Chapter 553: Almost Dead (6)

He took a deep breath, his voice calm as he instructed Mo Qing, "Report to the authorities, seal off the city, and find the man. The Shen family army will be dispatched immediately. Take my spirit tablet and pass on the order. Search the entire city. If you find the man, the Shen family will pay you ten thousand taels of gold!"

Ten thousand taels of gold! The people around gasped.

Feng Anning was also stunned by what he heard, but when he came to his senses, he felt even more remorseful and uncomfortable. Shen Qiu was willing to pay ten thousand taels of gold without blinking, which shows that Shen Miao is as precious as a pearl in his eyes. But now Shen Miao's life and death are uncertain. I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me. This is probably the truth.

Mo Qing's expression was also solemn. He turned around and took the order. Feng An Ning said, "Although reporting to the authorities can better warn the city, it will inevitably cause rumors in Dingjing, which will damage the reputation of Shen Miao and Luo Tan."

Feng Anning was a woman, so she naturally understood the importance of reputation to women. If the news of Shen Miao and Luo Tan being abducted by criminals were to get out, it would inevitably lead to malicious speculation from those with ulterior motives. Furthermore, the Shen family was not without enemies in Dingjing, and they could indeed be exploited.

Chen Qiu said: "Reputation is worthless compared to life. Even if their reputation is really damaged, what can the Shen family do to support them for the rest of their lives? It's not like they can't afford it."

He turned and walked out. Feng An Ning said, "I'm sorry. I'm responsible for everything that happened today. I'll definitely come and apologize someday."

"This matter has nothing to do with you," Shen Qiu said in a voice that was neither happy nor angry. "Those people came prepared. They attacked them even if they knew their identities. Even if it wasn't you, they would have found an opportunity to do it."

Feng An Ning felt a little comforted, but before she could say anything, she heard Shen Qiu's faint words again.

"But I'm sorry, seeing you makes me angry, so it's better for Miss Feng not to come to your house for the time being."

He strode away without looking back, leaving Feng Anning standing alone in the hall.

Outside, Ah Zhi asked Shen Qiu, "Young Master, why did you mobilize the Shen family army directly without asking for the opinions of Madam and Master?"

"What the hell are you asking!" Chen Qiu cursed. "Why do you have time to think about this now? Those people dared to take risks. Jiaojiao and cousin Tan are in great danger. They actually planned to take advantage of my Shen family. When I catch them, I will fucking kill them!" The young and gentle major general was undoubtedly furious at this moment. He jumped on his horse and said, "Go to Jingzhao Yin. Even if we have to turn Dingjing City upside down, we will find them!"

The news that Miss Shen and her cousin had been abducted by criminals in Dingjing City spread quickly throughout the capital. This was a fact that couldn't be concealed. Firstly, when Shen Miaoluotan was abducted, there were civilians watching, and some knew Feng Anning's identity. Secondly, the Jingzhao Yin, the city garrison, the government officials, the Shen family army, and the Feng family guards were all mobilized, creating such a large-scale incident that it was hard not to know.

Everyone knew that Chen Xin loved his daughter, but the way he loved her, the scene that nearly turned the entire Dingjing City upside down, still frightened many people. After Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin learned the news after leaving the court, they personally led their men to search every household.

He actually worked on it until late at night without stopping.

Xie Jingxing came back from outside and just arrived at the Rui Wang Mansion, he saw Ji Yushu and Gao Yang waiting inside. These two usually met at the Fengxian Pawnshop, and because of Gao Yang's sensitive status, generally speaking, they would not come to the Rui Wang Mansion together.

Xie Jingxing glanced at the two of them in surprise, then handed the item in his hand to Tieyi. The white tiger in the yard saw him come in, and excitedly pounced on Xie Jingxing's boots, biting his trouser legs affectionately.

Xie Jingxing bent down to wrap up the white tiger and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gao Yang glanced at Ji Yushu, who was staring at Baihu eagerly for a while before making up his mind and saying, "I have something to tell you."

"What happened?" Xie Jingxing had gone out of the city alone today, so he really didn't know what happened in Dingjing.

"The security situation in Dingjing has been a bit chaotic lately." Ji Yushu scratched his head, looking around and saying, "Today, a young lady was out for a stroll in the city. Right below the restaurant, one of the family's guards got into trouble and hijacked the carriage. There were two other young ladies from official families in the carriage. We still haven't found them."

Xie Jingxing stared at Ji Yushu.

Ji Yushu felt a little frightened by his gaze and said tremblingly, "Gao Yang and I want to remind you that your beauty is no less than those young ladies. You must be careful."

Xie Jingxing said calmly: "Ji Yushu."

"I say! You also know that person, it's Miss Shen Wu!" Ji Yushu spoke quickly, took a step back calmly, and hid behind Gao Yang.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"Where are the people?" Ji Yushu looked at the empty yard blankly. Only the white tiger was thrown to the ground and was howling in pain.

"Are you stupid?" Gao Yang looked at him coldly.

"As long as I'm smarter than you," Ji Yushu replied.

At the same time, Shen Qiu, who was searching all over the city for Shen Miao's whereabouts, received news that Luo Tan had been found.

Mo Qing said, "Miss Luo is dying."
