After returning to the Huo family, Mo Zhu followed Huo Xuan into the house. Just as she entered, the phone in her pocket vibrated. She skillfully took out her phone and looked at the caller ID. She frowned slightly before answering the call.

She placed the receiver beside her ear. A few seconds later, she heard something and Mo Zhu’s expression darkened. She asked coldly, “What did you say? Repeat it!”

When Huo Xuan heard this voice, he stopped in surprise and turned to look at Mo Zhu.

“Ms. Mo, your grandmother suddenly fell ill just now. The special medicine in the hospital has just been used up. I called the Acupuncture Research Center just now and they said that it was just yesterday when someone bought all the suitable special medicine. Is Young Master Huo by your side? Can you ask him to help think of a way to transfer some from another hospital…”

When Mo Zhu heard this, her eyes were as cold as ice. She stood quietly on the spot with her head lowered, and the aura around her instantly dropped a few degrees.

Huo Xuan acutely sensed that the girl’s mood was a little unstable. He turned around and quickly walked two steps to Mo Zhu’s side. He frowned and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Mo Zhu hung up the phone and looked up at Huo Xuan nervously. Her voice was low as she said, “The hospital called me to say that Grandma’s special medicine is gone. The rest of it in the research institute has been bought.”

When Huo Xuan heard this, he understood that Mo Zhu was worried about her grandmother’s safety. He raised his hand and gently touched the girl’s hair before saying comfortingly, “Don’t worry too much. Grandma’s condition will definitely stabilize. I’ll call and ask if there is any special medicine left. I’ll get them to send them to Cloud City immediately!”

After saying this, Huo Xuan took out his phone and started contacting people one by one. Mo Zhu followed closely behind the man and stood a few meters away from Huo Xuan, staring nervously at his figure.

After a while, Huo Xuan hung up the last call and shook his head lightly. He was just about to turn around and go to the room to look for Mo Zhu when he saw the girl standing by the side waiting for him. Huo Xuan took two steps forward with a dark expression.

“Just now, my people found that most of the medicine in the hospital had been secretly changed by someone this morning. The rest of the special medicine had just been used up in the afternoon, that’s the reason why they didn’t have any medicine for her when Grandmother’s illness suddenly acted up.”

After a pause, he frowned and continued, “The remaining medicine in the research institute was deliberately purchased by some mysterious person yesterday. If my news is correct, all the special medicine in the country is controlled by someone now. They can’t be purchased through normal means in the market!”

At this moment, Huo Xuan was also in a very bad mood. Previously, in order to protect Zhang Fen better, he had specially arranged for quite a number of people to stay in the hospital and watch the movements in the hospital and wards day and night.

Ever since the special medicine was put into the market and used on Zhang Fen, he had arranged for someone to specially prepare a few more doses in the hospital every month. He was afraid that there would be a day when the medicine would be out of stock and his grandmother would suddenly fall ill. He did not expect that this time, he would be taken advantage of by someone with ill intentions.

When Mo Zhu heard Huo Xuan’s explanation, she lowered her eyes and pondered quietly for a moment before saying, “Alright, I understand. I’ll contact my friends to see if there’s any other way.”

After saying this, Mo Zhu stood up and entered the room. She took out her phone and quickly pressed a string of numbers, immediately making a video call.

A few seconds later, the call was picked up and Cheng Yi’s face suddenly appeared on the phone screen. He looked at the girl in front of him who was probably still underage and lowered his head to carefully confirm the number again. He asked in a daze, “K’s call? Why did a little girl suddenly appear?”

Mo Zhu did not have time to waste on him. She frowned and said bluntly, “You’re not wrong, I’m K..”
