Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

In the next few days, Hua Chaochao repeated his old tricks and continued to pretend to be sick to avoid teaching.

Hua Xi knew that Hua Chaochao was pretending to be sick, but she couldn't bear to force her.

In desperation, Hua Xi had to give up the idea of ​​letting Hua Chaochao learn martial arts.

She thought hopefully that if she kept a closer eye on Hua Chaochao in the future, nothing would happen.

……

Because of Ji Xianchen, Hua Chaochao and Hua Xi stayed in the imperial capital for ten days.

On the eleventh day, they prepared to leave and go to Jiangcheng to visit the two elders of the Lian family and stay with them for a few days.

After all, school will start soon. If I don’t go this time, I don’t know when I will have time to visit the two old people.

Before leaving the imperial capital, Hua Chaochao and Hua Xi went to the hospital to say goodbye to Ji Xianchen.

When they were about to leave the hospital after saying goodbye, they saw an unexpected person.

The man also noticed them and walked towards them.

Without waiting for that person to speak, Hua Chaochao said first: "It's you! I remember you. At the school gate, Yi Mu walked with you."

Pu Yin didn't expect that Hua Chaochao still remembered him, and nodded slightly.

Hua Chaochao asked curiously: "Why are you in the hospital? Are you sick?"

Pu Yin explained the purpose of her visit to the hospital: "No, I came to deliver something to Dr. Shi."

Hua Chaochao nodded in sudden realization, and then as if remembering something, she continued to ask: "By the way, do you know where Yi Mu went? It's been two months, and there's been no news from him. I'm afraid something has happened to him."

Her tone was full of worry, as if she really cared about Yi Mu's safety.

Pu Yin looked at Hua Chaochao and hesitated to speak. Was she going to tell the truth? She said that Yi Mu was being guarded by the old island owner and not allowed to leave the island because of her.

In the end, Pu Yin decided to conceal the truth and answered vaguely: "He... is fine, but... a little inconvenient."

"Oh, I see." Hua Chaochao nodded in understanding and didn't ask any more questions.

Pu Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Shi Yushan, who was wearing a white coat, came over and asked the three people, "What are you talking about?"

The reason why Shi Yushan appeared here was because of Pu Yin.

He came to see Pu Yin.

Pu Yin suddenly sent him a message today, saying that he had something to give him, which made him feel flattered.

"Nothing." When Pu Yin saw Shi Yushan coming over, he handed the bag in his hand to him.

"What is this?" Shi Yushan took the bag puzzledly and looked inside curiously, only to see an exquisite box inside.

"It's a set of antique surgical knives. I think it's very suitable for you, so I gave it to you." Pu Yin explained what it was and made it clear why she was giving it as a gift.

"Antique grade?" Shi Yushan was surprised when he heard this. "Wouldn't that be very expensive? No, I can't accept it."

After saying that, he quickly handed the bag back to Pu Yin.

"It's not expensive." Pu Yin didn't take the bag. She insisted, "You saved me before, I should repay you."

Pu Yin is such a persistent person. If others are nice to her, she will return the favor many times over.

Hua Chaochao, who was standing aside, couldn't help but raise her hand and rub her ears when she heard what Pu Yin said.

It sounded familiar, as if she had said something similar to her.

"I am a doctor. It is my responsibility to cure diseases and save lives."

Shi Yushan still insisted on returning the gift to Pu Yin, "This gift is too valuable, I really can't accept it."

Pu Yin still refused to take it back.

So, the two of them were deadlocked, one insisted on giving it away, and the other refused to accept it, and a tug of war ensued.

When they were at a stalemate, Hua Xi suddenly said, "Can I see what these knives look like?"

Hearing this, Pu Yin answered without hesitation: "Of course."

Then he reached into the bag, took out the box containing the knives, and opened it to show Hua Xi.

Shi Yushan also came over, his eyes fell on the knife, and then he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so beautiful."

It is worthy of being an antique-level surgical knife. Not only is it exquisite in appearance, but some of the handles are also inlaid with gems.

Compared with Shi Yushan's reaction, Hua Xi's reaction was much calmer.

She recognized it immediately: the set of surgical knives was the one that appeared at an auction last month.

She remembered that this set of knives was fought over by Room 2 and Room 12, and finally it was won by Room 12.

It turns out that Pu Yin was in private room number 12.

This means that she is from Lotus Island.

So, Yi Mu too.

If I'm not mistaken, Yi Mu should be on Lotus Island now.

"Brother, you should accept it. She took it especially for you. If you don't want it, it will be a waste of her kindness."

Hua Xi persuaded Shi Yushan to accept this set of knives. After all, it was obtained by competing with Wu Yongfu, the leader of the Spiritual Medicine Alliance. It was quite meaningful. Besides, Pu Yin was not short of this little money.

"You actually want me to accept it?" Shi Yushan was surprised by Hua Xi's words.

Then he suddenly realized and asked, "Wait, you just said 'bid'? Did you buy this set of knives at an auction?"

Shi Yushan realized the key information in Hua Xi's words. He shouted in surprise: "Won't the price at the auction be higher?"

Hua Xi: "It's not bad, just five million."

Pu Yin looked at Hua Xi in surprise, "You know the price? Were you also at that auction?"

Hua Xi nodded slightly to indicate her agreement.

Shi Yushan was so shocked by the "five million" Hua Xi said that he was stunned. It took him a while to come back to his senses and he shouted: "Five million?! These knives cost five million?! Isn't this really robbery?" He thought five hundred yuan was too expensive!

Upon hearing this, Hua Chaochao looked at Shi Yushan, and a hint of disapproval flashed across her eyes.

What happened to five million?

Her stuff alone is worth five million!

Oh, it’s not hers anymore. It was auctioned off for five million.

Thinking of this, Hua Chaochao immediately turned to Pu Yin, with a subtle hint of gratitude in his eyes——

Thank you for the five million you gave me!

Pu Yin did not notice Hua Chaochao's gaze, but continued to ask Hua Xi: "Which room are you in?"

Hua Xi replied: "Number seven."

When Pu Yin heard the number "seven", the scene of fierce bidding at that time instantly emerged in his mind, and he blurted out subconsciously: "Are you the one who bid 500 million for a pot of flowers?"

Hua Xi admitted frankly: "It's me."

"Five hundred million for a pot of flowers?!"

Compared to 500 million, 5 million doesn't seem so exaggerated.

Shi Yushan immediately forgot about the five million worth of knives and looked at Hua Xi in disbelief, "What kind of flowers would you spend five hundred million on?"

Shi Yushan knew clearly that his junior sister was definitely not someone who would spend money recklessly.

Hua Xi: "Night-shining flower."

Shi Yushan: "Is it the nearly extinct night-shining flower?"

He is Hua Xi's senior brother, so naturally he also knows the night-shining flower and its effects.

Hua Xi nodded.

"That's worth it." Before Shi Yushan could catch his breath, he realized something else -

"No! How come you are all so rich?" Could he be the only pauper?

Of course, compared with ordinary people, the assets of a nationally renowned doctor like Shi Yushan are naturally not small.

But compared with those people who spend millions or even hundreds of millions on buying something, he can really be considered a complete pauper.

Shi Yushan silently hugged himself in his heart, thinking of himself as a poor, poor guy.

Hua Xi ignored Shi Yushan and asked Pu Yin, "After the auction, did you go back to Lotus Island?"

According to common sense, if Pu Yin came to give the gift directly after the auction, it would be impossible for him to arrive today.

Pu Yin was not surprised that Hua Xi knew that he was from Lotus Island. After all, in the private room on the second floor, besides the people from Xuanzhou, there were only people from their Lotus Island.

"Yes." Pu Yin answered truthfully.

She did come to the imperial capital after returning to Lotus Island.

Hua Xi: "So the Shen family incident..."

Pu Yin knew what Hua Xi was going to ask, "He already knows."

During the auction, the news of Chen Huaiqin, the wife of the head of the Shen family, being murdered by Gu Tu was spreading widely, and Pu Yin naturally heard about it.

She went back to Lotus Island first because she wanted to tell Yi Mu about this matter. Otherwise, she would have come directly to the imperial capital after leaving Xuanzhou.

Hua Xi nodded and said nothing more.

In the end, Shi Yushan still accepted the set of surgical instruments worth five million.

……

At this moment, on Lotus Island.

The old Taoist priest and Xiao Hei, each with a chair and a plate of melon seeds, sat outside Yi Mu's room, eating them leisurely, and then did their daily meditation -

"Yi Mu, don't blame me, your master, for being cruel. Your mother was in trouble and entrusted you to me, so I must be worthy of her and protect you. So, if you don't break up with that girl, I will never let you step out of this house."

Ever since all of Yi Mu's communication equipment was confiscated two months ago and he was placed under house arrest, the old Taoist priest would come to Yi Mu every day and say something like this.
