Upon hearing Mo Wu’s words and looking at Xu Huan’s furious expression, Mo Zhu smiled and handed the bottle of medicine in her hand to Mo Wu. She took out an identical bottle of pills from her pocket and said, “If you transfer the money now, I have another bottle for you.”
Seeing Mo Zhu take out another bottle of pills from her pocket, Xu Huan was afraid that the girl would suddenly go back on her word and not sell it to him. He quickly operated his phone and neatly transferred the money to Mo Zhu before taking the bottle from her hand.
After pouring out a pill from a small bottle and taking it, Xu Huan heaved a long sigh of relief. He looked up at Mo Zhu and said, “Fortunately, I have you, Little Bamboo. If you hadn’t come here to help me when I was dying, I’m afraid Mo Wu and I would have been in danger!”
After saying this, he paused for a few seconds. The scene where Mo Zhu asked him for money flashed across his mind. Xu Huan frowned and looked up at Mo Zhu. “Little Bamboo, have you been short of money recently? I remember that the last time you gave me pills, it was free. Why did you change your mind this time and start taking my money?”
When Mo Zhu heard this, she raised her eyebrows as if nothing had happened and replied, “I’m a little short of money, but the medicine I gave you is of high quality. Not to mention how many expensive herbs were refined in it, just based on my alchemy skills, there aren’t many people in the world who can refine pills to my level of perfection!”
Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Xu Huan pursed his lips and lowered his head. “Little Bamboo, you’ve really misunderstood me. I don’t mean to complain that the price you offered is expensive. I just want to ask if you’re short of money to spend. If you don’t have enough money, I can find some jobs for you. After all, your medical skills are so superb. If you take on a few jobs in Beijing, won’t the money come as you please?”
Mo Zhu shook her head and stood in front of the sofa with her arms crossed. She frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before replying in a low voice, “Recently, Beijing has been in chaos. Those people who are hiding in the dark might be ready to take action. I should hide my medical skills as much as possible. The earlier I’m exposed, the more danger I will be in!”
During this period of time, some abnormal things had happened in Beijing one after another. Everyone had been investigating for so long, but they still had no clue. It was enough to show that the person controlling everything was hiding very deeply. At such a critical moment, they had to keep a low profile. If necessary, they could rely on her superb medical skills to save their lives!
Following Mo Zhu’s words, Xu Huan also felt that her analysis was very accurate. He nodded seriously and changed his mind. “In that case, I still have a lot of funds that I transferred into my personal account previously. If you need money urgently, you can come and get it from me anytime!”
After their short conversation, a sudden ringtone sounded from Mo Zhu’s pocket.
She took out her phone and looked at the caller ID indifferently. After seeing that it was a call from Chen Man, Mo Zhu swiped the answer button and asked politely, “Auntie, why are you calling me so late at night? Is there something important?”
When Chen Man heard Mo Zhu pick up the phone, she immediately said in a worried tone, “Xiao Zhu, is everything alright at the small mansion tonight? Did anything special happen?”
Upon hearing Chen Man’s question, Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows with interest and replied in a low voice, “Auntie, Huo Xuan and I went out just now. We’re not in the small mansion now.”
After saying this, Mo Zhu paused and added, “Auntie, we’re all family. You don’t have to worry too much. If you have anything to say, just say it!”
Upon hearing that Mo Zhu and Huo Xuan weren’t in the small mansion, Chen Man heaved a sigh of relief and explained, “Xiao Zhu, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but the situation is a little complicated. You and Xuan’er should come to the old mansion personally to take a look. Don’t go back and forth tonight. Just stay here for the night!”
