Chapter 321: In The Same Boat

He did not understand why Young Master Tan would ask that. The number of specialists in the courtyard did not seem to have anything to do with him.

However, even if he did not understand his intentions, he had to answer him.

Although they followed Pharmacist Yin’s orders here, Pharmacist Yin listened to Young Master Tan and did almost everything he said.

“Only so few?”

Young Master Tan frowned and suddenly felt contempt toward the specialists’ abilities.

Was this really someone his master had placed in an important position? Did his master really send so few guards to protect Pharmacist Yin?

Furthermore, none of them appeared to notice anything unusual outside. They were clearly not skilled and would be easily defeated if a fight broke out.

The subordinate did not understand what Young Master Tan said.

Were this many people not enough? This location was very secluded—nobody would ever discover it.

It was enough to have so many people. Did they not suppress the people they kidnapped enough?

“Young Master Tan…”

“Guard here. I’ll go see Pharmacist Yin.”

Young Master Tan took a deep breath and left without saying another word to his subordinate.

He had thought that following his master was a wise path, but it did not seem so now. After all, one wrong move could result in a complete loss!

“Young Master Tan, Pharmacist Yin…”

The subordinate turned around and looked at Young Master Tan’s back. There was still a lot of confusion in his eyes, but he wanted to remind Young Master Tan that Pharmacist Yin was busy preparing the antidote and did not have time to care about anybody.

However, on second thought, letting Young Master Tan go to Pharmacist Yin while he was angry might be a good thing. Everyone else was too afraid to offend him.

Hence, he kept quiet.

Meanwhile, Young Master Tan arrived outside Pharmacist Yin’s door in familiar strides and knocked on it a few times.

Pharmacist Yin was furious because he could not develop the antidote. He became even angrier when he heard someone knocking on his door.

The sound of the knocks disrupted his train of thought, and he cursed, “Who’s there? Get lost!”

Young Master Tan did not care about Pharmacist Yin’s words and spoke calmly, “Pharmacist Yin, it’s me, Xiao Tan.”

Pharmacist Yin relaxed when he heard the familiar voice. He turned around and opened the door, looking at Young Master Tan.

“Xiao Tan, why are you here? Didn’t Master ask you to keep an eye on Prince Lei Ting?”

He did not know Prince Lei Ting’s current state, nor did he expect Prince Lei Ting, who had always worked with his master, to be abandoned without hesitation.

If he knew, he would have to consider if he would be abandoned by his master one day.

Young Master Tan knew better. Although he was a little suspicious of his master, they were in the same boat now. Of course, he would not pull the rug out from under him.

“We have people watching Prince Lei Ting. Master asked me to protect you,” he said with a smile.

“I see.”

Pharmacist Yin believed Young Master Tan and nodded in satisfaction.

“It’s good that you’re here. I’m in trouble here. Those people outside are all useless. They can’t do anything well. I’m relieved you’re here.”

He reached out and pulled Young Master Tan inside.

“If you encounter any trouble, I’ll help you resolve it immediately.” Young Master Tan maintained his smile, but it did not reach his eyes.
