"Come on, I'll make sure they never come back!" At this moment, Ruan Ruan possessed the calmness and killing intent of a 22nd-century special forces captain in battle. Even Huo Haocheng didn't want to see Ruan Ruan like this.
"Don't worry, I'm here. I'll always be by your side." After saying that, Ruan Ruan turned to look at Huo Haocheng. Huo Haocheng saw Ruan Ruan with tears streaming down her face, immediately stopped the car, hugged her in his arms, and gently comforted her, "It's okay, everything will be okay. They might not even come looking for us."
"No, they will definitely find this place. I knew it the moment I saw the poison. It was a trap they set to lure my master into making a move. This poison was made by my master when he was young. They knew that only my master could cure it. But what they didn't expect was that my master passed on all his knowledge to them. Back then, my master was grateful for the bond between fellow disciples and didn't kill them all. He never imagined that decades later, he would leave such a huge hidden danger. So, as his disciple, I've come to eliminate this hidden danger for him."
"I'll wait for them here. I'll be right here by your side, so don't do this. I promise they won't harm Master in the slightest, okay?" Huo Haocheng hugged Ruan Ruan tightly, gently stroking her hair with his large hand, and softly comforted her.
"Phew..." After an unknown amount of time, Ruan Ruan calmed down, let out a deep breath, and said to Huo Haocheng, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to act like this in front of you. I just couldn't help it. You didn't see how Master and Master's wife looked back then. They had it so hard."
"Sweetie, little sister, you never need to apologize to me. I know, I've always known. My Ruan Ruan is the kindest girl in the world, so do whatever you want. I'll always stand behind you. Don't be afraid." Huo Haocheng gently patted Ruan Ruan's back. This was the girl he had carefully protected. What had she gone through in the years he was away? Why were the letters she sent always filled with happiness? Huo Haocheng deeply blamed himself.
"Okay, I'm all better now. Let's go back. If we don't go back soon, we won't have lunch." After saying what she had been holding back for the past few days, Ruan Ruan felt much more relaxed. Now, she was ready to unleash her power.
"Okay, I'll cook you something delicious when we get back." Seeing that Ruan Ruan was really alright, Huo Haocheng sat up straight and drove home.
After lunch, Ruan Ruan went to sleep; she was exhausted from crying and needed a good rest. Huo Haocheng returned to the military headquarters, found Gu Wenpeng, and reported that the woman's poison had been cured. Before leaving, he asked Gu Wenpeng, "Uncle, do you know about Atractylodes macrocephala?"
Upon hearing Huo Haocheng's sudden question, Gu Wenpeng thought for a moment and asked, "Is he Ruan Ruan's master?"
Huo Haocheng nodded in agreement.
"No wonder, with such a master, it's no wonder she's such a good doctor," Gu Wenpeng sighed, then looked at Huo Haocheng and asked, "What's your grandfather's name?" Gu Wenpeng had never met Old Master Huo, but he often heard Bai Shu and Huo Jiangchun's names mentioned together; the two were practically inseparable on the battlefield.
"Huo Jiangchun," Huo Haocheng said in confusion.
"No wonder, the children taught by that teacher could never be bad!" Gu Wenpeng exclaimed.
"?"
"It's not surprising that you don't know. Back then, I was still young, and I often heard about a pair of inseparable brothers on the battlefield. I didn't know where they came from, but they were invincible on the battlefield, making all sorts of extraordinary achievements and leading their soldiers to victory after victory. But after the war, they both disappeared. I never expected that we would meet in this way."
Gu Wenpeng hadn't expected that his niece had been raised by these two men. Did those old men in Beijing know about this, which was why they made her cooperate with Ruan Ruan in doing what she wanted? No, he had to call and ask.
Huo Haocheng returned to his office in a daze, never dreaming that his grandfather had such an experience. He had only assumed that his grandfather and Master Ruan Ruan were close friends. Upon reflection, Huo Haocheng realized something was amiss; his grandfather had mentioned that he had served in the military, and so had his fourth great-uncle.
While Huo Haocheng was still trying to figure it out, hundreds of kilometers away in a deep abyss, a group of people were conducting experiments.
“bong”
"What did you say? Their poison has been neutralized? Have you found out? Is it Atractylodes macrocephala?" A woman wearing a mask and a white coat smashed the test tube in her hand when she heard the newcomer's words and kept asking.
"Master, the poison in those women has indeed been cured, but we still don't know if it was Bai Shu who did it," the woman replied respectfully.
"Investigate! I must find out who the antidote was! Bai Shu, you ruined my entire family for a vile woman! If I don't avenge this, I will have failed my ancestors!"
"Yes, Master," the woman said, and then withdrew.
"Bai Shu, I didn't expect that after all these years, you still haven't been able to get rid of your kindness. Well, that's fine too, at least I know you're still alive. Senior brother, why didn't you choose me back then? What did I lack compared to that bitch? An orphan dared to dream of joining my Miao family. Wasn't that a slap in my face? Heh, I'll make you regret your decision back then."
After the woman left, the woman stared at a painting on the wall, lost in thought, muttering to herself.
At the same time, news also arrived in the Golden Triangle that the drug village had been exposed.
"Why are you only telling me now, after all this time?" Viper, the boss of the Golden Triangle and the biggest drug trafficker, has been operating in the black market of various countries for many years and has cooperated with many warring nations.
"Boss, we just got the news too. It seems like the whole village has vanished without a trace. The village chief was supposed to deliver the poppies this week, but he never came. We sent someone to check and that's when we found out," the man replied.
"Is it clear who said this?"
"It's still unclear. There were no signs of a struggle at the scene, and all the poppies in the village are gone."
"Brother, could it be the work of the Chinese military? I heard from the brothers who came back from outside that there are 20 poisoned girls staying in the military hospital in Yuncheng. The girls in the village are usually bought from other places. Could it be that this incident exposed the location of the village?" Poison Scorpion guessed, and his guess was quite accurate.
"Go down and investigate, is this the case?" Viper thought Scorpion's analysis made sense and ordered his men to investigate the matter. If so, then the human trafficking in other villages would need to be suspended.
"Second brother, contact the Poisonous Woman and ask her if anyone can cure her poison. If so, we need to be prepared," the Viper said to the Scorpion, also worried.
"Okay, brother, don't worry, I'll go myself."
