The Marquis of Changle was extremely cunning and not so easy to catch. Han Jun was busy for several days and searched almost every corner of the capital, but he couldn't find any trace of him.

Han Jun went to Xu Huaiyi to discuss, "Could he have sensed the danger and left the capital?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "No."

"Why are you so sure?"

"He is now a lost dog. What else does he have except his life? All his family members are dead. What's the point of him running away?

It is better to take revenge than to linger on. Since he failed to assassinate Emperor Yongping, he may not do anything for a while, but don't forget that I am his enemy. How can he be content without stabbing me a few times?"

Han Jun looked at him with a complicated expression, "How come you're not nervous at all when someone is watching you?"

Marquis Changle was a ruthless man who was able to reach into the palace and assassinate Emperor Yongping, so it seemed not impossible for him to assassinate a marquis.

Xu Huaiyi smiled and said, "What's the point of being nervous? If an enemy comes, we will fight him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. It's still uncertain who will win or lose. I'm actually looking forward to him coming to seek revenge on me."

Han Jun reminded him in a long and complicated way, "The mansion is not a monolithic entity. You still need to be on guard against what you should be on guard against. You have the ability to protect yourself, but what about the two children?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded. He had already made all the necessary preparations and was just waiting for Marquis Changle to take action.

Marquis Changle's revenge came slower than he expected. Emperor Yongping had recovered from his injuries and started attending court. The incident of the seventh prince falling into the water also had a result. It was not a harem power struggle as the court officials thought, but a divisive tactic by Marquis Changle. The purpose was self-evident, and it caused the princes to kill each other.

Xu Huaiyi was not surprised at the outcome of this incident. When he reminded Han Jun, he had guessed Emperor Yongping's choice. Regardless of whether the murderer was Marquis Changle or not, Emperor Yongping would put the blame on him.

It's better than brothers killing each other and the harem being unstable.

He has been busy fishing these days and often strolling outside, creating opportunities for Changle Hou to assassinate him. However, the other party just didn't take action, which made him wonder if he had made a wrong judgment.

Who would have thought that as soon as he returned home, he received a shocking news that his son was kidnapped by unknown persons!

The people in the mansion suddenly became panic-stricken. They were obviously afraid that the tragedy a few years ago would happen again. That was how Gu Xiaoyu died. What if the young master also...

No one dared to imagine how heartbroken and torn the Marquis and his wife would be!

Just when they were worried, who would have thought that a family of four was enjoying a delicious hotpot in the RV?

When Xu Huaiyi flashed in and saw this scene, he was also a little speechless, "Am I the only one who is worrying about nothing?"

Gu Huanxi pointed at her eyes and said, "Can't you see that I've already cried?"

When she heard the tragic news that her son had been kidnapped, she certainly couldn't help but react, but she was really not good at acting, so she could only cry for a while and then fainted.

Ah Li said with a smile, "Dad, I'm still busy with my master in the medicine shop. I haven't even received any news. It's no use worrying about him."

Xu Huaiyi looked at his wife and daughter indulgently, "Okay, both of you are right."

After a pause, he asked his son, "Zhuangzhuang, what happened? Didn't I put people next to you? There were more than a dozen people in the open and in the dark, and I couldn't protect you?

Also, weren't you kidnapped by bad guys? You are so calm. "

Gu Zhuangzhuang ate the mutton slices in his bowl while calmly explaining, "I let the other party succeed on purpose. The initiative is in my hands, so there is naturally nothing to be nervous about."

"Hmm? You let yourself be captured on purpose. What do you want to do? Use yourself as bait?"

"Well, there are only thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. The sooner we catch the thief, the sooner the crisis in our family can be resolved."

Xu Huaiyi said helplessly, "You are so brave, what if you fail?"

Gu Zhuangzhuang said, "The other party's target is not me, but they are using me to lure you over. Before you arrive, I will not be in any danger."

Xu Huaiyi snorted, "That's not necessarily true. Even if they don't want to kill you, what if they beat you up? Wouldn't the physical pain be dangerous?"

Gu Zhuangzhuang said as a matter of course, "So I won't be stupid enough to stay there and get beaten. Aren't I getting in the car now?"

Xu Huaiyi choked and asked angrily, "How do you explain why you suddenly disappeared?"

Gu Zhuangzhuang said, "Those people didn't take me seriously at all. After catching me, they threw me into the cellar and went out to drink. They probably won't think of me for a while."

Xu Huaiyi was completely speechless.

Gu Huanxi handed him a pair of chopsticks and said, "Eat quickly. Once you are full, you can work better. You never know if someone will send a message home and force you to go somewhere to save your son."

Xu Huaiyi grumbled as he ate, "I wasted all the time hanging out outside these days. Why didn't you just attack me?"

Gu Huanxi said, "Why else? The success rate of catching your son is higher. Then, isn't it easier to use your son to threaten you?"

Xu Huaiyi looked at his daughter and said, "When you go home later, be careful. If the other party attacks you in two ways, you will be in danger. Don't be like your stupid brother and act as bait. Just let the other party kill you."

Ah Li agreed with a smile.

Gu Zhuangzhuang, "..."

How could he be stupid for taking advantage of the situation? Shouldn't we praise him for his ability to adapt to changing circumstances?

After eating the hotpot, Xu Huaiyi slipped out. His wife was still dizzy, so he had to stay at home. His acting skills were pretty good, and his calm face was quite intimidating.

All the available people have been sent out to look for others, and all he can do now is wait.

News kept coming in, and several groups of people had not been found. The atmosphere in the mansion became increasingly tense, as people were afraid of hearing some ominous news next time.

Ah Li returned safely, but encountered some trouble on the way. Someone frightened the horse, and it rushed recklessly on the busy street, rushing towards the carriage where Ah Li was sitting. There was no way to hide or avoid it. In this situation, the people in the carriage were either dead or disabled.

At that time, Dr. Jiao was so frightened that the blood in his body froze, and other passers-by who witnessed this scene also screamed in shock.

However, when Doctor Jiao got off another carriage with trembling hands and feet, he saw that his apprentice was safe and sound and looked much more energetic than him.

The moment the carriages collided, Ali quickly slipped into the RV. How could he be injured?

The answer is that she was just very skilled and lucky, so she just happened to dodge it.

No one doubted it.

After all, no one would have thought that there would be such a plug-in as a motorhome.

When Xu Huaiyi learned that his daughter had also been murdered, he was so angry that he smashed a cup on the spot. Even though the murderer had been arrested, he still looked unhappy.

How much did Marquis Changle hate him that he specifically picked out his weakness to attack him?

As night fell, someone finally handed a note to the mansion. The words on the note were written in blood. The content was simple and concise, asking Xu Huaiyi to go to a remote farm outside Beijing and exchange himself for his son, otherwise he would kill the son.

Xu Huaiyi stared at the words, worried, "Will that silly boy suffer a loss?"

Gu Huanxi remained calm, "Nothing happened to me. I just saw him in the car. The blood must have come from the subordinates of Marquis Changle..."

"Hmm?" Xu Huaiyi didn't react for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Gu Huanxi held his forehead and sighed, "Your son was afraid of being hurt. When he heard that his captors had entered the cellar, he guessed that they were going to torture him, so he hid in the RV early."

Xu Huaiyi, "..."

Gu Huanxi added, "So the other party tricked you there. In fact, they all thought Zhuangzhuang had escaped. Although they couldn't figure out how he escaped, it was a fact that he was missing. Anyway, you didn't know. As long as they could trick you there, it would be fine. They probably had already set up a trap there."

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "Then I'll have to go meet him for a while."

Gu Huanxi reminded, "Don't be careless. Others may not know, but we know that Zhuangzhuang is not in danger. Don't rush in desperately. Even if you want to act, you must control your position and avoid any casualties. It's not worth it..."

Xu Huaiyi nodded, took his men, and left the house in the dark.
