Doctor Xie, was particularly curious about Ah Ning's master. She had met Doctor Zhao, the wandering doctor, a few times, but he only introduced himself as a wandering doctor without going into details.
Despite his lack of explanation, Doctor Xie knew he was an extraordinary medical expert, capable of treating Young Master Tan's illness. The news about Young Master Tan's recovery had spread, but Doctor Xie was unaware that he had been poisoned, as the Tan family kept it a secret until the culprit was caught.
Doctor Xie had asked Doctor Zhao a few medical questions during his visits to Renxin Medical Hall, and he kindly answered them, leaving her with a sense of enlightenment. She understood why he had refused Ah Ning as his apprentice; she wasn't qualified enough at the time.
Now, they shared a mutual understanding despite their age difference.
It was Doctor Xie's rare day off, and she had planned to take Ah Ning home. However, they encountered the thugs on the way.
Feeling guilty, Doctor Xie apologized to Xia Yan and the others, "Today's incident is my fault. I scared Ah Ning. Those people came for me, and I brought her into this mess."
Xia Yan had already picked up Ah Ning, and the group swiftly left the alley.
Ah Ning clung to Xia Yan's neck and reassured Xie, "Sister Xie, don't blame yourself. I wasn't scared. Don't worry."
Meng Han thought Ah Ning was adorable, so she held her hand.
Curiously, Ah Ning looked at her, and Meng Han chuckled, making Ah Ning laugh too. Xia Yan, however, didn't notice their small interaction and furrowed his brow, asking Doctor Xie, "Those people came for you?"
He thought they were targeting Doctor Zhao and Ah Ning, and he knew some details about Young Master Tan's poisoning, fearing that the assailants might harm Ah Ning.
Doctor Xie nodded, "Yes, they are thugs from a gambling den. My father has a gambling problem and owes them money, but I can't possibly repay it for him."
Meng Han finally stopped looking at Ah Ning and asked, "I heard that gambling den thugs are ruthless. They failed this time, but they might come after you again."
Doctor Xie smiled confidently, "Don't worry, as a skilled doctor, I have some connections in the city. I know many people, and I can seek help to deal with the gambling den. They were just trying to scare me and extort money, not daring to harm me seriously."
As a highly skilled female doctor in the city, Doctor Xie was highly sought after among the wealthy ladies. She often handled gynecological problems that male doctors might not feel comfortable dealing with, making her very popular.
Over the years, Doctor Xie had accumulated a considerable network of connections, making this matter relatively easy to resolve.
