At this time, a medicine boy came running over breathlessly to report: "Boss, I have contacted the main store in Beijing, and they really can't get any extra ginseng. Even the last two ginsengs have been temporarily borrowed by a powerful person. I'm afraid we need to wait a little longer."

Director Xu's brows are furrowed into a "chuan" shape

Ginseng is a rare treasure that is already hard to come by, and now it is facing a supply cut, which undoubtedly increases his worries - when can this urgent need be alleviated?

What is even more worrying is that there is a patient of distinguished status in the back hall who urgently needs ginseng to save his life, and time is especially precious for them.

"Well, whatever, I can only find another way."

While Ran He was waiting for the silver to be delivered, he overheard this conversation and was secretly surprised.

Coincidentally, she accidentally found a wild ginseng while exploring the back mountain in the morning.

This is exactly when Director Xu is in urgent need. It is truly a good opportunity to provide timely assistance.

Although Ran He had already planned to use the precious ginseng for other more important matters, after seeing the urgency and anxiety that Director Xu could hardly conceal between his brows, her inner balance began to waver.

It was an almost pleading look, as if it was a final cry for help for a life teetering on the brink of life and death.

In the end, the kindness in her heart drove her to make a decision - to sacrifice her own interests for the greater good.

"Here is the silver. Please make sure to check it carefully."

Ran He said softly as he took the banknote and the silver coins that shone with a cold light from Director Xu.

She did not count them immediately, but simply glanced at them and carefully put the money into her arms, her action revealing a casual and open-minded attitude.

Just when the deal seemed to be about to end in such a hurry, Director Xu's words made the air freeze again.

"Are you looking for ginseng?"

This question seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of my heart, loaded with unknown heaviness.

Director Xu's face looked a little gloomy, and he explained with some helplessness and apology: "It is true. There is a patient in critical condition who urgently needs ginseng to maintain his life, but our inventory and the Beijing Head Office regrettably said that they are unable to help."

Hearing this, Ran He frowned slightly, his eyes were far-reaching, as if he was having a fierce struggle in his heart.

Finally, she spoke slowly, her voice soft but firm: "I happen to have a ginseng here. Although it is not very old, it is of high quality and may be able to solve your urgent needs."

Upon hearing this, Director Xu's eyes flashed with a gleam of disbelief, and he was surprised but also a little anxious. "Is there really such a ginseng? Can I see it with my own eyes? I'm really sorry, I've embarrassed you with my eagerness, please let me have a quick look."

Ran He was a little surprised by Director Xu's reaction. The original plan was to deliver it tomorrow. After all, carrying such a rare item out was inconvenient and risky.

But looking at Director Xu's eyes that could almost be called pleading, and thinking that the patient was at a critical moment of life and death, any moment of delay could mean the passing of life.

So, she made a decisive decision and ordered her maid Mengmeng to gently dig out the precious ginseng from the special black soil basin, carefully wrap it in a silk brocade box, and then cleverly hide it in her sleeves, so that it was both concealed and safe.

"Of course it's possible."

Ran He took out the brocade box from his sleeve in a leisurely manner and slowly opened the lid. At that moment, a plump and shiny ginseng exuding natural charm came into everyone's sight.

Although it has not been cultivated for a long time, it has already demonstrated extraordinary quality.

Every inch of roots seems to contain the essence of the earth and the accumulation of years.

Director Xu knew very well that treasures like these should not be handled lightly, and was worried that any carelessness might result in the treasure changing hands.

So he decided to personally lead the mysterious woman to the back hall and present the ginseng to the important man in a high position.

Even though the young master's entourage had repeatedly ordered everything to be kept secret, at this critical moment involving human lives, the rules had to take a back seat.

"Please follow me."

Director Xu led the way, and the two of them passed through a hallway with carved beams and painted buildings. Finally, Ran He stood in front of the rumored powerful man.

He was wearing a dark robe and looked elegant, but when he saw Director Xu was accompanied by a young woman whom he had never met before, his expression suddenly became serious. His fingers unconsciously touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, and he asked vigilantly: "Director Xu, who is this..."

"Don't misunderstand me. This young lady has a treasure like ginseng in her hands. I can't make the decision on my own, so I brought her here for your direct consideration. Please believe that she means no harm."

Director Xu quickly stepped forward to explain, trying to defuse the sudden tense atmosphere.

The young master called Ling Feng, upon hearing the word "ginseng"

When he heard the second word, his originally tense face relaxed a little.

As a noble, he naturally didn't need to take care of such trivial matters personally in the past.

But in such a remote place, and he deliberately traveled in a low profile and did not want to alarm his family, so he had to try to solve the problem himself.

Although Master Cheng has sent people to search for ginseng elsewhere, if the woman in front of him can really provide what is needed, it will undoubtedly be the best solution. After all, the noble master's illness cannot afford any delay.

"This ginseng, as far as I know, has been cultivated for five hundred years."

Ran He spoke calmly, without any bluff in his tone, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

"Five hundred years!"

These two words exploded like thunder in the ears of Director Xu and Ling Feng.

Even for those wealthy and powerful families with a long history, a five hundred year old ginseng is a rare treasure, let alone being owned by a seemingly ordinary woman.

"This is an unexpected gain for me. Perhaps it is really destiny. If it can help people in need, I am willing to give up this opportunity and transfer it to you."

Ran He's words were calm and sincere. He did not show any arrogance because of the priceless treasure in his hand. Instead, it showed the noble character and broad mind of his people.

Ling Feng's heart seemed to be illuminated by warm sunshine, and an indescribable joy surged in his chest.

This rare ginseng in front of you is undoubtedly a gift from God, and it will definitely become a magic weapon to save your life.

His eyes were firm, and he announced his decision without hesitation: "This ginseng is priceless to me. Although the market valuation is only 250 taels of silver, I am willing to use this as a basis and offer double the price to show my sincerity and eagerness."

When saying this, Ling Feng's expression did not fluctuate at all, as if he was just talking about daily trivialities.

Such calmness and decisiveness surprised Ran He who was watching from the side.
