Qin Yu was maintaining his silence, but his black pupils seemed to have been condensed into an invisible storm. His whole body emitted a heavy pressure that made the soldier that just a moment ago opened his mouth immediately quiet down. The soldier couldnât help but secretly ponder about his words from just a moment ago. Had he said something that he shouldnât have, which wouldâve made the commander darenâs complexion suddenly change?
Qin Yuâs complexion was ugly for a while, and immediately afterwards he had a feeling that there was something wrong. Even if Li Luo and Liu Ruoyan went out, it was unlikely that they would come back so late. He looked up at the soldier that was standing on the side and said, âYou go and get me three squads of patrol soldiers, the sooner the better!â
âYes!â The soldier that received the command quickly left, he only took a short period of time to bring more than thirty people.
After Qin Yu arranged the task, the more than thirty people dispersed and began to search the city.
Qin Yu didnât stay there and wait for the news, but with the more than thirty people, he also went looking for Li Luo and Liu Ruoyan that didnât come back yet.
Although the moon was in the middle of the sky, because of the festival, the streets were still brightly lit, the people were coming and going.
Qin Yu looked at the couples that were walking side by side in the street, as well as the lanterns that they carried in their hands, his original ugly complexion suddenly became even more ugly. He didnât expect Li Luo would agree to come out with Liu Ruoyan to such a special festival.
Good, very good! Qin Yu thought as he jumped over a roof, while gritting his teeth.
This debt, he would write it down in his heart. Just wait until the time to settle the accounts comes, he would make Mucheng repay each and every one of them properly.
Qin Yuâs heart was anxious and angry, the pace of his footsteps also became faster.

After the more than thirty people investigated almost all of the places in the city in the middle of the night, they finally found Liu Ruoyan inside a small alley leaning against a wall, as her head hung low.
As soon as a soldier with good eyesight saw the state Liu Ruoyan was in, he knew right away that her sleeping acupuncture point was sealed, but there was no one that had found out about it.
After Qin Yu received the notification, as if he had the wind under his feet, with the fastest speed he arrived at the scene.
Liu Ruoyan still had her eyes closed and still in the same posture leaning against the wallâwithout Qin Yuâs permission, no one dared to go forward to release Liu Ruoyanâs acupuncture point.
Qin Yu reached out one of his fingers and released Liu Ruoyanâs acupuncture points. Seeing as though Liu Ruoyan looked a bit in a daze after she woke up, Qin Yu stepped forward right away and seized Liu Ruoyanâs shoulder. His complexion was heavy as he asked, âWhere Mucheng?â
Chapter 21 Part 2:
âMucheng gegeâŚMucheng gegeâŚâ Liu Ruoyan opened her eyes wide, in her big eyes, panicked looks immediately emerged. âIsâŚis he gone?â She turned pale as she thought of what had happened before she passed out.
âThose people, it must be those people who took away Mucheng gege!â Liu Ruoyan loudly said. Then her voice slowly lowered, tears were streaming down from her big eyes, âItâs my fault, if I didnât insist on Mucheng gege coming out to buy lanterns, such a thing wouldnât have happenedâŚitâs all my faultâŚâ After speaking to this point, Liu Ruoyan covered her face with both hands and cried out loud.
After he heard Liu Ruoyanâs words, Qin Yuâs bad premonition had become reality. His eyes burst out terrifyingly cold chills right away, his fingers that had grabbed Liu Ruoyanâs shoulder were tightening, almost as if they were going to pinch Liu Ruoyan shoulder blade until it broke, âYou tell me clearly, who is it in the end that took away Mucheng?â
Liu Ruoyan seemed as if she didnât feel the slightest degree of hurt from Qin Yuâs powerful pinch on her shoulder, she weakly shook her head, âI donât know. The last thing I saw was a black clothed man, and then I fainted.â After speaking to this point, Liu Ruoyan suddenly felt that there seemed to be something in the cleavage of her bosom. She immediately put her hand into her bosom, and took out a folded yellow envelope from inside.
Qin Yuâs eyes flashed. He immediately released Liu Ruoyanâs shoulder, and took the envelope from her hand. He immediately opened the envelope and read the letter inside in haste. The more he read the contents, the more ugly his complexion got. Finally, he directly used his internal force and turned the envelope in his hands into powder. With a darkened face he squeezed his palm slowly, spreading it onto the ground. After he finished, Qin Yu didnât speak, he just quickly walked out of the small alley with an ashen complexion. He advanced towards the residence where they stayed and went inside.
Although in her heart Liu Ruoyan really wanted to ask Qin Yu what exactly was written inside the letter, and wanted to know who it was that kidnapped Su Mucheng. However, after she saw that Qin Yuâs whole body emitted ever more terrible killing intentions after reading the letter, she simply couldnât open her mouth to ask, and could only watch Qin Yuâs back figure as it disappeared before her eyes.

Li Luo felt that he had been asleep for a long time before he recovered his consciousness. Afterwards, he felt a terrible headache lancing through his head. The pain arrived suddenly, and brought a few memories along with it. He felt as if his whole head was buzzing. It took a moment until the pain settled down.
Li Luo blinked his eyes, sat up from the ground, and he surveyed his surroundings. What had filled his vision was a very gorgeous palace.
Every corner was decorated with very luxurious furnishings. He was lying down on the carpet, not far away from crimson curtains with embroidered gold thread. It was placed a few feet higher above the vases and other decorations. Everywhere was red and gold in color, it almost blinded his eyes.
Looking at this eye-catching color, Li Luo felt he had even more of a headache.
He once again laid down on the ground and closed his eyes. Only when the buzzing feeling in his head completely disappeared, did he open his eyes again. He felt a lot better now when looking at this incomparable bright colored room.
Li Luo raised his hand and pressed his forehead. He remembered very clearly that he and Liu Ruoyan were going into a small alley to buy lanterns. Then they were attacked by a few black clothed men, and then he fainted. When he woke up, he was already at this place.
Li Luo once again laid down, as he silently searched the information of the storyline in his mind. However, even after he scanned the information three-four times, he hadnât found any part where Su Mucheng had been kidnapped.
What the hell is going on here?
Li Luo felt as if his sense of superiority had been destroyed. Previously as the book author he was able to predict the future. Now, he wouldnât be able to do that again.
Li Luo didnât have any clue about the current situation, but he didnât intend to sit still. He hurriedly got up from the ground, and looked around the room. Then he went to the door and pushed it with both of his hands. He was not surprised that the door was locked. Moreover, he saw many faint shadows of people outside, that were keeping watch on him tightly.
To make matters worse, he found that his bodyâs internal forces were sealed. At the moment, he was just like an ordinary person.
Suddenly, Li Luo heard the sound of footsteps from afar, and they gradually got closer. The sound was very loud as though many people walked toward this room.
Li Luo retreated a few steps. He stayed away from the door and stood in the middle of the room looking towards the doorâs directionâit seemed he would soon know who exactly kidnapped him and for what purpose.
The sound of footsteps were getting closer and closer. Under Li Luoâs attentive gaze, the closed door in front of him opened. From the outside, the piercing sunlight shone in. Li Luoâs eyes couldnât help but squint. Then, he saw two figures standing outside the doorâa gorgeous woman wearing a complicated palace dress, and a young man wearing a yellow dragon robe with hostile looks.
These two people areâ?
Li Luoâs mind went blank for a moment in disbelief.
Wait a minute, Director, this script is clearly the wrong one!
Why would the villains in his book kidnap him? There was no such thing before when he wrote the novel.
The both of you should have been dead when the protagonist forced you abdicate. There is no need to see me before you die, for I will not feel a shred of sympathy for you!
Is it a good thing the storyline is crooked like this?! And whatâs the use of kidnapping him? He only wanted to be the protagonistâs best friend and then have a quiet and peaceful life, could it be that he would not be able to?!
Li Luoâs mind was roaring, he had a bad feeling about this.
No matter how bad he felt in his heart, on the surface, Li Luo didnât show any suspicious or precautious expressions on his faceâor rather, he had no idea what expression he should have at this moment as he faced the two main villains in his book.
