The Reincarnation of the Beauty: The Concubine Doctor and the Conspiracy
Chapter 3 The undercurrent is surging
Over time, Yun Mengting and Lin You's relationship grew closer. Every day, Yun Mengting would explain the benefits of various herbs to Lin You in the clinic, and Lin You would reciprocate with his own stories, sharing his own experiences full of twists and turns. Each time they talked, it seemed to gradually weaken the shadow cast by fate on them.
However, the turmoil in the outside world lurks like an undercurrent, ready to drag them into the vortex at any time. Although Yun Mengting strives to live a peaceful life, she remains vigilant, as she knows such days will not last long.
One evening, the setting sun cast a golden glow over the clinic, and the light filtering through the window lattices brought a touch of warmth. However, Yun Mengting felt a dull ache in her heart, sensing a storm was about to hit.
"Mengting, I feel like the atmosphere in this city is getting increasingly bizarre." Lin You gazed anxiously at the distant street market, gently gripping the medicine bottle in his hand. "I've heard some rumors that Liu Tianjiao has been frequenting government offices lately, and seems to be planning something big."
Yun Mengting nodded, analyzing the situation in her mind. "Liu Tianjiao has always been known for his cunning ways. If he really makes a move, we must be prepared."
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door. Yun Mengting stood up and walked out of the clinic, where she found several officers and soldiers patrolling the area. They had stern faces and held iron tools in their hands, seemingly searching for someone.
"Who are you looking for?" Yun Mengting asked, pretending to be calm.
"We are searching for a fugitive!" the leading officer replied seriously, his eyes moving over her body as if assessing her threat.
"Who is that person?" She tried to control her emotions, wondering how she would respond if they were here to capture Lin You.
"Suspected of murdering the son of a powerful official, the crime is severe!" The officer's voice was as biting as a cold wind, making Yun Mengting shiver.
"I... I have never seen such a person." She answered while thinking to herself how she should protect Lin You.
At this moment, Lin You walked out from behind with a pale face and was instantly discovered by several officers and soldiers.
"Catch her!" The leading officer immediately pointed at Lin You, his eyes filled with ferocity.
Yun Mengting panicked and quickly pushed Lin You behind her, shouting, "She's innocent. She definitely can't be the fugitive you're looking for!"
"Innocent? You are all in the same group and will be tried together!" The officers and soldiers began to approach, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Lin You was forced forward, tears of fear flashing in his eyes. Yun Mengting felt an invisible force oppressing her, and she had to make a choice.
"If she is captured, I will definitely rescue her!" Before she finished speaking, Yun Mengting's heart trembled, and she suddenly rushed towards the soldiers, trying to protect Lin You.
This sudden action surprised everyone. Yun Mengting suppressed her inner fear, her eyes firm, determined not to let anyone hurt Lin You.
"Stop!" the officer roared and rushed towards her with a wave of his hand.
The situation spiraled out of control, with more and more soldiers pouring in. Yun Mengting's heart tightened, knowing she couldn't continue. If Li Tianjiao really attacked Lin You, she would be utterly annihilated. At this point, she had to find a way to deal with it.
"We can't wait here to die, let's go!" Yun Mengting whispered to Lin You, and without hesitation, she grabbed her hand and ran towards the back alley. Although Lin You was afraid, he quickly followed her lead.
They moved at breakneck speed through the narrow alleys, their ears filled with the sound of soldiers chasing them closer and closer. Yun Mengting took a deep breath. The road ahead was long, but the flame of resistance ignited in her heart.
"There!" Yun Mengting suddenly pointed to a half-open door in front of her. Her intuition told her that she might be able to temporarily avoid pursuit there.
They rushed in without hesitation. Behind the door was a dim warehouse filled with empty medicine boxes and miscellaneous items. Yun Mengting quickly closed the door, held her breath, and pressed her ear to the door, listening for any movement outside.
But at that moment, a commotion erupted. Several officers and soldiers had already entered the alley and began to check every corner. This moment of silence seemed to freeze time, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
"Hurry, let's hide behind this." Yun Mengting pulled Lin You and whispered. They moved as close to the corner as possible, both holding their breath, their heartbeats seemingly slowing down at this moment.
"I'm scared..." Lin You sobbed softly, his face full of fear and anxiety.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Yun Mengting was also filled with fear, but she still tried to comfort her in a calm tone, with a firm light in her eyes.
As the noise outside gradually approached, Yun Mengting felt a sense of urgency and said to Lin You, "We can't let them find you. We must find a way to keep her safe."
At this moment, the noise outside the door was getting closer and closer. Just as Yun Mengting was feeling anxious, her eyes suddenly lit up and she turned to look at the corner of the warehouse. There was a small window there, which might be their chance to escape.
"We can get out of there!" Yun Mengting whispered, courage and hope surging in her heart.
Lin You wanted to refuse, but seeing Yun Mengting's determined eyes, she finally nodded, secretly mustering up courage in her heart. At this moment, they were not only companions in life, but also warriors against fate.
"Okay, hurry up, follow me!" Yun Mengting confidently supported Lin You's back and walked towards the small window. This escape was destined to change the trajectory of their lives, and they would embark on a new journey together to fight against injustice and fate.
