The big man was tall and bulky, as heavy as a mountain. No matter how hard Lotus tried, he couldn't push him.
Instead, the big man with the scarred face became impatient and pushed Hehua to the ground with a wave of his hand.
"What a troublesome maid. Are you seeking death?"
Hehua didn't give up even if she was pushed to the ground. She got up and quickly hugged the scarred man's waist. She turned to Xiner and said, "Miss, run, these people want to catch you! If you fall down,
I'm afraid there's a lot of danger in the hands of these gangsters!"
"You servant girl, let's see if I don't kill you!"
The scar-faced man was cruel and ruthless. He was holding a small dagger in his hand and was about to stab the lotus flower.
At this critical moment, Xin'er screamed: "Stop!"
After shouting, the scar-faced man stopped and asked: "What's wrong, the eldest lady of the Fang family?
Could it be that you have changed your mind?"
I am a slave to others and I am a fish to you. How can Xin'er choose?
She lowered her head and said timidly: "I understand, you want to arrest me, right?
I will follow you honestly and will not resist...but you have to let go of the lotus flowers and stop hurting human lives."
"Haha, my brothers and I are not demons. If Miss Fang is willing to cooperate with us, of course we will not kill innocent people."
The moon first appeared like a disk. In the residence of the Minister of Hubu in Chang'an City, the candlelight was bright and it was leisurely and quiet.
At this time, Muchuan was in a wing room, but this wing room was particularly special.
Small bouquets are hung on the wooden walls of the room, flower lanterns are hung on the beams, and the table is filled with colorful flowers. Being among them is like being in a sea of flowers, which is so beautiful and refreshing.
Muchuan was very satisfied when he saw the decoration of the room.
"Yes, if Xin'er sees this scene, she will forgive me, right?"
"Sir, do you need me to invite Miss Xin'er?"
The old housekeeper asked at the right time.
"No, if you invite me in my name, I'm afraid she won't agree."
Muchuan knew Xin'er's temperament. She looked quiet and well-behaved like a little rabbit, but when angry she looked like a lioness.
If Muchuan sent the old housekeeper to invite her, I am afraid that Xin'er would not want to pay attention, and she might even think that he is not sincere.
For this reason, he would have to go and invite him in person, in which case Xin'er might be willing to accept the appointment.
The old housekeeper was capable and meticulous in his work. When Muchuan just left the mansion, the carriage was already ready outside.
A stick of incense later, Muchuan had arrived at the Fang family's residence.
Fang Cheng came to the main hall to receive him. After learning Muchuan's intention, he couldn't help laughing: "So you have prepared gifts?"
"Yeah, I just don't know if she will like this gift."
"You will definitely like it. I know this sister very well. Your arrangement is unique and very interesting."
"nice! You love it."
Muchuan smiled happily, thinking that after Fang Chengdu said that, Xin'er would not leave in anger this time like last time.
But where did Xin'er go?
Why haven't I seen her until now?
Could it be that she heard that Muchuan was coming and deliberately avoided seeing him?
After Muchuan asked about Xin'er's whereabouts, Fang Cheng smiled boldly and said, "Don't worry, Xin'er didn't miss you, she just went out to get the goods."
Fang Cheng then told Xin'er about receiving the flower cloth, saying that Xin'er should be back in half an hour.
However, half an hour has passed and the moon has risen high in the sky, but until now, Xin'er has not been seen coming back.
Fang Cheng was very surprised. You should know that the distance between Fang's mansion and Linglong Village is not far. Even if it is a walk, it only takes half an hour. Why hasn't Xin'er come back until now?
Could it be that something happened?
"This is quite strange..." Fang Cheng looked worried.
Upon seeing this, Muchuan asked about the situation and learned about Xin'er.
"Xin'er came back a little late indeed, and she was asked to escort valuable goods. If she meets gangsters, something unexpected will happen..." Muchuan was worried. He decided not to wait in the mansion and wanted to go out.
Find Xin'er.
Just when Muchuan was about to leave, someone came to the Fang family's residence. It was the maids and guys accompanying Xiner.
Muchuan and others went out to greet them and found that these maids and men were all seriously injured, their clothes were in tatters, and they looked very embarrassed.
And among these people, Xin'er is the only one who can't be seen.
From this moment Muchuan understood that something had happened to Xin'er!
Later, Muchuan and Fang Cheng learned from the maid Hehua that a group of gangsters appeared and took Xin'er away.
When he learned that his sister had suffered an accident, Fang Cheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He looked uneasy and paced back and forth in front of the main hall.
"What should I do, what should I do... I never expected that something like this would happen to Xin'er. If I had known this, I shouldn't have let her escort the cargo this time! They all blame me, they all blame me!"
Fang Cheng fell into deep self-blame. In his opinion, he had to bear a lot of responsibility for what happened to his sister.
But now is not the time to blame yourself. Time is precious and we are racing against time. We must rescue Xin'er quickly!
Muchuan analyzed: "Didn't Xin'er just be captured not long ago?
If we track her we should be able to bring her back."
Fang Cheng responded: "Yes... we can still save Xin'er!"
However, after spending a whole night tracking and investigating, Muchuan and Fang Cheng did not find many useful clues, so naturally they were unable to find Xin'er's exact location.
It seems true that the clerks at Hehua and Fang's shops only saw the direction in which the thieves fled, but there was no way of knowing how long they fled and whether they changed directions along the way.
The most critical point is that these thieves are treacherous and cunning. When Muchuan sent people to track them, they found that the thieves had changed their clothes and vehicles many times. This obviously showed strong anti-tracking capabilities.
One night passed, and everyone in the Fang family's mansion was sleepless all night, and everyone tried their best to find Xin'er.
Unknowingly, the moon sets and the sun rises, the sun's rays slowly shine down from the horizon, and a new day arrives.
In the main hall of Fang's mansion, Fang Cheng sat on a four-legged wooden chair with a decadent expression and dark circles under his eyes. He had worked hard all night without rest in order to find his sister.
Muchuan was not much better either, with disheveled hair and a tired look. However, his body had been strengthened by the system to be extra strong than ordinary people, so staying up all night would not cause much damage.
Now Muchuan advised: "Brother Fang, why don't you go and have a good rest first..."
"How can I sleep? I haven't found Xin'er for a day, and my heart is tied up and I feel depressed and uneasy."
"Then you need a good rest. Do you want Xin'er to come back and see you seriously ill and dying?
