Mr. Xia paced anxiously inside the room.

It wasn’t until the arrival of Master Lu Changsheng that Mr. Xia, in three quick steps, grabbed Lu Changsheng’s hand and anxiously said, “Doctor Lu, you’ve finally come. Please save my daughter.”

“Mr. Xia, don’t worry. Let me first see what’s wrong with Miss Xia,” replied Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng walked in and discovered that Miss Xia was tied up.

She looked dazed, her gaze vacant, her face pale, and her hair disheveled. She kept calling out the name “Zhang Lang” incessantly.

She had gone insane!

No wonder Mr. Xia was so desperate. If this continued, Miss Xia would either go insane or become an imbecile. Neither outcome was something Mr. Xia wanted to see.

Lu Changsheng tried to talk to Miss Xia, but she showed no response.

He then carefully questioned the maid about some details before starting to examine Miss Xia’s pulse.

After a quarter of an hour, Lu Changsheng stood up.

“Doctor Lu, how is my daughter?” Mr. Xia asked.

Lu Changsheng glanced around the room.

“Doctor Lu, feel free to speak. Everyone here can be trusted.”

Mr. Xia reassured Lu Changsheng. Besides Mr. and Mrs. Xia, the only people in the room were Miss Xia’s personal maid, and there were no outsiders.

Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly and said, “Mr. Xia, I advised Miss Xia to rest more and to avoid contact with the aphrodisiac. Judging from her current condition, not only did she come into contact with the aphrodisiac again, but the dosage this time was even higher, resulting in her current state.”

“What? Contacted the aphrodisiac again?” Mr. Xia’s face darkened.

He sharply turned his gaze to the maid and sternly asked, “Xiao Mei, you’re Miss’s personal maid. Tell me, who did Miss meet?!”

Terrified, Xiao Mei’s face turned pale.

She knew Miss Xia was not in a clear state of mind, and no one was protecting her at the moment.

If she concealed the truth, Mr. Xia might end up killing her.

So, stuttering, Xiao Mei said, ’“It’s… it’s Young Master Tan.”

“Miss met Young Master Tan when she went out of the city for an outing. They exchanged letters, and Miss gradually fell for Young Master Tan.”

“She didn’t let me tell Master or Madam. Later, when Miss fell ill, she cut off contact with Young Master Tan. But after her condition improved this time, she went to meet Young Master Tan outside the city again. Who would have thought that Miss would be drugged again…”

“Master, madam, have mercy!”

Xiao Mei kept bowing her head repeatedly.

In prominent households, such scandals were considered disgraceful.

Mr. Xia’s face turned grim upon hearing this, but he didn’t erupt in anger. Instead, his gaze became sharp and filled with killing intent.

“Where is Young Master Tan?” Mr. Xia inquired.

“I don’t know,” Xiao Mei replied anxiously. “Everytime, Young Master Tan and Miss exchanged letters, and then he arranged the meeting place.”

“Bang!”

Mr. Xia kicked Xiao Mei to the ground.

He couldn’t contain his anger. ’“Search the entire city! Even if you have to turn the earth upside down, find this Young Master Tan!”

“Master, calm down. This matter needs to be handled discreetly; otherwise, it will tarnish the family’s reputation,’1 the madam immediately advised.

Although Mr. Xia’s anger subsided slightly, the murderous intent remained. He turned to Lu Changsheng and asked, “Doctor Lu, is there a cure?”

“Of course. I’ll prescribe another set of medicines, and with a few days of recuperation, she should be fine. But this time, we must ensure that Miss doesn’t come into contact with the aphrodisiac again,” Lu Changsheng replied.

After prescribing the medicine, Lu Changsheng left. He didn’t want to know too much about scandals involving prominent families. As for Young Master Tan, that was Mr. Xia’s problem to deal with.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Changsheng calculated the time; he had been in Yancheng for about ten days. Miss Xia’s condition had improved, and a few more days of medication would suffice.

Mr. Xia wielded considerable influence in Yancheng, and apart from the Blackwater Gang, almost no one dared to defy him. Furthermore, the last time Lu Changsheng, under the identity of “Zhuang Thirteen,” had decimated the Blackwater Gang, the various hall masters were currently busy vying for the position of gang leader. They had no time to contend with the Xia family.

The Xia family indirectly benefited from Lu Changsheng’s assistance. As for how Mr. Xia dealt with Young Master Tan, Lu Changsheng wasn’t concerned. After all, Miss Xia was under house arrest.

Lu Changsheng didn’t want to stay in Yancheng any longer, so he bid farewell to Mr. Xia.

“Mr. Xia, Miss Xia’s condition has stabilized, and with some rest, she’ll fully recover.”

“Therefore, I plan to return to Nanyang City.”

Lu Changsheng directly stated his intention.

Mr. Xia seemed unsurprised. He wore a smile and said, “Doctor Lu, your medical skills are remarkable. Thanks to the true transmission from Old Wu, my daughter’s illness was cured by you.”

“Bring two hundred gold to Doctor Lu.”

“Doctor Lu, don’t refuse. Without you, my daughter would have been in trouble.”

“Liu Guard, take a team and escort Doctor Lu. Remember, ensure Doctor Lu safely returns to NanyangCity!”

Liu Guard was a martial artist in the Organ Refining Realm, indicating Mr. Xia s high regard for Lu Changsheng.

“Yes, sir.”

Liu Guard immediately went to make arrangements.

Soon, the servants brought two hundred gold.

Lu Changsheng naturally didn’t decline; after all, it was rightfully his due.

Miss Xia, under house arrest, didn’t come out to express her gratitude, but Lu Changsheng didn’t mind.

Afterwards, he packed his belongings and boarded the carriage.

The carriage slowly headed out of Yancheng and arrived at a bamboo forest outside the city.

“Swish, swish, swish.”
