A slight surprise flashed in Wen Ran's eyes.
Her family owned a pharmaceutical factory, and although she wasn't interested in the family business growing up, she was familiar with many medicinal herbs, especially because she used to identify them by their scent in her childhood.
On her way here, she had smelled it. Just like Gu Kai's conclusion now, she could confirm the presence of musk, but she couldn't identify the rest.
"Older Brother Gu, I can only smell the musk from this medicine, but it's not the only one in there, so I need your help," she said honestly. Wen Ran needed to know what other 'ingredients' were in this shark fin soup.
Gu Kai was sharp, and he understood her predicament through their brief conversation. He looked at her with deep concern and asked, "Ranran, did someone invite you to dine at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion tonight?"
