BXBX NOVEL Chapter 176 - 176: Uninvited Guest
“It’s not that it’s useless. It’s the opposite. As soon as 1 entered, I felt that something was wrong. The smell in your house made me dizzy.”
Luo Chen smiled bitterly. Seeing that Wang Hu had accepted this explanation without any doubt, he must have suspected something himself.
After all, it had been so long. If the medicine was useful, his daughter’s illness would not become worse.
“But… I’ve also brought her to other hospitals for a checkup, but we can’t even find out the cause of the illness. They just said that she’s a little anemic. How is that possible…”
Wang Hu stared at the black bag of medicine and muttered.
“What’s impossible? These things are not poisonous to begin with. It’s because their medicinal properties counter each other that your daughter’s Qi and blood are becoming weaker and weaker. Won’t she then show signs of anemia?”
“If the anemia is serious, it can be fatal.”
Luo Chen threw the herbs back and dusted his hands in disdain.
Not to mention anything else, the smell was really unpleasant.
It was unknown how many ingredients had been added. To be able to restrain the medicinal properties to such an extent, it was really extraordinary.
BANG!
Wang Hu punched the wall!
The commotion was so loud that it shocked Luo Chen.
On a closer look, terrifying cracks had already appeared on the door frame because of Wang Hu’s powerful punch!
“You must have a lot of enemies, right?”
Luo Chen asked lightly.
After all, with Wang Hu’s work nature, it was normal for him to have some enemies.
And this fashion of fragmented and sinister method was probably only something that a mortal enemy could do.
“No enemies.”
Wang Hu clenched his fists until they creaked, and a trace of hatred flashed across his eyes.
“No enemies?”
Luo Chen was stunned.
This person didn’t look like someone without any enemies!
“They were all killed by me. 1 have no enemies, only mission targets.”
Wang Hu said coldly.
As soon as his aura darkened, there was indeed an unbearable pressure, as if he would die in his hands in the next second.
When Luo Chen heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.
It had to be said that such an analysis made sense.
If you killed all your enemies, there would be no more enemies.
“Then… do you have a target?”
Luo Chen asked.
At this moment, the girl’s breathing became heavier and she finally opened her eyes.
When she saw an unfamiliar man at home, she showed a little panic.
However, when she saw Wang Hu standing at the door, she slowly relaxed.
“Daddy.”
When she spoke, her voice was sweet and crisp. It was completely different from her appearance when she was sleeping on the bed.
When her eyes were closed, she looked delicate and quiet, but the moment she opened her big watery eyes, she looked more lively.
Luo Chen also realized that when she sat up, the ferocious blood vessels exposed at her collar had all disappeared.
Although one could still vaguely see light green blood vessels through her fair skin, this situation was normal. Usually, people with fairer skin had such see-through blood vessels.
He assumed that for Wang Hu, since his daughter was already so old and they were not related by blood, even if Wang Hu really treated her as the apple of his eye, he had to avoid too much physical contact. He wouldn’t lift the blanket when she was asleep, right?
“You’re awake? Do you want to eat something?”
Even Wang Hu’s tone instantly softened. Although it still couldn’t hide the cold anger in his heart, at least when facing his daughter, he was already forcefully suppressing himself.
“Sure.”
The girl smiled and nodded.
Wang Hu gave Luo Chen a look.
Luo Chen followed him out of the bedroom. When he went out, he closed the door.
The house Wang Hu rented was very big. It was at least 200 square meters and was beautifully decorated.
The kitchen was on the other side of the girl’s bedroom and was the furthest away. It seemed that it was to ensure that even if he cooked, he would not cause any commotion and wake up the sleeping girl.
Wang Hu had really done everything he could.
“She can’t walk anymore. Actually, when the weather was good a while ago, she could still slowly walk to the door to bask in the sun… She’s only 20 years old.”
Wang Hu cooked skillfully and was quiet for a long time before saying this.
“Have you thought about who might have changed her prescription? I think it shouldn’t be the doctor. After all, once this move is exposed, he won’t even have a place to run.
Moreover, if they do such a thing, they will definitely have to change places. How can it last for so long?”
Luo Chen sat casually on the chair beside him and said thoughtfully.
At first, his first reaction was that there was a problem with the doctor, but on careful thought, it shouldn’t be possible.
The doctor was clearly courting death by doing this. The hospital couldn’t run away. If Wang Hu found out about this, he would definitely not let the matter rest.
“There’s no one else.”
Wang Hu temporarily put down the spatula in his hand and turned around.
“Forget it, then. The most important thing now is to treat your daughter’s illness. If you still need to go there to get medicine in the future, you can call me along to see what’s wrong.”
Luo Chen quickly thought of a solution.
Wang Hu didn’t know those herbs, but he knew them.
If there was a problem with the medicine from the beginning, the person who issued the medicine might be an insider sent over.
But if the prescription had been replaced…
Perhaps the doctor would not be able to escape responsibility.
“Sure. Who do you need me to help you kill?”
Wang Hu nodded and asked casually.
His tone was as if he was talking about what to eat for dinner.
Luo Chen was stunned. After digesting what Wang Hu meant, the corners of his mouth twitched.
“You don’t have to do anything. Let’s talk about the payment after everything is resolved and your daughter recovers.”
Luo Chen waved his hand and said casually.
After all, what he wanted was not for Wang Hu to help him kill anyone, but for this person’s loyalty. Otherwise, the mission would be impossible to complete.
However, he was still not sure what level of loyalty the System meant.
Will this mission be completed when Wang Hu agrees to join his company, or would it be when he achieved true “loyalty”?
If it was the latter, it would probably be very troublesome.
Someone like Wang Hu was more guarded than anyone else. It was easier said than done to ask for his loyalty.
“Alright.”
Wang Hu agreed and did not say anything else. He turned around and continued cooking for his daughter.
While the girl was eating, Luo Chen asked Wang Hu to find all the remaining herbs at home and prepared to check if there was a problem with all the herbs.
Just as the two of them were sitting on the sofa in the living room and preparing to eat…
There was suddenly a knock on the door..
