Chapter 64: Decryption and Action

After dinner, the four of them sat together in the restaurant of the clinic, with the table covered with various materials and notes. Everyone's face was full of solemnity, and the air was filled with tension. Mo Bei reported in detail the information he had obtained from the shopkeepers and clerks of the surrounding shops, while Mo Nan shared the news he had obtained from the "Wanhua Tower". Mo Dong pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "I always feel that this incident is directly related to the poisoning and hunting of His Highness. The key figures we are involved in include Doctor Shen Li, the hunter Lu Chenting, his daughter Lu Linger who can detoxify the strange poison, and his wife Guli who has lost her memory. Perhaps there is some connection between these people. We need to connect these clues to find the truth of the matter."

The other three were silent for a moment, and Mo Xi nodded. "Mo Dong's words make sense. The relationship between these people and the incident is worth exploring further. We need to re-examine these clues to see if they are truly connected." Mo Bei added, "We need to quickly find the connection between these characters. Perhaps we can uncover the truth behind the incident."

The next morning, Mo Bei and Mo Nan continued their investigation. Mo Bei decided to revisit the surrounding shops, particularly those with contact with Magistrate Wen. They carefully questioned the shop owners and employees to see if they had noticed anything unusual, particularly the recent movements of Magistrate Wen's family members. Mo Nan, meanwhile, spoke with familiar women in the Wanhua Tower, attempting to learn more about the Wen family's inner secrets.

Meanwhile, Gu Yichen returned to the clinic with Mo Xian, Xuan Ping, and Xuan An. Lu Ling'er was at the Shen family compound on the outskirts of the city, caring for Dabai, who was about to give birth, and couldn't leave. So, she sent Gu Yichen back to the clinic to get some herbs to care for Dabai and the soon-to-be-born wolf cubs.

As Gu Yichen entered the clinic, a group of imperial guards and officials suddenly swarmed into Jishitang, creating an unusually boisterous scene. Leading the charge was a girl of fourteen or fifteen, dressed in rich silks and satins, her hair adorned with tacky hairpins, like the daughter of a nouveau riche, fresh from a temple fair. Every step she took carried an air of dominance, every gesture brimming with arrogance and contempt.

Seeing this, Gu Yichen frowned, his heart filled with annoyance. He prepared to walk to the backyard, unwilling to even glance at the young woman. However, the young woman's sarcasm shattered the silence: "Just stand there! If you know what's good for you, come back with me. I promise you a life of luxury, better than living in poverty in this clinic." Her fingers drummed repeatedly on the armrest, as if each tap emphasized the threat in her words.

Her expression was arrogant and defiant, as if everyone in the clinic were mere pawns in her hands. She continued in a shrill voice, "The proper thing to do is to divorce your poor country girl and marry me. My father is Magistrate Wen. I have a future of wealth and fame. You might as well consider it." Her face was filled with self-righteous contempt, as if Gu Yichen and his clinic were nothing more than toys in her hands.

Gu Yichen's expression gradually darkened, his fingers crackling in the air, his heart filled with anger towards the girl. Wen Min's arrogant words almost made him explode, but he suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and tried to remain calm.

The atmosphere around Mo Xian, Mo Dong, Mo Xi, Xuan Ping, and Xuan An also grew tense. Their expressions were solemn, fearing that Gu Yichen would lose control. Gu Yichen was deeply in love with Lu Ling'er, and the only reason he hadn't been able to marry her was because Prefect Wen had arrested Lu Chenting, Lu Ling'er's father. Without Prefect Wen's intervention, Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er would have tied the knot a month ago. Now, Wen Min had come to the clinic and demanded that Gu Yichen divorce his wife and marry her, a clear challenge to Gu Yichen's bottom line.

Several people were filled with sympathy for Wen Min, as if they were watching a tourist about to enter the gates of hell. Their eyes revealed a mixture of pity and helplessness, as if to say, "Little girl, you're truly brave, daring to challenge the cold-faced killer. It's just that this killer is specifically gentle towards Lu Ling'er. It looks like this scene is going to be particularly exciting."

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked up to Gu Yichen and said politely, "Mr. Shen, Prefect Wen wants to see you."
