Chapter 2330: Wei Shi Wakes Up

However, regardless of whether the main family intended to silence Wei Shi, Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu wouldn't deliberately inquire about that shop at this critical juncture.

Their own situation was already precarious, and it wasn't the right time to introduce new complications.

Everything would have to wait until Wei Shi woke up.

The two of them roamed the streets for a while, but the surveillance team followed them closely, becoming increasingly restless.

Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu had been in this area for four or five days, and they couldn't help but wonder why they hadn't heard from Qi Lie yet. What were they waiting for? Had they already made contact? If so, why were they still in Qingxuan County? It couldn't be that they were trying to locate the black market, could it? The black market was outside the city, and they had been operating near the inn without straying far these past few days. They had interacted with very few people, and they had thoroughly investigated them, finding no issues.

However, no matter how restless the surveillance team became, Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu continued their activities according to their plan.

But the fact that Wei Shi remained unconscious was a constant source of worry for them.

Fortunately, on the afternoon of the third day, there was finally some movement from Wei Shi.

Zhao Xi, using the pretext of researching medicinal materials, summoned them to his room.

When Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng entered, they saw Wei Shi occasionally opening her eyes, squinting against the pain in her abdomen.

Due to severe blood loss, her vision was blurry, and she couldn't clearly make out her surroundings. She sensed that someone was talking to her, but the voices seemed distant.

She briefly regained consciousness but soon fell back into a deep sleep.

However, this was a positive sign, and even Zhao Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

After sleeping for another night, Wei Shi finally woke up the next afternoon. This time, she was more alert. When she saw Zhao Xi's back, she hesitated for a moment, then surveyed the room, realizing that it was an inn. Feeling the pain in her abdomen, she knew she had been saved.

She tried to speak, but her voice came out hoarse. She looked at Zhao Xi with gratitude.

He waved his hand dismissively. "No need to thank me. I'm just glad you're okay."

Wei Shi remembered how she had desperately escaped from the backyard and hid in the alley. After that, she had lost consciousness, and she had no recollection of what happened next. She asked Zhao Xi, "Did you save me?"

"It wasn't me who rescued you from the alley, but I'm a doctor, and I treated your injuries."

"I see."

Seeing that she was more awake now, Zhao Xi asked, "What's your name?"

"Song Juanmei."

Zhao Xi was momentarily puzzled. "Song Juanmei? Aren't you Wei Qin?"

Wei Shi widened her eyes in disbelief. She endured the dizziness in her head and asked, "How do you know?"

Zhao Xi raised an eyebrow, understanding. "So you really are Wei Qin? Song Juanmei is your current alias?"

"Do you know me?" Wei Qin stared at Zhao Xi, certain she had never seen him before. But why did he know her real name? This was too strange.

Zhao Xi rubbed his chin. "I wouldn't say I know you, but I've seen your portrait."

Wei Qin suddenly thought of her escape from the wealthy merchant's house in Huajiang Prefecture. She could imagine that they would be searching for her using her portrait. Could it be that he had seen her portrait in Huajiang Prefecture?
