Chapter 2: The Mysterious Man

Upon hearing such arrogant words, Lin Luochen snorted coldly and shook the anesthetic gun in her hand. "I have this!"

The man's mouth curled into a mocking smile and coldly retorted, "Do you think I only have a knife?"

As he spoke, he had a few hidden weapons in his hand, pointing them at her. "Want to see who's faster?"

Lin Luochen thought to herself that if a real fight broke out, she wouldn't be afraid. However, there might be his enemies or her own enemies following them at any moment, so it was best to prioritize survival.

"I am skilled in medicine! I can save you!" Lin Luochen compromised.

"You?" The man looked at her with suspicion.

"At the rate you're bleeding, you won't last until I find a doctor for you! Whether you want treatment or not is up to you!" Lin Luochen said, crossing her arms and looking down on him.

The man furrowed his brow, then relaxed. "A drowning man will clutch at a straw!"

Lin Luochen was displeased. In the future world, she was a highly sought-after doctor, so why was she being treated with such disdain here?

Supporting him, they headed deeper into the woods. However, due to the beating she had endured, Lin Luochen was in so much pain that even a short walk made her body tremble. Sensing her pain, the man asked, "Are you also injured?"

"I am being pursued by my stepmother. Perhaps the next moment, you will be burying me!"

The man listened to her sarcastic words and looked at the woman before him. She was stunning but pale, and despite her disheveled appearance, she remained composed.

Lin Luochen looked at him. His eyes were captivating, but now was not the time to admire them. If the bleeding didn't stop, he would have no chance of survival.

The man's eyes, like bright stars, carried a hint of a smile as he said, "You will be safe with me!"

Lin Luochen only glanced at him and said no more.

Arriving at a nearby mountain temple, the man was helped to sit down, and Lin Luochen tore off a piece of cloth from her sleeve to blindfold him.

The man did not refuse, but when her cold fingers touched his eyes, he felt a strange sensation.

Lin Luochen took out an anesthetic and quickly injected the man. He closed his eyes, completely unconscious.

She removed a bracelet from her wrist, which had the appearance of a watch. With a light touch, an interface appeared in the air.

This was the most advanced intelligent medical database in the future world, containing not only the equipment of top hospitals but also medical laboratories and large supermarkets.

Using the fastest speed, she set up the most basic operating room and performed a clearing and repair surgery on him, removing the broken sword from his chest.

In a daze, the man felt as if a small knife was constantly cutting his back, but he felt no pain. He became even more curious about the woman before him.

When he woke up again, the woman was no longer in the temple. His wounds had been stitched and bandaged skillfully, completely different from the methods of an ordinary doctor.

After injecting himself with antibiotics, Lin Luochen hurried to the Jinghua Temple. Because the wound on his back could not be cleaned, he could only rely on medication and injections to reduce inflammation.

Once past the border, they would reach the official road, where the guards would not dare to act recklessly, so Lin Luochen would be safe.

Arriving at the Jinghua Temple, the trusted aide of the An family had already arrived and embellished the story.

When she appeared before the Prime Minister in a bloody state, his veins bulged as he angrily demanded, "Who did this?"

Lin Luochen cried and threw herself into her father's arms, tears streaming down her face. "Father! I finally found you. I thought I would never see you in my lifetime..."

The Prime Minister's eyes reddened with heartache. "My dear daughter, what happened? Tell me, and I will take care of it for you!"

Lin Luochen cried out in distress, "Help! Help! Father, the Prime Minister's mansion is so terrifying!"

The trusted aide of the An family was shocked. He had not expected that so many guards could not stop her, and now she had arrived at the Jinghua Temple in such a state. How could the Prime Minister believe the words of Lady An?

"Miss, are these injuries really caused by Prince Li knowing about your affair and taking drastic measures?"

Lin Luochen's eyes flashed with a cold glint as she looked at the guard, making him shiver.

The Prime Minister narrowed his eyes into slits and stared at the guard. "How dare you speak ill of my daughter?"

The guard immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Lin Luochen understood her position in her father's heart. The Prime Minister was still concerned about the original owner of her body. Therefore, performing a melodramatic act in front of him was still valuable!

She had a hint of a smile in her eyes, but her face was filled with sorrow and despair.

"Be good, my dear! Stop crying! Father will take care of it for you!" The Prime Minister's heart was breaking. His eldest daughter had always been weak and incompetent. This time, she must have been frightened!

Lin Luochen had already cried until she was out of breath. Seeing that the act had gone far enough, she rolled her eyes and pretended to faint.

The Prime Minister shouted in panic, "Get a doctor! Quickly! Get a doctor!"

A nun at the Jinghua Temple treated her wounds, cleaned the wound on her back, and applied herbal medicine. After the pain subsided, the exhausted Lin Luochen fell asleep.

She slept deeply and comfortably. When she woke up, her hand was being held by the Prime Minister, who was shedding tears.

In that moment, her heart softened, and she thought of her father who had passed away in the future world. Tears welled up in her eyes.

When his daughter woke up, Lord Xiang turned his head and wiped away his tears. After regaining his composure, he asked, "The secret guard came to report to you and..."

He couldn't bring himself to say it, just staring at his daughter, hoping that all of this was just a lie.

Lin Luochen's face looked grim, with a hint of grievance in his eyes as he said, "I have been framed!"

Lord Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, "By whom?"

Lin Luochen's voice was low, his gaze fixed on his father as he said, "Aunt An!"

Lord Xiang was greatly shocked. He didn't want to believe it. He sighed for a while before saying, "It can't be her! She has always been pure and kind, never harsh to you!"

Lin Luochen snorted coldly in his heart, but withdrew his gaze from Lord Xiang and said with a hint of grievance, "You don't believe she's responsible for my injuries?"

Lord Xiang sighed softly, "I... I will investigate and handle it properly when I return."

"How will you handle it?" Lin Luochen clenched his fists.

"You will recuperate well at the Jinghua Temple! I won't let Prince Li know about this! If the misunderstandings between you and her can't be resolved, then so be it! You will be of age in a year and will marry, then you won't see Aunt An anymore."

A pained look flashed in Lin Luochen's eyes as he withdrew his gaze. It turned out that Aunt An held such a significant position in Lord Xiang's heart!

It seemed that this war was going to be a protracted one!
