I, Doctor in the US-Chapter 382 - 381: With Alice

"In terms of academics..."

"You don’t think I’m bad at it, do you?"

"Of course not, it’s just..."

"Don’t worry, goodness, why are you suddenly so concerned about me?"

"Hmm..."

"Feeling guilty? You’ve ignored me for so long and now you feel ashamed, right? Hehehe..."

"Haha... maybe."

Zhou Mo Sen’s last sentence was slightly awkward, but he said it on purpose.

Ashamed?

He wasn’t really ashamed, but they indeed hadn’t been in touch for a long time.

Yet, this couldn’t be blamed on Zhou Mo Sen.

Alice’s treatment at that time was very successful, and it was Zhou Mo Sen who had given the treatment plan.

But after the treatment ended, she was discharged quickly.

Since then, their contact had been infrequent.

Of course, it had been mentioned before that Alice went to study medicine.

Zhou Mo Sen got some information about her through certain channels; after all, studying medicine here in California must mean UCLA’s School of Medicine.

It’s actually part of the same system as the UCLA Medical Center.

Previously, Howard also left a lot of money for Alice, and actually, Zhou Mo Sen was quite decent, he didn’t try to embezzle her shares or anything like that.

So, everything was just fine.

Alice wasn’t worried about money; even though studying medicine is expensive, her situation meant she didn’t even need to take out a loan.

This already counts as enormous wealth in the United States.

But Zhou Mo Sen still felt that Alice seemed to be intentionally distancing herself from him.

To be honest, in Zhou Mo Sen’s mind, he never harbored the idea of saving her life for her to repay him with her own.

Really, absolutely not.

Zhou Mo Sen is a doctor; he saves many people, if every case was like that... Wouldn’t he be exhausted by now?

What Zhou Mo Sen actually thought was... everyone could just stay in touch.

There had been a deep connection between them before.

Although it wasn’t considered much in the United States.

But Alice rarely contacted him.

Zhou Mo Sen didn’t feel comfortable being too proactive, after all, the relationship between them wasn’t just a simple connection.

There were also some seemingly complicated, actually complex stories between them.

Truth be told, Zhou Mo Sen had no responsibility regarding Howard’s death, and he even provided a very effective plan that saved Alice.

Yet there were still many things that couldn’t be explained clearly.

And then there was Evelyn.

In short, Zhou Mo Sen and Alice... eventually, even Zhou Mo Sen stopped calling Alice.

Even though the actual distance between them wasn’t far.

It was really a coincidence today, they met, and exchanged greetings.

Could it be... the relationship had returned to normal?

But Zhou Mo Sen still spoke some words.

Ashamed?

In fact, he didn’t feel it, but he was curious how Alice would respond.

As expected.

"Zhou, you have no reason to feel ashamed, actually... it’s my problem."

At least, Alice was reasonable; her response was indeed not bad.

Zhou Mo Sen nodded and was just about to ask some other questions.

Unexpectedly, Alice continued, "But we still have issues between us."

This... Zhou Mo Sen felt a bit helpless, he spread his hands.

Alice laughed, "The issue, isn’t really your issue."

Zhou Mo Sen was even more helpless, saying, "Might as well say it directly."

Alice seemed to have figured something out, and then said, "I found out about some things, about Evelyn."

Evelyn... just hearing the name of this troublemaker, Zhou Mo Sen was also very curious.

Because ever since Howard’s death, Evelyn seemed to have disappeared.

"What did you find out?"

"Not much, nothing that concerns you."

Alice’s answer would definitely piss off an ordinary person.

But Zhou Mo Sen was different, he was wise enough.

"Are you intending to take revenge on her?"

This question hit Alice right in the heart.

Yet the pale-skinned girl simply smiled, "No such plan."

Zhou Mo Sen looked helpless, because he could tell that Alice didn’t intend to say more.

From their chance meeting to chatting now, they just walked and talked, didn’t even stop for a coffee.

Under such circumstances, and with Alice already making it clear.

What more could Zhou Mo Sen do?

"Can you give me some intelligence about her?"

Alice shook her head, "Honestly, I haven’t found much, well, I don’t have much right now, can’t give it to you."

"Is it uncertain? Or you just don’t want me to know?"

"Both, I guess."

"Alice, you now seem to be in danger."

"Seems like it, but... thank you, Zhou."

"Alright."

Zhou Mo Sen’s phrase ’very dangerous’ was actually very important.

A glint appeared in Alice’s eyes, clearly, she had sensed something.

But in the end, she just thanked him, indicating she didn’t need Zhou Mo Sen’s help.

This left Zhou Mo Sen with no choice at the moment.

She had already declined his goodwill, so what else could he do?

The relationship between them, even if Zhou Mo Sen wanted to be that persistent guy who insists on helping... alright, that is to say, a doormat.

It wouldn’t work either.

Moreover, Zhou Mo Sen has never been a doormat.

Rather, many people fawn over him, and they are all beauties at that.

Thus, it had to end here.

So, they parted ways with smiles.

"Don’t worry about it."

Alice’s final words provided Zhou Mo Sen some solace.

But can he really not worry?

Truthfully, at this moment, Zhou Mo Sen isn’t concerned about Alice; he’s more curious.

And his curiosity is of a particularly strange kind.

He’s more curious about Evelyn.

Of course, not because this bitch is provocative.

He genuinely just wants to find out from a curious angle, what happened to Evelyn.

Perhaps Alice knows, but this girl wasn’t saying.

Zhou Mo Sen didn’t plan to force her, so be it.

After walking for a while, they parted ways.

On the streets of San Francisco, it felt as if this event had never happened.

And Zhou Mo Sen soon arrived at his actual destination for this trip.

The Li Family.

...

"Hello, Dr. Zhou."

"Hello, hello."

Li Mengxian, the head of the Li Family, and at this moment, also an important member of the Niu Sen team in the San Francisco city administration.

At least in San Francisco City, Li Mengxian is no ordinary figure.

He is an official with real power.

The key is, in the Chinese community, he has considerable prestige.

Right now, Zhou Mo Sen sought him out, naturally planning to discuss some matters of interest.

"Mr. Li has done so much for the Chinese community in California over the years; truly commendable."

"Dr. Zhou flatters me, it’s what I should do."

Their conversation was very Chinese; Li Mengxian actually is from Taishan, and his wife is also Chinese.

In short, the Li family is a relatively pure Chinese family.

But their identities are not ordinary, so their discussions naturally weren’t ordinary either.

"Dr. Zhou, you are well-known in the medical field, the diabetes plan you developed was astonishing, and in bio-medicine..."

Li Mengxian spoke eloquently, clearly knowing Zhou Mo Sen well.

And the implication... was simple.

"Mr. Li, I am very interested in investing in San Francisco, especially in the field of bio-medical, I also plan to develop some new products, which will benefit many people."

Good, that’s the sentence!

Li Mengxian was very pleased.

Next, of course, the conversation turned to business, or rather, investments.

But, did Zhou Mo Sen just come to spend money?

Well, it is indeed an investment, that’s the proper work he should be doing.

But the key is that matter.

Once the discussion almost concluded, Zhou Mo Sen frowned and said,

"But earlier, I heard some disturbing news, that it seems a mafia group wants to harm me!"

Finally, laid bare with all cards on the table.
