He looked at his obedient daughter and had his suspicions. Did Anran’s herbal soup play a big role in this?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Anran, where did you get the formula for your herbal soup? Your mother got better after drinking it… What other herbs were inside?”

“Dad, it’s a formula from the countryside, consisting of several wild grasses. It is mainly to cure insomnia and once mom’s sleep quality improved, her illness was reduced. Don’t worry, I will definitely make it for her often.”

Lan Anran smiled.

She could tell her father was getting suspicious. She decided to stop attracting attention to avoid suspicion.

Lan Tingyun nodded. Sometimes, local prescriptions and remedies were useful. He was pleased to have such a sensible daughter.

...

Mo Family Villa…

“Master Rong, Young Master Ze is here,” Mo San said respectfully.

“Mmh, let him in,” Mo Jinrong replied coldly.

“There’s no need, I’m here. Master Rong, you only come to me when you need a favour. Do you still need me to find Zero?”

Rong Ze wore a pink suit and had a piercing in his left ear. Even his tone was flirtatious.

“No, I know your skills are good, I want you to go fishing,” Mo Jinrong said softly.

“Fish? Your lotus pond is filled with ornamental fishes. Aren’t they poisonous?”

Rong Ze looked at the lotus pond and frowned.

“I was referring to a person, a hacker called “Q”. Find him, I need his help,” Mo Jinrong said solemnly.

“Q? I heard that he’s the third best in the world. You want to buy him off? I’m not complaining, but first you were trying to find Zero and now you want help finding Q? In the end, you haven’t found either of them. I can help you this time, but you’ll have to give me some encouragement.”

Rong Ze smiled.

“What do you want?” Mo Jinrong glanced up to look at him and asked in a deep voice.

“I… Forget it, I don’t want it. Your stare is making my hair stand on end. I can send out a reward post online. The person who finds Xiang Tian will be awarded 10 billion yuan. What do you think?”

Rong Ze looked at Mo Jinrong.

“Master Ze, I’m afraid that won’t do. Young Master Mo…”

Before Mo San could finish his words, Mo Jinrong interrupted, “Is that necessary?”

“Young Master, Xiang Tian is a mysterious being and there are many people in the world who have been wanting to know their real identity. Don’t you think Q will want to find out? If you don’t use this method, I’m afraid there won’t be a better one to attract Q. Don’t worry, when the time comes, I’ll send a pawn over and we’ll ambush him. Isn’t that better?”

Rong Ze looked at him tightly with his clear eyes. Mo Jinrong nodded in agreement.

Q was probably the only person who could find Zero.

“I heard that you married the young lady of the Lan Family. Why didn’t you tell me?”

Rong Ze was quite surprised about Mo Jinrong’s marriage. In the past, every time Mo Jinrong got married, his bride passed away. Wasn’t the new bride worried about death?

“Why would I tell you?” Mo Jinrong turned and asked.

“The outside world treats you like a ghost, so Miss Lan really can’t be an ordinary person. I really want to know what kind of person isn’t afraid of you.”

Rong Ze smiled, picked up a package of fish food, pinched some, and slowly scattered it in the pond.

“She really isn’t ordinary…” Mo Jinrong said softly.

“Master Rong, you and Miss Lan have been married for several days. Would you like to inform Old Mrs. Rong? She has been waiting to meet Miss Lan,” Mo San reminded

“Let’s wait a while longer, it’s not the right time.”

Mo Jinrong looked at the fish in the water and his gaze suddenly softened.

“Master Rong, are you worried that your identity will be exposed?” Rong Ze continued to ask sneakily.

“Some things haven’t been figured out yet, so it wouldn’t be good to meet in such a rush. Find Q soon, I really need him now.”

Since being together, he was always worried that Lan Anran had a secret. He could sense that she wasn’t ordinary. This could only be settled after his investigation was complete.

“I understand, don’t worry. I know you need him to find Zero, but why are you so sure Zero is still alive?”

Rong Ze felt that after all these years, something might have happened. Otherwise, how could there still be no clues of this person?

“I’m certain. I believe I have seen her recently…”

Mo Jinrong’s eyes deepened.

“What? You saw her? Where? Was she pretty? Is she married?” Rong Ze asked curiously.

He really wanted to know the appearance of the person Mo Jinrong had been searching for. Why was he so certain she was a female? Perhaps he didn’t have a girlfriend and felt lonely.

Mo Jinrong rolled his eyes in silence.

“I believe I saw her. I can’t think of anyone else besides her who could have saved me. It must have been her!”

After coming back from the hospital last time, Mo Jinrong had been thinking about who could have cured his stubborn illness. Lan Anran looked weak and he didn’t know her secrets, but a countryside girl probably wouldn’t know how to treat someone like him. When he was free, he would have to ask Lan Anran if she saw anyone.

Perhaps, Zero had come to his rescue!
