Zhuang Le returned to his room, but instead of sleeping, he took out a small notebook, about the size of his palm, and a pencil, and began to write down accounts in it, stroke by stroke.
After finishing writing it down, she sighed, "So many favors, how can I ever repay them all?"
Today I went shopping with two rich women and learned what it means to be rich. They casually spend tens or hundreds of dollars at a time.
Compared to them, she's really poor.
Buying medicine for the old man, earning a living, and repaying favors—the pressure is immense.
No, I need to think of a way to make a lot of money.
She refused to believe that Zhuang Le couldn't live a good life without relying on men or her heartless parents.
Thinking of Lu Feng at the black market last night, she smiled.
That kid seems easy to fool. Why not sell him something and scam him out of some money? Oh no, I mean, make some money.
And so it was decided happily.
Zhuang Le happily closed the notebook, tucked it under her pillow, snuggled into the covers, and drifted off to sleep.
Lu Feng was looking at the account book at the table when he suddenly felt as if a hundred insects were gnawing at his body. He clenched his fists and endured the pain. In no time, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Upon seeing this, Ma Zi, who was just coming in to deliver the account books, hurriedly ran over, "Master Lu, what's wrong?"
Lu Feng opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word. His face turned deathly pale as he fainted.
"Master Lu!" The pockmarked man was terrified and quickly sent someone to fetch a doctor.
Soon, a doctor was called over, but couldn't find anything wrong.
Lu Feng slowly woke up and saw Ma Zi and the doctor. For a moment, he didn't know what had happened.
"Master Lu, you just fainted. What happened to you?" Pockmarked man asked anxiously.
Lu Feng remembered and said, "I suddenly felt like countless insects were biting inside my body, and the pain was unbearable."
“Mr. Lu, I’ve never heard of this disease before. Perhaps you should consult someone else?” The male doctor surnamed Liu wiped his sweat.
Both times he sought treatment for this strange illness, his business was practically ruined.
Lu Feng was no longer feeling unwell, so he had Ma Zi pay the medical fee and send the person away.
Feeling bad, Dr. Liu left some painkillers for Lu Feng so he could take some when the pain became severe.
"Master Lu, what exactly happened?" After seeing the man off, Ma Zi turned back and asked worriedly, "You've always been in good health, how could you suddenly faint from pain?"
When Master Lu was young, he suffered from a serious illness, but he recovered. Over the years, he has been practicing kung fu and his health is excellent. He doesn't even catch a cold all year round. How could he suddenly get such a strange disease?
Lu Feng sat up, rubbing his throbbing temples. "It must have been that girl from last night who did it."
"Didn't Master Lu say she wouldn't kill you? How hard did she have to hit you to make you faint from the pain?" Pockmarked man said, hands on his hips. "As expected, a woman's heart is the most vicious! I shouldn't have let her go so easily!"
Lu Feng gave a wry smile.
"What do we do now? We have no idea who they are or where they live!" Ma Zi was extremely anxious.
"Don't worry, she'll come looking for me again."
He had no grudge against her; she attacked him only to protect herself.
When she left, she said she would be safe and sound within three days, and the antidote would be delivered. At the latest, she would appear by tomorrow night.
As expected, the person appeared the following evening.
Zhuang Le covered his face and head, leaving only his eyes exposed, and visited the black market once again.
This time, I didn't let Xiaobai lead the way; I came all by myself, knowing the way like the back of my hand.
Leading her into the clean room from before, Zhuang Le looked at the smiling man in front of her and said, "Well? Now you know how powerful I am, right?"
“Young lady, your methods are superb. I have learned a lot from you. Please be lenient with me.” Lu Feng bowed politely.
Zhuang Le was somewhat surprised. When her Gu worms flared up, they could cause people to faint from the pain. After suffering so much, this person could still speak to her so politely, which showed how good his character and how broad-minded he was.
