When Changbai and Changyun accompanied Su Yi past this place, they saw the chaos in the distance. The three of them quickly reached the door by tiptoeing.

The crying parents and screaming children were in complete chaos. In a daze, Su Yi saw a familiar woman carrying a girl and walking away quickly. Her familiar face was covered with tears and anxiety.

Looking in her direction, I couldn't see anything.

Su Yi acted faster than he thought, already pushing through the bustling crowd to grab the woman's hand, "Huanhuan!"

Hearing the voice, Liu Huan turned around, grabbed the man's hand, and cried out, "The child! The child has been taken away! Quick, save him!"

Before Su Yi could think of anything else, he chased after her in the direction she indicated, which was outside the city gate.

When they tried to give chase, they were stopped by the others who had stayed behind. "Your Excellency, don't chase after him. To tell you the truth, we are determined to have this child. If you don't want to harm innocent people, you'd better give up this idea."

Seeing that they were gradually losing ground, and with Changbai's group arriving with soldiers, they asked, "Master, where are they?"

"They've gone out of the city; we must find them at all costs."

A large number of officers and soldiers chased after them, but hesitated at the fork in the road. They had no choice but to follow the tracks left by the cart wheels and found a horse-drawn carriage in a forest.

Inside were several kidnapped children. "Head guard, the children are here."

Changbai immediately checked all the children. "It's not him. Keep chasing!"

The enemy's diversionary tactic chilled Changbai's heart; he couldn't even imagine how devastated his wife would be if she found out their child was missing.

"The chief guard and those thieves have run towards Wuji Mountain."

Su Yi gathered all the soldiers in the city and attacked Wuji Mountain together, only to find that the mountain was already deserted.

There were still many people left in the room, including two students dressed in school uniforms, Zhang Gouwa, and several girls and women who were imprisoned in the room.

"I'm asking you, where are the others?"

Zhang Gouwa was so scared he almost wet his pants. "I...I...I don't know either! I was also dragged here. Officer, please save me!"

Su Yi threw him to the ground and squatted down, panting weakly.

After capturing several people around the manor, Changbai had no choice but to come to Su Yi and say, "Master, we captured a few people in other places. They are all men from Nanchang County. According to them, their leader and second leader have already run away with the goods and a child and have not returned."

Su Yi felt utterly devastated and her whole body turned ice-cold. "Did they say which direction they went?"

"I don't know. They said they were also deceived. They were originally told to come up here to hide. They even said that no money was left for them."

Su Yi had completely regained his composure when he stood up. "Take them all away and lock them in jail. I want to interrogate them myself."

Zhang Gouwa, kneeling on the ground outside, cried out, "Thank you so much, Your Honor, for saving my life! Otherwise, I don't know how long I would have been imprisoned."

Seeing how thin and frail he was, and how he looked like he couldn't do anything, Su Yi originally planned to let him go.

Suddenly, a woman walking by turned around, knelt down in front of Su Yi, and said, "Sir, this man is no good. That day I heard him tell the bandit leader that the widow in their village was very rich and had twins, and asked the bandits to steal them."

Changbai was shocked to hear this and kicked Zhang Gouwa to the ground as he tried to escape.

"master……"

Su Yi clenched his fist, struggling to control his urge to strangle him, and said in a deep voice, "Take him back and lock him up in a separate room. Don't let him die."

Zhang Gouwa then began to fear, saying, "Sir, I have been wronged. I did nothing wrong!"

Changbai stood beside Su Yi, waiting for his order to rescue the young master.

Before Su Yi could finish giving his order, he was stopped by soldiers who rushed over. "Sir, several families in the city have been robbed, including the Ermo brothers' family."

Upon hearing this, Changbai looked up abruptly, "Master, it's Madam..."

Upon hearing this, Su Yi stared intently at him for a moment with eyes like a hawk, then flew away and disappeared from the spot.

Changbai disregarded everything else and gave chase, while Changyun stayed behind to lead the other officers and soldiers in cleaning up the mess.

After Su Yi descended the mountain, Changbai followed on horseback. The two remained silent the entire way. Once in the city, Changbai took the initiative to lead the way and brought Su Yi to the Liu family.

When Su Yi saw that the Liu family's residence and the yamen were only one street apart, his heart clenched painfully.

He entered stiffly, looking at the mess in the yard, the woman sitting on the ground, and the little girl next to her, unable to utter a sound.

Hearing the noise, Liu Huan turned around, crawled to Su Yi on all fours, and stood up, her lips trembling as she softly asked, "Where's the child?"

Seeing the man's ashen face, she asked Changbai again, unwilling to give up, "Where is Anzhi, Changbai?"

"Madam and young master have been taken away by thieves."

Upon hearing this, Liu Huan collapsed to the ground again, shouting excitedly, "Then why did you come back? Why didn't you go look for them?"

An Ran stood there dumbfounded, clearly quite frightened, trembling involuntarily at the sound of her roar.

After shouting, Liu Huan felt oxygen deprivation in his brain, his mind went blank, and then everything went black.

Su Yi put his arm around the person and said, "Go and call the doctor."

Ermo came out of the house, dragging her injured body, and came to Su Yi. "Master, please carry my sister and come with me."

Anran then came to her senses and timidly called out, "Mother~"

Changbai picked her up in one go, "It's alright, baby, let's go inside."

"Madam fainted due to a significant shock. She will be fine after waking up and taking her medication. However, we need to pay close attention to her emotional changes to prevent her from doing anything irreversible."

The doctor had also heard about what happened at the academy gate and the robbery of the Liu family, and he spoke with sympathy.

Su Yi looked at the familiar face and couldn't bear to leave, but he knew he had more important things to do.

He held Liu Huan's hand tenderly, "Don't worry, I will definitely find my son."

After going outside, he saw Anran crying in Changbai's arms. He took her and held her gently in his arms. Anran cried anxiously, wanting to find her mother and brother. Su Yi brushed the hair from her forehead.

She said very seriously, "Don't worry, I will definitely go and find my brother."

Su Yi summoned Ermo to find out what had happened at the Liu family's house that day.

Ermo then recounted what had happened that day.

"Qiu Rong and Qiu Ju were injured protecting their sister, and Xiao Lan and Xiao Hei were also injured to varying degrees. If I hadn't rushed back with my men, who knows..."

Maybe everyone already knows.

"Go and buy a few more servants and take good care of them. When she wakes up, tell her that I will definitely go and bring Anzhi back."

As he spoke, he put Anran down. "Anran, when your mother wakes up, remember to take good care of her. I'll be back soon."

Anran sobbed blankly, as if she hadn't understood.

Su Yi took Changbai out and stayed away for several days.
