Chapter 512: Investigate Huo Yao

Consultation fees came up to $5 000 000.
The young woman was such a money-grubber.
To begin with, no one knew whether her treatment plan would be able to treat Fang Chen.
Even if it worked and Fang Chen was made of money, she was clearly asking for an astronomical sum.
Lin Shuwen walked over to the bedside and showed Fang Chen the slip of paper containing Huo Yao’s bank account number and consultation fees.
Fang Chen glanced at him quizzically. “Huh?”
“The consultation costs $5 000 000!” replied Lin Shuwen somewhat exaggeratedly.
Pei Rong snapped out of his daze when he heard this. $5 000 000? How could she charge so much for the treatment? It was simply too much!
Even the B grade medication that he had refined could not fetch $5 000 000.
How could she charge $5 000 000 for a consultation?
Fang Chen was unsurprised and only said, “Talented people always charge more, so calm down.”
Lin Shuwen glanced at Fang Chen in shock. How could he say that when he was the one footing the bill?
Pei Rong did not want to stay in the guest room, so he nodded and said, “Mr. Fang, rest well. Since I just got back, I have some matters to deal with, so allow me to take my leave.”
Fang Chen looked at Pei Rong. He pondered before he said, “After causing inconvenience here for two days, it is time for me to leave as well.”
Initially, Pei Rong wanted to let him go, but a thought crossed his mind and he said solemnly, “Why don’t you just stay a few more days? Although Miss Huo claimed responsibility for your health, she was invited by my father. If you stay, we can help immediately if something goes awry.”
He wanted to see if this tonic was capable of helping the patient recover!
Lin Shuwen contemplated before he said, “I think Young Master Rong makes sense. Regardless of the medicine, someone has to watch out for the side effects. Moreover, what if her treatment doesn’t work?”
Even though he did not finish his sentence, everyone knew what he was driving at.
Fang Chen narrowed his eyes before he finally agreed after a long time.
Pei Rong stopped clenching his fists and quickly left the guest room.
After Pei Rong left, Lin Shuwen took a pillow and placed it behind Fang Chen’s waist as he sighed. “Now that such talent has appeared in the Pei family, he will bring great glory to the clan. Also, he will be attempting to become an advanced apothecary soon.”
Although Pei Rong was unable to help with Fang Chen’s illness, he had undeniable potential as an apothecary.
“Perhaps,” replied Fang Chen calmly. He pointed at the documents on the bedside table and gestured for Lin Shuwen to pass them to him.
“You need to rest.” Despite the words coming from Lin Shuwen’s mouth, he obeyed the order and brought him the documents. “You should spend the rest of your time here getting acquainted with Pei Rong. Since he has strong connections in the capital, it would be a real boon when you get posted there.”
The capital was a complicated place, so even with real talent, it was hard to survive without solid connections. The path to politics abounded with thistles and thorns.
Fang Chen’s hand paused as he picked up the pen and a dark look swept across his eyes. He could only get posted to the capital if he was healthy.
He shook his head before he narrowed his eyes and continued working.
Two minutes later, he raised his head and looked at Lin Shuwen as he said, “Investigate Miss Huo.”
Lin Shuwen was rather surprised by his request. “Why do you suddenly want her investigated?”
Fang Chen’s lips were so dry that they were peeling. His eyes glinted profoundly before he lowered his head and uttered two words. “Just curious.”
