Chapter 385: Chapter 2 Matchmaking

Dai Wei had already realized that the Vice Dean was very fond of him and appreciated him. This caused him no shortage of questioning and dissatisfaction from others within the hospital.

What was more exaggerated was that the Head of the Inpatient Department, who was also the Vice Dean’s son-in-law, Virgil Faust, invited him to visit the Faust family’s manor on the outskirts of London. Even more, he had arrived in Europe on a private jet.

For Dai Wei, who had lived in Nanmian Village since he was a child, the sudden change to Europe was so great that it completely bewildered him.

What... what on earth is happening?

What did Virgil Faust’s suggestion mean?

But no matter how much he asked, he could no longer get an answer.

Dai Wei could only choose to follow Virgil into the manor.

There was a vast horse paddock within the manor grounds, where countless horses were grazing at the moment.

A young-looking boy was riding on one of the horses, circling around the paddock. The boy held a shotgun and occasionally aimed it at the servants in the paddock.

The servants were so scared out of their wits that they all cried out for mercy.

"Wait, what is this?"

Seeing this scene, Virgil said to Dai Wei, "He’s my nephew Silas."

The boy approached one servant on horseback and coldly said, "Do you know why I want to punish you?"

The servant began to tremble and said, "Please... Master Silas, don’t kill us... "

"What use do I have for you if you can’t handle even a small matter?" Silas sneered as he raised his shotgun at the servant, "How about this, you run now. I will shoot three times at you, and whoever doesn’t die after three shots can live. How’s that? I’m quite merciful, right?"

This scene made Dai Wei furiously indignant.

He was a nineteen-year-old hot-blooded young man, who had now implanted a cursed object and become a Paranormal Doctor, acquiring a bit of the fearlessness of a calf that does not fear a tiger. He knew that the other party was a relative of the Vice Dean but still spoke up to stop him, "What are you trying to do?"

"Hm?"

Silas looked over and saw Virgil and Dai Wei.

"Uncle? And who is he, daring to meddle in my business?"

If Silas hadn’t seen Virgil standing next to Dai Wei, unsure of Dai Wei’s identity, he would have shot him already.

"Silas, you will be able to start an internship in the hospital department in a few years," Virgil also spoke out to stop him, "The Vice Dean won’t want our manor to have any extra ghosts."

"Uncle, your personality sure is no fun, not like Uncle’s. If it weren’t for Uncle’s ruthless actions, we couldn’t have wiped out the Darren family so quickly."

Just at that moment, a black horse suddenly leaped out from behind the paddock!

A girl was riding on the black horse, charging straight at Silas.

The girl’s horse-riding was extremely fast, and just as Silas was turning his horse around, she collided with him!

"Alucia!"

Virgil immediately lunged forward because he saw the girl knock Silas to the ground, and then she raised her shotgun at Silas!

"Stop!"

Virgil would have never expected Dai Wei and Alucia to meet under such circumstances.

"Brother-in-law," Alucia still aimed the gun at Silas and said, "You want to kill me to save him?"

"Bitch!" Silas shouted, "You dare point a gun at me! Grandfather will never let you off!"

"I’ve long since not wanted to live," Alucia’s expression was extraordinarily cold, "I’m waiting for your family to come to kill me at any time. Anytime."

Dai Wei was also completely stunned.

The girl had black hair and purple eyes and was strikingly beautiful, dressed in a riding outfit, with her shotgun in hand, she exuded a valiant aura.

"Alucia, put the gun down! Silas hasn’t yet been implanted with a cursed object to enter the hospital!" Virgil continued to try to persuade her, "Do me this favor!"

"Brother-in-law..." Alucia looked up at Dai Wei, who was by his side, and said, "It’s him, right?"

"Yes... it is."

"I am now a new widow," Alucia said coldly, "I wonder if you have informed him of that, brother-in-law?"

A widow?

Dai Wei was surprised because the girl looked to be under twenty... no, so she was actually a young widow?

...

"You told me you wanted to kill all members of the Faust family. Does that include... Alucia Faust too?"

Night fell, and neither Dai Lin nor Milan had any desire to sleep.

So they simply decided not to sleep at all.

Dai Lin had the staff downstairs bring up some wine, and he drank with Milan. After all, a "Paranormal Doctor" who didn’t want to get drunk wouldn’t get drunk.

"Of course, there’s no exception," Milan said, though her tone was not as firm, "Yes, now she is Alucia Faust, no longer Ya Lujia Dailun."

Dai Lin knew all of Milan’s past.

In the old Darren Family, only one person could truly be called a good person. That was Milan’s third brother, Lumian. And back then, to ease the tension between the two great families, the Faust and the Darren, they chose an alliance through marriage.

"She was your third brother’s most beloved wife, wasn’t she?"

"Yes," Milan said, swirling her glass, "I used to like her very much too. But in the end, she stood on the side that was hostile to us. And, my third brother is already dead."

As she said this, Milan looked toward Dai Lin: "In some ways, my brother was like you. He valued medical ethics and cared for his patients. If it were him, he would have gone to the manor to save people no matter the danger. But my sister-in-law... I mean Alucia Faust, she chose to marry my brother just to escape the Faust family."

...

"I didn’t expect that you would meet under these circumstances today."

Virgil showed a rueful expression to Dai Wei.

By this time, Dai Wei had already checked into the room arranged by Virgil.

"It was originally planned that you would meet at dinner tonight."

Dai Wei then asked, "So the so-called suggestion refers to... her?"

"Yes."

"Was what she said at that time true?"

Dai Wei had also realized it.

The Faust family had brought him here for a matchmaking session.

Him and that horse-riding woman, Alucia.

"It’s true," Virgil continued, "So, it’s just a suggestion. If you get married, from then on, you’ll be a member of the Faust family, and we’ll cultivate you to become an outstanding ’Paranormal Doctor’."

Get married?

"Talking about marriage now is too... And she is..."

Dai Wei was too embarrassed to say the word "widow."

A widow, and a recent one at that?

Dai Wei didn’t understand, where did he have so much value that the vice-president regarded him so highly?

And he could tell, Alucia was extremely resistant to this marriage. It was known that her husband had died not long ago, and now she was to marry a stranger she had never met before; who could accept that?

"By the way, Minister Virgil, you mentioned that the suggestion was dangerous; what did you mean by that?"

"If you agree... Of course, it’s certainly not just about getting married. While we’re cultivating you, you’ll also have to face things that are far more difficult and dangerous than the average ’Paranormal Doctor.’ I went through the same process in my time."

To marry into the family... And to marry a widow... Most people naturally would be extremely resistant.

But conversely, from then on, there would be an abundance of Spiritual Therapy Points, meaning he could live as long as he wished. With comprehensive training, he’d be better equipped to face ghosts and curses, and would achieve greater power and status.

And of course, his potential had not been fully recognized, so this was an investment by the Faust family.

Virgil, recalling Alucia’s resolute decision, could naturally understand.

Her husband and his family had been cleanly slaughtered by her own father and brothers, and her sister-in-law, Milan, was still being hunted down.

And now her family wanted her to remarry, to continue extracting her value. Even if this investment failed, it wouldn’t be a big loss to the family. Because Alucia was originally an illegitimate daughter, who was later acknowledged to carry the surname Faust.

Virgil’s situation back then... wasn’t it the same?

The afternoon he received Lailiya’s call, he would never have imagined that such a day would come.

On that day, he arrived at the address as agreed and saw that Rolls-Royce Phantom.

He got into the car after a man who looked like a bodyguard opened the door for him.

And when Lailiya saw Virgil, she simply handed him a business card.

"This is my current profession."

Virgil took the business card.

"666... Hospital???"
