Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Yan Ci disappeared.

The three of them split up into three groups and searched all the places where Yan Ci might have gone, but they couldn't find any trace of Yan Ci.

As Xie Chengyin searched more and more places, his expression became more and more ugly. He not only went to places Yan Ci often went to, but also went to places Hua Cijing might go to, but still found nothing.

Xie Chengyin looked at the dark night, his heart seemed to have fallen into a deep pool.

Chunzhi was so anxious that she was running around in circles. As the sky grew darker, she became more and more uneasy.

If she disappeared during the day, it would be easy to cover up. But if she disappeared at night, if the news got out, the girl's reputation would be ruined.

Xie Chengyin also thought of this. Although safety is the most important thing to Yan Ci, reputation cannot be ignored.

He glanced at Chunzhi and said in a deep voice, "Worrying is useless. What you need to do now is to go back to Yan Mansion and take care of Liufang Courtyard as usual. Don't let others know that your girl is not here. If anyone finds out, just say that she went to Qiu Mansion to stay with Qiu Fuqiu. If there are other things that cannot be solved, you can come to Songyaji to find Qicun at any time. He will help you deal with it."

Qicun then nodded towards Chunzhi.

Chunzhi nodded, and bowed respectfully to Xie Chengyin with gratitude, "Thank you very much, young marquis. I'll leave my daughter in your care. I hope you can find my daughter as soon as possible."

Watching Chunzhi's hurriedly leaving figure, Qicun asked, "Master, why don't you let Chunzhi tell Lord Yan? It would be faster if more people were to find him."

Xie Chengyin frowned, "Yan Ci's disappearance is not simple, one more person will only make things more complicated. Bring more people to investigate whether there is anything unusual along the way from Songyaji to Yan Mansion, and find out where Yan Ci disappeared from."

Qicun bowed and immediately took people to investigate.

At this time, the missing Yan Ci was locked in a pitch-dark hut.

His hands and feet were tied, his mouth was stuffed with cotton cloth, and he could not speak or move.

The only thing to be thankful for is that he is still sober.

What happened today happened so suddenly that she was really caught off guard. She was brought to this strange place without any resistance.

After leaving Songyaji, she walked towards Yan Mansion, feeling the hustle and bustle of people coming and going on the street with brisk steps, which was no different from usual.

A little girl selling flowers came through the crowd carrying a small bamboo basket, shouting and recommending the flowers in her basket to the people around her.

Yan Ci had no intention of buying flowers, so she walked past the little girl without even looking at her.

At this moment, a burly man with broad shoulders and a strong waist came towards them. The girl was busy selling flowers and did not see the burly man. The burly man was used to being domineering and when he saw that a little girl selling flowers dared to block his way, he immediately became angry and raised his hand to push the little girl hard.

The little girl was pushed unexpectedly, and the flower basket in her hand fell to the ground, with the flowers in the basket scattered all over the ground. She fell backwards uncontrollably.

Yan Ci had only taken two steps over when he quickly turned around and caught the little girl, preventing her from falling directly to the ground.

After the sturdy man walked away cursing, the little girl lowered her head to pick up the flowers on the ground. Yan Ci looked at the little girl who was crying while picking flowers and felt a little sorry for her.

He took out a silver ingot from his pocket and put it into the little girl's hand, saying, "I'll buy these flowers."

The little girl looked up at Yan Ci in surprise and cried even harder.

Yan Ci squatted down and helped the little girl pick up all the flowers. He comforted her, "Don't cry, go home quickly."

The little girl held the heavy silver in her palm, looked at Yan Ci's smiling face, and suddenly took the flower basket back. The silver ingot was also stuffed back into Yan Ci's hand, and her tone was full of panic, "I won't sell you this flower!"

Yan Ci was a little stunned when he saw the little girl running into the crowd and disappearing.

Just as I was about to catch up, I suddenly smelt a strange fragrance, and I couldn't lift my feet to take a step forward.

Then I saw the sturdy man who had pushed the little girl just now came back at some point and stopped beside her.

Yan Ci's heart was filled with alarm and he immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap, but it was too late.

Later, she was blindfolded and brought to this place.

Even without the black cloth covering her head, Yan Ci couldn't see clearly where she was now.

She estimated the time. It was still You time when she left Songyaji, so it should be Hai time now.

During this hour, the people who captured her did not hurt her at all, but they did not come to see her either. Even if Yan Ci had a way to save herself, she could not use it since she could not see the people who captured her.

As time passed, Yan Ci finally spit out the cotton cloth in his mouth with great effort, and his breathing suddenly became much smoother.

Just as Yan Ci was about to move towards the door, he suddenly heard chaotic footsteps outside the door.

The door was pushed open with a creaky sound, and a cold voice was heard, "Turn on the light."

Then, steady footsteps were heard, slowly walking towards the direction of Yan Ci.

Yan Ci listened carefully and felt that the voice was familiar. He turned his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

Just at this moment, the light in the dark room came on.

Because I had been in the dark for nearly two hours, when the light came on, my eyes were stimulated and I closed them subconsciously.

After taking a breath, Yan Ci looked in the direction where the footsteps stopped.

Upon seeing this, Yan Ci's dark eyes revealed unprecedented surprise.

It turned out to be him!

Shen Zhaoyan, who was already sitting on the only chair in the room, smiled and said, "Miss Yan, long time no see."

Yan Ci stared at Shen Zhaoyan closely, the complex emotions in her eyes were concealed by her calm expression.

No wonder she felt that the voice of "hold the lamp" sounded familiar, it turned out to be an acquaintance.

Yan Ci raised the corner of his mouth and sighed innocently: "I didn't expect to meet His Royal Highness Prince Xiang in this situation."

Shen Zhaoyan smiled: "It is indeed a bit presumptuous to invite Miss Yan here, but I really have a lot of questions, so I invited Miss Yan to talk to me."

Yan Ci raised his bound hands and said, "Since His Highness Prince Xiang used the word 'please', I will be considered as His Highness's guest. I would like to ask, does His Highness always treat guests in this way?"

Shen Zhaoyan's smile did not reach his eyes. He turned his head and winked at Dao Ji who was beside him, "Go, untie Miss Yan."

Dao Ji walked over, drew out his sword and with two snaps, Yan Ci's bound hands and feet were freed.

Rubbing his painful wrists, Yan Ci sat cross-legged on the ground and said bluntly, "I wonder if the prince has any questions that I can answer?"
