Nightmare Assault

Chapter 239: Rescue

“Doctor,” Fatty opened his mouth. A few seconds later, he said with difficulty, “If I remember correctly… escorting is illegal in our country, right?” Before Jiang Cheng could answer, Fatty continued, “I saw it on the television before. The escorts hugged their heads and knelt neatly beside the wall. Then, they were sent away in a black car.”

“What does that have to do with me?” Jiang Cheng raised his brow and said condescendingly. It was then that Fatty realised there was a lipstick print at the end of the Doctor’s brow. He didn’t notice it earlier due to the light. Fatty’s face twisted together. If the Doctor were arrested at this moment, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself. The scratch marks on his exposed skin and his clothes were great evidence.

Sensing Fatty’s gaze on him, Jiang Cheng pulled his clothes tighter for safety reasons. “It’s not what you’re thinking.” He explained, “Those girls are in their rebellious phase. I’m doing this to rescue them.”

Fatty pointed at the lipstick prints on his face, “Is this how you rescue them?”

“This is just the methods, not the goals.” Jiang Cheng said calmly, “You have to understand that I’m an angel in white. If I can rescue them, I don’t mind how many sins I need to suffer.” He rubbed the lipstick marks on his face, and they only became smudged.

Fatty, “...”

“Did you think I went to drink and have fun?” Jiang Cheng sighed and said officiously, “You’re wrong. I was trying to understand them from their perspective. As a psychiatrist, I need to understand the lifestyle of my patients. I’m not as happy as you think I am. It’s all an illusion.” Jiang Cheng naturally stacked up the paper bills and shoved them into his pocket. From Fatty’s perspective, the Doctor’s pocket bulged.

“Every treatment session for me is pain. The emptiness and loneliness reflected in every lost girl’s eyes are a whip on my body.” Jiang Cheng gripped his chest and frowned with pain, “I could only numb that pain with alcohol. Traditional treatment will only complicate things. What I need to do is to approach them at an equal level, like befriending them,” Jiang Cheng’s eyes burned, “Friends who could show each other everything.

“To do that, I do what they do. I experience their joy and happiness. Then, I find the core of their issues. I expose it, awakening them from their slumber.”

Fatty’s lips twitched. “Doctor, did you manage to save them then?”

“Not yet.” Jiang Cheng moved his body comfortably, “But I feel like I’m almost there.”

“Doctor,” Fatty said awkwardly, “Actually, you don’t need to explain yourself to me. I can understand it. Even though our conditions are not the best, you don’t need to learn from Brother Pi Wan. We can still…”

Jiang Cheng lifted two fingers. Fatty instantly shut up. He knew that the Doctor was about to start his lecture again.

Jiang Cheng shook his fingers, “First, I’m not the same as Pi Wan. I’m of a higher quality than him. Second, I’m not just focusing on the rich widows. My client’s average age is quite young.

“One last thing,” He said, “Tonight’s team only consisted of young misses. I don’t know anything about the rich ladies. Those ladies will not go around town in a race car. It’s too conspicuous. They normally use black high-class vans. The windows are all blocked out. They have multiple car plates.

“Plus, they will not frequent crowded places like the KTV. They normally pick clubs with exclusive memberships. New members will have to get invitations from existing members.”

“How is that knowing nothing about them?” Fatty stood up with agitation. In just one night, the Doctor’s image in Fatty’s heart turned upside-down from a high-end talent to a high-end service talent.

Even the next morning, Jiang Cheng felt Fatty’s gaze on him was unusual. It felt like Fatty wanted to say something, but he didn’t know where to start. There was also derision in his eyes.

Through his years of experience, Jiang Cheng believed Fatty was in a state of self-doubt.

After breakfast, Jiang Cheng received a call. The voice on the other side of the phone was clearly happy. However, Jiang Cheng was reserved and professional.

After ending the call, Jiang Cheng turned around. He told Fatty, who was fixing the loosened couch in the corner, “Fatty, clean up the place. Someone is coming.”

“Okay, Doctor.”

Half an hour later, the clicking of heels came from outside the door. It was from several pairs of heels. They paused before the door and knocked on the door politely.

Jiang Cheng blew at his cup of coffee, sipped it and said slowly, “Please come in.”

The door opened. A few ladies who looked gorgeous and rich walked in. They looked like mothers who had taken good care of themselves.

“Doctor Jiang,” The leader was a lady who wore long boots and a camel shawl. She nodded at Jiang Cheng, “Thank you for helping me out with Nuan Nuan.”

“It’s part of my job,” The Doctor answered normally.

“After the driver fetched her home yesterday, she chatted with me. We… hadn’t chatted like that in a long time already,” The woman’s eyes reddened, “In any case, thank you so much, Doctor Jiang.”
