Chapter 524 Release the girl

"Miss Gu, I apologize for the inconvenience."

As he spoke, the man in black picked Gu Shuyan up from the bed and quickly left the Marquis's residence.

After discussing with Xu Yunzhi, Yun Yichen did not return directly to the Yun residence, but instead secretly took the medicine he had prepared into the Marquis's residence.

I thought Gu Shuyan would be fast asleep at this time, but when I went into the room, she was nowhere to be found.

"Wu Xin!" Yun Yichen shouted, but no one answered.

Yun Yichen panicked. Wuxin was the bodyguard he had arranged to protect Gu Shuyan. Now that Gu Shuyan was not around, even Wuxin had not reacted. Did this mean that something bad had happened to Gu Shuyan?

Yun Yichen didn't dare to delay any longer. He turned around and immediately left the North Courtyard, calling over the people from the Yun family. "Wuqing and Wuyu, you two immediately send people to check if Wuxin has left any marks. The rest of you, come with me."

After making the arrangements, Yun Yichen led his men to chase after them outside the city.

Although he didn't know what the other party would do, since they had kidnapped Gu Shuyan, they couldn't possibly hide her in the city. After all, the Gu family, the Ji family, and even he himself were not to be trifled with; no one would hide someone in the city unless they were stupid.

The only city gate closest to the Marquis's residence was the South Gate, so Yun Yichen immediately led his men to chase after it without hesitation.

Just as Yun Yichen had predicted, the man in black did not dare to hide Gu Shuyan in the capital, but instead took her out of the city.

In order to prevent Gu Shuyan from remembering the route, the man in black forced her to take a pill before leaving the city, causing her to fall into a deep sleep once again.

At dawn, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, the early birds were already chirping incessantly in the yard.

After receiving such difficult news yesterday, Gu Renjie slept poorly and felt drowsy.

Annoyed by the birds chirping outside the window, Gu Renjie simply put on his shoes and left the mansion.

At this time, even day laborers hadn't yet gone out to look for work, but Gu Renjie had already walked several streets.

"Young master, would you like a steamed bun? Freshly steamed hot buns." The vendor had just set up his stall and hadn't sold his first bun of the day yet, so he hurriedly called out to Gu Renjie.

Gu Renjie was already wandering aimlessly, and when he saw the steaming hot steamer, he simply walked over to it.

"A bowl of congee and a steamed bun." Gu Renjie said and sat down at the small table. The vendor, hearing this, happily brought over the congee and steamed bun.

At the end of the street, two burly men were dragging a little girl away. The girl resisted desperately, but how could she possibly fight against the two men?

"Please, please let me go!"

The woman had delicate skin and looked fragile, while the two burly men had menacing faces and were clearly not good people.

"Let you go? What will we eat if we let you go? Don't worry, with your delicate skin, we won't sell you to some kind of place where you have to do hard labor. Just wait and enjoy your life!"

The two men finished speaking and burst into laughter. Occasionally, passersby overheard them and couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy for the woman. They knew which place the two burly men were referring to as a place where they wouldn't do manual labor, but no one dared to interfere.

Gu Renjie sat by the roadside eating a steamed bun, feeling annoyed by the crying and wailing sounds. He had come out to find some peace and quiet, but it was even noisier than at home.

Before he could finish the steamed bun, Gu Renjie stood up from the stool, put the money on the table, and walked straight to a little beggar by the roadside with half a steamed bun in his hand.

Placing half a steamed bun and a copper coin in the bowl, Gu Renjie didn't even glance at the three men before heading straight back towards the Yi'an Marquis's residence.

The three people who were crying and pulling at each other were stunned by his smooth and effortless movements, and they all forgot what they were supposed to do.

As Gu Renjie walked away, the woman suddenly realized something, her sobs amplified a thousandfold, and she ran in the direction Gu Renjie had left.

"Help! Help me! Someone please help me!"

As soon as the woman ran, the two burly men were stunned for a moment before quickly giving chase.

The street, which should have been quiet in the morning, became lively as the three people chased it.

Not far away, a carriage was driving fast. The driver was completely unaware that a woman would suddenly rush out in front of him. He was so frightened that he pulled on the reins, and the horse lurched forward, causing the carriage to lurch violently.

"Miss, are you alright?"

The voice of a maid came from inside the carriage, startling the driver, who quickly apologized to those inside.

"It's alright, let's check if anyone is hurt first."

The woman's melodious voice reached Gu Renjie's ears, causing him to pause in his steps and turn back to look in the direction of the carriage.

A woman in white, supported by her maid, slowly stepped down from the carriage. Looking at the woman who had fallen to the ground, the young lady reached out her hand to her.

"Are you alright? Should we go to the clinic to check your injuries?"

The woman's voice was very pleasant, and the noisy street seemed to become less noisy because of her arrival.

"You little slut, you think you can run away? Just wait and see how we deal with you later."

Before the girl could speak, the two burly men caught up with her, grabbed her back, and threatened her viciously.

Who are you?

Seeing the girl's fearful expression and the two burly men's fierce looks, the woman in white immediately guessed that the girl was probably being coerced.

"Who we are is none of your business. Stop bothering us with your nonsense."

The burly man grabbed the girl and tried to leave, but the girl was clearly unwilling and looked at the woman with a pleading expression.

The little girl was sweet-looking, and when she made that expression, even a woman couldn't help but feel a little more sympathetic.

"Wait, where are you taking that girl? Can't you see she doesn't want to?" The woman in white stepped forward to stop them.

The burly man smiled wickedly upon hearing this, "Where to? To a brothel, of course! What, young lady, you want to go too?"

The burly man spat out excrement, and his gaze lingered unabashedly as he looked the woman in white up and down, his eyes filled with lewdness.

"How dare you speak to my Miss Jia like that!" The maid immediately stepped forward to defend her. Upon hearing this, the woman in white raised her hand and looked at the two with a somewhat unpleasant expression: "Release that girl, and I will give you whatever money you want."

Although the woman in white was also angry at the burly man's words, rescuing the woman from their clutches was the most important thing.

The two burly men were surprised by the woman in white's generosity. After exchanging a glance, one of them held up five fingers.

"Okay, I'll give it to you." Without thinking, the woman in white gave her maid a signal, and the maid immediately went back to the carriage to get the money.
