"Last night, I kept guessing where the sniper rifle might be. It wasn't until this morning that I found this place." Chu Tian'er yawned. She hadn't slept all night, with dark circles under her eyes and a tired look on her face.

"However, this location is too hidden. If it weren't for a master like me, it would be very difficult to track it down here."

Freya carefully surveyed the surroundings. It was a full fifty meters away from the royal palace. Although it was a bit different from the estimated one - hundred - meter distance last night, being able to shoot from such a distance was enough to show that the other party was extremely confident in their sniping skills.

"Freya, look!" Chu Tian'er suddenly pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "I measured these footprints just now. They should be from a size 42 shoe. From this, we can guess that it's a man."

"Also, the muddy ground all around proves that this person was in a damp environment. But it didn't rain last night, which means that the other party might have passed by a construction site or lived in an area with muddy roads, so they accidentally stepped on the mud."

"Moreover, take a closer look. What's different about these footprints?"

Hearing this, Freya carefully studied the footprints. Suddenly, her pupils constricted sharply.

"One deep and one shallow?"

"That's right, one deep and one shallow. This might indicate a problem. This sniper is a lame person with a disability in their legs. The center of gravity when walking is on the right foot, which means there's a problem with the left foot."

Chu Tian'er patiently told Freya all her findings. The more she heard, the more tightly Freya frowned.

A man, a lame man?

So, this sneak attack wasn't done by the Lady?

"Freya, come and look here." Chu Tian'er seemed to have made a new discovery and waved to Freya.

Freya walked closer. She pointed to a pot of green ivy and said, "Look here. The leaves of these green ivy have been damaged. It can be seen that the other party was in a hurry when they escaped, which is why they damaged the green ivy."

Freya carefully observed the surroundings again. This location was extremely hidden and was indeed suitable for lying in wait.

As for the green ivy that Tian'er mentioned, as soon as she got closer, she faintly smelled a strange medicinal fragrance.

She pushed aside the leaves of the green ivy and actually found a few pills scattered on the soil below.

So, it could be guessed that this sniper was a patient. After firing the shot and fleeing, they had an attack and knocked over the medicine bottle, causing the pills to spill under the green ivy.

As for what disease the other party had, it could be known as long as these pills were taken back to the medical room for verification.

Freya took out a tissue, wrapped the pills up, and put them away. She said to Chu Tian'er, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll take care of the rest. You've been up all night. Go back and rest first."

Chu Tian'er yawned several more times and nodded. "Okay. Contact me if you need anything."

After saying that, she put away the sniper rifle and turned to leave the rooftop.

Freya didn't stay either. She took the pills and rushed back to the medical room. She immediately handed the things to Yun Xiangcheng.

"Where did you get these pills?" Yun Xiangcheng had taken care of Manman last night and obviously hadn't slept well either. The tiredness on his face was hard to hide.

Freya said, "Help me find out what disease these pills are used to treat. As for where they came from, I don't have an answer for now. I'll tell you naturally after I sort things out."

Hearing this, Yun Xiangcheng smiled and said, "So mysterious. Are you hiding something from Bradley again?"

After knowing each other for a long time, everyone's way of dealing with things was no longer so restrictive.

Moreover, since Yun Xiangcheng was older than Freya, he had long regarded her as a younger sister and would occasionally crack a few jokes.

Freya bared her teeth and said, "No way. I'm doing this openly."

After saying that, she urged Yun Xiangcheng, "Hurry up and help me see what kind of medicine this is."

Yun Xiangcheng said helplessly, "There's no need for a test. I can tell it's an anti - cancer drug just by smelling it."

Yun Xiangcheng was a Western - medicine doctor and had been doing research on anti - cancer drugs before. So, he was most familiar with this kind of drug and could basically tell by just smelling it.

But Freya was different. She was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and was best at acupuncture. She also used traditional Chinese medicine. Although she had come into contact with a lot of Western medicine knowledge from Yun Xiangcheng and Sean before, it was only superficial.

Moreover, she wasn't very familiar with cancer.

"Can you tell what kind of cancer it is?" Freya asked.

Yun Xiangcheng picked up the pill and smelled it. Then he said, "If I'm not wrong, it's gastric cancer, and this kind of drug is specifically for advanced gastric cancer."

Hearing this, Freya frowned tightly.

A lame man with advanced gastric cancer. Why would he target the royal palace?

Was he sent by the Lady?

Or...

Was it just a revenge on the royal family out of dissatisfaction with his own situation?

There were too many doubts swirling in Freya's mind, and she didn't ask any more questions. She turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait, Freya, you haven't..."

Yun Xiangcheng wanted to ask something else, but she had already left the medical room in a hurry.

"This little girl never plays by the rules. She's really just like Bradley." Yun Xiangcheng shook his head helplessly and took the pills into the testing room.

Although he could be sure that it was a drug for gastric cancer, he still needed to do further research to confirm his guess.

......

Freya left the medical room and locked herself in the room when she returned to the main building.

Too many doubts were swirling in her mind, like a ball of tangled wool. Coupled with the lack of sleep last night, her head was starting to ache slightly.

Outside, there came steady and powerful footsteps.

Even before the person appeared, Freya knew it was Bradley.

Presumably, Blue Book had informed Bradley of her return as soon as possible. After all, there had been a little tail following her since she left.

Freya knew that Bradley was worried about her safety, so he had secretly asked Blue Book to send someone to protect her.

Originally, she didn't want Bradley to know that she was investigating the sniper. But now her mind was in a mess, and she needed someone to help her sort things out. So, after Bradley came in, she voluntarily confessed where she had been.

"I've found the location where the sniper fired last night. I just went there to check it out and found a lot of clues." After saying that, she walked up to the man and gently hugged him. "I'm sorry. I lied to you this morning and said I was going to Julia's store because I didn't want you to worry."

Bradley didn't expect her to confess to him voluntarily. He was a little flattered.

He raised his hand to gently stroke her slightly messy hair and said hoarsely, "If you knew I'd be worried, you should have told me everything truthfully. What, are you afraid I won't let you go out?"

Freya looked up at him, pouted, and said, "If I told you, would you let me go out?"

"No." Bradley said truthfully. After last night's incident, he thought that Solterra was no longer safe now.

So, how could he let Freya go out alone?
