Xu Huan put down his chopsticks and propped his chin on his hand as he pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he patted his head. “So Black Tiger is still at Golden Sands Beach. He had just found a place that’s not easy for us to search and hid there!”
Huo Xuan nodded. “You’re not too stupid.”
As the two of them spoke, Mo Zhu didn’t interrupt. When she heard that Huo Xuan and Xu Huan had already analyzed Black Tiger’s whereabouts relatively accurately, she frowned and started to worry for Black Tiger.
In the beginning, Mo Zhu didn’t expect Black Tiger to offend Huo Xuan. Although she hadn’t known Huo Xuan for long, based on her current understanding of this man, Huo Xuan wasn’t as simple as he looked. She was certain that he had other forces hidden in the dark, and he had more than one of them.
After Huo Xuan and Xu Huan finished speaking, he kept his phone in his pocket. From the corner of his eye, he saw Mo Zhu frowning slightly with her head lowered in deep thought. He turned to look at the girl and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
When Mo Zhu heard this, she calmly retracted her gaze and said nonchalantly, “It’s alright, I was in a daze for a while.”
Huo Xuan stood up and scooped another bowl of sweet porridge for Mo Zhu. He gently placed the bowl in front of her and touched the girl’s soft hair. “Have more porridge. It’s good for your stomach.”
“Okay.” Mo Zhu did not say anything else. After nodding, she picked up the spoon and started to eat the porridge slowly.
A few minutes later, Xu Huan seemed to have recalled something. He raised his eyes to look at Mo Zhu before turning to look at Huo Xuan. He straightened his expression and said, “Brother Huo, there’s definite news about the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb that you asked me to inquire about. The Gao family has released word that the auction will officially start the day after tomorrow.”
Finally, they reached the topic that Mo Zhu was interested in. She looked up at Xu Huan and asked seriously, “Do you know which families are participating in the auction? What’s the approximate price range?”
Xu Huan shook his head and said in a low voice, “I can’t find out anything about that. The Gao family has sealed the news too tightly. Unless the auction starts, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find out anything else useful.”
This auction was organized by the Gao family very formally. Apart from the time, there was almost no other concrete news that could be found. However, as the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb was a rare herb, there were definitely many families who coveted it. In addition, the capital was currently filled with many hidden dangers, and many things were unknown.
With so many families fighting for it openly and covertly, the price of this Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb definitely would not be low. Mo Zhu frowned without batting an eyelid, and it seemed that she had already started preparing to raise money.
Knowing what Mo Zhu was worried about, Huo Xuan reached out and held the girl’s hand. He comforted her softly, “Don’t worry about the money. I’ll do my best to bid for whatever you want the day after tomorrow. The Huo family’s money is your money.”
“You trust me so much? You’ll lend me money unconditionally?” Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows and looked at Huo Xuan.
“Then, why don’t I think of the conditions and ask you to fulfill them after I’ve thought it through?” The man’s tone was filled with doting love. After being teased by Huo Xuan, Mo Zhu’s originally nervous mood instantly relaxed.
Now that everything was ready till the actual event took place, she was determined to obtain the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb at the auction the day after tomorrow!
Seeing that the two of them had reached a consensus, Xu Huan pursed his lips angrily. He knew that he had been secretly and constantly fed with public displays of affection when he was with these two people. At this moment, he hadn’t even eaten much but he was already feeling a little stuffed.
After dinner, Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu took Xu Huan’s car back together. Mo Zhu sat in the back seat and took out her phone to locate Black Tiger before sending him a message.
[The group of people chasing you are still waiting for you at Golden Sands Beach. You have to be careful when dealing with them.]
The other party replied very quickly. Not long later, a new message alert appeared on her phone screen.
[Who did I offend that is able to crack the location you set up? How are those people so powerful! Can you find out which organization they are from?]
Mo Zhu stared at her phone screen quietly for two minutes before she raised her hand and slowly typed a line of words.
[I can’t find out about this. You’re on your own..]
