The Double

Chapter 632: Chapter 189: Seeking Help

In the Jiang Residence, a complete mess was unfolding at this moment.

Tonger had been brought back to the residence, that one stab from the assassin was indeed horrendous. A doctor came to redress her wounds and prescribed medicine, the kitchen was busy brewing the concoction.

Jiang Yuanbai had already gone out to find government officers to thoroughly investigate Yanjing City. When Madam Jiang the Elder heard the news, she fainted on the spot. Lady Lu was busy taking care of Madam Jiang the Elder, and Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou were ordered not to leave the residence. The whole Yanjing City was in a state of panic, as seemingly random acts of murder by a ruthless killer looked like a conspiracy. The emperor was also informed about the incident and flew into a rage, ordering his officials to locate the murderer at all costs.

At this time, no one was paying attention to Bai Xue.

Bai Xue sat helplessly beside Tonger’s bed, unsure of what to do. After she had taken Tonger back to the residence, Bai Xue, unwilling to give up, searched the street multiple times and even checked all the shops along the street to no avail.

She was certain that she had lost Jiang Li, and was riddled with self-blame. Many were surprised when Jiang Li first kept Bai Xue by her side. Bai Xue was not pretty, nor was she eloquent, but her strength was notable. She thought her physical strength would be enough to protect Jiang Li, but Bai Xue realized when real danger came, she couldn’t protect Jiang Li at all. She couldn’t even outmatch the slight Tonger who, at least, had managed to block a stab for Jiang Li.

She should have run away with Jiang Li. If the assassin caught up, she could have taken the stab for her, which would have been better than the current scenario of Jiang Li missing and whereabouts unknown.

Caught up in these thoughts, the person in the bed stirred, and Tonger slowly came to.
