Zhilan nodded. âWhat do you want to engrave, Miss?â
Su Yingxue handed her a pair of tokens and asked her to carve an identical one.
Zhilan chuckled. Su Yingxueâs thinking was indeed clever.
Now, they were just missing an opportunity to go out and avoid being taken advantage of.
âMiss, somethingâs not right!â
Lai San rushed to Marquisâs Manor, looking like he was being chased by a hungry wolf.
âWhat happened?â Su Yingxue asked, seeing his disheveled state.
If it were nothing urgent, he wouldnât have appeared in Marquisâs Manor like this.
âMiss, a group of people came today, claiming the clinic was harboring fugitives. They took away a patient, Manager Qi, and all the doctors. Manager Qi told me to escape the chaos and inform you. I had no choice but to crawl through Marquisâs Manorâs dog hole!â
Lai San was very anxious.
âHarboring fugitivesâ¦â Su Yingxue furrowed her brows slightly. âWho came to apprehend them? Where did they go?â
âI donât know, but Iâve been begging for years. 1 recognize their clothes, they seemed to be officials from the Ministry of Justice.â Lai San gestured.
Su Yingxue pondered for a moment. The Minister of Justice currently had no connection with their family and was an honorable official. Why would they directly arrest the clinicâs people?
âMiss, could the clinic be harboring a fugitive?â Zhilan was somewhat frightened.
âItâs unlikely! Manager Qi only treated a patient with severe injuries. Dr. Qin had just administered medicine, he hadnât even written a prescription when the people from the Ministry of Justice stormed in to make arrests. I feel thereâs something suspicious about this.â Lai San scratched his head. Despite being a former beggar, he was knowledgeable. Such matters were usually traps.
However, who set the trap, and how exceeded his understanding?
Su Yingxue didnât know if the clinic harbored fugitives, but she recalled something. Apart from the Minister of Justice, Chu Chengye was also in charge of the Ministry of Justice!
He had threatened her just the day before yesterday.
Su Yingxueâs lips curved into a sharp arc. She had Zhilan find some sturdy wooden planks, then headed straight to the Ministry of Justice.
As Su Yingxue left the door, she spotted a shadow sneaking into the accountantâs room, a hint of mockery in her eyes.
In the Ministry of Justiceâs prison, Su Yingxue revealed the cold jade on her neck and easily located the cell where Manager Qi and the others were held.
Upon seeing Su Yingxue, Manager Qi and the others brightened up. âMiss!â
Su Yingxue gestured with her hand. âDonât panic. Tell me everything in detail. Iâll figure out a way to save you!â
âAlright!â Manager Qiâs relieved heart settled. Su Yingxueâs composed demeanor was extremely reassuring.
He briefed Su Yingxue. She realized that the seriously ill person Manager Qi took in, was a fugitive, and was likely intentionally placed at the clinic.
âWe donât know where the fugitive is being held. Miss, heâs close to death. If he dies, everyone in our clinic will have a hard time explaining.â Manager Qiâs expression held worry.
Su Yingxue nodded. âIâll go save him. You all stay here.â
She turned and questioned the jailer. âWhere is the fugitive you captured?â
The jailer hesitated. âHeâs locked in⦠where he should be imprisoned.â
âWhere?â Su Yingxueâs voice carried a commanding tone, holding the cold jade in her hand.
The jailer nervously led her to the cell. When they walked, his legs trembled.. Half of it was fear of her, and the other half was fear of the token in her hand!
