Huo Jin was brought in an injured state to the Wang Residence as some of the soldiers, who were in the forest, ended up seeing him.

"General Wang! General Wang!" A servant came inside the room, where he was having lunch with Bai Yaling.

"What happened?" Wang Hao looked at the fretful expressions of the servant.

"General Wang, Young Master Huo Jin is badly injured. He is brought to the residence by a few soldiers," the servant informed him. "He is bleeding severely," he said.

"What?" Wang Hao was shocked to learn about it. He immediately put the chopsticks on the plate and stood up from the chair. He then looked at Bai Yaling.

"Finish your meals," Wang Hao told her and gazed at Lady Dai. "Please help Bai Yaling to finish her food," he requested.

"I will come with you," Bai Yaling said.

"Finish your food first," Wang Hao urged and then left the room.

"What happened to Huo Jin? How did he get injured?" Wang Hao asked the soldiers, who were outside Huo Jin's room. The doctor was already brought and was examining Huo Jin.

The soldiers bowed before Wang Hao, among whom one came forward and said, "General Wang, we have been training in the forest when we heard some noises. We followed those noises and found five dead bodies, along with Huo Jin's body."

Wang Hao walked in and found the doctor was treating Huo Jin. He found the arrow above Huo Jin's chest and the bleeding was intensive.

"General Wang, if I pull out the arrow, then it might endanger Young Master's life," affirmed the doctor.

Wang Hao pinched the skin between his brows. "But it will spread infection in Huo Jin's entire body if not removed. That will be fatal for him," he stated. "Remove the arrow," Wang Hao made the decision.

The doctor nodded his head and went forward with it. He instructed his assistant to crush the herbs which needed to be applied after cleaning the wound.

Wang Hao cut Huo Jin's upper robe from one end so that it would be easy to treat the wound. The doctor swiftly remove the arrow from Huo Jin's chest, who winced in pain in his unconscious state.

He quickly pressed the wound from the clean fabric, to not let the blood overflow.

Suddenly, they heard the voice of Yin Na, who was arguing with the soldiers to let her inside. Wang Hao told the physician to continue their work and walked out of the room.

"Brother Wang," Yin Na whispered his name with teary eyes. "How is Huo Jin? They refused to let me go in," she said with a trembling voice.

Wang Hao grasped the hand of Yin Na and took her out. "He is fine. His treatment is ongoing," Wang Hao assured her.

"B-but I heard that the arrow ha-has hit him. He is bleeding wa-way too much," Yin Na said worriedly. Unbeknownst to her, tears started to stream down her eyes.

A strange fear had occupied her mind and her heart, it was hammering against her chest.

"Indeed, when someone gets hit by an arrow, bleeding becomes intense, but it is nothing to worry about. The treatment is going on, so there is nothing to be scared of," Wang Hao calmed his sister down and then wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Don't cry and go back to your room. It will take a little time for the treatment to get over," Wang Hao told her, who shook her head.

"I will wait for him to wake up outside his room. I need to talk to him," Yin Na stated.

"Yin Na, do one favor for me. Stay with Bai Yaling. She is alone at the moment and I need to be in Huo Jin's room for a while. As soon as the treatment will be over, I will call you," Wang Hao thought that with Bai Yaling, Yin Na would not panic this way.

"Yes, Brother Wang," Yin Na rubbed her eyes. "Call me as soon as the treatment will be over, Brother Wang," she again requested him.

"I will, Yin Na," Wang Hao said. He gazed at her attendant, who had followed them earlier, and gestured to her to take Yin Na away.

"Miss Yin Na, let's go," the attendant said and took her away.

Wang Hao was relieved to see her go. He could not let her stay near Huo Jin's room because his condition was indeed critical. He went back and found the physician had somehow stopped the bleeding.

Wang Hao looked at Huo Jin's upper robe, which he had cut earlier. He picked it up and looked at the shoe mark on it. He came out and handed that to the servant. "Throw it away," he ordered.

Wang Hao turned to those soldiers and investigated from him about the dead bodies.

"General Wang, those dead bodies are sent to the public mortuary for the examination. General Wang can check them later," the soldier stated.

"Seal the forest and the route adjoining it," Wang Hao commanded them, who bowed and left the residence altogether.

"Who could do this with Huo Jin?" Wang Hao furrowed his brows. He was not able to understand who was a hidden enemy of Huo Jin. "An attack on him was unexpected," he muttered.

"It can only be found when Young Master will gain consciousness, General Wang," the servant said.

Wang Hao walked in and saw the few white cotton bandages that were stained with blood. The doctor and his assistant had applied the herbal paste on the wound and the bleeding had stopped, however, Huo Jin's body temperature had risen because of this deep wound.

When Wang Hao came near the bed, the doctor informed about the same to him.

"Giving the pill can worsen the recovery of Young Master," he added.

"What about some other way?" Wang Hao asked.

"Only the strips of wet cloth on the forehead will be best, General Wang," the doctor answered. Wang Hao found that Huo Jin was only injured above the chest and his entire body was clean.

"Sure."

The doctor recommended a few other things to Wang Hao, who keenly pay heed to them. He thanked the doctor for treating Huo Jin.

The doctor smiled and asked his assistant to pass the bandage, as he had to wrap it around Huo Jin's wound.

'Someone from far shot the arrow on him when he fought those five men,' Wang Hao deduced. He looked at the arrow on the table and picked it up.

He examined it. 'It is mostly used by the upper-class people,' Wang Hao thought.
