"Ms. Yang, could you please tell me if you have ever seen my great aunt?" Having broached the subject, Hang Qingming was anxious to get an answer, as he couldn't afford further delay on his return. As for his actions, he believed Ms. Yang wouldn't hold him accountable.

Yang Mengchen shook her head slightly, "No."

"How then did Ms. Yang come into possession of this set of Black Needle and the other equipment?"

"A fortuitous coincidence." Seeing Hang Qingming's eyebrows knit together, Yang Mengchen spoke indifferently, "Whether Young Master Hang believes it or not, I indeed acquired them by chance. At that place, there was only that army green camo box; there was nothing else, nor any signs of habitation.

It's likely your great aunt had been there, but for some reason, she left after burying that box and never returned before I found it."

Hang Qingming's face showed deep disappointment, and his figure swayed slightly. How could he face his Imperial Uncle's dying request after searching for over a decade and still not finding his Imperial Aunty?

Seeing Hang Qingming like this, Yang Mengchen felt somewhat distressed, "If Young Master Hang trusts me, you could go home first and let me search for your great aunt's whereabouts."

"Thank you, Ms. Yang! I'll draw a portrait of my great aunt for you shortly. I entrust this matter to your care!" This solution seemed most appropriate. Hang Qingming hesitated for a moment, "Ms. Yang, could you return the Black Needle and the equipment to me?"

"Does Young Master Hang possess medical skill? Or does someone in Young Master Hang's family know how to use that equipment, particularly the Black Needle?" Yang Mengchen raised an eyebrow.

Lan Ling had mentioned that the female military doctor had said the Black Needle set was of special quality and not just anyone could use it.

As for why she could wield it with ease, she was still unclear. Perhaps it was related to Xiao Guai and his mother?

Hang Qingming was taken aback.

The Imperial Aunty had indeed once said that only a person of destiny could use that set of Black Needle. In the past, some did not believe in this and tried to use it, only to bring disasters upon themselves, resulting in no one daring to covet the Black Needle again.

Could Ms. Yang be that person of destiny?

But what about the Imperial Uncle?

"My great uncle was deeply in love with my great aunt and died in regret. I would like to bury the Black Needle and equipment with him, as if my great aunt were accompanying him, to console his longing for her," Hang Qingming said.

"Your great aunt must have been a benevolent healer then?" Yang Mengchen asked.

"Of course." Hang Qingming was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Yang Mengchen would ask this.

"If that's the case, she would surely prefer someone to use the Black Needle to heal more patients rather than having it buried deep, losing its function and value," Yang Mengchen gently persuaded. She was reluctant to part with the exquisite Black Needle set, "Having fortuitously acquired it, I will naturally carry on her will to help the world and save people. Isn't that right, Young Master Hang?"

After thinking it over, Hang Qingming nodded in agreement, finding Yang Mengchen's words reasonable.

"I have already prepared a carriage for you. Young Master Hang, along with Nan Tian and Bei Hai, should leave by night. Also, I have placed Bei Hai's medicine in the carriage," Yang Mengchen waved her hand, and Hai Tang and the others immediately retreated to her side.

Hang Qingming clasped his hands in a fist and saluted Yang Mengchen with a bow, then turned to leave. As he reached the doorway, he stopped abruptly, turned around, and addressed Yang Mengchen, "I have a question that I would like to ask Ms. Yang."

"Please go ahead."

"All the kindness Ms. Yang has shown me during this time, is it because of the person who looks very similar to me?"

Hai Tang exchanged a glance with Lv Luo. Lv Luo then led several Elite Guards out of the room and closed the door behind them, standing guard outside while Hai Tang stayed by Yang Mengchen's side.
