"Only my father and I live in this courtyard, so you don't need to worry," Tie Niu said to Mo Lan before she could ask.

"I'm not worried. Did you bring me into the courtyard because you have something to say?" Mo Lan raised an eyebrow, looking at Tie Niu's cautious expression.

This person is quite clever.

Hearing Mo Lan's tone, Tie Niu was taken aback. "Although I don't know why you've come, Miss, this isn't a place for you to stay for long. Especially the Chen family; they've practically turned the city upside down lately..."

"Turning everything upside down? With such a commotion, how did you manage to dodge?" Mo Lan said, noticing a flicker in Tie Niu's expression before she couldn't help but smile.

"It's melted."

Tie Niu looked embarrassed. He was afraid of getting into trouble, and also wanted to get medicine for his seriously ill father, so he melted it down that very night.

It melted?

"You know how to do that?"

"Don't you even know what I do for a living, young lady?" Tie Niu glanced at Mo Lan and explained in a low voice.

"How about we make a deal? You help me dissolve something, and I'll give you a reasonable reward, how about it?" Mo Lan looked at him, her eyes bright and clear. It was like finding a needle in a haystack!

tractor:"······"

“Don’t rush to refuse. High risk, high reward, it’s always been like this. If you’re willing, we can start tonight. If not, that’s fine too. Let’s just pretend we never met.” Mo Lan said, then sat down to wait and stopped urging him.

Fifteen minutes later, Tie Niu, looking conflicted, finally agreed. For his father lying in the hospital bed, he had to give it his all, otherwise the medication he had finally managed to get would be interrupted.

After thinking it through, Tie Niu led Mo Lan directly to a room on the left, saying, "These tools are simple, but they're enough to dissolve some things."

Mo Lan looked at the four-cornered cauldron in front of her, whose colors were indistinguishable. There were some molds and furnaces scattered around it. As a foreigner, she knew nothing about the process. Apart from knowing the melting and boiling points of some metals, she had never practiced the process, only having theoretical knowledge.

"Okay, I'll come over at 7 PM tonight."

“Okay, I’ll also take a two-day break. My father is seriously ill and needs careful care.”

The neighbors all knew that he had a seriously ill father and that he had an endless supply of medicinal soup every day. Even if he closed his business for a day or two, no one would suspect anything.

After the two made their agreement, Mo Lan left and found an inn near the escort agency to stay overnight.

After a quick dinner, Mo Lan went to Tie Niu's backyard again. Unlike before, this time she was carrying a burlap sack.

"Let's get this done for tonight. If you need any help, just let me know."

Tie Niu looked at the silver bricks in the sack, his face twitching. "I'm used to being alone."

Although melting silver is not a glorious thing, it is a skill passed down from his master, and naturally he cannot easily reveal it.

Mo Lan looked at him and instantly understood, "Okay, I'll come over at 3 AM."

As she left the courtyard, Mo Lan glanced back at the dilapidated building behind her.

"Tomb Spirit, summon a few ghost spirits to guard the courtyard and prevent anyone from getting close."

"Yes, boss." The tomb spirit replied and used a summoning spell to lure the ghosts that were wandering nearby to guard it.

Mo Lan watched as the misty courtyard slowly disappeared before turning to leave.

Standing on the wall of the Lion King Escort Agency, looking at the lights on in the hall, Mo Lan lightly leaped and hid by the window.

Before he could find Zhou Bo, he heard a discussion inside the room.
