Chapter 375: It’s Time to Close the Net
A person is like a teapot. The soul is the tea, and the body is the pot! If the pot has a small problem, it can be repaired and still used. However, when it is damaged to a certain extent, it cannot be repaired, and the tea will naturally flow out, which means that a person’s life is coming to an end. Old Ancestor Liu is in this situation! And this medicine can forcibly lock her Life Soul within the damaged body. You can imagine how magical it is!
Therefore, Qi Huang can be 100% sure that the person selling this medicine is not an ordinary doctor. Because of this, she only monitored him with her Spiritual Sense for a moment before switching to the Recording Mirror, the purpose of which was to avoid alarming the snake while it was still in its lair.
Qi Huang walked and stopped, holding the mirror, constantly observing Liu Biao’s every move. Fortunately, she was a little girl now, so she didn’t seem too strange.
Liu Biao was very cautious, also walking and stopping on the street, sometimes buying daily necessities, sometimes buying funeral items. These were clearly means to paralyze people. If people who didn’t know the inside story saw this, they would definitely give up tracking.
Liu Biao wandered the streets like this. Although the items in his packages gradually increased, he did not buy any medicine, as if he had completely forgotten about it.
Qi Huang gradually became impatient, but at this moment, the other party finally entered a medical clinic.
Qi Huang quickly cheered up. Liu Biao also introduced Old Ancestor Liu’s situation to the doctor and then got the prescription.
“This isn’t right!”
Qi Huang was not complacent because of this. Even if she used her knees to think, she knew that such medicine could not be bought at a “roadside stall.” Moreover, the doctor in this medical clinic used very ordinary medicine. Even an Immortal could not turn dross into treasure!
Qi Huang could not figure it out, but Liu Biao actually returned home. Because there were too many items, he even hired a horse-drawn carriage to help transport them.
“What does this mean? Could the doctor in that small clinic really turn dross into treasure?”
Qi Huang could not figure it out, so she continued to observe stubbornly, determined to find out the reason.
After Liu Biao returned home, he did not stop in the main hall but directly carried those items into the bedroom.
Qi Huang, being local, felt something was wrong, so she quickly heightened her senses. What happened next once again proved that her intuition was very accurate.
“Master, did you get the things?”
Madam Shen hurriedly inquired.
“Naturally.”
Liu Biao panted, then took out a package from the large pile of items and opened it. A small bag of medicine wrapped in cowhide paper was revealed.
‘As expected!’
Qi Huang sneered coldly, because this medicine was not the same as the few bags Liu Biao had gotten from the clinic.
“Were you not followed?”
Madam Shen inquired with some unease.
“Are you still not at ease with how I do things? Besides, even if someone was following me, she wouldn’t know where I got this medicine.”
Liu Biao showed a slight smugness.
“How dare you mock this Immortal Fairy!”
Qi Huang was furious. She recalled carefully and couldn’t really remember the origin of this package. After all, that old fellow had wandered around the street for most of the day, buying a lot of things, and finally hired someone to help carry them back.
“It’s a joke. Can this be difficult for this Immortal Fairy?”
Qi Huang sneered, then began to operate the Recording Mirror. In less than a quarter of an hour, she had figured out the origin of the package.
In the Recording Mirror, Liu Biao entered a Security Agency and then negotiated with the Bodyguards inside.
“Head Guard Dong, my goods should have arrived, right?”
Liu Biao inquired.
“Naturally. Whose goods dare to be delayed, Second Master Liu?”
Head Guard Dong spoke politely, then asked a bodyguard to bring out the package.
“Master Liu, forgive my presumption, but may I ask what you are picking up?”
Head Guard Dong suddenly inquired.
“Head Guard Dong, do I need to teach you the rules of the Security Agency?”
Second Master Liu retorted with a cold smile.
“Second Master Liu misunderstood. Business is business, and friendship is friendship. This is purely out of concern between friends. You don’t know, the world is difficult now, and when men go to serve in the army, our Security Agency has fewer and fewer people. The escort fee naturally increases, especially for long-distance escorts. I’m afraid it’s not worth sending things to you!”
Head Guard Dong quickly explained.
“You don’t need to worry about that. Don’t you know my identity? Not a penny will be shortchanged.”
Liu Biao said impatiently.
“I naturally know your identity, but I don’t know the identity of the employer, after all, he is the one paying, not you.”
Head Guard Dong said cautiously.
“You talk too much. When he can no longer afford it, just tell me,”
Liu Biao berated.
“That’s good! That’s good!”
Head Guard Dong nodded obsequiously.
Liu Biao snorted coldly and then walked out of the Security Agency with the package.
“Why was it picked up from a Security Agency?”
Qi Huang was dumbfounded. The development of the matter had clearly exceeded her expectations. If the person who sent the medicine was too far away, how would she have so much time to investigate?
Qi Huang was helpless, then aimed the Recording Mirror at Liu Biao’s house again, trying to find other solutions.
At this moment, the Liu Biao couple continued their conversation.
“Master, I think after Big Brother’s funeral tomorrow, you should immediately bring up the matter of a beneficial marriage.”
Madam Shen made a suggestion.
“I think so too. After all, the longer the night, the more dreams. Once people know the origin of this medicine, I’m afraid it won’t be a matter of benefit, but how to keep the position of Clan Leader.”
Liu Biao also nodded in agreement.
‘Hurry up! I’ll be able to go back to growing vegetables after I’m done with you.’
Qi Huang thought to herself.
“Master, you are already the Clan Leader. After the beneficial marriage, Old Ancestor will have no value. To be safe, find an excuse to stop the medicine and don’t go to get it anymore. The risk is too great.”
Madam Shen said after some thought.
“Why would she have no value? As long as Old Ancestor is alive, that woman will continue to send medicine. You should understand how precious this medicine is. As long as a little bit is left each time, it is enough to sell at a high price. This is why I didn’t kill her along with him back then, as you know.”
Liu Biao explained.
“I naturally understand, but the risk is too great.”
Madam Shen showed a look of struggle on her face.
“As the saying goes, ‘the bold eat well, the timid starve to death.’ If you are always hesitant, how can you achieve great things?”
Liu Biao was lecturing while opening the small bag of medicine and then taking out a third of it to pocket.
‘So the medicine was sent to Old Ancestor Liu by someone on purpose!’
Another doubt in Qi Huang’s mind was resolved. She had always wondered why Liu Biao, having killed his elder brother, didn’t get rid of Old Ancestor as well. Wouldn’t that be easier? It turned out to be insatiable greed. He wanted a beneficial marriage and also wanted that woman to continue sending him medicine.
‘Who sent the medicine to him? What a sucker.’
Qi Huang felt a little sympathetic, but then a relaxed smile appeared on her face. If the medicine was specifically sent to Old Ancestor Liu by that person, then she didn’t need to investigate further. She could directly deal with Liu Biao, this scourge, because he was no longer important whether he was there or not.
In the evening, Qi Huang called Liu Yingyue and then went to see Old Ancestor Liu together. She explained the results of her investigation and presented the footage recorded by the Recording Mirror as evidence.
“Second Uncle is truly not human. He actually used the medicine sent to you by someone else to blackmail you and even embezzled part of it.”
Liu Yingyue immediately cursed furiously, disregarding her image.
“Old Ancestor Liu has such descendants, and I also have a responsibility.”
Madam Shen sighed sadly, then said, “I just don’t understand why someone would send me medicine for no reason?”
“I don’t know about that. They didn’t reveal that person’s identity. If you want to know, you can send someone to investigate. Anyway, judging by what Liu Biao said, as long as you are alive, that person will keep sending medicine. You can send someone to the Security Agency to pick it up, so there’s no rush.”
Qi Huang explained.
“How can there be no rush? This old woman doesn’t have many days left, so I must find out as soon as possible. I don’t like owing favors to others for no reason.”
Madam Shen said firmly.
“Since the origin of the medicine has been figured out, you won’t insist on marrying Sister Yue’er out anymore, right?”
Qi Huang probed.
“Naturally. As long as I’m here, no one can force her.”
Madam Shen replied without hesitation.
‘Very good! It’s time to close the net.’
The corners of Qi Huang’s mouth curved slightly.
…
The next day, Old Master Liu’s funeral was held, and everything went smoothly. After the outsiders left, the house became a little quieter.
Liu Biao, that old fellow, couldn’t wait. He immediately used his status as Clan Leader to keep most of the elders of the Liu Clan behind, preparing to make a big move.
Most people in the Liu Family were unaware, so they looked at each other in confusion.
Qi Huang naturally knew very well that this fellow was eager to marry off Liu Yingyue.
