Xu Shaoting listened as Lu's mother recounted the events in detail.

Only then was it confirmed that Qin Yu had indeed disappeared.

Seeing this, Lu's mother was truly at a loss.

Thinking of Qin Yu, I wonder where he is now, and whether he is suffering.

She immediately burst into tears, heartbroken.

"If anything happens to her, how can I face her, how can I face her parents?"

Lu's mother, her eyes red and brimming with tears, pleaded with Xu Shaoting for help.

"Young Master Xu, please, please save my Qin Yu."

"My Qin Yu is timid and frail. What will I do if something happens to her?"

Qin Yu flashed through Xu Shaoting's mind.

Thinking about how that woman always seemed so indifferent in everything she did.

She rarely smiled, but when she did, it was a smile that resonated deeply.

Thinking of that beautiful woman, I wonder how terrified she must be now.

Xu Shaoting felt as if he was suffocating.

He forced himself to calm down.

"Manager Du, please escort Madam Lu back, then come find me at the restaurant!"

After hearing the instructions, Manager Du, together with Wu Cuicui, took the heartbroken and weeping Lu's mother home.

After sending Lu's mother back, they found Xu Shaoting at the restaurant.

"Young Master, what do we do now? Who did Miss Qin Yu offend? Could she have been kidnapped?"

Xu Shaoting paced back and forth.

Upon hearing him mention who he had offended, I immediately realized what was going on.

"Call a few people and come with me!" Xu Shaoting called to a few people and led them out the door.

They ran into Qin Qiang at the door.

"Young Master Xu, what are you doing?"

Qin Qiang saw Xu Shaoting leading so many people as if they were going to fight, and asked him in confusion.

Xu Shaoting hesitated whether to tell him.

Then Manager Du spoke first.

"Miss Qin Yu has gone missing, and our young master is about to go look for her!"

"What?" Qin Qiang clenched his fist upon hearing this.

Xu Shaoting knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he stopped trying.

He told Qin Qiang the whole story.

After listening to Xu Shaoting's words and seeing his actions, Qin Qiang seemed to understand.

He said, "Young Master Xu, I'll go with you. I want to see where this man has taken my sister!"

Qin Qiang and Xu Shaoting walked out together.

They arrived at the Jin Gui Restaurant in no time.

"Lin Jingui, come out here!"

Qin Qiang shouted loudly, and the Jin Gui Restaurant, which was not crowded before, was bustling with activity.

The few remaining people also ran away.

Seeing this, Lin Jingui walked out unhurriedly.

"Young Master Xu, what's this all about? Bringing so many people here, are you planning to smash up my Golden Noble Restaurant?"

Before Xu Shaoting could speak, Qin Qiang was the first to rush out.

"Was it you? Did you kidnap my sister?"

"What, your sister has disappeared again?" Lin Jingui asked with a gloating smile.

"Your sister is missing, what do you want from me? I'm not her man, why are you looking for me? I don't even know where she went."

Seeing his smug look, I clenched my fists, wishing I could beat him up.

He had only taken two steps when Xu Shaoting stopped him.

“Brother Qin, I know you’re worried about Qin Yu’s safety, but we can’t cause trouble without evidence.”

Xu Shaoting saw Lin Jingui's calm and composed demeanor.

What was initially just a skeptical attitude has now become a firm conviction.

Qin Yu is now in their hands, and he can't risk angering Lin Jingui.

If you anger him and he does something, you'll regret it.

Qin Qiang is prone to losing his temper when it comes to Qin Yu.

First, they calmed Qin Qiang down.

Then he spoke to Lin Jingui.

"Young Master Lin, why make things difficult for a woman when it's between you and me?"

"Xu Shaoting, is this a matter between you and me?"

Clearly, Lin Jingui no longer thinks that way.

“Look at my restaurant. She was the one who sold you the mushrooms. If it weren’t for her, how would I have known that mushroom soup could be used to make oden? If it weren’t for her, how could anyone have been poisoned?”

Lin Jingui blamed everything on her.

"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be in jail."

Lin Jingui grew angrier the more he thought about it; this woman was quite capable.

They were even able to do business with Xu Shaoting.

"Back then, your restaurant was nothing but a nobody here. Even you, Xu Shaoting, would avoid me when you saw me. And now?"

"If she hadn't been there to help you, would you have the right to stand here and talk to me?"

Lin Jingui became increasingly angry as he spoke.

He has always believed that Xu Shaoting's current situation is due to Qin Yu.

"Xu Shaoting, no one's luck lasts forever. Without that little wench, let's see what you're capable of!"

Xu Shaoting had to admit that it was because of Qin Yu that he let go.

He learned a lot from Qin Yu, learning her business methods and how she managed and avoided risks.

He was indeed very lucky to receive Qin Yu's help.

He was also glad that he and Qin Yu were on the same side, and that he was able to realize his ambitions and ideas.

So when Lin Jingui said these words, he was speechless.

"So you're the one who had Qin Yu kidnapped? Where did you take her?"

But now, compared to him saying those things that provoke his dignity, it's something else entirely.

He was more concerned about Qin Yu's safety.

“I never said I took her away. She has hands and feet and is capable. How could I take her away?”

When Lin Jingui realized that Xu Shaoting was trying to get information out of him, he immediately said that he didn't know.

"You've said so much just because you're jealous. Now that your restaurant has reopened, what more do you want?"

Xu Shaoting already knew Lin Jingui's thoughts; after saying so much, he was still prioritizing his own interests.

Why don't you tell me what you want?

He wouldn't hesitate at all if he could just take it out.

"What do you want?" Lin Jingui smiled.

"Hahaha......"

She turned to look at Xu Shaoting, as if trying to confirm something.

"If I remember correctly, she seems to be a widow. You're so willing to sacrifice yourself, could it be that you have feelings for this widow?"

Xu Shaoting felt as if he had been hit in the chest.

His complexion also showed a slightly unpleasant expression that was barely perceptible.

"These are none of your business. Just tell me what you want in exchange for her release?"

Xu Shaoting quickly recovered and suppressed those complicated and strange emotions.

"I don't want anything, the person isn't in my hands!"

Lin Jingui didn't expect Xu Shaoting to be willing to exchange things.

He didn't want to admit that he hadn't thought of that.

I should keep the person in my grasp so that I can exchange them for terms that are favorable to him.

But now the person has been sold to a brothel.

Since he's so adamant about denying it, we can't admit it now.

Even though Xu Shaoting had learned to be calm from Qin Yu, he couldn't remain calm at this moment.

Seeing that Lin Jingui was unyielding, a fire was burning within him, ready to erupt.

"Lin Jingui, you've gone too far!"

"I'm also making this clear: if anything happens to Qin Yu, I will make your Lin family pay a hundredfold!"
