Chapter 380 - Saving a Life

When Xu Huan heard this, he looked at Mo Zhu in shock. He looked up in disbelief and continued asking, “What? No way, Little Bamboo. This person has been dead for a day and he can still be saved?”

Mo Zhu nodded and replied in a low voice, “Yes, it’s not something difficult for me.”

After saying this, she took out the acupuncture bag she had casually brought with her when she left the small mansion and placed it neatly on the wooden board. She prepared to lift the needle and perform acupuncture treatment on the “corpse” who was still breathing.

Seeing that Mo Zhu was about to take action, Huo Xuan took two steps forward worriedly and held the girl’s hand. He quickly said, “Xiao Zhu, your body has just recovered a little. Can you still perform acupuncture to save him?”

Mo Zhu looked up at the man’s concerned gaze and gently shook Huo Xuan’s hand. “It’s alright, I have almost fully recovered.”

Knowing that the girl was persistent, Huo Xuan didn’t say anything else. After he retracted his hand, Mo Zhu quickly picked up the silver needles and skillfully inserted them into the “corpse”.

Ten minutes later, after the last silver needle was used, Mo Zhu heaved a long sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Huo Xuan raised his hand and pulled the girl into his arms. He said in a low voice, “How do you feel? Can you still hold on?”

Mo Zhu smiled and gently raised her hand to instruct, “Don’t touch the silver needles on this person’s body first. Arrange for someone to watch over him day and night. In three days, ask Mo Jiu to come and remove the needles for him. After these silver needles are taken out and he recuperates for a period of time, his body should be able to recover to its previous state.”

After saying this, Mo Zhu did not want to stay here any longer. She had seen everything she needed to see. She frowned slightly and suggested, “We’ve seen everyone. Let’s leave this place first.”

Since a long time ago, Xu Huan had not wanted to stay here and smell that disgusting smell. When he heard this, he immediately agreed and followed the two of them out of the morgue.

After returning to the car, Chen Man happened to call, asking them to go to the Huo family’s old mansion for dinner. She even specially instructed them that she would be cooking personally tonight and had made a lot of dishes and soup for Mo Zhu to nourish her body. She instructed Huo Xuan to bring Mo Zhu back to the old mansion no matter what.

After agreeing to this matter, Xu Huan drove to the Huo family’s old mansion. Seeing that Mo Zhu was resting against the back of the chair, Huo Xuan also turned his gaze to the window and quietly looked at the night view in a daze.

A moment later, she seemed to have thought of something. Mo Zhu pinched the space between her eyebrows and asked, “By the way, did the research institute send any news while I was unconscious?”

Upon hearing Mo Zhu take the initiative to ask about this, Huo Xuan recalled Meng Ran’s previous phone call. He raised his eyes and replied seriously, “Your deskmate, Meng Ran, called and said that every member of the small test group did well in order to reassure you. Also, she promised to cover for you. It seems like the research institute hasn’t discovered that you’re staying outside. Besides that, they’ve even applied for sick leave for you. You don’t have to attend the test during your sick leave.”

When Mo Zhu heard this, she nodded and said, “Sure, as long as they don’t find out, everything is fine. That group of old scholars has too many problems. If they know that I don’t return at night, they will definitely nag non-stop. It’s good to deal with it this way.”

After saying this, considering the abnormality she had seen on the corpse just now, Mo Zhu sat up straight and said, “By the way, there’s something else I have to tell you.”

Upon hearing the girl’s serious tone, even Xu Huan, who was only focused on driving, pricked up his ears and listened seriously.

After pausing for a few seconds, Mo Zhu added, “The black-robed youth who appeared in the Kang family last night should have used internal energy that he had learned from a hidden expert. That’s why he was able to kill the experts from the Dark Forces in one strike.”

Xu Huan frowned and said in surprise, “Internal energy? How is that possible? Isn’t that something that only appears in novels?”

Mo Zhu nodded with a grave expression. “That’s right. You can interpret it that way. I actually knew a little about this kind of internal energy before, but through the examination just now, I realized that the internal energy that the black-robed youth used was not from the same sect as mine. In layman’s terms, his internal energy is very domineering. It seems like it was specially nurtured to kill!”
