Chapter 184: One hundred eighty-three, busy signal Chapter 184: One hundred eighty-three, busy signal Upon reaching the parking spot and seeing the car that had turned into a heap of scrap tal, Luo Shu helplessly shook her head. It wasn’t easy to have a ans of transport, and now it was gone again.
After cleaning up the car, Luo Shu checked the ti and sighed, “It seems I can only go tomorrow.” The bus to Drum Mountain Town was no longer available, so she could only go back to Fangting Town and call Hanmo.
Lu Hanmo checked his watch once more, furrowing his brows with anxiety as he looked into the distance. It was already afternoon. Why hadn’t the car he sent to pick up Shushu returned? Could sothing have happened? The more he worried, the more his mind raced with possibilities.
As ti passed, Lu Hanmo grew increasingly restless and finally couldn’t bear it any longer. He turned and headed towards the office. He had to call Shushu’s ho to inquire about the situation. Knowing Shushu’s character, unless she was held up by sothing, she would never break an appointnt.
When Luo Shu returned ho, she saw Fu Yi watering the potted plants in the courtyard. Not everyone could enter the Divine Doctor Family, so when she left, she had Lu Hanmo call them and tell Fu Yi and the others not to follow her. Moreover, if a real ergency arose, with their current strength, they could no longer protect her.
Fu Yi nodded slightly at Luo Shu and continued watering the flowers. He rarely spoke to Luo Shu unless necessary. His responsibility was only to protect her.
Luo Shu smiled, stepped indoors, and went straight to the phone, picking it up to make a call.
“Beep—beep—beep—” The phone emitted a busy signal, and Lu Hanmo’s frown deepened. He hung up and dialed again.
“Is soone using the phone?” Luo Shu set down the receiver and redialed. The result was the sa!
After several attempts, Lu Hanmo simply put down the phone and strode towards the office. He must take leave to check on her. What if sothing had happened to Shushu?
No sooner had he stepped out of the office than the phone there started ringing.
Lu Hanmo thought for a mont, then turned back into the office and picked up the phone, “Drum Mountain Training Camp!”
“Hanmo, it’s Mom.” When Zhu Huizhen heard Lu Hanmo’s voice, she was delighted. She had called him the other day when he wasn’t at the camp, so she thought to call and see if he was there now, and coincidentally, it was he who answered the phone.
“Mom! Is there anything you need?” Lu Hanmo asked.
“I received the Snow Skin Cream that Luo Shu sent, thank her for . Also, regarding the money from selling the Snow Skin Cream, should I wire it to Luo Shu now, or shall we give it to her when you co to Jinchen?”
“Let’s talk about it when we go to Jinchen. Mom, I have sothing going on right now, so I can’t talk much. I’ll call you later this evening,” Lu Hanmo said, then hung up the phone. Right now, his entire mind was filled with worry for Shushu’s safety, and he truly had no heart for a lengthy chat with his mother.
Luo Shu hung up the phone once again. The ongoing busy signal implied soone else was on a call; she decided to try again later.
Having taken his leave, Lu Hanmo imdiately drove towards Fangting Town.
Luo Shu returned to her room, placed a talisman on the door, and then flashed into her space. She wanted to check on today’s harvest. Fearing the storage bag might carry the scent of the pale-faced middle-aged man, it was safer to open it inside the space.
Entering the space, Luo Shu took out the storage bag and spilled its contents. There were easily over a hundred spirit stones alone, along with so formation flags, elixirs, and herbs. It appeared that the pale-faced middle-aged man was not only an array master but also an alchemist.
Seeing the herbs, she was reminded of her grandmother, who insistently married her grandfather, causing her family to cripple her cultivation as punishnt. They also made her swear an oath never to pass the family’s cultivation techniques to the Divine Doctor Family, threatening to wipe them out if she did.
Due to her cultivation being crippled, grandmother’s damaged ridians had always been irreparable, even with the healing properties of the Spiritual Spring—unless they could find a Nine-Leaf Lotus Seed. However, the Nine-Leaf Lotus Seed was a thing of legends and practically impossible to find.
After organizing everything, Luo Shu set aside a share for Xiao Qing. Without needing her instructions, the creature would sense the spirit stones and co to take them.
Exiting the space, Luo Shu called Lu Hanmo’s base again, and this ti the call connected.
“Hello! Please get Lu Hanmo for .”
“You’re the Sister-in-Law, right? The instructor has gone out.”
“Then when he returns, have him call back.” Luo Shu had gotten used to Hanmo’s subordinates calling her Sister-in-Law by now, which no longer felt as awkward as it did initially.
“Will do, Sister-in-Law.”
“Thank you!” Luo Shu hung up the phone, thought for a while, then walked out the door. If her guess was right, Hanmo should be on his way to find her.
Lu Hanmo sped all the way and arrived at Luo Shu’s small town in less than an hour.
After getting out of the car, he imdiately ran towards Luo Shu’s ho. Shushu, you mustn’t let anything happen to you!
Hearing the knock at the door, Luo Shu went to open it, and upon seeing Lu Hanmo outside, a brilliant smile blood on her face. He indeed ca looking for her!
