Yancheng Suburban Villa
Young Master Chu Ran hurriedly walked to the study. He had just received news from Mrs. Teng, which caught him off guard.
Although he remained calm on the surface, his steps betrayed his heart.
The maids, servants, and guards who met him along the way were a little surprised to see Master Chu Ran like this. They had been serving the brothers for a long time, and they had never seen the second young master like this.
"Brother, are you there?"
Young Master Chu Ran pushed open the door of the study room and shouted, only to find that there was no one in the study room. Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and suddenly saw his elder brother standing behind him.
"What's wrong?" The eldest young master looked his brother up and down, "He looks so panicked, what happened?"
"Oh, you scared me! Brother, why do you walk without making a sound!" Young Master Chu Ran patted his small chest, stepped aside to get out of the way, and waited until the eldest young master entered the door, followed him in, and closed the door. "Brother, something big happened! People from the Teng family sent an urgent message. Wanyanping...is missing!"
"Missing?" The eldest young master waved to young master Chu Ran and asked him to sit next to him, "Don't be anxious, sit down and take a breath first."
Young Master Chu Ran sighed, sat next to the eldest young master, and put the pieces of paper in his hand in front of the eldest young master.
"When did you disappear? How many days have you been missing?"
"Counting today, it should be the fourth day."
"Why did you suddenly disappear? Is it related to our people?"
"No, our people haven't had time to take action yet, everything is being arranged." Young Master Chu Ran sighed, "Mrs. Teng's plan is scheduled for next month, and the action will be completed on Ping's birthday. Now it's okay, Her disappearance completely disrupted the plan."
"What is certain now is that she is indeed missing and not dead? Right?"
"Yes, it is certain that she is missing, and? Wanyanping and her kidnapper have not left Yiqing Mansion yet."
"Hmm? I can agree with this judgment. After all, the current situation in Yiqing Prefecture, let alone an individual, will cause vigilance if a bug flies out. Even if they go to heaven and earth, they will be discovered immediately. .”
"That's right." Young Master Chu Ran nodded, "For them, the more dangerous the place? The safer. Not only did they not leave Yiqing Mansion? I'm afraid they didn't even leave the palace."
The eldest young master sighed softly, picked up the message that young master Chu Ran put in front of him, and read page by page.
"Wanyanping should be hiding in a secret place in the palace now? Watching these people with cold eyes? Worried about her, busy for her, and watching some of them, the little thoughts that cannot be hidden slowly surfaced. .”
"Brother, what you're saying is that Wanyanping wasn't kidnapped? Instead, she followed him voluntarily?"
"Well!" The eldest young master nodded slightly and said slowly after reading all the news, "If he was kidnapped, it is impossible that there are no clues at all. Besides, the person who replaced Wan Yanping? He was very interested in Wan Yanping. The imitation is very vivid, either he has been with her for many years, or he has been taught by her." He looked at Master Chu Ran, "Which one do you think it will be?"
"It shouldn't be someone who has been with her for many years. Everyone around her has been cleaned several times."
"Yes, so I am more inclined to be the latter one. She should have made this decision in a hurry. Because Wanyanping initially placed her hope on Xiaojue and Haolin to free them from our control. , but Xiaojue and Haolin didn't take this issue. At the same time, she asked the Yelu family for help. The two boys from the Yelu family must have gotten along with our children and ignored her. Only then did she feel that , she has to rely on herself to get out of this predicament."
"But..." Master Chu Ran sighed, "She didn't rely on herself either? Didn't she find someone else to help? Brother, who do you think she was looking for?"
"Looking at the way he behaves, can't you tell who he is?"
"You mean she hooked up there?" Young Master Chu Ran frowned, "Can't you? Wanyanping is obviously an abandoned child. She was given up by us. What's the use of them picking her up?"
"Apart from them, I can't think of anyone else who can do such a thing." The eldest young master sneered, "Believe in my judgment, it's probably them. I didn't know they wanted Wan Yanping to do it. What, but she is an abandoned child to us, something we want to get rid of, maybe she is still useful to them."
"It is possible. There is no one else but them who can pay so much attention to our movements." Young Master Chu Ran lay on the table and looked at the eldest young master with a distressed look on his face, "Logically speaking, Wanyan Pingyue is outside Making trouble, the more beneficial it is to them, the more detrimental it is to us, right? Now that they have taken Wanyanping away, we can't help but save her from doing something, and we have to clean up the aftermath for her and make new plans. Right? By coming here, aren't they doing us a favor?"
"No, no, no, they are not helping us, but causing us trouble. The current situation is actually beneficial to them." The eldest young master lightly knocked on the table, "This time they are able to control Xia, The pool of muddy water between Liao and Jin has become even muddier.”
"Is it good for them?" Young Master Chu Ran thought for a while and sighed softly, "I understand what you mean, but it's not good for them! Now Wanyanping can't see her alive or dead. The biggest thing is The suspects, in addition to the maids and guards of the palace, are Xia and Liao. If they can't ask anything useful from the maids and guards, then this big pot will be firmly tied. On the heads of Xiaojue and Haolin, and of course the two boys from the Yelu family."
"That's right." The eldest young master nodded lightly, "This should be the idea over there, to use Yan Ping's disappearance to frame Xia and Liao, causing disputes among the three kingdoms of Xia, Liao and Jin, so that they can sit back and watch. When tigers fight, you will enjoy the benefits of being a fisherman."
"Then what should we do now?" Master Chu Ran looked at his brother with a nervous expression, "Now except for us, everyone else should think that Wanyanping is dead. Do we need to remind Xiaojue? And Haolin, let them arrange for people in the palace to search for Wanyanping's whereabouts? In this way, if Wanyanping can be found, this crisis can be resolved."
The eldest young master thought for a moment and nodded slightly towards young master Chu Ran.
"You make the arrangements and don't expose our identities."
"yes."
"Also, tell Xiaojue and Haolin that once there are traces of Wanyanping, it is not up to us to come forward, but to the forces outside the city to expose it."
"Understood." Young Master Chu Ran stood up and smiled at the eldest young master, "Let them go their own way. It's our turn to watch the show this time!"
