Zhilan nodded. “What do you want to engrave, Miss?”
Su Yingxue handed her a pair of tokens and asked her to carve an identical one.
Zhilan chuckled. Su Yingxue’s thinking was indeed clever.
Now, they were just missing an opportunity to go out and avoid being taken advantage of.
“Miss, something’s not right!”
Lai San rushed to Marquis’s Manor, looking like he was being chased by a hungry wolf.
“What happened?” Su Yingxue asked, seeing his disheveled state.
If it were nothing urgent, he wouldn’t have appeared in Marquis’s Manor .
“Miss, 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 Marquis’s Manor’s dog hole!”
Lai San was very anxious.
“Harboring fugitives…” Su Yingxue furrowed her brows slightly. “Who came to apprehend them? Where did they go?”
“I don’t know, but I’ve been begging for years. 1 recognize their clothes, they seemed to be officials from the Ministry of Justice.” 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 clinic’s people?
“Miss, could the clinic be harboring a fugitive?” Zhilan was somewhat frightened.
“It’s unlikely! Manager Qi only treated a patient with severe injuries. Dr. Qin had just administered medicine, he hadn’t even written a prescription when the people from the Ministry of Justice stormed in to make arrests. I feel there’s something suspicious about this.” 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 didn’t 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 Yingxue’s 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 accountant’s room, a hint of mockery in her eyes.
In the Ministry of Justice’s 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. “Miss!”
Su Yingxue gestured with her hand. “Don’t panic. Tell me everything in detail. I’ll figure out a way to save you!”
“Alright!” Manager Qi’s relieved heart settled. Su Yingxue’s 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.
“We don’t know where the fugitive is being held. Miss, he’s close to death. If he dies, everyone in our clinic will have a hard time explaining.” Manager Qi’s expression held worry.
Su Yingxue nodded. “I’ll go save him. You all stay here.”
She turned and questioned the jailer. “Where is the fugitive you captured?”
The jailer hesitated. “He’s locked in… where he should be imprisoned.”
“Where?” Su Yingxue’s 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!
