Chapter 181: Never Seen Such An Advanced Poison

Huo Yao’s desktop screen was rather empty, and barely any software had been installed on it. She clicked on a water drop shaped icon, and a login popup instantly appeared there.
She entered her password and clicked on the okay button. Something similar to an average instant messenger interface popped up.
Shortly after she signed in, the leaf icon at the corner of the interface started flashing swiftly, indicating that people were looking for her.
Huo Yao glanced at it before turning on the settings to ‘do not disturb’ mode.
She glanced through the list of people looking for her. Most of them were asking where she had disappeared to, for over a year. She did not bother to reply to any of them.
She opened a chat group in the list. There were approximately 20 people in the chat group, and about half of them were actively chatting.
Huo Yao did not go through the chat history. Instead, she typed quickly.
Medicine Pill: [Have any of you sold Wuyu recently?]
Members of this chat group hailed from all over the world. They had mysterious identities and dealt with the sale of unusual commodities.
Everyone was happily chatting until [Medicine Pill] suddenly turned up. For a moment, no one made a peep as though they were frozen.
Huo Yao looked at her screen, which appeared to be hung, and blinked in surprise. Did they forget about her after she stopped signing in during the year?
After waiting for a while, she typed again.
Medicine Pill: [?]
Everyone recovered from their shock when they saw the question mark which Huo Yao sent.
I’m That Good: [Darn! Medicine Pill, I can’t believe you suddenly came back from death after hiding from us for so long!]
Get Rich: [I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. I didn’t think it was real.]
Don’t Steal My Lingzhi: [How can the appearance of a big shot compare to that of commoners like you?]
$100 000 000 Appearance Fees: [I’m glad I didn’t go to bed. Or else, I would have lived in regret for the rest of my life!]
...
Huo Yao pressed her forehead as she looked at the chat group while everyone reeled in shock at her return.
Medicine Pill: [So can someone answer me now?]
Don’t Steal My Lingzhi: [I don’t have any Wuyu. I’ve only heard of it, but I never laid eyes on it.]
Get Rich: [I sell rat poison. I can never dream of selling something as high-end as Wuyu.]
I’m That Good: [Only a handful of apothecaries are capable of making it, so there’s barely any available for sale.]
Since none of them had dealt with Wuyu before, Huo Yao did not linger on and closed the chat group quickly.
Before long, the avatar of [Don’t Steal My Lingzhi] popped up, inviting her for a private chat. Huo Yao clicked it open.
She had known this person for a long time, and they were on rather good terms.
Don’t Steal My Lingzhi: [My friend, did you ask about Wuyu because something happened to you?]
Medicine Pill: [A friend of mine unexpectedly showed symptoms of getting poisoned by Wuyu.]
Don’t Steal My Lingzhi: [Very few people can make Wuyu. Why don’t I check with my friend who’s a member of the Apothecaries’ Association?]
Medicine Pill: [Okay, thanks!]
Don’t Steal My Lingzhi: [You’re welcome. Mind giving me your number?]
Huo Yao contemplated before sending out her WeChat ID.
Very quickly, her WeChat beeped. Huo Yao quickly verified [Don’t Steal My Lingzhi] as a friend. Then they stopped chatting with tacit understanding.
Huo Yao turned off the laptop and got up. She walked over to her wardrobe and took out the suitcase which she had brought over to the Huo residence when she first moved here.
