Zhong Yan pursed his lips tightly, and after a while he said, "Sister, I understand."

Zhong Ran then turned her head to look at him and chuckled, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't put myself in danger easily."

She cherishes her life very much.

After finally being reborn here, she still wants to live well, work hard to become strong, and then go back to take revenge.

She will not let go of anyone who bullied her.

Zhong Yan nodded heavily, but the big hand behind him slowly clenched.

He will practice hard and become stronger as quickly as possible, and stay by his sister's side to protect her along the way.

The two of them quickly walked to He Chao's yard, knocked on the door gently, and soon a hoarse voice came from inside.

"Who?"

"It's me." Zhong Ran's cold voice sounded.

There were hurried footsteps from inside, and then the door was quickly opened.

"Auntie, it's you who are here. Come in quickly."

The person who opened the door was Jiang Zihong, but his face had been simply disguised and looked a little different from before.

He looked outside vigilantly, making sure no one was paying attention before quickly closing the door.

Zhong Ran glanced at him: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Zihong welcomed them in and explained in a low voice, "Auntie, the incident with Master Chen Wu is still going on. After he woke up, he betrayed us, and the authorities are searching everywhere for us."

"I heard that a murder occurred in the west of the city, and it turned out to be Mr. Chen Wu's villa."

As he spoke, he carefully observed Zhong Ran's expression.

After the incident happened in Master Chen Wu's villa, the first person they thought of was this young lady.

After all, she asked He Chao to take her there that day, but something happened in the evening.

I heard that all the things in that villa were emptied out, just like the thefts in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and the Ning Wang Mansion.

It was also heard that a lot of stolen items from the Marquis' Mansion and the Prince of Ning's Mansion were found in the backyard of the courtyard where they used to live.

After they left, they searched it out.

They have lived there for so long, don’t they know whether those things exist or not?

But this lady went in once, and then it was there again.

He discussed it secretly with He Chao and made a bold guess that this lady might be the mysterious thief.

With her skills, she is the only one who can easily sneak into those mansions.

But they couldn't figure out how she had emptied all those things.

Therefore, they came to the conclusion that she was probably a monster that came from nowhere and could steal things with just a wave of her hand.

They were both surprised and happy. They were surprised that having contact with such a mysterious thief was just like trying to get the skin of a tiger.

However, they were poisoned and forced onto the boat, so they didn't even have the right to regret.

The good news is that by following such a master, perhaps one day they can become the best of the best and live the life they want.

Zhong Ran didn't respond to his question, but simply said, "How many herbs did you buy for me last time?"

Jiang Zihong saw that she changed the subject and understood that she didn't want to talk about it.

Come to think of it, how could such a mysterious person like her explain all this to them?

"I've bought all the silver notes you gave me. Uncle He has connections, so I contacted the herbal medicine dealers and bought them directly from them. I just don't know the quality. I'll have to wait until I see it to find out."

Zhong Ran didn't expect that they were so quick and actually knew to buy from the herbal medicine dealers.

She and Jiang Zihong walked towards a room that was used as a temporary warehouse. They could smell the fragrance of medicine before they even opened the door.

The door opened and a faint medicinal aroma wafted into the air.

She asked someone to open the bags of herbs one by one for her to check. The first few bags were fine, but the more than ten bags in the middle contained old herbs, and a musty smell came out when they were opened.

Zhong Ran's expression remained unchanged, but Jiang Zihong's legs went weak.

"Auntie, please spare us. We didn't expect those people to be so bold as to replace us with outdated herbs."

Zhong Ran said calmly, "You didn't check each package of herbs?"

For medicinal material merchants, He Chao and others are newcomers.

They don't know much about medicinal materials. Maybe they will check the first few bags, but I'm afraid they won't check the rest, or the people who check have been bribed.

So, they were fooled.

He Chao hurried over at this time and just heard this. His face turned pale and he quickly knelt down.

"Auntie, it's my fault. I'll take people to find those people and ask for compensation right away."

If they dare to fool him, he won't let them off easily.

Zhong Ran said calmly: "Find out the old ones and take me to find them."

Daring to sell old medicinal herbs to her is simply like challenging someone else's will. It seems like she is not dying fast enough.

He Chao did not dare to hesitate and quickly asked someone to check each bag to find out the outdated medicinal materials.

Two of the bags were severely moldy and emitted a foul odor, which made He Chao's face look even uglier.

He quietly observed Zhong Ran's expression, but she was wearing a veil and he couldn't see clearly. But judging from her eyes, her expression should be very calm.

That’s right, a strong person like me would not care about such a small matter at all.

If those people dare to sell inferior goods as good ones, she will just go to their door and ask them to pay compensation.

But I’m afraid their future days will not be easy. After all, they messed up the first time. What if my aunt doubts their ability and doesn’t give them the antidote?

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He decided that when he found the herbal medicine dealer later, he must behave well and squeeze those people out of a lot of money to appease his aunt.

A total of fifteen bags of old medicinal herbs were found, and Zhong Ran discovered that the contents of several bags were not the herbs she wanted.

He Chao's face became more and more ugly. He asked someone to move all these out. When he turned around to ask Zhong Ran, he found that the room that was full of herbal medicine bags just now was now empty.

It was empty. There was nothing there except Zhong Ran standing there.

The air was still filled with the smell of medicinal herbs, but there were no herbs.

His mouth opened wide, his eyes widened, and he couldn't hide the astonishment in his eyes.

Sure enough, their previous guess was correct, it was really the girl in front of them who did it.

Who is she?

"Aunt, Aunt...Grandma!" He swallowed tremblingly before calling out a complete name.

For some unknown reason, he felt cold all over, as if he was on a ghost ship.

And there is this young master, who is tall and thin, but every time someone gets close to him, he feels very uncomfortable.

I'm afraid this brother and sister are monsters that ran out of the mountains?

Zhong Ran glanced at him calmly and walked outside: "Let's go."

Jiang Zihong glanced at the empty room quietly, then looked at Zhong Ran's back, and quickly touched He Chao.

At this moment, a thousand alpaca horses were galloping through his mind. How unlucky was he to meet a monster on the street?

Once they get on this ghost ship, can they still get off?

No, if they board this ghost ship, will they all die from being swallowed of blood?
