Benjamin Hanks didn't expect things to turn out this way, and could only stand there, dumbfounded, watching Claire Green leave.
"Look at you, can't even handle such a small matter without offending someone," the man chastised him with a voice full of disappointment.
Hearing this, Benjamin Hanks lowered his head, looking like he got the message.
After a moment, he mumbled to himself, "Who would've thought Emma White had such a temper?"
The man saw his lips moving and glared at him, "What are you muttering about?"
"Nothing?" Benjamin Hanks quickly shook his head, "Dad, what do we do next?"
Oliver Hanks frowned, thought for a moment, "Go contact other experts in Chinese medicine and see what they say."
Since they're all in Chinese medicine, they should be fine.
Upon hearing this, Benjamin Hanks' eyes lit up. Right! We can find someone else, why didn't I think of that?
"I'll go now."
...
Claire Green left the Hanks' residence under a low pressure, her brows furrowed with hostility, her face icy.
At this moment, her phone in her pocket vibrated. She leisurely took it out to look.
[How are things going.]
Claire Green's slender fingers tapped on the screen a few times and then turned it off.
[I refused.]
Over on Nether Lord's side, upon seeing the message, he was a bit stunned. How did it get refused?
But knowing J's personality, it was probably the client who was the problem.
Thinking this, he couldn't suppress his curiosity, and lazily dialed the number.
When the phone rang, Claire Green wasn't surprised at all, almost as if she had expected it.
As soon as she picked up, an excited voice came through, "J, tell me quickly, what happened?"
She honestly hadn't expected that J had medical skills. If she hadn't seen someone take up the order soon after she sent the website over, she probably wouldn't have suspected.
It wasn't until she asked and got a definite answer that she realized she hadn't guessed wrong.
With this discovery, she was ecstatic. Among a few people, only she knew this secret, how satisfying.
Claire Green stopped a cab with a wave, leaned back against the seat, and tapped the window with one hand, her tone indifferent, "Nothing, the family prefers Western medicine over Chinese medicine."
Upon hearing this, Nether Lord knew things wouldn't be so simple, and his imagination ran wild, feeling a pity for Claire Green.
"It's been hard on our J."
Claire Green was struck by this sentence, knowing without thinking that Nether Lord had let his imagination run wild again, as this wasn't the first time.
"Speak properly," Claire Green said coolly.
Alright, sensing the danger in her tone, Nether Lord instantly returned to normal.
"Are you really planning not to care?"
She had investigated the client's identity, the grandson of the president of the Z Country Calligraphy Association, quite influential, how could they be brainless?
Claire Green's eyes were misty with indifference as she watched the scenery flash by outside, speaking carelessly, "We'll see what they choose."
Nether Lord immediately caught the hint in her words, "You mean they might look for other Chinese doctors."
Claire Green gave a low hum, "I refused today, it's normal for them to look for someone else."
"That's right, so you're still going to handle it," Nether Lord affirmed.
J had once hacked into someone else's research institute for Z Country, and now the other party was the president of the association, she wouldn't ignore it just for that identity.
Claire Green suddenly recalled the old man from her past life, whose age seemed similar to the elder Mr. Hanks, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
"Alright then, I have a mission here, won't talk more!" He swiftly hung up.
Arriving at the booked hotel, Claire Green threw herself onto the bed as soon as she entered the room.
...
Bayne City.
Rae Zander, who had been watching closely, was waiting with a bunch of thugs at the place Claire Green passed by every time.
As time ticked by and the person they were waiting for still hadn't come, a girl began to grow impatient.
"Rae Zander, are you sure about this route?"
Rae Zander glared at her, "Absolutely no problem."
This route is from trailing over the past few days, definitely correct.
She smugly thought she had a knack for tailing people, but Claire Green had known all along and was just curious to see how she'd play it out.
"Then why have we been waiting so long without seeing her?"
"Yeah, you know our time is quite valuable." A guy chimed in.
Hearing this, Rae Zander's expression twisted a bit. It all boiled down to money.
"I'll double your pay."
With this satisfactory answer, they finally quieted down.
As a result, they waited an entire night, shivering in the autumn wind.
Rae Zander showed up with panda eyes, yawning as she arrived in class.
Olivia Song looked up and saw her haggard state, her delicate eyes filled with concern.
"What's happened to you, didn't sleep last night?"
At this mention, Rae Zander's eyes were about to shoot fire. Thinking of what she learned last night, she couldn't help but kick over a chair.
"Bang—"
The crisp sound rang out in the class, catching everyone's attention.
"What are you looking at?" Rae Zander shouted viciously.
Her shout left everyone startled for a moment, then the classroom burst into chaos.
"Are you crazy or something."
"This is a school, not your home. If you want to throw a tantrum, go back to your own house."
All at once, Rae Zander was ridiculed by everyone, and she panicked, grabbing a nearby person's sleeve in confusion.
Feeling the disturbance, Olivia Song's eyes showed a flash of impatience. She hadn't expected Rae would act like this in the classroom, and now she had to fix it.
Olivia Song's small face showed tenderness, her bright eyes looked apologetically at everyone, "Rae might not have rested well; it's likely unintentional."
She then glanced at Rae Zander.
Receiving her look, Rae Zander realized her mistake and awkwardly said, "Yes, that's it, it wasn't on purpose."
Seeing Olivia Song speak up, everyone rolled their eyes and looked away.
No one understood why she would be friends with someone like that.
"What on earth is going on with you," Olivia Song pulled her outside, her face stern, asking angrily.
"It's just Claire Green..." Rae Zander instinctively started, but realizing she'd said too much, stopped herself.
Again, Claire Green?
Olivia Song's eyes darkened, "What about her."
"I just found out today she took a week off," Rae Zander said.
So much money spent on those people, all wasted.
"Time off? Why?" Olivia Song's voice was tinged with surprise.
She actually took time off, something she never did at Virtue Wind, so even though she's changed, she's still useless at her core.
"I don't know," Rae Zander shook her head.
...
Oliver Hanks and his son anxiously watched the country's top traditional medicine expert, asking, "How is it?"
The expert sighed, "Sorry, I can't solve Mr. Hanks' problem."
"How can you not, someone said they could before," Benjamin Hanks raised his voice, speaking quickly.
The expert was first taken aback, but there are always those better; perhaps someone has better skills in traditional medicine than he does.
"Then you can turn to that person."
The moment he finished speaking.
The two of them froze. That person had been driven away by them, how could they find him?
"Mr. Hanks' condition can't wait," the expert looked at them in confusion, reminding them.
Upon hearing this, Oliver Hanks decisively spoke, "Benjamin, you must find Emma White right away."
