Chapter 114 Not Trustworthy

Mu Xia's expression became serious.

"Traditional Chinese medicine has been in existence for thousands of years and it is a very profound field of knowledge. Moreover, there are many people learning it now; so how can you look down on it as a Chinese?"

As Luo Yi's family owned a modern medicine hospital, he naturally looked down on traditional Chinese medicine.

Amused, he said, "I'm not saying that traditional Chinese medicine is useless. It can cure cold and fever, but isn't it ridiculous to suggest that it can treat a psychological illness too?"

Mu Xia frowned.

Her adoptive parents were currently doing research on that. After a few experiments, they discovered that it was actually effective. Yet, Luo Yi rejected all of their efforts just like that. She said disapprovingly, "I'm not being ridiculous. If you agree, I can give it a shot."

Luo Yi refused without any hesitation.

"There's no need for that. If traditional Chinese medicine's as amazing as you claim it is, you can use it for your DNA test."

"You…"

Mu Xia was at a loss for words, not knowing how to rebuke him.

However, Ye Sijue immediately said, "Just let her try."

Luo Yi and Mu Xia looked at him simultaneously.

Luo Yi protested, "Jue you know very well how important that guy is to us."

Ye Sijue replied calmly, "I let her give it a shot precisely because he's important. If we stick to modern treatments, we'll have to wait for a year. We are facing a lot more obstacles now. In fact, my life and Haoxuan's are being threatened, yet we don't even know who the enemy is. Do you think that we can afford to wait for another year?"

Luo Yi fell silent.

「It's true that we can't wait for so long. Who knows what the opponent's next step would be?」

Mu Xia glanced at Ye Sijue in surprise.

「Strangely, he seems to trust me a lot. Is it because I've saved him before? Since he trusts me so much, I will not disappoint him.」

She took in a deep breath and said, "There are a lot of side-effects associated with modern medicine, but there's none for traditional Chinese medicine. Even if I fail, it won't be your loss at all."

When Luo Yi heard that, the wary look in his eyes faded slightly.

"Fine, then let's give it a shot. Just don't kill the person."

"Don't worry, even if I don't cure him, I will not let anything happen to the patient."

"Let's go now."

Luo Yi headed out.

"Wait…" interrupted Mu Xia embarrassedly. "Can you please prepare a set of clothes for me? Also, I can't leave from the front door. There are countless pairs of eyes staring at this room right now."

Ye Sijue said, "Get her a set of clothes and some ropes. If we could not leave from the front door, we'll have to flip through the window."

Luo Yi nodded. "When I entered, I could feel that someone is guarding the entrance of the hotel. However, you said in your call that I shouldn't alert others, so I deliberately wore a hotel staff's uniform. I came up while avoiding the watchful eyes. However, this is the eleventh floor. Even if we can climb down, can she? Are you going to carry her down?"

Ye Sijue was about to say that he would carry Mu Xia down, when she interrupted curtly, "You don't have to worry about that. I can climb down myself."

The two men stared at her simultaneously. After meeting Mu Xia's determined gaze, Ye Sijue turned back and instructed Luo Yi, "Go and prepare everything."

Although Luo Yi was still suspicious, he still left the room.

Soon, he brought back everything that was needed. After changing into her clothes, Mu Xia was the first to grab the ropes on the floor. "As I'm wearing the hotel staff's uniform, I won't attract much attention. I'll go down first to keep a lookout for both of you."

Luo Yi could not help but remind her, "Ms. Mu, we're on the eleventh floor. Are you sure you can go down alone?"
