The shopkeeper glanced down at Jiang Bai on the ground and said in a sinister voice, "You little brat think you can ruin my plans? You're overestimating yourself."
Immediately, several people rushed out of the house next door, tied Jiang Bai up, and dragged him away.
Zhao Yi kept observing the situation outside the pharmacy. He couldn't go inside, so he could only wait outside.
He waited for a while, but Jiang Bai didn't come out.
Dusk descended from all directions, and the sky darkened. Lanterns were gradually lit on the streets. Zhao Yi stood in the shadows, looking in the direction of the herbal medicine shop, his face cold and stern.
Why does it take so long to count the medicinal herbs? But it's already dark and Jiang Bai still hasn't come out.
Nine times out of ten, something bad has happened...
How dare they touch his wife right under his nose?
As night deepened, the night watchmen on the street struck their gongs, one after another.
The eaves of the houses undulated in the night, and someone crouched down and walked lightly into the backyard of the herbal medicine shop.
Zhao Yi sent people ahead to scout out the layout of the herbal medicine shops, exploring each location as a possible place to imprison people.
The courtyard wasn't large, and they could quickly search it all, but they couldn't find any trace of Jiang Bai.
He finally crept into the medicine storeroom, where a medicinal fragrance filled the air.
This is the largest part of the entire pharmacy, and also the place with the most items, making it suitable for Tibetans.
Zhao Yi searched the inside inch by inch, but still couldn't find any trace of Jiang Bai.
He walked to the innermost medicine shelf, where there were few medicines piled up and a thin layer of dust had settled on the shelf.
However, one shelf was exceptionally clean; behind it, on the ground, several messy footprints could be vaguely seen.
This tiny pharmacy actually has a basement? Zhao Yi couldn't hide his surprise.
He frowned, reached out to the compartment where a small medicine box was placed. With a gentle twist, a crisp click was heard.
Sure enough, there was a hidden door behind the medicine cabinet, and the door was slowly opening.
Jiang Bai might be imprisoned here.
He held his breath and watched the door slowly open, but then he heard footsteps outside the warehouse.
Someone's coming...
He glanced at the hidden door, which was only slightly ajar; the crack was so narrow that even an arm couldn't fit through it.
The footsteps outside the warehouse grew closer and closer, until they reached the door in the blink of an eye.
But the hidden door only opened to about half a person's width after a long time. Zhao Yi gritted his teeth and stuck out one leg, intending to squeeze through.
In any case, Jiang Bai is most likely inside. If he misses this opportunity, it will be very difficult for him to find her again.
"You dare to trespass on our territory? You've got some nerve!"
However, the gap was too narrow, and the people outside the warehouse had already quickly found the hidden door.
Seeing this, the guard drew his knife and slashed at Zhao Yi on the gate.
With no other choice, Zhao Yi could only turn around and jump out of the door.
The gleaming blade slashed several times, and soon the area was surrounded by men in black.
These were all guards at the pharmacy, but Zhao Yi felt that the one in question didn't look like one.
These people were far more skilled in martial arts than the guards hired by ordinary families, and their martial arts style was more like that of assassins who specialized in killing.
Who exactly is the mastermind behind this pharmacy?
Zhao Yi couldn't help but become suspicious of the person behind this. He took a few steps back, but was surrounded by those people and couldn't escape.
The space here is too small, and he can't find a way to break through.
Soon, he had several cuts on his body, and the hidden door was closed by those people again.
A flash of cold light landed directly on his shoulder, the cut was deep, and it made him tremble all over.
I'm afraid we won't be able to get through that secret door today.
After a fierce battle, he managed to escape through a breakthrough.
He had several cuts on his body and could only run around the courtyard in a sorry state.
Just then, another group of people entered the courtyard, led by the owner of the pharmacy.
"What a refined taste you have, coming to look for medicine in the middle of the night. You don't go through the front door or the back door, but prefer to climb over this wall. I admire you greatly."
He looked very happy and waved behind him, and the people immediately surrounded Zhao Yi again.
It seems these people were prepared; they probably suspected Jiang Bai the first time he entered the pharmacy.
Zhao Yi pursed his lips, his gaze towards the shopkeeper quite fierce.
"My wife came to your shop to pick up medicine during the day, but she didn't return until late at night, so I came to look for her. Shopkeeper, can you tell me where my wife is hiding?"
The shopkeeper trembled at his gaze, then shook his obese body and sneered, "Your wife went home a long time ago, we didn't know. But you broke into a private residence at night, which is something you shouldn't have done. All of you, get him and arrest him!"
Those people immediately swarmed forward, but they were aiming to kill Zhao Yi.
He quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, and his body was covered in cuts. At the critical moment, a long, sharp whistle suddenly rang out from above the wall.
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, but then one of them jumped down from the wall and entered the encirclement in a few steps, pulling Zhao Yi inside and flying out of the courtyard.
The man's lightness skill was so amazing that everyone present was extremely surprised.
"Chase after him!" The shopkeeper dared not let the man escape.
Zhao Yi knew their secret; how could they dare let him escape?
The group of men immediately grabbed their knives and gave chase.
The streets were deserted late at night. The man led Zhao Yi through the houses and soon shook off the others.
Inside the herbal medicine shop, Jiang Bai had already woken up, his body tightly bound.
She heard Zhao Yi open the door just now, but her mouth was covered by these people and she couldn't make a sound.
There was another person standing guard beside her. She glared at that person fiercely, but he didn't react at all.
Once the door was closed again, she could no longer hear any sounds from outside.
The thick stone wall blocked out all sound, and the person looking at her spoke: "You don't need to struggle. The people who came to save you today will all die here. From the first day you came here to buy medicine, we began to suspect you, and that's why we set this up."
Jiang Bai bit down on the gag in his mouth, but his gaze gradually calmed down. He stopped looking at the person and simply closed his eyes.
"Our plan has been in the works for a long time. How could we allow some overconfident people like you to disrupt it? Enjoy your last moments."
After the man finished speaking, seeing that Jiang Bai had stopped making a fuss, he sneered and turned to leave the secret room.
Jiang Bai opened his eyes behind him, watched him leave, and gradually fell into deep thought.
It's unknown how much more is involved in this case, but if she doesn't leave, the people in the village won't get the medicine they need and will soon die.
I don't know if Zhao Yi can escape now. I hope he returns safely and that nothing bad happens to him.
