"Do you think Haymitch Zhao and his guys will accept you without me?" Chief Zheng jumped up from the sofa and shouted at his son, "Don't you dare mention this again in the future."
Edgar had never seen his father being so angry at him before, so he was pretty intimidated. He did not make a sound and only sat there quietly.
Hearing the loud voices in the living room, Edgar's mother came in and tried to reason with the both of them.
The both of them broke up their verbal argument and left the living room. One went into the study, the other went into the bedroom.
Edgar, who was lying on the bed, felt very upset. He didn't understand why his father thought of Fade so highly.
He couldn't understand why his father was still defending Fade although Fade had made such a mess of things.
At the same time, he secretly decided that even if his father did not approve of his idea, he would still proceed with it quietly. Offending Fade in return for pleasing Haymitch Zhao and the gang was a good deal anyways.
Having made up his mind, he took out his mobile phone and began to think about how to kick start his plan.
All of a sudden, his bedroom door was pushed open, and his father, Chief Zheng entered.
Edgar was startled. His gaze flickered with guilt when he looked at his father, and he quickly put down his mobile phone as though nothing had happened.
Chief Zheng immediately saw through his son's antics and guessed what he was up to. He hurriedly warned Edgar, "I have to warn you, don't you dare do anything stupid. Otherwise, you will only get yourself into trouble."
Upon hearing his father's words, Edgar pouted unhappily, "The biggest trouble for me now is offending Young Master Haymitch."
Chief Zheng's anger rose. He held himself back and once again tried to advise his son, "Why do you think I asked you not to go against Fade Chen? It is for your own good!"
"For my own good? What can I gain? Befriending a small commoner doctor in exchange for the friendship I have with Young Master Haymitch and the guys?" Edgar retorted disdainfully.
Chief Zheng growled in a deep tone, "Do you think that Dr. Chen is really just a simple doctor?"
Upon hearing this, Edgar couldn't help but frown, "Do you mean he's not? What do you mean? Does he have any other identity?"
Chief Zheng nodded, "Yes."
Edgar was shocked to hear what his father was saying. He quickly asked, "What other identity?"
Chief Zheng shook his head and replied, "I don't know either. However, I'm sure that he must have other powerful identities. I asked the people from the hospital and found out that Fade isn't a doctor from the City Medical Center. In fact, he isn't even a professional doctor."
"Not a doctor? Then what could he be?" Edgar asked doubtfully.
Chief Zheng continued, "I'm not sure myself. But Dr. Daphne Tao and Dr. Chen are very close. She hinted to me that Dr. Chen's identity is shrouded in mystery, but he's pretty influential. Even some big gang leaders have to give in when they see him."
"Big gang leaders giving in to him?" Edgar frowned and said in disbelief, "Is that even possible?"
