Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

Yu Ji turned on speakerphone.

Chen Huo could clearly hear the voice on the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Miss Yu, I am Liu Guocheng. I think there's no need to wait for the auction. I can sell this Crimson Blood Dragon Heart Lotus to you now."

Yu Ji glanced at Chen Huo, feigning confusion, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Why……"

Liu Guocheng sighed and said helplessly, "It's like this, Miss Yu, that guy Tang Chengji thinks the price is too high and doesn't want it anymore, so now I can only sell it to you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo's lips twitched slightly, and he sneered inwardly. This reason seemed reasonable, but in reality, it was full of loopholes.

He knew Tang Chengji's economic strength; even if he didn't want it, it wouldn't be now.

But it was on the day of the auction that the price became unacceptably high for him.

Yu Ji also realized that this excuse was not very reasonable, but she did not call it out and instead mentioned another person.

"Didn't Liu Pengju also want to buy it? Does that mean he's not buying it either?"

"Yes, he wants to buy it too, but he doesn't have enough cash on hand right now. He told me to wait a few days while he raises the funds, but how can I wait for him?"

"So you're short of money?" I asked with a hint of mockery. If I didn't question it and just believed the other person so easily, it would only make them suspicious.

Liu Guocheng, having anticipated this, sighed and said:

"Of course I don't lack that money, but lately I've been getting a lot of attention, and I'm not feeling at ease. I might as well sell it to you sooner rather than later."

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo gave a cold laugh.

It's perfectly reasonable that several people are vying for medicinal herbs worth millions, making them a target for attention.

If he hadn't had information about Tang Chengji, he might have been fooled by Liu Guocheng's seemingly honest words.

Yu Ji glanced at Chen Huo, decided to continue the charade, and snorted.

"Are you trying to shift the trouble onto us?"

"No, I just want to sell you the medicinal herbs, that's all, Miss Yuji, please don't misunderstand."

"I regret it now. 500 million is a bit too high. I'll only give you 400 million. Is that acceptable?"

Liu Guocheng's voice suddenly rose on the other end of the phone:

"How can you haggle like that? I just don't want to cause trouble, it doesn't mean this medicinal herb can't be sold!"

"If that's what you mean, then I'll have to think about it some more."

After saying that, Yu Ji hung up the phone.

Chen Huo was very satisfied with Yu Ji's performance; sometimes, if he didn't bargain, it would arouse the other party's suspicion.

"Young Master, what do we do now?"

"They're the ones who're anxious now, not us. Just wait patiently. By the way, hasn't the Goddess Pavilion found Wu Shuo's whereabouts yet?"

Yu Ji sighed and shook her head slightly, saying, "No, our people haven't found any trace of Wu Shuo."

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo frowned.

Such information asymmetry puts them at a great disadvantage. If they cannot fully understand the other party's background and rush into a transaction, they will definitely fall into the other party's trap.

Just then, Chen Huo's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, but when he answered, a familiar voice came through.

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Su Wanqiu, how did you get my number?"

Chen Huo asked.

His private phone number is generally unknown to most people, and he used a fake identity when checking into hotels, so it shouldn't be possible to find out about it.

"I have some connections at the bank, so finding your phone number, Mr. Chen, was not difficult at all."

Chen Huo suddenly realized what was happening.

If a bank card is linked to a personal number, and money has been deposited into his bank account, it's not difficult to find his number.

Chen Huo assumed the call was to plead for Lü Dong, so he spoke coldly:

"I'm not that unreasonable. If Lü Dong's performance satisfies me, I won't pursue this matter further."

"No, Mr. Chen, I didn't come here for that. Lu Dong deserved what he got. I don't care how you want to deal with him."

"What's the matter that you're calling about?" Chen Huo frowned slightly, asking with some confusion.

"Mr. Chen, I have obtained some information about you and feel it is necessary to inform you."

"Oh? What information?"

Chen Huo immediately became interested.

"That's how it is..."

It turns out that Su Wanqiu had recently acquired a high-end private restaurant that was on the verge of bankruptcy and sent the group's catering industry elites there to reorganize it.

Then last night they hosted a special group of guests, including Tang Chengji, so the staff took notice of the group.

Tang Chengji was, after all, a prominent figure in Jinzhou. The restaurant manager personally brought him a bottle of Moutai, intending to give it to him in order to maintain good relations with the customer.

Then I overheard some conversations at the door, which involved Chen Huo and Su Wanqiu herself.

The restaurant manager, who had been with Su Wanqiu for many years, heard that it might be detrimental to Su Wanqiu, so he secretly placed a recording device at the door to record the conversation.

Later, Su Wanqiu discovered that there was a young man surnamed Wu inside, whose status and position were extraordinary, and Tang Chengji was fawning over him like a grandson.

Their topic of discussion was how to use the Crimson Blood Dragon Heart Lotus to set a trap and wait for Chen Huo to fall into it.

Su Wanqiu learned about this last night, but she hesitated to tell Chen Huo, since it involved a power struggle between major forces, and if she was not careful, the Su family might become cannon fodder.

She didn't sleep all night because of this.

This morning, she finally made up her mind to help Chen Huo and form a good relationship with him.

"Very good. You will be glad you made this decision in the future. Now tell me exactly what they discussed."

"It's not convenient over the phone, why don't you come to my house and we can talk in person?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo frowned slightly: "I don't think that's necessary. You can just tell me directly."

Su Wanqiu chuckled and said, "Mr. Chen, you're joking. I've provided you with such important information, can't I make some requests?"

"explain!"

Chen Huo's expression darkened slightly; he felt a bit disgusted with this woman. However, considering the importance of the information, he decided to listen to her terms first.

"How can we discuss this over the phone? Let's talk face-to-face. You know me, I'm always loyal to my friends. I transferred 2000 million to you yesterday, have you forgotten? Don't worry, I won't make any unreasonable demands."

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo was slightly startled, and after a brief silence, he nodded.

"Okay, tell me where you live."

After Su Wanqiu gave him the address, Chen Huo hung up the phone and then said to Yu Ji:

"This is a scheme within a scheme. Wu Shuo wasn't using Liu Guocheng to set a trap, but rather using Su Wanqiu."

"What's going on?" Yu Ji asked in confusion.

"Because Su Wanqiu said that she transferred 20 million to me, but I only received 10 million."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ji was slightly taken aback.

His expression immediately darkened.

"Wu Shuo is a very cunning man."
