NOVPUBShen Roujia frowned, following Xi Lan’s gaze down to her shoes and socks, and suddenly realized something.
“Zhang San! Quickly, go and change your shoes and socks immediately.”
Shen Roujia didn’t even bother to explain anything to Xi Lan. She turned around and went straight into the room, instructing Zhang San to burn the shoes and socks.
As soon as Shen Roujia finished giving these instructions, Liu Ruyi spoke up anxiously, “Jiaojiao said she saw them kill someone over there. They probably killed someone from your Divine Doctor’s Valley. Xi Lan, you should be careful about your own safety.”
Xi Lan’s eyes darkened, “That’s not possible. They’re here for medical treatment; they wouldn’t dare harm anyone here.”
But instead of rushing to investigate, Xi Lan stood still, analyzing the situation.
“I think I understand. I’ll go back and check on our people.”
As Shen Roujia walked outside, she continued, “It’s not certain. I think someone who harmed that person might have sneaked in and could be trying to cause more harm. I’m not sure what danger we’re in, but that black-clad person definitely saw the two of us.”
Liu Ruyi, worried, clutched Shen Roujia’s arm, “You two just went out for a short while, and something like this happens.”
Shen Roujia quickly shook her head, “Sister-in-law, it’s alright. I think if we do a headcount and don’t bring this up on our own, they won’t deliberately cause trouble.”
Liu Ruyi felt strangely reassured by this and said, “Then maybe it will be fine.”
Shen Roujia smiled, “But we still can’t let our guard down.”
Just as she finished speaking, there was another knock on the door.
Everyone tensed up.
Even Xi Lan, who was usually calm, showed a rare moment of panic. “What’s going on?”
But Wei Rui, ever the straightforward one, stood up firmly, “I’ll go check.”
