The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy
Chapter 69 Li Youbin, are you willing to be the bait?
"According to my guess, the criminal opened the entrance to the secret passage in advance and then hid on the couch. When Qiqiu fainted near the screen, the criminal picked her up and turned around to enter the secret passage. The other party must be a martial artist, who could have done it so quietly."
"Because the screen of Ten Thousand Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix blocked the entrance, after Qiqi was taken away, her maid Linglong did not notice the secret passage."
"Linglong came to report when she learned that Qiqi was missing. Perhaps by this time, the criminals had already brought Qiqi to Li Youbin's yard..."
"But the moment Qiqi disappeared, the Li Mansion began to impose martial law, and there were guards everywhere. I'm sure that the villain would not be able to take Qiqi out in time. Now, we should go through the secret passage."
"That villain must still be staying in the mansion."
Shi Weian asked Li Youbin to go out and call in the guards outside.
Shi Wei'an raised his hand and signaled: "You go into the secret passage first and search it carefully. If there is nothing, continue forward and see where the exit is."
After saying this, Shi Wei'an paused and looked at Madam Li again: "It's too dark in the secret passage, please prepare some lanterns."
Madam Li nodded repeatedly: "Butler Qi, quickly take people to prepare."
Butler Qi responded and left in a hurry with a few maids.
Soon, dozens of lanterns were delivered and handed over to all the guards.
The chief guard responded and waved his hand back, "Go!"
Before he finished speaking, the captain of the guards entered the secret passage first, followed by the guards behind him.
Seeing this, Li Youbin suddenly thought, "Grandma, are there any other dangerous traps in the secret passage?"
Madam Li shook her head: "No."
"Okay, I'll follow in too."
Before Madam Li could react, Li Youbin followed.
Lord Jia looked hesitant and did not want to enter the secret passage. If Lord Shi did not bring it up, he would stand there pretending to be dead.
Anyway, Mr. Shi has already deduced the circumstances of the disappearance of the eldest daughter of the Li family, so he should be of no use.
Shi Wei'an seemed to be aware of Lord Jia's thoughts. He glanced at him and said in a slightly cold tone, "Lord Jia, why don't you go in and take a look?"
Lord Jia: “…”
No, there are already so many guards in front, what purpose can he achieve by going into the secret passage?
It's impossible to ask him to go into battle and fight the bad guys with his bare hands, right?
However, facing Shi Weian's cold eyes, Lord Jia could only choose to compromise. He pulled the corners of his lips stiffly and forced a smile: "Come in, I will go in right away."
Lord Jia closed his eyes, looking as if he was about to die, and strode towards the entrance of the secret passage.
Never mind, once Shi Weian targets him, he might be killed without a complete body. Now that Shi Weian is still around, he can only be sensible. A man who knows the times is a hero.
After returning home safely, he pretended to be seriously ill and closed the door to visitors.
He would just bear with it for now.
Only after Lord Jia went in did Shi Weian follow him in.
Madam Li thought for a moment and did not follow him. Instead, she turned and walked out of the room, saying to all the female relatives, "The Li Mansion did not entertain you well today. Please do not take it to heart. Both of you are worried about Qiqi's safety. I also hate that villain hiding in the Li Mansion. I don't know if he has any accomplices..."
"Therefore, everyone, please do not wander around. If you are spotted by that villain..."
All the women present understood what was not fully said.
If something really happened to them in the Li Mansion, even if the two adults were here, they probably wouldn't try their best to find their whereabouts.
After all, they didn't know that Li Qiuqiu was a seductive woman who knew how to bewitch people.
Madam Zhang said quickly: "I will follow the old lady wherever she is and will never run around the mansion."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other female members of the family began to echo them.
Old Madam Li was relieved.
The Li Mansion was already in chaos enough at this time, and it would be fine as long as these people stopped causing more trouble.
The guards who entered the secret passage did make a discovery.
"Sir, here is a piece of blood-stained cloth."
Knowing that his master had also entered the secret passage, he followed them. The guard leader turned around and walked towards Shi Wei'an, "It's burlap."
Shi Weian stopped and took the cloth from the captain of the guard. He lowered his head and sniffed it, then immediately frowned.
"There is also a scent on the fabric, the same scent as the screen outside. This piece of fabric must have been left behind by the bad guy."
"The other party should be injured."
The captain of the guards was silent for a moment, and then he heard his master's order: "Everyone, move faster and search the ground carefully to see if there are any bloodstains. If you find any, come back and report."
"Yes."
The captain of the guard left quickly.
The secret passage was very narrow, barely enough for two people to walk side by side.
When the head of the guard came over, Li Youbin followed him, "Sir, this blood-stained cloth belongs to the bad guy, so my sister should be okay, right?"
Li Youbin asked nervously.
Shi Weian glanced at him indifferently, said nothing, and walked forward.
Li Youbin: “…”
After all, the missing one was his biological sister, how could he not even ask about her?
Li Youbin was dissatisfied, but once he met the gaze of Lord Shi, he dared not say a word and could only retreat in disappointment.
Lord Jia is quite sensible. He is happy and at ease as long as Lord Shi and Li Youbin don't cause him trouble.
I just don't know how long this secret passage is and when he will see the exit.
In fact, the secret passage is not long.
Apart from the blood-stained cloth, the captain of the guard did not find anything else suspicious.
Just as my master expected, the closer they got to the exit of the secret passage, the more the guard leader found blood dripping on the ground. The blood had not dried yet, so it must have been left there not long ago...
The chief guard lowered his voice and gestured behind him: "We are almost out, everyone be careful."
The guards nodded.
There is a mechanism at the exit of the secret passage, which is embedded in the wall on the left. It is very conspicuous and exactly the same as the porcelain vase in the room.
The captain of the guards walking in front tried to push the porcelain vase in again, but there was no response.
"Take out the porcelain vase."
Shi Weian has come up.
Upon hearing this, the chief guard said yes, and then, as his master had instructed, he took out the porcelain vase embedded in the wall.
There was a slight "click" sound.
A crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the wall in front of them, and faint sunlight shone in from outside.
The wall slowly split in the middle and moved closer to the left and right sides. The situation outside fell clearly into the eyes of the guards.
Li Youbin anxiously pushed aside the other guards and stepped forward quickly, "It is indeed my yard." He must not let the bride, whom he had managed to snatch back, be harmed by that villain!
Li Youbin was anxious and walked out first.
"Don't……"
The young master of the Li family moved so quickly that the captain of the guards couldn't stop him.
Little did he know that Li Youbin, who had just come out of the secret passage, was hit by a cold arrow the instant he came out. Fortunately, the captain of the guards reacted quickly. The moment he heard the noise, he reached out and pulled Li Youbin back in time.
The arrow passed by Li Youbin and hit the wall behind him.
Li Youbin: ???
Li Youbin was completely frightened. If the captain of the guard had not supported him, he would have collapsed to the ground.
"Mr. Li, it's hard to guard against a hidden arrow."
The chief guard said, "Until we are sure it is safe outside, please do not rush out to die, Mr. Li."
Li Youbin was still in shock.
Li Youbin widened his eyes, slowly turned his head and looked at the chief guard. He took several deep breaths before he could calm down. "Fortunately, fortunately you helped me, otherwise, I would really be dead!"
Even though he has done all sorts of bad things, he still wants to keep living.
How can I continue to do evil in Suzhou City if I am not alive?
The captain of the guard ignored him and went to report the situation to his master: "Sir, there is an ambush outside."
Shi Weian also saw the scene where the captain of the guard pulled Li Youbin in. This way, he was even more certain that the other party was coming for him.
Lord Jia was afraid of his life and quickly hid behind the guards.
Shi Wei'an: "Did you see who shot the arrow in the yard just now?"
The head of the guard said: "I didn't see it clearly, but judging from the direction the arrow came from, it should be at a relatively high position. Perhaps the person was standing on the courtyard wall and shooting the arrow."
Shi Wei'an: "Send someone back to the room immediately to inform Madam Li and ask her to gather all the guards in the mansion to rush to Li Youbin's yard."
Lord Jia volunteered: "Sir, I can run fast, why don't you let me go back?"
Shi Wei'an glanced at him and said, "Okay, it's you."
Lord Jia's eyes lit up, he suppressed his excitement, turned around and left.
Looking at Lord Jia's departing back, Shi Weian suddenly sneered.
You are so afraid of death, and yet you still want to get promoted and make money?
……
Lord Jia did not delay at all and almost trotted back to his room.
Old Madam Li and a group of female relatives were still waiting in Li Qiuqiu's yard.
Seeing Lord Jia coming out, Old Lady Li asked, "Lord Jia, what's going on?"
Master Jia took a breath and said quickly, "Madam Li, there is an ambush in Master Li's yard. Master asked the old lady to gather the guards in the mansion and rush over there. Make sure to catch the criminals!"
"What!?"
When Madam Li heard this, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes and was about to faint again. She forced herself to hold back and tightly pinched the wrist of the maid beside her.
The maidservant dared not say a word even though she was in pain and could only endure it.
Madam Li took a moment to calm down before saying, "Butler Qi, go quickly and listen to Lord Jia."
Butler Qi: "Yes, please come with me, Master Jia."
The guards of the mansion were still searching every corner for the whereabouts of Li Qiuqiu and the villain. When they heard the order from Butler Qi, all the guards immediately rushed to Li Youbin's yard and quickly surrounded the entire yard.
But this time, the male guests who had stayed in the front yard also came over.
Meng Huaijun and Xie Shiba, who was already in disguise, looked at each other while standing in the crowd, and quickly looked away.
What the young master guessed was correct. There are indeed people who want to cause trouble at this time.
In the past two days, because Li Youbin had been staying in the mansion to recuperate, Meng Huaijun could not find an opportunity to get to know Li Youbin smoothly, so he could only take Xie Shiba to create a "rescue encounter" to let Meng Huaijun get to know another businessman who had an invitation to the Li Mansion, Zhang Guanglin.
Afterwards, Meng Huaijun and Xie Shiba followed Zhang Guanglin into Li's mansion for the banquet.
The guards also saw the man standing on the courtyard wall with a bow and arrow.
The man was wearing a fox mask, so his features couldn't be seen at all.
Old Madam Li and a group of female relatives also hurried over.
The women didn't want to come, but seeing that Old Madam Li had spoken, they had no choice but to follow...
Seeing the man standing on the courtyard wall with a bow, Madam Li forced herself to remain calm and asked, "Who are you? Why did you sneak into the Li Mansion and do evil?"
"Did you take my granddaughter Qiqi away?"
"Who am I? I have nothing to do with the Li Mansion."
The man wearing the fox mask looked down, and his murderous gaze fell on Madam Li: "I am here today for only one purpose, and that is to make Shi Wei'an pay with blood. Whoever prevents me from taking revenge, I will kill him first."
"I heard that Li Qiuqiu is Shi Wei'an's favorite mistress, so it doesn't seem too much to start with Li Qiuqiu, right?"
"Madam Li, if you are reluctant to leave your granddaughter, I can also reluctantly send you off. What do you think?"
Madam Li: “…”
Madam Li's face turned pale immediately, and she pointed at the man with a trembling finger: "You, you are so cruel! Lord Shi will never let you go!"
Shi Weian, who was in the secret passage, was not surprised when he heard the conversation outside.
After all, he has been in power for many years, offended many people, and has a lot of blood on his hands. Since the other party is coming for him, he must not show up. It's a pity for Qiqi...
If he really couldn't save Qi Qiu's life, then he would kill the villain who took Qi Qiu away to avenge Qi Qiu!
Li Youbin immediately raised his eyes to look at Shi Weian. He didn't know what Shi Weian was thinking, and immediately looked angry and gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, the villains outside are so arrogant, they actually want to kill my sister. Please find a way to rescue my sister as soon as possible!"
Shi Weian glanced at him indifferently, his eyes dark and unclear.
Officials all cherish their lives, and when they are in a high position, they are even more greedy for power. No matter how much Shi Weian likes Li Qiuqiu, the beautiful woman, it is not worth it for him to take risks for her.
not to mention……
Shi Weian suddenly felt that he should not have come to Suzhou in person.
"The person who took Qiqi away was not the one outside."
Shi Wei'an said, "Based on the blood-stained cloth we just saw, it is enough to prove that the villain who took Qiqi away was injured, but the man standing on the courtyard wall did not look injured."
"If we want to save Qiqi, we have to catch the man outside first."
Shi Wei'an spoke slowly, his sharp eyes fixed on Li Youbin, and he slowly revealed a gentle smile: "Li Youbin, are you willing to be bait to save your sister?"
Li Youbin: ???
