Lin Shu looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Why would you suddenly ask that?"

"I heard them say today that your medical skills are very good, better than anyone else in town, but..." His words were tinged with hesitation.

“But Mother, you brought Doctor Sun again today, so I’m worried that Father’s illness might be too serious, and even Mother can’t do anything about it, so…”

After hearing his words, Lin Shu smiled and gently hugged him. "Silly boy, I brought Doctor Sun here not because I can't cure him, but because I want to see why your father is still unconscious."

"Has Mother been found?" Lu Zijing lifted her head from Lin Shu's embrace, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Faced with Lu Zijin's question, Lin Shu was speechless for a moment and did not know how to answer.

"I...I'm still thinking about it."

Lu Zijing's eyes immediately dimmed; he knew this would happen.

His mother and the others are taking advantage of his young age and always trying to fool him, but he actually knows everything.

Since the new house in the Lu family courtyard has not yet been completed, Ye Xiang can only temporarily share a room with Lu Zijin.

Although Lu Zijing liked Ye Xiang, he preferred Lin Shu to Ye Xiang.

He grabbed a pillow and ran to find Lin Shu, and from then on, he settled down in Lin Shu's room.

Lin Shu cured Ye Xiang's illness and, seeing that he had regained his senses, immediately asked him about the truth of being manipulated.

After hearing Ji Shi and Lu Zijin's descriptions, Ye Xiang believed Lin Shu quite a bit.

A person who doesn't abandon you in your most difficult time, but instead shares your joys and sorrows.

How could such a good person not be worthy of trust?

He told Lin Shu in detail about how he had been manipulated.

"All of this was done by a woman named Yuan Bingxuan. She seems to know everything. She not only captured our brothers one by one, but also used drugs to control us and force us to reveal the general's hiding place."

"Fortunately, none of us know the general's whereabouts..."

When Lin Shu heard the name "Yuan Bingxuan", her expression became complicated.

Yuan Bingxuan, isn't that the female lead in the original book?

The original book was a system novel, about Yuan Bingxuan who had an all-knowing system that told the female protagonist everything in advance.

With the help of the system, Yuan Bingxuan gradually eliminated her rivals and ultimately achieved her goal.

No wonder Ye Xiang was manipulated; it turns out that all of this was Yuan Bingxuan's meticulously planned scheme.

When they met at night, Lin Shu remained silent, believing that his words had greatly shocked her.

“Madam, if you ever encounter Yuan Bingxuan in the future, you must run as far away as possible and never get entangled with her. We didn’t know this before, which is why we fell into her trap.”

Lin Shu nodded upon hearing this, "Some things can't be avoided. If I'm not mistaken, they should be coming soon."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiang's expression hardened. "What do you mean?"

"Given your situation, if she hadn't intentionally let you go, do you think you could have escaped?" Lin Shu countered.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiang immediately became nervous.

Upon closer examination, Lin Shu's words made sense.

However, what worried him even more was the fear that he might implicate the general.

So he immediately stood up and said, "I'll leave now. I can't let the general be in danger."

Lin Shu shook his head. "It's too late. From the moment I saved you, they've been watching me. Even if you leave now, you can't save Lu Shiyuan."

“On the contrary, if you stay here, perhaps we still have a chance to survive,” Lin Shu said, frowning.

Ye Xiang stopped and looked at her with a puzzled expression. "What does Madam mean?"

"If we can't stop them, we might as well kill them all," Lin Shuyou's deep eyes flashed with intense killing intent.

Her temperament also underwent a dramatic change, transforming from gentle and virtuous to fierce and sharp in an instant.

Ye Xiang was stunned. He never expected that this seemingly weak woman could utter such bold words.

He was both surprised and in awe.

Indeed, only a woman like her could be worthy of their general.

Coming to his senses, Ye Xiang took a deep breath. "Madam is right. I was too flustered and lost my composure. Please give me your instructions, Madam. I, Ye Xiang, am willing to follow your orders."

"Then let's prepare for battle," Lin Shu said, standing up.

This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.

Lin Shu stood in the Lu family's courtyard and saw countless dark figures flashing by in the night through the crack in the door.

Ye Xiang also stood up and stood behind her, fighting alongside her.

Ji, who was sleeping inside, also ran out of the house at this moment.

"Daughter-in-law, what happened?"

Lin Shu glanced sideways, her voice as gentle as ever, "It's alright, Mother-in-law, it's just a bunch of big rats. You take A-Jin and hide in your husband's room. Don't come out until you hear us."

Ji Shi immediately understood. "Alright, I understand. You just go all out. I will protect them even if it costs me my life."

After saying that, Madam Ji ran back into the house, scooped Lu Zijing up from her sleep, and carried her to Lu Shiyuan's room.

Lin Shu took out two sharp daggers from his spatial storage and handed one to Ye Xiang, saying, "This dagger can cut through iron like mud. Take it for self-defense."

If it weren't for the fact that these were all she had in her space, she would have liked to pick up a submachine gun and wipe them all out.

However, judging from the current situation in the space, those cold weapons are bound to come sooner or later, as long as she earns enough money.

Ye Xiang took the dagger, feeling the chilling aura emanating from it, and a determination to fight to the death with his enemy welled up in his heart.

He knew that today's fate was not only his own, but also the general's.

"Madam, how should we prepare for battle?" Ye Xiang asked in a low voice.

Lin Shu glanced at the situation of the men in black. "Since the enemy chose to attack at night, they must be trying to catch us off guard."

"But they don't know our surroundings or our strength, so we have to rely on surprise to win."

She pointed to several dark corners in the courtyard, "Night Chancellor, go and ambush them there. Once any enemies approach, show no mercy and finish them off quickly."

"My job is to confront the enemy head-on and draw their attention."

Ye Xiang nodded and quickly followed Lin Shu's instructions, nimbly disappearing into the darkness.

Lin Shuze stood in the center of the courtyard, closed his eyes, and quietly waited for the enemy to arrive.

A moment later, she suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils flashing with a captivating light, like two sharp swords, ready to meet the approaching storm.

In the darkness, the footsteps of the men in black grew closer until they arrived at the entrance of the Lu family's courtyard.

Before they could even get a clear look at the situation in the courtyard, Lin Shuru's ghostly figure and Ye Xiang launched a sudden attack.

Lin Shu was agile and quick, his movements swift and precise. Every swing of his dagger was a fatal blow, without a trace of pretense.

Ye Xiang was not to be outdone. While secretly admiring Lin Shu's agility, he also took advantage of the black-clad man's attention being drawn to Lin Shu to make his move.
