Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

Outside Lingjin City

The mountains, shrouded in lush trees and the cover of night, exude a strong sense of gloom and oppression.

And the occasional, mournful cries of a woman emanating from the darkness only amplified the eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

Suddenly, from the thick darkness came rustling sounds, accompanied by painful, suppressed gasps.

The sound grew closer and closer.

A woman, her body and face covered in blood, was running frantically and recklessly forward.

Her blood-stained eyes revealed endless fear and despair.

She kept running forward.

She would occasionally look back, as if something terrifying was chasing her.

"Ah~"

With a cry of alarm, she stumbled and tumbled down the steep slope. She quickly disappeared into the darkness below, leaving no trace.

Soon, on the steep slope where she disappeared, two figures appeared, dressed in black, with only their eyes showing.

"What do we do? We can't find him!"

"I told you to keep an eye on things, and I just went to relieve myself, and you let someone escape. If His Highness finds out, how will we explain that someone got away?"

"How was I supposed to know? Her entire face was almost completely cut off, how did she still have the strength to run out? Didn't the doctor say she definitely wouldn't survive? This woman is truly a ruthless character."

"I don't care if she's a ruthless character or how she escaped. What I want to know now is how we're going to explain this to His Highness!"

"I think that woman was just having a final burst of energy before death; she definitely won't survive. Why don't we just pretend this never happened and keep it a secret? Otherwise, think about His Highness's methods—they're more terrifying than death itself!"

"Well, that's the only way."

However, they had barely finished speaking when...

But immediately, as if a pause button had been pressed, the two of them stood frozen in place.

A moment later, the two heads suddenly slid to the ground.

The body remained standing, its neck, with its clean cut, gushing bright red blood.

"Dare to betray the princess, you deserve to die!"

A man dressed entirely in black, with only his pair of sinister eyes visible, stood behind the corpse, coldly wiping the blood-stained blade.

A dark figure followed behind him, asking in a cold voice:

"Commander, what do we do now?"

The man's eyes narrowed coldly, his voice sinister:

"I will report this to Your Highness immediately. You all must search the entire mountain and find her. This matter is of utmost importance; you must not allow her to spread the news. Remember, we must find her alive or dead!"

"Yes~"

The shadowy figure respectfully prepared to retreat.

"Wait~"

The man suddenly spoke coldly.

The shadowy figure bowed respectfully.

"Commander, is there anything else?"

The man's cold eyes were fixed on the village at the foot of the mountain, where lights were twinkling, and he asked in a cold voice:

"Where...where is that?"

The shadowy figure glanced at the village below the mountain and then said:

"Commander, that's Yanggang Village."

The man murmured coldly:

Yanggang Village~

"Is that the only village around here?"

The shadowy figure nodded:

"Yes, Commander. We chose this place to establish our experimental site because it is sparsely populated, and there is only one small village nearby."

A chilling malice flashed in the man's eyes:

"We planted informants around the village to keep a close watch. They were to report any incidents immediately."

The shadowy figure glanced coldly at the distant village and nodded.

"Understood, I'll get on it right away!"

The shadow disappeared.

The man stood in the darkness, still staring at the scattered lights. His voice was sinister and eerie, like a vengeful ghost:

"You guys better not be courting death! Otherwise, hehe~~~~"

Yu Family Dining Room

The Yu family, along with Wu Manyu, sat together in a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Yu Wantao held his wine glass, smiling contentedly. He took a sip of wine with relish, almost humming a little tune.

Looking at him like that, Fu Yuqin smiled and pretended to be disgusted, saying:

"Alright, you're with the kids here, can you stop being so smug?"

Yu Wantao smiled and said:

"What's wrong with being smug? It's my turn to be smug. Look how great things are now. Wan Tao's student status has been restored, Shu Yan has returned home, and Manyu has escaped my misery. And what's more, our Yu's Pharmacy is doing exceptionally well lately. Our family has turned our bad luck around, and the future looks bright. Tell me, shouldn't I be happy!"

Fu Yuqin smiled helplessly and said:

"Yes, yes, you should be happy, you should be happy. But don't drink too much, take it easy."

Everyone else watched them bickering with amusement.

Yu Wantao smiled and said:

"If I told you that I've now been accepted as Dean Bai's last disciple, would you want to have a couple more drinks?"

Fu Yuqin said with delight:

"Really? You've really come to your senses! Before, when Dean Bai wanted to take you on as a disciple, you weren't willing. Now it's all good; you've seen the light. Being Dean Bai's disciple is wonderful. His disciples all hold important positions in the Great Yong Dynasty court. If you become fellow disciples with them, things will go more smoothly for you when you become an official, won't they?"

Yu Wantao nodded with a smile:

"My son is so outstanding. It's a blessing for Dean Bai to have such a disciple. Don't you think so?"

Wu Manting and Wu Manyu were also smiling as they looked at them.

They were clearly in a good mood.

Only Yu Shuyan, with a complex expression, glanced at Yu Moyan, then lowered her head and remained silent.

His brother used to be such a pure and serene person.

At the time, Dean Bai wanted to take him in, but he refused.

This time, however, he agreed.

Clearly, it was because he had learned Wen Lang's true colors. He changed his mind to support his younger sister.

I was genuinely moved, but I also felt a deep sense of heartache.

Yu Moyan noticed her thoughts, but looked straight at her.

Yu Shuyan looked up and met Yu Moyan's warm gaze.

In an instant, she felt relieved:

Yeah, what's there to be so dramatic about?

Shouldn't a family share joys and sorrows, and help each other?

Besides, according to her observation, although Bai Chongshan was a bit stubborn and conservative, he was not a bad person. Moreover, he had students all over the country and supported most of the court.

With him backing them up, Changning won't be able to act as recklessly as she did in her previous life when she wants to take action against the Yu family.

Looking at Yu Shuyan, who was lost in thought, Yu Wantao's smile slowly faded, and he said:

"Shuyan, there's something I want to tell you!"
