The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 675: Returning Home to Deliver the News
Da Ya hadn’t run far when the three masked pursuers caught up.
In broad daylight, masked figures appeared on the street, causing passersby to scream in fear and scatter.
The three masked pursuers seemed intent on holding Da Ya back, preventing her from returning to report the news. Upon catching up with her, they engaged in a fight on the street.
Da Ya was frantic with anxiety, but alone against three masked pursuers, she couldn’t escape immediately.
Fortunately, the Inspection Bureau quickly noticed the unusual activity and fired signal flares, mobilizing reinforcements to come over.
The three pursuers saw the signal flare and knew the Inspection Bureau’s reinforcements would soon arrive. They gritted their teeth and held on for a while longer. Suddenly, one of them whistled, and all three leaped onto the rooftops, disappearing in moments.
Da Ya finally broke free and rushed to the Duke Mansion.
Jiang Youzhi was in the main courtyard, listening to Housekeeper Lin report on the wedding arrangements alongside Lady Wu.
Da Ya, covered in wounds, burst in from outside, causing Jiang Youzhi to abruptly stand up.
Da Ya was Yun Jiao’s personal guard, so her reckless entrance could only mean Yun Jiao was in trouble.
He looked at Da Ya, and in that moment, he was even afraid of the words about to come out of Da Ya’s mouth.
Da Ya fell to her knees, gasping for breath, "Reporting to Master, the young lady was just abducted near the Gu Mansion. There were many of them, including several experts. I am useless."
Lady Wu also stood up abruptly, "The person was abducted, in which direction did they go?"
Da Ya shook her head in shame, "I do not know, Mistress."
Lady Wu turned to Jiang Youzhi, "It must be that brat who took Jiao Jiao away!"
"No matter, we’re going to Yan Mansion to demand her return!"
Jiang Youzhi clenched his fists, his eyes red, "No, if we go demanding her return, the abduction of Jiao Jiao won’t stay hidden. Besides, Yan Beichen definitely isn’t in the mansion now; demanding her return will do no good."
Lady Wu said urgently, "What to do then? The wedding is tomorrow, and if the bride isn’t there, all the guests will find out!"
She scowled, "Why don’t we go to Yan Mansion and capture Grandmaster Yan? If that brat doesn’t release Jiao Jiao, I’ll risk it and take that old bastard’s life!"
Jiang Youzhi was frantic with worry, but he knew he couldn’t afford to lose control. If he did, he wouldn’t be able to save Jiao Jiao.
He furrowed his brow, "That would be pointless; Yan Beichen will surely keep Jiao Jiao somewhere hidden, the people at Yan Mansion might not know!"
Lady Wu was anxious, "Then what to do, where do we even start looking without a direction!"
Jiang Youzhi’s mind raced, then he suddenly strode outside, "Half a year ago, Yan Beichen secretly bought two estates outside the city."
"I’ve always had people monitoring those places; I suspect he’s using them to raise Death Warriors again."
"But one of those places had jade slabs transported in. My people managed to investigate, and those jade slabs are used to pave the ground." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Lady Wu followed Jiang Youzhi outside, saying, "Paving the ground with jade slabs? That brat is too extravagant!"
Jiang Youzhi squinted, "An estate that requires jade paving is surely of great importance to him; Jiao Jiao is very likely there!"
He speculated that with Yan Beichen’s regard for Yun Jiao, perhaps that place was intended to be the gilded cage where he’d imprison her.
Reaching the door, Jiang Youzhi instructed Ah Qiu, "Prepare the horses, gather everyone, and follow me out of the city!"
Ah Qiu brought along most of the mansion’s personal soldiers and guards, and soon, more than a hundred fast horses galloped towards the outskirts of the city.
