Chapter 247 - 247 She Was Brought To Ping City?
247 She Was Brought To Ping City?
Because she had no obligation to treat her, even Qing Xi could not stop her from coming and going. Thus, she did not say anything and just continued her journey.
Mo Ruyue left halfway. According to her agreement with the squad leader, she first went to the village where the soldier’s family was. She took the letter from the squad leader and successfully found that family, but she received an unexpected piece of news.
“The patient has been taken away? Who took them away?”
The patient’s family said that the patient had been taken to Ping City at the request of the squad leader. They also showed her a letter written by the squad leader.
Mo Ruyue carefully distinguished the handwriting of the two letters. Although they looked like they were written by the same person, one could still see the subtle differences if one looked closely.
Mo Ruyue’s intuition told her that the person who forged the letter was after her. Otherwise, a patient like this was just an ordinary citizen, so why would he be worth forging his handwriting to take away?
“My Lady, why did Captain Li write two letters one after the other and have different people bring them over?”
The patient’s family seemed to have realized that something was wrong and looked at Mo Ruyue in confusion.
“Oh, I’m not sure about that. It’s just that he told me to come over with this letter to take a look. Since he has already found another doctor, then I will not disturb him.”
Mo Ruyue knew that she wouldn’t be able to find any more clues here, so she immediately prepared to go back and find that squad leader Li and tell him about this matter.
No matter what the purpose of the person who took the patient away was, since he had already made a move, she couldn’t just wait for death.
As for the forged letter, Mo Ruyue also knew that she couldn’t take it away. The patient’s family was already looking at her with suspicion. After all, it would indeed make people suspicious if a stranger came to the door with Captain Li’s letter.
So Mo Ruyue left immediately. This time, she didn’t immediately return to the group that was escorting Qing Xi, but stayed far behind.
She was keenly aware that once she got close, she would have a feeling that she would be watched.
Out of absolute trust in her intuition, Mo Ruyue chose to hide in the dark and wait and see.
Although Mo Ruyue had only fallen far behind the group, she had already figured out why she would be targeted when she got close to the group. It was because there was a very special pair of people guarding her in the dark.
However, even though they had undergone special training, they were still a few levels lower than Mo Ruyue, who was an elite among elites.
Those people should have been brought by the man surnamed Ye. He had the same aura as them, but it was darker and gloomier, which was the smell of the same kind that she hated the most now.
Therefore, Mo Ruyue was even more unwilling to return to that group. However, she discovered that Qing Xi did not return to Duanmu residence immediately after returning to Ping City. Instead, she returned to the courtyard where they first met. It seemed that she intended to return after she had fully recovered.
The group of soldiers in charge of escorting them were also about to return to the military camp. If they wanted to contact Captain Li, they could only find an opportunity while they were away from Ping City after they returned to Ping City and reported to Duanmu Xize.
However, when Qing Xi returned to Ping City, Duanmu Xize did not appear immediately. It was for this reason that the group of soldiers set up camp nearby and were not in a hurry to return to the barracks.
The man surnamed Ye seemed to have come to pick up Qing Xi. He disappeared after bringing her back to Ping City. At the same time, his subordinates disappeared as well. It was as if they had never appeared.
Mo Ruyue carefully observed for a while. After making sure that those people had really left, she contacted Captain Li.
“What? Has she been brought to Ping City?”
Captain Li was equally shocked when he heard the news.
After he had confirmed that Mo Ruyue was willing to treat the patient, he had informed his comrade. At the same time, in order to prove Mo Ruyue’s identity, he had written a personal letter so that it would be convenient for her to go to the patient’s house for treatment without any obstacles.
But now, someone had actually taken her away one step ahead of time. What was even more incredible was that the person had forged his handwriting and also used a handwritten letter to take him away. This was obviously a big problem.
“The patient’s family is suspicious of me right now, so I can’t show you the letter I wrote personally. Of course, you can send someone to understand the situation now and tell me what’s going on.”
When Mo Ruyue spoke, her expression and tone were indifferent. Although she was inexplicably involved in something again, she did not have the intention to blame Captain Li too much.
If she wasn’t greedy for the blood he promised to save people in exchange for the blood, she wouldn’t have been so easily taken advantage of.
However, she had no idea if the other party took the patient away to make her unable to fulfill her promise and get the blood plasma, or if they had other intentions.
After all, she hadn’t started treating the patients yet. Even if they were taken away, there was no way to frame her.
“Lady Qin, I’m really sorry. I will definitely investigate this matter clearly and give you an explanation.”
Captain Li didn’t have any clues at this time, but he still apologized to Mo Ruyue first and gave a new promise.
“No matter what, Lady Qin, the blood we promised you before will not change, you can rest assured.”
“Let’s get to the bottom of this first before we talk about anything else.”
Mo Ruyue shook her head and turned to leave.
Duanmu Xize finally appeared in the evening of the second day.
After Mo Ruyue confirmed that the man surnamed Ye had left, she had already moved into the courtyard. That was why she was able to receive the news of the magistrate’s arrival at the first moment.
She immediately gathered all the information she had prepared and rushed to Qing Xi’s room.
“Qing Xi, I’ve been busy with official business these days. The higher-ups sent me to patrol the river banks, so I couldn’t take it easy. That’s why I couldn’t pick you up and come to see you immediately when you came back. You won’t blame me, right?”
Mo Ruyue had just walked to the door when she heard Duanmu Xize’s voice coming from the room. It seemed like he had just entered the room and was just starting to apologize to Qing Xi.
“You are busy with official business, how can I blame you? Besides, you’ve spent so much effort to find me such a good doctor. I should be thanking you.”
Qing Xi’s words sounded very respectful, but there was not a trace of gratitude. Instead, it sounded more like an enigma.
Mo Ruyue stopped in her tracks. She felt that it was better for her not to get involved at this time. At least, she would appear after the father and daughter had finished “reminiscing”.
To her surprise, Madam Du walked over from behind and greeted her, “Lady Qin, why are you standing outside and not going in?”
Her voice startled the father and daughter inside. Duanmu Xize immediately said, “Has Lady Qin come? Please come in.”
Since the other party had already opened his mouth to invite her, she readily accepted.
