Lu Xia hastily looked at Lu Hongwen the moment she heard this. “Dad, what do you mean?”
Lu Hongwen parted his lips. “I heard about this from your mother. Otherwise, I would never have known how capable she is.”
Lu Xia was at a loss and did not quite understand what he was driving at.
Lu Hongwen thought about it briefly and finally decided not to withhold the truth. He told Lu Xia about the result of his investigation and the conclusion that he came up with.
“Huh? Dad, are you mistaken?” Lu Xia was in disbelief.
How could Huo Yao be connected to Fang Chen? If memory served her right, Fang Chen died at a young age owing to some strange illness in her past life.
It was all over the news.
Lu Hongwen shook her head. “Impossible. I trust my source.”
Just to be sure, he even got the investigator to double-check and had confirmed that she even visited Fang Chen’s place before.
Lu Xia looked at the confidence on her father’s face. Despite sensing something to be amiss, she quickly changed her mind. Being reborn was already out of this world, so it seemed to make sense if things were quite different from her past life.
Lu Xia stopped disagreeing. If she could use this information to control Huo Yao or perhaps even destroy her, she could seek her vengeance against Huo Yao!
After all, she genuinely hated Huo Yao.

Huo Yao had been busy examining and treating Huo Yulin lately. She could not use acupuncture on him on a long-term basis, so she was researching for some oral medicine that could help improve his condition.
Since Fang Chen’s mother had accidentally led her to reveal her medical skills, she did not have to go on acting any longer.
The Huo residence was massive and had plenty of rooms, so she used an empty room for preparing medicine.
On Saturday morning, Huo Yao’s phone rang a few times.
Don’t Steal My Lingzhi: [Dude, I have already sent the stuff you need to the address that you gave me. It ought to arrive today.]
Don’t Steal My Lingzhi: [Is that where you are living currently?]
Don’t Steal My Lingzhi: [(sinister smile JPG.)]
After Huo Yao came back from her run and took a shower, she heard the phone ping. She walked over and picked it up.
She read the text before she typed on the screen unhurriedly: [Do you have nothing better to do?]
Meanwhile, a young woman could not help sensing a murderous air radiating from the text message when she saw it.
She replied sheepishly: [Hehe. I was just curious.]
Medicine Pill: [Stop being curious]
Don’t Steal My Lingzhi: [I won’t tell anyone where you live.]
Fu Ya could not help sighing after replying to the text message. Sure enough, talented people had a bad temper. After Medicine Pill stopped texting her, she put her phone away.
Someone knocked on a door outside. Fu Ya stood up from the chair, walked to the door to see the person standing outside and her expression promptly turned cold.
“It is almost time for the apothecaries’ exam. Why aren’t you working on prescriptions? Why are you in your room playing video games? Don’t you care about the exam?”
Fu Ya looked impatient. “It is none of your business.” She slammed the door shut with a thud the moment she finished her sentence.
Fu Cheng almost got struck on the nose by the door, and his face turned livid. He did not like this cousin of his. If she did not possess the prescription, he would have driven her out of the family ages ago.
She would never have had the chance to speak so arrogantly to him.

Shortly after Huo Yao received the text messages from ‘Don’t Steal My Lingzhi’, the courier arrived.
