Zhong Wei went out with her personal maid. Madam Ouyang said that the maid was very thorough and even if Zhong Wei felt depressed and wanted to relax, the maid would definitely send a message back to prevent the elders at home from worrying.

But now, there is no news for both of them. When thinking about the girls disappearing one after another in the city, he becomes even more anxious.

Song Wenyuan arranged for Lin Mu to secretly search for someone outside, while Yuan Ge stayed with Madam Ouyang. He knew that any consolation would be in vain, but he had to say, "Madam, don't worry. I have met Weiwei several times. As far as I know, she is a gentle but independent, brave and smart girl. She will be fine."

Mrs. Ouyang was a traditional weak woman. She could not stand such a blow. Her lips trembled. “What’s the use of being clever... When meeting those unreasonable people, being clever is useless!” She hesitated and did not say the word “bandits and hooligans” out loud. She only said “unreasonable people” relatively implicitly.

She looked like the sky was falling.

Yu Qingqing held her arm and comforted her, "Yes, Aunt Zhong, don't worry, we can't panic, right? Lord Song is very powerful, he will definitely bring Weiwei back safely. Otherwise, let's go back to the mansion and wait for news. Maybe Weiwei just went out for a walk and has returned now... When we see her, I will scold her for you. The little girl is ignorant. How can she go out without saying a word? Isn't this scary!"

Madam Ouyang also knew that if she was seen crying and spread out, the news of Zhong Wei's disappearance would certainly be exposed. She took a deep breath to calm herself down, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and grabbed one with each hand, saying "Okay, okay... Weiwei is blessed to have you two friends. Then I will go back and wait for news... Madam, whether it is good or bad news, please pass it on as soon as possible, okay?"

Yuan Ge stood up to see him off and nodded, "Sure, don't worry."

Madam Ouyang then walked back, looking back every few steps. The wide hood on her cloak covered her face, and she followed Yu Qingqing deliberately, lowering her head so that no one could tell who she was. I'm afraid that even if someone saw her, they would only think it was Zhong Wei, who was inseparable from Yu Qingqing.

Xu Chengjin glanced at Song Wenyuan who was not far away and ordered his men to find someone. He handed the teacup he had been holding for a while to Yuan Ge without drinking it. Without turning his head, he asked casually, "What do you think?"

Yuan Ge held the teacup to warm his hands. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What is Mr. Yin's status in the city?"

"He is a wealthy businessman. He is not a well-known person in Shengjing City, where a stone thrown from here can easily hit an official appointed by the imperial court. But he had a daughter when he was old, and now that she is lost, he goes to the government office to cry and complain every day, and this is why everyone knows about it... You can ask Wen Peiji about this, he should know better."

"That's even weirder." Yuan Ge watched Song Wenyuan walk over here after giving Lin Muyanhuo his orders, and analyzed softly, "Most of these missing girls are of low status. Lord Yao should have guessed correctly that the other party didn't want to make a big deal out of it... But why did they suddenly attack the young lady of the Ouyang family at this critical juncture?"

Hearing this, Song Wenyuan said calmly, "Murder to silence the witness. Maybe Miss Zhong saw something she shouldn't have seen, or maybe she was targeting the Zhong family."

Xu Chengjin raised his eyes to look at him, "Why is it the Zhong family and not the Ouyang family?"

What is there for the Ouyang family to gain? They have some money, but not much, and some power, but not much.

"It's my intuition." Song Wenyuan didn't explain much. He raised his hand to stroke Yuan Ge's hair, took out a hairpin from his arms, gestured with her hair for a few times, and then handed it to her. "Do you like it? It's made according to your previous hairpin. Your hairpin was broken in Wuxi Mountain... Now the city is not peaceful, I asked someone to make a little mechanism, you can play with it yourself when you go back."

The hairpin was almost the same as before, but it felt much lighter. Yuan Ge weighed it and asked with a smile, "Is the hairpin hollow?"

"Yes, so it's relatively not that strong... I thought you had smeared poison on the hairpin before. After all, you wear it every day. If you are not careful, it may hurt yourself. So I had someone make a mechanism and hide it inside. You can just press the mechanism when you need it. You should familiarize yourself with it when you have time." The hairpin was picked up by Yao Yunfeng and handed to him. In fact, it was just a broken Lycoris radiata flower, which could be restored to its original state with a little repair, but he noticed the poison on the hairpin, so he had such an idea.

Yao Yunfeng also said that Old Shi had found a small amount of poison in the woman's body. It was not fatal, but it could paralyze people instantly and make them unable to resist. For this reason, Old Shi chased him for a long time to find out who owned the hairpin and where the poison came from. He also said that the Qi-dissolving powder on the market was not worthy of being compared with it. Song Wenyuan was surprised, but he also gave a reason that sounded very logical, "The lady was scared since she was in danger on the street last time, and she kept asking me to get it from Xu Chengjin."

As for where the poison came from, no one mentioned it since then, and Song Wenyuan did not investigate. He just thought that his wife was gifted and learned it by herself. At this moment, he spoke frankly without any concealment.

Yuan Ge took it with a smile, "Thank you very much, husband."

One doesn't ask, the other doesn't tell, just like the eldest daughter of the Wen family is good at making poisons and studying medicine, it should be so.

"You actually know how to help the evil." Xu Chengjin shook his head repeatedly.

It was hard to say whether Mr. Song's intuition was accurate, but the news kept coming in. The good news was that the missing girl from Mr. Yin's family had been found, but the bad news was... she was dead.

The little girl was found beside a creek in Wuxi Mountain. She was naked and her body was covered with wounds. It is said that when the people from the government office found her, they saw two wolves circling around her, as if evaluating the delicious meals they had had in the past few days.

When Yuan Ge saw the girl's body, his face turned pale. He covered his mouth and nose and tilted his head. The girl's body was covered with bruises and scrapes, and her pale skin was torn by the sharp teeth of wild beasts, revealing the white bones underneath.

The coroner in charge of the autopsy was still Old Shi. When he saw the three people coming in, he was slightly stunned, and then sighed, "The little girl and Cheng Jin are here, that's good, come and take a look... I don't know who would treat a little girl so cruelly."

Taking the dried plums handed over by Song Wenyuan, Yuan Ge stepped forward to take a look, and almost shuddered all over - the fatal wound was on the heart. The wound was very strange, a blood hole as thick as a little finger. At this moment, no blood was flowing out, and the white blood was exposed there, as if some ferocious beast was hidden inside.

This girl... was actually drained of all her blood and died!
