Upon hearing the slightly nervous inquiry, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the uneasy expression on Guo Meiyu's face and said, "It'll be ready soon!"

"Okay, I..."

Before she could finish, Guo Meiyu heard urgent footsteps.

Turning her head, Guo Meiyu saw the formidable Han Xueyao running back.

And she wasn't alone; beside her was Song Yaling in a tight-fitting long dress...

"How is it? How are things here?"

"Still getting ready! Sis, did you finish dealing with the village issues?"

"Yes! Just minor stuff, I handled it quickly!"

After explaining, Han Xueyao spoke again, "So how are things now?"

At such an inquiry, Song Yaling also looked nervously at Guo Meiyu...

She had come to the village and had just entered it when she encountered Han Xueyao running anxiously forward, and quickly, she called out to Han Xueyao.

After that, she learned from Han Xueyao the reason for her hurried rush.

Once she understood, she unhesitatingly joined her.

Knowing that their anxious inquiries were genuine concern for her, warmth filled Guo Meiyu's heart...

Honestly, she knew the others hadn't brought up having children up till now purely because they worried it would upset her...

"But there really won't be such awkwardness anymore in the future!"

With this thought, Guo Meiyu took a deep breath and said excitedly, "Xiaobei is making medicine for me, and he thinks my problem can be solved!"

"Really? Great! Great! Great!"

After such an excited outburst, they looked eagerly at Hu Xiaobei.

Feeling their anticipation, the smile at the corner of Hu Xiaobei's mouth grew even deeper...

Afterward, Hu Xiaobei devotedly continued mixing the medicine.

Various medicinal herbs were cautiously added by Hu Xiaobei...

Five minutes later, a faint fragrance wafted to their noses.

"It smells nice!"

"Yes, it does!"

Upon catching this rich aroma, their eyes immediately brightened.

They knew the medicine would surely be effective because just inhaling it made them feel particularly comfortable...

"Smells good, doesn't it?"

After fully preparing the medicine, Hu Xiaobei glanced at them with pride.

"Yes!"

Nodding lightly, they eagerly asked, "Will Meiyu get better after drinking it?"

They were uninterested in anything else but how effective it would be...

They knew Guo Meiyu had been tormented by this mental ailment for many years...

So now, they all hoped she could soon move past it.

Seeing their anxiety, Hu Xiaobei explained calmly, "Sister-in-law will definitely make a full recovery, but not right now. This medicine can only solve certain issues; further treatment is needed to fully recover!"

"Further treatment is needed?"

"Yes! If all goes well, sister-in-law will fully recover in no more than three days!"

In truth, Hu Xiaobei had a super-fast way to make her recover entirely...

But Hu Xiaobei knew that wouldn't be good, as it could harm her body...

For long-term consideration, Hu Xiaobei planned a gradual treatment.

This way would leave no hidden damage to her body.

"Three days? That's not long!"

"Yes, indeed!"

Upon hearing the timeframe from Hu Xiaobei, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Since they had waited so long, a few more days really didn't matter...

Seeing them no longer so tense, Hu Xiaobei looked at Guo Meiyu standing by his side and said, "Sister-in-law, drink the medicine now!"

"Alright!"

Obliging, Guo Meiyu carefully extended her delicate fingers to pick it up.

The next moment, she carefully examined the bowl with the light green liquid inside...

Seeing this scene, Han Xueyao and Song Yaling teased softly, "What? Reluctant to drink it? If not, give it to us!"

"Yes, we are a bit tempted!"

"No way am I doing that!"

Quickly refusing, Guo Meiyu drank it all in one go...

"Oh no, you didn't leave any!"

"Right, we wanted to taste it and see what it's like!"

Seeing their envy, Guo Meiyu chuckled, "Want to know? Ask me! But I won't tell you!"

"Little bastard!"

With that, they pounced on her...

"Oh no!"

When saying this, she quickly turned and ran.

Noticing her escape attempt, Han Xueyao and Song Yaling hurried after her...

"Three women, one drama — turns out it's true!"

Watching them chase each other off, Hu Xiaobei couldn't help but chuckle lightly.

Afterward, Hu Xiaobei started planning the treatment regimen...

In the following days, Hu Xiaobei carefully carried out the treatment for her...

That night, Hu Xiaobei visited Guo Meiyu's room again...

Upon opening the door, Hu Xiaobei saw Guo Meiyu sitting bashfully by the window, now dressed in a light purple nightgown...

She glowed under the moonlight...

"Beautiful!"

Ever since childhood, Hu Xiaobei always regarded Guo Meiyu as his goddess!

As such, no matter how many times he saw her, he never tired of it!

Truly!

It didn't get old; instead, it was particularly enchanting.

After a sigh of admiration, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the room's lighting and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, why did you dim the lights so much?"

"Just thought it was nice this way!"

"For resting, it is indeed nice, but I still need to give you one last acupuncture treatment!"

"Then turn them on first!"

"Okay!"

Nodding lightly, Hu Xiaobei turned on all the room lights...

Afterward, Hu Xiaobei locked the door and walked toward Guo Meiyu.

...

As Hu Xiaobei started the last treatment for Guo Meiyu, members of that mysterious organization gathered once again!

These people were absolute talents within the organization; hence, they'd thoroughly investigated everything Hei Ze wanted to know...

Having completed the investigation, they gave all the information to Hei Ze...

After delivering it, they awaited Hei Ze's summons...

Now, they've been summoned there...

They were quite tense at the moment.

The reason was the dreadful expression on Hei Ze sitting at the main seat!

"I went through all the information you investigated earlier, confirming that my apprentice Hei Lin's death is inseparable from that Hu Xiaobei."

"Yes!"

Hearing his low words, everyone responded quickly!

They had reached the same conclusion earlier...

So there was no surprise at all...

"I have one question now: who exactly is this Hu Xiaobei? Based on your findings, his abilities are impressive, but someone like that should've been noticed long ago; why was there no prior knowledge of him in our organization? Tell me!"

Cold!

With his icy query, the temperature in the room plummeted dramatically...

This caused everyone to shiver involuntarily...

They knew Hei Ze was truly angry now...

"We must find a way to appease him; otherwise, his fury will consume us all!"

When this realization dawned, everyone looked toward the person at the front!

That person, feeling their gaze, twitched his eyelids!

He realized he'd been chosen!

Reluctant though he was, he had to speak up.

Taking a deep breath, he spoke awkwardly, "We indeed erred in this matter. Previously, we had few people in Huaxia, so we didn't investigate this Hu Xiaobei."

Upon hearing their explanation, Hei Ze spoke in a chilling, raspy voice, "So, you all share responsibility for my apprentice's death!"

"Yes! We're responsible! We want to atone for our mistake."

"Atone? Since you wish to make amends, I'll give you a chance! Later, charter a plane, and together we'll go to Huaxia. I want to see for myself how many heads this Hu Xiaobei has!"

"Alright!"

Hearing Hei Ze offer them a chance to atone, they sighed with relief.

They had feared Hei Ze wouldn't listen to their explanation or give them a chance...

In truth, Hei Ze didn't really want to give them a chance, but he had no choice, as he needed help now...

Otherwise, he'd have preferred they all die for their failings...

"Alright, get moving!"

"Yes!"

As everyone filed out, he muttered coldly, "Hu Xiaobei, just wait. Soon, I'll come for you, and then I'll show you true despair!"
