The dock attendant checked and said, "They arrived a quarter of an hour ago, and all the passengers have already disembarked."
Anyone can take a passenger ship as long as they have money, and there is no need to provide identification, especially the luxury passenger ship that Liu Zhaoyuan took, where no one will check registration.
However, precisely because it was a passenger ship like this, there wouldn't be many people on board. Since everyone had gotten off the ship, Mrs. Liu and Yin Ling, who had been looking at the pier exit, couldn't have missed Liu Zhaoyuan.
So it must be that Liu Zhaoyuan didn't take this boat at all.
Su Liuer returned to the teahouse.
"Don't worry, ma'am. Maybe something delayed him and he missed the boat. He might arrive here later by another boat. I'll go find Long Xingtian first. You two continue to wait here." Su Liu'er comforted Madam Liu.
Naturally, the Whale Gang was the most informed about matters on the water. Madam Liu frowned and asked, "Is it appropriate for you to go? Or should I go find him?"
"I'm not Lan Yue, there's nothing inappropriate about it. I'll be back soon."
"Then be careful on the road and don't be too anxious." Mrs. Liu was obviously very worried but she still did not forget to comfort Su Liuer in a soft voice.

Longcheng Whale Gang branch.
"Is Lan Yue awake?" Long Xingtian asked as soon as he saw Su Liuer.
"I'm not here for Lan Yue. I want to ask you for a favor. I wonder if Master Long is still willing to help me now?"
The joy on Long Xingtian's face suddenly disappeared, and he smiled bitterly and said:
"You don't have to mock me like this. Just tell me what you need my help with."
Su Liuer didn't waste any time and directly told Long Xingtian about Liu Zhaoyuan's affairs.
"Okay, I'll send someone to check it out right away. I'll let you know when there's any news." Long Xingtian nodded in agreement.
Su Liu'er thought for a moment and said, "Liu Mansion."

After leaving the Whale Gang, Su Liuer returned to the teahouse.
There were still only Madam Liu and Yin Ling there, and Liu Zhaoyuan still did not show up.
"I have agreed with Long Xingtian that he will go to the Liu Mansion to inform us when there is any news. Why don't we go back to the mansion and wait for news?" Su Liuer suggested to Madam Liu.
Mrs. Liu always obeyed Su Liuer's words, but now she was really worried about Liu Zhaoyuan.
So I'm a little hesitant.
Su Liuer said, "Then wait a little longer." She sat down next to Madam Liu.
Madam Liu smiled at her, her expression filled with relief and joy.
The three of them sat in the teahouse for another quarter of an hour, looking towards the dock exit, but still did not see Liu Zhaoyuan.
Mrs. Liu also knew that it was futile to continue waiting like this, so she took the initiative to ask to return to the Liu Mansion.
After returning to Liu Mansion, he still hadn't received any news from Long Xingtian.
This made Mrs. Liu even more nervous, and she didn't eat a single bite of dinner.
Su Liuer also knew that this was not a good sign. If he really took another ship from Guangling to Longcheng, it should be easy to find out.
Unless Liu Zhaoyuan did not travel according to the original plan at all, even the Whale Gang's well-informed information network would find it difficult to find his current whereabouts.
Su Liuer was just about to persuade Madam Liu to eat something before continuing to wait.
At this time, a servant came in with people from the Whale Gang.
"Ms. Liu, the person you are looking for should have gotten off the ship at Yuncheng Wharf two days ago. His specific whereabouts have not yet been confirmed." The visitor reported the results of the investigation clearly and concisely.
Su Liuer asked the man to go back first. Madam Liu's eyes were red with worry and anxiety.
"Wuyou, your father has never been such an unreliable person. He always keeps his word. He clearly promised me that he would come, so he wouldn't have disembarked! There's no way he would suddenly get off the boat in Yuncheng!"
Mrs. Liu became more and more excited as she spoke, and could no longer hold back her anxious tears. She was almost certain that Liu Zhaoyuan did not get off the boat in Yuncheng on his own, but was forcibly controlled by someone, it must be so!
