The Reincarnation of the Beauty: The Concubine Doctor and the Conspiracy

"Are you ready to hand over the gold coins?" The tall figure sneered, a sinister glint in his eyes. A tense atmosphere suddenly filled the alley. Yun Mengting felt a surge of panic and tried to remain calm.

"We are the buyers. Any transaction should be based on mutual trust." Yun Mengting raised her head slightly, trying her best to make her voice sound firm and calm. Shen Jingxuan stood behind her, his eyes sharp as he studied the smuggler before him.

Seeing this, the exile quickly moved closer and whispered, "Don't be impatient. Observe the other party's reaction first."

The smuggler clutched a heavy stack of documents tightly, a disdainful smile plastered on his face. "Trust? In a place like this, trust isn't enough." His eyes darted around, as if hinting at the danger that might arise at any moment.

"We've always been trustworthy," Shen Jingxuan replied coldly, a hint of authority in his tone. "If you can provide us with information worthy of attention, the transaction will proceed as planned."

"Hmph, you're quite arrogant." The smuggler sneered, his gaze growing increasingly menacing. "Watch your mouths, they might bring bad luck."

At this moment, hurried footsteps were faintly heard from the other side of the alley. The exile frowned, obviously aware of the potential threat, and quickly made a gesture to Yun Mengting and Shen Jingxuan, indicating that they should be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Yun Mengting's heartbeat quickened, and she silently prayed that everything would go as she wished. She knew that now was not the time to be afraid; she must use her medical knowledge and keen wisdom to serve her goal.

The smuggler seemed to sense the change in atmosphere and suddenly fixed his gaze on Yun Mengting. "Who are you?"

Facing that sharp gaze, Yun Mengting was startled, but quickly calmed down and replied, "I'm a female doctor, and I'm here to look for information about Liu Tianjiao."

"Female doctor? It's not appropriate for this occasion." The smuggler's smile changed from contempt to mockery, and it was obvious that he didn't care about her identity.

At this time, Shen Jingxuan stood up, his eyes firm: "Whether you believe it or not, our existence is real. But I suggest you don't underestimate her ability. Her medical skills are unmatched in the entire world."

"Oh? So you want me to believe that your presence can bring greater benefits to this transaction? I dare not guarantee your safety." There was a hint of provocation and insult in the smuggler's words.

Yun Mengting suddenly had an idea and quickly asked, "If you can provide information about Liu Tianjiao, we can bring you a more generous reward."

The smuggler smiled sinisterly, the coldness growing more pronounced. "A little wealth is far less valuable than a little power. I've heard that Liu Tianjiao has close ties with some prominent figures. If you could provide me with their secrets, I'd consider collaborating with you."

Yun Mengting instantly felt immense pressure, as if the entire situation was no longer under her control. But she knew she couldn't show weakness. She silently exchanged a glance with Shen Jingxuan, seeking his support.

"If the information is indeed reliable at the right time, we will find a way to give you a satisfactory explanation." Shen Jingxuan's tone was firm, giving Ya Suting unlimited encouragement.

"Okay, it's settled." The smuggler sneered. The outcome of the negotiation was beginning to take shape, but the tense atmosphere still lingered.

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from the other side of the alley. It was obvious that someone was rushing towards them. Yun Mengting panicked and quickly signaled to Shen Jingxuan and the exiles to retreat immediately.

"Let's go!" The exile whispered and quickly took Yun Mengting and Shen Jingxuan to the other side of the alley.

The smuggler realized something was wrong and quickly chased after them: "Don't even think about escaping!"

The three of them rushed forward quickly. Yun Mengting was nervous, and various possible situations flashed through her mind. However, the situation at this time was more complicated than she had imagined.

Just as she escaped the alley, Yun Mengting turned around and saw the smuggler staring coldly at her from the shadows, a subtle threat that made her feel increasingly uneasy. Shen Jingxuan stood beside her, his expression grim, and whispered, "We must find a safe place and reconsider our plans as soon as possible."

Yun Mengting nodded in agreement, a whirlwind of emotions welling up within her. She knew she not only had to face Liu Tianjiao's schemes, but also had to find her own place in the martial arts world.

After entering a safe place, Yun Mengting reaffirmed her resolve. No matter the turbulent times ahead, she would not retreat. This game of power and emotion had only just begun.
