Chapter 309 A Strange Poison

Mo Zhu only received a reply from that person when class in the morning was about to end.

So it turned out that everything was coming one after another. She really did not have time to meet him in the morning, but Mo Zhu was not angry. She only replied that she would contact him anytime when she was free and did not disturb the other party’s investigation. As he had told Huo Xuan in advance that he would treat Old Master Lu after school, Huo Xuan had driven a separate car to pick up Mo Zhu to send her to the hotel the people of the Lu family had checked into.

Following the news Lu Zheng had given her, they arrived at the door of the room. Mo Zhu raised her hand and knocked lightly.

Lu Zheng heard a knock on the door. Considering that it might be Mo Zhu, he quickly walked two steps to the door and opened it for the two of them.

It was only when he saw Mo Zhu’s face with his own eyes that Lu Zheng felt relieved.

Previously, he had secretly called Old Master Huo to ask for his help behind his grandfather’s back. Even though he had gotten the news that Mo Zhu had relented, he still could not believe it was true. Now that he finally saw Mo Zhu appear in front of him, he was finally relieved.

Seeing that Lu Zheng had come to open the door personally, Mo Zhu gave him a glance and walked straight into the house.

Regarding Lu Zheng, be it the interactions she had with him on the day of the auction or the fact that he had begged Old Master Huo for help, every single one of them gave Mo Zhu a bad impression of him.

When she arrived at Old Master Lu’s bed, Mo Zhu was in no hurry to take his pulse. She carefully observed the patient’s expression and picked up the diagnosis record personally written by the doctor who had diagnosed Old Master Lu’s illness. She looked at it carefully.

A few minutes passed and Mo Zhu nodded with a look of understanding. Then, she took out the acupuncture bag from her coat pocket and neatly sealed a few major acupuncture points on Old Master Lu’s body with silver needles.

After confirming that every silver needle was inserted correctly, Mo Zhu raised her hand and gently checked Old Master Lu’s pulse.

At this moment, Huo Xuan was also standing quietly behind the girl and looking at her, taking his pulse seriously. A moment later, seeing that Mo Zhu’s brows were furrowed and her face was getting paler, Huo Xuan took a step forward worriedly.

Just as he was about to ask how the situation was, before Huo Xuan could say anything, Mo Zhu, who was by the bed, suddenly held her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

When Huo Xuan saw this, his eyes instantly turned cold. He quickly walked to Lu Zheng’s side and anxiously grabbed the man’s collar. He asked coldly, “Tell me! What exactly is going on? Why did Xiao Zhu suddenly vomit blood?”

Seeing how angry Huo Xuan was, Lu Zheng looked up at Mo Zhu’s situation with a confused expression. “Young Master Huo, I don’t know what’s going on either!”

He really wasn’t the one who caused this matter. He had spent a lot of effort to invite Mo Zhu to treat Old Master Lu, although he knew that the probability of this illness being cured wasn’t high.

Therefore, he definitely wouldn’t let anything happen to Mo Zhu at this time. Wouldn’t it be a huge loss and offend the Huo family?

Seeing Lu Zheng’s blank expression, Huo Xuan thought that he might really be unaware of the situation. He loosened his grip on the man’s collar and strode to Mo Zhu’s side. He raised his hand to help her up and said coldly, “If anything happens to Xiao Zhu! Your entire Lu family can forget about getting away with it!”

Unexpectedly, before he could approach, Mo Zhu took the initiative to take a step away, held her chest and shouted, “Don’t come over!”

When Huo Xuan heard this, a worried expression appeared on his face. He rubbed his palms anxiously and stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do. “What exactly happened, Xiao Zhu?”

Mo Zhu raised her hand to wipe the remaining blood at the corners of her mouth and suppressed the discomfort in her heart. She looked at Old Master Lu, who was lying on the bed, with a grave expression and instructed softly, “All of you go out and tidy up the room next door for me. Get someone to watch this door. No one is allowed to enter without my permission!”

Just as he finished speaking, Lu Zheng immediately agreed. “Leave this to me!”
