Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Doctor Shen, who was about to enter the central room, stopped in confusion. He stopped at the entrance and asked, “Where are your children? Why are they not here?”

“They went out to play, right?” Zhen Dalang smiled.

Zhen Dalang’s wife was even more flustered, but she agreed, “I-I think they went out to play.”

Zhen Dalang had gone to Pingan Town to look for him. His wife was at home taking care of her mother-in-law and children. How could she not know if the children had gone out to play?

Doctor Shen frowned.

Da Yong had no issue shouting in front of strangers. He shouted, “Are you lying?! No one is sick here!”

When Zhen Dalang heard this, he knelt down in front of Doctor Shen with a thump. He cried, “I’m sorry. I just couldn’t do it! I… I didn’t mean to. Some bad people captured my mother and my children. They made me trick you into coming here. I had no choice! I deserve to die! Kill me!”

Before he could finish his sentence, three men with swords and knives came out of the room. Before Da Yong could say anything, they had already placed their knives on Da Yong’s neck.

Doctor Shen also had a knife on his neck.

“Ah!” Seeing this situation, Zhen Dalang was even more regretful and dropped to Doctor Shen’s knees.

Zhen Dalang’s wife was also so ashamed that she dropped to Doctor Shen’s knees until her head was bleeding.

“Quickly, help your wife up. I don’t blame you.” Doctor Shen consoled the two.

“Doctor…” Zhen Dalang cried even harder.

“Who are you?” Doctor Shen asked the three men. “Why did you lure me here?”

The three men were sent by General Duan Huai, who was in charge of guarding the North. They had come long ago, but there were too many people watching them in Xinyuan County. If they went in rashly, they would be discovered. Therefore, they did not dare to enter Xinyuan County and did not dare step foot in Pingan Town. Fortunately, after careful inquiry, they found out that Zhen Dalang’s family had some relationship with Doctor Shen. That was why they came to Zhen Dalang’s house, kidnapped his mother and child, and threatened Zhen Dalang to trick Doctor Shen into coming here.

Now that Doctor Shen had been tricked into coming, Doctor Shen would be brought back to report to their Great General.

The man with the largest sword was the leader of the three.

The other two had knives. They were either holding Da Yong’s neck or Doctor Shen’s neck.

They refused to say who they were.

The man holding the sword cupped his fists at Doctor Shen and said politely, “Doctor Shen, we had no choice. You need to follow us to take a look at a patient.”

Doctor Shen had experienced many things in life. He could also recognize the accent. Seeing that this man had an accent from the Changyu area, he did not show that he recognized the accent. He only calmly said, ” You mean that as long as I follow you to see the patient, you will let the Zhen family and my servant go?”

“Of course.” the sword-wielding man said. “You can ask Zhen Dalang if we did anything to them other than tying his mother and child up in the room and not allowing them to speak.” The Great General had only sent them to bring Doctor Shen back. He did not say to murder anyone, nor make anyone suffer. The only requirement was to bring Doctor Shen back in one piece. There was no other meaning, and they were not villains.

Doctor Shen looked at Zhen Dalang with kindness.
