Chapter 2592 — Little Shu's Name

"Oh, that!" Wei Zhao's face cleared. "If you have something to say, just say it. Why talk in riddles? You mean Zhu the Second's injuries—I can treat him at any time. But there is one problem: once I heal him, how will you explain it to the Hidden Zhao Family?"
"That…" Chief Zhu's expression changed at once. Yes—if Zhu the Second's injuries suddenly healed, what was he supposed to say? Zhu the Second's wounds were no lighter than Elder Bi's. As far as anyone had heard, the only ones in this world who could cure such injuries were Wei Zhao and the Great Return Pill, a third-grade pill of the Mysterious Pill Sect. But with the Hidden Zhao Family's resources, obtaining a Great Return Pill was impossible—let alone for a mere Chief Zhu!
If Zhu the Second's injuries were suddenly to vanish, it would be strange indeed if the Hidden Zhao Family did not grow suspicious! And when they came asking questions, Chief Zhu truly would not know how to answer.
"So the treatment is possible, but you must think of a flawless excuse. If you say I healed him, your identity will be exposed," Wei Zhao said.
"Alas, I was too impatient. I never considered that angle…" Chief Zhu gave a bitter smile. "Then I'd better take my brother back for now, and wait until we've found a suitable excuse."
"Hmm… you've already brought Zhu the Second here?" Wei Zhao was mildly startled.
"Yes, he's in the car outside the gate," Chief Zhu said.
"I see…" Hearing that Zhu the Second had already arrived, Wei Zhao found it awkward to send him away again. He was still weighing the dilemma when Shen Yushu spoke up.
"Arrow-Brand Bro, that's easy—Little Shu has a great idea!" Shen Yushu had overheard the whole conversation between Wei Zhao and Chief Zhu. She did not know why Chief Zhu had turned traitor, but so long as he now counted as one of Wei Zhao's subordinates, Little Shu ought to lend him a hand.
"Oh? Miss Chen, what's your idea? If it truly works, you'll be the savior of both Zhu brothers!" Chief Zhu's heart stirred, and he turned to Shen Yushu at once, asking eagerly.
"Miss? How ugly! You must call me the Universe's Top-Grade Invincible Adorable Genius Prophecy-Keeping All-Purpose Detective Spy Shu-007!" Shen Yushu declared.
"Very well, then… Universe's Top-Grade Invincible Adorable Genius Prophecy-Keeping All-Purpose Detective Spy Shu-007, what is your brilliant idea…" Chief Zhu repeated the long string of words, black lines of exasperation running down his face. Thank heavens his memory was good, or he would surely have forgotten it!
Holy crap! After repeating it all, Chief Zhu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Heh heh heh heh… First, have Arrow-Brand Bro heal your brother's injuries, but when you go back, don't breathe a word—keep pretending he's still wounded!" Shen Yushu said.
"That part's easy enough. As long as he doesn't circulate his inner-energy method, no one can tell how strong he is… But this can only be hidden for a while, not for a lifetime, can it?" Chief Zhu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Who said anything about hiding it that long? Just a little while is enough!" Shen Yushu said. "You only need to do this and that… heh heh heh heh heh…"
