The whole family was brutally murdered? The ruthless heiress's eldest daughter went berserk aft

"You have a way to save the Boss?" Gu Ye asked excitedly, grabbing Murong Xuewei's arm and shaking it.

Murong Xuewei broke free from Gu Ye's grasp. "Stop! Listen to me first. My brother, Murong Qingyu, knows the divine physicians of Divine Doctor Valley. If we can find them, perhaps we can save the chief!"

Gu Ye's eyes lit up instantly. "Really? Your older brother actually knows people from the Divine Doctor Valley?"

Murong Xuewei nodded, "When my elder brother was doing business in his younger days, he traveled around and got to know many chivalrous figures in the martial arts world. He also knows one or two of the divine doctors in Divine Doctor Valley."

Gu Ye anxiously pulled Murong Xuewei to the desk. "What are we waiting for? Quick, write a letter to your elder brother and ask the people from Divine Doctor Valley to come and save him."

Murong Xuewei was stunned. Why was Gu Ye suddenly so concerned about the leader? Wasn't Gu Ye originally here to suppress bandits?

Gu Ye realized he had been too hasty and let go of Murong Xuewei's hand.

"Actually, after spending the night with the chief, I found that he's not as bad as the court portrays him to be. He was forced into becoming an outlaw, as you said. Moreover, he hasn't done anything particularly bad over the years; he's always been robbing the rich to help the poor. Wouldn't it be a pity if such a person died like this?"

When Murong Xuewei heard Gu Ye say this, she thought that Gu Ye valued talent and wanted to bring the leader under his command, which was why he wanted to save the leader.

Without hesitation, Murong Xuewei immediately found paper and pen on the table and began to write a letter.

Her writing was fluent; she first expressed her concern for her brother and family, and then explained the current situation in the letter.

At the same time, Gu Ye quickly arranged for someone to find a doctor. Soon after, several doctors rushed over and began treating the chief.

"Doctor, how is the situation?" Gu Ye asked anxiously.

The older doctor sighed, "The injuries are too severe; there's no hope of saving him."

Gu Ye's expression turned cold. "He must be saved."

The doctors wiped the sweat from their brows. They all knew that General Gu was known as the Jade-Faced Asura, and no one who offended him had a good ending.

“General…it’s not that we…don’t want to…save him, it’s just that…this man’s injuries are too severe…” a doctor said tremblingly.

After writing the letter, Murong Xuewei immediately handed it to Liuli, saying, "Quickly deliver this letter to my brother, and be sure to do so!"

Liuli quickly walked out with the letter in her hand. Murong Xuewei turned around and realized that the atmosphere in the room had suddenly become tense.

After looking at Gu Ye and then at the doctor, Da Zhi understood what was going on.

Murong Xuewei walked over and said, "Whether or not this person can be saved depends on fate. However, we will have to trouble all the doctors to do their best to save the chief's life. Even if he doesn't survive in the end, it is fate. General Gu will definitely reward you handsomely afterward."

Hearing Murong Xuewei's words, the doctors were somewhat relieved. "Madam, please rest assured, we will do our best to treat this patient."

Murong Xuewei nodded and pulled Gu Ye away, because she knew that if Gu Ye stayed there, it would only put more pressure on the doctors and make them even more hesitant to implement policies.

Murong Xuewei and Gu Ye walked out of the room and into the garden.

Gu Ye's furrowed brows hadn't relaxed since they came out, and Murong Xuewei couldn't help but reach out to smooth them away for him.

Murong Xuewei was filled with worry for the leader. She turned around, looked earnestly at Gu Ye, and comforted him, "Don't worry too much, the leader will be alright."

Gu Ye nodded slightly, but anxiety still flickered in his eyes. "I know. Before the leader fainted, he told me some things about this assassination attempt."

Murong Xuewei sighed. "So what do you plan to do?"

"I'm going back to the capital to find out the truth," Gu Ye said firmly. "Only by finding the mastermind behind this can the problem be completely solved."

“But you’re still injured, and the journey back will be very dangerous,” Murong Xuewei said with concern.

Gu Ye smiled slightly and reached out to ruffle Murong Xuewei's hair. "Danger? I started fighting on the battlefield when I was twelve. Every danger I've seen is far more dangerous than this. Don't worry, I can get through this safely."

Murong Xuewei turned her head away, "I'll go with you. It's time for me to go back to the capital anyway."

Just then, Liuli rushed back, holding a letter in her hand. "Madam, the eldest young master's reply has arrived!"

Murong Xuewei hurriedly took the letter and quickly opened it.

After glancing around, Da Zhi broke into a bright smile. "The divine physician from Divine Healer Valley will arrive in three days to treat our leader!"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Gu Ye's eyes. "Really?"

Murong Xuewei nodded. "Now we just need to wait outside for the divine physician to arrive."

“Alright, I’ll leave some guards here to ensure the Boss’s safety,” Gu Ye said, his eyes filled with determination. “As for us, it’s time to deal with those people in the capital.”

“Okay, let’s get ready to leave right away,” Murong Xuewei said.

Gu Ye looked at her, a warm feeling welling up inside him. "Xue Wei, do you regret choosing me back then?"

Murong Xuewei was taken aback for a moment, then flashed a bright smile. "We're the best allies, who else should I choose?" Murong Xuewei smiled slightly, "Besides, we're allies, supporting each other is only natural."

Gu Ye felt a void in his heart. "Just allies?"

Liuli began arranging for carriages and horses. The return trip was not as rushed as the arrival one had been, as carriages were not an option, and they had to ride horses at full speed to get there.

Gu Ye also ordered his guards to ensure the safety of the chief, "You must be vigilant and pay attention to any movements around you at all times."

"Yes!" the guards replied in unison, their expressions serious.

With everything ready, Gu Ye and Murong Xuewei mounted their horses and set off towards the capital.

Throughout the journey, Murong Xuewei felt somewhat uneasy. "Gu Ye, do you really think this matter has anything to do with Prime Minister Wen?"

Gu Ye frowned slightly. "I can't be sure, but judging from the leader's behavior, he seems to know something. Prime Minister Wen wields immense power in the court; if he's involved, things will become complicated."

Murong Xuewei nodded seriously, "I understand, we need to proceed with caution."

After he finished speaking, everything suddenly fell silent. Gu Ye stared at Murong Xuewei, who felt embarrassed by his gaze. She turned her face away and pretended to drink her tea, ignoring Gu Ye.

Just then, the road ahead suddenly forked. Gu Ye stopped his horse, carefully observed his surroundings, and decided to head in the direction with more people.

"Why go this way? I think it's easier to walk over there since there are fewer people."

"Sparse population means tall vegetation, making these places ideal for ambushes."

Murong Xuewei was surprised, "Is there such a saying?"

The two got back into the carriage and rode towards the road on the left.

As they ventured deeper, the atmosphere around them gradually became tense, and Murong Xuewei sensed a sense of unease, becoming secretly vigilant.

"Gu Ye, do you think there might be any danger ahead?" she couldn't help but ask.

Gu Ye smiled slightly, "There is definitely some danger, after all, some people don't want us to return to the capital."

As the two continued on their way, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from afar. Gu Ye and Murong Xuewei exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of unease.

"Be careful!" Gu Ye whispered a warning, quickly grabbing Murong Xuewei's hand to prepare for any unexpected situation.
