Chapter 589 Track down Clues

“Sister Wu, I know you are in a bad mood. But if we stop investigating this matter, I’m afraid you and your baby will be hurt again. So I hope that you can calm down and recall what happened before.”

Lin Mengya said in a gentle tone, which was nothing less than a timely comfort for Madam Wu, who had been frightened terribly.

Under Lin Mengya’s warm gaze, she finally worked up the courage to recall what had happened before.

“I… I don’t remember. When I woke up this morning, I only felt a pain in my head and then lost my consciousness. Your Highness, I don’t know who I offended. Please uphold justice for me, Your Highness!”

Madam Wu pleaded Lin Mengya with her eyes filled with regretful tears.

She must have been told that she had attempted to hurt her baby.

As a mother, she was probably in great distress.

Lin Mengya sighed. No matter how hard she tried to get some information from Madam Wu, Madam Wu kept saying those words.

When she tried to ask about more details, Madam Wu burst into tears and looked very pitiful.

She could not bear to force Madam Wu to answer her, so she could only comfort Madam Wu. After all, Madam Wu was the biggest victim in this conspiracy.

Outside the tent, as the light faded away, everything immediately fell into darkness.

Lin Mengya looked at the bright moon, which was gradually rising in the sky, and felt a little uneasy.

The isolated campsite was not big with Long Tianyu’s personal guards patrolling outside all day.

Outsiders were unable to enter this place, not to mention hurt Madam Wu under her nose.

Therefore, the one, who did it, must be in the camp.

However, as her teacher said, only she and her teacher were known for being capable of this kind of acupuncture.

Even if the possibility that she did it could be excluded, the suspect could only be her teacher, right?

However, her teacher was so arrogant that he would never do such a dirty trick.

Nevertheless, although she trusted her teacher, it did not mean that the others thought the same way.

This was the reason why she would rather suppress this matter and investigate it in secret.

Now it was not the time to make it known to the others.

“The baby is so pitiful. Such a little baby was almost smashed to death. I went to see Sister Wu’s baby. The baby is as cute as a little doll.”

Xiu, who was standing by Lin Mengya’s side, said in a low and regretful voice.

Knowing that Xiu liked babies, Lin Mengya returned to herself and asked about the baby’s condition.

“Who is taking care of the baby now?”

“Sister Zhu and Sister Xiao are taking care of the baby. The baby is particularly obedient and spends the whole day either drinking milk or sleeping. No matter how noisy the other babies are, this baby keeps sleeping. Even Sister Zhu says that the baby is so sweet.”

Such was babies’ nature. Drinking milk and sleeping seemed to be the only thing they cared about around the world.

Lin Mengya involuntarily wanted to have a look at this obedient baby. So the two of them went to the tent, where Sister Zhu was, together.

The high-quality candles only exhaled a faint fragrance without smoke that could make it hard for the babies to breathe.

Although Lin Mengya was a person of few words, she was thoughtful.

She had never allowed anything with a negative influence on the growth of the babies to be placed in front of them.

In the soft candlelight, the babies, who had just drunk milk, all opened their big black eyes wide. Some of them were laughing happily, while some were crying hard.

The babies’ acting innocently and their childish voices diluted the gloom the adults felt during the daytime.

The mothers gradually opened up their hearts, sat on their beds, and took care of their babies.

Lin Mengya checked on them one by one. Fortunately, the babies were in good health.

When she saw a baby she adored, she couldn’t help touching the baby’s little face.

It was not until she walked up to Sister Zhu, who was holding her baby and cautiously trying to make her baby asleep, that she saw a small figure sleeping in the cradle.

As Xiu described, although the baby was only a few months old, his fan-like long eyelashes cast a small shadow on his snow-white and delicate face.

The baby was sleeping soundly. No matter how noisy the other babies were, he seemed to have no reaction and slept soundly.

Lin Mengya couldn’t help reaching out to gently touch the baby’s little face, which was as smooth and tender as jelly. She found it quite adorable.

“The baby is so obedient. I wish my Xiao’er could be as quiet as him.”

Sister Zhu said with emotion. However, Lin Mengya looked at Xiao’er, who was giggling at her, and then looked at the baby, who was sleeping soundly in the cradle. A trace of doubt gradually came into her mind.

That was weird. Although babies usually slept for more than ten hours a day, they also spent some time getting to know the outside world.

As the Shen Nung system ran automatically, Lin Mengya was surprised to find that there were a few hypnotic ingredients in the baby’s body.

No wonder he was so sleepy.

Although the dose was almost negligible for an adult, it was enough to make a baby sleep all day.

“Besides this baby, has any other baby been in the same situation?”

Lin Mengya lowered her voice and pretended to ask inadvertently.

Sister Zhu said with a smile.

“It’s not easy to have such an obedient baby. Alas, but he’s so pitiful.”

It was strange. Could it be that someone drugged the baby’s mother during her lactation so that there were some hypnotic ingredients in the baby’s body?

However, Madam Wu had clearly said that when she woke up, she once felt a sharp pain in the top of her head.

In this case, when did the hypnotic ingredients enter her body?

“Sister Zhu, let me take this baby back and take care of him. You’ve been tired after working all day. You should take an early rest.”

Lin Mengya picked up the bamboo basket and said to her Sister Zhu with a smile.

After all, it took a lot of effort to take care of a baby. Taking care of another baby at the same time would definitely make things worse.

Therefore, Lin Mengya didn’t attract anyone’s attention when she proposed to take this baby away and take care of him.

Holding the bamboo basket, Lin Mengya placed herself in front of the baby’s head.

She cautiously returned to her tent. The baby just pouted and muttered, seeming to be dreaming of something delicious.

After putting the baby on the head of their bed, Lin Mengya covered the baby with a few more pieces of bedding.

After thinking for a while, she drew a piece of warm jade from her clothes and put it in the baby’s quilt.

She leaned against the cradle and carefully tidied up the baby’s clothes and quilts, showing a trace of maternal care at some point.

Xiu stretched out her head and looked at the baby curiously.

She kept taking his little hand or touching his little face.

She only felt that this baby was so cute and wished she could hold him in her arms and give him a big kiss.

“Keep it down. Don’t wake him up.”

The two of them unconsciously talked in a low voice, for fear that they would wake up the baby.

Xiu nodded immediately. Despite her reluctance, she had to obediently get onto her bed.

However, she kept looking at the baby.

“Sister, aren’t you married? My mother said that a girl can have a baby after getting married. Look, this baby is so cute. Why don’t you have a baby?”

The question made Lin Mengya speechless and a little upset. Why did everyone keep urging her to have a baby?

Perhaps those women around her age had become a mother.

“I’ll have one in the future. By the way, Xiu, do you have any unexpected discovery today?”

Lin Mengya also sat on the bed, sharing information with Xiu.

Although Xiu looked innocent, she was actually meticulous.

It did not mean that she was particularly scheming, but people tended to let down their guard in front of such a person.

Even the culprit behind the scenes would not be very wary of her.

In addition, she was young, clever, and lovely, so everyone regarded her as a child.

However, an ordinary child did not have the courage and wits to risk her life to go undercover in a group of human traffickers alone.

“Nothing special. Everyone just talked animatedly about the thing happening to Sister Wu. Some people even said that Sister Wu’s baby was a bane, so he got his mother into trouble. Nevertheless, just a few people said so.”

It was within Lin Mengya’s expectation that there would be such a statement.

Doctor Gu’s words might have planted the seeds of doubt in the hearts of these people.

After all, compared with medical skills, people preferred to trust Doctor Gu who had achieved initial success.

“Keep an eye on them. I’m afraid it’s not that simple. The thing happening to Madam will definitely cause a lot of rumors. But if the rumors are spread over there, I’m afraid it will put us in a difficult situation.”

In the evening, Long Tianyu sent someone to deliver a letter.

It was said that the senior fellow apprentice of the quack, the real Doctor Gu, had returned to the camp.

Long Tianyu only described the real Doctor Gu with four words—of the same batch.

In this case, if they knew this, some people would think that Madam Wu went crazy because of her son.

The plan of burying the babies alive she managed to stop would probably be carried out again.

It should be noted that the abnormal choice of sacrificing someone in exchange for the safety of most people would usually become a kind of mainstream opinion in a small area.

Even if this victim was a baby still in his infancy.

Xiu nodded. She certainly knew what to do.

They both took a look at the baby, who was still in his dream, simultaneously.

In the following days, they could only try all they could to keep this baby alive.

Tossing and turning restlessly all night, Lin Mengya kept thinking over the suspicious people.

However, there were too few clues. After thinking all night, she concluded that the most likely suspects could only be those women who lived with Madam Wu.
