Kill Me, Heal Me

Chapter 137 What's Wrong with the Underground City?

Crazy!

This man must be crazy!

Belle felt funny and ridiculous. She closed her eyes and there was no sign of being moved by him. Ethan was looking forward to seeing even a trace of shaking or moving from her expression.

Unfortunately, there was not.

She didn’t be touched! In addition to indifference and disregard, there was coldness.

The door of the ward was closed quietly. He left unpleasantly with the light footsteps. The ward became silent again.

Belle lay down again. Her hands pressed against her empty heart. Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes and seeped into her mouth.

Bitterness. It was some sad taste.

The sunny weather became cloudy. Looking out of the window, she could not help but think of what he had just said. The world was so changeable. She had been waiting for so many years, thinking that he could say that to herself. Unexpectedly, after many years, she could still hear from him.

Was it a dream?

She would rather this was a dream which was a nightmare and haunted her for many years.

Taking a deep breath, Belle pressed her lips, reached into the quilt with one hand, and stroked the slightly sunken part. She thought sadly: this dream has come too late.

She remembered a sentence she had read in one book before.

Echo came into the ward with the black chicken soup. Belle was being helped out of bed by the nurse. She was also surprised to see her, "Sister Xu, you come to see me?"

"I'm just passing by so I come to see you." Echo said, helping the nurse send her to the bathroom. Belle was a little embarrassed. Although she was weak, she can still go to the bathroom by herself. But the doctors and nurses who took care of her here have obviously got some orders. Whenever she needed help, she always got help.

After doing her business, Belle went back to the ward. She saw the bodyguards guarding her outside. They were strangers and Belle did not see Xu Xing and Barry.

"I've made some soup. Would you like it?" Echo gave Belle a small bowl of chicken soup. She said with a smile, "black chicken soup and wild ginseng. I've been cooking all morning. It's good for your health."

"Thank you." Belle took the porcelain bowl that she handed over. The chicken soup had a strong aroma. The chicken skin was peeled. There was no oil in the soup. The hot steam came to her face and she can’t see clearly. Belle took a sip and looked up at Echo. "The soup is delicious."

"If you like it, I'll cook it every day for you." Echo's eyes flickered and she seemed to be very happy. She urged Belle to drink more when it was hot.

However, from her words, Belle felt something wrong.

"Every day? Sister Xu, are you not busy recently?” Although the underground city opened at night, people who worked in it must have a good rest during the day because they would stay up late at night.

When she was there before, she roughly knew the work and rest time of the club staff. As the chief manager of the underground city, Echo had a lot of things to deal with.

Echo's expression was a little unnatural, but she didn't answer. Instead, she changed to the topic: "how are you feeling recently? I just heard from the nurse outside that you are better now. As long as you take good care of yourself, you can recover in the future."

"Yes."

Belle answered lightly and drank the soup.

Soon, she drank a bowl of soup. Echo was happy to see that. She thought that she finished the boss's task. This soup made by boss himself. It was just that if she told Belle now, Belle would definitely spit up the soup at once.

"Sister Xu, you don't have to send the soup to me. You are so busy. And I can't eat too greasy food now. I can only eat this kind of food occasionally." With a smile, Belle took the tissue that Echo handed to her and wiped her mouth.

Without thinking about it, Echo said, "It is not a big deal. Anyway, I'm free recently." she suddenly stopped and was eager to slap her mouth. Why didn't she know how to zip her mouth?

Belle looked at her and laughed, "Sister Xu, what's wrong with the underground city?"

"Nothing. I mean, I have nothing to do during the day. You know what our work..." She said some embarrassingly. The embarrassed expression just covered up her guilty. After all, Echo was a sophisticated woman. She still had the ability to tell lies.

That expression was so sincere and true.

Instead of looking at her, Belle looked up at the white ceiling, then lowered her head and apologized: "Sister Xu, it's me who has implicated you."

Echo shuddered, "Belle, what are you talking about? Why did you say... "

"Something happened to the underground city." It was not a question, but an affirmation. Belle turned to look at her and said, "someone made trouble in the club, or someone called the police? And then the club is closed temporarily?"

Echo opened her suddenly,"do you know all about it?"

"it is a guess. Otherwise, how can you not be busy?"

Belle said in a light tone: "the underground city is an important investment of your boss, but its reputation is not very good. Few people outside know that it is his property. Those who know are friends, and probably won't make any trouble. I have found that the business model of the club is very standard. Both sides are willing. No one dares to make trouble in it. I'm curious. What exactly caused the club to close down? "

When Echo heard that she was able to analyze the business model of the club calmly, her expression was not at ease. The female model ladies in the club received guests. It was not illegal in Gang City, but they were still prostitutes. How could Belle say that so indifferently?

She cleared her throat. She thought that what Belle said mostly was right. It was useless to hide it. "A few days ago, a group of young men gathered in the private room to take drugs. When I received the news, the police had already arrived. After taking the people away, they said that there were drug addicts in the club and the club should be closed temporarily. Only after the investigation can the club be opened normally."

Belle opened her mouth: "that's it? Your boss has agreed to close? " She didn't believe that Ethan would be defeated so easily. It was not like his style.

"This is Mr. Mo’s order. In fact, in recent years, we have done a good job in maintaining the connections among all kinds of people. In addition, the business in the club is indeed legal, and such a thing has never happened. After that case, the cops found drugs in the staff dormitory which made things bigger. General manager Mo has been very busy recently, so he can only do this for the time being... "

"Sister Xu, do you know who did it?"

"I didn't know at the beginning, but it was known by many people later." Echo gave a bitter smile to her: "Belle, in fact, I should call you Miss Ye. In the past, it was our fault that made you suffer so much in the club.”
