Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Director Lu Finally Panics
“Housekeeper Fu, how has the young madam been lately?”
“The young madam is quite well, but she has gone out. Does the gentleman need to see her?”
“Gone out?” Lu Hualiang frowned, “Where did she go?”
As he spoke, he glanced at the ti. It was already six o’clock in the evening, and she had gone out?
“The young madam said she went up the mountain to gather herbs.”
“Gather what herbs?” Lu Hualiang’s expression grew darker.
Could this woman be any less sensible? If she needed herbs, couldn’t she just buy them? What was she doing gathering them, acting all crazy?
“I’m not very clear on the details. The young madam said the pharmacy didn’t have the herbs she needed, and then she asked if there were any deserted mountains nearby. I told her about dicine Mountain near the prival forest, and off she went.”
“What?!”
Lu Hualiang suddenly stood up, “This is outrageous, how could you let her go to such a place!”
After saying that, he grabbed his car keys and ran outside.
More than a hundred kiloters away from the imperial city, there is a prival forest that is extrely dangerous due to its lack of developnt, and that woman actually dared to go there!
Housekeeper Fu thought that Xia Weibao was so fierce, she hardly seed like a woman at all.
Even going to the prival forest would not scare her.
But now, hearing Lu Hualiang’s words, he suddenly felt alard.
No matter how strong she is, she’s still a woman.
And in a place like the prival forest, with so many poisonous insects, snakes, ants, and large ferocious beasts occasionally appearing,
It’s too dangerous, so it has been sealed off.
Desolate and uninhabited,
If she went there alone, and now that it’s dark, what if she really encounters danger!
Housekeeper Fu’s face turned pale.
Young madam, you mustn’t co to any harm.
Lu Hualiang floored the accelerator, and the car seed to almost take flight!
The hands gripping the steering wheel had veins bulging, his eyes red with bloodshot veins.
He kept dialing Xia Weibao’s phone, but it was unreachable no matter how often he tried.
In a place like the prival forest, there’s simply no signal.
aning, she must have arrived.
That damn woman!
Lu Hualiang was almost infuriated to death.
Just then, the broadcast reported a severe rainstorm tonight in the area around the prival forest.
His face turned even paler, and cold sweat even seeped from the palms of his hands.
Please, let there be no trouble, let there be no trouble.
At that mont, his heart was in utter turmoil.
The car’s speed increased ever more; he wished he could just Flash over to her side!
Inside the prival forest, Xia Weibao was advancing with her flashlight in the dark.
The howling wind shook the large trees continuously, as if malevolent demons, baring their teeth and claws, were ready to devour any invading life at any mont.
The wind roared furiously, like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
The sound of insects and wild beasts, in the dark forest, were creepy and unsettling.
However, the woman who was cautiously moving forward showed no fear.
For modern people, wandering in a forest at night might be terrifying,
but for her, once a revered goddess physician of Jianghu, it was nothing out of the ordinary.
Back when she was living rough, she had used the sky as her blanket and the earth as her bed.
But ever since she entered the palace, she had been living a life of luxury and had not experienced spending a night in the woods for a long ti.
Strange, why was she thinking of the Dog Emperor again?
Xia Weibao shook her head, when suddenly she paused; her eyes beca piercing in an instant!
She sniffed lightly, and amidst the damp, musty scent of the forest’s decaying leaves, she detected a faint sll of blood.
Was it a person? Or a wild beast?
A slight noise ca from behind her; she perked up her ears.
With a swift turn, she focused on the low bushes behind her.
Cautiously walking over, she used a stick to lift the leaves, and a person covered in blood tumbled out from within.
