An Zhixian bent down to pick it up, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed:
"It's hers... If she is kidnapped by someone with intentions, she will be used as a knife at most. I'm afraid that her kidnapper... doesn't know her identity. If there is no taboo, she will be in danger! This kind of activity must be avoided. Yes, they won’t go down the main street, I’ll look for them along the alley, and you should go back and tell them.”
Hong Jiu agreed and walked out quickly.
An Zhixian took two steps, suddenly turned around and said:
"Wait a minute, just tell Gu Ruizhou and a few people about Lin Jinyan's disappearance. Don't let the young ladies in his house know about it, so as not to spread it and ruin her reputation."
Hong Jiu nodded solemnly, and the two quickly separated.
When Gu Ruizhou saw Hong Jiu leaving and returning, but Lin Jinyan was nowhere to be seen, he felt uneasy. He was about to ask, but Hong Jiu beat him to it.
Hong Jiu thought about what to say all the way and blurted out:
"There are people who were burned in the front. Miss and Boss An went to rescue them. Miss told me to come back and call a few young men to help."
Gu Ruizhou did not doubt his presence, looked at the injured daughters and said:
"Jin'an, you and Brother Ran are here. Wait for the ladies to come to the house, and Yichen and I will go take a look. Six of the soldiers from the house will guard here, and the rest will follow me."
Mr. Ran glanced at Hong Jiu's anxious face, took a step forward and said:
"Of course there will be more people to help. Jin'an and his soldiers are here, and there are so many followers, which are enough to ensure their safety. I will go with them."
Lin Wanrong: "Cousin! Yan'er is weak and can't smoke. After you go, ask her to come back soon."
Gu Ruizhou glanced around, responded, and led the people towards the direction of the fire.
Lin Jinan looked at the backs of the group of people, doubts flashed in his eyes, turned his head to suppress his thoughts, and comforted Lin Wanrong in a gentle voice:
"Don't worry, cousin. As long as my cousin and the others are here, Yan'er will be fine."
After comforting Lin Wanrong, Lin Jinan looked at Wang Huizhao, who was in pain and covered in cold sweat:
"Ms. Wang will be patient a little longer. The people sent to notify the residence have been away for a while and should be back soon. The doctor from Jimintang also informed you to go directly to your residence. You can be cured when you return home."
Although Wang Huizhao's eyes were red from pain, her hair was loose, and her clothes were stained, she still tried her best to maintain her demeanor due to the fact that Lin Jinan was outside.
"Thank you, Master Lin."
As they approached the entrance of the alley, Hong Jiu whispered the truth to a few people. After hearing this, Gu Ruizhou's expressions changed drastically:
"Brother An is right to think about it. The three of us, each with two followers, will go look for each other separately without making any noise. We will meet here in half an hour. If we still can't find anyone, we will immediately go back to the house and send people to search for us. We will notify you later. Jing Zhaoyin also sent people to look for her, Yan'er's safety is the first priority, and others should be put aside first."
Mr. Ran and Gu Yichen had serious expressions on their faces, and they ordered their troops to divide into three groups and quickly search for him.
On the painted boats on the edge of the city, because there is no curfew during the Lantern Festival, there are more painted boats on the river than in the past, and the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard far away along with the teasing laughter.
Feng Xiaoran slumped in the chair with her eyes closed, putting her legs on the stool beside her, her head swaying to the sound of the piano coming from behind the screen, and the wine glass in her hand also swayed to the sound of the piano.
Chen Yao, who was standing behind him, looked at Feng Xiaoran's laziness and enjoyment and really couldn't bear to see it. The old sect master and the righteous figure of the sect master flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh to himself:
Tianjimen will not be defeated by the young master in the future...
