Chapter 278 Missing

Originally, I just wanted to ask my father about their sudden dispatch to Changzhou City, but...

Some people mysteriously disappear one after another... This is not a trivial matter.

Therefore, after hearing Zisu's report, Ruan Youqing's face became more gloomy.

Li Yi's side has already begun to take actions for rebellion, and people suddenly disappeared in the capital.

These two seemingly unrelated things, is there any connection?

However, Ruan Youqing couldn't think of any necessary connection between Li Yi's plan to rebel and the woman's disappearance.

Moreover... these missing women all come from major brothels in the capital...

correct!

"Is anyone missing when we reach the stars?" Thinking of this, Ruan Youqing clenched his hands unconsciously, and asked with some anxiety.

Zisu heard this, and quickly replied: "Master, our star-seeking sisters are either talented or quick-witted. So far, no one has disappeared."

Hearing that no one was missing from Zhaixing, Ruan Youqing still felt uncomfortable.

Seeing that she was about to leave for Guz, this kind of thing suddenly happened again in the capital. Even though it seemed that she had nothing to do with Li Yi, she did not dare to relax easily.

"That's right!" Ruan Youqing suddenly remembered the envoys from those countries, and asked directly if they were still in Beijing.

Unexpectedly, the brother and sister from Yuhuan Kingdom were the first to leave.

Apart from deliberately embarrassing her at the banquet last time, these two people did not make any other waves.

It was expected that Wei Chijing, the ever-victorious general of Canglong Kingdom, would stay in the capital.

But it is a little surprising that the prince Baili Huaijin of Nanting Kingdom and the wizard Kugli of Guzi Kingdom have not left yet.

Baili Huaijin has cleared himself of the suspicion of sending someone to assassinate her and Gu Changan, so if he wants to leave and return to China, no one will stop him.

And the real murderer behind the scenes, Kugli, a wizard from the country of Guz, can still stay alive in the capital?

It seems that the matter of visiting this wizard has to be arranged as soon as possible.

While Ruan Youqing was discussing with Zisu what they would prepare for going to Guz country in a few days, there was a sudden knock on the door with great urgency.

"What's wrong?" Zisu frowned slightly.

The master is still here, and I don't know which unruly girl came to disturb him.

Ruan Youqing looked outside the door, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Sister Zisu, it's me, Yue Jian!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Zisu allowed her to come in.

After Yue Jian came in, she first glanced at Ruan Youqing timidly, then bit her lip, and said directly: "Master, Yue Ling is gone!"

"Yueling is gone?" Ruan Youqing and Zisu changed their expressions.

You must know that although Yueling and Yuejian have been living in Zhaixing Building, the two sisters don't have to pick up guests because of their young age. You just need to follow Yueying or Zisu to deal with some shady things occasionally or help take care of the trivial matters in the Star Picking Building.

And... these two girls are also good at martial arts.

This suddenly disappeared...

Could it be the same as those mysteriously missing women that Zisu mentioned just now?

"Tell me what's going on slowly." Ruan Youqing calmed himself down before speaking.

At a time like this, she must remain calm.

Otherwise, she would panic, and Zisu and the others would be even more disturbed.

Yue Jian red eyes nodded, and after adjusting her breathing, she slowly opened her mouth: "Isn't our place so peaceful recently, this morning, Xing'er, who was buying rouge, dared not go out easily, Yue Ling saw this , and took the initiative to go out with her. But in the afternoon... only Xing’er came back. Xing’er said that Yue Ling seemed to have met an acquaintance on the road, and after talking with the other party, Yue Ling let Xing’er come back first , saying that she has other things to do. Then...and until now... Yueling has not come back. I have sent people to search all the restaurants, teahouses and even shops in the capital, but they still haven't found it..."

"Myolie?" Ruan Youqing slightly frowned, for this name was a little strange to her.

In the Zhaixing Building, except for Yueying Yuejian Yueling and Zisu, she doesn't remember everyone else.

"Master, Xing'er has been in Zhaixing Building for four or five years. As you know, the recruit of Zhaixing Building will definitely find out the other person's life experience. Both of her parents died, and only one uncle and aunt are left. And she After this uncle and aunt sold her for money, she has never been in touch with her family."

「Did you investigate her uncle and aunt?」

"Except for being a philistine who loves to take advantage of others, everything else is normal. The most important thing is that they have not been threatened."

"Then you can try to see if Xing'er is telling the truth."

"Yes, Zisu will bring her here." Zisu quickly agreed.

Soon, Zisu brought this girl named Xing'er.

When Ruan Youqing looked over, Xing'er lowered her head in fear and dared not speak.

Zisu didn't explain much, but said to Xing'er very gently: "Xing'er, just in case, I need to use something to see if you are lying."

After hearing this, Xing'er nodded obediently in response.

As a result, Zisu asked four or five questions, and Xing'er's answers were all the same as what Yue Jian said just now.

Yue Ling met an acquaintance on the way, and after chatting with her for a while, she let her come back first.

Yue Jian was listening, her expression getting more and more complicated.

Ruan Youqing saw Yue Jian's reaction, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"Master, Yue Jian is stupid, Yue Jian just realized now, whether it's Yue Ling or me...we...we have no other acquaintances in the capital except the people in Zhaixing Building!"

Ruan Youqing was stunned, and then remembered that the two sisters had no father, no mother, and no support before they came here.

"Then..." Ruan Youqing turned to look at Xing'er, and said in a slow tone, "Xing'er, can you see that person's appearance clearly?"

Xing'er nodded, and replied in a soft voice: "That person's appearance is nothing special, he looks like... the kind of person who walks on the street and grabs a lot of them. And... that person probably hasn't been here before. Star Tower."

「Is it a man?」

"Uh-huh.."

Ruan Youqing clenched her hands involuntarily, then turned her head and told Zisu, "Go to the place where Xing'er and Yueling parted ways again, and investigate to see if anyone else knows or saw something. Always know, Where was she taken by that person, and where was the last place she was seen before disappearing."

Zisu took action immediately after receiving the order.

After Zisu left, Ruan Youqing, who had no clue, didn't stay any longer. After comforting Yuejian a few words in a soft voice, she set off and returned to the mansion.

It's just that when she came out of Zhaixing Building and walked through the familiar alley, she realized that...

Seems like...someone is following her.
