"Yes, I am Yue Mingze." Yue Mingze turned to the little maid. "Alright, then you stay here. I have something to do and have to go first. By the way, you know about his illness, right?" Xiao Nan confirmed with him again.

Yue Mingze said solemnly, "I know, don't worry, I will definitely guard him personally."

Xiao Nan nodded and left. She needed to tell the master that the young lady was not dead and that she should continue to send people to search for her. She had just reached the corner when she saw Wu Ma standing there.

Wu Ma leaned against the wall, her back bent over, and the shadow cast on the wall bent even more.

"Aunt Wu! Miss, she..." Xiao Nan was about to speak when Aunt Wu shook her head at her. "What's wrong?" Xiao Nan lowered her voice and even ran over with lighter steps.

Aunt Wu and Uncle Sun arrived with Xiao Nan and the others, but they were clearly elderly and were not allowed to approach the hospital, for fear that something might happen to them.

Wu Ma had already been heartbroken, but she firmly believed that the young lady was not among the victims. Now, seeing Xiao Nan so happy, she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. She took Xiao Nan's hand and walked outside.

"What were you trying to say?" After walking for a while, Aunt Wu finally asked. Xiao Nan excitedly grabbed Aunt Wu's hand, "Miss is definitely still alive. Butler Yue, Yue Lanxing had an allergic reaction, and the doctor has already sent him for surgery."

Seeing that Xiaonan had said two completely unrelated things, Aunt Wu did not interrupt her immediately. After listening, she gestured for her to continue, "Explain yourself clearly. How does his allergy have anything to do with Miss?"

"Oh!" Xiao Nan realized that Aunt Wu didn't know about Yue Lanxing's illness. "It's like this, Butler Yue came to the mansion back then because..."

"That's how it happened. After that incident, he discovered that he wasn't allergic to the young lady, but just now his whole hand was swollen. Based on that alone, the person whose face was completely disfigured couldn't be the young lady."

Xiao Nan no longer cared that Yue Lanxing was having an allergic reaction; she only felt that this meant the young lady was still alive, which was a great joy. Even the dried tear stains on her face seemed to show her happiness.

Aunt Wu was also happy. She patted Xiao Nan's shoulders with both hands, "Good job! Come on, I'll take you... Old Sun, why did you come out?"

The two women turned around and saw Uncle Sun standing in front of them. "I was wondering why I didn't see you two?" Uncle Sun looked worried. "Alas, the master won't allow an autopsy. He said the person is already gone, and the cremation will be done tomorrow, along with the funeral arrangements for the second young lady."

"Why should I?" Xiao Nan retorted immediately. "Even if the young lady were still alive, she shouldn't be allowed to have her funeral with a bastard who set fire to the house and brought it on himself."

Xiao Nan was about to rush over immediately, saying, "No, I have to go and explain."

"Wait a minute, Xiaonan, calm down. Old Sun, when I came out just now, didn't Dean Ye say that he also suspected that the corpse wasn't the young lady's?" Wu Ma pressed Xiaonan down with one hand while asking for information.

Uncle Sun glanced behind him, and after confirming that no one had come out, he was still uneasy. "Let's go, let's talk somewhere else."

"Okay, let's go to the ward. Yue Lanxing should be sent over later." Xiao Nan led them over, and coincidentally, there was another person waiting at the ward door.

There was no one guarding the door of the ward, but because Yue Mingze couldn't find Yue Lanxing, he went out and called the bodyguard in. At this moment, a girl was squatting about two meters away from them.

"Xiao Ke? What are you doing squatting here?" Xiao Nan asked irritably.

"Oh, I... I have something I want to tell you." Xiao Ke didn't dare to look up, but there was something she had to say. "It's very important. I've gone with the police to find the thugs' hideout. I'm going to tell them before I go to jail."

Aunt Wu took Xiao Nan's hand and said, "Okay, come in with us."

Wu Ma walked ahead, and the bodyguards didn't stop her. Xiao Ke didn't expect these people to be so easy to talk to. She wished she hadn't waited for so long. She followed behind.

After entering the ward and closing the door, Aunt Wu sat down and began to question Xiao Ke, "Xiao Ke, you go first. You can name the culprit in public, so there must be something you need to tell us."

"Yes, yes, I do. Actually, there are two missing victims." Xiao Ke described earnestly, "The second young lady and I met them in the fire escape on the third floor. An old lady and a madman."

"They didn't go downstairs. The madwoman ran up to the fourth floor, and the old lady chased after her. I came out earlier than them, but I didn't see them come out."

"I think they might have run away from somewhere, otherwise they wouldn't have disappeared without a trace. So it's possible that the young lady ran away with them too."

"They ran up to the fourth floor, and you didn't see them come out?" Wu Ma's hope grew stronger. From Yue Lanxing to Xiao Ke's testimony, the possibility that the young lady was still alive was getting bigger and bigger.

Xiao Ke was very confident about this. "Yes, I didn't see them come out." What she dared not say was that she was so focused on watching the rescued people because she was afraid that Xu Zhaoming would come out.

She waited and waited, but Xu Zhaoming never came. She finally met her among the victims.

"Old Sun, why doesn't the master have an autopsy? Right now, there's a body that's so badly disfigured that we can't even tell who it is. Unless it's a girl in her early twenties, it means it's not our young lady."

Uncle Sun understood Wu Ma's agitation. He was about to speak when he sighed, "Master said that the deceased should be respected and laid to rest in peace. He is convinced that it is the eldest daughter and wants to hold the funeral as soon as possible."

"I suspect him..."

Uncle Sun glanced at Xiao Nan and Xiao Ke, but didn't say what was on his mind. "You two go out first. I have something to discuss with Old Sun." Aunt Wu noticed his hesitation.
