Shen Siyan was immersed in painting, and every stroke was full of concentration.

At this time, the voice of the attendant came from outside the door: "Master, Miss Ye's maid requests to see you."

Shen Siyan stopped writing and said after a moment: "Let her in."

The door opened, and Yu Shu hurried into the room, saying anxiously, "Master, please save our young lady."

Shen Siyan frowned and put down his pen: "What happened?"

"Today, the young lady said she wanted to go to the market to buy desserts, but she was stopped by Mr. Ye on the way. He said he had something important to discuss. The young lady followed Mr. Ye into the alley. I waited for a long time but she didn't come out. When I went in to check, I found that there was no one in the alley, only the young lady's handkerchief."

As Yu Shu spoke, she clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand and almost cried.

Shen Siyan's heart sank, realizing that Ye Yunzi might be in trouble. He asked, "Where did she disappear?"

"It's in the alley nearby, Master. Please find the young lady."

Yu Shu had no choice but to ask Shen Siyan for help, because Shen Siyan was good friends with Ye Yunzi, and with his intelligence he would definitely be able to help find the lady.

Shen Siyan immediately ordered his followers outside the door: "Organize people immediately and search the entire city!"

"Yes, sir." The attendant quickly left to carry out the order.

Then he said to Yu Shu, "Take me to that alley."

Upon learning of Ye Yunzi's disappearance, Shen Siyan was anxious. This matter was related to the Ye family again! His eyes became cold, and he secretly made up his mind that this matter must be related to the Ye family.

He clenched his fists and said to himself: Yun'er, you must be safe and sound.

No matter where you hide, I will find you.

At this moment, Ye Yunzi sat quietly on a pile of hay, her heart calm.

Ye Chongde on the side seemed anxious. He stretched his neck to stare at the iron gate and nervously tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Why hasn't anyone come yet? It's already past the agreed time, and we should let them out now.

At this moment, the iron gate was suddenly pushed open roughly, and a man with a scar on his face walked in, staring at them fiercely. "You are so ungrateful that you dare to report to the police." He said in a stern voice, with an imposing manner that scared Ye Chongde so much that his body trembled.

finally come!

Ye Chongde's eyes lit up. According to the plan, they would leave after pretending for a while.

"Open the door!" the scarred man ordered.

With a noise, the heavy door opened, and the scarred man walked in with a knife in hand. He glanced at the two of them coldly, "Since you betrayed me first, don't blame me for being rude."

"You, what do you want to do?" Ye Chongde pretended to stand in front of Ye Yunzi.

"You actually dared to report to the police, but I didn't even give you a tael of silver. What's the point of keeping you?" The scarred man glared at Ye Chongde.

Ye Chongde knew it was just a show, but judging from the scarred man's expression, he seemed to be really angry.

Ye Yunzi narrowed her eyes slightly, a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she quietly watched Ye Chongde's so-called protection.

"After killing you, I will send your heads back to your homes so that you will know the consequences of offending me." As the scarred man said this, a knife quickly appeared in front of Ye Chongde, with the tip of the knife almost touching the tip of his nose.

Ye Chongde's pupils suddenly shrank and he felt a chill, "You..."

What's going on? This is not what we had agreed on! They didn't mention the knife at the neck scene.

The scarred man sneered at Ye Chongde and said, "Master Ye, your family didn't keep their word first, so don't blame me for being ruthless. I was going to let him go after you paid me, but not only did you not pay, you also reported me to the authorities..."

Ye Chongde's heart suddenly tightened and he swallowed involuntarily.

A knife slowly moved to his neck, and the cold blade touched his skin, making his hair stand on end.

This is serious. If he makes any mistake, his life will be in danger.

"You...don't do this..." Ye Chongde's voice was trembling. Even if he was acting, it was too realistic.

"Who should be killed first? Mr. Ye, or this young lady..." The scarred man glanced at Ye Yunzi coldly, with a hint of suggestion in his eyes.

"We can't let the old send off the young, so let's start with Master Ye."

The scarred man's eyes were as cold as ice. He shook the knife in his hand slightly, and blood immediately oozed out of Ye Chongde's neck.

Ye Chongde turned pale. When he saw the blood, he realized that this was not a false alarm. "How dare you, you bastard, really hurt me?"

"You will only cause trouble if we keep you here. It's better to deal with it sooner rather than later." The scarred man raised his knife and prepared to chop again. Ye Chongde hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"

"Okay, that's enough!" Ye Chongde gave the scarred man a look, signaling him to stop.

The scarred man snorted coldly, "Enough? Master Ye, don't you understand now?"

"You..." Ye Chongde felt a chill and suddenly understood something. They asked Yunzi to cut her finger and write a blood letter, not for show, but really wanted to put the Ye family and the Su family under their control.

"I am the master of the Ye family. If you dare to attack me, the Ye family will not let you go..."

"We are a group of fearless desperadoes. Why would we care about your threats?" the scarred man laughed.

"This is different from what we talked about before." Ye Chongde blurted out in a hurry. After hearing this, a cold light flashed in Ye Yunzi's eyes.

"What did we talk about?" The scarred man sneered and raised his knife, pretending to chop him down. Ye Chongde collapsed on the ground, trembling, and said, "Wait, don't kill me. I'll give you the silver you want, any amount is fine."

"It's too late." The scarred man's voice was cold and ruthless.

Ye Chongde was so scared that he was shaking all over. "How could you go back on your word? You said you would let us go when the time came, but you took the money and did something so despicable."

When the knife fell, Ye Chongde turned pale with fright.

However, when the tip of the knife almost touched him, it stopped.

The scarred man put away his weapon, and his cold aura disappeared. He turned to the woman who had been observing from the side and said, "Miss."

Ye Yunzi waved her hand gently, signaling the scarred man to step back.

Ye Chongde's mind was in a mess, and he had no idea what was going on. The atmosphere in the cell became strange. Ye Yunzi approached him and asked condescendingly, "Master Ye, do you have anything else to say?"

"You asked these people to act out this scene just to pretend to protect me and regain my trust, right?"

"You..." Ye Chongde's face turned pale and blue as his heart was touched. He didn't know what to say. "This is simply nonsense. How could I collude with them?"

Ye Yunzi slowly unfolded her bandaged hands, revealing her intact palms, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Ye Chongde's eyes widened when he saw this. All of this was fake, and he was fooled by these people.

"Master Ye, please respect yourself."

Ye Chongde's behavior completely wiped out the last bit of kindness in Ye Yunzi's heart. From now on, even if he knelt in front of her, she would not even look at him.
