Mo Zhu patted Xu Huan’s hand lightly. “I’ve already taken out the weapon on Huo Xuan’s shoulder. The bleeding has been successfully stopped. Mo Jiu is giving him acupuncture in the operating theater now. If he recovers well, he should be able to wake up tomorrow morning.”
As if recalling something important, Mo Zhu’s expression changed. “Did you and Huo Xuan get someone to look for the pill furnace I wanted last night?”
Although Xu Huan didn’t know why Mo Zhu was asking about pill furnaces at this moment, he still answered seriously, “Huo Xuan contacted a few people who collect pill furnaces this morning. A few furnaces have already been sent to the Huo residence.”
“Alright, you’ll return to the Huo family with me now. Mo Jiu and Huo Xuan are still in the operating theater. Get Mo Wu to take care of the situation here. Contact us if anything happens!”
After saying this, Mo Zhu quickly ran back to the ward and asked Uncle Zhang for the car keys. She also looked at Zhang Fen on the way. The old man was lying on the hospital bed peacefully receiving nutritional fluid transfusions. She instructed Uncle Zhang to help look after her grandmother. Mo Zhu did not stay any longer and quickly rushed to the Huo residence with Xu Huan.
After returning to the Huo family, there were indeed a few high quality pill furnaces in the living room. Mo Zhu chose a small furnace that looked a little old and walked straight to the kitchen speedily.
“Little Bamboo? You want to refine pills? Do you need my help?” Xu Huan followed closely behind the girl, his voice filled with enthusiasm.
“It’s alright. Help me guard the door. The medicine will be ready in a while. I’ll have to trouble you to send it over for Mo Jiu later.” Mo Zhu looked unhurried. Just as she finished speaking, she closed the kitchen door.
A rustling sound came from the kitchen, and soon after, there was another crackling noise. About an hour later, Mo Zhu walked out slowly with the small pill furnace.
After putting the pills from the furnace into a porcelain bottle that had been prepared beforehand, Mo Zhu raised her hand and handed it to Xu Huan. “There’s no time to lose. Hurry up and give this medicine to Mo Jiu. Ask him to give Huo Xuan a pill with some warm water.”
After a pause, Mo Zhu said worriedly, “Remind Mo Jiu that if Huo Xuan vomits blood while taking the medicine, remember to give him another pill!”
Nodding, Xu Huan took the porcelain bottle and held it tightly in his hand. He was about to go out when he came back. “Little Bamboo, aren’t you coming back to the hospital with me?”
Mo Zhu tidied up her slightly messy clothes and replied plainly, “I have something else that I have to deal with tonight. You go and watch over the situation at the hospital first. I’ll rush over to meet you after I’m done settling the matters on hand.”
Hearing that, Xu Huan didn’t say anything else. He only reminded Mo Zhu worriedly before leaving the Huo residence.
After Xu Huan left, Mo Zhu looked coldly at the moon hanging high in the sky outside the window. She took out her phone and called Feng Ke.
“Are you ready?” Mo Zhu’s tone suddenly carried a hint of impatience.
“Master, Master Long, everything is ready. Look…”
Before Feng Ke finished, Mo Zhu smiled and said, “Tell them to wait for me at the Du Family house’s entrance. I’ll deal with this matter myself tonight!”
At this moment, in the Du family.
Du Hong paced back and forth in the living room with a nervous expression. He just found out that Lin Lan and Du Wei had actually hidden the fact that they had found people from the Eighteen Cities to deal with Mo Zhu from him.
Although he could not understand why the two of them had spent so much effort and money to target a mere high school student, if they were using the Du family’s name to do something, Du Hong had to understand this matter clearly.
Originally, he was not worried that this matter would not be completed. Everyone in Cloud City knew how powerful the Eighteen Cities of the Serpent Dragon were. Not to mention taking the life of a high school student, even if they wanted to destroy a famous family, as long as it was a mission accepted by the Eighteen Cities, they had never failed once.
However, it was almost midnight now. Not only did the people from the Du Family whom he had sent to scout for information not return, but even the people from the Eighteen Cities who had negotiated with them could not be contacted.
Du Hong had never encountered such a situation in all his years in the business world. Now, he could not help but feel a hint of fear.
Before he could call the second group of people he sent out to ask about the situation, there was suddenly the sound of many cars honking outside the Du family’s residence.
“Who dares to behave atrociously at the Du Family’s entrance in the middle of the night!” Du Hong stood up abruptly and walked towards the door with a dark expression.
Just as the man arrived at the entrance, there was a sudden violent knock on the door. Du Hong opened the door of the mansion impatiently and a Du family bodyguard stumbled into the house with blood all over him.
Kneeling on the ground, the bodyguard said in fear, “Master, something bad has happened. Our entire villa has been surrounded. There are many enemies. I’m afraid it does not look good for us this time!”
He raised his hand and slapped the bodyguard. Du Hong stomped his feet in exasperation. “How is this possible! Who in Cloud City dares to surround my house like this?”
At this moment, Du Wei and Lin Lan were also woken up by the noise in the living room. Du Wei followed Lin Lan down the stairs. Du Wei glanced lazily out the window and froze in shock.
As if she was frightened by the dense crowd with ill intentions outside the window, Du Wei trembled and grabbed Lin Lan’s hand tightly.
