After settling Lane Corporationâs matters, Evan drove to Nicoleâs clinic.
Business at the clinic was still as miserable as ever. The two acupuncturists who Nicole had hired had spent most of their time chatting during the daytime.
When they saw Evan, they thought that he was one of their potential patients. With a half-hearted tone, they soon uttered, âAre you feeling unwell? Where should I take a look at?â
Evan glanced at the two lazy-looking acupuncturists and asked, âIs there no one at the clinic most of the time?â
Irritated, they responded, âCanât you see it for yourself? Why are you still asking us about it?â
âThatâs right. Do you want an acupuncture session or not? If not, buzz off.â
Evan was momentarily speechless.
Has Nicole really hired two acupuncturists? It seems as though sheâs hired two troublemakers instead!
Itâs impossible for the clinic to have any business with these two around!
Hearing his silence, one of them urged, âHey, Iâm talking to you! Are you ignoring us? You donât look as though youâre short of money. Iâm sure that youâre a wealthy man. You must want to have a healthy body. Shall we introduce a better place to you? Iâll guarantee you that itâs a hundred times better than the service that youâll receive here.â
Evan was shocked by their words.
The two troublemakers that Nicole has hired are even stealing clients from her clinic!
âA hundred times better than here? Where is it?â
âWalk ahead for five hundred meters. Then, make a turn at the corner! Continue for another two hundred meters, and youâll see a very obvious sign. Thatâs the place that youâll be looking for.â
Upon hearing their words, Evan felt that there was a need for him to check it out. He had to uncover the identity of the person who was âtaking careâ of Nicole.
âYouâre working as acupuncturists here, yet youâre introducing another clinic to your patients! They must have given you quite the benefits, am I right?â
Upon hearing Evanâs question, the two immediately sought to reveal their impatient expressions.
âMake your way there if you want to! Shut up if you donât! No oneâs forcing you to take any action! Stop with the interrogation, will you?â
âThatâs right!â
Evan turned away, ignoring them. It was a waste of his time if he continued his conversation with them.
Walking out of the clinic, he made haste to call Davin.
âEvan, do you really need my help in investigating such a matter? Just throw them a bank card, and theyâll talk instantly.â
âIâll never give my money to people like them. Ask around and get me some clear answers. Find out whoâs behind that clinic and inform me when youâve discovered whoâs behind all of this.â
âNo worries, Evan. Leave this to me.â
After ending the call, Evan drove back to Imperial Garden.
Meanwhile, Davin headed toward Nicoleâs clinic in his sports car.
A rich man has just left only for another arrive. Whatâs going on in this clinic today?
The two acupuncturists sized Davin up before asking, âWhere are you hurting?â
Since Davin was here to make them talk, he thought that he ought to spend some time here, toying around with them.
âYour place isnât that great. You barely have anyone around! Why donât you give me a free acupuncture session? Iâll be sure to promote the clinic for you!â
At his words, the two shared a glance and some quiet words.
âWe can give you a free acupuncture session, but donât promote this clinic! You can assist us in promoting another clinic.â
âAnother clinic? Does that clinic have the same owner as this one?â
âOf course not. The service at the other clinic is a hundred times better than here! You wonât regret introducing your friends there!â
Davin fell silent as he mulled over their words. âShall we do this instead? The two of you shall resume your work at the clinic that youâve promoted, introducing their clients to this clinic instead. What kind of benefits are they giving you there? Iâll give you just as much! Does that sound good to you?â
Hearing his words, the two acupuncturists shared a nervous look.
âY-You have relations with the owner of this clinic?â
âWhat do you think?â
The two looked at each other again before one of them tentatively replied, âI assume not.â
âThatâs right. The owner of this clinic is an unfortunate idiot. A rich man has ditched her. I donât think that she wouldâve been acquainted with someone like you.â
