Townsend was wearing a thin black jacket. The distance from the car to the gate was drenched with a lot of rain that dripped onto the ground and extended all the way into the house.
"Young Master Gong."
He walked to the front of the sofa with a cold expression, his body still emitting a menacing aura.
Gong Yan raised his head and shot a glance at him, his voice was as cold as stagnant water, without any ripples, "Where is she?"
Tang Sen's expression sunk. A chill filled his cold eyes. His voice seemed to jump out from the gaps between his teeth.
"He is indeed in the town. He just went there a little too late and they moved him away."
He paused for a moment, as if he had thought about it carefully, before continuing, "Young Master Gong, the people that the madame has sent are all people under Uncle Qin's command, they are very smart, and have some knowledge. They all know that it's really hard to avoid them noticing.
Miyazaki made a gesture, and Townsend shuddered.
"He was with my grandmother when he was in the Shen family. With decades of loyalty, even if I start from him, I can't get much out of him."
The man recounted the words coldly, his dark eyes slightly fixed on something, a dark surge of imperceptible power.
Townsend's face changed several times. His hands, which had fallen to his sides, were clenched by the changes in his emotions. His joints were turning white.
"Then what do we do now? With the clues cut off, it won't be easy to find their hiding place again. The Old Mistress is determined to have you marry Miss Su. I don't think she will let you go before the wedding ends. "
This point, there was no way Gong Yan wasn't clear about it.
Marriage was the only way to get rid of a woman, as things stood.
However, this method was also the worst outcome.
"You guys continue searching for people. If you can't find someone, then you know what to do."
There was no sound of bloodshed in the lukewarm tone, but only those who heard it understood what it meant.
Their negligence had caused the woman to be taken away. Tang Sen's expression didn't change. Perhaps he had already expected this punishment, so he didn't feel surprised at all. He answered "Yes" and left.
The silent hall had suddenly sunk into a state of three feet of ice.
A servant came out shakily with a supper, unable to even get close to the man who was surrounded by a dense aura.
"Young Master Gong, you haven't rested for a whole day. I can see that you don't look too good. After we're done eating, why don't you go rest. Miss Pei won't have much news for the time being …"
Before he could finish his words, he was met with the man's sinister and terrifying gaze. The servant immediately shut his mouth.
Seeing this, the man withdrew his gloomy eyes, supported his forehead with one hand, lightly and heavily pressed his forehead, and ordered in a low voice, "Go down."
"Yes …" "Yes." The servant nodded and hurried away.
Outside the villa, the rain gradually became heavier as thunder roared in all directions, tearing open the ink-stained night sky.
"..."
The news of Cloud City's new rich and powerful family's upcoming wedding spread like wildfire. Soon, this news caused a heated discussion throughout the city.
There were even media photos of the young master of the Gong family's legs healing themselves and there was no longer a need for him to walk anymore. This made quite a few young women moan in grief.
Once upon a time, a man's leg was his only regret. Without this regret, he would be a perfect incarnation.
The black Rolls-Royce slowed to a stop in the upscale apartment complex.
The man, cold and gloomy, stepped out of the backseat and headed straight for a house.
When Suzy heard the doorbell ring, a sharp pain in her hand made her reflexive and throw the kitchen knife on the ground, creating a loud noise.
Lowering his head to take a look, his fingers were quickly dyed red with blood.
The redness quickly overlapped with an image that flashed through her mind, making her jump back to reality.
The doorbell continued to ring. She stopped her panicked expression, picked up a few tissues and pressed her fingers against them before walking to the door and opening it.
Caught off guard, he raised his head to look at the man indifferently without a trace of superfluous emotion in his gaze.
Su Zhi's gentle and delicate face immediately lost all color. She was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head and asked in a flustered voice, "You … "Why are you here?"
Gong Yan coldly looked at her obvious yet abnormal reaction, and his line of sight stopped at the way she kept touching her collar.
In the summer, she wore a white, turtleneck sweater that wrapped around her neck.
Even though there was an air conditioner in the room, it was abnormal.
An imperceptible gleam flashed through his black eyes that were as deep as an ancient well.
He only glanced at it once before turning away and walking into the living room, rubbing the woman's shoulder with his foot.
He sat down on the sofa as he came and went.
Su Zhizhi stood by the door, her fingers that were squeezing the collar of her shirt tightening. Her face was pale to the point that it was almost transparent.
"How long are you going to stay there?"
A low and deep voice came from behind him, sounding like a talisman.
Su Qizhi snapped out of her nightmare and realized that she had been standing there for an unknown amount of time.
She closed the door and returned to the living room. When she saw the man's cold gaze on her face, the unease in her heart stirred once again. "Why did you suddenly come over? I … I've been …"
"Miss Su, we are having a wedding tomorrow. Since you're not willing to try out the wedding dress, you can't suddenly go back on your word, right? "I remember that you were dreaming of this day."
The man's tender and cruel words spilled out of his thin lips.
Suzhi's face turned more and more awkward as she saw the sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"I... "No," she said, folding her hands, nails digging into the skin of the back of the other hand and lowering her head slightly. "I told you, it's just that I'm not feeling very well these few days, I'll go and try it this afternoon. If there's anything that's not right, they should still be able to change it in time."
"No need, I've already had someone deliver it. You can try it right here, I don't have the patience to accompany you on this trip."
The examination of the wedding dress that the Palace Mistress had forced him to do was supposed to be completed a few days ago, but Suizhi had pushed it away for a few days in a row, and this matter was delayed until the day before the wedding when there was no sign of a woman trying it out.
Hearing that, Su Zhizhi's whole body shook. Her eyes were filled with disbelief, and her eyes were even filled with fine and dense broken lines.
"What, you look so shocked?" The man was still smiling, but it didn't reach his eyes.
The uneasiness in Su Zhizhi's heart gradually spread as she looked at the man who was about to laugh or not.
Sure enough, he spoke up again, asking about what had happened that night.
"Oh right, you're so abnormal …" "I remember, you drugged yourself that day, then …"
