A few minutes later, Xu Huan and Mo Wu had finished arranging everything. They returned to room one and signaled Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu to leave.
Unexpectedly, before the four of them could get up and leave, an unexpected guest arrived in the private room.
A middle-aged man in a customized suit stood politely at the door of the private room. He raised his hand and gently knocked on the wooden door of the private room. He asked in a low voice, “Ms. Mo, may I come in?”
When she saw that the person who came was the Gao family’s master, Gao Rong, Mo Zhu’s eyes darkened and she raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Alright, come in if you have something to say.”
After receiving the girl’s approval, Gao Rong casually closed the door of the private room and quickly walked two steps to the table. He raised his hand and handed a bank card to Mo Zhu.
This action confused the four of them. Mo Zhu stuck her hands in her pocket and stared straight at the man in front of her. She asked unhurriedly, “Mr. Gao, what do you mean by this?”
When Gao Rong heard this, he bowed lightly to Mo Zhu and said respectfully, “Ms. Mo, this card contains the one trillion yuan that you spent when you auctioned your first spirit herb. The Gao family has transferred the money you have paid into this card. If you don’t mind, this money can be treated as what the Gao family is offering sincerely to make friends with you.”
When Mo Zhu heard the man’s words, she couldn’t help but chuckle. She directly pointed out the thoughts in Gao Rong’s heart without giving him face. “Why? Did you not expect that someone would really pay a high price for that herb? Are you suddenly changing your mind now?”
Gao Rong’s expression froze when he heard this. He understood that Mo Zhu was not easy to fool, so he did not hide it. He sighed and explained bluntly, “Ms. Mo, don’t misunderstand. I have no other intentions. To be honest, the spirit herb you bought is called the Soul Returning Herb. This herb is too precious, and I had no choice but to resort to this.”
Seeing that the four people in the private room were staring at him expressionlessly, Gao Rong pinched the space between his eyebrows and continued helplessly, “Everyone, you might not know this, but this spirit herb is a treasure that the Gao family has kept for many years. According to rumors, only two stalks have been successfully planted in H Nation in the past hundred years. One of them was in the hands of a medical sage, and the other was obtained by my second uncle by chance. That’s why it has been kept in the Gao family until now.”
After a pause, Gao Rong quietly and secretly observed Mo Zhu’s expression before adding, “That medical sage was originally my second uncle’s best friend, but for some reason, he lost contact with him in the past few years.”
“Before this auction started, my second uncle specially sent me an email asking me to take out the Soul Herb this time and auction it on the spot. If a doctor who knows his stuff offers a high price for this spirit herb, he will definitely want me to return the full amount to you after the auction ends. He also said…”
Mo Zhu knew that there would be more to it. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and raised her eyebrows as she asked, “What else did he say? He even said that he wanted to meet me?”
Gao Rong was so shocked when he heard this that he raised his head to look at Mo Zhu. He suddenly nodded his head twice. “Ms. Mo is indeed as accurate as a god. My second uncle said that he hopes to meet you when he has the chance.”
Mo Zhu zipped up her coat and lowered her head slightly. No one knew what she was thinking about. A moment later, she raised her eyes coldly and looked back at Gao Rong. “If I don’t want to see that second uncle of yours, do you think the Gao family will take back this spirit herb? The auction has rules. The Gao family can be considered a prestigious family in Beijing. You won’t break your promise over such a small matter, right?”
Gao Rong was so frightened by Mo Zhu’s words that he did not dare to breathe loudly. He immediately waved his hand hurriedly and explained loudly, “If you refuse, I will definitely not force you. This medicine is naturally yours. However, my second uncle has repeatedly emphasized that I can’t accept your money. I hope you can accept this card. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t have the face to return to the Gao family..”
