The Unknown Beauty - Chapter 164 The Drug 23

“Master! They aren’t there anymore!” said Wu Long Long as she quickly got to the second floor without using the elevator.

“What? Who?” Min Fu-Han was watching the auction and was deliberately trying to get the longevity pill. The first few items are still being auctioned that are rare but not the legendary items everyone in the auction house heard.

“Master… They people in the cell, Xie Cheng, Xie Tai-Hua, and Zhao Xiu Mei… They are gone!” Wu Long Long was still catching her breath and couldn’t talk properly.

“What!? What do you mean they are gone!”

“They aren’t in the cell anymore!”

“Tsk.” Min Fu-Han still wants the longevity pill but need his test subject.

“Wu Long Long, I have ten million gold. Bet as little as possible for that longevity pill. I will go catch those pieces of trash,” said Min Fu-Han, all angry and he left the auction to go back to his lab.

He jumps on the buildings and runs through the dark alleyways to get to his home. He reaches his home and checked to see if he can sense any presence where the building with all the slaves are put in and he felt no one…

‘What is going on? Where is everyone? Did Minister Dai move the slaves to a different location?’ thought Min Fu-Han. “I know we made a deal but… He should of at least tell me he was doing it today! I’m dealing with idiots here!”

Min Fu Han walks up his front door and that’s when he felt something was not right. He place his ear to the door and can hear footsteps.

‘I can’t feel this person’s presence! Who is in there!?’

The footsteps got louder as the person inside was getting closer to the door. Min Fu-Han stepped back and got his needles ready and once the person opened the door, he can see the outline of the figure and threw two needle at its neck.

‘Perfect-‘ he thought as he can see the needles in the moonlight going right at the throat but the person caught it right before they pierced their skin.

“What? Why are there eight people? There should only be seven?” said Wu Lang.

They finally got the people back to the houses safely. Meiying stayed behind to set some orders down while the boys when to get the enemy back to camp.

“Yu Yan probably encountered this man when she came back. She even made a nice pile for us,” said Kenzhi.

“Let’s quickly get these people back to the house so we can find those drugs and get this over with,” said Xie Rong.

———

“Everyone good?” asked Hua Maoli.

“Yes,” said Guo Jinsong as he checks the twins in his arms. The children had no idea what happened and they were shocked that in an instant, they were in a different place.

“Where are we?” asked Xie Cheng.

“We are in the Chu Palace,” said Guo Jinsong and smiles to the children. “You guys will be safe here.”

The palace was beautiful and the twins have never seen such a beautiful structure before.

“Jinsong, take the woman to a the room to the right of that hallway as I fetch a doctor,” said Hua Maoli and hands the twin’s mother to Guo Jinsong.

Guo Jinsong and the children are taken to the room as Hua Maoli gets the imperial doctor to check on her.

“I don’t know what’s going on…. I have never seen anything like this before,” said the doctor. “She is injured all over and her body is cold but she has symptoms of a fever. She is having troubles breathing and her eyes are bloodshot. I never seen anything like this.”

“No! You have to help my mother! Don’t let her die!” said Xie Tai-Hua.

“I’m sorry… there is nothing I can do…”

“Is there someone who can help? Anyone!?” said Xie Tai-Hua. “Please! Anyone that can save my mother!?”

The child is crying again. Xie Tai-Hua is desperately trying to save his mother but the doctor knows no one that could help.

“How about the Medical Sect.?” said Guo Jinsong. An idea popped in his head as the Medical Sect. could probably help the mother.

“No! They might have something against us! It’s too risky!” said Hua Maoli.

“We already know who the bad guys is, Maoli! Someone’s mother is dying and I’m not going to risk her life just because we want to be cautious. I’m not going to let her die!” said Guo Jinsong.

“But… the Master is a Quan! Not only that, the Tangs have a grudge against us!” said Hua Maoli.

“What has gotten into you lately? The master is the daughter that Minister Quan hates! He even tried to get the Emperor to look into them! There were rumors he tried to kill her!” said Guo Jinsong.

Hua Maoli wasn’t thinking straight. He just wants to keep the emperor and his empire safe and didn’t want to risk it.

“Fine. But if something happens, you are taking responsibility,” said Hua Maoli.

“Okay!”

“I’ll go and negotiate with them. You stay with the children and watch the mother’s health,” said Hua Maoli.

Hua Maoli leaves to go to Tang Pharmacy and Guo Jinsong was told to stay with the mother and children. The Imperial doctor stayed with Guo Jinsong to maintain the mother’s body.

“Is our mother dying?” asked Xie Tai-Hua, with teary eyes.

“No, I won’t let it happened,” said Guo Jinsong.

Xie Cheng looked at his mother and his face was blank with no emotions.

‘He reminds me of Hua Maoli when I first met him,’ thought Guo Jinsong.

“What are your names?” asked Guo Jinsong.

“I’m Xie Tai-Hua.”

“My name is Xie Cheng, we are twins.”

“I see. Sorry, I never introduced myself to you. I’m Guo Jinsong.”

“Thank you for saving us,” said Xie Tai-Hua, and then remembered there was also someone who was suppose to be with them. “Oh no! We forgot about Long Long!”

“Who is Long Long?” asked Guo Jinsong.

“She is a person working under the man who captured us. We were suppose to escape together but she wasn’t there when you saved us,” said Xie Tai-Hua.

“She will be fine. She said we should save ourselves,” said Xie Cheng. “She will save herself. If she can’t, she’s a weakling!”

Guo Jinsong couldn’t help but say something about what Xie Cheng has said.

“You shouldn’t say that. There are weak people but that is what we are suppose to do. The strong protects the weak,” said Guo Jinsong.

“Master said the strong will kill the weak, just like how my father died!” said Xie Cheng.

“Father is not dead! You don’t know that!” said Xie Tai-Hua.

“I do! If he is, why is mother suffering!?” said Xie Cheng. “Why are we suffering, Tai-Hua!?”

“Hey! You shouldn’t say that about your father. Your father is only human, he will make mistakes. I’m sure your father is still alive and trying to find you. Even if he is dead, I’m sure he tried too,” said Guo Jinsong.
