Gu Ying was unmoved by Black Panther's fawning and obsequiousness, and coldly said, "Stop talking nonsense. I'm going to ask you to do something. If you do it well, you'll be rewarded."
"Yes, yes, yes." Black Panther responded repeatedly, and then said cautiously, "Just give me your orders, and I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly. Otherwise, I'll give my head to you, Master Gu, to kick around like a ball."
"I need the personnel files of all doctors, nurses, administrative staff, and support staff at Qingping County Hospital for the past ten years, including those who have been transferred. Where did those transferred go, and what is their current situation? I'll give you two days. Can you find out?"
"Yes!" Black Panther nodded vigorously, his tone both ingratiating and confident, "Master Gu, it's rare for you to entrust me, Black Panther, with such a small matter. Even if it were a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, I, Black Panther, wouldn't dare to flinch. Rest assured, I guarantee that within two days, all the information you requested will be presented to you in its entirety for your review."
"Okay." Gu Ying nodded and said, "I'll come again in two days."
Hearing that Gu Ying was leaving, Black Panther quickly tried to stop him: "No, Master Gu...aren't you looking down on me? It's rare for you to grace us with your presence. If I can't properly entertain you for a few days, would I, Black Panther, even be a human being?"
"Besides, Qingping County isn't a good place. The hotels and inns there aren't very good either. Even if we gave you their best rooms, it would be an inconvenience for you, Mr. Gu. My little place may not be great either, but it's more spacious, cleaner, and tidier. Plus, I have servants to wait on me. It's definitely more comfortable than staying in a hotel for you."
"How about I have someone prepare a guest room?"
Even when we go out, we stay in hotels. Just like Black Panther said, staying at Black Panther's house is always more comfortable, and we can get news about anything faster.
Moreover, Black Panther spoke earnestly, so Gu Ying did not refuse again. She simply said, "Then have someone make some food. After I eat, I'll rest for a bit. Then, whatever information you find, just give it to me directly. You don't need to wait two days to give it all to me at once."
"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing Gu Ying grace him with her presence, Black Panther's face immediately lit up with a smile. He then shouted at the leader who had brought Gu Ying over, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and have someone bring up breakfast, and prepare a room—the best one! Master Gu is my esteemed guest, Black Panther. To neglect him is worse than neglecting my own mother. Hurry up and get going! Stop dawdling and embarrassing me!"
After the junior leader hurriedly agreed and left, Black Panther looked at Gu Ying with a fawning expression: "Master Gu, please come to the dining room."
As the saying goes, "You can't hit a smiling face," and "It's impolite not to reciprocate." From the moment he heard Gu Ying's voice until now, Black Panther had been fawning over her. Gu Ying, however, had stopped being cold and instead looked at Black Panther and asked, "How is the old lady's health?"
Hearing Gu Ying ask about his mother, Black Panther was truly moved and immediately said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Gu. My mother's health has been quite poor before, and she could only lie in bed and couldn't get up at all. But now she's getting better and better. If this continues, I think it won't be long before she can get out of bed and walk on her own."
Gu Ying wasn't good at handling interpersonal relationships. As a shadow, his only concern was his master, Gu Shaoyong, and Gu Shaoyong's orders. He didn't care much about anything else. It was already quite remarkable that he remembered to ask about Black Panther's mother.
Therefore, after listening to Black Panther's words, Gu Ying nodded slightly and said, "That's good," and then said nothing more.
