Xuan Feng clasped his hands together and bowed slightly, "Nothing can be hidden from the Eldest Miss."
Bai Xi said faintly, "Speak."
Xuan Feng hesitated for a moment and said faintly, "Eldest Miss, your subordinate has something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."
Bai Xi: "In my memory, you weren't one to get caught up in indecision."
Xuan Feng finally spoke, "Eldest Miss, I can see that Doctor Han treats you very well, but I am very suspicious of his identity."
His senses were sharp, and his ability to perceive clearly was not bad. He could also feel that the Eldest Miss must be a very special existence to Han Mo. This was something that couldn't be faked with mere pretense.
But... his skills made him have to be suspicious.
Bai Xi said faintly, "Why did you suddenly think this way?"
Xuan Feng recounted the events at the ancient tomb and the recent incident to Bai Xi in detail: "In the entire Shadow Division, only three people have faster reactions and speed than me. Eldest Miss, I specifically retrieved the information Shen Mingxun had previously investigated about Han Mo. How could an ordinary doctor possess such skills?"
Bai Xi frowned slightly.
In fact, she had seen Han Mo's skills before, and for a doctor, such skills and reaction speed were indeed astonishing. But connecting it with Xuan Feng's words today... Han Mo's speed was probably even more remarkable than she had imagined.
At the hospital, he had caught her brother the moment he fell.
At that time, she thought he was her brother's attending physician, but later learned it was that bald man. She then thought he might have been doing his rounds and happened to be in her brother's ward, but now it seemed... his speed and skills were inherently good.
Xuan Feng hesitated, his gaze sharp and cold, "Eldest Miss, although he has been by your side these past few days and has never done anything to harm you, such a person who hides their true identity must have some unspeakable secrets. How can such a dangerous person be kept by your side!"
Bai Xi hesitated for a second and said faintly, "Xuan Feng, I trust him."
Xuan Feng was slightly stunned and looked at Bai Xi, his eyes filled with a trace of solemnity.
In this world, the most unclear and indescribable thing is love.
Even though the Eldest Miss was his supreme hero, she too could not escape the trials of love.
If it were in the past, how could the Eldest Miss have let such a person get close to her, let alone have such an intimate relationship.
Bai Xi said faintly, "Do you suddenly feel that I am a hopeless love-struck fool? A bit disappointed?"
Xuan Feng said faintly, "Your subordinate dares not."
Bai Xi: "Among all the members of the Shadow Division, although you haven't been by my side the longest, you are the one I trust the most. Regarding Han Mo, I actually suspected his identity a long time ago."
She had suspected it when she saw his overly clean resume.
Later, she also noticed his deliberate attempts to hide his thoughts and emotions, and that he was always trying hard to restrain himself. She didn't even know what he was restraining himself from.
It was just that later, she carefully considered a few questions.
What did Han Mo want by approaching her? For what reason?
If it was for money?
She had given him a large sum of money on a card, and even deliberately showed off her wealth in front of him, but he hadn't shown any unusual emotions. His words never mentioned money from beginning to end.
Later, she learned about his superb medical skills.
With his abilities, it would be easy to make money.
If he was a spy from another country, or even an assassin from an outer region, sent to take her life.
Then he had several opportunities to strike before, when she was poisoned at the Tong family, and when she was bewitched by the Ghost Entwined Vine in the ancient tomb... these were all once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
But he didn't, and even helped her and saved her.
If he was after the Shadow Division.
He wanted to use her to gather information about the Shadow Division, to strike the entire Shadow Division, and to gain the help of the Shadow Division.
But whenever she contacted the Shadow Division, Han Mo would quietly step away and never mentioned anything about the Shadow Division to her.
A person who deliberately approaches another person must have a motive.
So... what exactly did he want?
Even now, she didn't know.
One should not harbor malicious intentions, but one must guard against them.
Since there was no evidence, she had no interest in gratuitously speculating and inexplicably convicting Han Mo, otherwise, what difference would that make from someone spreading rumors.
Thinking of this, Bai Xi said faintly, "I am not love-struck, but I have a new guess about his identity."
Xuan Feng didn't quite understand what Bai Xi had said or how she thought. However, since Bai Xi herself was aware of these matters, he, as her subordinate, naturally trusted her judgment and obeyed her orders.
Bai Xi looked at Xuan Feng faintly and said, "Extend your hand."
Xuan Feng readily extended his right hand.
Bai Xi took out a dagger and gently made a small cut on Xuan Feng's right middle finger. Bright red blood instantly gushed out, and a drop of blood congealed on his fingertip, slowly dripping down.
The moment the blood drop fell, Bai Xi raised her hand slightly, accurately letting the blood drop onto her Blood Jade Bracelet.
The ruby-red blood drop touched the smooth jade bracelet, rolled down slowly, and finally dripped onto the ground.
Bai Xi watched this scene, her expression very calm.
Because all of this was within her expectations.
Xuan Feng didn't understand what Bai Xi was doing, but he knew that he had said what he needed to say and done what he needed to do: "Does Eldest Miss have any other instructions?"
Bai Xi shook her head slightly, "That's all. You may withdraw."
Xuan Feng clasped his hands together and turned to leave.
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at her wrist.
The Blood Jade Bracelet was stained with Xuan Feng's blood. She shook it slightly, preparing to go to the restroom to wash it off. But in that slight turn, as the blood drop brushed against the Blood Jade Bracelet on her wrist, it formed a faint, blood-red crescent mark.
Seeing the mark, Bai Xi's eyes widened slightly, and she finally curved her lips into a smile.
It seemed she had to do something.
Daylight had fully broken, and warm sunlight filtered through the clouds, casting a golden glow upon the earth.
The major poisoning incident in Shangyang had come to an end, and the remaining task was to continue the pursuit of the Kui Hall.
After Bai Xi finished washing up, she went down to the main hall for breakfast. Han Cai was already sitting there waiting. Seeing Bai Xi come down, he smiled and said, "Eldest Miss."
Bai Xi nodded faintly.
A short while later, Han Mo also arrived.
Han Cai then said to someone beside him, "Uncle Zhang, please invite Commander Xuan down for breakfast."
Bai Xi said faintly, "I sent Xuan Feng out on business last night. He should not have returned yet."
Han Cai immediately said, "Oh, oh, oh, then forget it. Uncle Zhang, come back. Um... Eldest Miss, please eat quickly."
