Chapter 603 Bai Yuhan ran away

Xie Yun watched Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang leave before returning to the carriage, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go back to Wangyue Tower first."

Xie Yun returned to Wangyue Tower. Xie Minmin, seeing him return, asked, "Did you see Xie Shang and Jiang Fenghua?"

Xie Yun said, "I saw them. Xie Shang is protected by secret guards, so it's not easy to make a move. When I came back just now, I saw their carriage coming this way as well. Be careful."

Xie Minmin was originally going to see Jiang Fenghua, but she suddenly remembered that the guards around them had seen her in Hengyang Palace before, and that the guards were not very nice, so it was inconvenient for her to show herself.

At this moment, she was completely covered by a veil.

“They must have come to Wangyue Tower to find Bai Yuhan. Let’s find an opportunity to make our move and find a way to detain them,” Xie Minmin added.

Xie Yun said, "We can't reveal our Xie surname right now, we can't alert them. Besides, Father and Grandmother don't know our plans."

Xie Minmin also knew that she couldn't cause trouble for Prince Kang's mansion. Prince Kang's lineage had moved to the Northwest decades ago, and the people in the capital had long forgotten about them.

They wanted to leave the emperor and empress's bodies in Qingzhou so that they could never return to the capital.

At this moment, the maid Xuenu said anxiously, "Lady Miaoyin is missing. We've searched the entire restaurant, but we haven't found her."

Xie Minmin asked, "How could it be gone?"

“This afternoon, I personally fed her a sleeping potion and she has been sleeping in her room ever since. I also had people guarding her, but the servants probably thought she would sleep for a few hours, so they didn’t keep watch over her. When we went to wake her up for dinner just now, we found that there was no one in the room at all,” Xue Nu explained.

Xie Minmin said, "What if she regains her senses and runs away?"

Xue Nu said, "She's under my hypnosis, she shouldn't be awake..."

She carefully recalled her situation during the day, and there was nothing unusual about it. She never doubted her hypnosis.

Xie Yun said coldly, "Go look for her again. She shouldn't have gone far. We can't let her run into Xie Shang and Jiang Fenghua."

Bai Yuhan hid in the woodshed in the backyard, too afraid to come out. She only came to her senses after seeing Jiang Fenghua during the day. At that time, she didn't dare to make a scene because Xue Nu, the woman who captured her, was right beside her, and she had a special spell that made her obey her without her even realizing it.

She had heard of this kind of magic, it seemed to be called hypnosis. People under hypnosis would be completely obedient to others, and that's what she'd been feeling these days.

When Xue Nu fed her water, she originally wanted to pretend to drink, but Xue Nu was very cautious. She touched her neck with her hand, and the water slid down her throat, and then she fainted.

When she woke up, it was already dark. There was no one watching over her, so she escaped. But she was unfamiliar with the place and didn't dare to wander around.

She thought: Jiang Fenghua must have seen her. If she knew she had been kidnapped, she would definitely come to rescue her. She would stay in the restaurant, and Jiang Fenghua would definitely come to rescue her.

Just then, she saw the door to the woodshed being pushed open. She was terrified when she heard the door being pulled open. The room was originally pitch black, but someone came in with a lantern to get firewood. She was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

The person who had taken the firewood soon left.

Bai Yuhan was terrified. She didn't know what to do. Where could she find Jiang Fenghua? If Xue Nu knew she was missing, she would definitely search everywhere. She couldn't hide here anymore. What if they found her and killed her?

Bai Yuhan touched her neck; she was afraid of dying.

She had just come out of the woodshed when she encountered a man dressed in white at the door. Bai Yuhan instinctively wanted to hide, but the man suddenly stepped forward and said gently, "Who are you? What are you doing here alone?"

Bai Yuhan had only seen Xue Nu and her subordinates, and had never seen Xie Yun. When she heard a warm male voice, she was stunned and didn't know how to respond. She decided to run away first.

Xie Yun added, "I'm not a bad person. If it's inconvenient for you to say, I won't force you."

After he finished speaking, he made a move to leave. It was pitch black all around, and Bai Yuhan was terrified. She didn't see the fierce look that flashed in his eyes, and she quickly said, "Why is Young Master here?"

"I came looking for the outhouse, and I came to check after hearing the noise here." He explained, "I just saw two waiters leave from here. Are you being held here by them? Should I report it to the authorities for you? Qingzhou City is in chaos lately, and there are bad people everywhere who are abducting innocent women."

"Yes, I need to report this to the authorities." Only after his reminder did she remember to seek help from the government.

"Can you find the government office?" Xie Yun asked.

Bai Yuhan just wanted to cry. She couldn't find the government office, and she was being very cautious. "Young master, can you help me report this to the authorities? My friends are also in Qingzhou; I just got separated from them."

"I'll take you there!"

Bai Yuhan had never met a man who spoke so gently and warmly. She quickly said, "Thank you, young master."

Xie Yun tricked Bai Yuhan out of Wangyue Tower.

Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang entered the restaurant. It was lunchtime, but there weren't many people eating there. They asked the waiter about Miaoyin Niangzi.

The waiter, already bribed, said, "If you two wish to hear Lady Miaoyin preach, please come early tomorrow. Lady Miaoyin will be here tomorrow morning to meet those with affinity."

Xie Shang took out a silver ingot and placed it on the table. The waiter's eyes lit up and he quickly took the silver. "They have booked the entire third floor. If you want to see Lady Miaoyin, go to the third floor. But I just saw them rushing up and down the stairs, as if they were looking for someone."

Xie Shang placed another silver ingot on the table. "Who are you looking for? How many of them are there? How long have they been staying at Wangyue Tower?"

"Money makes the world go round," the waiter hurriedly said. "I dare not ask who they are looking for, but there are more than ten people. It's strange, they moved in seven days ago. The young lady in white has been acting like a dazed fool. This morning, the woman named Xue Nu suddenly announced that she was a disciple of Guanyin Bodhisattva. I think she's just bragging and trying to scam money. Qingzhou has suffered a natural disaster, and everyone is worried about more misfortune. Rumors are spreading everywhere, and people are in a state of panic!"

The waiter added, "Mistress Miaoyin was most likely abducted by them. They let her eat and sleep as they please. I don't know what kind of evil spirit she's possessed. Those people haven't called for food yet and are still looking for her everywhere."

Jiang Fenghua wondered to herself: Could it be that Bai Yuhan has run away?

She then asked the waiter to lead them around to search, but when they reached the backyard, there was no one there either.

Lin Feng led his men to the third floor, but was stopped by Xue Nu. "Who are you? This is not a place for you to trespass."

"Why can't I go in? I paid for this hotel room, I can stay in whichever room I want." Lin Feng walked in with a grin.

At this moment, a woman completely wrapped in silk came out of the room. "I'm afraid you can't go any further, young master. If you disturb Lady Miaoyin's meditation, the Bodhisattva will be displeased."
