Upon hearing that it was rats, Dr. Huang quickly realized what Su Xingran had thought: the people of Japan wanted to use rats to create and spread the plague.
Plague spreads rapidly and its symptoms are severe. If detected early and treated with medicine, it may be curable. If detected late, without treatment, death will occur quickly.
Just as Duan Yuming was about to leave, he heard Doctor Huang ask Su Xingran if there was anything else she had forgotten. He stopped and decided to listen before leaving.
Upon hearing Su Xingran mention seeing people from Japan carrying cages filled with rats, even though he wasn't a medical student, he instantly understood; the word "plague" popped into his mind.
Doctor Huang and Duan Yuming exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes. "Uncle Huang, I'm going out now. Xingran, you stay with your master and don't go out."
Duan Yuming called the two policemen beside him out. "You two must stay here and be vigilant. If anyone gets close, make sure to take precautions and protect Dr. Huang and his apprentice."
Xingran, how come you're not scared at all? You even dared to go into the deep mountains alone to find the lair of the Sakura Kingdom.
Did you not take your master and Uncle Duan's words to heart? This is too risky. There are so many adults who can go, but you, a little girl, are putting yourself in danger. What will happen if something happens?
Although Doctor Huang knew that her apprentice was no ordinary person—she had her own strengths and life-saving skills—the thought of her opponent being a ruthless and vicious Japanese person still bothered her.
He was very worried, fearing that his apprentice would never return. Doctor Huang knew he couldn't stop the girl, but he always hoped she would be safe and grow up peacefully.
Seeing her master looking downcast and helpless, Su Xingran quickly apologized and went to comfort him.
Master, look, I'm back safe and sound. I'm fine. I've been into the mountains many times, and I've always come back safely.
Master, don't worry, I need to grow up quickly so I can take over your responsibilities and let you enjoy a relaxing retirement soon!
Hearing his apprentice's words, Doctor Huang couldn't help but laugh. He tapped Su Xingran's forehead and said, "You little rascal, you'll make things easier for your master from now on."
Duan Yuming pedaled so hard the wheels were practically sparking. When he arrived at the guesthouse and couldn't find Gu Moting, he immediately went to the police station to look for Huang Tai'an.
He only found out that Gu Moting was there when he arrived at the police station. Duan Yuming drank a large glass of water to calm his panting, which was caused by excessive exercise.
"That girl from Uncle Huang's family has discovered something," Duan Yuming said as soon as he opened his mouth. It's no wonder; the things that girl does get more and more outrageous and shocking each time.
Huh? What did that girl Xingran do again? Huang Tai'an instinctively felt that Su Xingran had done something surprising again after hearing Duan Yuming's words.
Wow, Xingran went deep into the mountains today to search for the hiding place of the Sakura Kingdom people. Uncle Huang, her parents, and I are almost frantic with worry. Nobody knows where she went, but Uncle Huang had a gut feeling that she might have gone up the mountain.
I was just about to go up the mountain to find her when I bumped into her coming back from outside. She brought back very useful information.
