Chapter 324: Pierced Through His Chest

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

There were pros and cons to taking Pharmacist Yin away with him.

If he took Pharmacist Yin with him, he would greatly help his master and would be able to enjoy prosperous days soon.

However, Pharmacist Yin knew nothing aside from his medical knowledge.

He would be burdened by Pharmacist Yin, especially since there was no secret passage in the courtyard. Leaving would be a problem.

After much consideration, he finally made a shocking decision…

…

Soon, there was a signal.

Er Ning and Ge Li’s men had already gathered. They were about to attack when they saw the signal flare.

They immediately instructed their men to surround the residence. Dozens of people rushed in.

The villagers living in the area were not alarmed. The 10th Stockaded Village was best at fighting secretly and capturing people calmly. Among them, Er Ning and Ge Li’s subordinates were the best at doing so.

However, when they arrived at the courtyard and saw piles of corpses on the ground, they were horrified.

“Give chase quickly! Someone escaped!”

The man who had been pretending to be a captured villager raised his hand weakly and pointed in a direction when he saw his companions rush in.

He did not expect them to harm their own people instead of resisting and breaking free from the siege when they realized they were surrounded.

Fortunately, he reacted in time and prevented that person from killing the villagers in the room.

However, the people who were poisoned were already dead.

“Stay here. I’ll chase after them,” Er Ning immediately instructed Ge Li and gave chase in the direction the man pointed.

“Search the entire residence,” Ge Li instructed his men as he watched Er Ning leave with his men.

With everyone dead, it saved them some trouble, but it also showed how ruthless and decisive the other party was.

How could they do this to their own people?

Ge Li looked at the man and saw that he was grasping his chest with one hand. Crimson blood flowed down continuously.

He frowned and asked, “How are you? Can you hang in there?”

“Don’t worry, Chief Ge. It’s only a flesh wound. That’s Pharmacist Yin’s room. I didn’t see anyone escape with him.”

Ge Li immediately gestured to the people around him.

They followed his instructions and went to the room the man pointed to. Kicking the door open, they discovered Pharmacist Yin lying in a pool of blood.

He was not dead, but his chest had been pierced through. With such severe injuries, it was clear that he would not survive.

“You… save… save…”

Pharmacist Yin twitched uncontrollably. His eyes were filled with pain and hope when he saw someone enter.

He never expected to die at the hands of the person he trusted the most one day. Young Master Tan stabbed him in the back and gave him no chance to react.

He was a pharmacist and consumed a lot of medicine to strengthen his body. He would not die so quickly.

If it were anyone else, they would have died long ago.

“Save you?” The men laughed at his broken speech.

If not for the fact that he was about to die, they would have stabbed him again. Why would they save him?

“Search thoroughly. Destroy all the poison,” Ge Li instructed.

“Yes.”

His subordinates obeyed and approached the long table.
