“Save him.”
Fu Jingshu only had two words.
But the oppressive atmosphere in the room made them dare not even breathe heavily. The doctor repeatedly assured them, “Don’t worry, although it can’t be completely cured yet, the young master will be fine.”
After a period of rescue, Fu Jingshu also donated blood. Seeing Shen Jinxi’s complexion visibly improve, he then discarded the alcohol swab on his arm.
Lin Mo saw this and sighed inwardly, “Master Fu, I’ve received some news.”
“Speak.”
“It’s about the young master.” Lin Mo had been investigating under Fu Jingshu’s orders, searching for any special medicine that could completely cure the young master’s illness. He was here today for this very reason. “There’s a rumor that there’s a special medicine in the black market.”
Fu Jingshu slightly raised his gaze and checked the time.
It was exactly six o’clock.
Lin Mo said, “The black market opens at eight. If Master Fu wishes to go…”
Before he could finish, Fu Jingshu gave him a cold look, as if he were looking at an idiot. Lin Mo immediately felt that he had asked a superfluous question.
Anyone could tell that Master Fu would definitely not give up on the special medicine.
“I’ll go arrange it now. I’ll pick you up at eight.” After saying that, he quickly slipped away.
By eight in the evening, nightlife was just beginning.
In a skyscraper in the bustling city, the lights were bright. There were song and dance performances in the hall, and people came and went, making it extremely lively. However, the people who came here were different from those in other places.
They all wore masks.
The masks were of various types, including animal masks and those of devils and Rakshasas.
Shen Qingqing followed King, listening to him introduce the black market. “This black market has existed for a very, very long time. No one knows who its owner is. Here, there’s nothing you can’t buy if you can imagine it.”
“That magical?”
“You’ll know soon enough.”
The two entered, but they didn’t notice two tall men wearing pure black masks walking in behind them. The man in the lead’s gaze fell on Shen Qingqing.
She seemed lost in thought, pretending to adjust her skirt, and glanced back.
This person… looked somewhat familiar?
She dared not believe her guess. Why was he here?
“What’s wrong?” King noticed her oddity and asked.
“Nothing.” Shen Qingqing seemed to be surveying the surroundings, but she unnoticeably linked her arm with King’s and moved closer to that person. That person seemed uninterested in her, merely glanced over and started talking to the man behind him.
And upon hearing this person’s voice, she was certain.
Although this person had deliberately lowered his voice, and his voice even sounded a bit hoarse, she still recognized him. It was indeed Fu Jingshu.
And behind him, as expected, was Lin Mo.
What were these two doing here?
“Darling,” King suddenly spoke from beside her, “you seem very curious about that man.”
Shen Qingqing started and said softly, “Perhaps an old acquaintance.”
“Do you want to say hello?”
“No.” Shen Qingqing had no intention of catching up here. “Not only can’t we go, but he can’t discover me. Master, you know what to do, right?”
King helplessly put his hand to his forehead. “I know. From now on, I am your devoted boyfriend.”
He took Shen Qingqing’s hand, which was in his arm, and held it in his palm. His previously nonchalant attitude instantly shifted to that of a deeply devoted boyfriend to a nervous girlfriend.
Shen Qingqing’s mouth twitched as she looked at her hand. “You don’t need to get so into character.”
“If I don’t, how can I fool your old acquaintance?” King tilted his head slightly and whispered into her ear, “Don’t move at all. Your old acquaintance is watching you right now.”
Judging from that dark, deep gaze, he was definitely not a pushover.
King tutted. “When did you provoke someone like this?”
The corner of Shen Qingqing’s mouth curved slightly under her mask, her smile exceptionally radiant. “There’s no other way. My charm is too great, and I have many admirers.” httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
King looked at her in surprise. “Your skin has thickened.”
“It’s all learned from you,” Shen Qingqing retorted cleverly. “As the saying goes, a teacher’s influence is evident in their student.”
King chuckled. “Impressive. Your mouth is truly like a sharp knife now.”
Lin Mo saw Master Fu staring intently in one direction and couldn’t help but look over. He raised an eyebrow at the figure. “That looks a bit like Miss Shen.”
Fu Jingshu suddenly looked at him, his gaze so sharp that it startled Lin Mo.
“Master Fu, w-what is it?”
“You think she looks like Shen Qingqing too?” he asked softly.
“She does,” Lin Mo glanced at the woman again. He saw her say something to the man beside her, who seemed to smile very happily and even reached out to touch her face. He immediately said, “But it’s definitely not her. Miss Shen is not that kind of person. It’s impossible for her to be seeing two people at once. Besides, there’s no reason for her to be here.”
Fu Jingshu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his doubts gradually faded.
Worried that he might misunderstand, Lin Mo quickly reassured him, “It’s definitely not Miss Shen. Don’t worry, Miss Shen is probably sleeping at home right now.”
Fu Jingshu’s face, hidden by the mask, was filled with indifference. Upon hearing this, it gradually softened. “Well said.”
Lin Mo chuckled and secretly wiped his forehead. The crisis was finally averted. Given Master Fu’s personality, if he truly misunderstood Shen Qingqing appearing here and being so close to another man…
He dared not imagine what Master Fu would be like if he were jealous.
He would probably tear down the entire black market.
The song and dance performances in the hall were just the opening act. The real feast was on the lower ground floor. Shen Qingqing and King were led by staff into an elevator and descended to the underground level.
Here, there were rows of black windows on both sides, each with a label.
Information, population surveys, hired assassins, special medicine…
They sold everything. It was truly as King had said, there was nothing you couldn’t buy if you could imagine it.
The first window on the left was the information window, and the second window was for special medicine.
Shen Qingqing, who had initially headed towards the information window, changed direction and went to the second window. She lowered her voice and asked, “Do you have any special medicine for congenital anemia?”
Information could be bought later, but the medicine, if missed, would be gone.
A hoarse voice came from inside. “Yes.”
“Get out of the way! I’m buying medicine!”
A man who had just arrived next to them also wanted to buy this special medicine. Upon hearing this, he immediately tried to cut in and snatch it, completely disregarding Shen Qingqing, a woman.
King stepped back and watched with amusement as the burly man lunged at his little disciple.
Shen Qingqing, without looking back, grabbed the man’s hand and kept her eyes on the counter. “I want one, no, two. How much?”
“Three million each.”
Without hesitation, Shen Qingqing was about to take out her card when the man she was holding, enraged, broke free of her grasp with a roar.
Shen Qingqing frowned. The man roared, “Bitch, you dare to compete with me? I’ll kill you!”
Everyone watched with a bit of unease. The man was tall and sturdy, while the woman looked slender and weak. A single punch from him could probably kill her!
Just then, Fu Jingshu arrived with Lin Mo.
The man’s fist, like a sandbag, whistled through the air. Shen Qingqing dodged to the side. Unexpectedly, the ring on the man’s middle finger snagged the ribbon connecting to her mask.
The ribbon loosened, and the mask slid off her face, falling to the ground with a clatter.
