"Got it."
Lu Xiao's voice sounded even deeper and colder than before.
"I'll investigate this. The lead you provided is very important. Thank you."
Doctor Wang didn't seem to notice the shift in Lu Xiao's mood. Hearing this, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Captain Lu, I'll have to trouble you with this, then."
"She is my wife. This is my responsibility."
'What did he mean by that?'
'Trouble him? Su Tang is his wife. If it wasn't his problem, should it be this Doctor Wang's?'
The feeling of discomfort in Lu Xiao's heart grew more pronounced. He stood up, the intention to see his guest out perfectly clear.
Doctor Wang knew it was time to leave. After a few more words, he departed, his expression full of worry.
Lu Xiao stood in the courtyard, staring at the apples on the stone table, his brow deeply furrowed.
Shaking off the strange thoughts in his head, Lu Xiao considered that the man Doctor Wang described matched the lead about the source of the poisonous herbs.
