Bai Jiang accepted the money from her senior brother. With the funds in hand, she could do more things.

With this in mind, Bai Jiang immediately called Xu Liang, who operated the excavator.

“Sister Liang, are you available tomorrow? I need your help,” Bai Jiang said.

Xu Liang was thrilled to hear about a job opportunity and her eyes lit up.

“Yes, yes, of course. Is it about digging the mountain again? You’re a regular customer, so I can give you a 12% discount, how about that?” Xu Liang said with a smile.

“Yes, I want to continue excavating the back mountain and complete the remaining work,” Bai Jiang replied.

“Okay, I’ll be there sharp at 8:00 tomorrow morning,” Xu Liang said, pausing for a moment before asking, “What are you planning to do after excavating the back mountain?”

“I plan to open a pharmacy in the future and grow some medicinal herbs in the back mountain,” Bai Jiang said.

Xu Liang was astonished and puzzled. Growing medicinal herbs?

Although the mountain seemed large, it wouldn’t be enough to sustain a pharmacy solely with the herbs grown in the back mountain.

“Are you planning to be self-sufficient?” Xu Liang asked curiously.

“No, not exactly. I’ll only grow some valuable medicinal herbs,” Bai Jiang replied without going into further details. It was already a commercial matter, and Xu Liang wouldn’t understand even if she explained.

Xu Liang nodded gently and asked, “Have you called the construction team? Do you need me to help you find some people?”

“Is that possible? Well, to be honest, I don’t know anyone from the construction team, and I haven’t finalized the design plans yet. But it’s not urgent to have the construction team come over. Let me hire someone to design the house first. You can come and help me dig the back mountain for now,” Bai Jiang explained.

After finalizing the time, the two hung up the phone.

Xu Liang stood at the doorway and glanced at the excavator parked in the yard. Just then, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a notification of money being deposited into her account.

Bai Jiang had left a message along with the deposit, “This is the deposit. Sister Liang, I wish you a smooth start tomorrow!”

A gentle smile appeared on Xu Liang’s face.

Later that evening, Bai Jiang was preparing to organize the wild ginseng in her space. She was about to inquire with the system whether she could cultivate medicinal herbs on the vacant land.

Before she could ask, her phone rang.

Bai Jiang exited the space, took out her phone, and saw that it was a call from her master.

“Hello, Master.”

On the other end of the phone, her master let out a soft hum. “Why haven’t you called me? Have you forgotten that I am your master?”

“No, of course not, Master! How could you say that? I’ve been busy since I returned, and I was planning to call you when I had some free time. Otherwise, I won’t even have time to chat with you if I’m too occupied,” Bai Jiang explained.

“Humph, all excuses!” Doctor Yu said on the other end of the phone.

Bai Jiang was about to say something when Doctor Yu suddenly sighed. He said to her, “Jiang’er, do you remember what I said before you left?”

Bai Jiang was startled, and suddenly remembered that her master had said before she left the Jing Capital, “You must not reveal your medical skills.”

“Back then, I was proud and arrogant. He thought his medical skills were superior, but he did not expect to be framed. As a result, my current physical condition has become like this.”

Bai Jiang also signed and said, “Master, don’t worry. I remember.”

“That’s good. Do you have any difficulties at home? Do you need my help? How is the baby’s health?” Doctor Yu asked.

“Master, don’t worry. The baby is doing well, and her health has improved. I don’t have any difficulties either. Senior brother just sent me some money,” Bai Jiang replied with a smile.

“By the way, someone has been investigating you recently,” Doctor Yu revealed.

“Who is it?” Bai Jiang furrowed her brow.

“I don’t know. Their identity is extremely secretive. I tried to investigate in return, but couldn’t find anything,” Doctor Yu explained.

“Master, I’ll be fine. No matter who is investigating me, I have you and my senior brother behind me. I believe everything will be fine,” Bai Jiang said with confidence.

Hearing Bai Jiang’s words, Doctor Yu could sense her good mood and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

“Alright, it’s getting late. I should rest, and you should get some sleep too,” Doctor Yu said before hanging up the phone.

After the call ended, the smile on Bai Jiang’s face faded.

Who was investigating her? And for what purpose?

Bai Jiang furrowed her brows deeply, her mind quickly running through several names of people with status and backgrounds who had sought her medical treatment in the past.
