After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

"Disciple?" Meng Yin frowned.

The city lord nodded repeatedly and said, "Just a few days ago, the priest suddenly asked his subordinates to tell me that his health was not good, and the selection of the goddess would be handed over to his apprentice!"

Meng Yin turned sideways and said, "Look, is there the person who came to inform you?"

The city lord was no longer afraid at this time. He saw it in a moment and pointed at one of the bodies and said, "It's him... He's dead too! Girl, what's going on?"

Xu Zheng was furious. She strode forward and grabbed his collar, angrily saying, "How can you be the city lord? He said to change people, so we change people!"

The city lord said with trembling legs: "I... don't have any real power, I'm just responsible for these things..."

Xu Zheng reluctantly let him go and looked at Meng Yin: "Yin Yin, what should we do now? It's already morning, and we have no news about Nian Nian!"

She suddenly remembered the whistle and said anxiously, "I'll blow it twice to see if Nian Nian can answer!"

Meng Yin quickly held her down and said, "No! If Nian Nian finds a chance to escape or hides somewhere, blowing the whistle will expose her location!"

Xu Zheng had no choice but to give up and ruffled her hair in annoyance.

"City Lord, have you seen the priest last night?" Meng Yin asked.

The city lord shook his head and said anxiously: "I'll leave it to the people below to do it..."

Meng Yin sighed and said, "Qiao Yi, arrange for someone to dispose of these bodies."

She walked slowly to the wall and slapped her palms against it.

There must be a reason why those people kidnapped Xia Nian! Meng Yin tried desperately to think about who was most likely to kidnap Xia Nian.

Tao Tao suddenly came over and cried, "Birth control pills! Yinyin, don't you find it strange? Why did Xiahou Yu suddenly find birth control pills? Nian Nian locked it in the cabinet. If it wasn't for some reason, Xiahou Yu wouldn't have suddenly found birth control pills."

"Yes." Meng Yin took a deep breath, "Someone deliberately let Xia Houyu find out about the contraceptive pills. But... how does this help kidnap Nian Nian?"

"Who told Xiahou Yu about the contraceptive pills?" Meng Yin turned and asked Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng looked grim, and said, "Miss, I don't know either, but it should be the doctor in the mansion, otherwise the Pavilion Master would not believe it easily."

Meng Yin immediately asked, "How many doctors are there?"

"Two, they usually live in the mansion." Qi Sheng said.

"Go back quickly!" Meng Yin said, running to Qiao Yi and hugging her neck.

Qi Sheng took the lead and led his men back. When Meng Yin and his companions arrived, they only saw a man in gray standing below.

Meng Yin asked: "Where is the other one?"

The man in gray said, "Doctor Li returned home last night and said that the elderly at home need care."

"What?" Meng Yin frowned, "What's wrong with him recently?"

The man in gray thought for a moment and said, "It's just a normal prescription for medical treatment, nothing special... Oh! Last time when we came back from outside, we happened to see the master and his wife walking on the corridor together, and he kept staring at his wife!"

Meng Yin asked: "Where is his room?"

The man quickly took them to where they were staying. It was a small courtyard, two sleeping rooms, a toilet, and a pharmacy.

Several people walked quickly into Doctor Li's room. As soon as they entered the door, Tao Tao smelled a strange fragrance.

She asked, "Do you smell anything?"

Both of them shook their heads. Tao Tao herself felt that the fragrance was very faint. They naturally could not smell it, but she always felt that this smell was very familiar. When she sniffed it carefully again, it became much fainter. She couldn't remember where she had smelled it before.

There was nothing in the room.

Meng Yin walked out in a daze. The man in gray came forward and said, "Girl, I suddenly remembered that he came back from outside once and said he wanted to go back to his hometown."

"Going back home? When will it happen?" Meng Yin asked.

The man in gray said, "It's been quite a while."

Meng Yin clenched her fists. This doctor was most likely related to Xia Nian's disappearance, which meant that they had been planning how to kidnap Xia Nian since then.

But who was it, who went to such great lengths to harm Nian Nian? Meng Yin held his head and slowly squatted on the ground.

Tao Tao wiped her tears and asked, "Yinyin, are you okay?"

Meng Yin shook her head, feeling like her head was about to explode.

Did they kidnap Nian Nian to threaten Xia Houyu? Or was it just revenge?

Meng Yin stopped stroking her hair, and she suddenly thought of someone - Xiahou Jing.

She was imprisoned in Ju'an Temple by Xia Nian's design. She can be said to be the person who hates Xia Nian the most, but she is under house arrest. Is it possible for her to take action?

Meng Yin thought again and felt that it was indeed possible. After all, Xiahou Jing might have some trusted confidants outside who could help her.

Without thinking too much, Meng Yin stood up and shouted, "Let's go to Ju'an Temple!"

"Ju'an Temple...looking for Xiahou Jing?" Tao Tao asked.

Meng Yin nodded and said, "Xiahou Jing is highly suspicious."

The three of them were extremely panicked. It was already daybreak, and Xia Nian had been kidnapped last night. They were worried that even if they found out who did it, Xia Nian would...

"Ah - what should I do, it's already morning!" Xu Zheng punched the tree trunk, and leaves fell from it with a rustling sound.

"Don't panic, don't panic. We have to believe in Nian Nian. She is so smart." Meng Yin tried her best to comfort the two of them. In fact, she was scared to death herself.

When we arrived at Ju'an Temple, we could only describe the place as desolate. There were no other living things around except the withered trees.

The temple was very small, with only a nun in gray clothes cleaning outside.

It doesn't take so many people to find clues. Except for Meng Yin and the other two, they only brought five people each, but it was still a big scene.

Qi Sheng stepped forward and took out the token: "Investigate the case."

The nun hurriedly dropped her broom and opened the door for them. Seeing Meng Yin and the other two walking in front, she rubbed her hands and ran over, asking in a low voice, "I wonder if someone in our temple has committed a crime..."

Meng Yin glanced at her and said, "No. Where is Xiahou Jing imprisoned?"

The nun said, "Oh! It's her. Ladies, follow me."

The nun led them through a long corridor and stopped at the innermost room, then walked up to and opened the door.

The door was obviously in disrepair and made a harsh creaking sound when it was opened.

"Madam Xiahou, someone is looking for you." The nun shouted and made a gesture of invitation to them.

The three of them went in. It was dark inside and there was a smell of paper and ink. Xiahou Jing was awakened by the voice and sat up from the bed.

After all, she was the daughter of a noble family. Even in such a situation, her hair was neatly arranged. It was just that the environment was really bad, which made her look much more haggard than before.

"It's you!" Xiahou Jing screamed, climbed off the bed and ran towards Meng Yin who was nearest to her.

Xu Zheng kicked her away, and Meng Yin shouted, "Hold her down and search the room!"

"What are you doing? Why are you searching my house? Who do you think you are? I tell you, even if I'm down and out now, I'm still a member of the Xiahou family!"

Meng Yin stepped forward and grabbed her jaw tightly: "Did you have someone kidnap Nian Nian? Did you!!!"

Xiahou Jing paused for a moment, then looked around. As expected, she didn't see Xia Nian. She laughed out loud, "It's retribution! If it weren't for her, how could I have ended up in this damn place! She must be dead! Hahahaha!"

Xu Zheng was furious and slapped her twice. Xiahou Jing's face was swollen and there was blood around her mouth.

Meng Yin said coldly: "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I will have you nailed to a board and paraded through the streets as a warning to everyone."

Xiahou Jing screamed and said sternly: "How dare you do this to me! I am from the Xiahou family, how dare you!"

"Why shouldn't I? Who is in charge of the Xiahou family now? I tell you, if Nian Nian's disappearance is related to you, just wait." Meng Yin gritted her teeth and turned to look at Qiao Yi behind her.

Qiao Yi stepped forward and grabbed her jaw. A worm crawled out from her sleeve and was slowly crawling towards her mouth.

“Ahhhhhh!!!” Xiahou Jing struggled and finally couldn’t bear it anymore. She cried out, “It’s not me! I didn’t know at all! I’ve been here all day and can’t go anywhere!”

"Qiao Yi." Meng Yin said. Qiao Yi understood and withdrew his hand.

At this time, someone came forward with a note: "Madam, I found this in her pillow."

Meng Yin took it and looked at it. There were three words written on it: Leave it to me.
