Lin Jue's heart skipped a beat and sank, and he quickly asked why. Lin Hu quickly explained the matter. It turned out that this morning, Lu Wu went to the market to buy some vegetables, meat, and other daily necessities as usual.
When she was passing by an alley on her way home, several people suddenly jumped out of a carriage parked at the entrance of the alley. They covered her mouth and nose and pulled her into the carriage.
Those people threatened Lu Wu not to speak out, otherwise they would kill her. Lu Wu was so frightened that she dared to resist? The carriage sped all the way out of the city, and Lu Wu knew something was wrong. If she was kidnapped out of the city by these people, then
There was no way to escape. So when the carriage passed the Qingbomen Bridge, Lu Wu took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people in the carriage, hit the door and jumped out. The whole person fell from the high bridge into the river. Fortunately, at that time
There was no ship passing under the bridge, and the water below was relatively deep. Lu Wu fell directly into the river without suffering any fatal injuries. Otherwise, if he had fallen on the deck of a ship or on the gravel in the river, he would have been injured.
I'm afraid my life will be lost.
Even so, Lu Wu was injured in many places and she was also very frightened. A passing ship rescued her, but the carriage disappeared.
After Lu Wu was sent back to the Lin family, the servants of the Lin family immediately sent a letter up the mountain to tell Lin Hu. Lin Hu and Gao Muqing were about to leave for Yunlin Temple, and got the news, so they rushed to report it.
After hearing Lin Hu's report, Lin Jue became very anxious and ran out. Lu Wu was his heartthrob. If something happened to her, how could Lin Jue delay at all?
Xue Manzi, who was paying close attention to the conversation between Lin Jue and the book boy in the corridor, rushed out and shouted at Lin Jue's back: "Lin Jue, where are you going? It's outrageous, how can you leave without permission?"
Lin Jue didn't have time to talk to him. He ran away and said, "Something happened at home. I'll apologize to you later."
Xue Manzi looked at his back and stamped his feet and cursed: "It's amazing, this is contrary to heaven. I have to go to Fang Dunru to file a complaint. How can this behavior be condoned? I'm so angry."
Lin Jue, Gao Muqing and others immediately went down the mountain and rushed home. There had been a quarrel in the Lin family's house. Lin Boyong also got the news. Although he was just a servant at home, after all, something happened at home. He didn't know why. He was in the house at the moment.
The front court called several insiders for questioning. Seeing Lin Jue hurriedly entering the door, Lin Boyong hurriedly waved and asked: "Lin Jue, what's going on? What's going on with the maid in your room? Has she made a grudge with someone?"
Lin Jue didn't have the mood to chatter with him. He frowned and cupped his hands and said, "Master, my nephew has just learned about this and is about to take a look. It's not a big deal to have a grudge. Who can a little maid like her have a grudge against?"
Lin Boyong whispered: "Did the incident on Guishan Island attract enemies? Hey, I knew this matter would never end. It has all been brought to the house. Today it is this little maid, tomorrow it will be us people
?Lin Jue, you have to figure this out carefully, and you can't make your family panic."
Lin Jue felt extremely disgusted in his heart. Lin Boyong was not stupid. He should have smelled something. But what he said at the moment was something Lin Jue never wanted to hear. He didn't care about the life or death of this little maid. The first thing he thought about was himself and himself.
The safety of several gentlemen.
"Master, I don't know the reason for the matter at the moment, so it's better not to make random guesses. My nephew will ask for details now and report back later." Lin Jue didn't want to talk to him any more and walked straight away.
Lin Boyong frowned and looked at Lin Jue's leaving back. He turned to Huang Changqing, who was standing behind him and said: "Changqing, go tell the boss and the second brother that they are not allowed to go out at night from now on. You need to bring more servants with you when you go out during the day. Shop
We have also sent extra manpower to the pier to take care of everything."...
Lin Jue rushed into his small courtyard. In the courtyard stood several maids from the outer house who were close friends with Lu Wu, whispering something. Seeing Lin Jue come in, several maids hurriedly lowered their heads and saluted.
"Where's Lu Wu? How is he?" Lin Jue asked.
"It's in the room." A maid raised her finger and pointed.
Lin Jue rushed into the house like a gust of wind and went straight to the west wing. Lu Wu was lying on her small bed, with a close maid waiting on her. When she saw Lin Jue, she hurriedly got up to get out of the way.
"Lv Wu, what's wrong with you?" Lin Jue threw himself at the bedside.
Lu Wu was lying on the bed in a daze. After hearing Lin Jue's voice, she immediately opened her eyes. Seeing Lin Jue's concerned eyes, she could no longer hold back her fear and grievance. She sat up and hugged Lin Jue.
I felt my neck and started to cry loudly.
Lin Hu and Gao Muqing, who were following Lin Jue, hurriedly exited the room, and several maids also hurriedly exited. Lin Hu had actually known about the incident between Lu Wu and the young master for a long time. He had secretly seen the young master kissing Lu Wu's sister.
Gao Muqing has also understood that this little maid is Lin Jue's heart and soul since she moved into Lin Jue's courtyard. Today, she even saw the importance of this little maid in Lin Jue's heart. After receiving the news, Lin Jue's anxious expression was beyond words.
Seeing the two hugging each other at this moment, I knew that their relationship was not simple.
However, Gao Muqing didn't feel any discomfort. Lu Wu was very cute, and she was always by Lin Jue's side, so he had no reason to be unhappy. Besides, Lu Wu was just a maid.
Lin Jue patted Lu Wu's back and comforted him in a low voice, and then quickly checked Lu Wu's body regardless of the suspicion between men and women. Although he had had extremely close contact with the young master, Lu Wu still blushed with embarrassment.
.But seeing the anxious look on the young master's face, Lu Wu felt sweet in her heart, and the little girl even thought that the danger was worth it.
Lu Wu had many bruises on her body, which were caused by scratches and collisions on the skin. They were not serious in fact, but they looked shocking. There was a black bruise on the side of her chest, and there were several red, swollen and bruised spots on her arms and legs.
There was a wound more than an inch long on the originally fair and pink face, which was very red and dazzling. The wound had been covered with medicine, and it seemed not serious. I asked Lu Wu if there was any special pain, and Lu Wu said
They all shook their heads to express no, and Lin Jue felt relieved. Lu Wu spoke a little vaguely, and seemed more frightened than injured. Lu Wu had never experienced anything like this before.
After some comfort, Lin Jue asked about the specific situation, including the appearance of those people, what they said, whether they mentioned the reason for attacking Lu Wu, etc. Lu Wu, who had just recovered from the shock, was in a state of emotion after Lin Jue came back.
He also slowly settled down. Leaning in Lin Jue's arms, he slowly recalled the situation in the car.
Although I didn't recognize the appearance of those people, when I was arrested and put into the car, I could only smell the strong odor on their bodies. Those people also had knives, and the long knives were placed on their necks. Lu Wu almost fainted from fright.
In the past, how could you dare to look at the faces of those people?
But Lu Wu remembered what they said. At that time, someone told Lu Wu that if she asked her not to yell randomly, she would not lose her life. If she were honest, maybe she could be let go. Others said, if it is your family
If the young master really cares about you, you will not die. Unless your young master doesn't care about you at all, then you will have no choice but to die. Waiting for these words to be unclear, Lu Wu, who was in a panic, did not listen at all.
Even when she recalled it now, she still had no idea what it meant and what she said was confusing.
"They smell very smelly, just like... just like the smell of seafood sold in the market, very smelly, very smelly." Lu Wu added a special sentence. In fact, she didn't need to add this sentence, Lin Jue basically followed her words
The suspicions in their hearts were confirmed. These people are Hai Dongqing's subordinates. They are obviously not here for Lu Wu, but for themselves. In fact, it is not difficult to know their motive for hijacking Lu Wu.
Use Lu Wu as a hostage to coerce and capture themselves. Or simply kill Lu Wu and threaten themselves. They must understand that after several attempts to intercept and kill them failed, and they are extremely cautious, they need to change their strategy. They are
Since he couldn't find an opportunity himself, he had no choice but to take action from Lu Wu.
Lin Jue felt great anger and suspicion in his heart.
After comforting Lu Wu, Lin Jue frowned and walked out of the room to the corridor. Gao Muqing was sitting on the corridor, reaching out and unconsciously caressing the petals of a pot of blooming rose flowers. Lin Jue gently sat down next to her.
,Sighed.
"Is Lu Wu okay?" Gao Muqing looked at the red apricot branch hanging out of the wall in front of him and asked softly.
"It's okay, I was just frightened and had some skin injuries, nothing serious."
"Did they do it?" Gao Muqing asked.
"Currently, it seems that there is a high probability that they want to use Lu Wu to coerce me. Or they want to kill Lu Wu to scare me." Lin Jue gritted his teeth and crushed a piece of earth in his hand.
"...Sure enough, I'm still here. I didn't attack you, but I attacked the people around you. These bastards." Gao Muqing whispered.
Lin Jue said coldly: "They are not just bastards, they are a group of courageless people. It is so despicable to attack a maid."
"Hai Dongqing acts only for the purpose, regardless of the means. Besides, maybe this is an effective method. It is naturally easier to deal with your little maid than to deal with you. But the harm caused to you will be huge."
There was a faint sourness in Gao Muqing's words.
Lin Jue seemed unaware, frowning and saying nothing.
"If Lu Wu was really kidnapped by them this time, and they blackmailed you in exchange for her, would you be willing?" Gao Muqing asked softly.
"I will. Lu Wu and I depend on each other for life. We are already a family. It can be said that her life is my life. I will never allow her to be harmed." Lin Jue said solemnly.
Gao Muqing snorted and nodded slowly. Lin Jue continued: "But what I'm confused about is why they chose Green Dance? Green Dance is just a little maid of mine. Why do the pirates think that a little maid is so important to me?"
?There are so many people in the Lin family. It stands to reason that the head of the family, several young masters and even many people in the back house are much more important than Lu Wu. Why would they conclude that catching Lu Wu would be useful to me?"
Gao Muqing also frowned. She also felt strange when Lin Jue said this. Logically speaking, the life of a little maid is not valuable. It is more realistic to use other people to coerce Lin Jue, but they knew exactly that Lu Wu was there.
Lin Jue is more important than others.
"What do you think?" Lin Jue asked.
"I don't know. Maybe it's because you are too good to Lu Wu and everyone knows about it."
"Even if I'm good to Lu Wu, Lu Wu and I are as close as one family, and I can do anything for her. But no matter how hard I get it, it won't reach the ears of the pirates? How do they know? Yes, I did it for her.
Lu Wu and my half-brother both fell out, but only a few people in the Lin family mansion know about these things, so how did the pirates know about it?"
"What do you mean?" Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue in surprise.
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "I don't mean anything. It's just a random guess. This incident made me very angry. Maybe I thought too much."
