Chapter 1393: Uncontactable
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
He Shu did not know what Huo Yao was thinking. After she handed the prescription back to him, she said, “Oh yes. Chairman Wang, do you remember the Chinese herb you asked me about? Is the owner interested in selling it?”
Chairman Wang sat up straight. He looked at Huo Yao quizzically without perceiving the way she had worded her question. He simply asked. “Are you interested in the herb too?”
It seemed someone else wanted the herb as well.
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes and nodded.
Deputy Chairman Qin kept arguing with Chairman Wang due to the Chinese herb. Now, the association was in chaos. He could not help sighing and answered. “Well, it’s no use now even if you’re interested. Someone has already taken it.”
!!
“Did someone take it?” Huo Yao was puzzled. After all, only the people in the clan knew of its application. Even if an outsider was able to get their hands on the herb, it was no different than a weed to them.
“Uh huh.” Chairman Wang nodded. A fight for power was going on in the Apothecaries’ Association and he did not want to get Huo Yao implicated, so he did not go into detail about how it happened.
He paused and asked instead. “What kind of applications does the herb have anyway? I checked some Chinese medical texts, but there was no mention of the herb at all.”
Huo Yao held her hands gently and simply said, “It has very few applications.”
Chairman Wang knew that Huo Yao came from a very special family, so he asked her about the Chinese herb. Since she was not keen on telling him more, he decided to stop asking.
“Is the owner of the herb still working at the Chinese herb farm?” asked Huo Yao in concern.
“Nope. Mr. Mi went back to his hometown and only came back very recently. After he returned, he suddenly became unreachable,” explained Chairman Wang.
Chairman Wang was worried that Deputy Chairman Qin might have done something to Mi Wei, so he told his assistant to keep an eye on Qin Zheng. A couple of days ago, the assistant called to confirm Qin Zheng was unable to contact Mi Wei as well.
“Is he unreachable?” asked Huo Yao.
“Uh huh. He’s probably busy with something. Maybe he went back to his hometown again,” said Chairman Wang. He looked at Huo Yao and continued. “Are you looking for him because you want the Chinese herb?”
Huo Yao knew Mi Wei well. If he did not want to show his tracks, no one could find him. She simply nodded to Chairman Wang. “Do you have his number?”
“Uh huh. I’ll send you the number via text message later,” replied Chairman Wang.
“Great. Thanks then.” Huo Yao nodded and stopped asking about Mi Wei.
Before long, Huo Yao left the Wang residence.
After walking her out, He Shu went back inside. When he entered the room, he saw Chairman Wang looking at Huo Yao’s prescriptions. He automatically walked over, pulled up a chair, and sat down before he lamented. “Deputy Chairman Qin kept trying to make Miss Huo hand over some prescriptions, but she gave them to us without us even asking for them.”
Chairman Wang handed the prescriptions to He Shu and said, “I’m sure she knows what she is doing. Just focus on learning as much as you can from them.”
He Shu looked at his master quizzically as he wondered why she would give him these prescriptions out of the blue.
Chairman Wang slowly lay back down in bed. He looked unusually calm. “I’m getting on my age, so my time will be up soon. I’m going to leave the Apothecaries’ Association in your hands.”
He Shu clenched his hands and wanted to cry. “Miss Huo is treating you, so I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before you recover completely.”
Chairman Wang smiled without saying a word.

Meanwhile, Huo Yao went straight to her estate.
She took out her phone after getting home. Chairman Wang had already sent her Mi Wei’s phone number.
Sure enough, Mi Wei’s phone was off.
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yao pondered before she took out her phone and turned on the computer mode.
