"Young Master, Young Master!" The little attendant excitedly called out to Liang Yuqi as he ran towards the pavilion.
"What is it?" Liang Yuqi asked with a cold expression as she looked at the little lackey who ran in front of him, who was out of breath.
"Whoosh, whoosh." The lackey took a deep breath, "Young Master, that group of people sent the letter again." The little attendant handed the letter in his hand to Liang Yuqi.
Liang Yuqi's expression stiffened. She immediately received the letter from her lackey and opened it to read. Following that, he tore the letter into pieces and threw it into the pond. Then, he fiercely kicked the stone at his feet.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" The little lackey who was standing on the side cautiously asked Liang Yuqi.
His hands tightly clenched into fists as he gnashed his teeth and said, "Those people have found Sihan again. They want me to bring 1000 taels of gold with me to the ruined temple outside the city tomorrow to hand over the gold and release them with my bare hands!"
"How can this be? Hadn't Miss already escaped from them? How could they possibly let it all fall into their hands again? " The little lackey asked with an expression of disbelief.
"You're asking me, but who should I ask?" Liang Yuqi turned around and grabbed her follower's collar and asked excitedly.
"I'm sorry Young Master, I was just worried that you and Young Miss would say something like that." The little attendant carefully replied as he looked at Liang Yuqi.
"Sigh!" "Useless thing!" Liang Yuqi forcefully pushed her follower away and furiously looked at the pond in front of her with her hands on her waist. At this moment, the pond's scenery was like a painting. The gentle moonlight sprinkled over the pond, illuminating the lotus flowers in the pond, but Liang Yuqi was not in the mood to admire the beautiful scenery in front of her.
The little lackey was caught off guard and was ready for Liang Yuqi to push him away. He almost fell to the ground. With much difficulty, he managed to stabilize himself so that he did not fall to the ground. He lowered his head and silently stood beside Liang Yuqi.
"Why aren't you speaking?" Liang Yuqi coldly asked her follower without even turning her head.
"Master, what are you going to do?" The little lackey looked at Liang Yuqi and asked with a slightly worried expression.
"What else? Of course it's to prepare for the gold. " Liang Yuqi replied snappily to the lackey.
"But for Master." The little lackey raised his head and looked at Liang Yuqi as if he wanted to say something.
"I will take care of it myself. Go back and rest." Liang Yuqi indifferently instructed her follower.
"Yes, young master." The little attendant glanced worriedly at Liang Yuqi for a moment, then he turned around and left.
"Wait a moment." Liang Yuqi called out to the attendant who had just turned around.
The little lackey turned around and looked at Liang Yuqi with a puzzled expression, "What is it?" "Young master."
Liang Yuqi glanced at the letter he tore to pieces and threw into the pond. "Who gave this letter to you?"
"I don't know. I was chasing Miss on the street just now, but I suddenly lost you halfway, so I was prepared to come back and report to you. But when I hurried to the entrance of the Liang Household, this letter fell from the sky." The little lackey honestly replied to Liang Yuqi.
Liang Yuqi's expression immediately changed. He stepped forward and tightly grabbed the shoulder of his follower. "What did you say? Did you just see the young mistress? "
"Yes, I saw Miss. I was still chasing her for some distance, but Miss suddenly disappeared after entering Lucky Inn." The little lackey honestly replied to Liang Yuqi.
"What did you say?" Sihan disappeared at Lucky's Inn? " Liang Yuqi's eyes widened as if she didn't believe what her follower had said.
"Yes, Miss did indeed disappear at the Lucky Inn." The little attendant honestly replied to Liang Yuqi. As for why the Miss suddenly disappeared, he was also very puzzled.
"Are you sure you saw the young lady?" Liang Yuqi once again asked her follower in disbelief.
"Yes, I just saw Miss on the street." The little lackey replied to Liang Yuqi with certainty.
Liang Yuqi's expression immediately darkened. "I understand. You can leave now."
The little follower glanced at Liang Yuqi before respectfully retreating.
After the little lackey left, Liang Yuqi turned around and looked at the pond. His expression was even uglier than before, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists.
Zhining gave Liang Yuqi a puzzled look before disappearing from the Liang Manor.
In the Chen Residence.
Sihan and Bing'er sat at the table, waiting for Zhining to come back from the Liang Household. Both of them had fallen asleep on the table.
When ZhiNing returned to her room, Bing'er actually started snoring without any hesitation.
Seeing that the air was a little cold, ZhiNing took off her outer clothes, draped them over Bing'er's body, and then found a thin blanket to cover Sihan's body.
Bing'er was woken up by Zhining's gentle actions. She rubbed her loose eyes and stretched lazily. "I didn't think that I would fall asleep so soon."
"Yeah, I fell asleep too." Sihan yawned and agreed with Bing'er.
"What did you find out today?" ZhiNing poured three cups of cold tea and passed it to Sihan and ZhiNing, refreshing them.
"I just found out that Liang Yuqi's attendant was looking for me everywhere." Sihan simply replied to Zhining. Pausing for a moment, she then asked Zhining, "What about you, what did you find out?"
"Right now, I am very certain that Liang Yuqi is the mastermind behind your kidnapping." ZhiNing spoke out her thoughts.
"How do you know?" Sihan looked at Zhining and asked.
"Firstly, Liang Yuqi seems to be especially afraid of Liang Shibai reporting to the officials. Secondly, the lackey took out a letter for Liang Yuqi today. It was a letter for Liang Yuqi to exchange the gold for someone. At that time, the lackey said that the Miss had already escaped from there. Why do they want that young lady to threaten you? This means that the lackey and Liang Yuqi already knew that you had escaped from the desolate mountain. The only one who knows that you've escaped from the desolate mountain is the person who kidnapped you. However, Liang Yuqi and his little follower actually knew about it as well, which only means that Liang Yuqi is also one of the people who kidnapped you. " ZhiNing lightly replied to Sihan.
"It seems like Liang Yuqi is really cunning and very careful. She actually only revealed a little bit of herself up until now. It seems like the letter we wrote today worked." Bing'er smiled and said to Sihan.
"You wrote that letter?" ZhiNing looked at Bing'er and asked.
"Yes." We wrote it. We only wanted to test Liang Yuqi. We didn't expect to actually succeed. " This time, they were very certain that Liang Yuqi was one of the masterminds behind her kidnapping.
"However, there is one thing that I find strange." ZhiNing frowned slightly as she muttered to herself.
"What is it?" Bing'er curiously looked at Zhining and asked.
"I feel that Liang Yuqi didn't care about the extortion letter. Instead, she was very interested in the three words' Lucky Inn '. She was very sensitive." ZhiNing did not look at Bing'er, instead, she looked at Sihan and answered.
