Hong Zhong had entrusted his precious daughter to Luo Yang. which was an affirmation of his capabilities and character.
Luo Yang had no choice but to give it his all.
Upon hearing Hong Jiaxin mention that she was not feeling well. Luo Yang was concerned and quickly asked. "What's wrong?"
Seeing that Luo Yang cared about her. Hong Jiaxin felt pleased and said. "It feels like sand got into my eyes. they're sore and I can't open them."
Luo Yang walked over and blew gently on Hong Jiaxin's eyes.
At this. Qin Piao couldn't help but burst into giggles.
An Hong was too embarrassed.
Knowing the two women were jealous of each other. Luo Yang changed the subject. "Tomorrow is my sister's birthday. What do you think would make a good gift? Something meaningful. It doesn't have to be very expensive."
Seeing that they were unwilling to talk. Luo Yang gave Qin Piao a look. asking her to come over and persuade them.
Qin Piao then laughed and said. "Come on. two beauties. what's wrong? Why don't you help Niu Zai come up with an idea?"
Hearing this. An Yuying said in a delicate voice. "I don't know what would be appropriate to give."
Hong Jiaxin didn't answer. lying on her side. perhaps she was really tired and needed to sleep.
It was already one-thirty in the morning. Luo Yang said. "Sister Piao. aren't you sleeping yet?"
Qin Piao nodded. then checked the color of her hands again. which had indeed improved significantly. and excitedly exclaimed. "The beauty stream water really works! It's amazing!"
After talking a bit more. she finally went back to her bedroom.
However. she didn't go back to her room immediately. but stood in the hallway. ears perked. trying to listen to what Luo Yang might say. After a while. though she heard no sound.
Originally. Luo Yang had wanted to discuss with them what gift to give Zhu Li. as tomorrow was Zhu Li's birthday. Since Hong Jiaxin seemed to be really asleep. he didn't feel it was appropriate to continue chatting with An Yuying.
Glancing at An Yuying. he saw that she was also gazing at him with tender affection. The two exchanged smiles.
Luo Yang was not accustomed to sleeping with the light on.
Sleeping with the light on would keep him awake until dawn. so he had no choice but to turn off the light.
Lying in bed. Luo Yang was thinking.
He wondered what kind of formidable enemy Hong Zhong had provoked that required him to seek help overnight.
In modern times. one merely needed to make a phone call to seek help. He didn't know if Hong Zhong had managed to call anyone.
That mysterious Mr. Shen had claimed that selling a piece of charcoal could ensure a lifetime without work.
What unspeakable conspiracy was hidden within?
The world is vast and full of wonders.
However. it was indeed an interesting affair that someone was willing to pay a high price for a piece of charcoal.
Luo Yang racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.
The situation was too mysterious. Luo Yang was very curious and felt uneasy not knowing the truth.
Since the matter involved Hong Jiaxin. uncovering the secret of the charcoal might provide a chance to unravel the secrets surrounding Hong Jiaxin.
What kind of mystery was troubling Hong Jiaxin? For Hong Jiaxin's sake. Luo Yang was willing to spend time investigating the people and events related to this affair.
A cube of charcoal was indeed rare.
Although the market sold charcoal. Luo Yang had never seen such a large piece.
Where to find such charcoal to photograph and send to Mr. Shen was still an unknown.
Luo Yang thought about inquiring with Zhu Li tomorrow to see if she had found a one-foot-cube of charcoal.
Zhu Li was wealthy. and Luo Yang really didn't know what kind of birthday gift to give her.
Giving a gold chain or such might not catch her eye.
Perhaps only a diamond would do. but that was far beyond Luo Yang's current financial capacity.
Unable to sleep. he entered the landscapes of the "Shennong Scripture." let his soul leave his body. and circled around the room. Out of curiosity. he also wandered into other people's rooms.
Seeing that everyone was asleep. Luo Yang then returned to his own room.
