempt to call for help. Trust me; I can definitely kill you before anyone hears you and then escape.”

Kelly’s threatening words crushed Chen Zhao’s courage to call for help.

Chen Zhao did not know how strong Kelly was. If she could kill a person in a few moves just like killers in films, he would have no chance of surviving.

Of course, even if Kelly was not a killer, he would still probably lose to her.

After all, he was a doctor, while Kelly was an athlete. There was still a difference in their physical strength.

“Fine. The thing’s in my room,” Chen Zhao said helplessly.

“I’ve searched your room long ago. There’s nothing.”

“You searched my room? When?” Chen Zhao could feel his hair standing. She actually searched his room without his knowledge. Was it when he was sleeping?

“In fact I’ve done it more than once... You’ve guessed it. They were all when you were asleep.” Kelly confirmed Chen Zhao’s worst fear, as if she could read his mind.

“Did you search the metal box on my table?” Chen Zhao asked.

“What metal box?”

“Did you overlook it? I hid the thing in that box.”

“There’s no metal box in your room.”

Chen Zhao was testing Kelly. He knew that demons could not see the metallic box, but he was unsure if humans could see it. Therefore, he wanted to use Kelly to get the answer.

Just like what he had expected, Kelly was also unable to see the box.

In other words, only Chen Zhao could see and touch the metallic box.

“Let’s return to the motel.”

Chen Zhao was unwilling to cooperate. However, after Kelly took out a dagger from her back, Chen Zhao could only follow her order.

As they approached the motel, Kelly walked up and held Chen Zhao’s waist. “You know what to do. Don’t speak redundantly.”

“Yo, Chen, you’ve actually met such a beautiful woman during your morning run. What a lucky bastard. Beauty, can I have your number?” Behind the counter, Ethan stared in surprise at the intimate couple.

Chen Zhao’s smile looked really forced. “I’ll return to my room first.”

“Are you going to do such a vigorous exercise early in the morning? Right...” Ethan glanced at Kelly who looked really gorgeous. If he was in Chen Zhao’s shoes, he would probably be eager as well.

When they reached Chen Zhao’s room, Chen Zhao paused, reluctant to move forward.

“Open the door, quick.”

Chen Zhao could feel that dagger sting his waist. With no other options, he could only open the door.

Kelly pushed Chen Zhao into the room, after which she scanned every corner briefly.

“Where did you hide the thing?”

“On the bed.” Chen Zhao glanced at the metallic box on the table.

“Just now you said it’s in a box on the table, and now you say it’s on the bed?”

“Do you see anything on the table?”

“Stop wasting my time. Give me the thing.”

Chen Zhao walked forward. He was about to grab the blanket when Kelly stopped him. “Stand back.”

Kelly was a professional killer. Worried that Chen Zhao had hidden a weapon on the bed, she had to be careful.

Kelly removed the blanket, but there was nothing underneath. “Where is it?”

“Below the pillow.”

Kelly lifted the pillow up. Suddenly, she felt a cold sensation on her hand. She lowered her head and saw a colorful venomous snake around her arm, biting onto her hand.

Kelly immediately wanted to kill the snake with her dagger, but the snake’s reaction was even faster. It immediately climbed onto Kelly’s upper arm.

Then, Kelly felt somewhat dizzy and was unable to stand straight.

“You...” Kelly sat onto the ground. Raising her head, she realized that Chen Zhao was already in front of her.
