NOVEL NEXT Chapter 604: Marx Was Right
"Understood."
Bai San nodded and took out another incense stick, placing it into the censer.
"If the Great Immortal requires a blood sacrifice, I will report to the family head afterward and provide what is needed. However, if the Great Immortal insists on being disrespectful to our esteemed guests, I will also report this truthfully to the family head."
He said solemnly.
If it could truly be consumed, it would be fine, but Bai San had just seen Doctor Nile in action, and he didn't think the White Jade Hedgehog could detain him.
If their opponent escaped, they would not only offend Yuan Baoer but also invite a formidable enemy to the Bai Family. The family head peeling his skin off and laying it out to dry for medicine would be the least of his worries.
The White Jade Hedgehog stared at Bai San expressionlessly for a few seconds, then lowered its head and ate the newly lit incense as well.
Then it shifted its body, revealing the hole beneath it.
"Mr. Liu, as long as you pass through the Hedgehog Path, you can directly reach the Ten Thousand Great Mountains."
Bai San breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at the hole.
"Can the car fit through it?"
Liu Zheng looked at the hole, which was just over a meter in diameter, and asked.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu. The Hedgehog Path can expand, easily allowing two cars to pass through at the same time."
Bai San said confidently.
"That's good."
He nodded.
After waiting a while, those two young men also drove the armored car over.
"No problems."
Lao Si checked the car and said to Liu Zheng.
"Heh, driving a government-owned car feels awesome. Once I grip that steering wheel, it feels like the entire Metropolis is mine."
The clever nephew said exuberantly.
"What are you boasting about? After you've had your fun, get back to your post and stand guard until this time tomorrow."
Bai San glared at him and said.
"Ah? I didn't even damage the car, why?"
The nephew protested.
"Speaking wrongly can have more severe consequences than doing something wrong. Are you going, or do I need to inform your grandfather?"
Bai San threatened.
He was somewhat reluctant to punish these two young men himself, but their own grandfather had no such reservations.
"No, no, we're going now."
The two young men slouched and walked toward the village entrance.
"Brother Bai San manages the family well."
Liu Zheng praised.
"Sigh. Our Bai Family isn't skilled in aggression but is good at finding treasures, which often makes us the target of others' greed. Without being extra cautious, we would have long become someone else's vassal."
Bai San sighed.
"Don't you have someone in the hospital who is a deputy chief physician? Shouldn't they be able to protect the Bai Family?"
He asked, puzzled.
From his current knowledge of the hospital, its terrifying nature was no less than that of the Bloody Restaurant, and perhaps even more so.
"Did Sister Bao tell you this?"
Bai San asked in surprise.
Could it be that these two have already gotten together?
"No, it was someone from the Hui Family who told me."
Liu Zheng partially threw Hui San under the bus.
"That's just how the Hui Family is, they never know when to keep their mouths shut."
Bai San said irritably.
The Bai Family and the Hui Family were quite similar—one was good at finding natural resources, the other was good at seeking and appraising treasures. Both were timid in battle and skilled at burrowing.
However, the Bai Family had an more honest disposition, while the Hui Family was more cunning. The Bai Family often suffered losses because of the Hui Family, but they also frequently collaborated in critical moments.
Hence, the relationship between the two families had always been both good and bad.
"Haha, it's not a shameful matter. Having someone in the family earn the title of deputy chief physician is a great honor."
Liu Zheng comforted.
"It is an honor. But, sigh."
Bai San sighed again.
"Why does Brother Bai San keep sighing?"
"To be honest, the one who was named deputy chief physician is my biological son, Bai Tianshi."
Bai San hesitated for a moment before saying.
"Is that so? Indeed, like father, like son. But that's good news, why is Brother Bai San sighing?"
He asked cooperatively.
"Once you enter that hospital, it's as deep as the sea; from then on, the mortal world seems far away. Before becoming an attending physician, doctors at the hospital cannot leave. Afterward, they can take a two-day leave once a month. Deputy chief physicians can take a one-day leave each week."
"Tianshi used to come home at least twice a month. But since last month, he hasn't returned home, nor has he called the family."
Bai San replied.
"Could it be that there's too much socializing?"
"We thought so too, but no matter how many times we call him, he doesn't answer. When we call the hospital, they just tell us Doctor Ye is working and will contact us once he's done."
Bai San shook his head.
"Alright, then it seems something indeed has happened."
Liu Zheng couldn't keep up the pretense.
"Sigh."
Bai San sighed again.
"Haven't you tried asking someone? Since you were able to get him in, you must have channels to gather information."
"We asked, but no news yet. Let's not talk about it. Mr. Liu, let's handle your affairs first."
Bai San shook his head.
"Alright."
Since he was unwilling to speak, Liu Zheng wouldn't push the matter.
There are those who seek favors, but no one seeks others to ask for a favor for themselves.
Everyone got into the car. The White Jade Hedgehog glanced at the armored car and used its claws to widen the hole enough for the armored car to pass through comfortably.
"Drive."
Liu Zheng commanded.
"Alrighty."
Lao Si stepped on the gas, and the armored car drove into the Hedgehog Path.
A slight feeling of weightlessness, and the armored car landed smoothly.
The Hedgehog Path was pitch black, and the air was thick with the earthy smell.
"The Hedgehog Path is a one-way road, just keep driving forward. But don't go too fast to avoid unexpected situations."
Bai San advised.
"Then let's go at 120."
Liu Zheng instructed.
With Lao Si's skills, he should easily handle a speed of 120 km/h.
"Okay, Mr. Liu."
Lao Si started the vehicle and maintained a steady speed around 120 km/h.
