“I think handing over a few prescriptions would mean nothing to her.” Pei Rong disagreed. He pondered and added. “We have helped her as well. I don’t think it would hurt her to give us some prescriptions.”
Old Mr. Pei raised his hand and clutched his chest. He was so furious that it felt as though he was going to have a heart attack. “What have I done to deserve someone as shameless as you for a son?”
Old Mr. Pei gasped for air as he spoke. Pei Rong was worried about agitating his father, so he said softly, “Just think about it when you get back. After all, we are family. Don’t you care about my future?”
Pei Rong did not dare to continue looking at his father. Instead, he turned back and started the engine.
“If I can’t produce any ancient prescriptions, considering Deputy Chairman Qin’s personality, the entire family will get implicated if we do not help.”!!
It was a real threat. Pei Rong only just found out a few days ago that Deputy Chairman Qin was working for someone. Also, his backer was an influential man.
Old Mr. Pei narrowed his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

Meanwhile, on the other end.
After Huo Yao got home, she did not dive into her books for once. Instead, she went into a daze, sitting in the living room on the couch.
Chairman Wang was unwell and she needed to prescribe him some medicine for recovery. She tapped on her phone screen gently. She did not look for Assistant Wang this time. Instead, she swiped through her address book down to Zhuo Yun’s number and called him.
Zhuo Yun answered quickly. He was rather surprised that Huo Yao had called him personally. He answered excitedly. “Yes, Miss Huo?”
Huo Yao sat lazily on the couch with her legs crossed and her eyes lowered. Her voice was completely calm as she spoke. “Nothing much. I just need some Chinese herbs.”
Zhuo Yun hurriedly replied. “I’m not in town. You can send me the list. I can get someone else to take care of them and send them to your place.”
He was surprisingly out of town.
“Okay,” acknowledged Huo Yao as she rubbed the edge of her phone gently. She paused before she continued. “What about your boss? Is he out of town as well?”
“Uh huh. Didn’t he tell you?” blurted Zhuo Yun automatically. The moment he uttered those words, he regretted his actions and wished he could have zipped his mouth shut back there. He cleared his throat awkwardly before he tried to explain himself. “It was a last-minute decision to leave and the signal here is very poor.”
“Uh huh. I see.” Huo Yao did not continue harping on the subject.
Zhuo Yun said, “When the boss is free, I’ll make sure he gives you a call.”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Yao.
After hanging up the phone, Zhuo Yun removed the phone from his ear. He raised his hand and pressed the mike on his collar.
Sadly, there was still no signal.
Zhuo Yun went back into the tent and looked at the laptop screen.
A red dot indicating a GPS location could be seen moving slowly on the dark screen as it approached the periphery of the forest.
“When will they get out?” Zhuo Yun asked the technician sitting in front of the laptop.
The technician worked on the laptop without raising his head. “Judging from the speed, if they don’t end up getting lost, they can probably leave the forest in the next two hours.”
Zhuo Yun nodded and said, “Keep trying to fix the signal connection.”
“Uh huh.”
Zhuo Yun stood for some time until his phone vibrated. He had just received a text message.
