I, Doctor in the US
Chapter 47: Gunshots in the Wilderness
CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47: GUNSHOTS IN THE WILDERNESS
Nightfall descends.
San Diego transforms into another semblance.
Many neighborhoods begin to bustle with activity.
Quite a few people take to the streets, gathering in small groups.
Chatting, or singing and dancing.
It seems alright, but in reality, many dealings are happening.
Hank, with his team members, is lurking in an old neighborhood.
The United States has a very unique phenomenon.
That is, the city centers in many cities are rather chaotic.
There are many reasons for this, such as white-flight.
That is, whites fleeing the city center.
With whites gone, who would live there?
The answer is obvious.
Moreover, in these old neighborhoods, rents are usually particularly cheap.
Cheap rent seems like a good thing, no doubt.
But if it’s too cheap, it leads to a problem.
No property management.
If the rent is too low, there’s no money to be made.
Naturally, no property management company wants to provide services.
No property management also means no security.
The security environment in such neighborhoods is evident.
Thus, many gangs arise.
In places without security, the police are also unwilling to intervene.
It’s worth knowing that the police in the United States sign a law enforcement contract with the city government.
It’s essentially an employment relationship.
Police, in flattering terms, are called enforcers.
In less flattering terms, they’re just big security guards.
Hank is DEA, indeed different from regular police.
But in such neighborhoods, unless there is solid evidence or a major case.
Otherwise, he too is unwilling to come.
Luckily, this stretch of neighborhood is relatively ’clean’.
The target they’re watching now is also a relatively ’clean’ white man.
A white man living in such a neighborhood, doesn’t need to discuss his social class.
Owen Johnson, 36 years old this year, besides having no money, no wife, no children, no parents.
Can also consider life fulfilling.
Owen is a high school teacher, coach of the school’s basketball team.
High school teachers in the United States generally have low income, they’re quite pitiful.
There was a high school teacher, teaching chemistry.
Ordinarily, he still had to work part-time at a car wash to support his family.
Unfortunately, life was unfair, he contracted cancer.
With a heavy heart, shaved his head.
Changed his name to Heisenberg.
This Owen has an advantage over Heisenberg.
Single man, full family doesn’t starve.
Ordinarily, he’s quite honest.
Hank found out that his neighbors have a good evaluation of him.
Why monitor such an honest person?
Previously, it was Owen who reported a case, he brought legendary rare goods!
The Bella Clan’s goods have now been spoken of in myth-like terms.
Many gangs are searching for it, DEA needs to take action.
Owen is a very good lead, the goods he brought aren’t much.
Moreover, as he claimed, the goods in his possession were leftovers after gang rivalry.
He picked them up and then went to DEA.
Hank is certain Owen spoke falsehoods.
Yet, better to let him return.
It’s the wisdom of the East, letting out a long line to catch a big fish.
After investigating Owen, Hank even feels there’s nothing suspicious about this guy.
Such a simple character, aside from where he lives leading to gang contact.
Everything else is particularly clean.
Then let’s see who exactly will come to contact him.
Hank and team lurk opposite Owen’s rented apartment.
From the window, they can see the situation inside Owen’s home.
And also see the street situation.
"Boss!"
Suddenly, a subordinate alerts Hank.
A new car has appeared on the street, they hadn’t seen this car before.
Quickly, all DEA members focus on this car.
Soon, someone gets out from inside.
He’s wearing a denim jacket, dressed like an ordinary person.
But Hank quickly identifies him.
Doyle?!
...
San Diego, inside an upscale apartment building on Aegmon Street.
zO-7...
Afterwards.
Kate wipes her red lips.
Zhou Mo Sen sits on the couch, adjusting his breathing.
A reunion after a brief separation.
Feels pretty good.
The charming smile of Dr. Kate already says it all.
Yet still, they’re only ordinary friends.
Kate squeezes next to Zhou Mo Sen.
"Why did you relocate?"
"It’s more convenient to live here."
Zhou Mo Sen indeed relocated, the services offered by upscale apartments are much better.
And the reason is actually for safety.
But no need to explain to Kate.
The lady doctor does not pursue further, she has more topics she wants to discuss.
"Aren’t you going to ask me why I suddenly came back?"
"I think you’ll tell me."
Zhou Mo Sen’s words leave the lady doctor slightly helpless.
"You, really are a bit boring."
"Fine, I’ll now formally ask you, why come back to find me?"
"Guess."
"Hmm..." Zhou Mo Sen pretends to think for a while, then says, "I suppose it’s not because of my..."
He also continues downward.
Kate laughs, "You guy, what are you thinking!"
Yet Zhou Mo Sen finishes his sentence, "I’m talking about my medical skills."
Dr. Kate was the one misinterpreting!
```
Kate burst into laughter.
Zhou Mo Sen’s joke was a bit dirty, but it worked quite well.
After laughing, Kate said, "I saw that this show was recruiting psychological doctors, so I submitted my resume and naturally mentioned my experience at the Monroe Clinic."
KNBC, of course, chose Kate, this psychological doctor, to create topics.
However, Zhou Mo Sen noticed other details.
"Have you been keeping an eye on the news here?"
Kate had previously said she was going to the East to practice medicine, while KNBC is a West Coast TV station.
"Of course I’m watching." Kate admitted directly.
And was surprised at Zhou Mo Sen’s meticulousness.
"Are you worried about money?"
"Of course." Kate didn’t hide her thoughts, "Is that cop still not giving up?"
Zhou Mo Sen nodded, then said, "But, he shouldn’t be much of a threat to us anymore."
Kate was naturally curious about what Zhou Mo Sen had done.
Unfortunately, Zhou Mo Sen wouldn’t tell her.
This made Kate somewhat disappointed.
Zhou Mo Sen didn’t tell her, simply because.
His plan was already in motion, and it didn’t have much to do with Kate.
There was no need to tell her.
This way, unexpected issues could be avoided.
Disappointed, Kate planned to ask about that ’gossip’.
"Then would you like to talk about Sidney?"
Actually, Kate was a mutual acquaintance of the two, but didn’t know the details of their breakup.
This time they met again because of "Beautiful Suffering".
The gossip spirit was already roused.
Zhou Mo Sen naturally didn’t want to talk about it either, brushing it off with a sentence.
"I already broke up with her a long time ago, you know that."
"Of course I know, but neither of you ever said why you broke up."
The more Zhou Mo Sen didn’t want to talk, the more curious Kate got.
Just then, Zhou Mo Sen’s phone rang.
It was Oden.
Zhou Mo Sen gave Kate a look.
The smart female doctor went to the bathroom to take a shower.
"What happened?"
"There was just a gunfight!"
"What? That guy..."
"Escaped, the DEA suddenly barged in, and Bloodline Gang’s Tiger got injured."
Zhou Mo Sen frowned deeply.
"They need a doctor."
Zhou Mo Sen hesitated for a moment, then picked up his clothes.
And Kate, wrapped in a towel and excited as if she had discovered a new continent, came out.
Still holding a tube of ’medicine’ in her hand.
"You still prepared Lidocaine? Haha... huh? Where’s he?"
She still wanted to try it.
Zhou Mo Sen, where have you gone?
...
Bloodline Gang.
Chaos reigned.
Owen was just a bait.
Doyle came to find him, and Owen took Doyle according to plan to find the ’goods’.
The direction was Tijuana.
This made sense, after all, if there were goods, they would come from there.
Unfortunately, the goods never existed.
There was only an ambush already set up.
The wilderness at night was actually quite creepy.
Originally, this was a perfect ambush.
No one expected the DEA to show up.
So, everyone ended up in a melee.
Gunfire echoed through the wilderness.
Doyle, being an old fox, took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Owen also disappeared, estimated to have been kidnapped by Doyle.
However, the Bloodline Gang also achieved their goal.
Doyle has now become a corrupt cop.
He absolutely cannot explain why he was there.
Even taking a step back, drug enforcement has little to do with him.
But in the melee, the Bloodline Gang also paid a high price.
Five people were shot, with three severely injured.
Thankfully, they were all brought back alive.
Of course, someone on the DEA side must have been injured too.
But in the pitch black, no one knows the details.
At this moment, Tiger lay on the bed.
The severe pain from his abdomen made it hard to breathe.
"Doctor! F*ck... Doctor!"
There were doctors in the black market, of course, but after examining him...
They all shook their heads.
"There’s a fragment near the artery, we can’t do anything..."
Tiger wouldn’t hear it, told those quacks to get lost!
And then, Brother Pi came.
"Attorney Oden is here."
"Huh? Then..." Tiger’s eyes lit up with hope.
Because Oden had said on the phone he would bring a doctor.
This doctor is...
Zhou Mo Sen followed Oden to the Bloodline Gang, he saw the look Tiger gave him.
Very clear.
It could be confirmed that even now this guy didn’t know Dr. Zhou was the mastermind behind it all.
"My doctor friend here is very skilled; you won’t die." Oden spoke first.
Zhou Mo Sen immediately cut him off and then came to Tiger’s side.
"I can save you, but I have a deal; your Bloodline Gang must obey me!"
Still conditions?
Tiger said defiantly, "That depends on your skills!"
Zhou Mo Sen squeezed a bit of something out and smeared it around Tiger’s wound.
A simple action made Tiger’s pain significantly decrease!
Miracle doctor!
"Good doctor, please save me, God bless you... please rest assured, I’ll do anything you say."
Tiger’s rapid change of attitude was exactly what Zhou Mo Sen expected.
This fool didn’t know what Lidocaine was, nor what local anesthesia meant.
However, Zhou Mo Sen originally planned to use this against Evelyn, to make this vixen completely obedient to him.
Now, let’s perform surgery on Tiger.
And the business Zhou Mo Sen wanted to do...
was Hyaluronic Acid.
