"Boss, Jonathan has confessed."
In the middle of the night, Chen Tuo returned, still emanating a sll of blood.
He plopped down on the sofa, picked up the cup on the table, and took a gulp. "The guy he was with today, Dong Hui, he was recruited by Jonathan. He's the one who sold the dicine to Old Master Mu. Jonathan was sent by Country A, wanting to create divisions among several factions so they can take advantage of the chaos."
As he spoke, he sneered. They still liked using such despicable thods.
Ye Lingfeng nodded, unfazed and already anticipating this.
"Where are they now?"
At this point, Chen Tuo smirked. "I sent them to the island. It's a perfect opportunity for our brothers to practice."
Ye Lingfeng remained noncommittal.
"By the way, Boss, why is Qin Lie still investigating you? What grudge do you have with him that he's so curious about you?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng's fingertip paused, and he looked up at him. "Isn't it because you showed him the golden handcuffs today?"
What else could he have used instead of the golden handcuffs? That was the only thing he had on him.
But he didn't dare to say that and awkwardly replied, "Could he have found out sothing? It's unlikely. I confird with Zheng Yu that our information is guaranteed to be kept secret."
Zheng Yu was the top hacker, and no one could penetrate his defenses.
Ye Lingfeng nodded. "Still, don't let your guard down. Be careful around Qin Lie in the future."
"Okay, got it, Boss. Zheng Yu is back. Should I call him?"
"No need, there's nothing urgent." Rembering sothing, Ye Lingfeng took out the Dragon Card and handed it to Chen Tuo. "Go donate so money to a place called Sanqing Temple."
"Sanqing Temple?" Chen Tuo was surprised. When did he start worshipping gods?
"Zhouzhou gave the prescription for the Hemostatic Pill for free. Go donate so money as a way to repay her."
So that's it.
"I didn't expect our little money-grubber to be generous sotis."
Ye Lingfeng casually responded, "Rember to go."
"Alright, I'll go tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Ye Lingfeng stopped talking and continued with his work, but the words Chen Tuo had just said flashed through his mind.
Why was Qin Lie so persistent in investigating him? He didn't seem like soone who ddled in other people's affairs.
Thinking about this, his gaze darkened, and he pondered in silence, unable to figure it out.
The next day, as soon as the sky brightened, Zhouzhou got up. She had planned to buy ginseng yesterday, but as soon as she heard that Ye Lingfeng had a big deal, she forgot about it. So today, she made an appointnt with Mu Xuan to buy dicine.
She quickly finished breakfast and said to Qin Lie, "Dad, you don't need to send us today. Eldest Senior Brother said he will co to pick up."
"Okay." Qin Lie nodded, wiping the corner of her mouth. "Don't rush, eat slowly."
"Mhmm!" Zhouzhou nodded, her mouth still stuffed full, and her cheeks bulged as she chewed.
After finishing the last bite, she imdiately jumped off the chair. "Dad, I'm leaving."
"Take it easy."
"I know." Zhouzhou said as she ran off.
Qin Lie shook his head helplessly. This girl, why does she love money so much?
Oh well, he should go make money too. After all, his little girl liked it.
anwhile, Zhouzhou arrived at a herbal shop with Mu Xuan. It was recomnded by Liu Hanqiu, claiming to have 500-year-old ginseng.
Mu Xuan held her hand and walked inside, asking, "Hello, do you have 500-year-old ginseng here?"
Before the shop assistant could answer, a person suddenly walked out from behind the curtain upon seeing them. He squinted his eyes when he saw them. "It's you guys!"
Zhouzhou turned her head and blurted out, "Big Fool!"
Hearing these three words, Cen Zhiyuan's expression imdiately turned dark. He had spent nearly 200 million buying a painting from his mortal enemy, and now he was being called a Big Fool.
Even now, thinking about this matter still made him furious.
Upon seeing them, all the new and old grievances surged up, and he asked with a stern face, "What are you doing here?"
The shop assistant answered this ti, respectfully saying, "Mr. Cen, they ca here to buy ginseng, specifically 500-year-old ginseng."
So that's it.
Cen Zhiyuan burst into laughter and looked at them, coldly uttering two words, "Not selling!"
Since the mont Mu Xuan saw him, he had already predicted this outco. He gave Cen Zhiyuan a casual glance and couldn't be bothered to waste any more words with him. He held Zhouzhou's hand and prepared to leave.
However, unexpectedly, Cen Zhiyuan loudly proclaid, "The 500-year-old ginseng I have here is the only one in the entire Jing City. If you're willing to beg , I might reluctantly sell it to you."
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou turned her head and looked at him with a strange expression. Her voice was clear and crisp, but her words were ant to infuriate. She said, "Big Fool, are you stupid? Do you think we're all fools? It may be true that you're the only one in Jing City who has it, but it doesn't an you're the only one in the whole world. My master has an 800-year-old ginseng king.
Instead of begging you, we might as well beg our master. It's such a simple concept, why don't you understand?"
As she spoke, she sighed deeply, shook her head, and looked at him with sympathy. "Such a pity, how did you beco senile so early?"
Mu Xuan smiled and raised an eyebrow. "It's not early. He's already in his seventies, which is the pri ti for senility."
"I see. Then I won't bully him anymore. My master said we shouldn't bully fools."
"Zhouzhou is so obedient."
"..."
Their synchronized banter almost made Cen Zhiyuan spew blood. His chest heaved up and down, and he took a deep breath to steady himself before saying coldly, "Stop playing tricks with . If you have the ability, don't co begging !"
"Who asked you?!" Zhouzhou also beca angry. With her hands on her chubby waist, her round belly puffed out, and her small mouth fired like a machine gun, continuously speaking, "You were the one who called us over and insisted that we beg you. And now you're turning the tables on us? My master said that so people beco shaless when they grow old. Are you trying to take advantage of your age?
Too bad, cause we won't buy it. Whoever wants to buy it, let them buy it."
"Don't you have a bad mory? Need treatnt? Considering you're our senior, give 250 and it's yours!"
She dared to insult him!
Cen Zhiyuan's finger trembled as he pointed at her, saying "y-y-you" for a long ti, unable to utter a single word out of anger.
However, Zhouzhou was not afraid at all. With her chubby double chin held high, she said, "What about you? I didn't expect you to have a stutter. Stutter dicine is also 250. Want it?"
"No!" Cen Zhiyuan angrily shouted, but when he saw the strange look from the shop assistant, he realized he had been led into a trap by the little girl.
"No? I don't even need it!" He was so furious that his vision turned black. He pinched the acupoint between his eyebrows to prevent himself from fainting. That would be embarrassing.
He looked at them with a dark expression and said, "What's the use of playing tricks? We're all mbers of the Mystery Sect. The Mystery Sect Conference will be held next month. Are you dare to co to the Sanqing Temple?"
"We'll co if we want to. We're not afraid of you!" Zhouzhou had a small stature but a strong presence. "Anyone who doesn't go will be a loser!"
Those words sounded just like sothing Li Yuanming would say. Mu Xuan weakly rubbed his forehead and looked at his junior sister, who was bristling like an angry little hen. His gaze softened.
After giving Cen Zhiyuan a cold glance, he led Zhouzhou away.
They walked a long way, but Zhouzhou still looked furious. Her chubby cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish. As soon as she returned ho, she took out cinnabar and talisman paper to draw talismans.
Mu Xuan furrowed his brow slightly. He didn't want to discourage the little girl, but he eventually spoke up, "Zhouzhou, I forgot to tell you sothing. You don't have the qualification to participate in the Mystery Sect Conference for the ti being."
"What?" Zhouzhou dropped her pen with a snap, looking stunned and visibly shaken. She had the appearance of soone deeply affected. "Why?"
