The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

Lin Ruoxuan looked at Zhao Cezhi coldly and said sarcastically: "Your so-called 'intelligence' is useless. I am too lazy to listen to it."

As she spoke, she stood up and prepared to leave this place and people that made her feel disgusted.

However, just as she stood up, she was suddenly hit by a strong feeling of dizziness, as if the world had lost its balance in an instant.

Her body went limp and she could barely stand, even her steps became unsteady.

"You..." Lin Ruoxuan instantly realized that something was wrong, and she suddenly became alert. She reached out to grab the edge of the table to steady herself, but her strength seemed to be drained away, and she fell directly into the chair.

My vision gradually blurred, and everything in front of me seemed to be covered by a layer of fog.

Zhao Cezhi walked over slowly at this time, still with that gentle smile on his face, but there was no trace of disguised gentleness in his eyes anymore, instead there was a hint of indifference.

He looked down at Lin Ruoxuan, with a hint of contempt in his tone: "Ruoxuan, do you really think you can escape from my hands unscathed every time? This time, things will not go as you wish."

Lin Ruoxuan gritted her teeth and tried hard to stand up, but her body was completely out of control.

She glared at Zhao Cezhi hatefully, her eyes filled with anger: "You are despicable...what did you do to me!"

Zhao Cezhi sneered, slowly squatted down, approached her, his eyes cold: "No matter how smart you are, you can't guard against it after all. Do you think I asked you to come here today just to talk about the Song family? No, today, I don't want a negotiation."

Lin Ruoxuan's consciousness gradually faded, and she felt panic in her heart.

She never expected that Zhao Cezhi would be so shameless and actually want to force her in this way.

She wanted to call Luqiao, but before she could say anything, Zhao Cezhi's sneer interrupted her thoughts again.

"Don't bother. Luqiao has already been knocked unconscious and taken away by my people. She can't save you today."

Zhao Cezhi's eyes swept over Lin Ruoxuan greedily, and the smile on his lips became more and more proud. "Today, you can only be mine. As long as I get you, the Lin family will have to agree to this marriage. And Young Master Gu will naturally not want a woman who has been toyed with by others."

When Lin Ruoxuan heard these words, the rage in her heart almost set her on fire.

She had never hated someone so much, but her body was unable to move due to the effects of the drugs, and she could only watch Zhao Cezhi approach step by step.

As soon as Qi Zeshen arrived outside Anran Building, he saw the Lin family's carriage and felt a little uneasy.

He walked forward quickly and saw Lin Ruoxue standing aside anxiously looking at Anran Tower, so he immediately asked: "Ruoxue, when did the Eighth Girl go in? When did Zhao Cezhi go in? And where is Luqiao? Did she come out?"

Lin Ruoxue frowned upon hearing this, and she obviously realized something was wrong: "Ruoxuan went in about a cup of tea, and Zhao Cezhi followed in right after her. Luqiao... I didn't see her come out, she should still be inside."

Qi Zeshen's face suddenly turned gloomy, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger.

He turned around abruptly and rushed directly to Anran Building, not caring about anything else.

He knew that time was running out, and if he was a step late, things might become irreversible.

The lights in Anran Building are bright.

Seeing Qi Zeshen so anxious, Lin Ruoxue also realized that something was wrong.

"Ruoxue, do you know which private room they are in?"

Lin Ruoxue panicked and shook her head hurriedly

"Don't worry. Since we don't know where they are, we can only look for them one by one."

Qi Zeshen and Lin Ruoxue could only search the private rooms one by one. Every time they opened a private room, the guests inside would complain with dissatisfaction.

"What are you doing? Can't you see we are having a meal?" a guest asked angrily.

Qi Zeshen ignored him and said coldly: "All losses will be on me!"

Then he ran to the next private room.

After an anxious search, Qi Zeshen finally found the unconscious Luqiao in a secluded private room.

She collapsed to the ground, her face pale, probably because she had been drugged.

Qi Zeshen's heart sank, and he immediately squatted down to check on her. After confirming that she was just unconscious, he turned around and ordered the waiters who followed him, "Take her down!"

However, after searching all the private rooms, there was still no sign of Lin Ruoxuan and Zhao Cezhi.

Qi Zeshen's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he could hardly suppress his anxiety.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard at the gate, and Gu Nanyuan finally arrived.

As soon as he came in, he saw Qi Zeshen standing in the corridor with an extremely gloomy face.

Gu Nanyuan quickly walked to his side, his expression equally solemn: "Where's Ruoxuan? Have you found her?"

Qi Zeshen gritted his teeth and shook his head, whispering: "Not yet! I have searched all the private rooms, but there is no trace of them. Luqiao has been knocked unconscious, we may be too late."

When Gu Nanyuan heard this, his eyes instantly turned cold, as sharp as a cold blade: "Zhao Cezhi...if he dares to hurt Ruoxuan, I will never let him go!"

Then he suddenly thought of something and immediately turned around and asked the shopkeeper: "Is there a back door here?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded quickly: "Yes, there is a back door! Guests sometimes leave through the back door, but it is usually used by caravans."

"Take us there!" Gu Nanyuan roared almost like an order, his voice so low that it made people shudder.

The shopkeeper immediately led the way and the group quickly headed towards the backyard.

The back door was closed, but the chain on the door had been broken and the door was slightly open, indicating that someone had left here.

Gu Nanyuan and Qi Zeshen looked at each other, then kicked the door open and rushed out.

The alley outside the door was quiet and dark, and the street was empty. Only the moonlight was faintly shining on the bluestone road, as if mocking their late arrival.

Gu Nanyuan stood in the dim moonlight with a stern expression, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to be able to freeze everything.

The wind gently blew his robe, but at this moment his heart was as heavy as a rock.

Lin Ruoxuan’s disappearance made him even more anxious, but panicking would not help, he had to stay calm to handle it.

He turned to look at Qi Zeshen, his tone low but unquestionable: "Zeshen, send the eldest girl back to the Lin family first, and make sure she is safe. If anyone asks about Ruoxuan's whereabouts, just say she is with me, and don't let anyone suspect anything."

Although Qi Zeshen was filled with anxiety, he also understood the urgency of the matter and nodded: "I understand, you should be careful."

Gu Nanyuan patted Qi Zeshen's shoulder with a determined look in his eyes: "Don't worry, I will find Ruoxuan. The more ruthless Zhao Cezhi is, the greater the price I will make him pay."

Qi Zeshen looked at Gu Nanyuan's eyes and knew that Zhao Cezi was completely finished this time.

He was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Then I will take Ruoxue back immediately, and I will take good care of the Lin family."
