After Mo Zhu finished dealing with the matters outside the door and returned to the room, Lu Zheng, who was in the bathtub, was already in extreme pain. The veins on the man’s neck bulged, his face was red, and his pupils constricted slightly. His hands were tightly gripping the wall of the bucket, and he did not dare to relax for a moment.

Seeing Lu Zheng’s sorry state, Mo Zhu took out her phone from her pocket and calmly looked at the time. It had been more than two hours since the medicinal bath started. It was indeed the critical period where the medicine could take effect.

The effects of these spirit herbs were so domineering. They were probably destroying the poison cells in Lu Zheng’s body.

Just as Mo Zhu stood by the bucket in silence and was deep in thought about how to perform acupuncture treatment for Lu Zheng later, the man in the bathtub frowned and groaned uncontrollably. “It’s too painful. I can’t stand it anymore. I might as well die…”

Lu Zheng was not joking. He was really in too much pain. This pain had already reached the point where he could not bear it anymore. At this moment, he was soaking in the bucket and he did not know how much time had passed. The only thing he could feel was the bone-piercing pain brought by the medicinal bath.

If he continued to endure this pain, he might as well end his life with a knife!

Seeing that Lu Zheng did not look like he could hold on any longer, Mo Zhu placed her phone back into her pocket and took out her acupuncture bag again. She casually took out a silver needle.

After disinfecting the silver needles, Mo Zhu carefully found the acupuncture point on Lu Zheng’s head. Without any hesitation, she directly inserted the silver needles into the point on the man’s head.

Patting her hands lightly, Mo Zhu glanced at Lu Zheng indifferently. Her fingers touched the man’s pulse to test the strength of it. She said in a low voice, “There’s less than an hour before the medicinal bath ends. This pain won’t accompany you for long. As long as you try your best and persist for a while more, the poison in your skin should be almost cured!”

After pausing for a few seconds, she noticed the sweat dripping from Lu Zheng’s forehead. She lowered her eyes and added, “Persevere a little longer. If you give up now, all your previous efforts will be in vain. Whether you live or die is up to you!”

At this moment, all Mo Zhu could do was to say a few more words to help Lu Zheng reestablish his confidence. Lu Zheng was her patient, and the Lu Corporation was still useful to her. Of course, Mo Zhu hoped that this man could try his best and persevere.

With Mo Zhu’s acupuncture just now, Lu Zheng felt that the pain in his body had lessened a little compared to before. He clenched his fists tightly and thought about how much effort he had put in all these years to get to where he was today. He had such a prominent status now. Lu Zheng raised his hand and pounded the wall of the bucket with all his might. He endured the pain and replied in a low voice, “Alright! I’ll continue!”

This hour was too unbearable. It was so long that Lu Zheng thought he would live his life in pain.

During this period, there were a few times when he felt that he could not hold on any longer. Every inch of his skin was screaming for him to give up, and he even fainted a few times from the pain.

However, every time he could not hold on any longer, Mo Zhu would always be very understanding and help him stimulate the acupuncture points on his head with the silver needles. After the acupuncture, his pain would ease a little.

After waking up again, Lu Zheng seemed to have thought of something and looked up at Mo Zhu with difficulty. He said in a low voice, “Ms. Mo, don’t wake me up the next time I faint. I’m unconscious and I don’t feel pain. It’s better than me living a life worse than death!”

Upon hearing Lu Zheng’s words, Mo Zhu shook her head and continued with a slight frown, “No, there are many types of poison mixed with the poison in the medicine in your body attacking each other. You have to be awake. If you faint completely, once the poison and poison fuse, you won’t be able to wake up again!”
