The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More

Chapter 388: Discovering Something Wrong

The next day, as Huo Xuan had mentioned in advance that he had booked a plane for this trip, Mo Zhu wasn’t in a hurry. She slept until she woke up naturally before instructing Mo Wu to bring her to the research institute to pack the luggage and belongings she had brought with her.

When Mo Zhu arrived, the participating students and supervising teachers of the research institute had already taken a private plane to Country N, leaving only a few staff members to clean the venue.

She walked around the empty square with familiarity and passed through a few small roads. Mo Zhu quickly arrived at the dormitory building and prepared to pack her things and bring them away.

When she arrived at the dormitory door, she inserted the key into the lock and opened the door with all her might. Just as she opened the door, she was attracted by an unusual “oil stain” behind the closet.

Frowning slightly, Mo Zhu took two steps forward and stared intently at the small drop of oil that was already slightly smudged. She lowered her eyes and pondered quietly.

When she first received the dormitory key, she was the first to enter. As her results were good and she was the first to choose a bed and cabinet, she had personally checked every corner of the dormitory. If she was not wrong, the staff of the research institute had cleaned the dormitory area very well. It was impossible for such traces of “oil stains” to appear here.

Mo Zhu lowered her eyes and gently tore off a small piece of paper from a corner of the exercise book on the table. She squatted down and simply dipped it in the “oil stain”. She placed it under her nose and smelled it before observing it carefully for a few seconds. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and her expression instantly darkened.

On the surface, this “oil stain” didn’t look anything special, but after careful observation, as long as one approached it, they would be able to smell a special fragrance from it. And this fragrance was something Mo Zhu had smelled on Huo Xuan when she rushed to the Kang family to pick him up the day before yesterday.

If her judgment was correct, the predecessor of this “oil stain” might be what was used to drug Huo Xuan that day!

Thinking of this, Mo Zhu’s eyes instantly turned cold. She packed her things neatly and didn’t stay at the research institute any longer. She got into Mo Wu’s car and instructed him to drive to the airport to meet Huo Xuan.

After getting on the plane, Mo Zhu looked out the window at the blue sky and white clouds along the way, thinking about the “oil stain” she had discovered in the dormitory. Seeing that the girl looked like she had something on her mind, Huo Xuan didn’t take the initiative to disturb her.

An hour later, the plane stopped at Country N’s international airport. Someone opened the door for Mo Zhu. She listened to the guide’s arrangements and unbuckled her seatbelt before getting off the plane.

Just as he walked out of the airport, someone Huo Xuan knew drove over to pick him up. When he saw them walk out, a man from Country N who looked to be in his thirties welcomed them with a smile. He said in fluent Chinese, “Mr. Huo, it’s been a long time. How have you been in Country Z recently?”

When Huo Xuan heard this, he also smiled and shook hands with the person. “It’s pretty good. Business here is pretty good too, right?”

Upon hearing Huo Xuan’s question, the person’s expression froze slightly. He rubbed his palms nervously and said in a low voice, “It’s alright, Mr. Huo.”

Just as he finished speaking, Huo Xuan glanced at him with a fake smile and said lightly, “Mi Lai, I thought you didn’t want to see me? It’s really unexpected. You’re the first person to pick me up when I just arrived in Southeast Asia!”

The man Huo Xuan called Mi Lai scratched his head and continued with a terrified expression, “How is that possible? Mr. Huo, Country N welcomes you. Why wouldn’t we be willing to see you? You’re the most respected guest we have welcomed in the past few months!”

After saying this, he put on a respectful expression and bent down slightly to open the car door for Huo Xuan. He invited him very politely, “Mr. Huo, we have specially prepared a welcoming banquet for you. Please do us the honor of taking a look.”

Huo Xuan nodded and turned around to instruct Mo Wu to escort Mo Zhu to the competition venue. Then, he got into the car and left the airport with Mi Lai.
