"She only fainted, I didn't do anything. "First published on the 12th," Zhuo Bufan said with a frown.
Qiu Jinse laughed, "I didn't ask you to explain to me, but the Ice Congealing Grass in your hand is useless!"
Zhuo Bufan sighed, the Ice Congealing Grass in his hand was indeed useless. The Ice Congealing Grass took a long time to grow, and its effects could only be maintained for less than a week. After this time, the Ice Congealing Grass would lose its effects.
He originally wanted to use the Ice Congealing Grass to supplement the fire-type Demonic Core and practice the Fire Eyes supernatural power, but it seemed like his plan was ruined.
"How do you know about this grass?" Zhuo Bufan stared at Qiu Jinse with a sharp gaze.
Ordinary people wouldn't even know the name of this grass, because it had no medicinal value, and it was very rare, even the Compendium of Materia Medica didn't have any records.
"Because … because I can help you find the Ice Congealing Grass, but you have to promise to come home with me for dinner." Qiu Jinse blinked his eyes, a hint of slyness flashed across his eyes.
"Can you really find the Ice Congealing Grass?" Zhuo Bufan asked doubtfully.
Qiu Jinse clapped his hands and stood up, the corner of his beautiful lips slightly raised, "Of course I can find it, if I lie to you, how about you let me gain 40kg? Although the Ice Congealing Grass is rare, it is very useful to some martial artists. With my family's connections, it's not impossible to get a few stalks of Ice Congealing Grass. "
Zhuo Bufan had long guessed that Qiu Jinse's family situation was not ordinary, and he even knew about the existence of martial artists.
He wanted to know why Qiu Jinse wanted to get close to him, so he nodded and said, "If you can really help me find three stalks of Ice Congealing Grass, I can accompany you home for dinner."
"A gentleman never goes back on his word." Qiu Jinse smiled, then looked at Chu Lingding and said, "It seems like I can't be the third wheel today. I'll be leaving first. Take her to have a good rest." Qiu Jinse emphasized the word "rest", but her meaning was clear.
Zhuo Bufan shook his head. By the time he carried Chu Lingding down the mountain, Qiu Jinse had already disappeared.
Driving the Land Rover, Zhuo Bufan dropped Chu Lingding off at an inn before returning to the courtyard house.
The next morning.
Chu Lingding propped up his gloomy head and opened his heavy eyelids to look at the unfamiliar environment in the room. "Where is this? Why am I here? "
She subconsciously widened her eyes and lifted the blanket to take a look. Finally, she heaved a sigh of relief. Her clothes were neat and tidy.
Getting out of bed, she immediately ran to the service desk and asked with a frown, "Excuse me, do you know how I got here yesterday?"
"Your friend sent you here. You seemed to be drunk at the time." The girl on duty stretched. Because Zhuo Bufan and Chu Lingding came late yesterday, she had an impression of them.
Chu Lingding furrowed her brows and widened her eyes. "My friend sent me here. Is he a tall man dressed in branded clothes?"
"No, he was dressed in sportswear. He was tall, but he had a scar on his face," the girl on duty recalled.
"A scar on his face? Could it be Zhuo Bufan?" Chu Lingding clenched his fists so hard that his long nails dug into his palms. She didn't feel any pain, and her mind was in a mess. Last night, it was Zhuo Bufan who sent her to the inn, but she clearly remembered that she was sleeping at home.
Chu Lingding felt like he was about to break down. What happened?
The girl on duty looked at her suspiciously. Suddenly, as if she had discovered some big news, she pointed at her and said, "You … you are Chu Lingding … the one who plays the role of the Eighth Princess."
In an instant, everyone's gaze turned to them.
Chu Lingding didn't have time to think. She quickly put on her sunglasses and ran out of the inn before anyone could react.
…
In the Shu family's ancestral hall, all the people in charge of the Shu family were sitting upright. Their faces seemed to be shrouded by dark clouds.
Shu Zemin paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back. His brows were tightly knitted.
"Director Shu, you are the backbone of the Shu family. What should we do now? Last night, Director Cui called me and said that he wants to stop working with the Shu family. You should know that we have been working with Director Cui for five years and have a fixed profit of ten million every year," someone sighed.
"Also, the Transportation Bureau, the Quality Supervision Bureau, and the Drug Production Supervision Bureau all went to our factory yesterday. Now, the factory has even stopped production. Not only will we lose a lot of orders, I'm afraid we will also have to pay a lot of money to our customers," another person said.
Shu Zemin stared at him and said, "Lao Wu, aren't you very familiar with the secretary of the municipal government? Didn't you find out why he is targeting the Shu family? We have treated him well every year. "
"Can I not ask? I made a call yesterday, but the secretary told me that he couldn't help even if he wanted to. He hasn't even picked up my call. "
"Director Shu, if this continues, the Shu family will suffer a great loss. We will lose at least half of our assets. Also, we will not have any more orders in the future. We are finished," someone said with a bitter face after doing some calculations.
Old Master Shu stood up shakily and coughed lightly. He said slowly, "Our Shu family has been through many storms. This storm is nothing. As long as everyone is united, we will definitely be able to persevere."
Shu Yuanyang sat at the side and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. His mind was filled with Zhuo Bufan's appearance before he left. Could it be that all of this was done by Zhuo Bufan? However, he was just a small student. What power did he have to bring down the Shu family?
Just as Old Master Shu finished speaking, a bearded middle-aged man walked in. He had a head full of sweat.
"Second Bro, how did it go?" Shu Zemin looked at the person excitedly and asked.
The bearded middle-aged man's mouth was dry. He picked up a cup of tea and poured it down his throat. Everyone looked at him anxiously.
This was the second son of the Shu Family, his name was Shu Zeken. Yesterday, he had made a trip to the provincial capital. An expert had appeared in the Shu Family town, he was the number one secretary of the Deputy Governor. This time, Shu Zeken had specially made a trip to the provincial capital to find out which big shot the Shu Family had offended to be targeted like this.
"Big Brother, Father, ah …" Shu Zeken let out a long sigh and said, "It's Zhuo Bufan. I don't know what his relationship with Cao Simiao is. We insulted him yesterday. It was the Cao family who sent people to suppress us and make our business completely collapse."
Hearing this, Old Master Shu almost couldn't breathe. They probably couldn't get through this. The Cao family was a fifth-grade family. If they wanted to crush the Shu family, it would be as easy as stepping on an ant.
Shu Yuanyang felt like he had been struck by lightning. His body felt weak and his eyes were dull.
Shu Zemin and the rest of the Shu family slumped into their chairs. If they had known this would happen, they would have given Zhuo Bufan 100 million. They wouldn't have ended up like this.
Shu Yuanyang was filled with regret. It seemed like Cao Simiao was trying to curry favor with Zhuo Bufan. How could Cao Baichuan not know?
