Hearing this, Wu Chengze became even angrier.

Fortunately, he hadn't lost his mind yet.

Continuing to vent his anger on the two of them would do him no good; his daughter's condition still needed their stability, so he suppressed his anger and was about to say something nice when the phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number.

Wu Chengze was in no mood to answer such a call and hung up immediately.

I had just put my phone down when it rang again.

It's the same number as before.

Wu Chengze was displeased and hung up again.

Then the other party called again.

"Things shouldn't happen more than three times," Wu Chengze thought, somewhat annoyed.

After answering the phone, he said coldly:

"Not just anyone is qualified to talk to me on the phone. You'd better come up with something that interests me, or I'll make you pay!"

"I can save your daughter's life."

Wu Chengze was stunned for a moment.

His expression immediately turned ferocious, filled with murderous intent, and he said, "You think you're that Chen Huo? You're the first person to dare to make fun of me, Wu Chengze. You're courting death!"

"Do you know about the Cold Marrow Cleansing Pill? If you don't, you can ask a professional. I happen to have one. Once you understand it, we can continue our discussion."

The voice on the other end of the phone was young and calm.

Wu Chengze was taken aback.

He quickly went through his memories, confirming that there was no information related to this pill, and then turned his gaze to Zhang Xinglin and Wu Yi'an.

"Do you know about the Cold Marrow Cleansing Pill?"

"I know."

To impress, Zhang Xinglin immediately chimed in, "This is one of the divine pills whose lineage has been severed. It is specifically for treating women's yin-cold poison. If we had such a pill, Miss Wu Yushu's illness could be completely cured."

At this point, Zhang Xinglin tentatively asked, "Patriarch, have you found out where this elixir is? It should no longer exist in the world by now."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengze took a step forward, staring intently at Zhang Xinglin, his eyes filled with anticipation as he loudly asked, "Are you sure that so-called Cold Marrow Cleansing Pill can cure my daughter's illness?"

"If it really is the Cold Marrow Cleansing Pill, I'm sure!"

"good!"

Wu Chengze called out, then looked at Wu Yi'an: "What do you say?"

Wu Yi'an glanced at the phone that Wu Chengze was still holding, and said with a thought, "Zhang Xinglin is right. If there really is a Cold Marrow Cleansing Pill, Yu Shu will be cured after taking it."

Upon receiving confirmation from the two, Wu Chengze's face broke into a long-lost smile.

But it was hidden away immediately.

He picked up his phone and asked, "Do you really have the Cold Marrow Cleansing Pill?"

After speaking, he turned on speakerphone and gestured for Zhang Xinglin and Wu Yi'an to move closer.

"I'm not stupid enough to make a joke about you, the head of the Wu family."

"Alright! Tell me, what does this pill look like, what are its characteristics, and where did you obtain it? I need to verify its authenticity before we can continue our discussion, right?"

As they were talking, Wu Chengze gave Zhang Xinglin and Wu Yi'an a wink.

The implication was that they should listen carefully.

"I don't think we need to waste time on this. Uncle Wu, why haven't you asked about my identity or who I am even now?"

The voice on the other end of the phone remained calm.

Wu Chengze frowned slightly.

Isn't it just about getting benefits? Who cares who you are?

What truth can you possibly tell me if I ask you?

Now all he cares about is whether this Cold Marrow Cleansing Pill is real.

But since the other party had said that, he casually asked a question.

"Who are you?"

"Luo Yunshu".

"Luo Yunshu? You're that old bastard Luo Tiancheng..."

Wu Chengze almost finished saying "that old bastard raised someone else's bastard," but swallowed it at the crucial moment. He then changed the subject and asked with a puzzled look:

"How do you possess such a miraculous medicine as the Cold Marrow Cleansing Pill? Why didn't you contact me before, and why did you choose this time to do so?"

He couldn't possibly be unaware of such a major upheaval in the Luo family. This event even brought a brief moment of joy to his life, which had been plunged into darkness and despair due to his daughter's illness.

Luo Yunshu escaped with her life, but was like a stray dog.

When he received the call, Wu Chengze suspected that the caller was using him to find a safe haven, and that the so-called Cold Marrow Cleansing Pill was likely just a ruse.

"How I obtained it is not important; what matters is my motive and purpose."

Luo Yunshu's tone remained calm, as if she were talking about something unrelated to herself, and she spoke unhurriedly:

"The reason I didn't contact you before was that I planned to bring it up when Yu Shu's life was truly hanging by a thread, so that I could gain your gratitude and propose to Yu Shu."

"As for the purpose, I think you know it, Uncle Wu. As you saw, all the plans were ruined by that bastard Chen Huo. I don't have the ability to kill Chen Huo, so I can only ask you to take action."

It must be said that Luo Yunshu has a knack for speaking.

Such words, which made no attempt to conceal their purpose and calculations, actually earned Wu Chengze's trust to some extent, but also made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. How could such a stray dog ​​dare to threaten me, Wu Chengze?

"So, you mean you'll only give me that pill, whose existence is uncertain, after I kill Chen Huo?" Wu Chengze snorted.

"No, Uncle Wu, I neither want to nor dare to offend the Wu family, nor do I need that elixir to blackmail you. If your daughter recovers, you will find a way to kill Chen Huo yourself, won't you?"

Luo Yunshu's tone remained calm.

This made Wu Chengze's heart tighten.

This young man is incredibly shrewd and adept at manipulating people's hearts.

That's really quite scary.

If it could be used for my own purposes, that would be wonderful.

But now is not the time to consider these things.

The thought flashed through his mind, and then he asked the question that mattered most to him: "So, you're planning to give me that Cold Marrow Cleansing Pill for free?"

"Uncle Wu, do you think this is possible?"

Luo Yunshu chuckled on the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengze was not angry at all; on the contrary, he felt much more at ease.

That's more like it.

There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

What do you want?

"Chen Huo's head!"

"……All right."

Wu Chengze chose to skip this irrelevant question and asked, "How will you give me the pills? And how can I be sure that the pills you give me are genuine? So far, you've only talked the talk, and haven't produced anything convincing."

"I will find a way to deliver the things to the Wu family. As for whether they are real or fake, do you think you would believe me so easily? Once the things arrive, you can judge for yourselves. Whether or not to give them to Yu Shu is up to you, Uncle Wu."

After saying that, Luo Yunshu hung up the phone.

Wu Chengze thought to himself, "Fortunately, Luo Yunshu is a bastard and cannot become the head of the Luo family. Otherwise, if his son becomes the head of the Wu family in the future, he may not be able to outmaneuver Luo Yunshu."

He glanced at Wu Yi'an and Zhang Xinglin, and asked solemnly:

"If the Cold Marrow Cleansing Pill were placed here, could you verify its authenticity?"
