Chapter 643: Miss Alice

At todays banquet, Elder Shen was certain that a large number of people had come to inquire about the whereabouts of the miracle doctor.

Elder Shen!

An elder stood up. Sitting beside him was a girl who looked like a doll. Her skin was so pale that it was almost transparent. She sat quietly on the chair, weak and sick. A pair of dark green eyes told him that her bloodline was not pure Chinese. Her long chestnut-brown curly hair draped over her shoulders. She was beautiful, but she looked like a doll that had lost its soul.

She seemed a little empty.

Alice, can you go out for a while? Dirk is waiting for you outside. Stay with him.

The girls eyes almost occupied half of her face. When she stared at them, it was a little scary.

She nodded slowly, stood up, picked up the ornate hem of her dress, and bowed slightly to everyone present. Then, she walked out quietly with light steps.

She was so obedient that it made ones heart ache.

The old man exhaled. He smiled bitterly and said, I was also entrusted by a friend to come here this time. Alice is the youngest daughter that Count Lancaster dotes on the most. She was determined to be his inheritor from birth. And her mother is also the princess of the royal family. It can be said that if anything happens to her, it will affect the fate of countless people in both families. I also know that it is a little abrupt to come here rashly this time, but Count Lancaster also has no choice. All the famous doctors in the Western countries are helpless against Miss Alices illness, so they have no choice but to turn their gazes to China.

Old Hou, Im also in a difficult position with you acting like this.

Elder Shen shook his head, still unwilling to speak.

Elder Hou was not a businessman, but he had a huge network of connections, and his power was even more astonis.h.i.+ng. Now that he had come forward, it was probably partly because he wanted to give that Count Lancaster some face, and partly because there were benefits.

These schemers were all dirty

As the saying went, one did not get up early without benefits. Elder Shen did not believe that he was really not seeking anything.

Elder Hou was also helpless. How about this, you just need to tell me the whereabouts of the miracle doctor, and I will bring people to invite him. How about it?

Oh? Bring people to invite him?

Elder Shen was amused, and his smile was a little cold.

Elder Hou, are you planning to apply pressure with your power?

How would I dare? Elder Hou also laughed as darkness swept through the study. Ive already said that its a request. When the time comes, no matter what request the miracle doctor makes, we will naturally try our best to fulfill it.

Then what if the doctor requests not to receive patients? Elder Shen asked back.

The study became quiet, and the air seemed to condense into a solid form, pressing heavily on the top of everyones heads.

Elder Hou narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath, Old Shen, dont you want to hear what Count Lancaster is offering? As you know, Im not the kind of person who will harm others. Im doing this for the sake of China. If we can cure Alice, then Country Ys royal family will owe us a huge favor and that huge investment

Elder Shen held his teacup and sipped slowly.

So this was all because of an investment. Indeed, if he could pull in such a huge investment, it would be a great contribution.

Unfortunately, in his position, there were too few things that could tempt him.

The others followed suit, but they were repelled by Elder Shens glance.

Elder Hou smiled bitterly. Are you really not willing?

Sigh

Elder Shen sighed and put down his teacup.

How should I put it? Its not that Im not willing, its that I cant. Furthermore, even if I tell you who it is, do you really think your invite will be accepted? Forgive me for being blunt, but that person is also protected by someone. Otherwise, do you think that after all this time and all the investigations from influential people, there would really be no news?
