Cold sweat trickled down Mu Chu’s forehead. He attempted to free his arms but the vine bounded him extremely tight and he was incapable of struggling free.
“What exactly do you want?”
Yun Luofeng lightly kneaded her chin and asked while beaming with a smile. “Tell me, who sent you here?”
Mu Chu was startled and a trace of dismay flashed across his eyes. “You…what are you saying? I don’t know anything!”
“Previously, people from the Wu Family came to the Physician Tower and I saw the attendants around the Head of the Wu Family. However, not long ago, I saw you and one of the attendants together on the streets!”
Mu Chu lifted his head in amazement, and his expression stared unwaveringly at Yun Luofeng.
His uncle had indeed brought people to the Physician Tower and she actually remembered an attendant alongside his uncle, thus determining his identity?
This woman was truly frightful!
“That’s right,” Mu Chu bitterly smiled, “I was sent here by the Wu Family and the Head is my uncle! Many years ago, my family suffered from our enemies attack and only me and my sister escaped. In order to survive, we came to the Wu Family to seek shelter with my uncle. Against my expectations, my uncle treated us like his own children when my parents were alive but after they passed away, I had to serve as a bodyguard in the Wu Family to guarantee my sister’s livelihood!”
“This time, my uncle heard that the Physician Tower caused a huge sensation, so he pressured me to sneak in here and seize an opportunity to steal the prescriptions inside. Originally I did not agree with this behavior but ridiculously, he imprisoned my sister to force me here! As a result, I had no other choice but to come here.”
Mu Chu’s expression was of suffering. For his sister who was dependant on him, he wouldn’t hesitate even if he had to commit suicide!
“Furthermore, my sister contracted a serious illness and has to consume medicine every day. For every single day I delay in obtaining the prescription, he will delay my sister’s treatment! I am truly at the end of my rope!”
Yun Luofeng’s black eyes quietly fell on Mu Chu. “Do you think I will sympathize with you?”
Mu Chu was startled and his expression was of helplessness. He thought that by telling his story this woman would sympathize with him. Yet, he didn’t expect she would be so unfeeling.
Seems like it would be hard to escape death this time!
If he died, his sister would also die!
“Mu Chu, the matters of you and your sister are unrelated to me and I will neither sympathize nor help! I would never care about unrelated people and at the same time, I don’t require feelings like sympathy
In this world, she only cared about the people who were close to her.
Her heart was very small to the extent that she could only accommodate those around her and was unable to hold the world.
Mu Chu’s expression was anxious. “Miss Yun, I know you have the ability. I beg you to save my sister. As long as you save her, I will work torturously for you for the rest of my life!”
Yun Luofeng smiled. “With your strength, do you think you have the right to work for me?”
If she hadn’t discovered his intentions in a timely manner, who knows what kind of a mess would have resulted? Thus, she would never easily let him off.
“Miss Yun, my strength is weak and indeed, I do not have the right to work for you. However, I’m willing to use my life to hold back all dangers for you. I only beg for you to save my sister.”
A clear line of tears flowed from Mu Chu’s eyes. His expression was like an abandoned wolf cub. As he was still young, he did not have any attacking power, but once he grew up, he would surely become a ferocious beast.
