Xu Xingguang didn’t directly answer Cheng Xizhou’s question.

She smiled as she handed the warmed milk to Cheng Xizhou, patted her shoulder, and said, "Focus on your acting, don’t ask too much about other things."

Cheng Xizhou took the milk and said mysteriously, "I know, the more I know, the more I’ll have to worry about my life, right?"

Xu Xingguang: "..."

"We’re in a law-abiding society now, we’re all civilized people who abide by the rules. You don’t have to think of me as so fierce and ruthless."

Cheng Xizhou looked embarrassed and quickly left with the milk.

After Cheng Xizhou left, Xu Xingguang drank her glass of milk, then walked towards the study in the suite.

She turned on the computer, logged into Lanzhong Auction House, and listed several new herbs for sale.

After finishing all this, she opened the private message section.

Having not logged into Lanzhong Auction House for several months, she found over a thousand private messages waiting for her. Xu Xingguang scanned through them quickly, choosing a few messages from strangers with a sincere attitude to reply to.

After replying to the fourth person’s message, the system again alerted Xu Xingguang about a new private message.

She finished replying to others’ private messages, then exited the main page and opened the new unread message box. She saw that the stranger who sent her the message was named ’Persistently’.

Xu Xingguang was somewhat sensitive to the word ’Heng’, she lightly furrowed her brows and opened the message box.

Xu Xingguang saw the message was written sincerely:

Respected Medicine Farmer Star, I am Jiang Heng, the Young Master of the Jiang’s consortium in West Continent City.

My lover suffers from aplastic anemia and possesses a rare P blood type. After years of battling, her condition was initially under control but has unexpectedly relapsed recently.

I heard that Medicine Farmer Star is a miraculous doctor and can treat difficult illnesses. Jiang Heng wants to invite Medicine Farmer Star to come out and treat my lover.

If you could lend a hand, Jiang Heng would do everything in his power to repay your kindness.

Looking forward to your reply, Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng’s message seemed sincere but did not mention how he had harmed other innocent women to save his lover.

He is still cunning.

After reading the message, Xu Xingguang only wanted to smoke a cigarette and sigh: You damn well got what you have today.

But she doesn’t smoke.

Xu Xingguang picked a purple-black grape from the fruit bowl on the table, eating as she replied to the message: [Here’s a challenge for you. If you find a satisfactory answer, I will treat your lover.]

Jiang Heng constantly had people watching Medicine Farmer Star’s movements.

When he realized Medicine Farmer Star, who had disappeared for months, finally logged into Lanzhong Auction House and listed new herbs, Jiang Heng immediately sent the pre-written message to Medicine Farmer Star.

Not only that, he also had hackers track Medicine Farmer Star’s IP address.

But frustratingly, Xu Xingguang’s IP was protected by a vast firewall. Some of the defenses came from Xia Country’s military, others from more mysterious hacking experts.

The hacker he hired couldn’t find Medicine Farmer Star’s exact location at all.

Realizing the only way to contact Medicine Farmer Star was through the Lanzhong Auction, Jiang Heng found himself led by Xu Xingguang with no choice.

Therefore, upon receiving Medicine Farmer Star’s reply, Jiang Heng hurriedly replied: [Please tell me.]

Xu Xingguang quickly typed on the keyboard, responding with three words: [Rashomon.]

Seeing Medicine Farmer Star’s reply, Jiang Heng’s pupils trembled, and his mind was suddenly filled with countless bloody images.

Rashomon.

Many years ago, he was kidnapped and imprisoned by Rashomon, kept hungry and cold in a sealed cave.

He nearly starved to death.

If it weren’t for Bai Xuan feeding him her blood, he would have died.

He always thought Bai Xuan was dead, until 12 years ago, he unexpectedly reunited with Bai Xuan, who was then a college freshman, discovering that Bai Xuan had luckily escaped and survived back then.

Meeting his lifesaver again, Jiang Heng wished he could present all the treasures of the world to Bai Xuan.

Everyone wondered why he was deeply devoted to Bai Xuan, it was because Bai Xuan risked her life and shed all her blood for him early on.

Staring at the private message with the words ’Rashomon’, Jiang Heng’s gaze turned ominously dark.

The Rashomon base was leveled 12 years ago, and the Sect Leader along with numerous aides were buried beneath the snow-capped mountains.

The only ones left alive were a few insignificant subordinates.
