This time, Wang Hu did not respond at all. Instead, he stared at Luo Chen with an indescribable gaze, his meaning exceptionally obvious.

If not for the fact that he had already investigated the details, he would definitely not let his daughter receive treatment there for a long time.

“With all due respect, I think there’s something wrong with the medicine your daughter took.”

After thinking for a long time, Luo Chen felt that it was probably not realistic to get information from someone like Wang Hu. He might as well tell the truth. The so-called sincerity was an eternal killing move.

“What do you mean?”

Wang Hu was stunned for a moment before he frowned slightly, his eyes filled with hostility.

He did not know why Luo Chen had determined that there was a problem with the medicine without even seeing the prescription.

For so long, his daughter had been treated at the same private clinic. The doctor was also an old friend he had saved many years ago.

No matter what, it was impossible for him to lie to him.

Moreover, there was a period of time when his daughter’s condition was indeed improving. However, because he was seriously injured on a mission at that time and delayed her treatment, her condition took a turn for the worse again.

Every time he recalled this, he felt guilty and would treat his daughter better.

“It’s as you heard. There’s something wrong with the medicine. I don’t know if it’s because the doctor’s standards aren’t good or if it’s because of some other reason.

If I’m not wrong, there’s more than one conflicting medicinal properties in that prescription. The doctor’s explanation to you should be that this is the only way to better eliminate the poison in your daughter’s body.

This is not how you fight poison with poison. Over time, her body will only become even weaker, let alone have a chance to recover at all.

If I had come half a year later, your daughter would probably have been beyond all help.”

Luo Chen stared into Wang Hu’s eyes and said word byword, his attitude as sincere as possible.

What he said was true. If a person like Wang Hu wanted to figure out something, he would definitely go to split hairs, and never stop until he figured it out.

He had probably checked the medicinal properties before. Only then would he be more at ease using that doctor.

Unfortunately, in the field of Chinese medicine, it was impossible to understand anything without half a lifetime of immersion. Those who knew a little might not even understand it at all.

Wang Hu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared fixedly at Luo Chen.

Perhaps it was because he had walked on the line of life and death for a long time, but Wang Hu’s blood-red eyes were almost terrifying.

If one’s mind was not firm, looking at him was enough to scare them out of their wits.

Being targeted by such a gaze, Luo Chen also felt a chill run down his spine, as if he was being targeted by some fatal beast.

“Who exactly are you?”

After a long time, Wang Hu finally spoke, but his tone was extremely low. Coupled with the fact that his voice was hoarse and unpleasant to hear, it was simply so loud that his eardrums hurt.

“You should know very well who I am, right? Could it be that you don’t look at the mission target information when you accept missions?”

Luo Chen pretended to smile freely and was even in the mood to look around the room.

Wang Hu had not turned on the lights since he came in. The lighting in the house was very poor.

However, Luo Chen could still tell with his outstanding eyesight that the decorations in the house were very warm. The large area of pink was a huge contrast to Wang Hu’s external appearance.

No one would believe that a murderous god outside actually had a pink plush bear at home, right?

These words made Wang Hu fall strangely silent.

Luo Chen could even read a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.

The atmosphere became solemn.

Luo Chen was surprised to discover that in Wang Hu’s presence, his ability to effortlessly kill anything made background investigations meaningless.

It hurt his pride!

“Um… these are not important. You just need to know that I definitely don’t have any ill intentions towards you. I just want to see if I can help you do anything.

Besides, isn’t this your house? Even if my brain really short-circuited and I want to attack your daughter, it should be completely under your control, right?

Maybe this is her only chance of survival.”

Luo Chen tried his best to sound more credible.

Wang Hu seemed to be touched by this sentence and finally turned on the lights.

The moment the lights were turned on, Luo Chen’s eyes stung from being used to the darkness.

After recovering his vision for a moment, he finally saw the original appearance of the house clearly.

It was very different from the environment outside, which could almost be considered a rubbish dump. The decoration of the house was very elegant and stylish. Although it was pink, it did not look gaudy at all. It even had an indescribable warmth.

“It’s quite beautiful.”

Luo Chen sighed sincerely.

Without a word, Wang Hu pushed open one of the doors.

Through the faint light in the living room, one could see that the bedroom’s decoration was even sweeter than the living room.

It was like the houses that Barbie dolls would live in in movies.

“She should be asleep already. Since last month, she’s slept much more than she’s been awake. I don’t know if you can make her better.

However, I can promise you one thing. No matter the outcome, I’ll give up on your mission.”

At the same time that Wang Hu opened the door, he stood by the door. This way, he could observe the entire room. If Luo Chen did anything to harm his daughter, he could react immediately.

“Then I really have to thank you. This order of yours should cost a lot, right?”

Luo Chen laughed and walked into the room cautiously.

The smell in the room was already so strong that it made him a little dizzy.

However, Wang Hu was watching from the side. He was really too embarrassed to do anything disdainful.

If Wang Hu saw this, he might misunderstand.

There was no trust between them. If he did anything wrong, it would be a huge problem if Wang Hu attacked directly.

Turning on the lights in the bedroom, Luo Chen saw a girl curled up under the blanket at first glance.

To his surprise, the girl was very delicate and beautiful, and she looked to be around 20 years old.

If he remembered correctly, in the original plot, Wang Hu was at most 40 years old. His adopted daughter was actually so old?

“Ever since I picked her up from a mission when I was 18 years old, I’ve already determined that she’s my daughter.

At that time, she was still a baby in her swaddling clothes. She was placed in a trash bag and thrown by the roadside like trash. If 1 didn’t pick her up, she definitely wouldn’t have survived that winter night.”

Wang Hu explained to Luo Chen casually.

Luo Chen turned around and smiled in understanding.

It seemed that because of such an age difference, they had been misunderstood a lot..
