“No problems,” Hai Zhe answered truthfully. “Xing will go to the art institution at 3 pm every day and stay there for an hour. She will come out at around 4 pm. I’ve checked that shop too. It’s an old shop. There’s no problem.”

Fu Sen nodded. “That’s good. Is there any news about the healer?”

“Not yet.” Hai Zhe shook his head.

When Fu Sen looked at Song Zhi, Song Zhi shook his head helplessly and said, “There’s still no news of my senior.”

“Why don’t we look for Zhou Cha again? Maybe she has a solution,” Song Zhi suggested.

“I’ve already asked. She said that she’s not confident yet, so she’ll take it slow. I asked her about the condition, but she was always vague and didn’t say anything specific.” Fu Sen’s eyes were thoughtful. “I suspect that it wasn’t her who saved Xing at all. Have you found the surveillance cameras in the mall?”

Song Zhi continued to shake his head. “It’s strange. The surveillance footage from that time period are gone. All the backup copies on the computers and cameras disappeared. Someone must have done it on purpose. I just don’t know why.”

The phone vibrated slightly. Fu Sen picked it up and a voice came from the other end of the phone — they found the place where they had lost Miss Zhou the past few days. It was Deer City Mall. She disappeared around two to four o’clock and then reappeared.

Fu Sen frowned. For the past few days, Xing had been showing up at the art studio at Deer City Mall at three o’clock sharp and leaving at four o’clock.

Zhou Yun would shake off the people who had been following her at two o’clock every day, then disappear for two hours and reappear around four o’clock.

Zhou Yun and Xing were at the same Deer City Mall. There was an overlap of an hour. If Zhou Yun was really the person who saved Xing that day, could Xing and Zhou Yun have arranged to meet at the mall?

Thinking of this, Fu Sen suddenly remembered that Xing had blurted out the word ‘sister’. So, Xing had met that ‘sister’ recently.

Fu Sen’s well-defined hand gripped the armrest of the wheelchair next to him, and a smile appeared on his face. What a mouse that liked to play hide-and-seek. It actually played tricks right under his nose.

“Let’s go to Deer City Mall.” Fu Sen smiled.

“What are you going there for? Accompany Xing to draw?” Song Zhi asked.

Fu Sen flashed a smile and said excitedly, “To catch a mouse.”

Song Zhi let out a disdainful ‘huh’ and then excitedly pushed Fu Sen to catch the mouse. How could Song Zhi miss out on such a fun thing?

At this moment, Zhou Yun was sweating profusely as she pressed down on Fu Xing, who was struggling violently. She shouted, “Xing, hold on for another ten minutes. After ten minutes, you can recover.”

Although Xing was only a 12-year-old girl, once the pain reached its limit, the full strength she possessed when struggling was difficult to control.

Outside, Auntie Wu was so nervous that her forehead was drenched in sweat. It was the last day, and success depended on this move. She had to trust Miss Zhou and not go in.

Hearing the cries of pain inside, Auntie Wu even covered her ears, not daring to listen.

Finally, the voices in the room gradually weakened. Zhou Yun sat on the ground and looked at Xing, who was on the bed. She praised, “Xing, you’re amazing. You withstood it.”

The gauze on Xing’s face was already soaked with sweat. Her bright eyes were teary as she looked at Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun rested for a while, then said to Xing, “Xing, I’m going to remove the gauze.”

Xing nodded excitedly and said, “Okay!”

As the last piece of gauze was removed, Zhou Yun was not as excited as before. This was because, at this moment, Xing’s face was reddened and bloody, and not as fair as Zhou Yun had predicted.

Zhou Yun’s eyes flashed with doubt. Could it be that her treatment had failed?

At this moment, Auntie Wu suddenly exclaimed from outside, “Young Master, why are you all here?”

Zhou Yun was flabbergasted. She anxiously thought about what had gone wrong while looking nervously at the door.

It wasn’t her style to give up halfway, but if she continued to stay there, she would soon be discovered.

The footsteps were already at the door.

She didn’t hear Miss Zhou’s voice like usual. Auntie Wu quickly stopped Fu Sen and the others and said, “Young Master, Miss is drawing inside. She said that she doesn’t want anyone to disturb her.”

“Move aside!” Fu Sen shouted coldly.

Auntie Wu braced herself and moved to the side. At this moment, a high-pitched scream came from inside the room. Fu Sen and the others’ expressions changed immediately and they kicked the door open.
