Chapter 33: Thirty-two, Divine Doctor Family
“Wait a minute!” Luo Shu suddenly spoke up.
The leading public security officer turned his head to look at Luo Shu, “Is there anything else?”
“I would like to settle this matter privately, is that possible?” Luo Shu asked. She knew that even if these people were taken to the Public Security Office, at most they would be given a few words of education before being released. Once they were out, even if they wouldn’t do anything, they would still harbor resentment towards her and Aunt Chen. Rather than that, she preferred to do a favor.
After a moment of thought, the leading public security officer nodded, “If you can’t resolve it, you can report it to the authorities again.”
“Alright, thank you!” Luo Shu said with a smile in thanks.
The lead public security officer nodded, taking his subordinates and leaving the scene.
Li Dae and her group saw the public security officers leave and instantly breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground, drained of strength. If they really had been taken to the Public Security Office, they would have lost all their face in the future.
Luo Shu stepped forward, looking coldly at Li Dae and her group, “I let you off not because I forgive you. The reason I did this is just because I find you pitiful. The other party is a stranger to you, yet you were willing to be a pawn for a few words she said and some untrue things on paper. Don’t you find that ridiculous?”
She sneered and continued, “Do you even recognize me? Are you sure about the things written on that paper? But I am certain, if you had injured someone this time, what would await you is the severe punishment of the law and expensive medical bills.”
“Exactly, do you think Luo Shu and her brother moved out of their home for no reason? Isn’t it because Luo Shu’s stepmother wanted to trade her for a dowry? Didn’t you see the family that made a scene at my house the other day? They were the fools. If it hadn’t been for Luo Shu’s kung fu, she would have been married off to the idiot long ago. What expectations could a girl have for her life after marrying an idiot?”
Aunt Chen sighed and continued, “Her stepmother has her own daughter, so why marry off Luo Shu? And about the claim that Luo Shu has been fooling around with stray men, have you seen any stray men? As for Luo Shu’s money, I know that it came from ginseng she found on the mountain and exchanged at Jimin Pharmacy. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Shopkeeper Liu—surely you’ll believe him.”
The more Li Dae and her group listened, the more ashamed they felt, realizing they had behaved improperly in this matter.
“Young lady, it was my moment of folly, I didn’t understand the situation properly, I owe you an apology,” said Li Dae as she stood up earnestly apologizing to Luo Shu.
“I also apologize to you!”
“Auntie promises that if anyone spreads rumors about you again, we will definitely not believe them,” one of them vowed.
“Aunt Chen, we were in the wrong just now, please forgive us,” another one pleaded.
Aunt Chen smiled and waved her hand dismissively, “It’s alright, it’s alright. We are all neighbors, and as long as you don’t believe those rumors anymore, that’s good enough.” When Luo Shu stopped the public security officers from taking Li Dae and the others away, she was somewhat puzzled, but now she understood completely. Everyone was neighbors, having lived side by side for decades, not wanting to truly become enemies when they saw each other so often.
Seeing that the issue was satisfactorily resolved, Luo Shu turned and went back to her room. As for the masterminds behind this incident, she would let them be pleased for a couple more days until she had finished treating the son of the leader Chen Zhihe was leading; then, she would deal with them slowly.
Watching Li Dae and her group leave, Aunt Chen closed the yard door, and came to Luo Shu’s side, “Luo Shu, when I went to the Public Security Office just now, I already made arrangements with Zhihe. Tomorrow morning, he will send a car to take us to his leader’s home.”
“Alright,” Luo Shu nodded in response.

“You must be tired after all that commotion this morning, huh? Aunt Chen will cook you some braised pork at noon to nourish you properly,” Aunt Chen said with a cheerful smile as she headed towards the kitchen.
Luo Shu smiled and shook her head, withdrawing her gaze to look at the seat across from her. It was where Lu Hanmo had sat the day before, she wondered if he had caught his train yet?
The train rumbled along the tracks, occasionally letting out a long whistle.
Lu Hanmo sat by the window, watching the scenery race backwards outside. If his grandfather’s illness hadn’t been so urgent, he really would have liked to see Luo Shu today, to tell her that he had fallen for her. He had missed his chance with her in his past life, but this time, he was determined not to miss it again.
“What are you thinking about?” Mo Shaoze asked from the opposite seat. Lu Hanmo had been in that posture for almost an hour now.
Lu Hanmo turned his gaze back, “Nothing.” Though Mo Shaoze was a good brother of his, he didn’t want to share the things he had dreamt about.
“Lu Hanmo, the next stop is Licheng City Station, why don’t I get off with you and head to the Divine Doctor Family?” Mo Shaoze said. Lu Hanmo had told him earlier in the morning that he had already called home and would be making a stop at the Divine Doctor Family first.
“No need, you go to Jinchen first,” Lu Hanmo replied. The Divine Doctor Family was reclusive and had strange rules, and even though he had a token, only one person could enter. These were the things that Luo Shu had told him when she gave him the token.
Mo Shaoze sighed helplessly, “Alright then, be careful on your own.”
Having disembarked from the train, Lu Hanmo took a bus to the Manosan Mountain scenic area, where the Divine Doctor Family resided deep within the mountain.
Though parts of Manosan Mountain had been developed for tourism, the larger area was still pristine forest.
From a distance, the undulating Qingshan mountains soared into the clouds like they were carved with knives and axes, their grandeur and magnificence striking.
Lu Hanmo moved quickly toward the mountain path, the steep route hardly bothering him, but even so, it was dark before he finally saw a stone stele marked “Divine Doctor Family.”
“Lu Hanmo seeks an audience with the Divine Doctor Family!” Lu Hanmo cupped his hands and bowed toward the direction of the stele.
Before long, a young man clad in a long robe with a very handsome appearance came out. He gave Lu Hanmo a perfunctory glance, “Do you have a token?”
Lu Hanmo took out the token from his pocket and handed it over to the young man.
The young man took the token, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes when he saw it, “Follow me, and remember to stay in step with me.” Formations surrounded the Divine Doctor Family, so even if someone were to find the place, they couldn’t enter without someone from inside guiding them.
Lu Hanmo nodded and followed the young man’s steps. With just one step forward, the surroundings changed, and a bamboo forest appeared before his eyes, with a winding path leading deep into it.
After about a quarter of an hour, a series of delicately constructed ancient courtyards appeared before Lu Hanmo, almost making him believe he had stumbled upon a hidden paradise. In his past life, although he’d become good friends with the Young Master of the Divine Doctor Family, Luo Qianyu, he had never had the chance to visit this place.
