Chapter 88: What was his true identity?

"Xu'er, how are you feeling?" Doctor Liu asked hurriedly as soon as he saw the man wake up.

"I feel fine. May I ask who you are?" The man looked at the two strangers in front of him with suspicion.

“I am your third uncle,” Doctor Liu replied briefly.

"Third Uncle, Third Uncle, you're alive! That's wonderful! You're alive..." The man stood up excitedly, hugged Doctor Liu tightly, and burst into tears.

Ruan Mumu was dumbfounded. What a ridiculous scene! A grown man and a woman reuniting should be a joyous occasion, but now he was crying like a woman.

"Dr. Liu, we shouldn't stay here any longer. Shouldn't we find a place to deal with these people quickly?" Ruan Mumu asked in a low voice.

Doctor Liu pushed the man aside, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Go and rest in the carriage first. Your third uncle will handle the rest."

Ruan Mumu hurried to the carriage and called out, "Second Brother, Jin Guang, how are you?"

Ruan Xiaohai and Jin Guang were still somewhat shaken. The carriage had stopped abruptly, and the two of them had crashed into the carriage wall. They weren't seriously injured, but they were quite frightened, especially by the sounds of fighting outside the carriage, which was a dangerous scene they had never experienced before.

“Sister…sister…I…we…are alright.” Ruan Xiaohai’s voice trembled slightly as it came from inside the carriage.

"Second Brother, Jin Guang, don't be afraid, hurry up and come out to help, otherwise we'll get into big trouble." Ruan Mumu's voice was somewhat anxious.

When Ruan Xiaohai heard his sister say that she needed help or she would get into big trouble, he hurriedly pulled Jin Guang out of the carriage.

When they saw the several blood-covered corpses lying not far away, the two turned pale with fright.

"Second Brother, Jin Guang, don't be afraid. If we don't kill them, we'll be the ones who die today. We need to hurry and bury them under the small trees over there while no one is passing by." Ruan Mumu comforted the two of them, then took out a few masks and gloves and had them put them on. She also quickly put on a mask and gloves herself.

After Dr. Liu escorted Liu Shengxu to the carriage, he turned around and saw Ruan Xiaohai and Jin Guang carrying a body onto a handcart. There were two large iron shovels next to it. The group quickly pushed the body into a grove of trees. Then Ruan Mumu returned to the roadside and cleaned up the traces of the fight.

After about half an hour, the body was finally disposed of. Ruan Xiaojun drove the carriage towards Xiyang County as if nothing had happened.

Ruan Mumu and Jin Guang sat on the left side of the carriage, while Doctor Liu and Liu Shengxu sat on the right.

"Dr. Liu, have you noticed something? Why hasn't anyone passed by this road for so long?" Ruan Mumu asked Dr. Liu in a low voice.

Dr. Liu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"Xu'er, what are you doing here?" Doctor Liu turned to look at Liu Shengxu beside him.

Liu Shengxu looked at Ruan Mumu and Jin Guang, hesitating.

"It's alright, we're all family." Doctor Liu nodded.

"I don't know who was chasing me. I was with a grain transport team heading to the military camp when we were attacked by a band of bandits in a mountain pass. They stole all the grain, and almost all the soldiers in our team were killed."

Later, another group of men in black appeared, about fifty in number. They were all highly skilled in martial arts. My guards had scattered in several directions to ensure my escape, and I had no idea what became of them.” Liu Shengxu felt extremely frustrated when he recalled this experience.

"Then do you know who did it?" Doctor Liu pressed.

"I don't know."

"What are your plans?"

"Third Uncle, I don't know where I can go now, and I don't know who did this. I can't show myself until I find out who wants to kill me. Third Uncle, where have you been for the past ten years? I haven't been able to find you. Can I stay by your side for a while?" Liu Shengxu said sadly.

Doctor Liu sighed softly, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes: "Xu'er, your third uncle left without saying goodbye back then, you don't blame him, do you? I've been doing quite well these past years, you don't need to worry." He reached out and gently patted Liu Shengxu's shoulder, offering him some comfort.

"Since you haven't decided where to go yet, just follow me! But you'll have to make do with our coarse clothes."

After Dr. Liu finished speaking, he picked up the bundle placed to the side, took out a set of simple clothes from it, handed them to Liu Shengxu, and said gently, "Here, take off your coat first."

Liu Shengxu took the clothes, hesitated for a moment, and then turned to look at the girl sitting opposite him.

His face flushed slightly, and he seemed a little embarrassed. He held the clothes in his hand but didn't move for a long time.

Doctor Liu realized there were girls here and quickly said, "Then let's change before we get off the train! We're going to Xiyang County now. In the meantime, try to contact your guard and get back as soon as possible!"

"Third Uncle, my father, he..." Liu Shengxu was about to say something when Doctor Liu interrupted him, "Xu'er..."

Ruan Mumu and Jin Guang sat there, as if they had discovered some incredible secret. Ruan Mumu tentatively lowered her voice and asked, "Doctor Liu, are you members of the royal family? This is... a prince? And you are a prince?"

Dr. Liu gave an awkward laugh.

Ruan Mumu said again, "It seems that it really is. But now that we know such a big secret, will you kill us?" Then she pretended to be scared.

Liu Shengxu quickly said from the side, "Miss, please don't misunderstand. Our identities are nothing special. Please rest assured, we will need your help in the future." After saying that, he cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Ruan Mumu.

Hearing the conversation inside the carriage, Ruan Xiaohai, who was sitting outside, was startled and accidentally pulled on the reins. The horse suddenly bolted in fright. This was the first time Ruan Xiaohai had encountered such a situation, and he became even more anxious.

Ruan Mumu and Doctor Liu, who were sitting in the carriage, exchanged a glance and rushed out of the carriage at the same time. They did not sense any danger, but only saw the white rabbit running away.

"Second brother, what happened? Are you alright?" Ruan Mumu asked anxiously.

"Oh, it's nothing. I accidentally pulled on the reins and the horse got spooked," Ruan Xiaohai said with some guilt.

"It's good that you're alright. You must be tired too. I'll drive the carriage. You can go inside and rest for a while!" After saying that, Ruan Mumu took the whip and reins from Ruan Xiaohai and sat in the driver's seat.

Just as the carriage came to a stop, a cold shout suddenly came from ahead: "Stop! Inspection..."
