Chapter 332: The Gossip Is Too Detailed
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“When I got home yesterday, something happened at home, and the cause of the incident was a few days ago, the day Doctor Xu stole the forbidden medicine. So, I think that the two things may seem unrelated, but they are actually related.”
MO Ruyue briefly explained and didn’t go into detail about her family’s situation. After all, she was only guessing now and still lacked evidence to support this guess.
“Lady Qin, you mean that someone is targeting you and Imperial Doctor Tian?”
Bai Jinshang’s guess had come true, but this time MO Ruyue still shook her head.
“No, it’s not directed at me or Imperial Doctor Tian, it’s only directed at me.
Imperial Doctor Tian was only innocently implicated.”
MO Ruyue was very familiar with this kind of conspiracy. In her previous life, she often walked on the line between life and death and had experienced countless conspiracies and calculations. She was practically suffering from PTSD.
Bai Jinshang looked at MO Ruyue quietly. At this moment, he didn’t know how to continue the conversation.
“Alright, Master Bai, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Imperial Doctor
Tian’s matter. As for my matter, I’ll handle it myself.”
As MO Ruyue spoke, he prepared to give Madam Bai her routine treatment.
“Lady Qin, since this matter is targeted at you, I can’t just stand by and watch. If there’s anything you need my help with, please let me know.”
Bai Jinshang did not hesitate to express his attitude, but this time MO Ruyue still shook his head in response.
“No, Master Bai, you must have your own difficulties now that you’re living such a low-key life with your family, so I dont want to involve you in more trouble.” “Regarding Imperial Doctor Tian’s matter, once you find traces of Doctor Xu, just tell me directly. Don’t take any action on your own. Leave these matters to me. After all, the source of this matter is me.”
This time, MO Ruyue spoke in a tone that did not allow for rejection, and it also made Bai Jinshang clearly realize her seriousness and persistence.
“This… Well, since Lady Odn is so insistent, then I won’t do things that are beyond my control.”
Bai Jinshang nodded. He knew that MO Ruyue was a man of his word. Since she had told him so seriously, she definitely wouldn’t want others to do anything that she didn’t want.
After finishing the routine treatment, MO Ruyue was prepared to go to Imperial Doctor Tian’s house to check on the situation.
This old man was going to jail because he was implicated by her, so MO Ruyue felt guilty towards him.
As she was walking on the street with the big black horse, she suddenly heard people gathering in a teahouse not far away, talking about an explosive news.
“Have you guys heard? There have been explosions in the nearby cities, and the methods used are the same. I heard that the authorities are hard-pressed to catch the murderer, but there’s still no progress.”
I heard that it was the same chain of restaurants that suffered misfortune. It’s not a small one, but the people in this small town didn’t like it, so they didn’t open their shops here. Now it seems that we’re lucky.”
“That’s right. Everyone in the restaurant died overnight, and many innocent people were affected by the explosion. Although the murderer gave the corresponding compensation in the end, which family wouldn’t be troubled by such an incident during the new year?”
“What? The murderer was actually willing to pay compensation? This is strange.”
“It’s true. I heard it from a relative of mine. He lived in the city where the explosion happened. His friend was also injured in the explosion when he tried to put out the fire.”
“So he also got the compensation?”
“Yes, it appeared at his bedside overnight. It’s a total of fifty taels of silver, enough for him to recover and continue to support the family while he recuperates.”
Everyone’s comments were all heard by MO Ruyue. At first, she didn’t care much about this matter. She thought that it was just a devil who had appeared. As long as it didn’t cause trouble here and threaten her friends and family, she had no interest in paying attention to this matter.
However, just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard someone say, “Although the authorities have been searching for the murderer and have not found any clues, I heard from the grapevine that there seems to be another identity behind the restaurant.”
“I heard that it’s a mysterious organization that has a long reputation in the martial world. They do all sorts of things behind the scenes, such as killing people and robbing goods. However, because their methods are too high and ruthless, almost no one dares to provoke that organization.”
“The cause of this disaster is entirely because someone in the organization suddenly defected. That person seems to have just joined not long ago. Help me. Anyway, the person who told me this was also very mysterious. I dont know if he was telling the truth.”
MO Ruyue stopped in her tracks and stared at the person who had exposed the news.
His information seemed to be too detailed.
A man walked out of the teahouse, picking his teeth and humming a little tune. He seemed to be very relaxed.
He quickly turned into an alley, and after a few steps, he suddenly turned back to look.
There was no one behind him. He shook his head in confusion, thinking that he was being too sensitive.
Just as he turned around and was about to continue walking, a black shadow rushed toward his face, and the next second, he lost consciousness.
In a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, a fire was burning on the ground, and a man was tied to a pillar next to it.
His head was lowered as if he was still unconscious. There was a small pool of water under his feet, which was the saliva that had dripped from his mouth.
It was a blurry skeleton. The tied-up man’s head moved as if he was about to wake up from his coma.
In a flash, the man raised his head. His eyes were still in a daze. It was obvious that he had just woken up from a coma. Although his body was awake, his consciousness had not caught up.
With a “hua” sound, a basin of cold water was poured over the man’s head. He instantly became a drenched chicken and couldn’t help but cough.
The violent cough and the bone-piercing cold woke him up instantly. Although his eyes hurt from the water, he still tried to open one eye to see what had happened.
“Since you’re awake now, answer my questions properly. Who are you? What do you know about the serial explosion?”
MO Ruyue threw away the bucket in her hand and asked the man tied to the pillar.
She had been following the man since he left the teahouse, and she had also found out that he had deliberately wandered on the street before entering the alley. He knew that there would be people interested in the news he had released, and he had deliberately wanted to lure those interested in the news.
It was a pity that his scheme met with the ancestor of conspiracy, MO Ruyue. The trick he played was also what she had played before, so the outcome that awaited him was to be knocked out and taken away..
