Chapter 126 Ning Wan is missing
Jiang Yuwei hurriedly said to Ning Huaizhi:
"Huaizhi, let's split up and look for it. You drive the ox cart to look for it in the alleys around. We'll meet here in a quarter of an hour, whether we find it or not. I'll go look for it in this house. Maybe Wan'er forgot the time because she was too playful."
After hearing this, Ning Huaizhi naturally did not dare to delay and drove away in the ox cart.
Jiang Yuwei knocked on the door of the house where she had just delivered the goods:
"Sir, I'm so sorry. My daughter came with me to deliver the goods just now. She said she came into the house to look for me, but I haven't seen her. Could you please make an exception and let me go in to look for my daughter? I thought she might have been having fun somewhere and forgot the time."
The steward was also a kind-hearted man. Seeing that Jiang Yuwei was really anxious, he ordered a servant to take her to the mansion to look for her.
The yard was not big. The servant took Jiang Yuwei for a walk in the yard and searched everywhere he could, but there was no sign of Ning Wan. The more Jiang Yuwei searched, the more worried she became. She almost shouted until her throat was broken, but there was still no sign of Ning Wan. A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Jiang Yuwei had to leave the house, looking back every few steps.
As soon as Jiang Yuwei walked out of the house, she saw a piece of paper and the bamboo dragonfly she made for Ning Wan placed next to the stone lions at the gate. Jiang Yuwei hurried forward and picked up the paper:
"Looking for a girl, come to Fengliuting outside the city."
Jiang Yuwei was shocked. Could it be that Ning Wan was kidnapped? Who did it? She hadn't offended anyone. Could it be that the strange man followed her to the town last night?
Jiang Yuwei was just thinking about it when she saw Ning Huaizhi coming back with an ox cart, looking anxious:
"Yuwei, I didn't find Wan'er here, have you found her over there?"
When Jiang Yuwei saw Ning Huaizhi coming, her eyes suddenly turned red. She handed the note to Ning Huaizhi. Ning Huaizhi took the note, frowned, and clenched his fists after reading it:
"Who on earth wants to harm my Wan'er?"
Jiang Yuwei held Ning Huaizhi's hand and shook her head:
"No, Huaizhi, I don't think this person is coming for Wan'er, but for the two of us. We must have offended someone, and they want to take revenge on Wan'er. We don't know who the other party is, so we should be cautious. Do you have your slingshot with you?"
Ning Huaizhi nodded calmly:
"No matter who he is, I will kill him. If he dares to touch my family, I will never let him go."
Jiang Yuwei shook her head:
"Since that person is willing to leave us this note, he just wants to use Wan'er to threaten us. We can't lose our composure. You don't have to shout and kill all day long. I still want to live our peaceful life. We have to think of other ways. Let's go to Lianxiang Tower first. I want to ask Manager Xu to do something."
Jiang Yuwei got on the ox cart, and Ning Huaizhi went straight to Lianxiang Tower without saying anything else.
As soon as Jiang Yuwei arrived at the entrance of Lianxianglou, she saw Shopkeeper Xu explaining the membership system to the guests outside the door, so Jiang Yuwei hurriedly stepped forward and called Shopkeeper Xu while whispering:
"Manager Xu, I went out with my daughter today, but I didn't know that the child was kidnapped by criminals. Now they are waiting for us to find the child at Fengliuting on the outskirts of the city. I want to ask you for a favor."
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly said:
"How could such a thing happen, Yuwei, if you have anything to say, just tell me, I will do my best to help you."
Jiang Yuwei looked at Shopkeeper Xu gratefully and said:
"I would like to ask you to go to the government office and ask the constables to come to Fengliuting to arrest people. We don't know how many people are lying in ambush there, nor do we know who wants to harm our family. But I am really worried about my daughter's safety, so we must hurry to Fengliuting first. I'll leave the matter of asking the constables to come to Fengliuting, Manager Xu."
Shopkeeper Xu was very clear about what he said and nodded quickly:
"Okay, just leave this to me. Hurry up and go find the child first!"
After saying that, Shopkeeper Xu gave a few instructions to the clerks around him and got on the carriage to go to the yamen. Jiang Yuwei got on the ox cart and asked Ning Huaizhi to hurry to Fengliuting.
The two of them arrived at Fengliu Pavilion exhausted and saw two tall men standing in the pavilion, their faces covered with cloth. Jiang Yuwei couldn't tell who they were, but she felt that they were familiar, so she stepped forward and shouted:
"You kidnapped my daughter?"
The two men heard the sound and turned around to see Ning Huaizhi and Jiang Yuwei driving a ox cart.
One of the tall men stepped forward and laughed:
"We kidnapped her. How's that? Do you want to see your daughter?"
Ning Huaizhi said coldly with a gloomy face:
"Hand over Wan'er and I will spare your lives."
"Hahaha, your daughter is in our hands, so why would we be afraid of you? Today I'm going to ask you to bark like a dog and you have to do it obediently!"
Jiang Yuwei held Ning Huaizhi's hand tightly and shook her head at him, then slowly spoke:
"What did you do to Wan'er?"
The tall man spoke again:
"It's okay if you want to see your daughter, but you have to promise me one thing."
Jiang Yuwei stared at the two people in the pavilion and asked in a deep voice:
"what's up?"
"You will not be allowed to buy paper in Pingan Town anymore. Will you agree to that?"
Jiang Yuwei sneered:
"Are you sent by Ge's Paper Shop?"
"You, you, how do you know?"
Jiang Yuwei stared at the two people. She felt that their figures and voices were somewhat familiar, but she really couldn't remember who they were, so she spoke again:
"Let my daughter out first. I need to know that she is safe before we can talk about what happened just now. Otherwise, I will not agree to your request."
After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, the two of them were immediately in trouble. They lowered their heads and whispered to each other for a while. One of them shouted:
"Then just stand there and don't come over. I can let you take a look at your daughter from a distance."
Jiang Yuwei nodded and said:
"Okay, let's just stand here and not move."
The tall man turned around and walked to the back of the pavilion, and picked up the tied Ning Wan from behind a pine tree. Jiang Yuwei felt her heart aching just watching from a distance.
Ning Huaizhi on the side had already taken out the slingshot from his arms and was holding it tightly in his hand.
The man carried Ning Wan to the pavilion and shouted at Jiang Yuwei:
"See? This is your daughter. She is fine. As long as you agree to our request, I can let her go."
Jiang Yuwei shook her head:
"It's too far to see clearly. What if you lied to me and found someone else's child to impersonate my Wan'er?"
The man became anxious when he heard this:
"You stinky bitch, you have so many things to do, this is your daughter."
As the man spoke, he tore off the cloth stuffed in Ning Wan's mouth, pushed Ning Wan impatiently, and said viciously:
"Speak louder, call her 'mother', let that bitch hear whether you are her daughter or not!"
