Chapter 88 Chaos
After trying for a long time without being able to untie her, Lin Baoer finally had no choice but to use the blade to slowly sharpen it.
It took an unknown amount of time, but she managed to grind off the rope tied to Chu Jingchen's hand.
As soon as the rope on her hand was untied, Chu Jingchen spontaneously began to untie the rope on her body. After a while, the two of them fell to the ground panting.
"Baoer, how did you get a blade?" Chu Jingchen rubbed his sore face, his voice hoarse and hoarse.
Lin Baoer put away the blade carefully and lied without blushing, "I just found it on the ground. Maybe someone dropped it."
Chu Jingchen would not doubt a child's words. Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of worry on his face, "What should we do? According to what you said, if the person who tied us up is the groom, then someone must have bribed the groom first, so this is the case."
"This is premeditated."
"Then is it coming for me, or...you?"
Chu Jingchen looked down at Lin Baoer and saw that she was still looking around. Her little face was covered with dust and looked very haggard. She couldn't help but sighed softly.
Why did she say this to a child?
Now Baoer was the only one around her, she had to cheer up.
After thinking about it, she wiped the dust off Lin Baoer's face, and rubbed her wrist with heartache, "Does it hurt?"
Lin Baoer shook her head obediently, "No."
Chu Jingchen thought she was sensible and said so, and felt even more sympathetic in her heart.
"Don't worry, when they find out we are missing, they will definitely send someone to rescue us."
Lin Baoer nodded obediently again.
[I'm just afraid that this group of people doesn't want money, but life! ]
[If they really want our lives, then we may not be able to wait for big brother and others to rescue us later! ]
Lin Baoer was a little upset that she didn't bring Xiaoqing out.
Otherwise, she could have sent it back to report the news.
At this time, in the Lin Mansion, the study.
"Dad, I'm afraid that Jiang Cheng's line is going to break." Lin Zhiyu sighed, "The people sent by the crown prince learned that those sent by Jiang Cheng seemed to deliberately avoid the coastal areas, and they may have noticed something."
"Not only that, the letters sent back in the past few days learned that a trading den where we were lurking had suddenly changed people, and the goods traded also turned back to normal objects."
Lin Qiming paused and raised his eyes, "Did they find out that it was Mo Bai who did it that day?"
"Shouldn't." Lin Zhiyu shook his head, "Mo Bai didn't leave any clues that day, and the third prince didn't find anything on Mo Bai. Logically, he should have no evidence to prove that it was Mo Bai who did it."
"It seems that the third prince is more cautious than we thought."
Lin Qiming put down his pen and moved the calming paper aside. "Maybe this incident scared him and made him nervous. No matter whose family the people who sneaked into the prince's mansion belonged to, he ordered the seizure of those things because important items were lost."
"In this way, we actually made a fuss by testing the third prince."
"But, Dad, we also took the opportunity to find out another thing." Lin Zhiyu narrowed his eyes: "There is a man named Qi in western Anhui along the coast. He often does maritime business. Many people who originally did maritime business did not pay attention to him."
"But this change suddenly made our people find something wrong."
"He goes out to sea on the first and
fifteenth day of every month. Before going out to sea, he would first go to the fireworks and willow alley, and then go to the pawnshop. He never changes." "But in these few days, on the fifteenth day of this month, he went to Wenshu Pavilion in the middle of the night."
"Although it was hidden, our people still found it."
Lin Zhiyu said slowly, "Finally, we followed and found that the owner of Wenshu Pavilion was originally the Heng family of Linjiang, and then it was sold to the Xu family of Wanxi."
"And the Xu family has some relationship with Lord Xu in Yanjing City. I heard that it is a cousin outside the hall. They don't have any contact on weekdays, and only write to each other once or twice during festivals."
Lin Qiming walked out from behind the desk and washed his hands: "Lord Xu belongs to the neutral faction in the court, and has not yet stood on any side."
Lin Zhiyu nodded: "If there is a problem, we will find out."
Lin Qiming was about to nod, when suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door.
"Oh no, sir! Oh no, sir! The fourth lady is missing!"
The two people's expressions changed, and they suddenly opened the door.
"What did you say?!"
When they came to the main hall of the Lin Mansion, they could hear Shen Xuelan's anxious and worried voice from a distance.
"Go and look for them! How could two people of that age disappear inexplicably? Send more people!"
Seeing her face turn pale and her body faltering, Lin Qiming hurried over to support her, "Madam."
"Husband!"
Seeing him, the tears in Shen Xuelan's eyes finally fell.
"What happened?! How could Baoer disappear?!" Lin Zhiyu was anxious.
Lin Mobai didn't dare to look at him, pursed his lips and said, "Just now, Miss Chu's maid reported that her daughter was enjoying the flowers with Bao'er in Baichun Garden, and wanted to go to Shenghuai Restaurant for lunch at noon, but they lost consciousness halfway through the journey, and when they woke up, they were already in the wilderness."
"At that time, Bao'er and Miss Chu disappeared, and they ran back desperately to deliver the letter."
Lin Zhiyu was stunned when he heard it.
"What did you say? ... Miss Chu is also missing?"
His voice was a little astringent.
"In my opinion, how can this be called a missing person? It's clearly a blatant kidnapping!" Lin Ruqian was angry, her eyes red with anxiety, "I don't know who is so cruel to kidnap a child, she is still so young, what if something happens..."
Shen Xuelan burst into tears when she heard this, and she cried uncontrollably.
"Why is it always my baby who suffers? She is still so young..." She choked, and made others anxious. "
Then why don't you hurry up and find her!" Lin Zhiyu turned around and wanted to run outside, but was stopped by Lin Mobai halfway.
"Don't worry, big brother." Lin Mobai clenched his fists and took a deep breath. "We are more anxious than anyone else that Bao'er is missing, but we have already sent many people and reported to the authorities. Once we have a clue, they will come back to inform us."
"We are waiting for you and Dad to come to discuss another matter. We think it is very strange."
"What?" Lin Zhiyu frowned. He was so nervous that his hands and feet were weak, and his face was really bad.
Lin Mobai said: "Miss Chu's maid just said that her daughter received a letter in our name to invite her to Baichun Garden to appreciate flowers, but she didn't show up. So she took Bao'er alone to Shenghuai Restaurant for dinner."
