Chapter 173: Brainstorming

Luo Chen recalled carefully. In the original plot, Wang Hu’s daughter was actually adopted. Or rather, he had picked her up and taken her in.

For a child who was actually not related to him by blood, he had sacrificed too much.

To be fair, Luo Chen felt that if it were him, he wouldn’t have been able to do this.

Logically speaking, for a person like Wang Hu, the money he received from a single mission was probably enough to live a rich life.

But because of his daughter’s illness, his life could be described as poor.

In the end, it was also because of his daughter that he was recruited by Lin Tian.

What kind of person was this?

He was a little curious, but he did not make it too obvious.

“You know what will happen if you can’t do what you say, right?”

After a short silence, Wang Hu stared into Luo Chen’s eyes and said word by word.

“It doesn’t matter. In any case, it won’t be a loss to go and see her. What if I happen to be good at treating her illness? Before I see the patient, I can’t be sure myself.”

Luo Chen shrugged and did not speak too confidently.

Wang Hu fell silent again.

It was as if silence was the way he was most used to dealing with anything.

Luo Chen was not in a hurry. They were already far enough from the company. If nothing unexpected happened, the reporters would not be able to catch up in a short time.

The silence continued.

“Don’t you want to know who asked me to kill you? Your head is worth a lot of money.”

After a long time, Wang Hu said.

“Will you tell me what I want to know?”

Luo Chen asked with a smile.

“No, and you can’t ask me that. If you can really cure my daughter’s illness, 1’11 pay you accordingly.”

With that, Wang Hu put on a relaxed posture. This meant that he was no longer hostile to Luo Chen for the time being.

“Show me the way.”

Luo Chen smiled freely and started the car again.

Following Wang Hu’s guidance, Luo Chen drove for two hours.

Originally, because he had to avoid the ubiquitous reporters, it was already late when he left the company. When he arrived at an alley that looked abandoned for a long time, the night was already so dark that he could not see the road ahead clearly.

This alley seemed to have been forgotten by the entire high-speed development of Jiang City. There was trash everywhere and low dilapidated buildings.

As soon as the car drove in, it could not stop bumping.

The road conditions were very bad. It had clearly not rained for a long time, but it was still very muddy.

Not to mention the street lamps.

There was not even moonlight tonight.

Only the car’s headlights illuminated a small area of the road ahead.

“Do we still have to drive forward? The road feels too narrow.”

When they arrived at an intersection, Luo Chen hesitated.

“You can get out of the car and walk.”

With that, he waited for Luo Chen to stop the car and got out without looking back.

After Luo Chen followed him, he realized that the environment here was even worse than he expected.

An indescribable smell of dampness and decay mixed together and drilled into his nose, causing him to sniff uncomfortably.

To the first person whose loyalty had been judged by the System to be a mission reward, Luo Chen’s curiosity towards Wang Hu was increasing at all times.

From the looks of it, Wang Hu was not dissatisfied with his living environment. In fact, he was already used to it.

“Even if you want to save money for your daughter’s treatment, you should live in a slightly better place, right? The environment here is not very friendly to the patient.”

After walking for 20 minutes, he saw that Wang Hu still had no intention of stopping. Luo Chen could only find something to talk about with him.

“It’s fine. It’s safe here.”

Wang Hu said calmly. There was no emotion in his words.

To people like them, safety was actually the most important thing in looking for a long-term residence.

Moreover, Wang Hu had already made up his mind. Regardless of whether Luo Chen could treat his daughter’s illness in the end, he had to start preparing to move tomorrow.

They followed the potholed path in.

Luo Chen paid attention to the situation around him.

Originally, there were still many families living at the entrance of the alley. After all, although the environment here was a little poor, the rent was indeed very cheap.

It was several times cheaper than the central area of Jiang City.

However, Wang Hu was willing to sacrifice so much in order to let his daughter recover. It was no exaggeration to say that he had completely ruined his own future.

Back then, Wang Hu was a member of a mercenary group. With his own efforts, he had already become a team leader in three years.

Unfortunately, because of some friction in the original plot that was not written, he left the team that he had sacrificed most of his life for without any reluctance.

Even his good brothers in the past did not leave their contact details.

After all, it was not easy to escape this line of work. Only by completely severing everything related to the past could they have a new future.

In Wang Hu’s heart, no matter who it was, they could not be compared to his daughter.

After walking for about 15 minutes, Wang Hu, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.

Luo Chen followed behind and almost bumped into his back.

“Come in.”

As Wang Hu spoke, he took out the key and opened the door.

However, the moment he opened the door, Luo Chen relied on his outstanding five senses to determine that Wang Hu’s house was definitely not as ordinary as it looked outside.

The key just now was actually just a feint. The door of Wang Hu’s house was imported. It was controlled by fingerprints, irises, and facial recognition functions.

If he did not have the approval of the owner of this house, it could be said to be a fantasy story if he wanted to barge in by himself.

The door opened very smoothly without making any sound.

As soon as he walked into the house, a strange smell rushed into his nose.

Luo Chen was very sensitive to smells. The smell in the house couldn’t be said to be unpleasant, but it was extremely stimulating.

It seemed that this smell was caused by many herbs being boiled together.

Generally speaking, it was very difficult for people who were not good at pharmacology to tell. At most, they would feel that the smell of Chinese medicine was stronger.

“How did you get the medicine your daughter usually drinks?”

He stood at the door and hesitated for a moment before asking tactfully.

“Huh? Why do you ask? 1 bought it from the hospital.”

Wang Hu crossed his arms and stared at Luo Chen, his eyes still guarded.

Even though he had already entered the house, he still had no intention of letting Luo Chen see his daughter.

However, from the looks of it, Luo Chen really did not have any ill intentions.

This also made Wang Hu really unable to figure out Luo Chen’s true thoughts.

Could it be that he really wanted to treat the child of a killer he had only met once?

It sounded like a fantasy.

“Is the hospital reliable?”

Luo Chen asked..
