After a pause, Xu Huan added coldly, “That morning, after giving the medicine to other patients who needed it, the rest of the special medicine was stolen. According to the staff on duty at that time, no one entered the pharmacy that day. Besides that, I’ve seen the surveillance video of the hospital too. There’s nothing abnormal. I suspect that someone had tampered with it.”
Huo Xuan quietly listened to Xu Huan before raising his hand to pinch his glabella. He asked, “Do you have any clues from the research institute?”
Xu Huan frowned and slowly sat up straight before continuing, “The research institute’s medicine was taken away by a mysterious person of unknown origin. The person who was sent to investigate said that the entire research institute knew that he had taken it, but no one said who it was. This matter sounds a little tricky.”
“Brother Huo, through the investigations over the past two days, our people have discovered that there was more than one force that attacked Cloud City that day. I’m afraid there are also many people hiding in the shadows. I suspect that those people already knew Little Bamboo’s identity, so they spent a lot of effort to test her ability.”
When Huo Xuan heard this, his fingers rested on his crossed thighs as if nothing had happened. His fingers tapped his knees lightly. A moment later, he raised his eyes and instructed coldly, “Pass down my orders. Ask the Dark Department to temporarily put aside the missions they have on hand. All of you are to mobilize and delve deep into Cloud City’s capital and the neighboring cities. Pay close attention to the movements of the various families in Beijing, especially the Zhang family. If there’s any news, you have to inform me immediately!”
Knowing the severity of this matter, Xu Huan did not have any objections and immediately nodded.
After a while, he seemed to have recalled something and Xu Huan looked at Huo Xuan in confusion. “Brother Huo, why are we paying special attention to the Zhang family? Although Grandma Zhang has the Zhang family’s legitimate bloodline, she has already passed away. What has this got to do with Little Bamboo?”
Huo Xuan picked up the tea that was already a little cold from the coffee table and took a sip. “Although Grandma Zhang has passed away, the person she cared about the most when she was alive is still here. Although she has brought those unknown secrets underground, the people who are coveting her might not think so. They will definitely turn their attention to Mo Zhu.”
“You mean? They’ll target Little Bamboo?” Xu Huan frowned tightly, and he instantly noticed that something was wrong.
Huo Xuan raised his eyebrows lightly. “That’s right. Grandma Zhang is already useless to them, but Mo Zhu is indeed a descendant of the Zhang family. With the Zhang family’s influence in Beijing, it’s not difficult to find out her identity and abilities. Even if they only have a little understanding of her, Mo Zhu can’t hide her medical skills.”
Xu Huan scratched his head and asked, “Will the Zhang family take action on Little Bamboo?”
After a moment of silence, Huo Xuan said coldly, “The Zhang family shouldn’t be only targeting Xiao Zhu. They want to take down the entire capital.”
After a pause, seeing that Xu Huan’s eyes had already widened in shock, Huo Xuan continued, “Do you still remember that many years ago, more than ten small villages near Beijing suffered a terrorist attack overnight?”
When Xu Huan heard this, he also recalled this matter. He immediately slammed the sofa in anger. “I remember. Back then, when the matter was reported, I happened to pass by the place where the police were collecting evidence. That group of people was really cruel. They didn’t even let the old and children off. Not many people in the villages were left alive. What’s more detestable is that after they killed the people, they burned the place down. It’s too cruel, too cruel!”
This matter had left a deep impression on Xu Huan. Although he was young at that time, seeing the corpses and broken limbs all over the ground with his own eyes still caused him to suffer for a few days.. Furthermore, he had firmly remembered this matter from then on.
