"What do you mean ’his hands and feet are a bit eyesore’? What on earth does this girl want to do? Why are children nowadays so terrifying?"
"What exactly do you want to do?"
The man asked this question again with difficulty.
Bai Zhi had grown tired of hearing it and vigorously rubbed her ears.
"Can’t you change it up a bit? There will be things you can’t do, like you won’t be able to run or eat. Truly pitiful..."
When Bai Zhi said this, there wasn’t a hint of pity on her face. Instead, she wore an eager smile.
What to do? Threatening people seemed to be addictive.
Bai Zhi remembered someone who had been scared to the point of wetting themselves.
"You better not wet yourself now."
The man: "..." He was an elder, how could he possibly be scared?
"Then, I’ll start now..."
Just as Bai Zhi’s Golden Needle was about to approach the man’s foot, he spoke up.
"It was he who approached us, he who sought cooperation with us, claiming he could help us collect herbs..."
At first, it was Mu Yi who came knocking, claiming he had good herbs. They checked and found them satisfactory, and thus began a partnership...
He also said the place where he collected the herbs was secret, hence this secret chamber.
So, he came, and in this secret chamber, he began his experiments, and finally, recently, he developed this dosage and produced cold medicine pills.
They sold well, and once distributed around the country, they were very popular.
But they wouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket. This was just one of them...
It had to be said, the herbs he provided were indeed top-notch. That’s why the partnership continued to this day.
Bai Zhi yanked off the masked man’s mask in one swift motion; the man looked quite young.
He was only in his forties, yet he was already an elder.
Was the Ou Family lacking people? Elders should be in their fifties or sixties.
But Moh Li’s pupils shrank when he saw this face and immediately turned around.
Bai Zhi almost instantly noticed something wrong with Moh Li.
She struck the man’s head with a chop, and he passed out at once.
Only then did Bai Zhi pull Moh Li away and shut the door...
"What’s wrong with you?"
Moh Li was not right, very wrong indeed; at this moment, he seemed to be hit by something enormous, his entire body was shaking, his eyes filled with red blood vessels, his fists clenched tight, and veins bulging...
Moh Li was on the edge of a furious rage as if he was a tightly strung thread that might snap at the slightest mishap.
Bai Zhi extended her hand and took hold of Moh Li’s.
Her hand was small and soft, while Moh Li’s had calluses from the recent overwork, so his hands were no longer delicate.
But Bai Zhi’s hands were different, they were soft. As Moh Li was being hit by a wave of immense anger, feeling like his whole being was living in a lie, he felt his hand being grasped.
He looked down to see Bai Zhi holding his hand, quietly standing beside him, not speaking a word, looking incredibly obedient, not at all like the fierce Bai Zhi.
At this moment, he suddenly laughed.
What was he doing? Hadn’t he known all along that he was fighting alone? Moreover, now there was Bai Zhi, too.
Even if they needed to fight their own battles, he was not alone.
"I’m fine now, just saw through someone."
That person, that elder who kept showing up at the Ou Family, was the same housekeeper who had desperately urged him to run away.
Isn’t it ironic? The housekeeper who told him to find his grandfather because he was the closest kin.
The same housekeeper who had been captured for seeking revenge for his grandfather.
