Chapter 58 Yue Shu, waiting for her elder sister

They searched the entire Chu family compound but couldn't find him. Chu Ruohan's face grew even paler, and she became increasingly uneasy.

Chu Yueshu is naturally lively and active, but she wouldn't just disappear without a trace. Something must have happened.

If we can't find the Chu family, then we'll look outside.

Chu Ruohan instructed Xiao Cui, "Take a few people and go to the places the Second Miss frequents to inquire carefully, especially those markets, teahouses, and cloth shops. Don't miss any clues."

"Yes."

Just as Xiao Cui was about to leave, Chu Ruohan called her back, saying, "You must investigate secretly and absolutely cannot make a fuss."

Chu Ruohan then returned to the banquet to seek help.

Chu's father was already drunk from the drinking, and Chu Chenyu had also drunk quite a bit. At this moment, he was talking nonsense with his arm around someone's shoulder.

Chu's mother's side consisted of wives from various families...

Gu Junze keenly noticed her unusual behavior. He approached Chu Ruohan with concern and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Chu Ruohan's lips trembled slightly as she whispered, "Yue Shu is missing. We've searched the whole house, but there's no sign of her."

Gu Junze's eyes turned cold. "I'll send someone to look for it right away."

“We can’t make a big fuss about searching,” Chu Ruohan said anxiously. “There are so many people at the banquet. If everyone finds out that Yue Shu is missing, it will damage her reputation. We should search quietly first and not alert anyone else.”

Gu Junze nodded slightly, then turned to Ying Qing and instructed, "Summon the Shadow Guards. Make sure to bring Miss Chu back safely."

Ying Qing accepted the order and quietly disappeared into the crowd.

The Shadow Guards were once the personal guards of Princess Anyang. After the princess passed away, they were scattered throughout the capital, living the lives of ordinary people.

The Crown Prince never summoned them.

The fact that the Crown Prince was willing to use this hidden power for the sake of his wife shows how important she is to him.

Yingqing dared not be negligent.

Chu Ruohan's hands clenched involuntarily. Yue Shu would never disappear for no reason; someone must have taken her away.

A warm and strong hand gently covered the back of her cold hand, slowly prying open her fingers that were stiff from the effort.

Gu Junze gazed at her with his deep eyes, "Don't worry, the Shadow Guards are all experts, they will definitely bring Yue Shu back safely."

Chu Ruohan nodded slightly, but the worry in her eyes did not lessen in the slightest.

She couldn't place all her hopes on others.

Who exactly kidnapped Yue Shu?

Could it be?

She's been so busy dealing with Gu's mother lately that she's neglected this person.

On that day on the cruise ship, Wei Qiming harbored ill intentions towards the two sisters.

Chu Ruohan suddenly remembered that in her previous life, Chu Yueshu seemed to have met her end around this time.

Thinking of this, Chu Ruohan could no longer wait and quietly left the banquet with Song Ruyan.

If it really was that scumbag who took Chu Yueshu away, he would definitely go to that villa in the suburbs of Beijing.

Wei Qiming was an extremely lecherous and cruel man who often took pleasure in abusing women.

In his past life, Gu Chengyan sent Chu Ruohan to a villa in the suburbs of Beijing in order to curry favor with this person. She died after suffering endless torment.

Chu Ruohan was extremely anxious. Song Ruyan hurriedly brought over a horse, and the two mounted it and headed straight out of the capital.

This was Chu Ruohan's first time riding a horse. The wind whistled in her ears, and she closed her eyes, no longer caring about being afraid.

Those painful memories flooded her like a raging tide.

That chillingly grotesque face, and those horrific methods, pierced deeply into her soul.

She couldn't imagine what kind of torment Chu Yueshu was suffering at this moment.

Hurry, she needs to be faster.

Yue Shu, your older sister is coming soon.

Meanwhile, at the Chu family's banquet, guests were numerous, and laughter filled the air.

When Gu Junze received the news that Song Ruyan had taken Chu Ruohan and ridden away on a horse, his face immediately darkened.

He summoned a servant, who then pushed him away hastily.

This scene happened to be seen by Gu Chengyan, whose narrow eyes narrowed slightly, a glint of light flashing in them.

He called Chu Nanxin to a secluded corner, and Chu Nanxin was somewhat taken aback by his sudden action.

But the fact that Gu Chengyan took the initiative to contact her still brought a touch of joy to her heart.

"problem occurs."

"Huh?" Chu Nanxin's smile froze instantly, replaced by a look of utter confusion.

Gu Chengyan cursed under his breath, calling her a "stupid woman," but maintained a calm and composed expression on his face. He said in a low voice, "Can't you see? Something must have happened to the Chu family. Go and investigate."

Chu Nanxin then realized what was happening. She nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Gu Chengyan gazed in the direction Chu Nanxin had left, crossed his arms, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, his eyes revealing a hint of calculation and coldness.

Song Ruyan and Chu Ruohan rode at high speed, and when they were still some distance from the villa, they dismounted.

The gate to the villa was heavily guarded, and the guards were all burly men.

The two had no choice but to carefully lead the horse into the nearby bamboo grove, trying not to make a sound so as not to alert the snake.

Chu Ruohan looked up at the towering wall of the villa, her gaze quickly locking onto a crooked tree outside the wall.

She lowered her voice and said to Song Ruyan, "We can climb over here."

"Miss, cover your mouth," Song Ruyan suddenly said.

"Huh?" Chu Ruohan had barely uttered a syllable before Song Ruyan wrapped her arms around her waist.

With a body as light as a swallow, she lightly touched the ground with her toes, then used the wall as leverage to push off, and then landed steadily on the branches of the big tree.

With a few leaps and bounds, it carried Chu Ruohan like a ghost into the courtyard, finally landing safely in a secluded corner of the villa.

Chu Ruohan landed on her feet, her heart still pounding in her chest.

Is this what they call "flying over eaves and scaling walls" in storybooks?

Luckily, Song Ruyan reminded her to cover her mouth, otherwise she would definitely have screamed, which would have been terrible.

"Miss, shall we look for them one by one?" Song Ruyan shook her head and looked around.

Chu Ruohan did not answer, but walked straight towards the room she remembered.

Inside the room, Wei Qiming was rubbing his hands together, a lewd smile on his face, muttering, "Little beauty, I've finally gotten you."

Chu Yueshu lay motionless on the bed with her eyes closed.

Upon seeing this, Wei Qiming frowned immediately and turned to his servant, asking fiercely, "What's going on?"

The servant trembled with fright and hurriedly replied, "That little wench is too shrewish. She's been yelling and screaming, and she's scratched my arm several times." As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeve, revealing several red marks crisscrossing his arm, some of which were even bleeding.

"I was afraid of attracting attention, so I knocked her unconscious."
