"According to my guess, the villain opened the entrance to the secret passage in advance and then hid it on the couch. When Qi Qi fainted near the screen, the villain picked up Qi Qi and turned around and entered the secret passage. The opponent should be a practitioner. Only you can do it so quietly."
"Because the screen of Ten Thousand Birds Chaofeng blocked the entrance, her maid Linglong didn't notice the secret passage after Qi Qi was taken away."
"Linglong came to report after knowing that Qi Qi was missing. Perhaps by this time, the gangsters had successfully arrived at Li Youbin's yard with Qi Qi..."
"But the moment Qi Qi disappeared, the Li Mansion was under martial law, and there were guards everywhere. I guess the gangster would not be able to take Qi Qi out in time. Now, we should go through the secret passage."
"The bad guy must still be in the house."
Shi Weian asked Li Youbin to go out and call in the guard team guarding outside.
Shi Weian raised his hand and signaled: "You go into the secret passage first and search it carefully. If nothing happens, keep going forward and see where the exit is."
After saying that, Shi Weian paused and looked at Mrs. Li again: "It's too dark in the secret passage. Could you please Madam prepare some lanterns."
Mrs. Li nodded repeatedly: "Housekeeper Qi, hurry up and get people ready."
Butler Qi responded and left in a hurry with a few maids.
Soon, dozens of lanterns were delivered and handed into the hands of all the guards.
The head guard responded and raised his hand, "Let's go!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the guard chief entering the secret passage first, and the guards following him also followed.
Seeing this, Li Youbin suddenly thought, "Grandma, are there any dangerous mechanisms in the secret passage?"
Mrs. Li shook her head: "No."
"Okay, then I'll follow you in."
Before Mrs. Li could react, Li Youbin followed.
Mr. Jia looked hesitant and didn't want to enter the secret passage. If Mr. Shi didn't take the initiative to mention it, he just stood there and pretended to be dead.
Anyway, Mr. Shi has already deduced the situation when the eldest daughter of the Li family disappeared, so there should be no need for him.
Shi Weian seemed to be aware of Mr. Jia's thoughts, raised his eyes and glanced at him, his tone was slightly cold: "Why don't Mr. Jia go in and take a look?"
Mr. Jia: "..."
No, there are already so many guards ahead, so what use can he do if he goes into the secret passage?
It's impossible for him to go into battle and fight the bad guys with his bare hands, right?
However, in the face of Shi Weian's cold eyes, Mr. Jia could only choose to compromise. He stiffly pulled the corners of his lips and forced a smile: "Come in, I will go in now."
Lord Jia closed his eyes, looking like he was about to die, and strode closer to the entrance of the secret passage.
That's all, once he is targeted by Shi Weian, he may die without a complete body. Now that Shi Weian is still here, he can only know a little bit about the situation, and those who know the current affairs are heroes.
After returning home safely, he pretended to be seriously ill and closed the door to thank guests.
He would endure it for the time being.
After Mr. Jia entered, Shi Weian followed.
Mrs. Li thought for a while, but did not follow her. Instead, she turned around and walked out of the room. She said to all the female relatives: "The Li family did not entertain you well today. Please don't take it to heart. At this time, both adults are I am worried about Qi Qi's safety, and I also hate that the bad guy is hiding in the Li Mansion, and I don't know if the bad guy has any accomplices..."
"Therefore, please don't wander around, otherwise you will be targeted by that gangster..."
The unspoken meaning was understood by all the female relatives present.
If something really happened to them in the Li Mansion, even if there were two adults here, they probably wouldn't try their best to find their whereabouts.
After all, they didn't know that Li Qiqi was a charming person who knew how to confuse people.
Mrs. Zhang quickly said: "Wherever the old lady is, I will follow the old lady and I will never run around in the house."
As soon as these words came out, other female relatives spoke in agreement.
Mrs. Li was relieved.
The Li Mansion is already chaotic enough at this time, as long as these people don't add to the chaos.
The guards who entered the secret passage did find something.
"My lord, here is a piece of cloth stained with blood."
After learning that his master had also entered the secret passage, he followed them. The captain of the guard turned around and walked towards Shi Weian, "It's burlap."
Shi Weian stopped and took the cloth from the guard captain's hand. He lowered his head and sniffed it, and suddenly frowned.
"There is also a scent on the fabric. It has the same scent as the screen outside. This piece of fabric must have been left behind by the bad guy."
"The other party should be injured."
The captain of the guard remained silent for a while, then listened to his master's instructions: "Everyone, walk faster and search the ground carefully to see if there are any blood stains. If you find anything, come back and report it."
"yes."
The captain of the guard left quickly.
The secret passage is very narrow and can barely accommodate two people walking side by side.
When the chief of guard came over, Li Youbin also came over, "Sir, this piece of blood-stained cloth belongs to the gangster. Is my sister okay?"
Li Youbin asked nervously.
Shi Weian glanced at him lightly, said nothing, and walked forward.
Li Youbin: "..."
After all, the missing one is his biological sister. How dare he not even ask?
Li Youbin was dissatisfied, but once he met Master Shi's gaze, he didn't even dare to fart, so he could only retreat in anger.
Mr. Jia is very knowledgeable, and he is content if Mr. Shi and Li Youbin don't cause trouble for him.
He just didn't know how long this secret passage was and when he would be able to see the exit.
In fact, the secret passage is not long.
Apart from the blood-stained piece of cloth, the captain of the guard found nothing else suspicious.
As expected, as he got closer to the exit of the secret passage, the captain of the guard discovered blood stains dripping on the ground. The blood stains had not dried up. They should have been left recently...
The captain of the guard lowered his voice and gestured behind him: "We are about to go out, everyone, please be careful."
The guards nodded.
There is a mechanism at the exit of the secret passage, which is embedded in the wall on the left. It is very conspicuous and looks exactly like the porcelain vase in the room.
The captain of the guard walking in front tried to push the porcelain vase in, but nothing happened.
"Take out the porcelain vase."
Shi Weian has already walked up.
Hearing this, the captain of the guard agreed, and followed his master's words and took out the porcelain vase mounted on the wall——
There was a small "click" sound.
A crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the wall in front of them, and faint sunlight shone in from the outside.
The wall slowly separated from the middle and moved closer to the left and right sides. The situation outside clearly fell into the eyes of the guards.
Li Youbin anxiously pushed away the other guards and stepped forward quickly, "It is indeed my yard." The bride he had finally snatched back must not be harmed by that villain!
Li Youbin felt anxious and walked out first.
"Don't……"
The young master of the Li family moved so fast that the captain of the guard couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.
As everyone knows, Li Youbin was greeted by a cold arrow as soon as he came out of the secret passage. Thanks to the quick reaction of the guard captain, the moment he heard the movement, the guard captain had already stretched out his hand to pull Li Youbin back in time.
Leng Jian passed by Li Youbin and then inserted into the wall behind him.
Li Youbin:? ? ?
Li Youbin was completely frightened. If the captain of the guard hadn't supported him, he would have collapsed on the ground.
"Master Li, it's hard to guard against hidden arrows."
The head guard said, "Until we are sure it is safe outside, please don't rush out and die, Mr. Li."
Li Youbin was in shock.
Li Youbin's eyes widened, and he slowly turned his head to look at the captain of the guard. He took several deep breaths before he could recover, "Fortunately, fortunately, you gave me a hand, otherwise, I would really die! "
Even if he does all the bad things, he still wants to continue living.
If you are not alive, how can you continue to do evil in Suzhou City?
The captain of the guard ignored him and went over to report the situation to his lord: "Sir, there is an ambush outside."
Shi Weian also saw the scene when the guard chief pulled Li Youbin in. In this way, he could be more sure that the other party was coming for him.
Mr. Jia cherished his life and hurriedly hid behind the guards.
Shi Weian: "Did you just see who was shooting cold arrows in the yard?"
Chief of Guard: "My subordinates didn't see it clearly, but looking at the direction Leng Jian came from, he should be at a relatively high position. Perhaps, the man was standing on the wall of the courtyard to shoot the arrow."
Shi Weian: "Send someone to go back to the room quickly and tell Mrs. Li to summon all the guards in the house to rush to Li Youbin's yard."
Mr. Jia took the initiative to ask for help: "Sir, my lord is running fast. Why don't you let me go back?"
Shi Weian glanced at him and said, "Okay, it's up to you."
Mr. Jia's eyes lit up, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and turned around to leave.
Looking at Mr. Jia's leaving figure, Shi Weian suddenly sneered.
Are you so greedy for life and afraid of death, and still want to get promoted and make a fortune?
…
Mr. Jia didn't waste any time and almost jogged all the way back to the room.
Mrs. Li and a group of female relatives were still waiting in Li Qiqi's yard.
Suddenly seeing Mr. Jia coming out, Mrs. Li asked: "Mr. Jia, how is the situation?"
Lord Jia took a breath and spoke quickly: "Mrs. Li, there is an ambush in Master Li's yard. Your Excellency, please ask the old lady to summon the guards from the house and rush over there. The bad guy must be caught!"
"What!?"
When Mrs. Li heard this, her vision suddenly went dark and she was about to faint again. She held it back and tightly pinched the wrist of the maid at the side.
The maid didn't dare to say a word when she was pinched, so she could only endure it.
Mrs. Li calmed down and then said: "Housekeeper Qi, go quickly and listen to Mr. Jia."
Butler Qi: "Yes, please also ask Mr. Jia to come with the old slave."
The guards in the house were still rummaging around in every corner, looking for the whereabouts of Li Qiqi and the gangster. As soon as they heard Butler Qi's order, all the guards immediately rushed to Li Youbin's yard and soon brought them to Li Youbin's house. The whole yard is fenced.
But this time, the men who had stayed in the front yard before were also rushed over.
Meng Huaijun, who was standing in the crowd, and Xie Shiba, who had already put on a disguise, looked at each other and quickly looked away.
The young master's prediction was correct. Someone was indeed thinking of causing trouble at this time.
In the past two days, because Li Youbin had been staying at home to recuperate, Meng Huaijun could not find a chance to get acquainted with Li Youbin smoothly, so he could only take Xie Shiba to create a "rescue encounter", allowing Meng Huaijun to get acquainted with another hand. The businessman who holds the Li Mansion invitation is Zhang Guanglin.
Then, Meng Huaijun and Xie Shiba followed Zhang Guanglin into Li Mansion for the banquet.
All the guards also saw the man standing on the courtyard wall holding a bow and arrow.
The man wore a fox mask on his face, so it was impossible to see his face clearly.
Mrs. Li and a group of female relatives also hurried over.
The female relatives didn't want to come over at first, but seeing that Mrs. Li had spoken, they had no choice but to follow...
Seeing the man standing on the courtyard wall with his bow drawn, Mrs. Li forced herself to calm down: "Who are you? Why did you sneak into the Li Mansion to do evil?"
"Did you take my granddaughter Qiqi away?"
"Who I am has nothing to do with Li Mansion."
The man wearing the fox mask looked down, and his eyes with murderous intent fell on Mrs. Li: "I appear here today with only one purpose, and that is to make Shi Weian pay for his blood debt. Who can Whoever stops me from taking revenge will be the one I kill first.”
"I heard that Li Qiqi is Shi Weian's favorite outhouse, so it doesn't seem too much for me to do something with Li Qiqi first, right?"
"Mrs. Li, if you are reluctant to part with your granddaughter, then I can reluctantly give you a ride. What do you think?"
Mrs. Li: "..."
Mrs. Li's face suddenly turned pale, and she pointed at the man with trembling fingers: "You, you are so cruel! Mr. Shi will never let you go!"
Shi Weian, who was in the secret passage, was not surprised when he heard the conversation outside.
After all, he has been in office for many years, has offended many people, and has a lot of blood on his hands. Since the other party is coming for him, it is even more impossible for him to show up. It is a pity for Qi Qi...
If he really couldn't save Qi Qi's life, then he would kill the gangster who took Qi Qi away and avenge Qi Qi!
Li Youbin immediately raised his eyes and looked at Shi Weian. He didn't know what Shi Weian was thinking. He immediately looked angry and gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, the villains outside are so arrogant and want to kill my sister. Please, sir." Find a way to save my sister as soon as possible!"
Shi Weian glanced at him indifferently, his eyes dark and unclear.
Officials cherish their lives. If they are in a high position, they will be even more greedy for power. No matter how much Shi Weian likes Li Qiuqi's flower of interpretation, it is not worth the risk he takes for Li Qiuqi.
not to mention……
Shi Weian suddenly felt that he should not have come to Suzhou in person.
"It was not the person outside who took away Qi Qi."
Shi Weian said: "The piece of blood-stained cloth that we saw just now is enough to prove that the gangster who took Qi Qi away was injured, but the man standing on the courtyard wall didn't look like he was injured. Injured."
"If you want to save Qi Qi, you have to catch the person outside first."
Shi Weian spoke unhurriedly, his sharp eyes focused on Li Youbin, and he slowly revealed a gentle smile: "Li Youbin, I wonder if you would like to be used as bait to rescue your sister?"
Li Youbin:? ? ?
