Huo Yuanchen kept glancing at his mother, but unfortunately, his lovely mother didn't give him a single extra glance.
After reviewing the information, Miss Liao looked at An Moxue and asked, "Miss Jiduo, if I'm not mistaken, you're the one who caused the current situation in the fourth family, right? Can I ask you a question? It will determine whether I help you investigate this matter. Please answer truthfully."
An Moxue looked at her and replied seriously, "Please ask."
She stared at her intently and asked, "The matter you asked me to investigate isn't particularly difficult, but you've given me such a precious medicinal jade. The value is disproportionate; I don't understand."
"It's very simple. I'm giving you this jade medicine because I personally find you pleasing to the eye and think it suits my taste. As for checking the fourth company, I'll pay them a separate commission; I'll pay half upfront." As he spoke, he took out a small paper package from his bag, containing five large yellow croakers, and placed it on the table.
Upon hearing this, Miss Liao waved her hand and said, "Okay, I'll take this order. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Don't hesitate to come to me if you need anything in the future."
"Thank you, Miss Liao."
"Don't be shy, come on, it's my treat tonight, let's just have a casual dinner at home."
Before Huo Yuanchen could recover from the shock of Yao Yu, his mother had already pulled An Moxue toward the inner hall.
Miss Liao called inside, "Aunt Wei, is dinner ready?"
"Alright, if Miss has finished her business, we can serve the food and eat now!"
"Serve the food!"
"No, wait for me! Mom, have you made my favorite dishes yet?"
"No."
"some."
Two voices came at the same time, one from Miss Liao and the other from Aunt Wei.
Huo Yuanchen caught up with his mother and complained, "You didn't even say you wanted us to stay for dinner! I was thinking of treating Miss Jiduo to a meal out!"
"I just made the decision, so what? You have a problem with it?" Miss Liao looked at him, giving him the impression that if he had a problem with it, he should just keep it to himself.
"No, I was just thinking of having the guests stay for dinner. Dinner shouldn't be too meager. Aunt Wei, how many dishes did you make? Is it enough?"
"That's enough, young master. I started preparing as soon as you finished your call." A woman in her fifties carried a plate of food into the restaurant, nodded to An Moxue, and said, "Hello, Miss."
"Please sit down, I'll go help Aunt Wei serve the dishes," Huo Yuanchen said, already walking into the kitchen.
An Moxue had already sat down in her seat.
"Just have some home-cooked food, don't be shy," Miss Liao said, already picking up her chopsticks and placing a piece of food in An Moxue's bowl.
Huo Yuanchen also came out carrying the dishes.
Several more dishes were served, and it wasn't until Huo Yuanchen sat down and picked up his chopsticks that An Moxue began to eat.
The three of them got to know each other quite well over the meal, and afterwards they drank a pot of tea.
When she came out, An Moxue fully experienced Miss Liao's forthright personality.
As An Moxue got into Huo Yuanchen's car, she still felt a little incredulous. She had actually had dinner at the home of the legendary Liao Gang leader, Miss Liao, today.
"Mr. Huo, thank you. You can park at the intersection ahead."
"Where are you going? I'll take you!"
"No need, it's a bit far and won't keep you from resting. It's more convenient for me to take a taxi."
"Okay." Huo Yuanchen didn't insist and parked the car on the side of the road.
An Moxue got out of the car and said, "See you in a couple of days."
Watching Huo Yuanchen's car leave, An Moxue also hailed a taxi and left.
In the hillside villa area, Rong Anli lay back on the sofa, his eyes half-closed, with a freshly bandaged wound on his arm and his clothes lying on the floor.
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening came from the front door.
He sprang to his feet, quickly gathered the clothes on the floor, hid behind the sofa, took out the pistol tucked into his waistband, and cocked it.
"Tap! Tap! Tap!..." The sound of high heels hitting the ground grew closer and closer.
"Come out!"
A familiar voice came from behind him, and Rong Anli asked uncertainly, "Boss?"
"Yes, it's me. Where are you hurt?" An Moxue said, turning on the lights in the room.
The sudden light allowed Rong Anli to see who it was. He came out from behind the sofa, shirtless, revealing his injured arm. He tucked the gun into his waistband and said, wincing in pain, "It's nothing, just my arm, but I don't know why, it hurts so much. It's never hurt this much before."
An Moxue noticed the unusual tone in his words and asked, "How did you get injured? Come here and let me take a look."
The two sat on the sofa, and An Moxue opened Rong Anli's newly bandaged wound.
Rong Anli looked down and saw that the wound, which had been bright red just moments before, was now swollen and tinged with black. "That's not right! It wasn't like this when I bandaged it. It just bled a little, but it wasn't black or swollen. How did it become like this in such a short time?"
An Moxue looked at the wound, then took his hand and checked his pulse. She said, "It's nothing serious. It's just a minor poisoning. I'll give you an antidote pill, clean the wound, and re-bandage it. It shouldn't be a problem."
After An Moxue finished speaking, she took out a pill from her bag and handed it to Rong Anli. He opened the package and swallowed it.
An Moxue asked, "Do you have any alcohol? Preferably strong liquor."
"Yes, boss, you wait here."
As he spoke, he went to the kitchen, took out half a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and handed it to An Moxue.
An Moxue said, "Remember, next time you get a minor injury, if possible, it's best to disinfect the wound, clean it, and then apply medicine and bandage it." As she spoke, she poured wine onto the wound, used tweezers and gauze to clean it, and he turned pale from the pain, gritting his teeth and remaining silent.
After cleaning, Rong Anli said with some lingering fear, "I thought it was just a simple knife wound, but I didn't expect there was poison on it. I didn't notice anything unusual."
An Moxue took out the wound medicine she had prepared and applied it to him, saying, "This is a poison extracted from sea fish. It is not fatal, but it can amplify the pain of the wound several times, and the wound will slowly rot and enlarge. There is no antidote. In the end, the person will be in unbearable pain and die. Don't take it lightly. Use this wound medicine for the next few days."
After bandaging it, she asked, "How did you get injured?"
"Investigating a case of trafficking in women and children, they were discovered and stabbed."
Speaking of this, Rong Anli forgot his pain and said angrily, "Boss, you probably can't believe it, those beasts bought girls with some looks cheaply from the mainland and sent them all to brothels. Some of them have special fetishes and even trafficked some little boys with red lips and white teeth. If they don't obey, they beat them with leather whips dipped in chili water, specifically targeting their backs and buttocks. Their faces are fine, and if they die, they just bury them somewhere."
"The investigation on the mainland is almost complete. They've traced it all the way to Hong Kong. I finally got a lead, but I didn't expect them to be so vigilant. I almost got caught."
"It's alright, I'm not too busy here. I'll investigate with you."
