Chapter 174 This is the potion you're looking for
Tan Zhengmo smiled and calmly replied, "I originally wanted to send my men to deliver flowers to you and politely invite you to my home, but I didn't expect you to be so arrogant. I had no choice but to come here myself."
Su Yingxue frowned slightly, her eyes full of doubt: "Why did you send me flowers?"
Tan Zhengmo's eyes softened, as if he were lost in memories: "Ever since I first saw you at the Tan family banquet, I felt that you were different from others. I had this idea in my mind: to send you some flowers and see if I could win your favor."
Su Yingxue's heart skipped a beat, as if she understood something, and she blurted out: "The Noble Emperor Flower was a gift from you."
Tan Zhengmo nodded slightly, a hint of self-satisfaction in his eyes: "I live in Ruili City, a border town. I'm usually quite bored, so I've been growing a lot of rare and precious flowers. I heard you like these flowers, and when I took a look, I thought the Emperor Protea was the most precious, and only they could match your temperament."
Su Yingxue finally understood everything. It turned out that the noble imperial flowers she had been receiving inexplicably all those days, as well as those strange messages, were all the work of the person in front of her.
She looked up at Tan Zhengmo and saw that his eyes were full of warmth.
His deep affection made Su Yingxue's heart skip a beat.
She took a deep breath, her expression turning serious: "Little Mozi, can you please stop being so infatuated? I'm your sister-in-law, and the person I love is your older brother, Tan Zhengchu. I've been set on him from the very beginning, and it can never be you. If I continue like this, I'll only make myself suffer. I'll just pretend you never said those words today."
After saying that, Su Yingxue sighed softly and walked towards another shop.
She knew that the most urgent thing was to find Wei Hao's whereabouts, and she couldn't afford to get entangled in this matter any longer.
Tan Zhengmo stood there stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.
The two entered a pharmacy one after the other.
Su Yingxue looked around anxiously, hoping to find out Wei Hao's whereabouts.
Tan Zhengmo stood in front of him, remained silent for a while, and then said, "Su Yingxue, you don't need to feel guilty. I was just saying it for fun, and I won't force you."
Su Yingxue was focused on finding clues.
Upon hearing this, she paused, her large eyes blinked, and her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.
She turned her head to look at Tan Zhengmo, a surge of emotion welling up inside her, along with reflections on their relationship.
A moment later, Su Yingxue smiled and said sincerely, "Little Mozi, I hope you can find your own happiness too!"
Tan Zhengmo gave a bitter smile, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.
However, he also understood that some things cannot be forced, so he could only swallow his feelings and accompany Su Yingxue to continue exploring.
Right now, helping her fulfill her wish is perhaps the only thing I can do.
Su Yingxue had already browsed through several shops in the dark market, and her eyes were almost sore from staring.
But they couldn't find a single useful clue.
She was anxious, but she kept walking.
Next, we entered an unknown shop whose signboard was somewhat blurry.
As soon as I entered the store, I felt a chill in the air.
Compared to the bustling atmosphere of the Moonlit Emperor's shop, this place was unusually deserted.
There were hardly any customers in the store, and the staff were all leaning lazily against the counter.
Su Yingxue didn't pay any attention, took a deep breath, and began browsing the products along the shelves.
As she glanced at it, her heart skipped a beat.
The shelves were mostly stocked with medicine for treating gunshot wounds and anesthetics that were explicitly prohibited.
There were also some unknown medicines with strange foreign language labels on the bottles.
Turning her head again, her gaze was instantly drawn to a potion called "Devour," and her expression froze.
Wei Hao's face involuntarily appeared in her mind, and her heart began to pound wildly.
However, having been through similar experiences, she maintained a calm and composed demeanor on the surface.
Tan Zhengmo followed behind her and noticed her unusual behavior.
He stepped forward, gestured with his chin towards the sales clerk, and asked, "Do you still have this 'Devour' potion in stock?"
His tone carried an unquestionable air, and coupled with his impeccably tailored black attire, his extraordinary aura was immediately apparent.
The sales clerk, who had been nonchalant, immediately widened her eyes upon hearing this.
He looked the two men up and down, thinking to himself: These two don't look like ordinary buyers.
His face immediately lit up with a smile, and he replied politely, "Distinguished guests, this potion is quite complex, and it's not convenient to discuss it here. Please move to the VIP room."
As he spoke, he led the two of them to the back of the shop.
The VIP room was decorated in a style somewhat similar to a hospital's treatment room, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant.
Su Yingxue and Tan Zhengmo had just sat down.
The salesperson quickly closed the door, rubbing his hands together and smiling, "Gentlemen, we need to discuss the price and delivery location carefully."
Tan Zhengmo leaned back in his chair and slightly raised his eyes: "Okay, you go first."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, as if a single spark could ignite it.
It's important to understand that this black market is in a lawless zone, beyond the reach of the law, so both buyers and sellers must be extremely vigilant.
One wrong move and you could lose everything, or even your life.
The sales clerk cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "To be honest, there have been several robberies here before, so the procedures have to be more rigorous."
Tan Zhengmo listened, but his gaze fell on Su Yingxue.
Seeing her looking around restlessly, he asked softly, "Is this potion very important to you?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue quickly looked away and turned to Tan Zhengmo, a smile playing on her lips.
But the smile didn't reach her eyes; her gaze held a coldness that made her seem unapproachable.
She paused, then said, "It's somewhat useful. Finding it will at least reduce some trouble."
Tan Zhengmo nodded slightly and did not ask any further questions, but he secretly wondered: Just how many secrets does Su Yingxue have?
Meanwhile, Su Yingxue was plotting in her mind how to extract clues about Wei Hao from this transaction.
Both had their own thoughts, waiting to complete the next transaction with the shop owner.
Tan Zhengmo turned slightly to the side, his gaze fixed on Su Yingxue, and asked in a low voice, "Is this the potion you're looking for?"
Su Yingxue frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation in her eyes, and replied softly, "I can't say for sure. We'll have to talk to their boss to find out how effective the medicine really is."
Tan Zhengmo raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of doubt. In the past, Su Yingxue had acted decisively.
But her indecisive demeanor today is really unlike her.
Unable to resist pressing further, I asked, "What's wrong with you today? Where did your usual efficiency go? What does this medicine mean to you?"
