Seeing that their goal had been achieved, the masked men no longer lingered in the fight. The leader waved his hand, and several people quickly stepped forward, carried Su Huaiyue, and ran towards the depths of the forest.

Wei Che wanted to catch up, but because of his severe injuries, his vision went black and he fell heavily to the ground.

Several young yamen runners also fell to the ground seriously injured, watching Su Huaiyue being abducted, but they were powerless to do anything.

The yamen runners who were on watch outside the forest heard the sound of fighting and walked into the forest cautiously to check.

When they saw the people lying on the ground with serious injuries and Su Huaiyue disappearing, their hearts sank and they knew that something was wrong.

One of the yamen runners didn't care about anything else and immediately ran back to the county government office to report the news.

When he hurried back to the forest with reinforcements, Su Huaiyue had already been taken away, leaving only the seriously injured and unconscious Wei Che and other yamen runners.

The reinforcements quickly carried Wei Che and others back to the county government office for treatment.

Upon hearing the news, County Magistrate Chen was so angry that his face turned ashen. He paced back and forth in the county hall, shouting, "These thieves are truly too arrogant! How dare they kidnap Miss Su right under our noses!"

Wei Che was injured and unconscious in bed, his breath as weak as a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.

Lord Li was extremely anxious and hurriedly sent his men to invite the top doctor in the city who was famous for his miraculous healing power at all costs.

The doctor looked solemn, his fingers on Wei Che's pulse, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter. The people from the Wei family who were watching him felt their hearts in their throats.

Madam Wei sat by the bed, her wrinkled face filled with anxiety and worry. Tears flashed in her cloudy eyes from time to time, and her lips trembled as she kept muttering, "What kind of suffering did Huaiyue endure? I wonder how she is now..."

Her voice was filled with endless worry and fear, as if every word she said was weighed down by anxiety.

Wei Yunrou was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in the room, her steps hurried and messy.

She looked out the window from time to time, her eyes full of anxiety, her hands rubbing unconsciously, and her inner uneasiness becoming more and more intense.

Finally, she could no longer hold back, gritted her teeth, and made up her mind to go to the mountains alone to find Su Huaiyue.

Just as she was about to step out of the room, Wei Che on the bed moved his fingers slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Brother, you're awake!" Wei Yunrou screamed in surprise, her eyes instantly red, and she took two steps at a time and hurried to the bed, holding Wei Che's hands tightly with both hands, fearing that this was just a fleeting dream.

Wei Che's face was as pale as paper, and his lips were bloodless. He moved his cracked lips slightly, and his voice was weak but with unquestionable firmness: "Yun Rou, don't worry..."

As he spoke, he used all his strength and raised his hand with difficulty. His hand was trembling slightly due to excessive blood loss, but he held the note with the prescription in his hand tightly.

He pointed with his other hand at the blood-stained medicine bag lying beside him. "This is the medicine we risked our lives to bring back, along with the prescription. Hurry...quickly give it to County Magistrate Chen. Have him quickly prepare it according to the formula and distribute it to the people suffering from the plague."

Every word he spoke was extremely difficult, but was filled with deep concern for the people.

Wei Yunrou nodded vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes. She carefully took the note and medicine bag, as if she was holding the hope of countless people.

Wei Che took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, and continued, "I think Su Huaiyue was kidnapped by them on purpose. She is very thoughtful and must have wanted to find out the details of those people. But she is alone there, it is too dangerous..."

When he said this, his eyes revealed deep worry, as if he could see Su Huaiyue was in danger and suffering torture.

Upon hearing this, Madam Wei's already anxious heart rose to her throat. She said anxiously, "Che'er, what should we do? Huaiyue, how could she be so foolish and so adventurous..."

Her voice was tearful, full of heartache and concern for Su Huaiyue.

Wei Che held on and comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry. I promise you that I will do everything I can to save her."

After saying that, he turned to look at Wei Yunrou, his eyes filled with trust and entrustment, "Yunrou, hurry up and ask County Magistrate Chen to come over. I have something important to ask him."

Wei Yunrou didn't dare to delay and turned around and left quickly.

Not long after, County Magistrate Chen heard the news and hurried over without even having time to put on his official uniform.

He walked into the room and saw Wei Che who had woken up. The heavy stone in his heart finally fell halfway, but when he thought that Su Huaiyue's life or death was still uncertain, his brows furrowed again.

Wei Che looked at County Magistrate Chen, his eyes burning with anger, and asked anxiously, "County Magistrate Chen, do you know who is on this mountain? How dare they be so bold as to kidnap people in broad daylight?"

His voice trembled slightly with anger, and he wished he could pull out those villains immediately.

County Magistrate Chen sighed helplessly, shook his head heavily, and frowned into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

"Master Wei, to be honest, I'm also very worried about this matter. I've mobilized all the connections I can and asked around, but no one knows where this group of people came from."

"But in my opinion, this matter is most likely related to those chambers of commerce. We suspected them of being behind this before, and now it seems very likely that they are resorting to such despicable means to prevent us from obtaining medicinal herbs and developing an antidote."

Upon hearing this, Wei Che's eyes flashed with a cold gleam, a mixture of anger and determination. "No matter who is behind this, I will never let them go. County Magistrate Chen, please send more capable personnel to secretly investigate the actions of these chambers of commerce in the city and see if you can find any clues."

"I will also do my best to go into the mountains to rescue Huaiyue myself." His tone was firm, as if he had already seen the moment when the enemy was brought to justice.

County Magistrate Chen nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Wei. I will do my best to cooperate. However, your injuries are serious and require careful recovery. Don't rush things. Miss Su is a lucky person and will be fine."

Wei Che clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from exertion, his eyes as firm as steel: "I understand, I will recover as soon as possible. But she is in danger, and she may encounter an accident at any minute. How can I rest assured and recuperate?"

He secretly swore in his heart that he must find Su Huaiyue as soon as possible, send the masterminds behind the scenes to the guillotine, and restore Southwest City to its former peace and tranquility.

At the same time, Su Huaiyue was dragged and pulled by the group of masked men all the way to an extremely secluded mountain villa.
