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

Yiqing fell to his knees, his eyes almost losing focus.

Zhong Ziyi happened to come in and said as he walked in: "We checked the rest of the house, and there was nothing left, not even clothes. I think he was..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Yiqing kneeling on the ground, distraught, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Yiqing, what happened?"

He grabbed Yiqing's arm and tried to pull him up, but Yiqing looked dejectedly at the floor, his hands pressed firmly on the ground, his fingertips turning white and veins bulging on the back of his hands.

"Yiqing..." Zhong Ziyi looked at him worriedly, then looked at Meng Yin and the other two, not knowing how to comfort him for a moment.

Yi Qing's heart ached as he was hammered and forged repeatedly with a sledgehammer until he suffocated.

He and Tao Tao had only reached the stage of holding hands and kissing, and even then they kissed very rarely, just on the face at most. He never forced her, fearing that she would be scared. But the girl he had always carefully protected was actually tied up with chains in this house by that beast.

How devastated, scared and helpless must she have been at that time? Yiqing didn't dare to think about it. He could only support himself with one hand on the floor and tried to stand up. Zhong Ziyi hurriedly pulled him up.

Meng Yin and the other two had the same idea as Yi Qing, and they all cut Yi An into pieces in their hearts.

Xia Nian recovered first, stood up and said, "It's useless to say anything now, just focus on finding Taozi."

Meng Yin wiped her tears and said, "Yes, let's go outside and take a look."

As soon as she reached the door, she bumped into Gu Ling and took a step back. Gu Ling hugged her waist in time, and seeing her red eyes, he asked, "Ayin, what's wrong?"

Meng Yin shook her head and said, "It's okay. Are there any clues outside?"

Gu Ling reached out and stroked the corners of her eyes, and said, "Yes, we found carriage prints and horse hoof prints outside."

Hearing this, Meng Yin and the other two rushed out. Pei Xuanxi and Xiahou Yu were squatting on the ground, trying to tell when they left based on the wheel marks.

Meng Yin asked: "How about it? Can we follow this tire track?"

Pei Xuanxi shook his head and said, "They should have left a few days ago. Xiahou Yu went to the front just now and saw that the traces disappeared in the front. There were only weeds in front."

"Weeds?" Meng Yin followed the tire tracks and walked forward. Gu Ling pulled her back and said, "Ayin, don't go. It's still a long way to go. You have to go through this bamboo forest. There's no road outside."

Meng Yin frowned and asked, "Then... have you looked around?"

Gu Ling nodded and said, "I've checked, but there's nothing."

Meng Yin was deflated. Something occurred to her mind, and she hurriedly said, "Yian must be very familiar with these terrains. Gu Ling, if we go from here..." She pointed to the bamboo forest behind, "Where can we go?"

"If you look at it that way, the scope is too large." Gu Ling said.

Meng Yin paced back and forth in discomfort. Xia Nian stepped forward and said, "Or maybe they didn't go that way at all, and this carriage mark is used to mislead us."

After hearing this, Meng Yin thought about it from Yi An's perspective and understood, "I figured it out. It's because he saw that we didn't give up looking for Taozi, so he thought Xunyan was fine. Or maybe we knew Xunyan wasn't Taozi and would keep looking for them, so he ran away with Taozi."

"But he also considered the possibility that Xunyan was rescued, and thought that we would find this place sooner or later, so he used this wheel mark to mislead us."

Xia Nian's eyes darkened and he said, "That's right."

"Ahhh, this idiot! And a scheming idiot at that!" Xu Zheng said angrily, "Doesn't that mean our clues are gone?"

Pei Xuanxi stood up to comfort her and said, "Not necessarily, A Zheng."

Xu Zheng wailed, "But we don't know where they went."

Pei Xuanxi said: "At present, Tongqiu County is the most likely place. We have already sent people there."

Xia Nian said: "It will take several days just to get to Tongqiu County, I'm worried..." She leaned against the tree trunk beside the courtyard wall, lowered her head and rubbed her eyebrows.

"A Nian." Xiahou Yu walked over to her and massaged her shoulders. "Fortunately, Miss Tao is fine."

Xia Nian shook her head, her voice soft and weak: "Something's wrong, Taozi is definitely in trouble."

Xiahou Yu pursed his lips and took Xia Nian into his arms to comfort her.

The flash bombs were used up and the surroundings gradually darkened. There was no moon tonight, and under the faint starlight, the expressions of the few people were equally lonely.

With a whoosh, Yiqing fired another flash bomb. As he walked, he said, "I will take people to Tongqiu County tonight. If it's not there, we'll look for it somewhere else."

Xu Zheng immediately said: "I'll go too!"

Meng Yin gently pushed Gu Ling away and gritted her teeth, "Me too, I must find Taozi!"

Xu Zheng nodded to her, then looked at Pei Xuanxi. Before she could speak, Pei Xuanxi said calmly, "Zheng, I won't leave you for a moment. Let's be together."

Xia Nian regained some of her energy and spirit. Suddenly, her pupils shrank and she shouted, "Quickly notify the people you sent out to conduct a secret search. Don't alert Yi An and let him down."

She paused, then added: "I'll go too. I have a feeling that Taozi is there!"

The four people nearby heard her words and ordered their men to send a letter by pigeon. Yiqing looked at the other three and said, "You three are going too?"

Xiahou Yu sneered, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, raised his eyebrows and said: "Of course, Ah Nian's health is not good, we have to find Miss Tao quickly."

Yi Qing asked: "What about the sect?"

Gu Ling glanced at him sideways and said disdainfully: "Does this require your attention?"

Yiqing rarely paid attention to his sarcasm, and the disbelief in his eyes turned into a smile of understanding.

Pei Xuanxi said to Zhong Ziyi: "Brother Ziyi, are you and Miss Xunyan going together?"

Zhong Ziyi glanced at Xun Yan out of the corner of his eye. As far as he was concerned, there was no need to go, but he subconsciously looked at Xun Yan, wanting to hear her thoughts first.

Xia Nian said: "Miss Xunyan is still injured, why don't you take care of her first?"

Xun Yan pinched her skirt tightly and said, "I'm fine. I want to go with you, but I'm afraid to trouble you."

She took a step forward, took a deep breath, and said, "My life was changed because of Miss Tao. I also want to find her."

Xia Nian was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and nodded slightly.

Zhong Ziyi continued, "Then I'll come along. I've always been the one taking care of Miss Xunyan."

Xiahou Yu walked up to him thoughtfully, stroked his chin and looked at him, leaving Zhong Ziyi confused.

Xiahou Yu smiled and said, "This is unlike you. Ever since we were chosen as heirs, you have been avoiding us. Why are you so…"

He looked at Xunyan, Zhong Ziyi's ears turned red as he explained, "Since I saved Miss Xunyan, I must be responsible for her to the end."

Xiahou Yu smiled and said, "What about your Bishui Villa?"

Zhong Ziyi calmed down and said, "Just pack it up when you leave."

Xia Nian stepped forward and said, "That's good. Maybe Miss Xunyan will remember some clues." After saying that, she stepped on Xia Houyu. Xia Houyu quickly put away his playful thoughts, put his arm around her shoulders and stepped aside.

Zhong Ziyi's words made Xun Yan a little puzzled. She was originally a little worried that he saved her for other purposes, but today when she saw how several people took care of her and treated her in a normal way, she no longer had this worry. After all, birds of a feather flock together.

But when he said he would take responsibility, was he talking about the injury or her future life? If she could be arranged to be a sweeping maid in Bishui Villa, that would be the best way she could think of to repay him.

There was really nothing to check, so they finished their work and went back, preparing to rush to Tongqiu County overnight.

On the way, Xia Nian said to the others, "Let's go to Tongqiu County. Don't draw anyone's attention. Let's disguise ourselves as vendors."

Xun Yan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Miss Xia, why are you so sure that Miss Tao is in Tongqiu County?"

Meng Yin said: "Because of Nian Nian's intuition, her intuition is super accurate."

Xia Nian nodded and said, "That's right, let's just take a gamble. No matter if he's there or not, we have to go find him."

Her intuition told her that Tao Tao was there. If it was any other trivial matter, she might have dismissed this so-called intuition, but since it was about Taozi, she had to believe it even if it was just intuition.
