Ju Hong was professionally trained after all. She noticed Shen Zhao when he was chasing her from behind. Shen Zhao did not try to hide anything, so she noticed it even faster.

Juhong turned around as she walked on the hill. The summer sun shone on her body, and her face was hidden in the backlight. Shen Zhao looked up and couldn't see clearly what her expression was for a moment.

The heat was surging, and Shen Zhao was already sweating profusely after running out for a while. She shielded herself from the sun with her hands, "Miss Juhong, I want to ask you something."

Juhong had no ill will towards Shen Zhao. She was just upset that her own head of the family was often humiliated in the manor. She walked towards Shen Zhao and said, "Ask."

"Miss Juhong is here, so where is your head of the family? I have something to discuss with him."

After hearing what Shen Zhao said, Juhong felt that it was an opportunity to make the people in the manor look down on her. Since Shen Zhao needed their help, they didn't have to feel so aggrieved.

"Let's go!" Juhong was so excited that she reached out and took Shen Zhao's arm, "I'll take you to see our master!"

Just as she finished speaking, Juhong heard Li Chengyi's voice from behind, "Juhong, let go of Miss Shen!"

Shen Zhao turned around and saw Li Chengyi running in front, followed by Mei Bai, Mu Yanchen and others.

"Why are you here? We were just about to look for you." Shen Zhao stared at them in confusion, then retracted his arm and ran towards Mu Yanchen.

She stood in front of him, the afternoon sun shining on her slightly wet forehead, casting a little light.

Mu Yanchen smiled gently. He reached out and gently wiped the beads of sweat with his sleeve. "Why did you run out of the lab? It's very hot outside."

Shen Zhao grabbed his other wrist, his eyes filled with excitement, "I found it! I found a way!"

Li Chengyi and the others were all infected by Shen Zhao's emotions, and they looked at her with curiosity and confusion in their eyes.

Shen Zhao then looked at Li Chengyi, "Mr. Li, long time no see, I'm really glad you can come!"

Although Li Chengyi didn't know what was going on, since Shen Zhao said so, he had even more reason to stay in the manor. He said proudly: "Miss Shen is my sister's savior. If you have any instructions, just tell me!"

Several people moved to the living room. Because the night-eating flower was rare and precious, it could not be exposed to outsiders unless it was the most critical moment.

Shen Zhao looked at Li Chengyi eagerly, "Does what you said before still count?"

Li Chengyi was also generous, "Of course, but please ask Miss Shen to see my sister again. I am afraid that the recent medication is not as good as expected."

"That's no problem, but I want winter grass and frost flowers. I don't want refined ones. I need fresh or wild ones."

When they heard about winter grass and frost flowers, Li Cheng and his companions all changed their expressions.

Seeing this, Shen Zhao said hesitantly, "Didn't you promise me to use the resources in Dongling Pharmacy as I please? Are you worried about something?"

Li Chengyi suppressed his surprise and asked solemnly, "May I know what effect Miss Shen has on these two herbs? The reason for my surprise is that these two herbs are not common herbs, and both are highly toxic. People in our pharmacy rarely go to pick these two herbs. The ones that come to the store have already been refined. If you want fresh herbs, you have to send someone to pick them."

Shen Zhao glanced at Mu Yanchen, and after Mu Yanchen nodded, she said, "That's right. These two herbs are related to Mu Yanchen's health. You also know that there is an unusual substance in his body, and one of them was also found in Li Rao. If these two herbs can really help Mu Yanchen, I believe Miss Li Rao will be healthy soon."

"Really?" Li Chengyi almost stood up from the sofa.

Shen Zhao nodded calmly. She didn't tell the whole story. In fact, the only thing that could help their condition was the Night-Eating Flower, and the other two were just auxiliary. But she couldn't reveal too much now. Mu Guichao alone was troublesome enough. If Li Chengyi came, Mu Yanchen would have too many enemies.

Li Chengyi completely believed in Shen Zhao. After getting Shen Zhao's confirmation, he immediately ordered Mei Bai to do the job.

"Don't worry, Miss Shen. We at Dongling Pharmacy will handle this matter. We will bring back the winter grass and frost flowers within three days." Mei Bai assured Shen Zhao.

In addition to Mei Bai, Li Chengyi and Juhong were arranged to stay in the guest villa, which was only a five-minute walk from the main residence.

In the early hours of the morning, when everyone was asleep, a team of men in black quietly sneaked into the manor.

Situ Rui looked at the shadows on the tablet. "You can't hold back so soon." He tilted his head to look at Ji Zhengxuan, who looked much better sitting in a wheelchair. "Your former master was so impatient that he sent people over in less than a few days!"

Ji Zhengxuan pressed his legs hard. He knew that Situ Rui still didn't trust him. After all, he used to follow that man. But she was in the manor, the girl who could be so gentle to someone like him. He didn't want her to become a victim of the two brothers like Sheng Baiyi!

He said coldly: "Don't test me. I think Mu Guichao already knew the news a long time ago. It wasn't me who passed the news on purpose."

Situ Rui grinned, "You are smart, but tonight's action has just begun!"

The team of men in black seemed to have some understanding of the structure of the manor. After entering the manor, they headed towards the main house and the laboratory, and completely ignored the side houses.

Even so, Situ Rui still threw a gun to Ji Zhengxuan before leaving, "Keep it, just in case."

Ji Zhengxuan picked up the shiny black pistol and shook it in the air, "Aren't you afraid that I will use it against you?"

"If you want to be disliked by Shen Zhao, then do it." Situ Rui said, and left the side house with his mocking laughter.

Ji Zhengxuan lowered his hands in self-loathing. Yes, if he hadn't become like this, he would have been qualified to fight for it.

He looked in the direction of the house and pounded his broken leg hard, hoping that she was okay.

The men in black split into two groups halfway through their journey, one group went to the main house and the other group went to the laboratory.

When that group of people arrived in front of the main house, the lights in the main house suddenly lit up, and several spotlights just happened to shine on those people. A large number of people surrounded them from all sides. Seeing that the situation was not right, that group of people dropped their weapons, raised their hands, and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Mu Yanchen and Situ Rui walked out of the main gate of the residence and approached those people leisurely.

"Since you knew we were prepared, why did you send them here to die? Look, how ugly it is now." Situ Rui said, clicking his tongue from time to time.

A cold light flashed across Mu Yanchen's eyes. He glanced at the still dark room, and there was some tenderness in the corners of his eyes. Fortunately, she was not woken up by them, otherwise...

"Take them away and interrogate them one by one. Catch the group that went to the laboratory immediately." Mu Yanchen ordered coldly, and then walked into the main house wearing his snow fox cloak.
