Rescue 48

  When Mr. He and Shang Zhujun arrived at Hsinchu Academy, it was just the time when school was letting out, and students were leaving in twos and threes.

  "Wu Kai, haven't seen you in a while, today we brothers are going to have a good gathering."

  "Alright, I've been in a good mood lately, so this meal is on me today."

  Wu Kai felt inexplicably better when he saw the Bai family's misfortune, and his mood also became more generous.

  Several rich young masters around him cheered, and the crowd walked out with a whoosh, planning to go to Qingfeng Wine House for a good drink. However, as they walked, it was found that Wu Kai suddenly stopped in his tracks and didn't move.

  Wu Kai?

  Everyone was puzzled and turned to look at Wu Kai, just in time to see him staring at a direction with a frightened expression. They quickly followed his gaze and saw Mr. Shangzhu, instantly standing up straight and politely saying: "Hello, Teacher Shangzhu."

  Mr. Shang looked calmly at everyone and then said to Wu Kai, "Wu Kai, come here, the teacher has something to say to you."

  Wu Kai's eyes flashed momentarily, but he still walked to the side of Mr. Shang Zhu. The others, seeing this situation, looked at Wu Kai with confusion and then left.

  Mr. Shangzhu looked at Wu Kai but didn't say a word, suddenly turning around and walking away.

  An Yan hurriedly followed up, Wu Kai had no choice but to follow closely behind.

  When the three of them stopped in front of the county prison gate, Wu Kei's expression immediately became uncertain. He had originally only speculated that his teacher might have found him for something related to Bai An, but he hadn't expected to be brought here directly.

  Mr. Shangzhu explained the situation to the bailiff, who immediately became polite. Most people in Qingzhu County knew that Mr. Shangzhu was not an ordinary person, with many proud disciples, and it was not good to offend him, so they all showed great respect.

  The first time Anwen walked into an ancient prison, she had only one feeling - darkness.

  Inside, it was as if it had been sealed off, with dim oil lamps lit on the road, and various mournful cries occasionally rising up from beside them. An Yan turned his head to look, and saw that each cell was locked up with many people inside, all of whom were disheveled and dirty, with filth scattered all over the floor. An Yan even saw a mouse jumping happily in the pile of straw in one of the cells, the scene was indescribably eerie and unnatural.

  Her heart sank at the thought, Bai An had been beaten and was injured. Without receiving timely treatment, he was sent to such a dark prison cell, what would be the consequences? She didn't dare think about it now, she urgently wanted to see Bai An and confirm that he was safe and sound.

  Wu Kai looked at the dirty and disordered place with a face full of disgust, thinking maliciously in his heart that Bai An had been beaten so severely and was now in such an environment, this time he would either die or be disabled. In the corner of her eye, An Yan caught Wu Kai's malicious gaze, and suddenly a fire ignited in her heart, with a strong urge to chop Wu Kai into pieces. She suppressed the anger in her chest, and suddenly ran off under the astonished gazes of Wu Kai and Mr. Shang Zhu.

  She couldn't find him in one cell after another, she had to find Bai An as soon as possible.

  The sudden footsteps echoed in the quiet prison cell, as if pounding on the drumbeat of his heart. Wu Kai suddenly felt his heartbeat quicken, and a nameless fear spread throughout his body. It was only then that he began to feel suspicious. Who was this young boy? Among the members of the White family, he hadn't discovered anyone like him. But before he could think clearly, the young boy had already found Bai An.

  An Yan stood at the gate of the prison cell, looking at the scene inside, and couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand to suppress the urge to scream.

  She trembled and stretched out her hand to grasp the big lock of the prison cell, wanting to pull it open, but it was completely ineffective.

  This cell was located in the innermost part, and only Bai An was locked up inside. At this time, Bai An's entire body was lying on the ground, covered in dirt and filth, with many bloodstains on his clothes, including some that were still wet, some that were half-dry, and some that had already congealed into black scabs. The cell was filled with straw, and two or three mice were jumping around, one of which was even jumping back and forth on Bai An's body. This scene caused An Yan's heart to beat violently.

  Shang Zhu also saw this scene and hurriedly ordered the gatekeeper to open the door.

  An Yan rushed in, her hand trembling as she reached out to check White An's nose for any signs of breathing. In that instant when she felt the faint breath, An Yan had an overwhelming urge to cry with joy. Fortunately, fortunately, a blessing in disguise. As long as he was still alive, everything would be alright. She turned to Mr. Shang Zhu and said: "Mr. Shang Zhu, my brother's condition is severe, he needs immediate medical attention."

  Mr. Shang Zhu also saw it and sighed in his heart, he valued this student very much and couldn't bear to see him fall like this. After frowning and thinking for a moment, he said: "Alright, take Bai An to see the doctor now, I'll handle things here, I'll go talk to County Magistrate."

  When he heard this, An Yan's eyes showed a hint of emotion, and he looked deeply at Shang Zhu with gratitude. He nodded his head in gratitude towards Shang Zhu, then struggled to help Bai An up and walked out. Wu Kai saw this and hastily said: "Teacher, it can't be like this, it won't look good when reporting back to County Magistrate."

  When Wu Kei spoke, his eyes were fixed on An Yan. And An Yan also turned around to look at him when Wu Kei finished speaking, her usually elegant and refined eyes were now dull and unclear. She looked very seriously at the rich young master in front of her who was handsome and refined on the outside but despicable and venomous on the inside, carefully memorizing his appearance, afraid that she would forget it. Wu Kei felt uneasy under An Yan's gaze, and unconsciously avoided eye contact with a hint of guilt.

  It was only in the split second that he immediately reacted, why he would be afraid of this young boy. So, he immediately raised his head to glare back, but only managed to see the boy's back disappear around the corner.

  At this moment, An Xuan didn't think about how Master Zhu would persuade the county magistrate to stop intervening in this matter. Her mind was now completely focused on Bai An's weak breathing. She supported Bai An and stumbled to a nearby medical clinic, asking the doctor to come and diagnose him urgently.

  During the doctor's treatment of Bai An, An Yan asked someone from Lüzhú Village who happened to be in town for the fair to go back and spread the news. She herself stayed on to take care of Bai An.

  "This young master, due to not receiving timely treatment after being injured, now has a festering and rotten wound, which is quite troublesome to deal with. Judging from the current situation, he may start running a fever tonight, whether or not he can recover depends on whether he can get through these two days."

  The doctor looked at An Yan and said cautiously.

  She listened to the doctor's words, furrowed her brow, and hastily went forward to grab Bai An's hand. Secretly, she quietly took his pulse. The result was indeed as the doctor had said, Bai An's current situation was very bad. She was anxious in her heart, but now that the situation was critical, she couldn't think of a better solution. For now, all she could do was wait and see what prescription the doctor would write. The doctor found Bai An's illness to be quite tricky, and when prescribing medicine, he also carefully considered it for a while.

  An Yan held the prescription in her hand, carefully read it through, and found that several of the medicinal materials used were overly conservative. In this way, although the medicine was mild, it would not have a significant therapeutic effect on Bai An's current condition. She furrowed her good-looking eyebrows, thinking about how to modify the prescription.
