"Okay, very good!" Situ Yao laughed. "I didn't expect her to dislike me so much. If that's the case, I'll see if you have the ability to escape from my grasp!"
Yun Fu was a little afraid of Situ Yao's current appearance. He glared at the talkative Cui Mixue and stammered, "Prince brother, what Cui Mixue said may not be true. The most urgent thing is to find Su Mengyan as soon as possible."
"I will bring her back personally tomorrow!" Situ Yao didn't care whether there were people from the Bai family outside. He wanted to use all means to find that person.
Where no one could see, Cui Mixue curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled.
God gave her a chance to start over in life. Situ Yao was destined to be hers, and no one could take him away! Her usually gentle eyes were now filled with shocking ambition.
After Su Mengyan learned that Bai Tianqingfeng and his companions had come to the inn, she planned to leave the city at night. She was not sure whether Situ Yao would arrange for someone to stay at the city gate, but it was safer at night than during the day.
"Are you sure this is the place?" A voice came from outside.
"It's here. I saw the prince's personal guards coming here several times. And I have been following them secretly. It is definitely her." Another person was very proud.
Just as Su Mengyan heard this, the door was roughly pushed open. Before she could react, she was knocked unconscious from behind.
The next day, Situ Yao brought his men to the inn where Su Mengyan was staying. When Qingfeng told him about the strange woman with tuberculosis, he suspected that it was Su Mengyan in disguise.
So he ignored the waiter's obstruction and pushed the door open without saying a word. There was no one inside.
The man caught up with them breathlessly, saying incoherently, "There really is a consumptive patient living in there. If you rush in now, you will be infected."
After he finished speaking, he saw the empty house and shouted in surprise, "Where are the people?"
"It was still there last night." The guy said curiously.
Situ Yao saw the bundle left on the table, which contained Su Mengyan's things. Now he was sure that the person living here was her!
"Are you sure she was still here last night?" Situ Yao asked coldly.
The waiter was frightened by the invisible aura of majesty he exuded, and his face turned pale. "I, when I came to deliver the meal last night, this guest was still there."
"Have you ever seen her go out?" Situ Yao asked, and the guy shook his head.
"The fact that she's packed her bags proves she's ready to leave." Situ Yao guessed that Su Mengyan must have planned to flee overnight, but what happened next? How could she have disappeared for no apparent reason?
"Master, someone has been here." Qing Feng found a footprint at the window, "Someone jumped from here."
"Miss Su was taken away!" Qing Feng blamed himself very much. The person was right in front of him yesterday, but none of them noticed it, which led to Miss Su being taken away now.
Situ Yao's expression changed, and he drove the troublemaker out. "Have any members of the Bai family appeared in the city?"
"I don't know." Qing Feng answered with his head down, not daring to look at Situ Yao's face that was about to get angry.
"Keep looking!" Situ Yao was not idle either. He searched the house but found no clues, not even any signs of struggle.
Su Mengyan was knocked unconscious and taken away, so it was difficult for her to leave behind anything useful.
Situ Yao sat there with a grim expression, thinking of all the possible places, and immediately sent his personal guards out to look for it.
But who could it be? He found Su Mengyan before them and took her away.
Situ Yao bent his slender fingers slightly, supporting his forehead with a frown.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air behind him. Situ Yao moved swiftly and dodged to the side. An arrow passed by his shoulder, penetrated the pillar of the inn, and nailed a yellowed paper to it.
Situ Yao did not rush to take it, but observed the surrounding situation and made sure that the person who attacked him secretly had left before taking the arrow.
The tip of the arrow glowed blue, clearly carrying a deadly poison. He was aiming for Situ Yao's life; if he had been distracted just now, he might have lost his life.
"Three quarters past the hour of You, at a temple outside the city," there were only eight words on the paper.
If it were the old Situ Yao, he would have thrown it away with disdain. But now, any clue could be related to Su Mengyan, so he dared not be careless.
While he was thinking, the second arrow delivered another letter in the same way.
It just said, "Going to an appointment alone."
Although nothing else was said, the threat was evident everywhere.
Situ Yao angrily crumpled the two letters into a ball and tossed them aside. As a prince and crown prince, he had naturally received numerous threats. But none of them had ever left him feeling as powerless as this.
"Qingfeng!" Situ Yao called out, and Qingfeng came in immediately. "What do you want, sir?"
"Send someone to check if there are any people with strong martial arts skills around." Situ Yao stared at the two arrows in front of him that were glowing blue, and his face looked a little weird.
Qing Feng immediately sent people after her. When he came back and saw the paper ball on the ground, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Any news about Miss Su?"
Although the letter said that Situ Yao should go to the appointment alone, there was no way he would actually do that.
This was obviously a trap. If he really went there alone, not only would he fail to save Su Mengyan, he might also lose his own life.
Situ Yao and Qingfeng told each other the contents of the letter, and after learning the specific location of the temple outside the city, they made careful arrangements.
At that time, not only will Su Mengyan be rescued, but all those who threaten him can also be caught in one fell swoop.
When Su Mengyan woke up, she found that her hands and feet were tied and her mouth was covered, so she could only make whimpering sounds.
The person guarding the dilapidated temple came in, saw her restless look, and slapped her directly, "Be quiet!"
"Wuwuwu..." Su Mengyan continued to struggle regardless of her swollen face.
"Third brother, take the thing out of her mouth." said another more polite person.
"Who are you?" Su Mengyan found that this was a dilapidated temple. These two people did not look like bandits. Moreover, before she fell into a coma last night, she seemed to hear them mention Situ Yao. Is this matter related to him?
"Miss, don't panic. We two brothers just want to borrow your help to lure Situ Yao here." He called out the name of the crown prince directly, with no respect on his face, only deep hatred.
Su Mengyan tried her best to remain calm, and smiled, "You've got the wrong person. I'm just a small concubine of His Highness, and he gave me to the genius doctor Xiaoyaozi for the Purple Jade Lotus. Even if you capture me, His Highness won't come."
