Because of the incident on the tenth day, they missed the chance to buy herbs. On February 15th, Ethan Bennett and Lu Fang stopped seeing patients and went to buy herbs. As the place they were going was far away, Ryan Thompson was already six months pregnant. Although it was still not very obvious, Ethan Bennett was nervous and asked Ryan Thompson to stay and look after the house.
Ethan Bennett and Lu Fang left home in the early morning. When they came back, the sun had already set. The carriage was neatly stacked with medicinal herbs. When they were unloading the goods, they found that the side door was locked from the outside. Ethan Bennett's heart tightened. He quickly put down his things and opened the door, asking anxiously, "Where is Xiaoyan?"
The two searched all over Huichun Hall. Lu Fang found a note in the front hall and ran to hand it to Ethan Bennett. Ethan Bennett opened it and saw that it said, "Ajin, Xiaofang, the gambling house is paying wages today. Manager Zhao Ge came to inform me that the accounting office will close at 10 pm. I'll be back soon."
Ethan Bennett finally calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief. He then found a place to sit down and said, pressing his leg, "I was so scared. I thought something happened to Xiaoyan."
Lu Fang picked up the note and studied it for a long time. He had more experience in the underworld, so he frowned as he read it and said, "Are the people in this gambling house so kind? Ryan Thompson has already retired from gambling, and he hasn't even worked for a full month after the New Year, but they still specially notified him to go and get his salary?"
