Bai Zhi had a bad premonition in her heart. There was no such coincidence in the world. Unless it was deliberate.

Seeing Bai Zhi’s eyebrows were frowning. The joy Dongfang Mu was feeling disappeared. He busily asked: “What’s the matter?”

Bai Zhi looked at the obvious pseudonym on the list, Li Si huh,? Why not call himself Zhang San?

Boss Liu said: “I’m afraid that Zhi’er is doubting the authenticity of this book of theory of strange pulse.”

Bai Zhi nodded her head.

Boss Liu said: “I don’t want to hide it from you, I also doubt that there is such a coincidence in this world. I didn’t say anything about collecting the book of theory of strange pulse, nor see anyone who is selling it. I just said I will accept the book. Before the news spread wide outside, someone brought it right away, and they refused to reveal their identity, pretending to be so mysterious, like a ghost.”

Bai Zhi raised her head and said to Boss Liu: “It doesn’t matter whether it is true or not. When he comes, please pay more attention to it.”

Boss Liu nodded his head immediately: “Of course, as long as this guy enters the Liu Family Firm, we will not let him go. Don’t worry, I will let people know you then.”

Dongfang Mu said: “Leave us a good seat but don’t let me sit in the lobby like last time. Otherwise, I will not let you go.”

Boss Liu laughed and said: “Last time, you came here all of a sudden, so how will I find a good seat for you? It’s already nice that you have a place to sit. But since Zhi’er is coming, I will definitely give her a good VIP room, so you can also be dazzled.”

After coming out of the Liu Trading firm, they went to the carriage and went back home. Dongfang Mu saw that Bai Zhi looking down and frowning her eyebrows. He didn’t know what she was thinking, so he asked: “Are you still thinking about that theory of strange pulse?”

Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Well, I suspect that it was Song Lang’s ghost. He knew I was looking for the theory of strange pulse .”

Dongfang Mu coldly snorted: “Since you suspect him, it’s better to arrest him tonight and let him taste all the thirty-six tortures. I don’t believe he will not speak after tasting them.”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “No, I’m just guessing. There is no actual evidence to prove it. Besides, you already know his whereabouts, but Hu Feng didn’t catch him last night. Since he did so, he must be still useful. How can you suddenly stun snakes now?”

Dongfang Mu smiled and said, “You girl, you are very careful. Indeed, as you said, Yan’er and I have a plan, hoping to completely defeat Chu Feng with this.”

On the 20th of the first lunar month, at the Liu Trading Firm.

Bai Zhi looked at the book wrapped in layers of parchment. The book was very old and the blue cover had long been damaged. Fortunately, the contents inside were still intact.

She looked at the book titled the theory of strange pulse in a daze while kept turning the pages. The content in the book was indeed about strange pulse conditions. There was a chapter that she had seen in modern times. It was almost the same.

This, this is really the book of theory of strange pulse?

She thought that she would encounter more trouble before getting this book, but she didn’t expect that the book would have been delivered to her before the auction started.

Boss Liu was also dumbfounded: “This is really a miracle. The seller ruined the opportunity to auction this stuff and insisted on giving it away. I have never heard of this kind of thing.”

Bai Zhi became more and more sure that the person who has this book was Song Lang.

But why would he do this? Didn’t he want Princess Qianfang to die in Chu Palace? What does he mean by giving this to her?

It was a pity that no one else showed up. It was simply an ordinary servant who delivered the goods.

After turning another page of the book, she saw a note with two sentences written on it.
