Chapter 428 Confirm Arnold!
Minister Gao's injury could not be delayed any longer. He was becoming paler and paler as time went by. Zhong Ning was beside him and seemed to see the life force disappearing from his body bit by wasting a moment, Heicha walked into the castle and pretended to casually chat with the maid about Dr. Arnold, and successfully found out the location of the room where he rested at night.
Even though Arnold is an important doctor whose life is related to Count Mellis's, the place where he can rest at night will not be much better than that of the maid, and the environment will even be worse than that of Eve, the head maid.
After all, fundamentally speaking, Arnold and Eve are both slaves serving bigwigs like the Count.
Since they are all slaves, their treatment is naturally similar.
Eve was treated a little better because of the intimacy she enjoyed due to her status.
Heicha rushed there without stopping, and on the way she did not forget to avoid the servants coming and going in the castle. Her stealth skills were very advanced, otherwise she would not have become the assassination queen praised by everyone in the Non-Investigation Bureau.
She was professional and didn't draw anyone's attention along the way.
Dr. Arnold had been traveling a long way, and unlike the ladies who needed to continue socializing in the banquet hall, he came to the room immediately after having dinner in the side hall. This is how the maid described it to Heicha, with a blush on her face as she said these words.
Hei Cha didn't have time to ask in detail, but she felt that the reason why Dr. Arnold was almost anxious to go to the room was not because he was tired from the long journey, but because he needed a quiet and secluded environment to sort out the current situation.
Thinking of this, Hei Cha knocked on the wooden door, "Good evening, Dr. Arnold."
After a brief silence, a response came from the room, "Who are you...what do you want to talk to me about so late at night?"
"I am Eve, the castle's head maid. I have some questions for you. Please open the door."
After a slight noise, Hei Cha felt Arnold walked behind the door and opened it with a hint of hesitation.
The two pairs of eyes met, and Hei Cha made a prompt decision, "In the battle between the butcher and Gao Yingcai, who do you think is more powerful?"
Arnold's eyes immediately flashed with understanding, "Did Minister Gao ask you to ask this?"
Hei Cha's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "This is totally different from the expected answer!"
Arnold raised his amber eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. "What did Minister Gao predict? I guess he would definitely say that I would answer the butcher without hesitation."
Hei Cha was slightly stunned, almost dumbfounded.
Arnold smiled gently, and it was at this moment that he showed some of his Dr. White look, "Why do you look like that?"
"Although Minister Gao and I don't have much overlap in our work, we have worked together for a long time. We were colleagues before the establishment of the AFI, so I do have some understanding of him."
He smiled at Hei Cha, "Well, although my answer is not the standard one, it should be able to pass the test."
The confidence and determination in his tone made Hei Cha nod involuntarily.
Doctor Bai followed Hei Cha out of the room, "The only thing I don't understand now is..."
"He has already explained the identification method so clearly and in detail, why is it you who came instead of him, he..."
Doctor Bai turned to look at Hei Cha, "What happened?"
Hei Cha's face turned slightly cold. "It's my fault. I didn't expect that he would be seriously injured just by punishing him."
Doctor Bai was stunned. "Injured? Never mind. It's better than getting into trouble."
Hei Cha briefly told Dr. Bai the whole story, and Dr. Bai looked understood.
"Minister Hei Cha, please don't blame yourself, and don't feel like you've gotten into serious trouble. Although Minister Gao was injured, he feels much better than if he got into trouble himself."
"Maybe he's thanking you in his heart for letting him take a heavy burden off his shoulders."
Hei Cha didn't understand what was said and frowned, "I asked Minister Gao to unload the burden?"
Doctor Bai patiently explained, "After all, he is the captain appointed by the director of this operation. He has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He cannot make any mistakes. However, he has encountered horror caves several times by chance from other forces many years ago. After the establishment of the Non-Investigation Bureau, he has never entered a horror cave." The two walked out while talking. Doctor Bai continued, "He is trapped by his position."
"He never told anyone else about this, but he actually cares about this matter. He is in charge of the entire exploration department, and countless explorers go to the horror cave every day. As the director, he has no practical experience..."
"He probably cares more about this mission than anyone else, and is more nervous. For him, participating in this operation is like a student who has graduated many years ago sitting in the college entrance examination again."
"As for worrying about his poor performance, no one can compare to him."
"He must be very afraid that he would be the first one to make a mistake despite his responsibilities as the captain. Although it may sound a bit teasing to say this, your actions have definitely reduced the psychological burden on Minister Gao."
Hei Cha remained silent.
Doctor Bai looked at Hei Cha gently, "I have a basic understanding of you, Minister Hei Cha. You would never make a decision that would be detrimental to your teammates without thinking."
"You are also a novice in exploring the horror cave. You must have your own considerations when making such a judgment. In an unknown area, it is reasonable to consider things beyond your control."
"Your emotions, whether it's self-blame or something else, should be digested after you find a doctor like me."
Hei Cha was silent. Although Dr. Bai said the word "digest", she knew he meant to let go.
Hei Cha boasted that she had always been a person who would not listen to anyone's advice, except that person. The amazing thing was that after Dr. Bai's persuasion, the burden in her heart was really reduced a lot.
An excellent doctor can not only cure physical ailments, but also heal the emotions in the heart.
Hei Cha stared at Dr. Bai carefully.
But what kind of emotions does Dr. Bai feel when he shoulders such responsibilities every day?
Doctor Bai joked, "Minister Black Tea, do you know that your eyes are sharper than my favorite scalpel right now?"
"You look like you're going to cut me open."
Hei Cha nodded when he heard this, "I really had this thought just now, but unfortunately, even if I did it, I couldn't see what you were thinking."
Doctor Bai smiled helplessly and said, "If you want to know what I'm thinking, why don't you just ask me? There's no need to go through so much trouble."
Hei Cha frowned, "I never thought that you were the kind of person who would tell me everything, Doctor Bai. On the contrary, you are very mysterious to me."
Doctor Bai nodded and smiled at the maid who passed by, as gentle as a piece of warm jade, making her blush.
Black tea: ...
She finally understood why the maid she had questioned before blushed when she mentioned Dr. Bai.
Doctor Bai thought carefully about what Hei Cha said, "In fact, I have never been a mysterious person. The reason you felt that way before could only be because..."
“We’re still relatively new to it.”
Hei Cha noticed a detail in the words, "Before?"
Doctor Bai smiled gently, his amber eyes clearly had nothing to do with purity, but Hei Cha seemed to be able to see through Arnold's skin and see the Bai Lian with white eyelashes and light white pupils inside.
White pity... I feel pity for no reason...
There really are people in the world who look like what the word "pure white" represents.
Hei Cha heard Doctor Bai say softly, "It's because from the beginning, the relationship between us can never be described as unfamiliar."
"I'm not here to help just anyone."
