As the saying goes, good things don't work, but bad things do.

Two days later, one evening, Gu Yin passed by Nishang Pavilion and went in to pick up her mother to take her home.

"Tingxue greets the county princess." Tingxue didn't expect to meet Gu Yin here, and her brows were immediately filled with joy.

The color of Ren Tingxue's clothes today is extremely similar to Gu Yin's. She wears a goose yellow gauze half-sleeve and a bright red folded skirt, which makes her look both playful and pretty.

Gu Yin was also happy to see her, "No need to be polite, it's getting dark, why are you still here?"

"I ordered some clothes a few days ago, and I came to pick them up when I had time."

"Then take it and go back quickly. It's not safe at night."

When Tingxue heard Gu Yin's concern, she thought of the result of the discussion between her sisters a few days ago. Perhaps following Gu Yin would be a good choice.

Tingxue lowered her eyes calmly and replied softly, "Thank you for your concern, County Lord. However, the county is very safe under the management of Lord Gu. It won't be a problem later. Tingxue will get her clothes and go back later."

"You must be on guard against others. Especially women, you need to be more careful when you are outside."

In modern times, where surveillance is everywhere, people still dare not say they are 100% safe, let alone in this backward dynasty.

Ren Tingxue nodded.

Gu Yin hurried to the backyard, but was told that her mother had already returned home, so Gu Yin had to go back by herself.

It was getting dark quickly and there were two furtive figures in the dim alley.

"Skinny Monkey, are you sure the person is in the carriage?" the man with a scar on the left side of his face asked in a low voice.

"It's absolutely true! I saw the woman enter the store with my own eyes, and she came out again not long after."

"The same clothes, there's absolutely no mistake!" the latter emphasized again.

"That's good! We must seize this opportunity! Let's do this," said the man who started the conversation, "I'll stop the carriage first, and you rush over from the side and sprinkle the powder on it..."

"Okay, boss!"

So, when Gu Yin's carriage passed by, a man suddenly ran to the middle of the road.

"Whoa! Whoa!" Little Leo quickly pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yin's voice came from the car.

At this moment, the man named Shouhou threw the powder at Xiao Lizi's face. The large dose of the drug made Xiao Lizi faint before he could answer.

Not getting the expected answer, Gu Yin immediately became alert and hurriedly grabbed Zhenzhu who was about to lift the curtain, but unfortunately she was still a step too late.

A handful of powder was sprinkled in from outside, and Gu Yin subconsciously held her breath. However, the amount of powder was too large, and Gu Yin inevitably inhaled some of it, and her head suddenly became dizzy, and she couldn't hold on for a while, and fell in the carriage.

"Boss, what should we do with the other two people?" asked the skinny monkey in a low voice.

The scarred man said irritably, "There's a pile of firewood not far ahead, throw them in there!"

"What if they wake up and report to the police?" Skinny Monkey asked worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? With the amount of drugs they inhaled, they won't wake up until tomorrow." The scarred man said disapprovingly, "By then we will have sent them out long ago!"

It was already dark when Gu Huaiyi returned home. Xue went out to greet him. She glanced behind him and asked in confusion, "Where's Yin'er? Why didn't Yin'er come back with you?"

Gu Huaiyi's heart skipped a beat. "What did you say? Yin'er hasn't come back yet?"

"No, isn't she with you?" Gu Yin occasionally came back late, usually with her father.

"I haven't seen her since this afternoon." Gu Huaiyi suddenly felt something was wrong. "Although this girl is a little crazy, she never comes home after dark."

Mrs. Xue's face was filled with anxiety. "Is Yin'er safe? No, I have to go find her."

As she was about to go out, Gu Huaiyi pulled her back and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I'll send someone out to look for her. You wait at home. Maybe Yin'er will be back soon."

Gu Huaiyi did not delay and made arrangements immediately.

Xue paced back and forth in the corridor anxiously, then forced herself to calm down and thought about the friends who usually played with Gu Yin.

Xue called a servant to go and inquire, "Remember that at least two people should travel together."

The servants came to Jun's house to inquire, and Song Ruorou knew something was wrong when she heard the news. Gu Yin was such a reliable person, even if there was something he couldn't handle, he would definitely send someone back to inform.

Song Ruorou ran to the mansion without saying a word and told Jun Lan about it as soon as possible.

Jun Lan's face was grim, and he called Mo Yi over, "Mobilize all the people who can be mobilized, and find them for me!"

Then he took Mo San and rode towards the city gate.

At the South City Gate, Gu Huaiyi listened to the reports from his subordinates one by one, and finally couldn't help shouting, "We've been searching for so long, and you can't find any clues at all!"

Fortunately, two constables came hurriedly, each of them carrying a person on his back, "Sir, we found the young lady's maid and coachman in the alley!"

Seeing Zhenzhu and Xiaolizi, Gu Huaiyi's heart sank. Something really happened to his daughter. "Quickly wake them up! Ask them where the young lady has gone!"

After a while, Zhenzhu woke up slowly. When she saw Gu Huaiyi, she immediately remembered what happened before she fell into a coma and said anxiously, "Sir, hurry up and save the young lady!"

"Where did you young lady go?"

"Miss..." Pearl cried, "I don't know. I only know that the carriage suddenly stopped in the alley, and then someone sprinkled a lot of powder into the carriage, and we fainted."

Unable to get any useful clues from the two men, Gu Huaiyi could only ask people to expand the search area.

Just then, Jun Lan appeared on horseback.

Gu Huaiyi only wanted to find Gu Yin, so he went up to Jun Lan and asked for help.

Jun Lan pursed his lips, "Master Gu, there is no need to do this. I will find A Yin back myself."

After saying this, Jun Lan stopped talking. He didn't know which way the criminals escaped, and chasing them rashly would only delay the important work, so Jun Lan could only patiently wait for the results of his subordinates' investigation.

After waiting for half an hour, Jun Lan no longer hesitated and rode his horse to chase after him.

As dawn was about to break, Gu Yin woke up while being shaken. When she moved her limbs, she found that her hands were tied and her mouth was also bound with a cloth strip.

A voice came from outside the carriage, "What bad luck! If we hadn't taken the wrong road, we would have handed the person over by now!"

"That's right, boss. But it's almost here and we'll get the money soon!" Another tired voice came with some excitement.

"I've been tormented all night, and it's finally over!"

Gu Yin tried to untie the rope while listening to the complaints of the two people in front of him.

From their conversation, Gu Yin heard that someone was paying money to kidnap her, which made Gu Yin a little confused. Who was it?

What's the point of tying her up?

Before Gu Yin could break free, the carriage stopped, which meant they had reached their destination.

The car curtain was opened, and Gu Yin had no choice but to close her eyes and continue pretending to be dizzy.

Not long after, Gu Yin was thrown into a room. After making sure that there was no one else in the room, Gu Yin opened his eyes.

The furnishings in the room are not simple, and it can be seen that this is at least a wealthy family.

But what kind of wealthy family would kidnap me?
