Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!

Looking away, Lin Mo asked another question:

"Does Pei Youqing know?"

"Understood. The message Miss Pei received this morning was personally delivered by Lord Pei's personal guard."

Miss Pei was in class at the time. After hearing the story, she neither cried nor made a fuss; she simply put down the chalk and went back to her room, and hasn't come out since.

After Liu Si finished speaking, he cautiously raised his eyelids and glanced at Lin Mo.

"Sir, what do you think of this matter..."

"Okay, you can go now."

Lin Mo turned and walked towards the backyard.

On the way, he was a little worried that Pei Youqing might resent him for not agreeing to help his father.

Passing through the moon gate, we walked along the bluestone path to the door of the side room where Pei Youqing lived.

The door was ajar. He pushed it open gently. The room was dark, and the curtains were drawn tightly, with only a few rays of afternoon sunlight filtering in through the gaps.

Pei Youqing sat on the edge of the bed, her hands folded on her knees, her back still ramrod straight, just like the dignified and proper daughter of the prefect she always was.

But her lips were pressed tightly together, turning white, and her eyes were filled with tears, yet she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up and saw Lin Mo. Her lips moved a few times, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Lin Mo sat down in the chair opposite her, offering no words of comfort, but simply sitting there quietly.

After a long silence, Pei Youqing finally spoke, her voice hoarse and suppressed:

"Young Master Lin, please forgive my poor appearance!"

As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks, one after another, falling onto the moon-white ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) on her knees, leaving dark water stains.

She didn't cry out loud, but her shoulders were trembling slightly, as if she was using all her strength to maintain her last bit of dignity.

She was a proud person, and even on the verge of collapse, she refused to lose her composure.

"Please accept my condolences. I also regret what happened to your father, but rest assured, I will avenge him!"

"Thank you, Young Master Lin. There's no need for revenge. Everyone has their own destiny, it was predetermined long ago!"

"After my father died, my mothers had no one to take care of them. Could we have her come and stay in Lianhai County so we can look after each other?"

Hearing Pei Youqing's words, Lin Mo patted his chest and assured her:

"Of course! Lord Pei has been very kind to me. I dare not say anything else, but in Lianhai County, I will definitely take good care of Lord Pei's family!"

"Thank you very much, Young Master Lin. But I'd like to be alone for a while, would you like to..."

"Alright, I'll be going now. If you need anything, just let the servants know."

"good!"

Lin Mo returned to the back hall and had just told Liu Si to arrange accommodations for Pei Youqing's mothers when Yue Pengniao strode in.

His usually smiling, chubby face was unusually serious at this moment, and there was a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, clearly indicating that he had rushed here at full speed.

"Sir, something has happened."

Once the Yuepeng Bird has settled in place, it doesn't beat around the bush.

My uncle...

The commander of the Hezhou Garrison and Pei Ziyu, the prefect of Hezhou, were ambushed on their way to quell the rebellion, and both died.

Lin Mo frowned. He hadn't expected that Pei Ziyu would die along with the commander. That was just too unlucky!

Both of his backers have fallen!

The Yuepeng bird took a breath and continued:

"My father just sent an urgent telegram saying that the rebels west of Hezhou are now extremely powerful and have captured several county towns. The government troops are simply unable to stop them."

He worried that the rebels would next advance eastward to Hezhou City, at which point the family fortune accumulated by the Yue family over generations would be completely ruined.

What's more troublesome is that the Yue family used to be protected by my uncle, and no one dared to touch them when they did business in Hezhou.

Now that my uncle is dead, my second brother is only a county magistrate, and we don't even know who the new prefect is. What if he's someone who's eyeing the Yue family's business and decides to target them? That would be troublesome.

So my father wants to transfer a portion of the Yue family's assets to Lianhai, along with the batch of medicinal herbs recently collected from all over the country. What do you think, sir?

Lin Mo leaned back in his chair, tapped his fingers lightly on the table a few times, and quickly made a decision.

Lianhai and the Yue family are now a community of shared interests. The Yue family's business channels and medicinal herb supply chain are crucial to Lianhai, so this asset must be protected.

"Alright! Have your father pack up all the property and medicines, and I'll have the mission bureau issue an escort mission. It'll give those martial arts practitioners who want to accumulate points something worthwhile to do."

In addition, twenty members were drawn from the Flying Tigers to assist in the escort.

"Thank you, sir!"

The Yuepeng bird bowed happily and immediately sent a telegram back.

After the Yue Peng bird left, Lin Mo went to Yang Liu's room and asked with a smile:

"Auntie, how do you feel about here?"

"It's alright, at least you came looking for me. I thought you'd run away!"

"I'm busy, aren't I!"

"Alright! Busy man! Take me back for my prenatal checkup, it's been several days already!"

She closed the ledger, supported her back, and stood up.

"I'll do it for you, won't I?"

"Oh no, that won't work, it needs to be filed!"

"Alright then!"

I'll take you home!

Lin Mo, with Yang Liu in his arms, traveled back to the main world.

"Aunt Su, take her to a prenatal checkup!"

"good!"

Su Qing stood up from her workstation and left the office with Yang Liu.

After getting in the car, Su Qing helped Yang Liu adjust the seat back, stepped on the gas, and the G-Wagon headed towards the hospital.

Lin Mo sat down on the sofa, opened his phone, and began replying to the backlog of messages.

Chen Ting sent several messages saying that she hadn't been feeling well lately and asked him when he would have time to come over and help her.

Xin Lu's messages came in quick succession. First, she reported on the payment status of the pill sales, and then she asked him when the new batch of beauty pills would be restocked. Several wealthy women had already urged him for the third time.

Lin Qingyue's message was the simplest, just one line:

"Brother, you haven't come to see me lately. Do you not like me anymore?"

It was followed by a pitiful little emoji.

Lin Mo replied to each one.

As I scrolled down, a long-forgotten name popped up.

Wang Gengsheng.

The message was sent several days ago and was politely worded.

"Lin, how have you been lately?"

Old man, I apologize for bothering you, but Dajiang Pharmaceuticals is facing some trouble and would like to ask for your help.

I would be extremely grateful if I could spare some time to meet you.

Lin Mo stared at the message, his finger hovering over the screen for a few seconds.

Wang Gengsheng is a leading figure in the field of chemistry, and the things that would prompt him to ask for help are definitely not ordinary technical problems.

Moreover, he happened to be looking to purchase a batch of pharmaceutical production lines.

For example, penicillin, alcohol, painkillers, etc.

These things are extremely profitable, with very low costs.

Moreover, the discovery of penicillin extended human lifespan by fifteen years, which was far more strategically significant than selling glassware and soap.

Lin Mo opened his contacts and dialed Wang Gengsheng's number.

The phone was answered after only two rings, and Wang Gengsheng's loud and urgent voice came from the other end, with the hum of laboratory equipment in the background.

"Student Lin?"

Oh, you finally called back!

"I'm in a real bind right now, but your call could add ten years to my life!"
