Xiao Yifei also wasn't in a hurry; he quietly waited for Hua Lao's response. After a while, Hua Lao slowly shook his head and said, "I'm not sure; after she disappeared, we also sent people to investigate, but she vanished without a trace as if she evaporated into thin air." Hearing this, Hua Lao couldn't help but frown, seemingly finding Ci Xin's disappearance rather bizarre.

After listening to what Hua Lao said, Xiao Yifei nodded. It seemed that Hua also wasn't clear about what lay behind Ci Xin. Seeing the somewhat disappointed expression on Xiao Yifei's face, Hua Lao couldn't help but ask, "Why, are you investigating Qianxi's mother lately?" Hearing this, Xiao Yifei nodded and didn't lie to Hua Lao.

Seeing this, Hua Lao jokingly said, "If Qianxi knew about this, wouldn't she peel your skin off?" Hearing Hua Lao joke, Xiao Yifei felt a bit awkward, indeed, almost embarrassed. However, Xiao Yifei just awkwardly smiled without saying anything more.

"Sigh, I wonder how Liu Rui is doing?" Hua Lao said worriedly, thinking of Liu Rui, who was staying at Qianxi's house. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei smiled and said, "Although Qianxi has a bad temper, she's still very good to Liu Rui."

Hearing Xiao Yifei say this, Hua Lao also sighed, "That's good to hear." Then, Hua Lao suddenly shifted the topic to Xiao Yifei, "By the way, Xiao Yifei, have you completed everything you need to do here?" Hua Lao asked Xiao Yifei.

Seeing Xiao Yifei thinking, it seemed her purpose for coming to Beijing was to save Liu Rui. Now that he's safe, it seems like there's nothing else she needs to worry about. Suddenly, Xiao Yifei remembered Hua Father and couldn't help but ask Hua Lao about him.

"Oh, you mean Hua No? That kid's doing well recently. He said he didn't want to linger at home living off his family, so he went to work hard at the company." Hua Lao said with a hint of a smile on his face, clearly pleased with Hua Father's ambition.

"What about his leg?" Xiao Yifei was also worried about Hua Father's leg and asked. "Don't worry, he said that after using your medicine, it got a lot better and doesn't affect his life at all." Hua Lao quickly reassured Xiao Yifei, fearing he might worry.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei felt relieved. After a while, he suddenly said, "I wonder how Hua Xiangrong is doing?" Hearing this, Hua Lao laughed mischievously, "Why, do you miss her? Should I pass a message to her?" With that, Hua Lao winked at Xiao Yifei.

Seeing Hua Lao acting like this, Xiao Yifei felt slightly awkward. Hua Lao was still so cheeky even at his age, but it was indeed amusing. "No, Hua Lao, that's not what I meant." Xiao Yifei quickly replied.

Upon seeing this, Hua Lao couldn't help but laugh, "If it's not, then it's not, why act so nervous?" Hua Lao said with a smile looking at Xiao Yifei. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei awkwardly smiled. Then, Hua Lao slowly said, "That Hua Xiangrong kid, insists on doing her job as an inspector; she's probably out on patrol somewhere now."

Hearing that Hua Xiangrong had returned to being an inspector, Xiao Yifei was genuinely happy for her. After all, being able to do what one loves is the most fulfilling thing in life.

"Sigh, if only Qianxi had half of Xiangrong's character," Hua Lao couldn't help but compare, recalling Qianxi's temper. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei helplessly nodded, thinking that if Qianxi had even half of Hua Xiangrong's personality, Liu Rui would undoubtedly be happy to take Qianxi home.

"Sigh, you must be leaving soon too." Hua Lao suddenly said wistfully. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei suddenly realized that when Hua Lao previously asked if he had finished his tasks, it was to find out when he would leave.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yifei realized he had completed everything he needed to do here, and there was no reason not to return. Besides, Tang Rong was still in the hands of those people, and he wasn't entirely at ease about it. Seeing Xiao Yifei not saying anything, Hua Lao smiled and said, "The world is so big, it can't contain you here, and your medical skill is the finest I've seen over the years."

Hua Lao's genuine praise made Xiao Yifei a bit embarrassed, just as he was about to respond, he was suddenly interrupted by a rush of voices.

Listening to the noise, both Hua Lao and Xiao Yifei instinctively looked over to see Qianxi hurriedly dashing into Hua Mansion, constantly shouting Xiao Yifei's name.

Seeing this, Xiao Yifei frowned, sensing an ominous intuition. At this point, Qianxi noticed Hua Lao and Xiao Yifei, and upon seeing Xiao Yifei, she hurried over.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yifei asked quickly, seeing Qianxi's anxious appearance. Hearing this, Qianxi said with a bit of guilt, "Liu Rui, he's in trouble."

"What!?" Hearing that Liu Rui was in trouble, Xiao Yifei stood up from his seat in shock, then questioned, "Didn't you already resolve the inner strength? How could there still be issues?" Hearing Xiao Yifei say this, Qianxi instantly felt like crying and quickly said, "I did resolve his inner strength yesterday, but there was a small accident during the process."

Hearing Qianxi say this, Xiao Yifei sighed and quickly told Hua Lao they were leaving, rushing straight to Liu Rui with Qianxi. Hearing Qianxi and Xiao Yifei's conversation, Hua Lao also guessed what had happened and silently prayed that Liu Rui would be alright, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to explain it to Hu Jingtang.

Qianxi and Xiao Yifei raced all the way to Qianxi's home, and as soon as they entered, Xiao Yifei went straight to Liu Rui's room, where Liu Rui's face was extremely pale, and the dried blood at the corners of his mouth reminded Xiao Yifei that Liu Rui had just vomited blood, an indication of a dire situation.

Seeing this, Xiao Yifei decided to stabilize Liu Rui's injury first. Since it was an internal injury, the most effective methods would be medication and acupuncture. However, Xiao Yifei didn't have the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle at the moment, so he had to resort to ordinary acupuncture to stabilize Liu Rui's condition. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a need for such urgency; just one needle with the Green-eyed Silver Tail would suffice.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Yifei quickly instructed Qianxi to prepare the herbs and needles he mentioned. A short while later, Qianxi brought everything and placed it in front of Xiao Yifei.

At this moment, Qianxi looked extremely worried and guilty because Liu Rui was in this situation because of her, and he was her lover. Hurting him with her own hands, Qianxi couldn't help but begin to regret, regretting why she acted out and said such things when he was injured.

Now Qianxi felt like an unforgivable sinner. "What are you doing standing there? Hurry and help!" Xiao Yifei said to the guilty Qianxi. Hearing this, Qianxi was taken aback, then quickly went over to help Xiao Yifei grind the medicine.

"Now's not the time to be guilty; saving Liu Rui is the priority!" Xiao Yifei used the flame to sterilize the silver needle without looking at Qianxi. Hearing Xiao Yifei say this, Qianxi nodded vigorously, indeed, there was no time for guilt now. With these thoughts in mind, Qianxi's hands couldn't help but speed up as she ground the medicine.

Seeing that Qianxi was fine, Xiao Yifei also focused on doing his work. Once everything was ready, Xiao Yifei slowly took off Liu Rui's clothes, revealing his bruised and battered body as if he had been beaten. However, all these bruises were caused by Qianxi's inner strength.
