Li Huashi simply decided to go see Master Jiu first.

The time and place were noon as Mr. Jie Jiu had arranged to meet, in a famous restaurant in Changsha.

When Li Huashi went to the banquet, Deputy Commander Song was guarding outside the door with a group of soldiers. Li Huashi took Liu Ye into the box.

As soon as she entered and saw the people inside, Li Huashi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

In addition to Master Jie Jiu, there are also Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong, but it’s not really surprising.

Master Jiu stood up and invited the two to sit down: "Miss Hua, Master Liu, welcome, please take a seat."

Although Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong were stunned for a moment, they stood up and greeted the person.

Li Huashi greeted everyone with a smile.

Mr. Jie Jiu had seen Li Huashi's face when she got off the car and checked into the hotel. At that time, Li Huashi also saw Mr. Jie Jiu.

But at that time, someone who remembered that he had done bad things with this face just gave a meaningful smile to the former victim and did not say hello.

Er Yuehong and Zhang Qishan remembered that Li Huashi knew how to change her appearance, so they were able to accept the fact that Li Huashi's current appearance was different from before.

After Jiuye Jie and the others sat down, they called Li Huashi and said, "Miss Hua, Sixth Master, these are the crabs that were just caught today. They are also the signature dish here. They are drunken crabs made with the best daughter's red wine. Come and try them."

Drunken crab?

Li Huashi smiled and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, Master Jiu. Unfortunately, I am allergic to crabs and cannot eat them."

When Sixth Master heard this, he curled his lips and chuckled calmly.

Some cunning guys say they can't eat crabs even though they clearly can't drink alcohol.

When Master Jiu heard this, he asked someone to bring some other dishes.

"I hope you can forgive me for my poor hospitality. I didn't know that Miss Hua couldn't eat crabs. Miss Hua, try these. They taste very good. Mr. Liu, try some too."

Li Huashi glanced at Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong. The two of them seemed to be keeping their composure.

Master Jiu: "I can't believe it. A few months ago, Miss Hua was just Master Liu's new apprentice. Now, she has transformed herself into a popular figure in Shanghai. She is truly extraordinary."

Li Huashi smiled proudly: "Haha~ Of course, otherwise why would Sixth Master take me in as his apprentice just by looking at me? Hahahaha! I knew I wasn't an ordinary person!"

Sixth Master: ... getting carried away.

Mr. Jie Jiu and the others looked at each other. They didn't expect Li Huashi to have this kind of personality.

The few people who had originally thought that the other party was very capable and had not dared to let their guard down easily breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the other party is just a young girl after all. Although she is a little smart, she should not become an enemy.

Master Jiu Xie: "Speaking of which, we are actually acquainted with each other. I am a little curious about Miss Hua's true appearance. Is it like this now? Or is it like Miss Bai before?"

Li Huashi smiled and pretended to be stupid: "Master Jie Jiu invited me to dinner today, so you only wanted to ask this? Then Master Jie Jiu is really too polite. If you want to know, you can just ask me on the phone."

Master Jie Jiu pushed his glasses and chuckled, "I was just asking casually. It doesn't matter if Miss Hua doesn't want to answer. But speaking of it, Miss Hua's face does look familiar to me."

Li Huashi raised her eyebrows and said teasingly, "Look familiar? Hahaha, Master Jie Jiu, is this a new way of chatting up people that he learned from abroad? I heard that Master Jie Jiu has many wives and concubines. Could it be that Master Jie Jiu says every pretty girl looks familiar to him?"

Mr. Jie Jiu understood that Li Huashi wanted to completely clear herself of what she had done in advance.

Now that she dares to show up with this face, she will definitely not admit what she did.

Given Li Huashi's current background, Mr. Jie Jiu really has no way of asking her for justice for what happened back then.

Of course, Master Jie Jiu was just testing the waters, and now he had figured out what Li Huashi meant.

Master Jie Jiu understood that the other party would rather say black is white and would never admit what he had done.

He can refuse to pay his debt without batting an eyelid, and still appear in front of him with this face. If nothing else, he is at least brave enough and thick-skinned enough.

In order to prevent the other party from turning around and accusing him of frame-up and slander, Mr. Jie Jiu decided not to mention the past anymore.

Master Jiu laughed and said, "How dare I, how dare I, Miss Hua is a very popular figure in Shanghai. You know, everyone is now speculating where Miss Hua got the medicine from, and whether she has other magical medicines."

Li Huashi sighed, "Master Jie Jiu, you are making fun of me. Everyone knows that all the imported medicinal materials in Shanghai are tightly controlled by you, Master Jie Jiu. How can I have any medicine in my hands?"

Mr. Jie Jiu paused. He seemed to feel that Li Huashi's words were hinting at him that he had to give up Shanghai's imported medicinal materials business so that she could have the medicine.

But Mr. Jie Jiu was afraid that Li Huashi didn't have the medicine, or that she had the medicine but pretended not to have it.

But when I said I was willing to give up the line of imported medicinal materials, someone shamelessly took the benefit but did not provide the medicine.

During the brief time he spent with someone, Mr. Jie Jiu didn't think that Li Huashi was incapable of doing such a thing.

Because Li Huashi doesn't do things by the rules, Mr. Jie Jiu is in a difficult position.

His eyes couldn't help but look at Zhang Qishan and the other man. Zhang Qishan paused and decided to play a straight ball.

"Miss Hua, Sixth Master, we just want to save Second Master's wife. Any medicine, any method will do. If Miss Hua can help, we are willing to agree to any request."

Li Huashi frowned. It was Zhang Qishan and the others who wanted a favor from her, so what was the point of calling Sixth Master?

At this moment, she regretted bringing Sixth Master along to have a free meal. What if Sixth Master showed mercy?

Before the Sixth Master spoke, Li Huashi immediately said, "Master Zhang Dafo, Second Master, Ninth Master, to be honest, Second Master spent all his family wealth to save his wife. He is so affectionate. As a woman, I envy him very much.

Second Master and Sixth Master are both from the Nine Gates. Actually, if I can help, I really want to help you, but I really have no medicine in my hand.

In fact, my current foundation in Shanghai is not stable.

This time when I went back to Changsha, you saw that the person who followed me wherever I went was the deputy commander of the army next to me.

On the surface, he was sent by the higher-ups to be responsible for my safety, but in reality, he was sent by the higher-ups to monitor me.

The purpose of the higher-ups is the same as yours, they all want to know if I still have any medicine.

On the surface, I had a great life in Shanghai, but in reality, I didn’t even have personal freedom.

The reason I was able to successfully leave Shanghai and return to Changsha this time was because I told my superiors that the origin of my medicine was related to the Japanese experiments in the Changsha mines. That’s how I was able to return.”

Sixth Master: ...
