Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

He grabbed Fu Zhou's arm and asked, "What kind of medicine is this? Where did it come from?"

Fu Ju pulled his arm away with a hint of disgust: "It was given to me by Miss Fang. If Lord Xiao is alright, please go back first. I need to take Yun Xiao to find Miss Fang."

Fu Ju helped Yun Xiao leave. Xiao Lan knew that he was still savoring the taste of the spiritual spring water. Not only could he not taste any medicine, but it could also detoxify.

But now is not the time to investigate these things; he needs to go back and gather people first, both to capture and to rescue them.

On the way, Fu Ju asked Yun Xiao, "What exactly happened between you two just now?"

"The carriage was traveling normally when it suddenly exploded, followed by a barrage of projectiles from all sides. Thankfully, they did their utmost to protect me, otherwise..."

Yun Xiao smiled bitterly and suddenly said, "It's alright. As long as we're alive, we'll get our revenge eventually."

……

Xiao Jingqi had just arrived at the Fang family's house when the window opened. Fang Yu's heart finally settled down. She opened the window and saw that he looked a bit disheveled.

"Are you OK?"

The two asked in unison, then smiled at each other. Fang Yu stepped aside to let him in, noticing the bloodstains on his clothes: "Are you injured?"

"It's just a minor injury, thank goodness you had Fu Ju bring the medicine. Miss Fang, she..."

Fang Yu helped him sit down, skillfully took his pulse, and then skillfully applied medicine to his shoulder.

After doing all this, she said, "Although Xin'er has been captured, she should be out of danger. This person didn't come here just to kill my mother, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to kidnap her; he could have just killed her directly."

Xiao Jingqi pondered for a while, connecting the clues he had gathered over the past few days. Seeing the medicine bottle on the table, he seemed to suddenly understand.

"Perhaps this time he's not after Madam Fang, but after you."

"Me?" Fang Yu asked, puzzled.

Xiao Jingqi continued, "The patient we picked up was killed when we investigated the epidemic among children in the city and reached Huaizhou City. But everything was normal there. All the infected children here were cured by you, so it wouldn't be difficult to find out."

"I suspect the other party came to arrest you just to threaten you into doing something else."

Fang Yu understood.

No wonder they were attacked on their way back; it was to prevent them from returning too quickly and making it difficult to capture the person.

"Miss Fang!"

Fu Ju returned with Yun Xiao, who said, "Take me with you, and I can find the Second Miss."

"Your legs." Fang Yu didn't ask how she found them; she was just worried about her legs.

"It's alright, I can do it."

Mo Jiu arrived shortly afterward with his men. Some stayed behind to watch over the still-sleeping Li Shi, while the rest set off to find Fang Xin.

Yun Xiao was about to mount her horse when Fang Yu stopped her: "Your leg hasn't fully healed yet. Xin'er will be fine for now. Let's take the carriage instead."

Yun Xiao slowly shook her head and glanced at Fu Ju. Fu Ju was already extremely anxious. He helped Yun Xiao onto the horse and assured Fang Yu, "I will take good care of Yun Xiao."

He then went up, and the brother and sister rode forward together on one horse.

Fang Yu's rare moment of surprise was particularly evident at this moment.

She could clearly sense that Fu Ju cared a lot about Xin'er. He and Yun Xiao had only met a few times, so why were they being so informal with each other?

As she was still pondering, her waist tightened, and a scene flashed before her eyes before Xiao Jingqi lifted her onto the horse.

His voice was in my ear: "We don't have enough horses, so we'll have to do it this way for now."

The horse was incredibly fast, and the night wind was cold. Xiao Jingqi tried to take off his cloak and give it to her, but Fang Yu stopped him.

Fang Yu turned slightly, pulled the cloak over herself, and leaned closer to him: "Won't this offend Lord Xiao?"

Xiao Jingqi glanced down at her profile, chuckled softly, and spurred his horse forward.

Yun Xiao was searching for Fang Xin's scent when she arrived at Huaizhou City. There were still quite a few pedestrians in the city, and many vendors were hawking their wares.

The group dismounted together, but Yun Xiao continued walking forward with a clear goal in mind until she saw the county government gate ahead. Only then did she turn around to look at Fang Yu behind her.

"Is someone inside?" Fang Yu's brows furrowed slowly.

Xiao Jingqi's expression was even more unpleasant than Fang Yu's. He had visited the county government office before but hadn't found anything suspicious.

Fang Yu said, "I'll go scout ahead first. You all stay here and don't move."

She had just taken a step out when Xiao Jingqi pulled her back: "We came here before, and everything was normal, which means they are hiding too well. You probably can't handle it alone."

Fang Yu patted the back of his hand: "Whether you've hidden it well or not will be clear with a little investigation. Your identity makes it inconvenient, so just wait patiently. I'll be there soon."

"Miss Fang, let me go with you," Yun Xiao said anxiously.

"No need." Fang Yun turned to look at her worried face, and at Fu Zhou, who was supporting her, whose face was equally worried, if not more so.

She managed to catch her breath and looked at Fu Zi, saying, "Come with me."

After Fang Yu and his companion left, Xiao Jingqi instructed the rest of the men to check the vicinity of the county government office for any unusual activity.

Fang Yu was still observing the environment inside the county government office when Fu Ju suddenly made a move, signaling her to come with him.

Fang Yu didn't ask any questions. She crouched down and followed closely behind him on the rooftop, and then stopped at the deepest part of the county government office.

A grove of bamboo, straight and verdant, was planted in the courtyard below.

“The second young lady should be in that room,” Fuju said with certainty.

Fang Yu looked down and saw two people wearing cloaks whose faces were obscured guarding the doorway of the room. They gave off a somewhat eerie feeling, just like the totem man who had kidnapped Fang Xin.

"I'll go down and check first. Miss Fang, you should hide."

"Wait!" Fang Yu called out to him, "I'll go instead."

She hadn't forgotten the taste of that stun grenade; if it weren't for her spiritual spring, her ears would have been ruined long ago.

If they dare to bomb her and kidnap Xin'er, she will make that person and everyone behind him pay a terrible price.

Fang Xin was tied to a pillar in the room, looking at a man sitting at the table. The man's skin was very pale, and he seemed to be terminally ill.

Fang Xin was not afraid at all, and even spoke loudly: "I advise you to let me go, otherwise the government will find me soon, and then you will not be able to escape!"

The totem man walked behind the man, bent down and whispered in his ear: "Sir, the plague that was released before was cured by this man's sister. As long as she is in our hands, even if his sister has extraordinary abilities, she will have to be at our beck and call."

"Pooh!"

The man spoke very softly, but Fang Xin heard him nonetheless. She shouted, "You're delusional! I'd rather bite my tongue off and kill myself than give you the chance to threaten my sister!"

As she spoke, she threatened to bite off her own tongue.

The man who had been sitting suddenly appeared in front of her, his pale, sickly fingers pinching her cheek.
