"They are all suicide squad members."

Yi Shuihan replied.

“It’s not easy to raise such a group of assassins. You’ve been given a group of fifty. Do you know who did this?”

Xiao Qingyin shook her head.

Not to mention the enemies he made before going to the capital, he also offended quite a few people after arriving in the capital.

Healing Ning Shi and Wei Yan offended Concubine Chang and the eldest son of the Duke of Ningguo's mansion.

Because of Bai Musheng, he offended the Third Princess again.

Unraveling the mystery of the crown prince's infertility, it remains to be seen which powerful figure was offended.

Thinking of this, a feeling of being surrounded by enemies arose spontaneously, and Xiao Qingyin couldn't help but shudder.

She needs to find a powerful patron to rely on, otherwise treating one person will only create an enemy for her entire family, and then what kind of doctor can she be?

Being a doctor is too dangerous in this day and age.

No wonder not many people are willing to study medicine.

Yi Shuihan knew she had offended many people and couldn't immediately determine who was responsible, so he said, "I'll have someone investigate this matter..."

“Wait a minute,” Xiao Qingyin suddenly interrupted him, “Could you send someone to the Xiao residence to check on that old coachman surnamed He and his wife?”

"I'll go."

Yi Wu volunteered.

Yi Shuihan nodded: "Okay."

Yi Wu leaped up like a rabbit and swooped down like a falcon, disappearing from the rooftop in the blink of an eye.

"You suspect these people are connected to the bandits of Fengling Bandit Village?"

Yi Shuihan frowned.

“It’s just speculation,” Xiao Qingyin replied. “They didn’t kill me; instead, they wanted to take me away. It seems they have some ulterior motive.”

If they wanted to kill her, they wouldn't have only fired three arrows in the first place. With a rain of arrows falling from the sky, she wouldn't have been able to escape even if she had wings.

Even the first three arrows were not aimed at vital areas.

Yi Shuihan seemed lost in thought.

"By the way," Xiao Qingyin looked directly into Yi Shuihan's eyes, "what's the background of that bandit stronghold? Can you tell me?"

"The investigation is still ongoing."

Xiao Qingyin: "???"

"It's been a month since the bandit suppression, and you still haven't gotten any information? Could it be that you were so bloodthirsty that day that you didn't leave a single survivor?"

“I left them behind,” Yi Shuihan said calmly. “The intelligence is all in the hands of that bandit leader. The others are just ordinary bandits who know nothing.”

"The bandit leader didn't confess? Could it be that you're reluctant to interrogate him because of the 'one-night stand' you shared?"

"..."

Yi Shuihan ground his back teeth, feeling an urge to split the woman in front of him in two.

Xiao Qingyin felt a chill run through her and instinctively shrank her neck.

Yi San, who had been listening intently from the rooftop for a while, quickly came to his master's rescue.

"That guy is incredibly resilient. We've tried every interrogation method imaginable. He was on the verge of death, but he didn't even blink, as if he felt no pain."

Can't feel any pain?

What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.

A thought flashed through Xiao Qingyin's mind, and she said to Yi Shuihan, "Could you take me to see this person? He may have a rare disease."

"What rare disease?"

"Congenital insensitivity to pain."

Xiao Qingyin replied.

"This is a hereditary disease caused by gene mutation. It damages the patient's sensory nerves, meaning that people with this disease cannot feel any pain, and may not even experience anxiety or fear."

"Such a good thing?" Yi San exclaimed. "With this disease, wouldn't we be invincible?"

Xiao Qingyin shook her head and smiled, "Not feeling pain doesn't mean they won't get hurt. On the contrary, they often get hurt without realizing it, which can easily endanger their lives."

Yi San recalled the bandit leader in prison and wholeheartedly agreed.

"No wonder he didn't react several times when he was on the verge of death."

As Yi Shuihan listened to their conversation, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

The absence of pain sensation means that all interrogation methods are ineffective against that person. How can we get him to talk?

A figure suddenly landed in the alley.

Yi Wu is back.

"Dr. Xiao, the elderly couple surnamed He have been murdered."

Xiao Qingyin's heart sank.

When did this happen?

"About an hour ago, they were having dinner when someone suddenly slit their throats. The room was in a mess, which looked like the work of a thief, but it seemed more like a cover-up."

There's no need to speculate now; the group in black and the people who killed Old Man He and his wife are definitely the same force.

Why won't they let them go?

It couldn't possibly be just out of revenge, otherwise she wouldn't have been allowed to live.

Xiao Qingyin pursed her lips and said to Yi Shuihan, "Take me to see that bandit leader."

"good."

Yi Shuihan asked a few people to stay behind to clean up the mess, while he left with Xiao Qingyin and the others.

Xiao Qingyin had thought she would go to the military camp outside the city like last time, and wanted to go back first to tell the three Hans that she might not be back that night.

Unexpectedly, Yi Shuihan said to the coachman, "Go to the Marquis of Yong'an's residence."

"You've locked people up in the mansion?"

Xiao Qingyin was astonished.

"Yes, I've been staying at the manor recently."

Xiao Qingyin was puzzled. She had stayed at the Yong'an Marquis's residence for many days, but she had never met him once.

Does this guy usually hide in his room?

It's not like it's something shameful to be seen in public, why is it like you're keeping a mistress in a golden house?

Could it be...?

She looked intently at Yi Shuihan and asked, "What exactly is your relationship with the Crown Prince?"

Yi Shuihan glanced at her. "What do you want to know?"

"It feels like you're his childhood sweetheart..."

"Clang!"

The teacup in Yi Shuihan's hand fell to the ground.

He pressed his temples, feeling like he had used up all the patience he had in his life.

"You don't have to say such outrageous things all the time, okay? We just have a normal master-servant relationship!"
