The next morning, Lu An'an brought Lu Xunran to the base. Jin Yan met them at the entrance and briefly explained the situation to Lu An'an.
"After Li Hao was brought to the base, he was as tough as a turtle shell. No matter how we asked him, he wouldn't say anything. Moreover, because of the secrecy of the operation, we couldn't use torture methods, which left us at a loss for two days."
Lu An'an nodded to indicate that she understood, and followed him into the interrogation room where Li Hao was being held. Jin Fangguo was sitting inside.
After greeting Jin Fangguo, Lu An'an looked at Li Hao on the other side of the glass.
"Grandpa Jin, I'll go in and give it a try."
"Girl, what are you planning to do?"
Jin Fangguo was somewhat curious about the method Lu An'an had suggested for cracking open Li Hao's turtle shell.
Lu An'an smiled mysteriously: "It's a secret."
After saying that, Lu An'an turned and went to the other side.
Hearing the door open and seeing Lu An'an at the door, Li Hao snorted disdainfully.
"What? They couldn't get anything out of me, but they think you, a little girl, can? How ridiculous."
Lu An'an didn't want to waste words with him. After using hypnosis, she said coldly, "Li Hao, look at me."
Li Hao looked at Lu An'an with a cold smile. He wanted to see what tricks this brat had up her sleeve. Anyway, he wouldn't say anything. But as soon as he met Lu An'an's eyes, he felt as if his soul had been pulled out, and his gaze gradually became dull.
Seeing Li Hao's expression, Lu An'an knew the time was right. She glanced at the glass and asked, "Li Hao, who is your master?"
"I have no master."
"What is your relationship with Madam Lu? Who sent you?"
"Madam Lu and I are partners; we were both sent by our master."
Lu An'an frowned. How come another master has suddenly appeared?
"What are your two tasks?"
“I don’t know about Madam Lu’s mission. I only know that she was sent out by my master many years ago. My mission is to deliver the pills to the Jin family with Madam Lu’s help.”
"Where did the medicine come from?"
"The medicine was given to me by my master. I don't know where my master got the medicine from."
Lu An'an paused for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "Who is your master?"
"My master is...is..."
Li Hao's expression turned to pain, and a moment later he suddenly collapsed.
Lu An'an quickly got up, approached the fallen Li Hao, checked him over, and after confirming that he had only fainted, she stood up with sharp eyes.
Jin Fangguo and the other two pushed open the door and entered. Looking at Li Hao, who was lying unconscious on the ground, they asked, "Girl, what happened?"
Lu An'an explained, "She just fainted, it's nothing serious."
Jin Fangguo nodded, his tone revealing his curiosity: "An'an, how did you do that? How come he told me as soon as you went in?"
"Hypnosis".
Jin Fangguo suddenly realized, but was also puzzled. "An'an, you know hypnosis, why didn't you hypnotize Li Hao directly that day?"
Lu An'an: "...I forgot."
Why? Because I didn't know that skill that day!
"Hey? An'an, your hypnosis is so different from other doctors'. You don't even need any tools, you can do it right away?"
Jin Yan looked at the empty desktop, then looked at Lu An'an in surprise.
Lu An'an: ...I hate people who have no sense of boundaries!
[Damn, I forgot about that! I should have brought a spinning top!]
"I used it, you just didn't notice."
"Yeah?"
Jin Fangguo and the other man curiously looked Lu An'an over and over again, but still couldn't figure out what Lu An'an's medium was.
Looking at Lu An'an, whose forehead veins were throbbing, Lu Xunran couldn't help but laugh. Fearing that his sister might fly into a rage, he tried to smooth things over by asking, "An'an, why did Li Hao suddenly faint?"
Lu An'an breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the two whose attention had been diverted. She glanced gratefully at her third brother and said, "Someone must have hypnotized him before me and set forbidden words."
A serious expression gathered between Lu Xunran's brows. "A taboo word? Who is the master?"
Lu An'an shook her head. "No, it should be triggered whenever you ask about the master."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xunran frowned slightly and turned to look at Jin Fangguo, "Old Jin, is there any way to find out who this master is?"
Jin Fangguo pondered for a moment, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, and slowly said, "Actually, the quickest way is to bring Old Madam Lu over as well and ask her."
Lu An'an rejected Jin Fangguo's idea, "I think it might not work. Li Hao just said that he and Old Madam Lu are both this master's people. Old Madam Lu should also have taboo words like Li Hao."
Jin Fangguo also remembered this and had to give up the idea. Instead, he said, "I will try to find this master. I will let you know if I have any news."
"Okay, if there's anything else on Madam Lu's end, I'll call Grandpa Jin again."

Yuncheng.
Old Madam Lu cautiously entered the teahouse and went into an antique-style private room. Looking at the nonchalant man hidden in the shadows opposite her, a fleeting fear crossed her eyes.
"master."
A deep, magnetic voice came softly: "Hmm, how's the Lu family doing?"
Old Madam Lu flinched slightly, then feigned composure and said, "Lu An'an, that little girl from the Lu family, has been found."
The man gave a dismissive "oh," signaling her to continue.
Old Madam Lu's tone grew increasingly resentful: "That wretched girl just got home and immediately hooked up with Jin Fangguo and the Jin family's young master, Jin Yan. Jin Fangguo came to the Lu family specifically to find that wretched girl. When Li Hao and I delivered medicine to Jin Fangguo, that wretched girl was there too, and..."
