Lu Yu was still wondering who would send her a letter. The moment she saw the contents, Lu Yu's pupils contracted, and she tightly clutched the letter in her hand.
Seeing Lu Yu's unusual expression, Gu Yitong leaned forward to peek, her brows furrowing deeper. She felt Lu Yu beside her drop the letter, now crumpled beyond recognition, and was about to leave in a fury. Gu Yitong quickly moved in front of Lu Yu and held her by both shoulders.
"Don't be impulsive. This is clearly a trap. If you go alone as the letter says, you'll fall right into the trap set by the writer!"
"I can't manage that anymore. My beloved is right there!" Lu Yu was like an enraged lion at this moment, her eyes bloodshot and devoid of reason. She flung Gu Yitong's hands away and started to walk forward.
"Calm down!" Gu Yitong pushed Lu Yu with all her might. With a "bang," Lu Yu's back hit the cabinet filled with medicine, causing the entire cabinet to shake violently.
The patients outside didn't know what was happening and poked their heads in upon hearing the commotion. The patients inside were also stunned by the scene before them.
Gu Yitong took a deep breath, turned around, suppressed her emotions, and tried to calmly appease the patients in the room.
"My apologies to everyone. Something has happened at our clinic today, and we are unable to treat you. Please go to another clinic. I am truly sorry."
Some of the waiting patients were those with chronic illnesses or those in critical condition who had been treated by Lu Yu for some time and were now coming to change their dressings. Others had contracted colds and had been treated by Lu Yu before, trusting her medical skills, and had come here. In essence, they were all people familiar with Lu Yu.
"Since something has happened, we'll leave first. You two talk it out properly, don't rush."
These people nodded in understanding and dispersed.
Minor illnesses like colds could be treated at any clinic, so it wasn't essential to see Lu Yu. Those with chronic illnesses coming for dressing changes wouldn't be cured in a day or two, so missing one day wouldn't matter. Thus, they all left quickly.
"Lu Yu, the only one who can save your husband now is yourself. Your brother-in-law is waiting for you to save him. If you panic now and fall into their trap, what will you do for your brother-in-law?"
After this ordeal, Lu Yu calmed down a bit, realizing she had been too impulsive. She bent down and picked up the letter.
"Yitong, I'll go to Yunqing Mountain to find Xuan'er first. You quickly go find Zheng Yu and have her bring the soldiers to Yunqing Mountain to find me," Lu Yu forced herself to calm down, trying to arrange things in an orderly manner.
"Alright, you go first. I'll go find Zheng Yu right now, and we'll be there soon," Gu Yitong said and ran towards her home.
Zheng Yu had planned to treat everyone to a meal today but hadn't gone because there was too much work at the clinic. Zheng Yu had already arranged today's affairs yesterday. If nothing unexpected happened, Zheng Yu would be at home clinging to her younger brother right now.
Gu Yitong's guess was correct. Zheng Yu was indeed with her younger brother. Gu Yitong saw Zheng Yu hugging her when she returned home, and Yi'er was also resting peacefully in Zheng Yu's arms.
Both were startled when they saw Gu Yitong return. Gu Yitong didn't have time to deal with such matters now. She speechlessly pulled Zheng Yu out. Before leaving, she feared Gu Yi would worry and left a message, "I have something to do with Zheng Yu. You stay home by yourself and don't go anywhere."
As she reached the door, she worried that Gu Yi might follow them secretly if she thought Gu Yitong might do something to Zheng Yu. So, she added, "I have important business with Zheng Yu. If you run around, you'll never see her again."
Zheng Yu, being pulled by Gu Yitong, didn't forget to wave back at Gu Yi, "Yi'er, we have something to do, we'll be back soon!"
The last part of her sentence was carried away by the wind as Gu Yitong quickly pulled her away.
"Let's go!" Gu Yitong glared at her and dragged her out.
"Someone has abducted Young Master Shen to set a trap for Lu Yu. Lu Yu has already gone to Yunqing Mountain to find Young Master Shen. Quickly lead the soldiers to search the mountain," Gu Yitong conveyed the meaning of her words to Zheng Yu as concisely as possible.
"Wuji!" Zheng Yu shouted, and soon, Wuji appeared beside them.
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Go gather the soldiers and have them wait for me at the next intersection."
Wuji and the soldiers moved swiftly. They quickly assembled and headed towards Yunqing Mountain together.
Lu Yu, you must hold on. We are coming for you.
Lu Yu did not go to Yunqing Mountain empty-handed, after all, she wasn't foolish. No fool would be this honest.
After Gu Yitong left the clinic, Lu Yu took out several medicinal powders she had prepared earlier. These were originally made by Lu Yu for Shen Xuan to defend himself, and there was also a packet of poison similar to a muscle-relaxing powder.
This packet of poison could not only dissipate a person's strength, making them unable to get up for an hour but also cause them to be unable to fight for a period due to poisoning. As long as the antidote was not administered, they wouldn't even be able to walk for at least three days.
What Lu Yu hated most now was her lack of martial arts skills. Lu Yu's original body only knew some basic martial arts. Lu Yu could only rely on the instincts of this body for self-preservation.
Where is this? Where am I?
Shen Xuan lay on the ground and opened his eyes hazily. He tried to move his body but found that his hands were tied and he had no strength.
"Why isn't this person awake yet?"
"Who cares? As long as we can lure the person they want here."
"I'm not saying this, but I originally thought he would look like an immortal. I didn't expect him to be not very good-looking. Even if he's not petite and lovely, he shouldn't be so tall, almost the height of a woman. Do you think this will work? Will she come?"
"Whether it works or not, we just have to do as instructed. Why worry so much!" The woman took a sip of wine, sounding impatient.
"However, apart from his poor height and being too tall, his appearance is quite handsome. Look at the skin on his face, fair and tender, it makes you want to kiss it." Another woman approached Shen Xuan and observed him closely.
Feeling someone approaching, Shen Xuan was so scared that he closed his eyes tightly, not daring to breathe.
"Hey, let go! Let go!" The woman rubbed her reddened ear and glared at the other woman.
"We're doing this for money. If you have such thoughts again, you won't be working with me anymore."
"I was just saying." The woman was quite afraid of her. Hearing her words, she immediately wilted. Seeing her glare again, she quickly smiled apologetically, "Even if I had the desire, I wouldn't have the guts. I definitely won't think about it again. Let's just do our job and get paid."
Shen Xuan lay on the cold ground, trembling uncontrollably, feeling his hands, feet, and scalp numb, his hair standing on end. He had been kidnapped, and they wanted to use him to threaten his wife!
What should I do? How can I escape?
