After ending her live stream, Lu Rou charged her phone, grabbed a set of silk pajamas, and went to take a shower.

An hour later, she weakly leaned against the door as she came out, her abdomen wracked with sharp, surging pains that came in waves, irregular yet continuous.

She bent down to boil a cup of brown sugar water, took a sip, and immediately spat it out.

This tastes awful!

This body is too weak!

Picking up the phone from the side, Junyan's message came into view.

[Y: I should be back as early as next Thursday]

[Pomelo Tea: Okay~]

The other party is typing.

[Y: Are you getting ready to sleep?]

[Y: I mean, is it convenient to talk on the phone?]

[Yuzu Tea: Mm]

Junyan immediately made a voice call, and Lu Rou answered it.

For a few seconds after the call connected, both parties remained silent.

Lu Rou spoke first, feigning ignorance.

"Why isn't Mr. Jun making a call?"

"Of course I want to hear Miss Lu's voice."

His voice came from the other end of the phone, clearer and more mellow than usual, like a gentle breeze caressing the heart.

What, he's taking advantage of Miss Lu.

Lu Rou was instantly captivated by his pleasant voice.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her, and she gasped for breath; Jun Yan clearly noticed it.

Hearing her slightly uncomfortable breathing, Jun Yan frowned: "What's wrong?"

"Hearing is good," Lu Rou replied casually, "It's nothing."

"Lu Rou".

"Why is Boss Jun calling me by my full name? It's nothing."

Lu Rou discovered a pattern: when he was serious, he would call her by her full name.

Junyan called out again, and Lu Rou, sensing the concern in his tone, replied succinctly.

"The pain is so bad, I've already drunk some brown sugar water."

Upon hearing this, Junyan understood: "When I get back, I'll go with you to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, okay?"

Lu Rou obediently replied, "Okay."

She made a request: "Boss Jun, I want to sleep. Could you read me a story?"

"What do you want to hear?"

"The Princess and the Knight".

"I am searching."

Lu Rou lay quietly on the bed, her eyes half-open and half-closed, revealing a hint of fatigue.

"Boss Jun, I'm ready."

Jun Yan's voice was deep and soothing, each word like a calming pill.

Lu Rou gradually relaxed, her eyes slowly closed, and her breathing became even.

"Goodnight, my princess."

……

The next morning, Lu Rou felt sore in her back and her legs were weak when she walked, as if she had just finished a physical fitness test, running 800 meters and doing sit-ups.

[Y: It still hurts?]

[Pomelo tea: Much better] Yeah, right.

She got up, ate breakfast, and then lay back down.

……

the other side.

Mu Yuanxiao arrived at his shop as usual. From a distance, he saw a group of people standing at the shop entrance with cameras and microphones.

When they saw Mu Yuanxiao arrive, they all rushed up to him and started chattering away.

"We received a report from the public that you are selling counterfeit medicine. Is this true?"

"Why would you sell fake medicine to those patients? They are suffering so much, and you're still making money off them with your dirty deeds. Don't you have a conscience?"

"Please tell us, we need the truth."

"Stop filming, stop filming."

Mu Yuanxiao immediately opened the door, went inside, and locked the door to block out the outside noise.

He sat down and remained silent for a long time.

He only opened the shop door after it had completely fallen silent outside.

Before long, people started lining up to buy medicine.

When Mu Yuanxiao saw that Lian Guihua had brought someone with her, he began to reprimand her.

"Lian Guihua, didn't I say that you need my permission to bring people here? How come you brought people here without my permission?"

Wei Gui chimed in, "Dr. Mu, he's a relative of the doctor, and his family is very poor. Why don't you sell the medicine to him?"

Mu Yuanxiao compromised: "This is the only time. The medicine I sell must not be known to anyone other than us. If I'm ruined, you're all ruined too."

He took out the medicine and gave it to the man, who then took out handcuffs and handcuffed him.

Deng Xun showed his police ID and said in an official manner: "You are suspected of selling counterfeit drugs at high prices. Come with me."

Mu Yuanxiao looked at everyone with a cold gaze.

Well done.

He shouldn't have sympathized with them.

A bunch of ingrates.

Lian Guihua said helplessly, "Dr. Mu, we gave you a chance to sell it at a lower price, but you didn't want to, so you can't blame us."

"You were the ones who begged me to sell you the medicine. You swore you'd pay any price, saying that a box of this medicine costs 30,000 yuan on the market and none of it is as effective as mine."

I only sell each box to you for three thousand, without making a single penny profit. Is this how you repay me? Without my medicine, you can just wait to die.

After Mu Yuanxiao finished speaking, he took the initiative to leave with Deng Xun.

In the interrogation room.

Deng Xun sat behind his wooden desk, his sharp, hawk-like eyes fixed on Mu Yuanxiao in front of him.

"Why sell counterfeit drugs? How much money do you make selling counterfeit drugs?"

Faced with Deng Xun's questioning, Mu Yuanxiao remained calm and resolute, straightening his posture.

“My medicine is absolutely fine, and I haven’t made a single penny.”

At that moment, a police officer came in and said, "Captain, Mu Yuanxiao has been bailed out."
