My best friends both transmigrated into a book and married powerful officials; she left me and I lef

Qi Ran and Feng Hengzhi looked extremely serious. Upon seeing this, the two men being questioned quickly replied, bewildered, "It was from when the Linglong Pavilion caught fire a few days ago. I went to retrieve it afterwards."

Seeing this, another person quickly chimed in, "That's right, that's right. I also picked up this box of lip balm there. Anyway, the people inside are probably all turned to ashes by now. If we found these things, they're ours."

Feng Hengzhi was taken aback, and his expression became even more unpleasant.

He gritted his teeth, glaring at the person in front of him with a hostile expression. "What did you say? The owner of this thing has perished in the fire?"

The two people being questioned exchanged a glance and silently moved to the side. "Yeah, yeah, is there a problem?"

Then he took off running, shouting, "If you like it, you can take it!"

Fifteen minutes later, Qi Ran and Feng Hengzhi finally figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

It turns out that a few days ago, a caravan came from Shengjing.

According to sources, the convoy included a woman who appeared to be very thin and another woman who was extremely beautiful.

The characteristics they described perfectly matched those of Sang Luan and Meng Youning.

The two of them went straight to a seat and sat down.

Qi Ran looked up at Feng Hengzhi across from him, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Finally, he seemed unable to resist any longer, pursing his lips and sniffing.

He gripped the wooden hairpin tightly in his hand, then slowly raised his hand and rubbed it against his head. "You Ning, there was a reason why I treated you that way back then. How could you leave me without even giving me a chance to apologize?"

The more he spoke, the more grief and indignation welled up inside him.

The images from before flashed through his mind unconsciously: him pointing his finger at Meng Youning and cursing her, and the scene of him hitting her.

Never before had he felt so stupid as he did now.

Gradually, the sobbing sounds that started as just quiet sobs grew louder.

Before long, Qi Ran's face was covered in tears and snot.

Feng Heng kept his head down without saying a word, silently playing with the lip rouge in his hand.

He gently opened the outer box, instantly revealing the rouge inside.

He remembered that this rouge was the only box he and Sang Luan made together.

Furthermore, the box he holds is absolutely unique.

Qi Ran's crying voice reached his ears, and for a moment, he felt even more agitated.

He slowly placed the lip rouge on the table, staring intently at it.

Then, she abruptly looked away and carefully put the lip rouge back into her bosom.

He looked up abruptly and said abruptly, "Could you please stop making that noise?"

Qi Ran paused, and when she looked up, she wanted to say something, but when she saw Feng Hengzhi's unusually calm face, her crying immediately subsided. "Then what do you suggest we do now? We came out to look for someone, but now they're just gone. Where are we supposed to look?"

Feng Hengzhi frowned deeply.

The next moment, he shook his head. "I don't believe it. Luan'er will definitely be fine. Rather than the possibility that something has actually happened to them, I think this is more likely a plan they came up with to escape."

Qi Ran looked even more puzzled, tilting his head. "An escape plan?"

Feng Hengzhi raised his eyes, met Qi Ran's gaze, and said, word by word, "That's right. Don't you think about what we did back then? It must have completely broken their hearts, which is why they left."

He paused, then said, "But if we can find them and tell them the whole story, they will definitely give us a chance."

Qi Ran was stunned. "But why are they doing this?"

Feng Hengzhi parted his thin lips slightly, "Of course, it's so that this news can reach the ears of those who are interested, and aren't those two the ones who are interested?"

He pointed to Qi Ran across from him, then pointed to himself.

Qi Ran looked as if she had just realized something, "So that's how it is."

He raised his hand and quickly wiped away the tears on his face. "I understand. That means they're alright, right?"

Feng Hengzhi nodded heavily. "That's right."

Qi Ran placed his hands on the edge of the table and leaned forward slightly.

He blinked. "How are we supposed to find them now?"

Feng Hengzhi tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his expression unreadable.

After a long pause, he slowly raised his head and spoke loudly, "Let me make it clear to you, although I still don't like you, in order to find Luan'er smoothly, I don't mind sharing information with you. Let's share what we know with each other now, and maybe we can discover something we didn't know before."

After thinking for a moment, Qi Ran quickly told Feng Hengzhi everything about Meng Youning.

Feng Hengzhi lowered his eyes, deep in thought.

Immediately, he straightened his expression and reached out his hand to Qi Ran, "You said you intercepted a letter between Luan'er and Meng Youning. Did you bring that letter with you?"

Qi Ran nodded quickly and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

He handed it to Feng Hengzhi, saying, "Yes, I took it with me when I left."

He leaned forward and watched as Feng Hengzhi opened the letter. "I had already read this letter countless times on the way here and before I came. I was hoping to get some information out of it, but there was really nothing useful."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the person in front of him staring intently at a certain spot on the letter.

Qi Ran was slightly suspicious and leaned forward slightly. "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

Feng Hengzhi lowered his eyes, pointed to a spot on the letter, and lightly tapped it. "Try looking at these lines at an angle."

Qi Ran squinted at it and read aloud the contents of the paper, "Heading south."

Qi Ran's eyes widened suddenly, and she turned to look at Feng Hengzhi beside her, "Heading south!"

Feng Hengzhi leisurely put the letter away. "That's right, this letter should be the last one between them. It's not just Luan'er's greeting to Meng Youning, but also a reminder to Meng Youning not to forget the place they agreed to meet."

He slowly stood up. "According to the contents of this letter, their destination should be heading south. The first place they left Shengjing was Jingu, which is where we are now."

He lowered his eyes. "Judging from the distance, they shouldn't be too far from us. If we travel through the night, we should be able to catch up. Moreover, since they had already made plans to leave, they must have taken care of everything in an orderly manner. It's unlikely that they were carrying a large amount of gold and silver."
