Mu Yanchen honestly confessed some of his past with Xiao Yi. Everything he told was true, but he just didn't tell the whole story. But overall, it still made sense.

Facing Shen Zhao's extremely stressful and suspicious gaze, Situ Rui knocked on the door hurriedly.

"Dong dong dong..."

They both immediately raised their heads and looked towards the door. Shen Zhao even stood up and walked over to open the door for Situ Rui. "He seems to have something urgent to talk to you about."

Mu Yanchen didn't say anything, but overall he passed this hurdle. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hoped that Shen Zhao would no longer dwell on this issue in the future.

The door opened, and Situ Rui's face showed a rare look of anxiety that was different from usual.

Mu Yanchen raised his eyes, "What's wrong?"

Situ Rui's mouth was full of smiles, it seemed that there must be good news.

He took a few breaths and said, "Lin Han... Lin Han is back. He brought the medicinal herbs that Miss Shen mentioned before!"

Shen Zhao couldn't believe it. She was also hoping for a lucky break. After all, the night-eating flower grew on the highest peak of the North Mountain, where it was freezing cold. It bloomed once every eight years and only bloomed for three days. It was hard to find even with current technology. After all, the altitude there was too high. Even military aircraft couldn't get up there. They could only use the most traditional method and obtain it with manpower. It was also extremely costly to preserve it. It had to stay in extremely low temperatures at all times. It would wither immediately if it got a little warm. The stamens were highly poisonous. People would die within eight hours if their skin came into contact with them.

At that time, she calculated the flowering period of the Night-Eating Flower, and it had been more than seven years since the last time it bloomed, so she hurriedly asked Lin Han to pick it. At that time, she didn't know whether Mu Yanchen could hold on until the flower was picked.

Now the bet has paid off!

Shen Zhao immediately put aside the question of how Xiao Yi and Mu Yanchen knew each other, and she excitedly went to meet him, "Situ Rui, come on, take me to see Lin Han!"

Several people walked all the way to the underground laboratory. Situ Rui walked in front, blocking the view. Only when they entered the spacious inner room did Shen Zhao stick his head out from behind Situ Rui.

Lin Han sat on the hospital bed and let the family doctor operate on him. Several needles were inserted into his arm and several tubes of liquid were continuously pumped into his body.

Hearing the sound, he slowly raised his tired eyelids, and looked in the direction of Situ Rui with his cloudy pupils, but his gaze fell on Shen Zhao and Mu Yanchen who were following behind.

He had changed a lot and was covered with scars. His originally elegant face was weathered and had traces of wind and rain. When he saw that Mu Yanchen's face looked much better, he was so excited that he wanted to jump out of bed.

He ignored the IV in his arm, threw back the quilt and tried to get out of bed.

"Lie down and tell me what you went through." Mu Yanchen rarely spoke in an imperative tone. This was the first time Shen Zhao had heard this in all the time he had been here.

The effect was obvious. Lin Han immediately stopped turning over and getting out of bed, but his eyes were still excited as he looked at Mu Yanchen, with a faint light of tears emerging on them.

Lin Han didn't say it immediately. He glanced at the family doctor and finally looked at Shen Zhao.

Mu Yanchen certainly knew what he was worried about. He had been outside for so long. Even though he knew that Shen Zhao had the ability to cure him, in his perception, Shen Zhao didn't know the twists and turns involved. Moreover, Shen Zhao was also a character he deliberately created to impersonate Sheng Baiyi in order to keep him alive. He didn't know that in these few days, everything had changed drastically.

"It's okay, just talk." Mu Yanchen said.

The family doctor was very tactful. He finished the finishing work and left the scene quickly, and even closed the door for them when he left.

Lin Han stared at Mu Yanchen in shock, and then received a clear message from Situ Rui. Although he didn't show it on his face, he was very shocked in his heart. Could it be that the boss really mistook Shen Zhao for Sheng Baiyi? That's an old cow eating young grass!

Situ Rui brought a chair for Mu Yanchen, and Mu Yanchen sat down near the bed. "Aren't you going to say it?"

Lin Han finally came back to his senses. He coughed a few times and said, "Then I'll tell you."

After Lin Han told Situ Rui what he had experienced over the past six months, his expression became more serious. "So you were attacked when you went to look for the Night Devouring Flower?"

Lin Han shook his head. "It wasn't an attack to be exact. It was just that the group was also looking for the Night Devouring Flower. They just happened to run into each other in the same place, and then we started fighting. We also lost some people, but the good news is that we finally got the Night Devouring Flower."

"Then do you know where this group of people belongs to?"

Lin Han took the tablet, clicked on it, and then handed it to Mu Yanchen.

Mu Yanchen lowered his eyes to glance at the identity information displayed on the screen, then swiped the screen, his eyes calm, "If it was Mu Guichao and the others, they might come a second time. Since Ye Shihua is important to me, then it is also important to him."

Situ Rui looked solemn, "According to what you said, Mu Guichao will directly send people to rob it?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

While they were discussing how to guard against Mu Guichao's people, Shen Zhao had already opened the Night-Eating Flower which was loaded in a special container.

Lin Han and his team used special materials that are transparent and heat-insulating, like a glass box. The temperature inside is completely opposite to the temperature outside, but the Night-Eating Flower can be preserved intact inside.

As its name suggests, the flower is completely black, with only the petals having dots of fluorescent light, which looks like a starry sky in the dark night.

Shen Zhao bent over, her face very close, all she could see was the flower. She had seen this in an ancient book. When she saw Mu Yanchen's symptoms, the description of the Night-Eating Flower in the ancient book flashed through her mind. At that time, she felt that the symptoms of people who came into contact with the poison of the Night-Eating Flower were exactly the opposite of Mu Yanchen's. At that time, she thought that if she controlled the amount well, using poison to fight poison should not be a problem.

So she had never seen the real thing, but this time Lin Han really broadened her horizons. There were actually five flowers in the insulated box, and judging from the way they were blooming, they must have been picked as soon as they opened.

The security work was handed over to Situ Rui, and Mu Yanchen slowly walked to Shen Zhao's side. He leaned over and whispered in her ear in a very ambiguous tone: "Have you thought of how to use this flower to heal me?"

If other women were provoked by Mu Yanchen like this, their faces would have turned red long ago, but Shen Zhao was now concentrating on thinking about how to make the flower, and she didn't notice how close Mu Yanchen was to her.

Asked this, Shen Zhao remained unmoved and said, "I have to think about it. This flower is too rare. Even if there are five of them, the effective liquid that can be extracted is limited. First, I have to use one for experiment, and then it has to pass various verifications before it can be applied to you. This is a big gamble. Aren't you afraid at all?"

Shen Zhao turned his head to look at Mu Yanchen, with some disbelief in his eyes.
