Chen Yuancheng gave Ling Qi a wink, and Ling Qi quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "Miss Xiao, don't worry. I've already sent someone to report to the authorities, and we'll definitely be able to find the girl who was kidnapped as soon as possible. Please go back to the restaurant and wait for news."

Chen Yuancheng also advised, "It's not a good idea for you to just stand here. According to Xin'er, those people don't seem very smart. They kidnapped someone in broad daylight, so they must have left some clues. We should be able to find that Miss Zheng soon."

Xin'er was quite frightened. She's still young; don't let her get sick from the shock. You go back to the restaurant and stay with Xin'er while we wait for news. I'll stay here and send someone to inform you as soon as we have any news.”

Xiao Yunying really couldn't help with finding someone, and she was also worried that Xin'er might develop some psychological trauma from the fright.

"Then I'll head back first, Yuancheng, thank you for your hard work."

"I'm just waiting for news here too, it's not hard work, you go ahead."

Xiao Yunying returned to the restaurant by herself. She tidied Luo Xin's hair, applied medicine to her scraped hands, and asked about some details.

The incident happened suddenly. Luo Xin heard Dai Jincai shout, "What do you want to do?" followed by the sound of fighting.

After she was dragged out, she saw those people holding Dai Jincai hostage and realized that she had encountered bad people.

Zheng Yunwan suddenly exerted her strength, rushed to the side of the person holding Luo Xin, and bit down hard on his arm, forcing him to let go.

Luo Xin collapsed to the ground, too frightened to move.

Dai Jincai also seized this opportunity to fight back.

The two girls simultaneously shouted for Luo Xin to run quickly and come find Xiao Yunying to save them. Only then did the little girl come to her senses, crawl under the carriage, and run out of the alley.

The carriage had a low chassis and was parked sideways, so the horse was startled and kept pacing back and forth, making it difficult for several adults to get over in a short time.

Luo Xin heard someone say, "Just catch Xiao Yunying," but she didn't dare turn around for fear of being caught. She ran all the way out of the alley before she dared to stop.

Luo Xin asked worriedly, "Mother, how are Sister Yunwan and Brother Jincai?"

Xiao Yunying was silent for a moment, then said, "Your brother Jincai is injured and has been sent to the clinic. Yunwan... she's gone."

Not wanting to cause trouble for her mother, Luo Xin forced back her tears and said, "Mother, don't worry. Sister Yunwan will definitely be found, and Brother Jincai will be alright too."

Xiao Yunying hugged Luo Xin tightly: "Xin'er is right, they will definitely be alright."

Not long after, someone brought news of Dai Jincai: his head injury was not fatal, and his leg bone was slightly fractured; he would be fine after proper rest.

Xiao Yunying breathed a sigh of relief. Dai Jincai was alright. Now she was just waiting for news from Zheng Yunwan.

After waiting anxiously for half an hour, a guard from the Chen family finally delivered a message saying that the person had been found.

Xiao Yunying had just relaxed when she saw the messenger's bad expression, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Is the person... still alive?"

The guard hurriedly said, "Miss Xiao, don't worry. That young lady is still alive and not in any danger. But... Miss Xiao, you should go and see her yourself."

Xiao Yunying's heart sank. In this situation, even if she survived, things probably wouldn't be much better.

Xiao Yunying didn't let Luo Xin follow, telling her to wait at the restaurant while she went with the guards to find Zheng Yunwan.

We arrived at the residential area in the west of the city by carriage. This place was mostly inhabited by poor people, and the surrounding environment did not look very good.

Some of the houses are even worse than the houses in their village. It's unclear whether it's because no one lives there or because there's no money to repair them.

As the carriage ventured deeper into the interior, Xiao Yunying's heart sank heavier and heavier.

Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a dilapidated little house. Xiao Yunying got off the carriage and went directly into the courtyard, which was guarded by government officials.

Chen Yuancheng was standing in the courtyard, talking to Ling Qi. Xiao Yunying went over and asked, "Yuancheng, where is Yunwan?"

"She's in...that room."

Xiao Yunying lifted her foot to go over, but Chen Yuancheng hurriedly stopped her: "Yunying... when you found Miss Zheng, she had already been... you..."

Seeing that Chen Yuancheng seemed hesitant and unsure of what to say, Xiao Yunying anxiously wanted to confirm Zheng Yunwan's condition, and didn't wait for him to finish speaking.

He glanced at the men who were being forced to kneel in the yard, thinking he would settle accounts with them later, and then stepped into the house.

With just one glance, Xiao Yunying's anger made her eyes red.

This was a woodshed. Zheng Yunwan huddled in the woodpile in the corner, hugging her legs with both hands. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were rumpled, and her eyes were staring blankly at the ground.

Her cheeks were red and swollen, indicating she had been beaten; there were scratches on the exposed skin of her neck, and bloodstains on the hem of her clothes.

Xiao Yunying then realized what Chen Yuancheng meant by what he had been trying to say in fits and starts.

"Yun Wan".

Xiao Yunying called her name softly, but Zheng Yunwan acted as if she hadn't heard her and didn't react at all.

Xiao Yunying carefully walked to Zheng Yunwan's side and slowly squatted down: "Yunwan?"

Zheng Yunwan still did not react.

Xiao Yunying choked up a little, and gently held Zheng Yunwan's hand, as if afraid that any big movement would frighten her.

"Yun Wan, don't be afraid, I'm here..."

As soon as she touched Zheng Yunwan's hand, she struggled to retreat into the pile of firewood, shouting loudly.

"Don't touch me! Don't touch me! None of you touch me!"

Xiao Yunying panicked for a moment, then hugged her tightly: "Yunwan, don't be afraid, I'm here, your sister Yunying is here, no one will hurt you, don't be afraid."

Zheng Yunwan kept retreating into the woodpile. During the struggle, a thin branch on her back scratched Xiao Yunying's cheek. Xiao Yunying didn't care and just kept comforting her.
