Fleeing from famine? Not a chance; the divine healer's wife made her fortune.

A new enemy is quietly approaching; we are secretly investigating its clues.

Su Yunlan's heart sank.

The phrase "long time no see" sent a chill down her spine, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She tried to search her memory, but had no recollection of the voice or the eyes.

The man in black quickly disappeared into the crowd, as if he had never been there.

Su Yunlan gripped Xiao Yuhan's hand tightly, her palms slightly sweaty.

An ominous premonition enveloped her; she was certain that these people were connected to the previous framing incident.

She must inform Lieutenant Sun of this matter as soon as possible to strengthen precautions.

Su Yunlan took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and strode towards Captain Sun's tent.

As the sun set, the shadows of the tents stretched long, like ferocious beasts lurking in the darkness.

The faint roar of Captain Sun could be heard from inside the tent, mixed with the crisp sound of shattering porcelain.

Su Yunlan's heart started beating even faster.

"Lord Sun," Su Yunlan said softly, lifting the tent flap.

Lieutenant Sun sat angrily behind his desk, which was littered with broken porcelain shards, and the air was thick with the smell of alcohol.

Upon seeing Su Yunlan, the anger in his eyes intensified.

"What are you doing here?" he roared, his voice filled with disgust.

"Sir, I have discovered some suspicious people in the camp..." Su Yunlan tried to state his position calmly, but before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Captain Sun.

"Enough!" He slammed his hand on the table, shards of porcelain flying everywhere. "Who do you think you are? Trying to boss me around? I haven't even settled accounts with you for what happened before!"

Su Yunlan's heart sank; Captain Sun's prejudice against her ran too deep.

She took a deep breath, struggling to suppress her anger, and spoke again, "Sir, this matter is of utmost importance, those people..." "Get out!" Captain Sun roared, pointing outside the tent, "I don't want to see you again!"

Su Yunlan bit her lip, gave Captain Sun a deep look, and finally silently left the tent.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, but it could not dispel the chill in her heart.

Sun Xiaowei's stubbornness and prejudice made her feel deeply powerless.

Back in her tent, Su Yunlan found Xiao Yuhan sitting by the fire, his brows furrowed and his gaze deep.

He looked up at her and asked, "What's wrong?" Su Yunlan shook her head and told him about Captain Sun's attitude.

Xiao Yuhan remained silent for a moment, then got up and walked out of the tent.

Su Yunlan tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Where are you going?" Xiao Yuhan patted her hand and said, "I'll go see."

Xiao Yuhan held Su Yunlan's hand, the warmth of his palm soothing her cold fingertips.

"Don't rush." ​​His deep voice carried a hint of reassurance. "Let's observe secretly first." Su Yunlan looked up in surprise. Xiao Yuhan was usually straightforward, but today he was so calm.

But a glimmer of hope also ignited in her heart; perhaps by trying a different approach, she could find a breakthrough.

As night fell, campfires lit up the campsite, casting flickering light on the weary faces.

Xiao Yuhan and Su Yunlan approached the group of strangers as if nothing was amiss.

They sat in a circle, talking in hushed tones, glancing around warily every now and then.

In the firelight, Su Yunlan noticed a peculiar dark pattern embroidered on their sleeves, resembling some kind of totem.

"I'll give it a try." Su Yunlan whispered in Xiao Yuhan's ear, then picked up the medicine box she was carrying and walked towards the group of people.

"Brothers, you don't look too well. Would you like to have yourselves checked out?" Su Yunlan asked gently, with the concern typical of a doctor.

The strangers exchanged glances, and one of them asked warily, "Who are you?"

"I am a doctor and have some medical knowledge." Su Yunlan smiled slightly, revealing a reassuring expression.

“The journey of exile is arduous, and everyone’s health is failing. It’s nothing, don’t mention it.” As she spoke, she walked to the person closest to them and reached out to feel his pulse.

The sensation at her fingertips told her that this person's pulse was strong and he didn't seem sick at all.

Su Yunlan withdrew her hand without showing any emotion and then took the pulses of the others.

At the same time, she observed their words and actions discreetly, paying attention to the subtle clues they inadvertently revealed.

She noticed that these people did not speak with a local accent; their accents had a slight northern influence.

Moreover, although their personal belongings were simple, they were all well-made and far beyond what ordinary exiled prisoners could possess.

"The brothers are all fine, just a little tired. They just need to rest." Su Yunlan put away the medicine box, but her heart was in turmoil.

These people are definitely not simple individuals.

She casually mentioned some local customs and traditions of the North, and sure enough, these people revealed some flaws.

Their eyes darted around, and their words carried a hint of panic.

Su Yunlan was secretly delighted. It seemed her guess was correct; these people were indeed suspicious!

Back in his tent, Su Yunlan told Xiao Yuhan about the details he had observed.

“The northern accent, the distinctive totems, and their familiarity with the customs and traditions of the north…” Su Yunlan’s voice trembled slightly with excitement, “These clues all point to the same place…”

Xiao Yuhan looked at Su Yunlan tenderly, "What came to mind?"

Xiao Yuhan looked at Su Yunlan, whose eyes shone like the brightest star in the night sky, radiating wisdom and determination.

His eyes were gentle as water, full of trust and love, as if they could dispel all the coldness in the world.

Ripples spread across Su Yunlan's heart, a warm current flowed through her body, and she felt incredibly at ease.

Inside the tent, the crackling of the campfire mingled with their soft breathing, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

However, this tranquility was soon broken.

As Su Yunlan and Xiao Yuhan tried to get closer to the group of strangers, they keenly sensed that something was wrong.

An indescribable sense of oppression permeated the air, like the calm before a storm, making one's heart pound.

Those people were no longer as relaxed as before; their eyes became sharp and wary, like wild beasts lurking in the shadows, ready to attack at any moment.

Su Yunlan felt a chill run down her spine, as an invisible pressure enveloped her.

She could clearly feel that those people's gazes were like a sticky spider web, tightly wrapped around them, leaving her nowhere to hide.

The temperature seemed to drop sharply, and the night wind became biting, causing the campfire to flicker and crackle.

"They've found us," Su Yunlan said nervously to Xiao Yuhan in a low voice.

She could sense that those people were intentionally or unintentionally approaching them, seemingly trying to test their limits.

Xiao Yuhan narrowed his eyes slightly. He could feel the threat from the enemy, a lurking sense of danger like a taut string that could snap at any moment.

Su Yunlan felt her heart beating faster and faster, as if it were about to jump out of her chest.

She looked around. Most of the people in the exile group had already fallen asleep, and only a few were still talking quietly. The sound of the fire burning and the occasional chirping of insects in the distance sounded particularly jarring in the quiet night.

A tense and oppressive atmosphere filled the air, as if a storm was about to break.

Xiao Yuhan gripped Su Yunlan's hand tightly. He took a deep breath, his eyes becoming incredibly calm. He nodded slightly to Su Yunlan and suddenly whispered, "Tonight, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful..."

Su Yunlan and Xiao Yuhan clung tightly to each other, carefully traversing every corner of the camp.

The night was as dark as ink, and the light of the campfire was weak and flickering, as if it could be swallowed up by the night wind at any moment.

Most of the people in the exile group were already fast asleep, with only the occasional cough and murmurs breaking the silence of the night.

A tense atmosphere hung in the air, as if some unknown danger was quietly approaching.

The two hid near an abandoned tent. It was quiet all around, with only the faint crackling of a campfire not far away.

Su Yunlan's heart pounded like a drum. Her gaze swept around her, taking note of every possible detail.

Xiao Yuhan's palm was warm and firm, bringing Su Yunlan endless comfort.

"What exactly is the purpose of these people?" Su Yunlan asked in a low voice, her voice trembling slightly, but her eyes revealed a firm light.

Xiao Yuhan pondered for a moment, "We can't let them succeed."

Su Yunlan nodded, her fingers gently stroking the back of Xiao Yuhan's hand, feeling the strength he was transmitting.

She said softly, "We need to find more clues to catch them red-handed."

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the night.

Grandma Cui's figure appeared in front of me in a hurry. Her face was pale and her eyes were full of worry.

She lowered her voice and said, "Miss Su, Young Master Xiao, Captain Sun wants to see you. It's important."

Su Yunlan and Xiao Yuhan exchanged a glance. Did Captain Sun discover something when he came to find them now?

Or is there something else?

"Understood, Granny Cui, we'll be right there." Su Yunlan put on her coat, stood up, and Xiao Yuhan followed closely behind. The two quickly composed themselves and headed towards Captain Sun's tent.

The night wind was biting, making their clothes flutter, but their resolve only grew stronger.

Just as they were about to step into Captain Sun's tent, a deep voice suddenly came from behind: "I hope you're prepared; tonight won't be too peaceful..."
