Chapter: 4913
Leaf Chen decided not to stay at Fei's house tonight because he needed to refine elixir, and besides, Chen Zekai and Hong Wu were with him. So he planned to stay at the White Gold Han Palace Hotel in New York.
He then told Fei Ke Xin: "Don't bother yourself about it, I'll go to the White Gold Han Palace tonight. You prepare the medicinal materials and come straight to my room there."
Fei Ke Xin was a bit disappointed but still agreed readily: "Okay, Mr. Leaf. Please send me the list, and I'll prepare it as soon as possible."
Leaf Chen subsequently sent Fei Ke Xin a list of all the medicinal materials needed for refining heavy elixir.
Among them, some were extremely precious, but at least they weren't as rare as the phoenix bone.
With the phoenix bone, other materials should be relatively easy to procure.
Once the materials are prepared, Leaf Chen will be able to refine heavy elixir directly in New York.
After that, it will be possible to let He Yingxiao and Ito Taro, as well as Tanaka Hiroshi, all fly to New York at once, thus resolving all their problems in one go.
Thinking about Ito Taro, Leaf Chen couldn't help but recall Ito Naoki.
I myself and this gentle and kind woman, Ando Sako, have been out of touch for some days now.
Although I don't want to acknowledge it, I know deep down that I've always missed her.
If Ito Taro were to come to America, I'm sure Ito Naoki would definitely accompany him, and we'd be able to meet up then.
However, Leaf Chen didn't really have any ulterior motives, but was hoping subconsciously to use this opportunity to see her.
Next, Leaf Chen feared that his wife, Xiao Chuanyan, might worry about Ma Lan, so he picked up his phone to call her.
The phone rang, and Xiao Chuanyan asked, "Honey, where are you now?"
Leaf Chen replied, "I've flown out to help Mom find some connections. I'm just getting ready to head back to New York. Has Mom been in touch with you over the past two days?"
"Yes," Xiao Chuanyan sighed and said, "Honey, I was actually about to call you. Mom just called me a minute ago. Do you know what she was saying on the phone?"
"Leaf Chen already had a rough idea, but he still asked curiously, 'What did Mom say?'"
"Xiao Chuanyan helplessly said, 'Mom was saying on the phone that she's getting along very well in prison. She originally wanted to call you, but your phone didn't answer, so she called me and asked me to pass it on to you, saying that she doesn't need to rush out for now, so you shouldn't hurry to get her out either... She also said that as long as she can catch up with us to return to the country, it's fine; if not, she can go back after she gets out of prison...’"
As Xiao Chuanyan spoke, he became a bit anxious and asked, 'Old husband, is my mom going crazy? How did she get hooked on being in prison and voluntarily doesn't want to leave...?'"
Leaf Chen chuckled twice to himself, thinking inwardly, 'My silly wife, if you only knew that your mom is now a ghost-like character at Bedford Mountain, I'm sure you could understand why she doesn't want to leave...’"
However, Leaf Chen didn't say much more and just comforted her, saying, 'Wife, I think Mom is also not wanting us to rush, so that's why she said that.'"
Xiao Chuanyan said seriously, 'My mom isn't the kind of person who considers others; she only has two possibilities: either she's being coerced or she's really enjoying herself in prison.'"
Leaf Chen felt a sigh inwardly and comforted her with a smile, saying, 'Don't worry, it's not like a lawless place inside, so there shouldn't be anyone coercing her. As for the second possibility, I think it might be that she's made new friends or wants to experience life in prison; who knows? And I also got some help from my clients in New York to find connections, so maybe we can take care of her while she's inside.'"
Xiao Chuanyan sighed and said helplessly, 'To be honest, I didn't catch what she was saying on the phone when she called me. Her tone sounded strange, like she was really happy but trying not to let it show... I'm just confused...'" JrNovels.com
