Romantic Medical Immortal-Chapter 312: The Thousand-year-old Ginseng Root Was Stolen
The box was empty!
There was absolutely no Thousand-year-old Ginseng Root that Murong Wan had mentioned.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
The next moment, Murong Wan quickly snatched the box from Yang Cheng’s hand. After checking it repeatedly, she couldn’t find any trace of the Thousand-year-old Ginseng Root. She then immediately ran to the safe and searched for a long time inside, still failing to find the ginseng root.
How could this be!
For a moment, her mindset was somewhat collapsing. Clearly, she had just put the Thousand-year-old Ginseng Root inside; how could it suddenly disappear?
Compared to Murong Wan’s panic, Yang Cheng was calm and composed, as if he had not taken this matter to heart.
"Mr. Yang, I... I’m not lying to you, I really have Thousand-year-old Ginseng Root!"
Murong Wan returned to Yang Cheng, her eyes full of anxiety, and explained.
"I know!"
Yang Cheng nodded lightly and said, "I believe what you said; you truly have Thousand-year-old Ginseng Root."
He was not intentionally comforting Murong Wan with these words.
It was just that, in the instant he received the box, he clearly felt the residual Spiritual Energy fluctuations on it. Moreover, he could confirm that the Spiritual Energy carried the fresh scent of ginseng.
Therefore, he believed what Murong Wan said.
"But, how could it suddenly disappear?"
Murong Wan stared at the box in her hand, her eyes full of confusion.
"Could it have been stolen?"
Yang Cheng asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Murong Wan fell into deep thought, her brows tightly furrowed. After a few seconds, she suddenly remembered something, raised her head to look at Yang Cheng, and said, "I remember, three days ago, my master came to see me. At the time she came, I was organizing the safe. Ever since she came that once, I haven’t touched the safe. Could it be that she took it from me?"
Yang Cheng asked, "Besides her, has anyone else entered your room?"
"There hasn’t been!"
Murong Wan almost replied without any hesitation, blurting out, "During this period, only my master has entered this room."
"Then that’s probably it!"
Yang Cheng’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He had originally hoped to obtain a few pieces of Thousand-Year Ginseng Root, but didn’t expect someone to beat him to it.
If it had been stolen by ordinary people, it would be easy to say!
But it was taken by a powerful cultivator, which made things a bit tricky.
"Mr. Yang, besides the Thousand-Year Ginseng Root, I have many other herbs, all in the safe. Do you see anything else you might like?"
Murong Wan pointed at the safe.
Yang Cheng gave a gentle nod, got out of bed, and walked to the safe. After a simple survey, his eyes flashed with a helpless expression. Although these herbs were quite rare, in his view, they couldn’t compare to Thousand-Year Ginseng Root.
"Forget it, since she took the Thousand-Year Ginseng Root, we naturally will have a confrontation. So, I will protect you!"
Yang Cheng thought for a moment and finally agreed to protect Murong Wan.
Even though he didn’t get the Thousand-Year Ginseng Root from the other party, the other person is now a ’Furnace’, with a lot of pure Spiritual Energy in her body, which is still quite attractive to him. If he can absorb it all, he will undoubtedly break through his current realm.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang, thank you!"
Murong Wan was so excited that she was at a loss for words. She quickly took out a bank card from her pocket and handed it to Yang Cheng, saying, "Mr. Yang, I know you’re not interested in money, but no matter what, you must accept this as a token of my appreciation."
Seeing the other party so sincere, Yang Cheng did not refuse and accepted the bank card. He asked, "How much money is in this card?"
Murong Wan said: "Thirty million!!"
Good heavens, a single gesture of generosity with thirty million, worthy of being a wealthy person who can open a storefront in the underground black market.
Although this thirty million doesn’t provide much help to Yang Cheng in repaying his father’s debts, having it is better than not having it. He smiled slightly and put the bank card in his pocket, saying, "In that case, I’ll accept it, thank you!"
Murong Wan said earnestly, "You’re really too polite, and I will need your protection in the future."
"Come back to me in a week, and I will help you continue to extract the Spiritual Energy from your body. However, during this time, you mustn’t engage in Dual Cultivation with other men. Also, if your master asks why your accumulation of Spiritual Energy is so slow, just say it’s because you recently picked men of poor quality..."
Yang Cheng instructed very earnestly.
"Don’t worry, I have a way to handle it!"
Murong Wan smiled and said, "Previously, my accumulation of Spiritual Energy was also slow, and I was always able to deal with it successfully."
Yang Cheng took out his phone: "That’s good. Let’s leave our contact information. You can call me if there’s anything."
After exchanging contact information, Yang Cheng got dressed and bid farewell to Murong Wan.
Murong Wan also quickly dressed and thoughtfully escorted Yang Cheng to the first floor. When she saw that Li Daniu had disappeared without a trace, Yang Cheng gave him a call and found out that the guy had already gone home and was lying in bed asleep. He shook his head helplessly.
Of course, he did not hide this from Murong Wan!
Now that they had Yang Cheng, Li Daniu was of no use to Murong Wan. In front of Yang Cheng, she tore up the contract between herself and Li Daniu.
Finally, this matter was settled!
After bidding farewell to Murong Wan, Yang Cheng returned to his rented courtyard in Yangliu Village.
A night of silence!
The next morning.
"Ring Ring Ring..."
The urgent ringing of the phone woke Yang Cheng from his dream. He answered the phone and heard an elderly voice from the other end: "Little Yang, I’m calling you so early; I hope I’m not disturbing you?"
Elder Qin??
From the voice, Yang Cheng instantly recognized whose voice it was. He smiled and said, "Not bothering, does Elder Qin have any reason for calling?"
"Last night, the antique you left at the Antique Association was successfully auctioned, and our association will take a three percent commission. I’ve already transferred the remaining money to your card. I’m calling to ask if you’ve received it," Elder Qin said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yang Cheng quickly checked his mobile phone messages and immediately saw the transfer information.
Opened it up, the amount was seventy-five million five hundred and fifty-thousand!
The commission was a full four hundred and fifty-thousand.
Yang Cheng felt a pang of regret, but after all, they were the ones who auctioned off the antique; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten the money so quickly, and he should owe them.
"Elder Qin, I have received the money!"
Elder Qin said, "That’s good. Little Yang, feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future."
"Okay!"
The two exchanged a few polite words and then hung up the phone.
Originally being awakened, Yang Cheng was somewhat displeased, but after seeing the balance in his bank card, his mood instantly improved. He then lit a cigarette and leaned against the bedside, starting to calculate his savings.
Not account knowing, but a calculation startled!
Currently, he had more than two billion of deposits.
"Wow!!"
Yang Cheng exclaimed. When had he ever seen so much money?
But soon, bitter laughter appeared on his face, even though sitting on billions of assets now, he was still far to clear the twelve billion debts of his father.
However, once the factory begins to operate, earning ten billion shouldn’t be an issue.
"Ring Ring Ring!"
Just then, Yang Cheng’s phone rang again. Upon checking the caller ID, it was Ye Ling’Er calling. He immediately answered the phone.
Soon, Ye Ling’Er’s voice echoed from the other end: "Yang Cheng, it’s been three days, you’re supposed to help me with alchemy, aren’t you?"
