Seeing her like this, Li Lianhua immediately put her arm around her and walked towards the door.

On the other side, when the guards heard Xiao Er shout "blood," they immediately rushed upstairs, knocked on the door, but heard no sound coming from inside. Their hearts tightened, and they broke down the door, only to find the room empty.

"Second Miss, where is the Second Miss?!"

"We were all keeping watch at the stairwell, and we didn't see the Second Miss come out!" Indeed, if the Second Miss had gone out, they would definitely have seen her. Now that she's gone, how are they going to explain themselves?

Hearing the commotion outside from another room, and then hearing the guards shouting for the Second Miss, Yun Jiao came out of her room and immediately asked the guards, "Where's Qiu Shuang? Where's Qiu Shuang?"

"Someone just died, and the Second Miss is missing now. Could she have been taken away by that bloody footprint?" a guard said.

The leader immediately shouted, "Search! Don't miss a single corner!"

Li Lianhua and the others stood still; moving around now would be a bad idea. Judging from the situation, the guards of Yucheng were determined to find Yu Qiushuang.

"Sigh~ What a pity. She's already dead. Xiao Kou, you know, Yu Qiushuang is really pitiful. Her own sister is with her fiancé, and her best friend is with her brother-in-law."

She was left all alone, and then she was murdered by her brother-in-law—that's tragic enough.

[Yes, I never expected it to turn out like this. Sigh~] Xiao Kou feels sorry for this person. Although he had a bad temper, he shouldn't have died like this.

[I have something shocking to tell you: in the original story, these two weren't Yu Qiushuang's sister and brother-in-law at all, they were her biological parents! The editors only changed them to sister and brother-in-law to get it approved.]

【My God! This is so disgusting!】 Xiao Kou was stunned. It was already disgusting enough, but it didn't expect it to be even more disgusting than the original.

Li Lianhua: !!!

Li Lianhua was also stunned. Yu Qiushuang was indeed quite pitiful. To be able to harm one's own daughter—if they weren't husband and wife, these two were birds of a feather.

While they were thinking, the guards barged into the rooms one by one. The guests inside dared not speak out; they were powerless and still on Jade City's territory. If any conflict broke out, the people of Jade City could easily pin a crime on them, and they would be at a great loss.

The guards burst into a room filled with boxes, and Li Lianhua and her companions were swept along by the flow of people.

Judging from the appearance of the room, you can tell it's a security escort agency.

There were several bodyguards in the room. One of them, dressed differently from the others, came out, clasped his hands, and asked, "I am Cheng Yunhe, the chief bodyguard of Hexing Escort Agency. Judging from your attire, you must be guards from Yucheng. We have always kept to ourselves. May I ask what brings you into our room?"

The guard immediately stepped forward to explain, "My second young lady has gone missing, which is why we searched the inn. Please forgive us if we have offended anyone."

Upon hearing that it was the Second Miss Yucheng who had gone missing, it was only natural that they had come to look for her, so they stopped worrying about it. "As you can all see, there are only a few bodyguards from our escort agency in this room, not the Second Miss you are looking for."

The guards noticed the boxes nearby and waved their hands, saying, "Open them!" They had to open even the smallest box to check it; the Second Miss's safety was of utmost importance, and no place could be overlooked!

Upon seeing this, Cheng Yunhe immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Heh~ friend, we're all just trying to make a living in the martial world. This shipment can't be opened until it reaches its destination. That's our rule. Besides, look, there's a wax seal personally sealed by the employer, and the date on it hasn't been removed. The second young lady you mentioned couldn't possibly bypass these wax seals and just crawl into the shipment box, right?"

The guards didn't care about anything else; finding the second young lady was the top priority. "My second young lady has gone missing and her whereabouts are unknown. This cargo box of yours is highly suspicious. If you don't open it, we will not let this matter rest today!"

The entire inn was searched. It's impossible for someone to just vanish without a trace. This cargo box is the only place in the entire inn where someone could hide.

"Let's see who dares!" Normally he might have done him a favor, but this time it was simply impossible.

The bodyguard beside him immediately stepped forward and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Chief bodyguard, this is Jade City territory. If we make a move now, we'll probably all die here."

Which situation is more important right now?
