BXBX NOVEL Chapter 263 Trouble Occurs
Bai Chen’s eyes suddenly sparkled when he saw the large amount of four-petaled dewdrop flowers that had been planted.
He could not help but think that he could now complete mission 30.
“Just quickly grab one and I’m out of here,” Bai Chen said to himself. It was obvious that he only needed one flower.
Also, he did not plan to tell the police about this underground plot of poisonous flowers because it did not concern him at all.
Actually, he should even thank the owner of this plot. If not for the person who had planted the flower, Bai Chen would not have been able to complete the mission
Even if the planting of this particular herb was against the law.
Bai Chen started to walk towards the four-petaled dewdrop flower plot. He was not in a rush, even though he thought that he should be.
However, he was not too far from the plot. Actually, it was pretty close to him.
In less than a minute, Bai Chen was in front of the four-petaled dewdrop flower plot. Without wasting any more time, he bent down and reached out his hand for the closest flower.
However, before he picked it up, he heard a noise. Someone was coming down the ladder!
Bai Chen’s face twitched a little. He thought that it would be bad if that person found out that he was here to steal a flower.
He had to leave the flower alone for the time being.
In that instant, he rushed to hide behind one of two water tanks. They seemed to be used for watering the four-petaled dewdrop flowers.
“Kang, you slacker. Why did you forget to close up the pond?”
While Bai Chen was hiding behind the water tank, he heard the voice of an old man. He was slightly familiar with it.
‘This voice… Seems like I’ve heard it somewhere before,’ Bai Chen thought.
He finally realised it a moment later. He could not help but widen his eyes because the voice that he’d just heard was none other than that of the old man Lu Heng, whom Li Lin had called grandfather Lu!
‘How can it be him?!?’ Bai Chen did not expect that it would be the old man Lu Heng.
While he was thinking this, he heard another voice. It was the voice of a middle-aged man. He was the one whom the old man Lu Heng called ‘Kang’ just now.
“I’m sorry, boss. I just forgot.”
Even though he said that he could not help but think that he had surely closed the pond up. Who would dare open it back up?
Of course, he’d said that because he was afraid of punishment by the old man Lu Heng.
“All right then. They’ll likely be ready to harvest in the next couple of days.”
The old man Lu Heng did not care much about it. The only thing that he was concerned about was the harvest that would take place several days from now.
“And when are we distilling them into drugs?” Kang asked.
The old man Lu Heng swept his eyes around the plot proudly before replying, “Also in several days. After we’re done with the harvest.”
“Understood, boss.” Kang nodded and did not ask anything more.
“But we have to be careful. If the police know, things will be complicated.” The old man Lu Heng suddenly spoke. He could not help but think about Bai Chen. He was not sure whether Bai Chen was a spy or not.
“Yes, boss,” Kang responded. Then, he asked, “You want to take a look at them first or are you going back?”
“Taking a little look won’t hurt.” The old man walked around the plot happily with Kang behind him.
They did not even know that what they had been talking about had already been heard. The one who heard about the matter was Bai Chen.
“Distilling them into drugs?” Bai Chen’s facial expression drastically changed. He tightened his fists without realising it.
He did not expect that the four-petaled dewdrop flower could be distilled into drugs!
‘Did the old man Lu lie to us?’ Bai Chen could not help but think of this truth.
If the four-petaled dewdrop flower was really poisonous, it should not be able to be distilled into drugs, as it would be bad for the addicts.
‘He surely lied about it to us.’
Even though he was not sure about it, Bai Chen believed in his own conclusion.
His face turned cold. His eyes, too.
He sneaked a peek at the old man Lu Heng and Kang through the water tank.
The reason why he acted like this was that the old man Lu Heng seemed to be close to Li Lin. She probably did not know about his secret.
Bai Chen was afraid that if he let this old man continue living, Li Lin would be in danger too.
That was why his face and eyes had turned cold.
Bai Chen started to feel the urge to kill the old man Lu Heng!
Bei Chen did not hesitate to reveal himself after this thought. He walked out from behind the tank.
“Old man! You dared to trick me!” he shouted.
Hearing Bai Chen shout, the old man Lu Heng and Kang’s facial expressions changed drastically. Their eyes tensed. They turned to look at Bai Chen.
The old man Lu Heng suddenly trembled when he saw Bai Chen. “You’re the boy from this afternoon!”
“Who are you?” Kang asked because he did not know Bai Chen.
He knew now who had opened up the pond. It was Bai Chen, the man in front of him.
Bai Chen did not say anything. He looked at the old man Lu Heng coldly before running towards him. He intended to kill the old man here before Li Lin was put in danger.
“Damn it! This rude kid! When adults ask something, you should answer!” Kang suddenly got angry.
The old man Lu Heng did not expect this to happen. He quickly drew a gun that he had hidden in the back of his pants when he saw Bai Chen running towards him.
“Don’t move. If you do, I’ll shoot you in the gut!” The old man Lu Heng spoke through his teeth.
Bai Chen abruptly stopped running. However, his eyes did not show any sign of fear. He believed that he could evade the old man’s bullets even before he shot them with his low-grade martial arts technique.
“Heh! Scared of guns, kiddo?!?” Kang mocked Bai Chen before taking his gun out and pointing it at Bai Chen.
“Actually, I didn’t want to kill you, but you asked for it!” the old man Lu Heng said and shook his head. His eyes glittered with malice.
He was ready to kill Bai Chen!
