"You have mostly rookies here. Dangers like today’s are rare," Peng Huai said directly. His meaning was clear: the doctors in the recruit camp would never include famous healers. What he didn’t say was that because the danger was low, Master Yao would even less likely send his disciples. Master Yao’s disciples were always stationed at the most critical posts.
While Liu Fu made a scene with Peng Huai, others discussed the matter in secret.
"Are you sure Zhu Yanyi is Master Yao’s youngest disciple?" a hidden figure asked. Her tone was cautious, her mind turning over many thoughts, yet revealing nothing.
"It’s almost certain," the informant replied. "Our plan is about to begin. Judging by the young disciple’s performance today, her medical skills will likely be excellent in the future. Should we eliminate her too?"
"Are you foolish? Our current target is Master Yao. Attacking her will surely draw attention from the higher-ups. They will then assign guards to protect her disciples. Do you think there will be any chance to deal with her then? However, since she is her disciple, we need not worry too much. She is still no match for Master Yao. But you must investigate Zhu Yanyi. I dislike being on the defensive. Find her weaknesses. If she is indeed talented, strike at her weak points. I don’t believe a little girl can hide her flaws forever." In her mind, controlling a child was far easier than controlling an adult.
"You are right. Little girls always have weaknesses. Parents and relatives are their weak points. Once we control her family, the girl will naturally fall under our control."
"Exactly. So, ignore the girl for now. We must focus on this operation. We cannot let Master Yao have even a shred of hope. For years, his medical skills and the medicines he developed have threatened the headquarters’ operations. This person must die." His tone held unspeakable hatred. If not for Master Yao’s existence, they would not be in such a passive position.
"You are right. Master Yao must die. But will he have handed his research data and prescriptions to one of his disciples?" They had sent people to search for the prescriptions at Master Yao’s place for a long time but found nothing.
"That is possible. Over the years, we sent waves of elites, yet none found his prescriptions. It is likely he passed them to a disciple." The hidden figure agreed.
"Could it be this little girl?" the man asked speculatively.
"It is possible, but unlikely. The girl is probably not from the Capital. She only visits the Capital for a few days each year. Most of her time is spent learning from Master Yao. Master Yao would not pass on prescriptions to disciples still in training. However, Gu Jingtian and Dong Bo Cao are more likely candidates." The hidden figure pondered for a moment before sharing her guess.
"Should we check with Gu Jingtian and Dong Bo Cao?" the man asked urgently.
"Try it. If we can get the prescriptions, that would be best. If not, it doesn’t matter. But Master Yao absolutely cannot be left alive. Complete the plan quickly, then eliminate Master Yao. We will call this operation 'Kill the Doctor'."
"Yes." The informant replied and left.
