Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 969: Shadow Door

She was trying to persuade him to work for her?

As Xie Yan suddenly thought of this possibility, he suddenly felt that his headache was gone, and his thoughts were getting clearer!

He was no longer Mr. Heir’s strategist… And Lady Chaoyan was very satisfied by his abilities and actions, so she was trying to keep him, thus getting him to have conversations like this.

Soon… Lady Chaoyan would put forward the idea of hiring him.

Xie Yan was confident enough that he was would be very useful for her, since he knew a lot about the Heir.

If he could work for her, then he was basically killing two birds with one stone…

Xie Yan could not help but shake his head.

That was what Lady Chaoyan was thinking, but… He had no intention of getting involved with those conflicts any more. He would have said yes earlier, but not at this moment.

He was not going to work as a strategist any more, especially one in the official field.

He had the plan to travel about and maybe one day, he could become a strategist for some major businessman. That would be enough for him.

…

As Xie Yan thought about his own plan…

He also started to map out how he was going to turn down Lady Chaoyan’s potential offer.

That was what Xie Yan had been thinking, inwardly, but Gu Chaoyan, who was drinking the tea out in the yard, had not expected that her random chitchat with Xie Yan would have caused so many extra thoughts inside his head. And those thoughts were pestering the man.

She was about to ask Sword One to fetch her a book to read, when Zhou Huaijin came in a hurry.

He went away all of a sudden and returned at a fast speed too.

“You remember the person who got injured in the mountains, the one you cured at Xinlin Clinic? We found no traces on the mountains where he was attacked, so I asked some people from Shadow Door to stay there for a bit longer to see if anything strange popped up. And the answer is finally out.” Zhou Huaijin looked very surprised and happy – it had been a long while since Shadow Door reacted, and he had almost given up, but the news came today, finally!

He had been to the site and he believed that it was going to be a completely new discovery.

Gu Chaoyan was surprised too. They had found the man who had injured Shen Tai!

“Where is he?” Gu Chaoyan asked.

“They are very dangerous, so I asked Mo Bing to trap them in Shadow Door, instead of transporting them somewhere else. Also, we have to keep them away from my father.” Zhou Huaijin explained. “I will take you to the Shadow Door.”

He glanced about and did not think that they needed to do anything more. “Sword One, come with us.”

Sword One nodded seriously.

Then Zhou Huaijin left with the two girls.

It was just a branch of Shadow Door, and the real Shadow Door was hidden somewhere very far away. It had always been the branch that was in charge of daily errands.

The branch was located in a relatively quiet place in the city center, rather than a particularly hidden corner.

As they came to the neighboring place…

They got out of the wagon and then Zhou Huaijin led the way.

Mo Bing and Feng Yue were guarding the door. They were also the hidden guards who followed Zhou Huaijin to the Feather Mulberry Land.

However, Feng Yue looked very surprised, at the sight of Gu Chaoyan.
