A short while later, Wu Daming rushed back, his face truly ashen.
"Master, Master, something terrible has happened!"
Wu Daoyi was getting annoyed by this question. He frowned and asked, "What big thing has happened now? Did you forget to check the almanac today? Why are there so many things going on?"
Wu Daming pointed frantically towards the Wu family's storeroom and stammered, "Master, the storeroom... the storeroom has been robbed!"
Wu Daoyi immediately stood up from his chair, asking incredulously, "What did you say? Say it again?!"
Wu Daming said with a mournful face, "Master, I just went to the storeroom to withdraw the deposit for Yilou, but when I opened the storeroom with the key, I found that everything inside had disappeared!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Daoyi hurriedly walked towards the door, saying as he went, "They're all gone? How is that possible? I have to go and see for myself."
After saying that, he walked out of the house and headed towards the storeroom.
When Wu Daoyi saw the wide-open warehouse door and the empty interior, he was shocked, angry, and furious. His blood rushed to his head, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
"Patriarch, Patriarch!" Wu Daming followed behind Wu Daoyi, hurrying all the way. As soon as he looked up, he saw Wu Daoyi's unconscious figure and immediately called out anxiously.
"Quickly, go and fetch the royal physician!"
After Wu Daming finished speaking, he and the guards quickly helped Wu Daoyi up and took him to the room closest to the storeroom to wait for the imperial physician to arrive.
When the elderly physician was dragged over by the servant, Wu Daoyi's face was already quite pale.
The physician quickly administered acupuncture to save Wu Daoyi. After several needles were inserted, Wu Daoyi's complexion improved slightly, while the physician was already drenched in sweat.
"Physician, what's wrong with the patriarch?" Wu Daming asked anxiously.
The physician wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve before saying with a helpless expression, "The patriarch has suffered a stroke, but fortunately it is relatively mild and the treatment was timely."
Next, I gave him acupuncture every day, along with the medicine I prescribed. He should recover to 99% without any problem.
However, you absolutely must never get angry again, otherwise, if it gets serious, even a miracle worker couldn't help you.
Wu Daming nodded repeatedly, then urged the physician to quickly prepare and brew the medicine, while he stood faithfully by Wu Daoyi's side, waiting for him to wake up.
Therefore, when Wu Daoyi opened his eyes, he saw Wu Daming's big face full of concern.
What's wrong with me?
After Wu Daoyi finished speaking, he tried to touch his slightly throbbing head with his right hand, but no matter how he moved, his right hand remained still and did not make any subtle movements.
A look of fear appeared on Wu Daoyi's face. He cried out anxiously, "Da Ming, quick, call the imperial physician over for me! I can't move my right hand!"
Wu Daming was also taken aback when he heard this, and immediately ordered his servant to call the family physician over.
After another series of consultations, the physician's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he kept muttering to himself.
"Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. I immediately used acupuncture to control the patriarch's condition, so there shouldn't be such a sequela."
Wu Daoyi's face grew increasingly grim, and he said coldly, "If you can't cure this hand, then you have no reason to live in this world."
The physician wiped the sweat from his face and nodded hurriedly. He then turned and began to needle several acupoints on Wu Daoyi's body. This was the most ruthless method he would not use lightly.
Because the recipient may not be able to withstand the side effects after the injection, but Wu Daoyi has already said so, so why does he care about Wu Daoyi's future health?
Let's save our own lives first!
After the physician quickly inserted a few needles, Wu Daoyi felt his hand slowly regain feeling. He was quite happy and said to the physician.
"Dr. Liu, your medical skills have indeed not disappointed me. You are the number one doctor in the capital."
The physician almost rolled his eyes at him, but after suppressing his dissatisfaction, he said humbly.
"Master, you flatter me. My medical skills are still inferior to those of the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital."
After seeing the physician off, Wu Daoyi leaned against the bed with a puzzled expression. He said softly, "Da Ming, what kind of person could steal an entire storeroom so quietly? Could there be a traitor within our household?"
Upon seeing Wu Daoyi's expression, Wu Daming knew that the patriarch suspected him. In an instant, he knelt on the ground and pledged his loyalty.
"Master, your loyalty to me is as clear as day and I have no intention of betraying you. Please see this clearly, Master."
"Furthermore, I have an idea. The storeroom contains a vast quantity of goods; it would be difficult for an ordinary person to take them all out. We could send guards to search each room; perhaps we can find something."
After thinking for a while, Wu Daoyi nodded, "Let's do it your way."
Wu Daming immediately called to the guards at the door and relayed the message to them. After the guards left, he whispered something to them.
"Master, I actually have another guess, but I don't know if I should say it."
Wu Daoyi casually waved his hand, "Go ahead and say it, it won't get any worse than it is now anyway."
Wu Daming whispered, "Master, do you still remember the man in black who saw you with the Imperial Concubine that day?"
My subordinates were wondering why the Fifth Prince, having found such a big handle against him, didn't expose it directly.
Looking back now, he was actually using a ruse. The man in black ostensibly came to gather information, but in reality, he was there to find out the location of our warehouse.
Wu Daoyi instantly understood his unspoken meaning: "You mean to say that Lei Tingjun sent people to steal this warehouse?"
As Wu Daming spoke, he felt his guess made more and more sense, so he immediately nodded heavily.
“That’s right. We all noticed that the man in black was extremely skilled in martial arts that day. If he hadn’t shown himself, the guards in the manor wouldn’t have noticed him at all.”
Wu Daoyi also felt that Wu Daming's words made some sense. If they couldn't find any clues in the mansion in a while, then they could pinpoint the thief to Lei Tingjun.
Thinking of this, Wu Daoyi's murderous intent grew stronger; he would kill Lei Tingjun sooner or later!
Meanwhile, Lei Tingjun, who was still recovering from his leg injury at the Fifth Prince's residence, was secretly framed by Xu Jinhuan with several false accusations, laying a solid foundation for the tumultuous life that followed.
Xu Jinhuan, who had been watching the spectacle, happily left the Wu residence after seeing that Wu Daoyi had completely regarded Lei Tingjun as a lifelong obstacle.
