Chapter 91: Being Targeted
Huo Xuan looked at the Chinese dicine in front of him that didn’t look very good. He frowned and quickly picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp.
As expected, the taste of this dicine was identical to its color. It was so bad that it made Huo Xuan doubt his life.
“Not bad, Young Master Huo! These herbs are famous for being difficult to swallow. I didn’t expect you to finish the mixture of the herbs in one gulp. Impressive!” Mo Zhu patted Huo Xuan’s shoulder in praise of his actions.
Nodding in satisfaction, Mo Zhu picked the bowl up and returned to the kitchen.
At this mont, the residual dicinal dregs had already been poured into the wok on the stove by Mo Zhu. And not long later, dicinal dregs were dried by the hot air.
After pouring the dregs into an empty bowl, Mo Zhu carried the bowl to the kitchen and placed it on the dining table.
“Little Bamboo, this is?” Xu Huan took two steps forward and touched the dregs. Clearly, he was curious about Mo Zhu’s actions.
After settling down, Mo Zhu casually found a chair and sat down to rest. “These are the residue of the dicine that was just boiled. However, don’t look down on these dregs. The herbal fragrance it emits is a priceless treasure.”
Xu Huan gained a lot of knowledge hearing what Mo Zhu ntioned.
Mo Zhu turned around and looked at Huo Xuan, who was sitting on the sofa nonchalantly, as she explained indifferently.
“The previous acupuncture treatnt controlled the spread of the poison in your body. Together with the dicine that you had taken and the pill you took, it can eliminate a portion of the poison in your body. As for how much of the poison there is left and how many subsequent complications there are, that’s unknown. Therefore, try your best not to leave for a long period of ti, in case any unpredictable danger occurs.”
The girl’s expression was serious and grave. Huo Xuan also raised his head to look at her seriously. “Alright, I don’t know much about this aspect, I’ll listen to you. However, the pill you ntioned? Is it the De-condensation Pill from last ti?”
Mo Zhu touched her chin and shook her head. “No, that won’t be of much use to get rid of the poison in you. You need to prepare a few high quality pill furnaces for . I’ll start refining pills for you tomorrow.”
“Pill refinent? Little Bamboo, you still say that you’re not amazing! I’ve only seen this pill refinent technique in novels and television dramas. I didn’t expect an expert to be hiding by my side.” Xu Huan’s eyes widened in shock with an expression of disbelief.
“What’s so amazing about that? There’s always soone better out there. There are many things that you don’t know. When you need them soday, I’ll help you refine a few more.” Mo Zhu teased with a smile.
Waving his hand, Xu Huan said in fear, “Forget it, Little Bamboo. Don’t curse to fall sick. I’ve hated injections and dicine the most since I was young!”
As if she had thought of sothing troubleso, Mo Zhu frowned. “I will be refining pills for the next few days. It’s not convenient for Fang Ran to be here, she…”
Before she could finish, Huo Xuan had already thought of this problem. He looked up at the girl and interrupted Mo Zhu, “I’ll call the Fang family later and ask them to bring this daughter of theirs back.”
“But regarding my grandma…” Mo Zhu was still a little worried.
“I will warn the Fang family. If your grandmother finds out about this, the consequences would be sothing they can’t bear,” Huo Xuan said coldly, his voice tinged with coldness.
“Okay, let’s do that then.”
The next morning, Mo Zhu woke up really early and washed up. After breakfast, Huo Xuan sent her to school.
In the car, she saw that both Huo Xuan and Xu Huan had very grave expressions. Although Mo Zhu didn’t know what had happened, she still held back her curiosity and didn’t ask. With her sharp senses, Mo Zhu thought that there was a high possibility that sothing had happened to their business.
The second lesson of Jingyang High School in the morning was physical education. For the Year Three students, they had free ti during that period. Once the bell rang, Mo Zhu looked up from the desk and prepared to leave the classroom to take a breather.
Unexpectedly, before she could get up from the table, Jiang Xun nervously pulled out a stool and sat beside Mo Zhu, instantly blocking the girl’s way out.
“What’s up?” Mo Zhu took out her cap from her backpack and put it on, looking like she was about to leave.
“Sister Mo! Sothing big has happened! Quickly sit down and listen to !” Jiang Xun looked around with a mysterious expression for quite so ti before he pulled on Mo Zhu’s sleeve and continued.
“Sister Mo, my father called just now and said that soone in the industry was investigating you. The person is probably going to take action on you in the next two days. He can’t help you solve this matter, so he inford to inform you about it first so that you can be ntally prepared.”
Mo Zhu’s fingers tapped the table lightly, her eyes lowered. “In the industry? Which industry?”
When he saw the girl was neither anxious nor impatient, Jiang Xun sighed lightly. “Sister Mo, have you heard of the Eighteen Cities of the Serpent Dragon?”
Mo Zhu’s face was cold as she curled her lips into a smile and said, “Yes, I’ve heard a little about it. Why? Did the other party ask them to deal with ?”
The Eighteen Cities of the Serpent Dragon was an underground organization of the eighteen cities in the south. They relied on boxing arenas to make a na for themselves. Currently, the underground industries that filled the city involved real estate betting arenas and various entertainnt venues. As for Cloud City, it was one of the Eighteen Cities.
The influential families in these southern cities were very afraid of this organization because their power was really too great. They were afraid that they would not be able to bear the consequences if they angered these people.
