The woman who had left soon returned, followed by a man dressed in black with a ghost mask on his face.

He held a wooden bucket filled with water and placed it respectfully in front of Xu Changchong.

The young woman beside her said, "Master, let me serve Miss Bai."

Xu Changchong remained silent, reached out to test the water temperature, and after confirming it wasn't too hot, looked up at Bai Qianmo: "Soaking your feet helps to loosen the meridians."

Bai Qianmo stared at him warily, showing no intention of moving.

The woman beside her frowned and glanced at Bai Qianmo with a cold look in her eyes.

Didn't you hear what your master said?

"Get out!" Xu Changchong said coldly.

The woman was stunned, staring at the man in front of her in disbelief.

"Owner……"

"Didn't you understand?"

The woman glared at Bai Qianmo resentfully, suppressed the hatred in her heart, and lowered her eyes: "Yes!"

After the woman and the masked man in black left, only the two of them remained in the room.

Xu Changchong reached out and grabbed her ankle. Bai Qianmo raised her hand to strike his face, but he nimbly dodged to the side. He increased the force on his wrist, and with a little force, his pair of fair and delicate feet were pulled into the wooden tub.

Bai Qianmo was thrown forward by the force of the impact, but Xu Changchong caught her with his other hand.

Bai Qianmo was secretly annoyed, and a cold glint shot out from her eyes.

"What drug did you give me?"

She can't muster any energy at all now.

"It's just a kind of anesthetic to make you behave, and it won't have any side effects. Your body is cold, and you often have headaches. Before, whenever you had a headache, you would ask me to comb your hair with a comb, which helped relieve the pain."

“That’s not me!” Bai Qianmo interrupted him coldly.

This man must be possessed, insisting on forcing Xu Jin'en's memories onto her.

“Xu Changchong, I don’t know why you insist that I am Xu Jin’en. It’s a pity that Xu Jin’en died a long time ago. She did not continue to live in this world like you. Maybe I look like her, but I am not her.”

"That's not important. Whether you're Jin'en or Qianmo doesn't matter; it's just an empty title..."

Xu Changchong carefully massaged the back of her foot, his gaze focused and gentle.

Bai Qianmo suddenly felt a little helpless. She had to admit that Xu Changchong was a madman. He could kill people like flies and be as cold-blooded as a demon, but he had a special obsession with Xu Jin'en.

“I can do it myself!” Bai Qianmo placed her feet in the wooden tub, avoiding his hands.

Xu Changchong's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness, and he sighed softly: "Qianmo, it doesn't matter who you are. In my heart, you are you, the one and only you."

*

You are you, unique and irreplaceable...

Bai Qianmo stood at the window, gazing at the dense forest in the distance, where rows of tombstones stood, looking quite old.

She wasn't sure where she was, but judging from the inscription on the tombstone, it should still be in the capital area.

It was already 3 p.m. Xu Changchong had left in the morning after she had soaked her feet.

She tried to escape, but found that she not only had no strength, but she couldn't even muster any energy.

Her room was on the second floor, and there were two men in black cloaks guarding the door. Although she didn't go out, it was obvious that someone was keeping a close watch on the door.

She's been missing for so long, Gu Jueye must be searching for her everywhere.

*

Gu Jueye didn't sleep for a day and a night. He checked all the surveillance footage in the area near Jinyu Huating, but still couldn't find Bai Qianmo. After a night of agonizing waiting, his face grew colder and colder.

Bureau A

Luo Cheng frowned deeply, glancing at the man sitting opposite him every now and then.

"My lord, all our men have been mobilized. Would you like to go back and rest now? We will inform you immediately once we have news of Qianmo."

Gu Jueye remained silent, his thin lips pressed tightly together, his eyes filled with a sharp, cold light.

Luo Cheng guiltily looked away and picked up the water glass in front of him to take a sip of tea.

"Qianmo is so capable, she definitely won't get into trouble."

"The only one who could appear out of nowhere and take her away is Zhao Guofeng."

Luo Cheng's heart sank: "If it's Zhao Guofeng, then this is going to be very troublesome."

Gu Jueye's expression grew increasingly cold: "Even if we have to turn the capital upside down, we must find him today."

He couldn't wait passively any longer; every moment he couldn't find her, her danger would increase.

If he hadn't rushed off yesterday, but instead stayed home with her to clean the house, go grocery shopping together, and cook dinner together, perhaps she wouldn't have disappeared.

The door was open, indicating that the other person entered the room through the door.

Someone as shrewd as her wouldn't have opened the door so unguarded unless she mistakenly thought he had returned.

Thinking of this, a deep sense of self-reproach tore at his heart. The day's wait had worn away all his patience. If he couldn't find her again, he would really go crazy.

*

The spirit finally made contact with the magician and headed straight for his residence.

"Weren't you secretly protecting her all along? How could you not know about her disappearance, such a serious matter?"

Fang Shu looked at Yin Ling with an unusually calm expression: "I know."

The spirit stared at the man before her incredulously: "You knew? You knew and yet you didn't try to save her? Tell me, where did she go? Could it really be Zhao Guofeng who kidnapped her?"

Fang Shu scoffed dismissively, his cold, handsome face full of mockery.
