Scientific Travel

Zhao Shanglan knew he was faking it, but didn't expose him. She withdrew her hand from his chin, took a sip of tea, and said, "Why should I help you save the person you like? Wouldn't it be more beneficial for me if she died?"

“If she dies, I will die with her.” Li Pingle’s voice was not loud, but it was firm and resolute.

“But if you help me save her…” Li Pingle knelt forward and placed her head on Zhao Shanglan’s lap. “From now on, I will be yours.”

Zhao Shanglan put down her teacup and stroked Li Pingle's head as if petting a puppy. "Tell me, who did she offend?"

......

At this point, the information on the three sides was unified.

Actually, Deng Yin should have been the fastest, since she has a system, but unfortunately, this system knows nothing.

Time was tight, so Doctor Wang only managed to find two people. Both of them held higher official positions than Zou Guangyu and were not afraid of the power behind her.

When Mu Jiayu and Zhang Yuge arrived, Zou Guangyu was applying medicine to Wang Moyu.

"I wonder what kind of wind blew you two here." Zou Guangyu arrived after applying the medicine to Wang Moyu, and the tea in front of them had already gone cold.

Zhang Yuge snorted and said in an unfriendly tone, "You really are busy. The tea was already cold before you came. I just don't know if you're really busy or if you look down on us."

"What are you saying? Your arrival was so unexpected that I was caught off guard and that's why I'm late. Xiao Yuan, hurry up and serve them some fresh tea."

"No need," said Mu Jiayu, who hadn't spoken until now. "We've come here today to discuss something; tea and such are not important."

"Oh? What could possibly require your personal presence?"

Over the years, Zou Guangyu has lived a secluded life in a remote corner of the country, without much contact with people in the imperial court, but he still knows a lot about many things.

Zhang Yuge and Mu Jiayu have both been in poor health for the past two years. It is said that Zhang Yuge almost lost his life last year. The purpose of these two suddenly coming here... can't possibly be to reminisce about the past.

Most likely, they came for Doctor Wang.

It seems that knowing him and the miracle doctor was a pretense; the real purpose was to find someone to save him...

"I haven't been feeling well these past few days. I was thinking of asking Doctor Wang to come and take a look, but I heard that you invited Doctor Wang to your residence, so I came to your residence to invite him in person."

Just as expected... Wang Moyu is only alive now because Doctor Wang is keeping her alive. Regardless of whether the doctor Doctor Wang mentioned really exists, Zou Guangyu will not let him go.

If he leaves, Wang Moyu will truly have no way out.

"No."

"No way?!" Zhang Yuge slammed his hand on the table, overturning the teacup to the ground. The sound of the teacup shattering on the floor was like background music, proclaiming Zhang Yuge's anger.

Mu Jiayu did not expect Deng Yin to refuse, but she still maintained a friendly demeanor on the surface.

"Why?"

"We're seeing a doctor because we have a patient."

Zhang Yuge pointed at Mujia Yu and said to Zou Guangyu, "Do you know who she is? Can the patient in your household have a more important background than her?"

"Of course not, but regardless of status or wealth, if you get sick, you should see a doctor. Are you trying to use your power to oppress people today?"

Mu Jiayu had heard of Zou Guangyu long ago and thought she was a smart person, but she turned out to be a fool.

"What if I insist on taking him away today?"

"Then you're not leaving today."

Before Mu Jiayu and Zhang Yuge arrived, they did not expect Zou Guangyu to be so tough. He only brought a few guards, but their strength was definitely much stronger than the yamen runners here.

"That depends on whether you can keep me here."

The guards brought by Mu Jiayu and the guards of Zou Guangyu's family were fighting fiercely. Zhang Yuge was so excited that he joined in the fight.

However, he didn't hit the guards, but Zou Guangyu.

After an incense stick had burned, the guards of Mujia Yu collapsed to the ground, including Zhang Yuge.

Zou Guangyu stepped on Zhang Yuge and provocatively said to Mu Jiayu, "So, did you manage to keep him?"

Fortunately, Zou Guangyu's dungeon was large enough to accommodate all these people without any problem.

Mu Jiayu did not resist at all, so she was the only one among those who were imprisoned who was unharmed.

Doctor Wang was unaware that the outside help he had found had been imprisoned. Seeing that Wang Moyu was not in good condition, he comforted her, saying, "Hang in there, I have already called for help. I will take you away with me when the time comes."

Wang Moyu took the antipyretic medicine given by Doctor Wang, and her fever subsided, but the pain all over her body did not ease in the slightest.

Perhaps it is because a person is about to die that memories of the first half of their life suddenly come flooding back like a tide. Zou Guangyu's face began to gradually merge with the face of someone in his memory.

"So it was you..."

Wang Moyu's voice was so soft that Doctor Wang couldn't hear anything clearly.

"What did you say...?"

Before I could even ask the question, I saw Zou Guangyu dragging a little girl in.

The little girl was Wang Xi. She was captured by Zou Guangyu the day after Li Pingle went to get reinforcements.

When Wang Xi saw the person on the bed clearly, she struggled to break free from Zou Guangyu's hand and knelt down in front of the bed.

"Mom! What's wrong with you?"

Wang Moyu recognized the voice as Wang Xi's. She tried to sit up, but her body felt like it was falling apart. She could barely lift her hand, let alone sit up.

Zou Guangyu couldn't stand their mother-son relationship, so he pulled Wang Xi away, sat on the edge of the bed, looked down at Wang Moyu, and said, "I told you, if you dare to die, neither of them will live."

"Don't do that, Xiaoyu."

Wang Xi's cries and Doctor Wang's attempts to dissuade her couldn't drown out Wang Moyu's cry of "Xiaoyu." Zou Guangyu seemed to have lost her strength, letting Wang Xi break free from her grasp.

"What did you call me...?"

Wang Moyu gave Doctor Wang a look, and Doctor Wang understood immediately, pulling Wang Xi away from the bedside.

"I wronged you about what happened back then. If you have any hatred in your heart, come at me alone and don't involve the innocent."

"Innocent?" Zou Guangyu's anger was easily ignited by those two words. "Who isn't innocent? Isn't my brother innocent? Aren't I innocent? You made my brother, such a young child, lose his father at such a young age, isn't he innocent?!"

When he said the last sentence, Zou Guangyu even shouted it out, and his eyes were covered with a thin mist due to his emotional excitement.

"Do you know? That child is less than a year old. Because my brother died, and he followed him not long after, how dare you tell me that others are innocent? What gives you the right to say such things?"

It felt like a thousand tiny insects were crawling in Wang Moyu's ears, buzzing and making it impossible to hear anything. All she could see was Zou Guangyu's mouth opening and closing.

"Say something!" Zou Guangyu couldn't stand his hysterical outburst, but Wang Moyu remained silent, as if she had accepted any crime.
