She said, "We are investigating a case. Regarding Miss Liu, in order not to alert her, we can only investigate in this way."
Song Fanze stood there without moving, seemingly hesitant.
Seeing this, Chi Qiangwei jumped down again, and before Song Fanzhe could react, she grabbed him by the back of his collar and flipped him up.
When he landed on the ground, Song Fanze seemed a little unsteady, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Chi Qiangwei said, "Troublesome!"
"It's a waste of your talents for the city lord to ask you to come down the mountain to handle this matter."
If they were demons or monsters, then Song Fanze's appearance in the mountains would be fitting for his identity as a demon slayer.
Song Fanze said, "Amitabha Buddha, no matter how big or small the matter is, as long as it can help ordinary people."
Inside the courtyard, which was pitch black, Chi Qiangwei and Song Fanze walked side by side.
Then, Chi Qiangwei lit a candle, which dimly illuminated the room.
The facilities inside are very simple; it doesn't look like it's been lived in.
Chi Qiangwei and Song Fanze continued walking inside, but found nothing when they reached the end.
Chi Qiangwei looked at the wall in front of her with some confusion.
"Could it be that Miss Meng's disappearance really has nothing to do with her?"
She reached out and touched the wall in disbelief, feeling around. Then, she seemed to touch a raised switch.
I pressed it, and then the wall opened automatically.
A hint of surprise appeared in Chi Qiangwei's eyes. She glanced at Song Fanze, and then the two of them walked inside.
The opposite side of the wall was no longer Miss Liu's private residence, but another residence.
This house looks unremarkable and appears to be an abandoned dwelling, but it looks like people used to live inside.
Chi Qiangwei and Song Fanze went inside and found a faint candlelight in one of the rooms.
They crept close to the wall and then heard crying coming from inside.
Chi Qiangwei poked a hole in the window paper with her finger.
Miss Meng was tied up, and in front of her stood a lecherous thief dressed in black, who gave her a lewd smile.
"Miss Meng, now that you're in my hands, don't even think about leaving."
Miss Meng shook her head, crying in fear, "No, no..."
Seeing this, Chi Qiangwei quickly broke through the window and jumped in, kicking the lecherous thief. The thief immediately stumbled and fell down.
Chi Qiangwei, "You audacious lecher!"
The lecherous thief was terrified when he saw the two strangers appear and tried to run away.
The next second, Song Fanze struck the wooden fish in his hand and chanted a spell. The lecherous thief felt a headache and rolled to the ground.
"Two great heroes, spare my life!"
"I won't do it again, I'll never do it again!"
Upon seeing this, Chi Qiangwei exclaimed, "Such cowardice! They even dared to kidnap the city lord's daughter!"
The lecherous thief pleaded, "I didn't know she was the city lord's daughter!"
At this moment, Miss Meng, who was tied to the chair, cried out, "...I already told you I am the city lord's daughter."
The lecherous thief broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this, stammering, "I...I thought you were threatening me..."
She then inquired about the whereabouts of the other girls, but the lecherous thief said he didn't know; he had only captured Miss Meng.
Chi Qiangwei frowned upon hearing this.
When she and Song Fanze brought the lecherous thief back, they suddenly felt that things had gone too smoothly.
When the city lord's wife saw that her daughter had returned unharmed, she immediately burst into tears and hugged her daughter tightly.
"Xiuxiu, you almost scared your mother to death."
Miss Meng sobbed in her mother's arms, "Mother, I'm sorry."
The city lord's wife said, "As long as you're back, I'll never force you to marry again. If you don't like that young master Yue, I'll cancel the engagement and let you choose the husband you like."
Upon hearing this, Miss Meng burst into tears, crying out, "Mother..."
When Miss Meng's good friend Miss Liu heard that she had returned, she rushed over. Upon seeing Xiuxiu, the two women embraced.
After a while, Miss Liu looked at Chi Qiangwei and said gratefully, "Thank you for finding Xiuxiu."
Chi Qiangwei: "Miss Liu, do you know where Miss Meng was found?"
Ms. Liu was taken aback and shook her head.
Chi Qiangwei looked into her eyes, "It's that abandoned house next to one of the mansions under your name."
Miss Liu exclaimed in surprise, "Is it really next to my new house? My mother used her dowry to buy this house for me, and I haven't even lived there yet. I never expected Xiuxiu to live so close to me..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel like crying again, and Xiuxiu comforted her from the side. "Sister Liu, you don't need to blame yourself, I'm perfectly fine."
The two sisters had a deep bond, and seeing this, Chi Qiangwei didn't say anything more.
Chi Qiangwei and Song Fanze had performed a great service, and the city lord was delighted to receive them. As previously agreed, the city lord gave them a very generous reward.
Chi Qiangwei looked at it and saw a whole box of silver. Her eyes lit up immediately.
Song Fanze had no interest in the silver and gave it all to Chi Qiangwei.
Chi Qiangwei was rather worldly; she knew that this money could still be useful in the world. Seeing that Song Fanze didn't want it, she took all the money herself.
She tucked the silver into her pocket and smiled at Song Fanze, saying, "Thanks then."
Song Fanze put his hands together in prayer and said, "Amitabha."
Chi Qiangwei, “…” He was utterly boring.
The people of the city all heard that the city lord's missing daughter had been found, and they immediately saw hope.
As Chi Qiangwei and Song Fanze walked down the street, they were greeted by people offering them flowers and fruit.
Chi Qiangwei, feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the people, followed Song Fanzhe with a touch of embarrassment.
Song Fanze was a high-ranking monk and was used to such scenes. He remained calm, put his hands together, and chanted "Amitabha" to the crowd.
Under Li Yi's arrangement, Xu An moved to a different room, an elegant attic in the bustling city center of Shicheng.
Xu An sat up today, and Wan Rou opened the window. Below was a bustling street with people coming and going.
Xu An has been ill for a long time, and he needs to be exposed to such lively atmosphere, which will also help his condition.
Wan Rou loved this place. Every day when she was bored, she could watch the people coming and going below.
At this moment, Xu An and Wan Rou suddenly saw Chi Qiangwei and the high monk appear on the street. The two of them were surrounded by the people and looked very popular.
Wan Rou suddenly felt that there was a strange atmosphere when Chi Qiangwei and the high monk stood together, like a natural barrier that no one could penetrate.
She thought of something and quickly turned to look at Xu An, only to see Xu An staring intently at the two people below.
Seeing this, Wan Rou deliberately provoked him, "Xu An, did you see that? This is Chi Qiangwei, who is so devoted to you. I thought she went to find a cure for your illness, but it turns out she's here being all lovey-dovey with a high monk."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu An's face visibly darkened.
