"No, we have a rule that only doctors are allowed out at night. No one else, whether they're delivering meals or cleaning, is allowed out." Shun Hai sneered, "If you come out at this time, you'll be treated as someone with bad intentions."
"People who sneak in are very careful. Once they are discovered, they will be... I don't know where those doctors send them to, but they will never be found again." Having said this, he thanked again with lingering fear.
Lu Yunxi chatted with Shunhai and finally understood his purpose.
Shunhai is indeed a son of a wealthy family, but he is the child of the original wife. After the second wife came into the family, his status became somewhat awkward.
The grandparents and father in the family prefer the children of the second wife.
Shunhai himself usually studies in the academy and doesn't care whether his family cares about him or not. However, he has a younger sister who is born to the same mother but has to live under the care of his stepmother.
At first, he didn't pay any attention to the secrets of the inner house until he returned home one day and found that his sister was always hiding in the house crying, then he realized something was wrong.
"My sister's clothes are too short and worn out, and the food and tea in the house are all cold... After I punished a few servants, her life finally got better." At this point, Shunhai's eyes became angry, as if burning with flames. "But this time I went to the academy, and when I came back, she was gone!"
"My family said that he accidentally got lost while going out to burn incense!" Shunhai's tone was so gloomy that it seemed to freeze.
When a girl from a wealthy family goes out, she'll always bring at least seven or eight people with her. How could she get lost so easily?! Even if she wasn't guarded, she still had maids and servants. How could she suddenly disappear?!
"I searched for a long time before I found a little information. I heard that my sister was sent to this mental hospital." Shun Hai lowered his head, and his expression could not be seen clearly. "I sent people to take my sister back, but after asking several times, they said she was not there! But my subordinates were left to me by my mother, and they are all very capable. It is unlikely that the information I found would be wrong... I had no choice but to sneak in."
Lu Yunxi was a little impressed.
A weak scholar, for the sake of his sister, personally sneaked into such a dangerous place to look for someone.
From what she saw, he was often beaten and kicked by the people here.
If it weren't for their strong willpower, most people would have collapsed in such an environment.
"Did you find any clues?"
Shun Hai shook his head, a hint of bitterness flashing in his eyes. "I've been searching for a long time, but I still haven't found any clues about my sister... But I've noticed that every once in a while, a few people sent to the mental hospital, including the staff, disappear. However, because the disappearances are so rare, few people notice."
At this point, his eyes lit up, and he said with hope: "I think this matter may be useful news."
Lu Yunxi nodded and narrowed her eyes. "You're right. A living person suddenly disappears, or disappears every once in a while. This is too strange."
