Confiscated the property and exiled? I emptied the warehouse and fled the famine.

'Big Brother Xiao'? Xiao Yi was stunned. It was the first time he heard someone call him Big Brother Xiao.

"Well, please take a look at that doctor."

Xiao Yi ignored Lu Yunruo and walked to Pei Yan who was sitting outside, "Boss, I have something to tell you."

Pei Yan crossed his legs, took a sip of tea, smacked his lips and smiled, "Is it about that girl? Although she is a criminal now, don't forget the rules of our Dongling that as long as it is not the death penalty, it can be redeemed. And from my observation, this Ruan is definitely not that simple. With her in the Lu family, it won't fail. I, your elder brother, have been watching for so many years and I won't be wrong."

"What are you talking about, boss? She's still a little girl. Stop talking nonsense. I want to tell you something serious. I suspect that this incident of Ruan's is related to Zhang Long."

Pei Yan put down the teacup in his hand and sat up straight, "What's going on?"

"Zhang Long is not here?" Xiao Yi looked around. He asked Zhang Long to come over but there was no sign of Zhang Long here.

"No, I've only seen that girl and you during this long time here." Pei Yan's eyes became serious. If this matter was related to Zhang Long, then things might be far more complicated than he imagined. Zhang Long was stuffed in by his superiors before he set off. Could it be that... Pei Yan didn't dare to think any further.

"Boss, you take care of Ruan first. I'll go find Zhang Long."

Pei Yan nodded. After Xiao Yi left, Pei Yan really wanted to drown himself with a mouthful of silver. Why were there so many troubles in this trip to transport the prisoners? None of them could be resolved. This was the first time he had to hire a doctor for a prisoner.

"Sir, the girl's injuries are not serious. I have already prescribed some medicine for her. She will wake up in a short while after inhaling the drug. As for her fainting, it may be due to excessive blood loss."

He had been practicing medicine for many years and he could tell at a glance that these people were not ordinary people. However, it was his rule that he did not ask questions that he was not supposed to ask when he was paid to treat their illnesses.

"I understand. You go first."

Pei Yan was very annoyed. He didn't want to have anything to do with the higher-ups, but the Lu family was holding important prisoners and he would not be able to report if something happened. He was just a small officer escorting prisoners, so how could he be involved in such a thing?

"Sir, my seventh sister-in-law has woken up."

Pei Yan limped into the room. Ruan Yunsheng was leaning on the bed, his face a little pale due to his injury.

"What on earth is going on with Ruan?"

"I wanted to buy some women's products, so I separated from Mr. Xiao for a while. When I was about to meet him after buying them, someone covered my mouth and knocked me unconscious in an alley. When I woke up, I was already in a room with my hands and feet tied up and a cloth stuffed in my mouth. I tried to untie the rope and tried to run away, but someone found me and pulled me back. That's when I got the injuries on my body. Fortunately, I pretended to be unconscious and sneaked out when the man went to the toilet."

Ruan Yunsheng clenched the quilt tightly with both hands, his body trembling slightly. Pei Yan tried to see something in Ruan Yunsheng's eyes, but could see nothing but panic and fear.

Ruan Yunsheng glanced at Pei Yan stealthily. In fact, she was indeed tied up in a room, but she took a pair of scissors from the space to cut the rope herself. She also knocked out the guard at the door with anesthetic. As for the injuries on her body, they were naturally caused by herself. Otherwise, how could she explain the time she was missing?

On her way back, she realized that this matter was definitely not that simple. Someone must have deliberately planned it, with the purpose of making the Lu family suppress the charge of escape, so that the Lu family would be killed without a doubt. That person's target should be any member of the Lu family, but she happened to be alone with Xiao Yi, which gave that person the opportunity to take action.

But fortunately it was her. She had her own space and a mall, so it would not be so easy for others to harm her. If it was anyone else in the Lu family, they would probably have to bear the charge of being a fugitive.

For some reason, Pei Yan always felt that Ruan Yunsheng's words were weird. Obviously, what she said made sense and was logical, but something was not right, as if it was too smooth.

"you······"

"Boss, Zhang Long is dead."

Xiao Yi frowned, he originally wanted Zhang Long to find Pei Yan, but he didn't expect that it would cost Zhang Long's life. This meant that their every word and action was being watched by someone, otherwise that person would not have taken action against Zhang Long so quickly.

"what happened?"

"Zhang Long died in the house. He was stabbed in the chest. He was already dead when I arrived."

Pei Yan just felt that it was all too coincidental. Ruan had just returned and Zhang Long died.

"Second brother, what do you think of Zhang Long's death?"

Xiao Yi glanced at Ruan Yunsheng and said, "When I went to the Lu family, I heard Zhang Long mention that this matter was related to the second prince. I suspect his death..."

"Shut up, let's end this matter here. Since Ruan is back, let's just forget it."

Pei Yan didn't want to make this matter too troublesome. From what Xiao Yi said, this matter was related to the second prince, and Zhang Long's death might also be related to him. He was just a small official, and the best way was to stop here. He just wanted to send the prisoner to southern Xinjiang safely.

The boss had already spoken, and even if Xiao Yi didn't want to, he had no choice. He looked at Ruan Yunsheng helplessly. Ruan Yunsheng gave him a look of gratitude, although she didn't understand why Xiao Yi wanted to help her.

"Ms. Ruan, do you have any objection to let this matter end here?" Pei Yan seemed to be discussing with her but in fact he was informing her. If Ms. Ruan was smart enough, she would know that not caring about it at this time was the best outcome.

"I will obey Master Pei in everything."

Pei Yan was very satisfied with Ruan Yunsheng's attitude. "Let's leave Zhang Long's matter alone. Just treat it as an accident. Also, have you got my herbs back?"

He didn't care about Zhang Long's affairs, nor did he care about the Second Prince's affairs. What he cared about was his leg and the remaining poison in his body.

"Oh, I got it back. Hey, where's the medicine?" He remembered that he had it in his hand, so how come it's gone?

Pei Yan's face was full of black lines, "Why don't you go find him quickly? Remember to arrange for someone to dispose of Zhang Long's body."

After Xiao Yi and Pei Yan left, Ruan Yunsheng also thought about what to do with the chops and pork offal she bought. Ruan Yunsheng turned over the quilt and was pulled by Lu Yunruo beside her.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"Um, the things I bought earlier seem to still be in that alley."

"Why don't you just take a good rest? I'm afraid that thing has already been taken away."

Although Lu Yunruo also felt sorry for those things, she couldn't let her Seventh Sister-in-law go out now that she was injured.

"There's meat, don't you want to eat it?"

"Don't want... huh? Is there meat?"

Lu Yunruo, who hadn't eaten meat for a few days, had bright eyes and swallowed hard. How could she not want to eat meat? But she wanted to choose between Qisao and meat. It was so difficult.

"Okay, let's go. I'm really fine." Didn't she know that she hurt herself? The blood was just plasma in the space, which made them look more serious.

Lu Yunruo was a little shaken. She was the one who helped Ruan Yunsheng treat her injuries, so she naturally knew how serious her injuries were. In the end, she was defeated by her flesh.

"But how are we going to get out, Sister Qi? We are criminals now."
