Chapter 552: Almost Dead (5)

Feng Anning was going crazy. She had simply gone to the restaurant to ask the waiter if he had seen her cat-eye hairpin, and when she came back downstairs, she found her carriage gone, and everyone around her was pointing and talking. She sent her maid to investigate, and found out that someone had actually robbed her carriage.

And in that carriage, there were Shen Miao and Luo Tan!

Soon, the remaining two guards returned, but they hadn't tracked down the carriage. Feng An Ning looked at the dusty hairpin on the ground and closed her eyes. Even if she was usually heartless, she knew what was going on. Today's events were all planned! Someone had infiltrated the Feng family's guards just to kidnap Shen Miao and Luo Tan.

Who were Shen Miao and Luo Tan? One was Shen Xin's legitimate daughter, and the other was Luo Xueyan's niece. Regardless of which one, they were both well-known figures in Dingjing City. If someone dared to plot against them, it meant that they were willing to take such a huge risk. Shen Miao and the others were definitely in great danger.

Feng An Ning trembled all over at the thought. It was she who invited Shen Miao and Luo Tan to visit Dingjing, it was she who brought the guards, and it was she who had to stop at the restaurant on the way. If she hadn't gone back to look for the hairpin, a few more guards might have stopped the murderers. If she hadn't been so fussy and agreed to let Shen Miao bring some of the Shen Mansion's guards, this wouldn't have happened. If she hadn't invited Shen Miao, today wouldn't have happened at all!

It's her, it's all her fault!

Feng An Ning's body was shaky and the maid beside her was startled when she saw this. She quickly stepped forward to support her and said, "Young lady, please don't blame yourself. If you hurt yourself, the master and the mistress will be heartbroken if they see it."

Feng An Ning shook her head and smiled bitterly, "My parents would be distressed if I were like this. What would Madam Shen and General Shen do if they knew about Shen Miao and Luo Tan? Even if they killed me, they couldn't make up for the mistake I made." She covered her face and for the first time, regardless of her status, she burst into tears in the restaurant, in front of everyone.

"What's going on? Where's Jiaojiao? Where's Cousin Tan?" Suddenly, a solemn male voice rang out from outside the restaurant. Feng Anning released her hand, and saw Shen Qiu striding in, followed by a group of soldiers. Each of them was so imposing and impressive that everyone in the restaurant couldn't help but flinch.

Chen Qiu left his post early today, intending to return home to ask Chen Miao and Luo Tan if they wanted to go hunting together the next day. However, before he even got home, he heard his men come to report that Chen Miao and Luo Tan had gone out with Feng An Ning today and had an accident downstairs in the restaurant.

Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan hadn't returned home yet, so naturally they didn't know the news. Shen Qiu rushed over without stopping after hearing about it. Who knew he'd see a gloomy atmosphere in the restaurant, with the spoiled young lady of the Feng family weeping in the middle of it? Suddenly, a foreboding premonition welled up in Shen Qiu's heart.

He strode up to Feng Anning and asked, "What happened?"

Feng An Ning was stunned. Shen Qiu was standing in front of him. He was tall, but his eyes were full of anxiety. Feng An Ning was suddenly speechless.

Shen Qiu and Shen Miao had a good relationship, and this was a fact known to everyone. For Shen Miao, Shen Qiu was willing to kill or set fire to anything. If Shen Qiu knew that Shen Miao had been abducted...

Her face was grim as she spoke with difficulty, "After visiting the shops with Chen Miao and Luo Tan, we returned to the restaurant to get some things. Chen Miao and Luo Tan stayed in the carriage... There were spies among the Feng Mansion guards. They hijacked the carriage, along with Chen Miao and Luo Tan. I've asked my father to send people to investigate secretly, but..." Feng An Ning fought back tears, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Shen Qiu didn't even look at Feng An Ning, but everyone saw him clench his fists suddenly, and they could even hear the crackling of his joints.
