Chapter 284 Fainting
This is Hong Kong City, and in the Mohist School. With Huo Jinzhi's skills and abilities, no one would say anything if he was killed directly.
The person peeping was trembling, his eyes full of fear. After a long while, he trembled and said, "I... I just came to see if you need anything."
"We need human blood." Chen Zhu chuckled softly, with the coldness in her eyes unconcealed. She took out the dagger she carried with her and gestured slightly.
"Since you can't tell me who brought you here, then you can be used as a medicine inducer."
Yao Zongliang's face was pale, and he looked as if all his energy had been sucked out. People in Hong Kong have a special trust in supernatural things, and the servant who was captured had a pale face.
She still wanted to struggle to escape, but with Huo Jinzhi's ability, if he really let her go, it would be considered that he was incompetent.
"No, no, I'll tell you everything. It was Miss Wu who asked me to come over and take a look. She said that if I support Young Master Yao, she will give me 10,000 yuan."
Even in an economically prosperous place like Hong Kong, ten thousand yuan is not a small sum of money.
In addition, there are almost no conflicts and secrets among the four major families, so the maid was possessed by the devil and did such a thing.
She burst into tears, mainly because of fear: "Miss Shen, I was wrong. I will never do this again. Please let me go, okay?"
As she spoke, she even changed her posture and almost knelt in front of Shen Zhuyi.
Faced with the maid's performance, Chen Zhuyi was about to speak, but he smelled an extremely pungent fragrance, which was sticky and made people feel sick.
"The Mo family cannot keep such a traitor. Go to the housekeeper to settle the matter. We will not use you anymore."
She took several deep breaths before saying this in disgust, turning around and moving a little further away from the maid.
The maid felt dissatisfied at the appearance of being the boss, but she had to do her job properly and save her life first. She made a trembling gesture of gratitude and fled away.
"It's not a good thing for a little girl to be too soft-hearted." Old Lin witnessed everything and shook his head at Chen Zhu.
She was willing to give the person a chance to live, but the maid was more like a poisonous snake lurking in the corner. Such a person was not worthy of help at all.
"Why bother about someone you won't see again?" Chen Zhu explained, her eyes fixed on Yao Zongliang. She lowered her head and moved a little closer to him.
"If you still want the Wu Liuxing you know to come back, then you must cheer up and work with us to find the flaw as soon as possible."
"Otherwise...she will really die."
Old Lin was old and his hearing was not very good, so he could not hear clearly, but people like Huo Jinzhi were extremely cautious about everything around them, so they could hear clearly.
Although he didn't understand what Chen Zhuyi meant, he pursed his lips, didn't ask anything, and accompanied him silently.
The medicine was soon boiled. Chen Zhu looked at the bowl of medicine brought by the housekeeper, smelled a familiar fragrance, and asked a few more questions.
"Who can make the medicine?"
"Just now, a little maid came to my door on her own initiative. I thought of asking her to make some medicine. Could there be something wrong with the medicine?"
The butler paused before asking.
He is busy with all kinds of things every day, how could he be asked to do something as trivial as decocting medicine himself?
"The taste is wrong." Chen Zhu rubbed his eyebrows.
The pitch-black soup gave off a medicinal smell. Huo Jinzhi couldn't tell what was so special about it, nor could he tell the difference. He waited for her to speak again.
"That little maid still has tears on her face, right?" Chen Zhuyi asked again with a sneer.
For someone like her who doesn't hold a high position in the Mo family, there are indeed many people who dare to play tricks. The little maid also thinks that the Mo family is so big and they may not meet each other, so she doesn't want to give up such a good job.
"Yes, did she do something to offend you?" The butler nodded, figuring out something, but he didn't seem to take it to heart.
"When the eldest lady was around, she was particularly generous. Everyone applauded when they mentioned her. Miss Shen, you are the eldest lady's daughter after all. Don't you even have this little bit of compassion?"
Even though the housekeeper knew that Mr. Mo cared about Chen Zhuyi, he still had the confidence to pretend in front of her and spoke in a preaching tone.
Chen Zhu smiled coldly and walked up to him with the medicine bowl: "Drink it."
The housekeeper was still speaking at length when he was caught off guard by the order. He was stunned at first, then subconsciously questioned, "What did you say?"
Huo Jinzhi received Chen Zhuyi's eye signal, pinched the housekeeper's mouth swiftly, and forced him to drink half a bowl of medicine.
In just a short moment, the pain in his abdomen surged up, the butler's face turned pale, and he rolled on the ground in a panic, holding his stomach.
The cry of pain was loud, with some indignation and dissatisfaction towards Shen Zhuyi in his eyes.
"Miss Shen, when you act so cruelly, are you really worthy of the eldest lady?"
He still couldn't control his mouth. Chen Zhu sighed and kicked him, watching him rolling on the ground.
"What are you doing?" Mo Chengze came over after hearing some noise. Seeing that the housekeeper who had been at home for a long time was treated like this, he became furious.
"You must think clearly about the consequences before you act. I am not a good person. I will kill people without regard for your status."
Chen Zhu took a quick step back and Huo Jinzhi immediately moved forward. The couple cooperated with each other in perfect harmony, and at this moment they looked like they were ready to fight someone at any time.
Mo Chengze knew very well that with his own abilities, it was impossible for him to hurt Huo Jinzhi. It was precisely because of the anger in his heart that the rage surged and became even more intense.
"After all, he's an old man who's been at home for so many years. No matter how angry you are, you should at least give him some respect."
His voice had become weaker, as if he was aware that he lacked confidence.
"Ah?" Chen Zhuyi was extremely surprised: "Have you ever thought about how you would explain to the Yao family if Yao Zongliang died here?"
It was because of her words that Mo Chengze was able to take a closer look and determine that the half-dead thing was Yao Zongliang.
"The Mo family's steward is ignorant. Can't even someone your age distinguish between the important and the urgent?"
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chen Zhu scolded him again.
She was not close to this family, she was just doing it for convenience.
Those cold words pierced Mo Chengze's heart like a needle. His face turned ashen and he kicked the butler to vent his anger.
The force was so strong that the butler screamed in surprise and fainted.
"Since he's unconscious, go to the kitchen and get all the ingredients for cooking medicine, including the herbs. Otherwise, you'll have to explain it to Grandpa yourself."
Chen Zhuyi didn't pay attention to his little action and just gave the order as a matter of course.
