Chapter 88 Are doctors easier to fool?
Eliminating Hwa Kyung-shin is also very important for Shadow One and Shadow Three, because they are now traitors to the Hwa Kyung family.
In order to mislead the family head, when they joined forces to kill Shadow Two, they had Shadow Four send a seemingly ambiguous message to the family head:
"Two days ago, Mr. Bai, who is suspected to be one of the targets, visited the Silverwing Legion's base with his wife and children. His purpose was to visit the legion commander."
After receiving this message, Hua Jingxin did not doubt that the person was Mr. Bai, because in the previous message, the runaway slave did not have a wife and children with him.
Hua Jingxin sent out most of his family members to inquire, and finally found out that the people who visited Tang Haohan were actually his sister's family of three who had married far away.
However, he did not let his guard down because of this, and continued to send people to closely monitor Tang Haohan and his subordinates.
Unfortunately, the news that came back was that the Silverwing Legion had been calm and had not made any unusual moves, but Hua Jingxin dared not relax his vigilance in the slightest.
Now that the family's two largest branches have been destroyed, he not only has to guard against those two terrifying escaped slaves allying with Tang Haohan, but also has to worry about the Simmons family taking the opportunity to annex the Hua Jing family's territories in Xiya City and Lindong City.
Hua Jingxin felt overwhelmed and therefore overlooked the fact that Ying Er hadn't sent him any messages for five consecutive days.
It wasn't until the sixth day, when Long Ji, the most outstanding member of the reclusive Long family, gave his inaugural speech on the StarNet, that Hua Jingxin realized the world on Silverwing Star had changed.
It's hateful that he was so preoccupied with the escaped slave incident that he overlooked the important matter of Tang Haohan's secret alliance with Long Ji.
The Simmons family, busy suppressing the Hua Jing family, also overlooked this.
As for the Ke family, they've been embroiled in internal strife lately and have no time to pay attention to anything else.
By now, the three great families have finally come to their senses and want to join forces to oppose Long Ji's ascension to the throne, but it's too late.
They could only think about taking things slowly and gradually taking a piece of the pie from Long Ji.
However, to their even greater surprise, at the end of his inaugural speech, Long Ji announced to the entire planet that the Alliance Council had passed a new constitution that completely abolished the slave trade.
Next, the authorities will send soldiers from the Silverwing Legion to go door-to-door to cancel the slave registration of each slave and order slave owners to release their slaves on the spot and give them their freedom.
The moment this was announced, people all over the planet were in an uproar!
Those who opposed slavery, or whose family members had been forced into slavery, rushed to the Silverwing Legion's local base immediately, demanding to join the army.
The Silverwing Legion quickly doubled in size, and the new Alliance Council gained the support of the entire population.
The three great families originally planned to gather their forces to openly oppose the New Alliance Council's move to abolish slavery, but they were stunned by the uproar.
In the heat of the moment, anyone who dares to defy public opinion will likely face a fierce attack from the agitated crowd.
That night, the three major families were destined to be sleepless, and so were the people of the entire planet.
Hua Jingxin returned to the main house looking disheveled and slumped into a grand chair.
He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't understand how things had gotten to this bad point.
Thinking about his current safety, he suddenly remembered the four shadows he had sent out.
Why didn't any of them send back news before such a shocking event occurred outside? Was it really because Tang Haohan and Long Ji did an excellent job of keeping it a secret?
No, something's not right!
The four shadows were all first-rate at gathering information, but five whole days had passed, and apart from the ambiguous message that Shadow Four had sent back earlier, no other useful information had been sent back.
Hua Jingxin opened his personal computer, intending to use the emergency recall method to summon all four shadows back to inquire about the situation, when he received a message from Shadow One.
"Master, we have captured the A+ grade of the two runaway slaves. Should we dispose of him on the spot, or bring him back to the family for you to interrogate and handle personally?"
"You caught one? How did you catch him?" Hua Jingxin immediately perked up and sent a holographic video signal.
Yingyi calmly pressed receive. In the video, they were in a small hotel, and a man was lying unconscious on the sofa.
Hua Jingxin saw the face in the close-up shot that Yingyi had deliberately zoomed in on, and it was indeed exactly the same as the runaway slave in the information that had been sent back earlier.
"Master, it's all thanks to Xiao Si'er. He found this person in front of a pharmacy."
His name was Bo Yiyan, and he was a highly skilled physician. He could tell at a glance that Xiao Si'er had been poisoned, and he was particularly interested in this poison.
He offered to draw Xiao Si'er's blood for testing and then help prepare the antidote.
How could Xiao Si'er trust the words of a runaway slave? He pretended to agree, then tricked him into coming to this small inn, while simultaneously sending a message to the three of us.
When we arrived, Xiao Si had already drugged him. He probably would never have imagined that a doctor like himself could be drugged by a child.
Yingyi glanced at Ying Si in the picture, her expression showing a hint of pride and smugness, but Hua Jingxin didn't notice anything amiss.
He didn't even notice Shadow Two and Shadow Three, who weren't in the frame, assuming they were just keeping watch outside the door, afraid that another companion of the escaped slave would come looking for them.
"Alright, hurry up and bring him back. This guy is a doctor, so he's easy to fool. His other companion is probably very shrewd. If he comes looking for you, you might not be a match for him," Hua Jingxin said decisively.
“Okay, then we’ll be back within half an hour.” Ying nodded.
After turning off the video, all three figures turned to look at Bo Yiyan, who was slowly sitting up from the sofa.
Are doctors so easily fooled? Perhaps the head of the family has some misunderstanding about doctors?
Compared to his other companion, Mr. Bai, this Dr. Bo was the real cunning and shrewd one.
Using his capture as bait, they tricked the head of the household into opening the main house's defense system and letting them in. This plan was personally designed by Dr. Bo.
As for Mr. Bai, he disguised himself as Shadow Two and used his identity token to sneak in.
He happened to have a Disguise Mask, which allowed him to impersonate anyone he wanted, even mimicking their aura perfectly.
Although the three shadows had heard of disguise techniques, they never expected that such a mask actually existed in the world. After Mr. Bai put it on in front of them, he instantly transformed into Shadow Two, and even the three of them couldn't tell the difference.
With the patriarch's order, four shadows emptied a person from a sack, carried him into the main house openly, and led him into Hua Jingxin's study.
The one who carried the person was Shadow One. He was the most burly of the four. After going inside, he casually tossed the person onto the sofa.
Hua Jingxin frowned. This sofa was made of the hide of a sixth-tier alien beast, and it was very expensive. How could Ying Yi not understand any manners? Instead of throwing people on the carpet, she threw them onto the sofa.
Having been cautious for decades, he suddenly sensed a great crisis. He raised his hand to open his personal terminal, intending to activate his last emergency measures.
But then he saw the person who had been lying unconscious on the sofa open his eyes and was smiling and winking at him.
