After leaving West City, Chen Mo drove straight back home. This time, he had accomplished one thing: he had identified the owner of the gu worms.
He had originally planned to visit Shen Tingting, but when he called, she was busy and had no free time. He had no idea what kept her so occupied every day. He never even caught sight of her. Every day, all she did was solve cases, solve cases. Even when he came to West City, he could not see her.
From what she said on the phone, by the time she was free, it might already be late at night. Chen Mo got a headache just hearing it. A girl actually had to work until the middle of the night—it was all his fault.
If he had not given her the simplified Marrow Cleansing Pill to take, she definitely would not have had so much energy. Just dealing with a single gu worm would have left her weak for days.
But there was nothing he could do. Who told him to fall for such a tomboy, a woman who loved work more than she loved him?
Forget it. If she wanted to keep busy, then let her be busy. Sooner or later, he would make her settle down for ten months!
Bold and unapologetic! Everyone understood!
With thoughts that could only be understood, not spoken aloud, he headed straight back to Gourd Valley. Datuk Lin had already left, so Shen Tingting was safe for the moment.
Of course, Chen Mo would not let off the person targeting Shen Tingting so easily. He planned to return first and refine some pills, then personally make a trip to Malaysia. He would find that fellow Datuk Lin and question him face-to-face about exactly who was behind this
