Chapter 604: Returning the Ancient Jade to Its Owner
“We can’t let the young miss explode, right?”
The bald man said with a troubled expression as he looked at Moore. He knew the explosion’s cause, but recalling Wen Xin’s angry demeanor, he felt this explosion was just the beginning.
Seeing the bald man’s expression, Moore chuckled lightly. “Do you think we knights can decide what the princess wants to do?”
Moore patted the bald man’s shoulder reassuringly, indicating he was helpless in this matter.
On his way back to the hospital, Moore received a call from the old earl. He hesitated, unsure of the reason for the call.
“Grandfather, things are almost settled here. The princess has found who she was looking for, so there’s no need to worry,” Moore reported.
“That’s good. I called about another matter. The clairvoyant just arrived, and he said he’s found the location of the ancient jade near Nanling Road. He’s already on his way. Contact him,” the old earl said excitedly. Finding the jade was the best news he had received recently.
“Alright, I’m heading towards Nanling Road now. Don’t worry, Grandfather, I’ll get there soon.”
Hearing about the ancient jade excited Moore. He hadn’t expected it to appear in the Independent State. After last seeing Wen Xin in Ice City, he had found no further clues about the jade and thought it would never resurface.
“Drive faster,” Moore told the driver, excitement evident in his voice.
Just then, Moore’s phone buzzed with an email notification. He glanced at it briefly before closing it, everything going as expected. He leaned back in his seat, fingers lightly tracing his phone’s edge, pondering whether to inform Wen Xin about this.
This matter involved many people, and if he gave Wen Xin the documents, she might blow up the Independent State.
After a minute of contemplation, he saved the documents. His loyalty was to Wen Xin, and the state of the Independent State didn’t concern him.
Feeling relieved, Moore called the clairvoyant but received no answer.
“Head to Tang Hospital. Contact the clairvoyant and find his location. We need to find him quickly.”
Unable to reach the clairvoyant, Moore delegated the task to his subordinate and headed to Tang Hospital to inform Wen Xin of the investigation results.
“Understood,” his subordinate replied, knowing the clairvoyant’s importance to the Taros family and acting without delay.
Moore’s car stopped outside Tang Hospital, already surrounded by many vehicles bearing the Tang family insignia.
“Master, we haven’t found the clairvoyant yet. The Tang family is here. Should we go in?”
Moore hesitated, seeing the cars around, and dialed Wen Xin’s number. The call was answered after a while.
“The Tang family is here. Is it appropriate for me to enter?” Moore asked.
“Where are you? I have something to give you. Come in, I’ll meet you at the hallway entrance,” Wen Xin said.
Wen Xin had just placed Mu Chengxi in the ICU and stepped out when she received Moore’s call. She touched the box in her pocket and approached the Tang family.
“Grandfather, uncle, aunt…”
“Oh my, why is there so much blood on you? You look so pale! Are you hurt?”
“Your uncle said you started working right after arriving. Don’t tire yourself out. Come home with me to rest. I already scolded your uncle for not taking care of you,” Elder Lao said, heart aching for Wen Xin.
He had always wanted to bring her home for care, but she refused to stay in the Independent State so he could not do any more.
Wen Xin smiled softly at Elder Tang. “Grandfather, I’m doing this for myself, not others. Wait here for a moment. I need to deliver something, and I’ll be back.”
She gently patted Elder Tang’s hand, freed herself, and walked towards the stairway where Moore had just arrived.
“How is it? Is everything okay?” Moore asked as Wen Xin leaned against the railing, brushing her hair aside.
“It’s fine, just some serious injuries,” Wen Xin replied, handing Moore a red box. “I wanted to return this to you, but Mu Chengxi’s injuries were too severe. The medicine’s effects were slow, so I used this.”
Moore opened the box and looked shocked. “Where did you get this?”
“I took it. Its energy is depleted again. I heard placing it on the altar restores its energy. Try it.”
Wen Xin, too tired to explain further, would never admit she was the one who bought the jade.
“Thank you. I owe you my life. I’ll repay this debt with my life. I’ll never hesitate to fulfill any request you make,” Moore said, bowing respectfully.
Exhausted, Wen Xin could barely stand. Finding Mu Chengxi had drained her. “Get up. Go back. I need to speak with my grandfather.”
Wen Xin straightened up and walked towards the Tang family.
She noticed Sun Ning sitting on a bench with a forlorn expression. She smiled and walked over..
