“The Cleaners will obviously deal with this matter, but they will at most make it look like a sudden death,” the old daoist said carelessly.
“But, the people in the vicinity have seen the vampire, and some of them may even have filmed him and uploaded the video to the net,” Xia Yan said again.
“Did you watch Men in Black?”
“Which men in black?”
“I’m talking about the Hollywood movie, Men in Black.”
“I have seen it, what about it… Do the Cleaners have a memory-erasing product?”
“It won’t be difficult for them to get it,” the old daoist said.
“But, what if videos and pics get on the net?” Xia Yan asked.
“Dealing with this is quite easy. First, none would believe it. Second, do you think people can upload anything and whatever to the net?” the old daoist said.
“You’re right,” Xia Yan nodded. In China, they dealt with many affairs in a crude, yet effective way. All of a sudden, he recalled something and asked curiously, “Old… No, Daoist, does an old man like you also surf the net?”
“Just have a look at me, do you think I won’t surf the net?” the old daoist shook his flowers adorned t-shirt and his long hair, as if he was a fashion trendsetter.
“This…” Xia Yan was left at a loss for words.
“This is my business card, it has my Weibo ID and Wechat number. It also has my personal website’s address. If you have any more questions, email me,” The old daoist threw a card at him.
Xia Yan caught the card and didn’t bother with reading it because the light was quite dim over here. He just placed it in his pocket and opened his mouth to say something else, yet his phone suddenly rang.
“Xia Yan, Zhao Qiang got injured and knocked out. How are you?” Qin Jian’s anxious voice echoed out.
Xia Yan was surprised and he quickly questioned him, “What happened?”
“I don’t know. Didn’t you go after the three foreigners? He has called me and told me he got injured, and by the time I reached him, I found him knocked out,” Qin Jian said anxiously.
“Where are you now?” Xia Yan asked quickly.
“We are heading to Sheng Hospital in a taxi, hurry up and come over,” Qin Jian said.
“I’ll be there right away,” Xia Yan hung up on him. He wasn’t in the mood to continue chatting with the old daoist and he just collected the skeleton soldier and waved his hand at the old daoist. He said, “Old Daoist, I have some urgent business and I’m leaving right now.”
“If you have any issue, don’t forget to seek me,” the old daoist said. “Oh, by the way, I won’t tell the Cleaners about you.”
Xia Yan was taken aback and he said, “Thank you!”
After Xia Yan left the alley, he quickly stopped a taxi and rushed to Sheng Hospital. On the way, he gave a call to Qin Jian and said, “Scoundrel, take a look at Lil Qiang’s neck and see whether he has any wound over there.”
“Ok… Okay!” Qin Jian quickly observed Zhao Qiang and he was startled by what he found. He said in a shivering voice, “Xia Yan, he has four little holes in his neck, and he still has… Teeth’s marks.”
“F*ck!” Xia Yan got quite anxious. The man from Haidong was also a vampire, while Zhao Qiang was only an ordinary mortal and he would obviously end up bitten by him. He could only hope that the situation was still manageable, and he could only hope that Zhao Qiang would hold on until he reached him.
“What’s wrong? Xia Yan, what bit him? This doesn’t look like a dog bite,” Qin Jian questioned him.
“Scoundrel, don’t go to Sheng Hospital, they can’t treat Lil Qiang. You should look for a remote location and wait for me there,” Xia Yan said.
“This…” Qin Jian hesitated for a moment, and Xia Yan couldn’t help but get anxious. He raised his voice and said, “Scoundrel, don’t you trust me?”
“Of course, I trust you,” Qin Jian said without any hesitation.
“Then do as you are told,” Xia Yan shouted.
“Fine, I’ll follow your instructions. Cabby, go to Binhe Road,” Qin Jian instructed the driver.
“Cabby, go to Binhe Road,” after Xia Yan hung up the phone, he also instructed the driver.
“Fine,” the driver turned the wheel and asked him curiously, “Bro, what kind of wound can Sheng Hospital not treat?”
“A vampire bite,” Xia Yan said carelessly and looked at the plastic bag next to the driver.
“Haha, you really know how to joke around.”
“Cabby, can you give me some of those Melissa’s chocolate balls?”
“Fine, as long as you don’t mind getting my leftover.”
The taxi quickly reached Binhe Road, and Xia Yan quickly saw Qin Jian waiting next to the road after they drove for several hundred meters down the road. He paid for the taxi and went down, and he was led by Qin Jian to a big tree.
Binhe Road was quite serene and secluded. There were only An Xiaoru, Anna, and Xiaoyu over here and they encircled Zhao Qiang anxiously. The latter was laying on a bench with his eyes shut tightly.
“Xia Yan, why didn’t you want us to send Zhao Qiang to the hospital? He’s in a critical condition,” Upon seeing Xia Yan, An Xiaoru questioned him loudly.
“That’s right. Xia Yan, why do you think that doctors can’t treat his wound? Can you treat it?” Anna also questioned him.
“Cousin, what thing has bitten Zhao Qiang? It seems like you know it, don’t you?” Xiaoyu asked timidly. She was quite cowardly and she couldn’t help but think about many terrifying creatures upon seeing the teeth marks.
“Xia Yan, do you know what thing has bitten him?” An Xiaoru and Anna had already calmed down, but they still questioned him again.
“This…” Xia Yan didn’t know what to say. He still didn’t want to tell them the truth because they were only ordinary people and they shouldn’t come in contact with certain matters.
“You won’t tell us that he got bitten by a vampire, will you?” Anna looked at Xia Yan with sparkling eyes. It was unknown what was in her mind.
“Miss Anna, don’t shoot your mouth off, just hearing about it is scary enough,” Xiaoyu said. She was quite startled!
“Pah, we have already tried Ouija divination, and it won’t be strange to meet vampires, is it?” An Xiaoru said.
“Xia Yan, tell us the truth. We have already gone through a supernatural incident and we can accept and take on a lot more than you think,” Anna said.
Xia Yan started mulling this over. They already got implicated in this affair and the Caucasian vampire had even left a tracking mark on the three girls; they would inevitably fight again. He might be able to keep them in the dark right now, but he wouldn’t be able to do so next time. So, it would be better to tell them the truth.
“You aren’t mistaken, Lil Qiang got bitten by a vampire,” after Xia Yan mulled this over, he finally spoke.
“You aren’t joking, are you?” The girls asked at the same time.
Xia Yan was left at a loss for words. [You have just said that you can take on and accept anything, yet you aren’t believing me now. Just look at Qin Jian, he didn’t utter a single word, but his legs are already shivering. It’s obvious that he accepted this unlike you.]
“I have also been bitten,” Xia Yan pointed at his left shoulder, and it was only at this moment that the girls noticed that his sleeve was torn and four bloody holes were left on his deltoid muscle.
“You… You aren’t joking, are you?” The girls’ expression changed drastically and Anna spoke in a shivering voice.
“Anna, what are you shivering for? Weren’t you quite amazing during Ouija divination on that day?” An Xiaoru looked at her in disdain.
“I got so scared that I almost had my period prematurely,” Anna said.
In the end, the girls finally accepted the cruel reality, but they quickly raised more questions.
“Xia Yan, why did Zhao Qiang end up unconscious, while you didn’t suffer any issues? By the way, is it the Nanyu man who bites… No, it’s Nanyu vampire, isn’t he?” An Xiaoru asked.

Glad to see the MC made friends with the Daoist. I enjoy the dialogue and scenes between them.
