Chapter 223 Farewell

"Someone come!"

Han Liping shouted, and immediately a servant ran in.

"Go outside and see what's going on?"

"Yes, City Lord." The servant stepped out.

Su Chengnan glanced at Qingshan with confidence, continued to drink tea, and waited for news from Liang Yaoping.

This Liang Yaoping was the person Su Weimin had arranged in Ningguta in advance. He was an upright person, well-educated and had practiced martial arts. In the words of her stepfather, this person could gain the trust of the civil officials and criminals, and he was tough and resilient, making him an excellent candidate for gathering information.

But after waiting for so long, no news came back.

Su Chengnan began to worry that her father might have made a mistake in his judgment and that this person had passed away due to torture.

At this time, a bright figure ran over from a distance.

It’s Butler Wang who’s back.

"City Lord, City Lord, I'm back."

"Have you found out clearly what I asked you to do?" Han Liping asked.

"I have already asked clearly."

"Why don't you tell Miss Su and Mr. Sun quickly!"

"Yes, City Lord."

Steward Wang turned on his toes, bowed his head and faced Su Chengnan, "My two nobles, this Liang Yaoping is serving in Meishan. He accidentally broke his leg a few days ago. He can't move now and is recuperating."

"Broken leg?" Su Chengnan raised his eyelids and looked over.

"Yes, miss. He missed a step and rolled down from a height. Fortunately, he was wearing thicker clothes in winter, otherwise his legs would have been broken."

Qingshan interrupted and asked on behalf of Su Chengnan: "Where is he now? Where are his family members?"

Steward Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The Liang family members have been assigned to different places to serve, and the tasks they do are different, so we won't be able to get all the accurate information for a while..."

"Hmm?" The smile on Qingshan's face disappeared, replaced by a frosty look.

Su Chengnan couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw this. After all, this man had been with the acting genius Lu Chaofeng for many years. His attitude could change with just a gesture or a breath, and his temperament was completely different. He has truly inherited all the true skills from his family's eldest son.

When Butler Wang was stared at by him, his body became a little weak and he quickly looked to Han Liping for help.

Han Liping's eyebrows flickered slightly, as if he was disgusted with his uselessness. He quickly winked at him and scolded him, "Useless thing, you can't even handle such a small matter! Hurry up and fetch Liang Yaoping's children and let Miss Su question them in person."

Steward Wang knelt down with a thud, "City Lord, please spare me, Miss Su, please spare me. The whereabouts of the Liang family's children are unknown now. It's really... it's really impossible for us to come in a short time."

Su Chengnan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and his voice began to unconsciously become serious: "Why is he missing? When was he lost? Have you looked for him?"

Qingshan added in time: "Tell me! The Liang family is Miss Su's family. The prince specially prepared a gift. If I can't give this gift, I'm afraid I won't be able to report it to the boss."

When Han Liping heard this, he quickly tried to smooth things over, "Don't worry, don't worry. Although Ningguta is remote and near the border, we want to prevent prisoners from escaping privately, so the guards are always very strict. No one will be lost, don't worry."

"City Lord, but this steward Wang just said clearly that his whereabouts are unknown." Qingshan said sinisterly.

"I, I was wrong!" Steward Wang knocked his head and explained anxiously, "The person is not missing, but has not been found. Last night, they heard that Liang Yaoping broke his leg, so they wanted to go and check, but he sneaked out of the team, and we haven't found any trace of him yet."

"Yesterday? That means it's been a day and a night?" Sun Liangyuan asked.

"Almost. Ten hours have passed." Butler Wang's lips were almost touching the floor.

Su Chengnan and Sun Liangyuan looked at each other and exchanged opinions silently. Then she gently placed the teacup in her hand on the coffee table and stood up to speak.

"City Lord Han, in that case, we will not disturb you for now. If you have any news about the Liang family, please inform me in time."

"Okay, okay, no problem. I will definitely let you know! Don't worry too much, Miss Su. I believe they will be able to turn the danger into safety."

Su Chengnan nodded, "Thank you for your kind words, City Lord. Goodbye."

Sun Liangyuan also stood up and said, "Goodbye."

Han Liping sent the person to the door and looked very reluctant to leave. Sun Liangyuan asked him to stay, but he insisted on sending the person to the door of the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, outside the City Lord's Mansion, the Su family's convoy had already left, leaving only the luxurious carriage in which Su Chengnan was sitting quietly waiting.

Han Liping had lived in the capital for many years. He was knowledgeable about these things. He could tell at a glance that the carriage was not just a carriage for the royal palace. Such a carriage and horse were second only to the specifications of the prince.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that this Miss Su is the prince's concubine? But the prince is in poor health and I have never heard that he is fond of women. Could it be the new prince’s consort? But hearing the way the palace guards addressed her, this didn't seem right.

Su Chengnan didn't care what he was thinking. The fact that he personally sent her and others to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion today would be known to everyone in such a small place within two hours. This would be of great benefit to what she was going to do next!

"City Lord Han, please stay. We will leave first."

"Okay, my City Lord's Mansion is open to you all at any time. Feel free to come to me if you have any questions!"

"Okay, of course! We just bought a house today. Once we have settled in, we will invite the city lord and his wife to be our guests."

"Then it's a deal!"

"Okay, goodbye!"

Bingsan has already prepared the pedals.

Su Chengnan asked Mr. Sun to get on the carriage first, and then he went in.

After the carriage went farther and farther away, leaving the City Lord's Mansion completely behind, Sun Liangyuan asked, "Is this Liang Yaoping really your distant uncle?"

Su Chengnan smiled, "That's right, I didn't lie to him."

Sun Liangyuan sighed and was about to comfort her when Su Chengnan lifted the curtain without any worry and looked at the street scene.

After a long while, she said slowly, "Don't worry, sir. The people are not lost. I ordered people to hide them."

Sun Liangyuan was stunned. "Ah? This..."

Su Chengnan did not explain in time, but only said mysteriously: "Sir, don't worry, we will meet them in the evening, and you will understand everything!"

Sun Liangyuan nodded thoughtfully, "Okay."

It was indeed Su Chengnan who ordered Yi Er to take the person away.

She didn't believe Han Liping, so she had to find someone to ask about the real situation before she and her group entered the city, when Ningguta was still calm...
