Suddenly, they saw many soldiers and officers appearing on the streets, searching everywhere.

Liu Duo's bad feeling just got worse.

Mingyun Building next door.

Wang Xiangyun stood in front of the window too. She took note of everything that happened, from the moment the gang returned to the inn to when they left and passed by her residence soon after.

It seemed like she could picture what Liu Duo was feeling at the moment: Worried, anxious, troubled, even disturbed.

Wang Xiangyun smirked, a thrill of achieved vengeance erupting from within.

Among the many soldiers that had suddenly strewn out, she spotted Ye Liu, alone. She watched as he quickly entered the inn next door. Her smile faded.

"Shuixin, did you hide him well?" Wang Xiangyun turned around and asked the girl standing by the door.

She deduced that the soldiers came because Ye Liu had asked Dongfang Ming for help. He, in turn, had assigned his men to look for the missing brother!

Knowing that they had his help struck terror within her.

"Rest assured, my lady. I've hidden him in a very safe place." Shuixin spoke in a moderate manner and with a glimmer in her almond-shaped eyes.

Her plan was foolproof!

She was confident of that.

Wang Xiangyun felt rather uneasy just looking into her eyes.

Shuixin looked nice on the outside, but there was something about her eyes that never quite managed to win Wang Xiangyun's favor!

"Wonderful!" Wang Xiangyun exclaimed and looked out the window again.

That night, Liu Duo and the gang were doomed to lose sleep.

Next door, when Ye Liu returned to the inn, he kept the two up to date about the current situation.

Liu Duo and Ye Ling were dumbfounded. H-How could he be missing?

Shaken to the core, Liu Duo hoped that the whole thing was not real!

"How could Mo be missing? H-He was just buying books, and now he's missing?" Ye Ling's voice trembled as he spoke.

This situation was really beyond their expectations.

They would be returning home in two days and then this happened!

"Could it be that Mo had a fight with someone on the way to the bookstore? And they outnumbered him, so they took him away..." Liu Duo furrowed her brows as she speculated, her voice trembling too.

They knew Ye Mo had a fiery temper, and he could be triggered when provoked, though usually he would just pull a long face and show indifference.

Liu Duo only thought of the worst when he failed to come back.

Ye Liu and Ye Ling entertained the possibility, but Ye Mo knew how to carry himself when he was away from home. He would not simply pick a fight with other people!

"Little Duo, it doesn't matter what we think. The only way to resolve this is to find Mo! Brother Ming has lent us a hand. He's sending soldiers to look for Mo everywhere. Now, don't you go making assumptions like that." Ye Liu consoled her rationally.

Then he spoke to Ye Ling. "Ling, I'm going to join Yang. You stay here with Little Duo and rest. She's with child. She can't stay up late."

"Alright. You go. I'll watch over her." Ye Ling nodded perceptively.

Other than keeping their wife company, they also did not want him to get over his head about Mo and trigger a panic attack because of it!

Liu Duo might not be able to handle a double whammy!
