When he suddenly saw Lin Ruoxue appear in front of him today, Qi Zeshen didn't know how to react for a moment.

However, his friends around him saw Lin Ruoxue's expression and guessed that Lin Ruoxue might have something to ask Qi Zeshen, so they also stood up and said goodbye.

"Brother Qi, let's meet again some other day."

Qi Zeshen also quickly stood up and sent his friends out.

Turning around and seeing that Lin Ruoxue seemed a little uncomfortable, Qi Ze sighed deeply.

"Sit down and have a cup of tea."

Lin Ruoxue did not refuse either.

"What do you want to see me about today?"

Qi Zeshen felt that based on his understanding of Lin Ruoxue, Lin Ruoxue was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to look for him later. If she took the initiative to look for him, there must be something going on.

After Lin Ruoxue came back to her senses, she thought of Lin Ruoxi's matter and suddenly became anxious.

"I did see the details of the matter and asked for your help."

Qi Zeshen raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

"Today, we sisters had a dinner party at Rulou, and the third sister said she had a headache and left halfway. But the third sister did not return home, and her whereabouts are still unknown."

"The third sister is an unmarried woman, so we can't look for her in a big way. The Lin family has limited tolerance, so I would like to ask you to help find the third sister."

Qi Zeshen nodded. "With our relationship, do we still need to be so polite? Your business is my business. I will send someone to look for him later."

But when he thought of Lin Ruoxi, Qi Zeshen couldn't help but frown.

"It's right that you consider your third sister, but your third sister may not be a good person. If you interfere too much in her affairs, you may get into trouble in the future."

Lin Ruoxue naturally knew what Qi Zeshen meant, and she also knew that Lin Ruoxi was not a good person.

Otherwise, he would not have bullied his brothers and sisters in the mansion openly or secretly when Liu was in favor.

Moreover, as a sister, she would not fail to help Lin Ruoxuan when she encountered difficulties, and would not even step forward to add insult to injury.

But after all, Lin Ruoxi was also their biological sister. She couldn't just watch Lin Ruoxi encounter an accident.

"Although Sister Xi is a bit harsh, we are sisters after all, so I will help her when I can."

Qi Zeshen saw Lin Ruoxue's expression and didn't say anything more.

This is the Lin family's own business, so it's not appropriate for him to interfere too much.

At this time, Lin Ruoxuan also found Gu Nanyuan. Seeing that Gu Nanyuan was drinking with Song Zhennan, Lin Ruoxuan couldn't help but step forward and take the wine glass from his hand.

"Drinking too much is harmful to your health."

Looking at the person who suddenly appeared, Gu Nanyuan couldn't help but show joy on his face.

"Why are you here today?"

Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao greeted Song Zhennan before sitting down.

Hearing Gu Nanyuan's question, the two looked at each other and hesitated for a moment whether they should speak.

It would be fine if it was only Gu Nanyuan, but now there was also Song Zhennan sitting here, so the two sisters did not dare to speak rashly.

Although Song Zhennan helped them once when they were in Jingzhao Prefecture that day, they didn't really know him. If the news really got out, the entire Lin family would probably be implicated.

Some time ago, she also saw the hostility of the other families towards the first family. If something unexpected happened to Lin Ruoxi at this time, those people would probably really find someone to replace the head of the Lin family.

Although Lin Ruoxuan didn't think her father was suitable to be the head of the Lin family, he was her biological father after all. With Song Shiyuan as their biological father, they were not so constrained in doing things.

Gu Nanyuan saw the look on Lin Ruoxuan's face and guessed that they might have something urgent to do.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me. Brother Song is one of us. We may even become a family in the future."

Gu Nanyuan glanced at Lin Ruoqiao inconspicuously and said meaningfully.

However, when Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao heard what he said, they thought he was talking about the marriage between the Gu family and the Lin family, so they didn't ask any further questions.

"My third sister is missing."

Lin Ruoxuan's words stunned Gu Nanyuan and Song Zhennan.

"What happened? How did it get lost?"

"Today we had dinner at Rulou, and Third Sister said she had a headache and went back home first, so we didn't ask any more questions."

Lin Ruoqiao at the side continued: "After we returned, we found that the third sister had not returned home at all. And it was already late, the third sister..."

Gu Nanyuan and Song Zhennan both understood what Lin Ruoqiao had not finished saying.

Either Lin Ruoxi deliberately didn't return home, or something else happened.

But considering that Liu and Zhang Qiu were just arrested today, even if Lin Ruoxi wanted to, she would not deliberately not return home today, so there is only the second possibility.

"You want me to help find Lin Ruoxi?"

Lin Ruoxuan nodded. "Third sister is the daughter of the Lin family after all. If something bad happens to her, I'm afraid the reputation of the Lin family will be irreparable."

Gu Nanyuan nodded, and understood the pros and cons of this.

"I will send someone to look for it right away."

Gu Nanyuan whispered a few words into the ear of his personal guard, then raised his hand and asked him to leave.

Song Zhennan on the side suddenly said, "If you ask me, you'd better not look for it. Even if you find it, you should prepare for the worst."

Song Zhennan's words made several people's eyes fall on him. Song Zhennan didn't care at all. Instead, he picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea slowly.

"If for no other reason than for the Lin family's reputation, you must announce to the public that the third young lady is dead."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes to look at the teacup in his hand, and his voice became a little deeper.

"Even if she comes back in the future, she has to declare to the public that she was pretending."

Ever since Liu was kicked out of the house, her children have had a bad reputation.

Even though Lin Ruoxi stayed in the Lin family because of the old lady of the Lin family and Lin Shiyuan, her existence was still a thorn in the hearts of the Lin family and a symbol of shame for Lin Shiyuan.

His words made Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Ruoqiao's eyes widen. Although they couldn't understand what Song Zhennan meant by this, they were shocked to hear him say directly that someone was dead.

Lin Ruoxuan looked at Gu Nanyuan blankly, not understanding why he had to say that a perfectly good person was dead?

"It is unknown whether the third sister is alive or dead. Is it inappropriate to announce her death?"

However, Gu Nanyuan, who was standing by, saw Song Zhennan's expression and understood his intention.

"Recently, there have been several cases of women going astray in the capital. These women and unmarried women all took sedan chairs home, but eventually disappeared."

"During this period, many people reported to the authorities, but they still couldn't find the people. No one knew whether they were alive or dead. But the strange thing is that these people returned home safely more than ten days later."
