Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: It Turns Out To Be Poisoning!

Without hesitation, she raised her hand to knock on her own head, silently cursing herself.

The voice she heard earlier was obviously someone in great pain. How could she even entertain the thought of seizing someone else's house for herself?

With that, she hurriedly opened the courtyard gate, walked in, placing the bamboo basket in the yard. She then ran up the bamboo steps and knocked on the door, saying, "Is anyone there? Please open the door."

After waiting for a while, the air was filled with silence. Not even an insect flew by in front of Lin Caisang's eyes.

"Could the person have fainted?"

She muttered to herself, grinding her teeth.

"Nevermind, I'll go in and have a look. This isn't exactly breaking into someone else's house, after all. I'm here to save a life, what's there to fear?"

With that said, she forcefully pushed open the door and walked in.

"Zhe Jue, what are you blocking me for? If the leader finds out we're incompetent, at that time..." In the forest, a young man and woman had been secretly watching the bamboo house. They witnessed Lin Caisang entering, but felt helpless to do anything.

The woman frowned at the man.

"If you appear in front of her at will, the leader will be furious."

Zhe Jue glanced at her, his face didn't budge in the slightest as the woman scolded him, as calm as ever.

"Zhe Xi, don't forget your role!"

"You——"

Zhe Xi ground her teeth after hearing his words. She wished she could smack the man standing before her eyes, yet all she could do was take a deep breath and flounce her sleeves at him.

"I can't be bothered to argue with you!"

With that, she continued to stare intently at the bamboo house, waiting for Lin Caisang to leave.

Unaware of the people watching her with hawk-like eyes from the forest, Lin Caisang entered the house only to be shocked by what she saw. Inside, chairs were upturned, tables toppled, and everything that could stand was knocked down.

But this was not what shocked her. What shocked her was the unconscious man lying on the ground.

"Ya Molian? Ya Molian, how…"

She rushed over, wanting to ask him what he was doing there, but when she saw the unconscious man with closed eyes, she swallowed her words.

She reached out to grab his wrist and took his pulse. After a while, her face turned serious.

"He's been poisoned!"

And it wasn't just any poison, but slow-acting poison. It was the kind of poison that, when it took effect, wouldn't kill immediately, but would cause agonizing pain.

"Who on earth are you?"

She looked down at the man with purple-black lips, closed eyes, and no reaction of any sort, and asked herself under her breath.

Ya Molian was not a native of Ya Village. He was adopted by a local family surnamed Ya about fifteen years ago, a time before she was even born.

She had only heard that Ya Molian was extraordinary ever since he was adopted at the age of five, with a petite body, he could kill a fully grown wolf. This is the reason he was adopted by the Ya's family who recognized his abilities.

He lived with that household for ten years and left with a startling method five years ago, buying and moving into their old residence - the house next to hers.

Thus, people from the Ya Village did not really know where Ya Molian came from or his origin.

"Regardless of who he is, I need to save him first."

There's a saying that doctors must be kind-hearted, although she might not be kind-hearted, Ya Molian did help her out the day before. For this reason alone, she feels she should repay the favor.
