First Miss Badass
Chapter 23: How Is It Possible?
“Secretary Shen.” Old Master Chi smiled and greeted him.
Shen Yin gave the gift box in her hand to him. “Our Old Master originally came to attend your birthday banquet, but his health has not been very good lately. He has heart but no power. I'm here to pray for you to live a long and healthy life on behalf of our Old Master. May your happiness be as boundless as the East China Sea.”
Old Master Chi took the gift box and kept it. He asked anxiously, “Is Old Shen's condition serious anymore?”
Old Master Shen suffered from a lung disease, and his health deteriorated year after year.
Chi Yan looked at Shen Yin with a burning gaze. Just as he was about to say that he might be able to help Old Master Shen, he saw Shen Yin's gaze land on the dried flower in Old Master Chi's hands.
Then, an expression of excitement appeared on his normally calm and composed face.
“Uncle Chi, I want to see the dried flowers in your hands. Is that okay?” Shen Yin bowed, unable to hide the excitement on her face.
“Of course.” Old Master Chi gave her dried flowers.
Shen Yin accepted it carefully. Opening the plastic bag, she took out a small dried flower and brought it closer to her eyes to check it out.
Chi Jiao took this opportunity to look at Old Master Chi with a smile. “Grandfather, my head hurts a little. I want to go back first.”
Old Master Chi knew that he was weak, so he did not force him to stay. “Go, tell your father and have the driver drive you back.”
Chi Jiao nodded obediently and turned to leave.
Chi Yan and Zhu Limin looked at Shen Yin blankly. They were no longer interested in paying attention to Chi Jiao.
What kind of person is Shen Yin?
An old fry that never showed his emotions.
What kind of charm do those dried flowers have that makes them so vibrant?
Chi Yan's expression changed instantly. He suddenly stood up and looked at her in disbelief. “Secretary Shen, you said that this is the Nine Star Flower?!”
How could it be the Nine Star Flower?
The Nine Star Flower was a new type of medicinal herb. Three months ago, when it was first released on the market, it had caused an incredible sensation. It was because this kind of medicinal herb could actually guard one's organs and extend its lifespan. However, since it was too difficult to cultivate, the number was extremely rare.
It was only listed for a day on the market before it actually sold out.
Back at the S911 laboratory, Chi Yan heard their guidance teacher talking about the Nine-Star Flower in awe. He believed that the person who had cultivated the Nine Star Flower was an incredible genius. If only they could recruit him to the lab, that would be great.
Chi Yan had never seen the Nine Star Flower before, but he relied on his connections in an attempt to buy and study it.
“Yes, this must be the Nine Star Flower! I've seen him with my family's Old Master before. I will never misinterpret it!” Shen Yin smiled excitedly.
“That hickhead actually gave the Nine Star Flower as a gift..” Chi Yan's face was filled with disbelief.
The Nine Star Flower was developed by the person known as Mystery J, who had developed many new medicinal herbs. He is now a legend in the world of medicine.
Mystery J has kept a very low profile. Almost no one knew his true identity, not even his gender.
“What is Nine Star Flower?” Zhu Limin asked, frowning.
Shen Yin ignored his question and looked at Old Master Chi excitedly and expectantly. “Old Master Chi, who gave you this Nine-Star Flower? Can you introduce him to me?”
His family's Old Master only obtained one gram of Nine-Star Flowers, while he had at least half a catties in his plastic bag.
For someone who possessed so many Nine Star Flowers, could it be related to Mystery J?
