Soon, the three of them arrived inside the room.
In the room, Ya Molian was holding an invitation in her hand. Seeing the three of them enter, she tossed the invitation onto the table, "Who has sent people today?"
"Hall Master, it should be from the National Teacher’s residence," Zhe Jue said.
"The National Teacher’s residence?"
Before Ya Molian could respond, it was Jiang Zuo at the side who raised his eyebrows.
"Hall Master, the outside scouts have reported that a physician has recently arrived at the National Teacher’s residence and has already begun treating Suri’s poisoning today. Moreover, word has come that this physician possesses a peculiar antidote to Suri’s poison."
At these words, Ya Molian turned to look at Jiang Zuo, frowning.
"The poison I administered to Suri is indeed difficult to cure, but if the antidote is revealed... it is merely a matter of an antidote pill. However, according to the scouts, this physician used a method of steaming, and furthermore... there are rumors on the streets of Shaohua City that wails of agony were heard outside the residence of the National Teacher."
But the thing is, curing his poison shouldn’t cause any pain at all, so why would there be any wailing heard? One should know that the National Teacher’s residence is not small by any means. To have wails spread throughout Shaohua City, Suri must have suffered tremendously.
He couldn’t help but wonder, was that physician really here to save someone? Or could it be that she has a grudge against the National Teacher’s residence? Perhaps Suyang had wronged that physician in the past, and she came to seek revenge?
"What else?" Ya Molian asked.
"There’s also... this physician is quite peculiar. Just yesterday, she beat up the National Teacher Suyang in the street, and the matter caused quite an uproar," Jiang Zuo said.
"I’ve heard about this."
Zhen Wu also spoke up after hearing Jiang Zuo’s words.
"It is said that Suyang was attacked during an assassination attempt right outside his residence. In a moment of desperation, he used the physician as a human shield. Afterward, in a fit of anger, the physician lashed out at Suyang with punches and kicks."
To think of it, this was quite a spectacle on the streets of Shaohua City.
"That National Teacher, ah, Suyang has been throwing his weight around in Shaohua City for many years now. Finally, someone stood up to vent the grievances of those who had been wronged. Everyone is quite delighted about it."
Ya Molian swept Zhen Wu with a cold glance and then looked toward Jiang Zuo.
"Hall Master, no one knows what the physician looks like because she wears a mask. She’s a female doctor, accompanied by a maid and... a black panther," Jiang Zuo said.
"And about yesterday’s assassination, it was done by our own undercover agents. The plan was to take the opportunity to kill the female doctor during the attempt on Suyang. However... it ended up being an embarrassing failure."
As he spoke, his voice grew quieter, feeling that yesterday’s assassination was utterly humiliating.
Not only did they fail to harm Suyang but they couldn’t even kill a mere doctor. Instead, they ended up getting themselves injured, which was like slapping their own face.
At these words, Ya Molian’s eyes flashed sharply.
"Who made the move?" he asked.
"It was the people from Jianxin Hall; the person is still in the residence. Would the Hall Master like to see him?" Jiang Zuo asked.
Although he was curious as to why his hall master would ask who made the move—after all, whether it succeeded or failed, they failed, and that should have been the end of it.
Ya Molian uttered just one word.
Jiang Zuo exclaimed in shock, and not only him, but Zhe Jue and Zhen Wu were also greatly surprised.
Although the assassination had failed, they were still their own people. There was no need to kill someone over a minor setback, right?
