Chapter 757 Who is that man?

No matter how much commotion the Chen family caused, Su Nanxi had no interest in paying attention!

She's very busy!

At a time like this, who has time to meddle in other people's business!

"Xiao Wu, what's going on?" Su Nanxi leaned against the second-floor window and looked out.

Xiao Wu had just returned and was extremely thirsty. He didn't have time to answer Su Nanxi's question. He poured himself a few cups of tea and gulped them down. He drank three cups before he felt refreshed!

It's so hot today!

After setting down his teacup, Xiao Wu adjusted himself before coming over. "Prices in town keep rising, and the government seems to be trying to intervene, but the effect isn't ideal! There are still refugees pouring in from the south, and it looks like there will be even more in two days! Su Su, I've done everything you asked me to do, so don't worry! We made preparations in advance, so the impact won't be too great!"

Su Nanxi nodded, without turning to look at Xiao Wu. She seemed very interested in something outside and casually asked, "Are there any unfamiliar faces in town who aren't refugees?"

The town did not allow refugees to flood in. Many people who came from the south went to visit their relatives here if they could find them. Those who could not find their relatives could only go to the village to find a way to survive.

However, Su Nanxi just seemed to have seen unfamiliar faces who were not locals. They were accompanied by attendants and were not walking in a hurry, so they did not seem to be refugees!

She just asked the question out of the blue.

Xiao Wu didn't think it was a casual question. He felt that Su Nanxi asked it on purpose because Su Nanxi had previously told him and Xiao Han to pay more attention to outsiders, especially those from the capital!

So, Xiao Wu thought Su Nanxi was asking about this. He pondered for a moment, "Su Su, we haven't found that yet! If there were, it should have arrived around this time, and I just happened to be out of the way!"

He was very busy, but he remembered very clearly that no one from that side showed up!

Regional differences and wealth disparities can be roughly discerned from a person's outward appearance. Even when disguised, there are still significant differences in a person's temperament and aura!

Su Nanxi didn't say much. If it wasn't true, it wasn't true. Maybe she just misread it!

With so many people on the street, it's not impossible for your eyes to get overwhelmed!

So she stopped asking questions, but when she saw the same person again on the street, she wanted to investigate further!

"Xiao Wu, be careful when you follow that man up ahead, and investigate him!"

Su Nanxi turned her head and whispered to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu immediately got into the swing of things, nodded in agreement, and then quietly followed them.

When he finally saw the man's true face from the shadows, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood why his master had made him follow!

Because the man's eyes looked very much like his master's!

He had a bold guess in his mind: Could this person be someone related to his master?

He must be quite young. Although he had done a very good job of disguising himself, he still saw through him at a glance!

The clothes look ordinary, but the materials are actually quite sophisticated, indicating that the family is definitely well-off!

Coming to this remote and impoverished area, and deliberately concealing their identity to avoid being recognized, they must be up to something shady!

No, it could also be that they don't want to reveal their whereabouts and be discovered by the enemy!

Forget it, they're not ordinary people's families anyway!

There are always so many problems in wealthy families!

Xiao Wu muttered to himself as he followed closely behind!

The man was accompanied by two other people. All three were dressed as elderly men, with white beards, bent over, and walking with difficulty.

"That man seemed to be of high status and wealth. He came to this remote place to inquire about things. Although he hid it well, I still discovered his true purpose! He stayed in the teahouse for a long time, subtly getting the people there to talk about the women who had been implicated and sent here by the government last time! He seemed very interested in those women, always looking for something unusual. Like whether anyone made a big fuss, whether anyone claimed there was a mistake, or whether anyone was injured!"

After Xiao Wu returned, he immediately told Su Nanxi what he had seen and heard.

Su Nanxi lowered her eyes and covered them. Xiao Wu didn't know what she was thinking and thought that he hadn't investigated in enough detail, so he frantically searched his memory!

"Oh! By the way, Su Su! I almost forgot to tell you, that man seems to be unwell, he seems very ill. He doesn't talk much, and when he does, he gets very breathless! I was worried he might collapse at any moment, and the two people next to him were quietly supporting him! They were all pretending, so I couldn't tell if he was sick or poisoned or something! I'm only sure that the man is in very poor health, he has to slow down after walking a few steps!"

Su Nanxi fell silent again, lost in thought.

Her first guess was whether that person was someone related to the original owner of this body!

The moment I saw him, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and closeness!

She was certain that these emotions and feelings were not hers!

Then there's only one possibility: it belongs to the original owner!

The original owner's residual consciousness was still present, and only by sensing something familiar did he react in this way!

They must have had a very good relationship with the original owner!

After listening to what Xiao Wu said, Su Nanxi found it hard to calm down and felt inexplicably irritable. But her period wasn't due yet, so there was no reason for her to be irritable so early!

I'm having a hard time controlling myself!

She didn't say she wouldn't investigate, the original owner was too impatient!

How can she calm down and think things through when her emotions are so volatile?

If he were truly someone from the original owner's life, she certainly wouldn't stand by and watch him die!

Perhaps it was because she heard that the man was very ill that the original owner became so emotional!

Su Nanxi had no choice but to silently say to the original owner of this body, "The matter is not clear yet, can you please calm down? I will help you after I find out the situation! If you continue like this, I will be greatly affected and may not be able to think of a good solution!"

Sure enough, before long, Su Nanxi felt much more comfortable. She was able to control her emotions, and the inexplicable irritability disappeared, replaced by a more rational attitude!

Su Nanxi was planning to meet the man that night in her true form to see his reaction, but an unexpected event occurred first.

Xiao Wu rushed over, still out of breath, "Su Su! Something terrible has happened! That man has had a relapse! We've called a doctor, but it's not working! The doctors all say only a miracle doctor can save him! Otherwise, he probably won't make it to tomorrow!"

Su Nanxi stood up abruptly. Why so suddenly?

There's no time to ask any more questions, save them first!

Su Nanxi strode out, saying to Xiao Wu, "Go and drag Old Man Lu here! Tell him that no matter what it takes, he must save this person. He can get the pills he wants at a discount, and he can have them right after it's over, without having to wait until next month!"

Xiao Wu nodded seriously, agreed, turned around, and quickly disappeared down the street.

Su Nanxi instructed Xiao Han to fetch the pills, while she herself secretly went to the inn where the man was staying.

"Really? You're not kidding me? Then what are we waiting for!"
