Chapter 1192: We Have Many Doors Back Home

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

Phelps had thought it through. As long as his brother, Fields, arrived, he would immediately get the police to arrest Fangzheng and his disciple. He refused to believe that Fangzheng’s disciple would dare to publicly attack the police. If he did, they would face gunfire and all kinds of ordnance. He didn’t believe that a single person would dare resist a country’s might.

As for why Fangzheng would be arrested? He was supposed to be in prison in the first place!

At that moment, Phelps received a call from Fields. Fields said bitterly, “Brother, are you seeing things? I’m at the police station, and Fangzheng is still perfectly in custody.”

“Impossible! Then who’s the one in front of me?” Phelps looked intently at Fangzheng.

Fangzheng smiled and didn’t say a word.

Phelps felt his back turn wet with cold sweat. He gulped a mouthful of saliva and asked, “Are you… sure?”

“Obviously, I’m sure! I went to take a look and even touched him to confirm that he was alive. But when I came back, the hot water pipe exploded. I’m still on my way to the hospital,” Fields said bitterly.

Phelps’s heart trembled. He really didn’t understand which Fangzheng was real anymore, but there was one thing he understood. No matter which one it was, they weren’t ordinary.

Fields said, “But I’ve sent a few policemen over. Do as you see fit. Sigh, you should help me think of something. Hurry up and send the monk away from my police station. This fellow is practically a god of bad luck.”

Phelps repeatedly consoled Fields before hanging up the phone. Realizing that the police were coming, he felt a bit more confident.

Downstairs, they arrived at the main entrance and Phelps happened to see ambulances parked there. His security detail was being checked and placed in a corner. After checking one of the guards, the doctor shook his head and angrily said, “You people are ridiculous! Who said that they fell from the 88th floor? Would it be a simple case of fainting if they really fell from the 88th floor? Jerks! Handle these people yourself. They will wake up with a basin of water!”

With that said, the ambulances sped off without turning back.

The people present exchanged looks. They could swear that they had seen these people fall from the 88th floor. But… Why did they only faint from the fall and not die? This didn’t make sense!

As for Phelps, he felt the cold sweat on his forehead thicken. The more unreasonable the situation was, the more afraid he was. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there were two monsters beside him.

Right at that moment, there was the sound of sirens. Phelps saw two police cars driving over, but the police cars were a little strange. Their car hoods were raised, as if they had collided with something.

Regardless of that, he just needed the police to save him. He had enough of the two monks!

The police cars stopped and eight police officers quickly got out of the car. With all of them keeping one of their hands on the guns at their waists, they rushed over at the same time. They moved swiftly with great skill. Their actions showcased the might of the police, but of course, they didn’t seem so mighty once their bruised faces became discernible.

Phelps smiled at Fangzheng. “Abbot Fangzheng, it looks like we won’t be able to have our meal.”

Fangzheng smiled at Phelps without a word.

Phelps saw the policemen run past him. As they ran, one said, “Split up. Guard the elevators and the stairs. Let’s go up and arrest that monk! Don’t let him escape!”

As they spoke, the policemen split up to either guard the doors or head upstairs. None of them looked at Phelps!

Phelps was dumbfounded. He looked at the police and waved his hand, but he was ignored. It was as though they couldn’t see him…

At that moment, Fangzheng smiled. “Patron, let’s eat.”

With a sobbing tone, Phelps nodded and said, “Alright, let’s eat, let’s eat. Damn it, let’s eat!”

After getting into the car, the chauffeur didn’t understand what Phelps was thinking and asked, “Boss, where are we going?”

Phelps said impatiently, “Just find a random place!”

When the chauffeur heard that, he was puzzled. His boss was never one to eat at some random place! Furthermore, he was bringing a friend with him this time… Thus, the chauffeur took the initiative to drive to a restaurant where Phelps normally went called ‘Windhouse.’

Windhouse was not the largest restaurant in the city, but it was the most expensive restaurant!

Its entrance was a huge door, and behind the door was a tall tree. One couldn’t see what was behind it at all, but one could tell from the luxurious cars entering and leaving the parking lot that this place was definitely good.

When Phelps realized where he was, he rolled his eyes. Before he said a thing, the darn baldy had gotten out of the car. He even turned around and said, “Phelps, this place is not bad. Let’s do it here.”

Phelps immediately had the urge to strangle the monk to death.?You really f**king aren’t standing on ceremony!

However, Phelps thought about it a bit. Now that he was at the monk’s mercy and couldn’t afford to offend him, he had to bear with it. From his point of view, if he couldn’t afford to offend him, he could just stall for time. As long as the negotiations ended, how could the monk change the global consensus?

Furthermore, how much could one adult monk and one young monk eat? Even if the place they were at was expensive, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to treat them for a lifetime!

Thinking about the wonderful future, Phelps forced a smile. “Since you like it here, let’s eat here. Oh, right. Master, after entering, can we not talk about the medicine formula?”

Fangzheng smiled. “Of course. This Penniless Monk never talks about business when eating.”

“That’s good. Let’s go.” Hearing this, Phelps’s face immediately lit up.?Isn’t it just eating? I’ll gorge you to death!

Phelps was overjoyed. He got out of the car, and the chauffeur went to park the car. As for Phelps, he took out a black card and handed it to the woman at the door. Two women immediately pushed open the huge, old door for them, and behind it was some artificial rockery that prevented direct view of the area behind.

Phelps raised his head and said, “Master, don’t underestimate this door. This is an antique. It’s supposedly an imperial palace’s main door of some dynasty. It’s priceless.”

Fangzheng nodded with a smile, but he didn’t care.

From Fangzheng’s point of view, the only value of antiques was the historical information they carried. Once that information was deciphered by the future generations, their remaining value was to showcase a snippet of history. There was nothing priceless about them.

Seeing Fangzheng’s calm expression, Phelps asked, “Master, do you know much about antiques?”

Fangzheng said, “I can tell this door is alright. However, there are many such doors in China’s Forbidden City. If you want to take a look, you can go anytime.”

Hearing this, Phelps’s face instantly turned livid. Only then did he remember that this fellow was from a country with thousands of years of history. China’s Forbidden Palace had plenty of ancient doors, so numerous that even the Chinese didn’t know how many there were. With it a common sight, would he care about an abandoned door in some foreign country?

Phelps shook his head and stopped bragging. He just shut his mouth and led the way.
