Chapter 372: Chapter 268 Yang Hao is Captured (Third Update) _2

He had just heard Hong Mingsheng address this young girl as a Doctor. Could it be that she’s a practitioner of Chinese Medicine?

Upon reflection, he thought there must be other people behind her. After all, she was too young.

People always judge by appearance.

However, as a person in charge, he was exceedingly smooth and it didn’t matter to him. As long as someone paid in the end.

He nodded towards Mu Lin, "Doctor Mu." His attitude was indifferent, not as respectful and ingratiating as when he faced Hong Mingsheng; after all, this could be a big client.

Of course, Mu Lin didn’t care about these. After giving him a slight nod, she walked inside, followed by Jing Chen and Hong Mingsheng.

Seeing this scene made the person in charge somewhat surprised.

Why did he suddenly feel that amongst the three, it seemed like the young girl in the middle was the leader? Perhaps it was an illusion. Moreover, the girl seemed aloof.

It was how Mu Lin had just looked at him.

Inside, the dust was thick, and countless people busied themselves. When people came through the door, they barely acknowledged them before becoming engrossed in their work again.

The standards for this project were high, requiring both quality and speed. That’s why these past few days, everyone had been working hard to deliver the finished product on time. It was tiring, but the pay for this project was several times higher than any they had worked on before. They could even afford a good rest afterwards. Even their usual penny-pinching superintendent (the person in charge) had not cut any corners this time, which surprised the workers somewhat.

So, this had turned into their most satisfying project to date.

Since it was not completely built yet, Mu Lin just took a general look around.

Entering the door was a foyer. To the left was where the herbs were grabbed and the decoction room. On the right was a staircase leading upstairs to the various doctors’ clinic. Everything in this building was designed and decorated in a retro Chinese style.

It was clear that Hong Mingsheng had put considerable thought into it, alleviating any concerns Mu Lin might have had. Even the design was done by professional designers.

"It’s quite a nice place." Standing next to Mu Lin, Jing Chen was the first to comment.

"Yes." Mu Lin nodded, her mouth curling into a neutral smile, "Indeed, it is." She knew that the reason Jing Chen liked it was probably because the building was somewhat reminiscent of the Jing residence. Both were built in a traditional style, however, the Jing residence had been standing for a long time, while everything here was brand new, marking a clear difference.

Moreover, the Jing residence was home.

Hearing their conversation, Hong Mingsheng unconsciously sighed in relief. As long as Mu Lin was satisfied, there were no problems. He had initially thought that Mu Lin suddenly came to find him, wanted to visit the place, because there was some unexpected event or dissatisfaction.

It seemed it was a small matter after all.

In the end, Mu Lin informed Hong Mingsheng that she needed to recruit some practitioners of Chinese Medicine who could work there regularly. Age was no issue, as long as they met her requirements and understood Chinese Medicine, that was enough.

After Mu Lin and Jing Chen left, Hong Mingsheng opened the job advertisement Mu Lin had given him. Upon seeing the flamboyant characters inside, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Pleasing to the eye.

What kind of requirement was that?

Hong Mingsheng could only say that he would do his best. After all, ’pleasing to the eye’ was the hardest requirement to fulfill.

...

The sunset was as red as blood, oppressively swallowing up everything, making everyone feel heavy-hearted.

In the evening, at the same time when students were leaving school, Yang Hao had had a lot of classes today, so she had to stay at school the whole day. As always, Black Scorpion was making his way towards Yang Hao’s school.

Where he lived was quite close to the school. It was a house he had just bought recently.

However, when he was halfway there, a group of people suddenly rushed out and launched an attack on him; Black Scorpion’s brows furrowed, but he responded swiftly and easily. He wondered who these people could be. Judging by their skills, they couldn’t be from their organization. They were likely just ordinary people.

No!

Suddenly, Black Scorpion’s heart missed a beat. These people in front of him didn’t seem like they were out to kill him. Instead, it felt like they were...delaying him. They were blocking his way.

The only thing Black Scorpion could think of right now was Yang Hao.

These people were deliberately blocking him. Their target must be Yang Hao, no doubt about it. This was because, in this world, the only person he had any connections with now was her.

Could it be...Red Scorpion? Did she not die?

With these thoughts, a killing intent spilled from him, merciless and unabashed. His strikes became even more ruthless and swift. Unfortunately, there were too many of them. Even for Black Scorpion, it cost him quite some time. By the time he reached the school, he was already several minutes late, and Yang Hao, whose mere appearance used to reassure him, was nowhere to be found.

Yang Hao, please be okay!

Black Scorpion strode towards the school’s main gate. His unwelcoming demeanor caused the other students around him to fear him, and they kept their distance.

Isn’t this Yang Hao’s boyfriend? He looks...terrifying.

Just as he was about to reach the main gate, his phone suddenly rang. The caller...it was Yang Hao.

"Yang Hao," he answered the call, his voice strained, "Where are you?"

"Looks like this woman really is your true love, Black Scorpion." A woman’s teasing voice came through the phone, slow and unhurried.
