"Huo Mingchen!"

Cheng Shanshan called out.

Immediately, her face showed dissatisfaction: "What do you mean you've arranged everything? Are you going to arrange things for me now?" Thinking back to the last time when she didn't even have a chance to speak and was simply knocked unconscious and thrown over there, her anger flared up instantly.

Huo Mingchen stepped forward: "That's not what I meant, I just don't..."

"Don't you believe me?" Cheng Shanshan's face darkened, her eyes filled with displeasure. "Do you see me as nothing more than a piece of trash or something?"

"No."

Huo Mingchen grew anxious: "Shanshan, I..."

"If you don't have anything to say, then don't say it. I'm not leaving, and it's impossible for me to leave." After saying this, Cheng Shanshan turned and left.

Huo Mingchen was left standing there, unsure of what to say.

When Cheng Shisi saw this, he couldn't help but gloat: "Oh dear, my sister's angry. Let's see if you're still so smug!"

"..."

Huo Mingchen remained silent.

She simply turned her head silently to look at Cheng Shisi.

A chilling aura suddenly wafted over, giving Cheng Shisi a bad feeling. Sure enough, Huo Mingchen beckoned: "Come on, I'll teach you a few more powerful moves."

"Can I not learn it?"

"Can't."

With a rustling sound, the birds took flight.

...

Peace City.

Dark clouds loomed overhead, a storm seemed imminent.

The Dong residence was deathly silent when suddenly a scream rang out.

The next instant, a blood-covered man rushed out of the dungeon. He began to bite and tear at people in sight, causing the people in the mansion to flee in terror.

However, this chaos did not last long. As Magistrate Dong cast his net, the blood-soaked man was trapped: "Let me go! Let me go! You, surnamed Dong, you'll die a horrible death!"

"You should be the one who dies."

As soon as Magistrate Dong finished speaking, those who had surrounded him tightened their nets. With increasing pressure, the bloodied man was strangled tightly. He gritted his teeth and said, "I... I will haunt you even as a ghost!"

"Then come find me."

Prefect Dong's voice was extremely cold.

Then, without even bothering to look at it, he simply ordered, "Burn it."

"yes."

The servants immediately sprang into action.

At this moment, more than a dozen doctors rushed over. They saw the blood all over the ground and trembled uncontrollably: "Prefect Dong, this person took the medicine and suddenly went crazy and couldn't be controlled."

"What do you mean you don't know what's wrong?" Magistrate Dong's face showed unusual impatience. "He's just a drug addict. You can't even keep an eye on him with so many of you? What am I doing keeping a bunch of useless people around?"

These words were filled with murderous intent, sending chills down one's spine!

The doctors were terrified and quickly explained, "We...we didn't want to either, but this kind of medicine is too difficult to control, and we're running out of ingredients, so we can only reduce the dosage."

"Yes, yes, he's the kind of person with strong willpower who regained consciousness, while the others are fine." These words came from Dr. Wu, who, although not very old, had the best medical skills among the group.

Magistrate Dong frowned: "Didn't we just give you new medicinal herbs? Are they all gone so quickly?"

"There's nothing we can do; the number of people needing medicine has increased again." As Doctor Wu finished speaking, he cautiously raised his head: "Prefect Dong, we've already collected all the medicinal herbs in the surrounding mountains. You need to think of another way, otherwise this won't do."

Prefect Dong gritted his teeth: "If none of you can do it, where am I supposed to get it?"

Dr. Wu quickly said, "That Cheng Shanshan, can't we find her?"

She's gone.

Prefect Dong gets angry when this is mentioned.

A perfectly healthy person suddenly disappeared, and he searched for a whole day but couldn't find him.

Doctor Wu thought for a moment: "The world outside isn't peaceful either. She's probably hiding somewhere. If we don't get the medicinal herbs, I'm afraid..."

"It won't be impossible!"

Prefect Dong clenched his fists, then his eyes turned icy cold: "I have a way to make her come out on her own."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a man rushed over, asking respectfully, "Prefect Dong, the man has been captured. What should we do with him?"

"Of course, they'll tie you up and bring you to my doorstep."

The people arrested by Magistrate Dong were none other than members of the Ye family.

They were bound hand and foot to the logs. Ye Xi angrily cursed, "Prefect Dong, what the hell are you doing arresting us? Let me tell you, release me right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Hey! Did you hear me?!"

"Let me go!"

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, Liu Liu snapped, "What's the point of shouting like that? Are you just trying to deafen me?"

Ye Xi was dissatisfied, her face full of anger: "Are we just going to wait like this?"

Liu Liu retorted, not to be outdone: "So, are we just going to keep shouting like this?"

"alright."

Ye Dong stopped the two of them from speaking.

He glanced around before continuing, "Haven't you noticed how quiet it is here?"

After they were captured, they were tied up here. It was so quiet that there wasn't a sound or any other movement, not even a single person in sight.

This feels like... a trap has been set up!

Catching a turtle in a jar!

Ye Xi also realized something was wrong: "Who are they trying to lure out with us?" He thought for a moment before suddenly thinking: "Cheng Shanshan, I guess!"

"Um."

Ye Dong nodded.

Aside from Cheng Shanshan, they couldn't think of anyone else: "Prefect Dong has been looking for her all day, so he probably wants to use us to force her to come out on her own, right?"

Ye Xi was immediately annoyed: "It's all because Liu Liu brought people home carelessly that this has caused trouble, and now our whole family is in trouble."

"I……"

Liu Liu was on the verge of tears.

However, she wasn't doing it for herself, but because she was worried about Cheng Shanshan.

After all, she didn't know why things had turned out this way, so she hurriedly asked Ye Dong, "Did Sister Shanshan offend Magistrate Dong? Why? Wasn't she the one who was looking for herbs for Magistrate Dong?"

Ye Dong didn't speak, but silently clenched his fists.

Originally, he didn't want to see Cheng Shanshan being targeted by Ye Xi, and thought he would calm down before letting her come back.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Shanshan disappeared after leaving, and judging from Magistrate Dong's attitude, something seems to have happened.

What exactly happened?

Just as he was filled with questions, Magistrate Dong came out from inside. He was no longer as warm as before: "Ye Dong, where exactly did Cheng Shanshan go?"

"I have no idea."

Ye Dong's answer was simple and clear.

But Prefect Dong didn't believe him. Instead, he coaxed him gently: "Ye Dong, I really have no other choice but to resort to this tactic. If you can tell me where that girl went, I promise I won't make things difficult for you."

Ye Dong: "Prefect Dong, I'm not familiar with her."

These words caused Prefect Dong to drop his pretense, his voice turning as cold as ice: "Then I'll see if she'll come to your rescue!"
