Sister Hong hesitated for a moment. She felt a little reluctant to kill the little girl!
Lai Fu may have seen through her thoughts. He was afraid that she would be soft-hearted and unwilling to get rid of the little girl. If she kept her, there would be trouble in the future and it would not end well. If she was not careful, it would cause a big mess. So, he persuaded her again:
"You must not be soft-hearted or careless about this matter. This is no small matter. If we don't deal with her now, if the matter is exposed one day, we will have offended Prince Yu. Everyone knows that Prince Yu has fought on the battlefield for many years. When he faces his enemies, his eyes are red. When he goes into battle, he kills like crazy. If he knew that we were deliberately holding his daughter hostage, he would definitely take our lives."
Lai Fu's words made Sister Hong fall into deep thought. She knew that she was now in a difficult situation. Even if she wanted to hand over An An at this time, it was too late. Prince Yu would accuse her of attempting to harm the royal family. By then, not only would the Yuhongyuan be unable to operate, but she might even lose her life.
Instead of taking risks, it is better to cut the Gordian knot and get rid of this little girl, so that no one knows that she has been to Yuhongyuan. Wouldn't that be all right?
So, she sighed reluctantly and nodded, muttering to herself:
"What a shame for such a beautiful girl. Just do what you want. Remember, do it decisively so that no one can find out."
Lai Fu's eyes showed a cunning look, and he nodded slightly.
"I understand. Don't worry, Sister Hong. I will do this without anyone noticing, as if she had never been here."
"Go! Stay away from others and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Lai Fu nodded, turned quickly and walked upstairs.
An An, who was hiding in the pile of junk, didn't know that Sister Hong and Lai Fu had already figured out how to kill her.
"An An, come out."
Lai Fu came to the utility room, called her softly, took away the sundries around her, and looked at her with a smile.
"Come out, the bad guys are gone."
An An stared at Lai Fu with wide eyes, "Are they really gone?"
"Let's go, come out. But they said they'll be back tomorrow. I just discussed it with Sister Hong. In order to prevent them from finding you when they come back tomorrow, I'll take you away from here tonight."
"Where are you going?"
An An crawled out from the pile of junk, looked up at Lai Fu with a longing look in her eyes.
Lai Fu pondered for a moment and coaxed in a low voice:
"Let's take you to a safe place. We'll come back after these bad guys leave."
An An nodded without any doubt. She was really afraid that she would fall into Leng Xi's hands again, so at this moment, she believed what Lai Fu said.
…
For the whole day, everyone has been searching in the capital, but still found nothing. Luo Lan has not been idle either. She walked up and down the street, asking everyone if they have seen her An An. When she saw others shaking their heads at her, the sound of her heart breaking came from her heart again and again.
It was already dark, and she walked weakly on the street. Thinking of An An's disheveled and hungry appearance, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Ah Cai whispered behind her:
"Princess, let's go back. The prince will be worried if he doesn't see you when he returns to the inn."
Ah Hong also nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Princess, the prince just sent someone to tell you to go back. He said they will be looking for someone overnight, so you should go back and rest first..."
Luo Lan exhaled and shook his head vigorously.
"I don't know if An An has a place to sleep. I can't sleep if I go back. Let's go around a bit!"
"But they've already searched here during the day, so it's no use for us to look for them here."
"I know it would be boring to go back. It's better to get some fresh air on the street and just experience what it's like to sleep on the street."
At this moment, she was clear-headed. If she went back to the inn, she would feel sorry for An An and would feel that she was an unqualified mother, although her thoughts were a bit extreme.
She didn't allow herself to ignore An An, even though she didn't know where An An was.
At this moment, she saw a ragged little beggar sitting in the corner not far away. A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she muttered, "An An", and her feet ran towards that side unconsciously.
"Princess, please slow down."
Ah Hong and Ah Cai followed behind her, reminding her not to be anxious.
When she came to the little beggar, she tidied his messy hair with shaking hands, muttering,
"An An, is that you?"
The sleeping little beggar was awakened. He half closed his eyes and waved his arms impatiently.
"Who is it, disturbing my sweet dream in the middle of the night?"
When he opened his eyes and saw the beautiful and clean face in front of him, he raised his hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth and asked in a mumbling voice:
"You...what are you going to do? I...I'm a man."
The moment the little beggar started speaking, Luo Lan's heart sank again. She knew that she had recognized the wrong person again. She missed An An so much that when she saw the beggar, she thought it was An An.
She slowly stood up and waved to Acai.
"Give him some silver."
Ah Cai took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket and handed them to the little beggar.
"Here, buy some food. It's not safe to sleep here at night."
The little beggar looked at them with some confusion.
"You...you are not human traffickers?"
