Chapter 356 The Mad Young Master 17 (1/2)

Chapter 356 The Mad Young Master 17 "Young Madam, things are not peaceful outside these days. Please come back as soon as you are done."

But before she left, she still gave one more reminder.

The main problem is that the young master is quite attached to the young mistress; he'll ask about her if he can't see her.

Zi Xi nodded in agreement.

Her real purpose was to go to the renowned Jishetang Pharmacy in the west of the city to get some medicinal herbs from the Lu family pharmacy that were not of the quality she required.

The adoptive mother's condition requires surgery, but she will also need to be nourished with medicinal food after the surgery.

The street where Jishetang is located has the unique atmosphere of the old city, which is completely different from the Lu family's seemingly secluded mansion.

The air was filled with the bitter yet comforting aroma of various medicinal herbs.

Zi Xi carefully selected and deliberated, and consulted the senior doctor in the clinic with a few questions before wrapping up the necessary medicinal herbs and carefully placing them into her canvas bag.

It was already afternoon when we returned.

Because the housekeeper, Li, was urging them on the phone, the Lu family's driver chose a relatively quiet shortcut that would allow them to return to the Lu family's old residence more quickly.

However, just as the car was about to turn into the last tree-lined road leading to the Lu family's old residence, something unexpected happened.

A dilapidated van that was parked on the side of the road suddenly accelerated without warning.

A savage headbutt blocked the way, standing directly in the middle of the road.

The Lu family's driver reacted extremely quickly, slamming on the brakes, the tires screeching as they rubbed against the ground.

Zixi, inside the car, was thrown forward violently due to inertia.

Before the driver could even offer any words of comfort, another engine roared from behind, and another silver-gray sedan arrived, blocking their escape route.

They were sandwiched between the front and rear, completely trapping their vehicle in the middle.

"Young Madam, you stay in the car!"

The driver's expression changed drastically. He immediately locked the car doors and called the old house.

The doors of the van and the sedan were flung open simultaneously, and seven or eight burly men with fierce faces, dressed in mottled clothes, jumped out.

They moved swiftly and with a clear objective, silently surrounding the car.

Two of them were holding heavy wrenches and were about to smash the car window without saying a word.

With a crash, the tempered glass shattered, shards flying everywhere.

The other side was clearly prepared, and the weapons they used were all designed to target tempered glass.

Someone reached in through the broken car window, grabbed the driver by the collar, and punched him hard in the temple, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Zi Xi realized the danger the moment the car was stopped.

Her heart skipped a beat, but the composure she had developed in the Su family kept her from panicking.

She immediately clutched the cloth bag containing the medicinal herbs tightly to her chest.

His other hand silently reached into the old cloth bag he carried with him, which contained silver needles and small tools.

As the assailant smashed the glass and reached in to open the car door, she seized the opportunity and, the instant his thick arm reached in, precisely and ruthlessly pierced the Quchi acupoint on his arm.

The burly man let out a shrill scream, his entire arm instantly went numb and limp with excruciating pain as if he had been electrocuted, and his face was filled with agony.

Taking advantage of the moment, Zi Xi suddenly pushed open the other car door, trying to break free.
