chapter 284: do you believe me?

“tell me.” xia meng nodded, “i have my way to tell whether it’s true or not.”

“he is a psychiatrist and has a counselling centre. he said it’s a volunteer job, but he does accept payment,” fatty continued, “his main clientele are not normal patients but rich ladies who would get lonely at night. doctor jiang would recommend them friends, the kind of friends who could warm their lonely hearts.

“this part is paid,” fatty said, “however, the business has not been great lately, so he had to take on some extra jobs himself.” then, his tone became serious, “the doctor doesn’t accept any kind of order. he is the top in his field. you have to book him many days in advance. the clients have to send transportation to fetch him. he doesn’t work the individual counters. he will need private booths.” fatty paused before concluding, “that is his bottom line. alright, that’s all i know.” fatty swallowed as he stared at xia meng. he whispered, “do you believe me?”

“of course i don’t!” xia meng was so angry that her cheeks turned red. she jumped and smacked him on his head. then, she yanked his ears and huffed, “are you tired of living?” xia meng knew fatty wouldn’t tell him the truth. however, she assumed that fatty would only create some fake news to deal with her. he’d mix the fake information with some real titbits. her plan was to derive useful information from his lies. after all, this fatty was more gullible than jiang cheng.

however, fatty used such an obvious lie to try to trick her. it angered her. this was more than just trickery. this was a mockery. did he think she was dumb?

the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. if not for the fear of creating a huge commotion, xia meng would beat fatty up.

fatty pouted. one thought became stabilised in his mind, “xia meng would never win over the doctor, not in this lifetime.”

“who is that?!” xia meng whipped her head around. fatty turned as well. a small head appeared on the wall before disappearing. xia meng let go of fatty and made chase. “it’s the beggar from last night.”

fatty recognised the kid from a glimpse. then, he ran after xia meng. xia meng was too fast. fatty was lagging behind. therefore, after he confirmed the general direction, he chose to use another path to cut the kid off. the path he chose was the one they used earlier. it was safer. without the doctor by his side, he needed to be more careful. plus, the lake was on the other side. the kid couldn’t run on water, so this path would most likely cut him off.

“where is him?” xia meng asked through gasps of breaths.

“he ran away.” fatty pretended to catch his breath, “he’s too familiar with the layout. i couldn’t catch him.”

“he probably stakes out this place often.” xia meng stared at the wall. she chased after the kid along the wall. she was unfamiliar with the place, so she was forced to take several detours. in the end, the kid managed to escape.

“let’s go back for now,” fatty suggested.

it had been some time since they left. the location of the sun had moved.

xia meng looked around. she was slightly unsettled, “yes. we’ll get him next time.”

“okay.”

after the two left, a hidden wooden door at the corner opened. then, a small head poked out.

after a few blinks, he lowered his head. inside the bowl that he gripped tightly were two buns.
