In the Imperial Medical Bureau, just a few hours earlier, an enraged Wang Erhu lunged forward, disregarding everything as he thrust his knife out. Su Han, who had been keeping a close watch on him, quickly sidestepped as he noticed a slight movement in Wang's shoulder.
The dagger still managed to graze his shoulder, and blood gushed forth in an instant. Zhou Meng and the others were stunned, while Zhao Fu stood there, dumbfounded.
One could belittle these Royal Confidential Office's shadow guards and even humiliate them, but to dare to injure them? That was crossing a line! Blood had been drawn! This was escalating!
Fortunately, although the dagger had penetrated deeply and the wound looked alarming, it hadn't struck any vital arteries. With a month or so of care, Su Han would likely regain full mobility in his left arm.
“How is the cargo?” Su Han asked, wincing as he moved slightly, causing a sharp pain to shoot through his wound, making his lips twitch.
“Lao Zhou and the others are on guard; reinforcements have also arrived,” came the reply.
“What about Wang Erhu?”
“He has been subdued.”
“And Zhao Fu?”
“He fled. Seeing Wang Erhu injure you, he took the opportunity to slip away.”
A faint smile appeared on Su Han's face. Observing Su Han's injury, Su Yao, who was tending to him, looked distressed. “Captain Su, what exactly did you say to Wang Erhu to make him so furious?”
"I?" Su Han said with a serious expression. "I merely mentioned that I was on official business and asked him to cooperate. Who would have thought his temper would be so volatile?"
Really?
Why was Su Yao so disbelieving?
Su Han naturally wouldn’t tell Su Yao that he had whispered three words into Wang Erhu's ear: "Today, while you are away, I will spend the night with your wife, Cui Lian. She is quite gentle and lovely!"
If someone claimed to have slept with your wife, accurately stating that you were not home today and even naming her, how would you react?
Any man with a shred of dignity would find it intolerable.
Moreover, Wang Erhu was known for his frequent brawls and fiery temper.
Without a second thought, he furiously raised his knife and lunged at Su Han.
Little did he know that he had encountered a master who was skilled at reading people's hearts.
Every detail about him was analyzed clearly by this master.
As for how Su Han knew that Wang Erhu's wife was named Cui Lian, it was thanks to Zhou Meng's words when he invited him for a bath.
"In our Tiandu, there are customs in some places. In our line of work, which is dangerous, wives often embroider a sachet for their husbands to carry. Inside they put a lock of their hair, and on the outside, they stitch their names, hoping to ward off disasters and seek safety."
Su Han had seen the character "Lian" on the sachet that Wang Erhu revealed.
Regardless of what Wang Erhu's wife's full name was, calling her Cui Lian could never be wrong!
Xu Deshan was arrogant and looked down on Su Han completely. In his Trading Company, Su Han suffered great humiliation.
However, Xu Deshan had extensive connections, protected by officials in the court and the Qing Gang's influence. This grudge was indeed difficult to repay.
Moreover, the key issue was that Su Han had no solid evidence.
Chu Feng would likely have to think twice as well.
Su Han could only take risks.
And he succeeded.
The people from a Trading Company not only smuggled weapons but also openly attacked the dark guards from the Royal Confidential Office who came to inspect them. This was simply lawless behavior.
When it came time to investigate Xu Deshan thoroughly, Ma Chao had nothing to say.
Even if this matter reached Your Majesty, Chu Feng would still feel justified.
At that moment, hurried footsteps echoed from outside, and the door was pushed open. Two shadow guards entered and whispered to Su Yao, "Leave."
Su Han nodded at her, and Su Yao quickly exited the sickroom.
Before long, someone walked into the room: it was none other than Chu Feng!
