Chapter 117 Doubt
After waiting for a while, there was still no news from Gu Leyou.
The driver asked impatiently again, "Sir, why hasn't your wife come back yet? Are you going or not? If not, pay me the travel expenses as soon as possible."
Lu Yan wanted to get out of the car and look for the child as planned.
But he was stopped by Nan Qing.
She asked, "Brother, it's not convenient for a grown man like you to go to see my sister-in-law with a child. Let me go."
In order not to arouse suspicion, Lu Yan had to agree.
Nan Qing got off the carriage and went to look for him. After a while he came back, but he didn't bring the person with him, but he brought back a shoe.
Lu Yan looked at his wife's embroidered shoes and felt something was wrong. It seemed that his wife had been kidnapped by bad guys.
After all, they had agreed last night to ask the lady to run in the opposite direction of the carriage, but after such a long time there was no movement, and instead a shoe was lost.
Then there is only one possibility that he was captured by the bad guys.
So how did those bad guys know they would appear here? Someone must have tipped them off, and they only brought this girl with them along the way. Then my lady’s guess was correct, this girl is indeed a suspicious person.
Maybe what she said before is no longer credible.
As for where Gu Leyou was, these people had no idea.
Gu Leyou was indeed captured by the bad guys.
she. She originally wanted to squat in the bushes to see how her husband and the child would get out, but she didn't expect someone to cover her mouth from behind. After a while, she fainted.
Just like that, she was carried away.
After Nan Qing got on the carriage, she asked the driver to look around along the way, hoping to find any clues about her sister-in-law.
In fact, she was the one who arranged that person just to distract them.
It is estimated that when they reach the next location, the father and son will be in danger.
This is Gu Leyou.
She carried herself onto a carriage, which was heading in the opposite direction of where they had just been.
She hasn't woken up yet and has no idea where she was taken.
When she woke up, she saw a man in black with his face covered, only his eyes showing. He looked at her fiercely and said, "Just sit there and don't ask anything. As long as you listen to me, I won't kill you. Otherwise, I will kill you right away."
Gu Leyou refused to believe in evil, and she asked courageously, "Do you know what will happen if you work for them?"
The man in black was stupefied by this question. People like them make a living in the underworld by doing things for the powerful people in high positions. They live on the edge of a knife, so how can they be safe?
"What do you mean?" asked the man in black.
"In fact, if you let me go, I can ensure that you live a safe life. I am a doctor, and also a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken. It's useless for your master to capture me. I can't threaten his position. But if you do this, have you thought about your family and friends?"
In fact, people like them who do things for money generally have their family’s lives in the hands of these high-ranking people.
So they also have to work for people in high positions of power.
Even if these people don't care about their own lives, they still have to think about the lives of their families. After all, many people have elderly parents and young children to take care of.
They are all innocent people who should not be drawn into the war of this powerful man.
The man in black changed his mind and snorted coldly, "Don't scare me. You are nothing but a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken. You said you are just a doctor. How can you guarantee my safety? You can only fool a three-year-old child with such words."
"I'm a doctor. I can treat illnesses and injuries. I don't believe that your family doesn't have any illnesses or injuries and doesn't need a doctor. As long as you let me go, I can guarantee to treat your family. How about that? You'll make a profit on this deal."
The man in black was in a dilemma.
If he let the girl go, he would lose his life and the lives of his family.
After all, the lives of his family members are in the hands of his master behind the scenes.
He was a man of high rank and power. Was there no trustworthy doctor or imperial physician around him who could treat his family?
Gu Leyou saw his concerns and said, "You work hard for them, will they really be kind to your family? In their eyes, your family is nothing more than a bargaining chip to threaten you. If one day you are no longer useful, will they still send your family back safely?"
The man in black still wants to take a gamble.
Gu Leyou continued to persuade: "They are all very shrewd people. They will do anything for their own benefit. When you are no longer useful to them, your family is like an ant in their eyes. They want to step on an ant to death, so how can they let you go?"
The man in black thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the truth, but it was too late to regret now. After all, his family's lives were in the hands of those people. If he didn't obey, his family's lives would be in danger.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her anymore, Gu Leyou stopped trying to persuade her.
She asked: "How are you going to deal with me? Are you going to take me to your master behind the scenes to meet him? Or are you going to find a place to kill me?"
Obviously, the expression on the man in black's face showed the former. After all, if it was the latter, he would have killed her with a single knife when he caught her just now, and would not have brought her on the carriage.
On Lu Yan's side, the carriage they were riding in had already gone a long way away from the place they were riding in, but there was no trace left on the road.
Where did this lady go? If he couldn't find his wife, even if he escaped safely, he would not be able to explain to his father-in-law and mother-in-law when he returned. This was their biological daughter, and if she was missing, he would not even have the face to return to Gujia Village.
Nan Qing saw worry and clues on his face. Was this couple putting on a show for her? In order to help his wife escape, he even ignored such a young child. It seems that the Third Prince has a very bad vision, as he actually entrusted the child to such a man.
However, she didn't plan to expose them yet, and pretended to be concerned and asked, "Don't worry, brother, my sister-in-law will be fine. Someone must have played a joke on her and took her away. I believe that she will come back safely."
Lu Yan also knew what the girl was thinking so he didn't expose her and just cooperated with her.
"I know my wife will come back safely. Thank you for your concern. It's still a long way from here to the capital. It must be very dangerous. Everyone should be careful."
Nan Qing nodded hypocritically.
The carriage that Gu Leyou was riding in stopped in front of a small house, and the black man pulled her out of the carriage.
Everything is a strange environment.
The man in black said to her, "Go in. Someone will come to see you soon. Remember to say what you should say and don't say what you shouldn't say. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Otherwise, it will be of no benefit to you."
"You sent me to this room. Where are you going? You are not going anywhere again. You left a weak woman like me here. Aren't you afraid of any danger?"
"You are such a talkative little girl. I have completed my mission by sending you here. I still have other things to do. Remember not to run around. I will not be responsible if anything happens to you."
After saying this, the man in black left.
Around noon, the door of the cabin was pushed open.
A beautiful woman appeared here, who was even more attractive than her.
The man in black wouldn't tell him that the person who met him was this girl?
She is such a pretty girl, why would she work for such cruel people? I really don't understand.
But she still pretended to be confused and asked the girl why she came there.
"Girl, why are you here alone? Do you have something to ask me?" Gu Leyou asked.
"Yes, I advise you to be sensible. Tell me where your husband and the child are as soon as possible so that my people can find them. Since we are both women, I will plead with my master for you and maybe I can even spare your life. If you are not sensible and insist on being stubborn, then I will have no choice but to send you to meet each other underground."
"Girl, I think you must have heard the saying that women should not embarrass women. Besides, I am a weak woman, what can I know? I was tied up here by your people. If I knew in advance that your people would kidnap me here, I would rather die than be separated from my family."
The girl thought this made sense and asked, "Why did you break up? Is there any purpose?"
"We don't have any purpose. We are just people who do our duty. I believe that the master behind you must be very powerful. It would be as easy for him to crush us to death as it is to crush an ant. Why would he want to kill us all? Could our existence threaten his position?"
"There is nothing in this world that is not a threat. Your existence is the biggest threat to my organization. Only if you die can my master guard this vast country without fear. So you will definitely die this time."
Gu Leyou sneered, "Miss, you are wrong. If your organization had not been so ambitious and insisted on taking that position, perhaps we would all be fine. I am just a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken. I am just a doctor. I usually treat patients and save lives. I have no other use. As for what I know, I will keep it secret."
The girl also sneered and replied: "There is no living person in this world who can keep a secret. Do you know what kind of person can keep a secret?"
Of course Gu Leyou knew it, but she didn't want to answer now. After all, keeping secret was not very difficult for her, but there was nothing she could do if others didn't believe her.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the girl spoke again and told her, "My lady, my master said that only the dead can keep secrets, so whether you die today, tomorrow or later, you can't escape death."
Ever since Gu Leyou knew about this, he has long disregarded his own life and death. After all, everyone is mortal, and death is the same whether it is early or late.
But now he had to make sure that the people she cared about were safe before he could die in peace.
If someone really has to die first, or die in their place, then let her do it.
Maybe she can return to her original world after she dies.
In this way, her death would not be so unfair.
After staying with her in the hut for a while, the girl couldn't get any information out of her, so she left.
But when he reached the door, he turned back and said to her, "I will not let you die before I get something out of you. I will have someone deliver food to you every day. You just stay in this room. You can't run away even if you want to. I have arranged people around here, so you can't run away either."
"Then girl, let me ask you, if this is the case, what is the difference between me and those people? This room is just a cage. I know what you want to ask me, but people should keep their words. I can't go back on my word. I have already promised. I can't say it. Maybe what I know is not very important to you, so it doesn't matter to you whether I say it or not."
This is the truth, but in order to work for their master, these people have no choice but to take risks. After all, their lives and the lives of their families are in the hands of this master.
Although they have to obey orders, they have no choice. If they could do so, then they would all be free.
Soon it was dark.
This night is destined to be sleepless.
Lu Yan and his men stopped at another inn. He also had to find a way to contact his subordinates to rescue his wife.
After all, it was obvious that his wife was abducted by people sent by this girl. I wonder how his wife is doing now. Is she safe?
While the child was sleeping, Lu Yan had a chat with Nan Qing.
He didn't plan to pretend anymore and just told her straight out.
"Girl, I know this child knows you, but even if they know you, we still have doubts about your identity. If you want to do something to us, please let this child go. This child is innocent no matter what."
"Since you have already discovered my identity, why don't you get rid of me and let me go with you? In the final analysis, you are just stupid. If you had discovered my identity a long time ago, you should have thought of a way to get rid of me and let me go with you. Then you should think about the consequences of letting me go with you."
"We thought wrongly. We thought you would still have some conscience and would not harm such a young child. I beg you to kill her. I will do as you wish, but that child is the only blood of the Third Prince after all. Think about it, when you were in the palace before, the Third Prince treated you well. How could you bear to hurt his only child?"
After hearing this, Nan Qing fell into deep thought. This was indeed the prince's only child, and the child was innocent no matter what. But if he let the child go, what would happen to the lives of her family and herself?
