"Mister, who are you looking for? Tell me and I will help you go up to call them." The inn worker blocked the stairs and smiled.

He couldn't let anyone go up so as to prevent the inn guests from being disturbed. ​​

Moreover, he saw Ye Mo's feet were covered in mud so he had even more reasons not to let him up.

However, there was no loathing in his attitude and he didn't show any indication that he looked down on him.

Ye Mo was anxious to see his wife and brothers. Getting blocked made him very impatient.

He was frowning heavily and he said slightly aggressively, "I'm not here to visit anyone. My wife and brothers are staying upstairs! Room numbers two and three."

The workers smiled when he heard him. "Mister, since they are your wife and brothers, didn't they tell you they have already checked out?"

Checked out?

Ye Mo was immediately stunned when he heard him.

How could they have checked out?

Was it that he had disappeared and been gone for so many days and they couldn't find him...so they went back home?

However, he definitely didn't believe they would give up on searching for him!

Ye Mo didn't know how he'd left the inn. He walked on the streets, looking absent-minded. For a moment, he didn't know what he should do.

He hadn't slept well for the past few nights. He thought he could immediately reunite with his beloved and his brothers. He never would've thought they had already checked out from the inn.

Ye Mo's will to force himself awake gradually started to weaken. He couldn't even keep his eyes open, and his body was on the verge of collapse…

The guards sent by Wang Xiangyun found him. Just as they prepared to go capture him and bring him back, a person stopped them.

"Let him go!" Ming Yan shouted sternly.

Ming Yan had been asking around at the Mingyun Building and when he headed back to the Wansheng Building, he saw a few suspicious-looking fellas walking towards a man who had his back facing him. It was obvious they had errant intentions!

He spoke up to stop them with the intention of doing the right thing and helping that person.

And Ye Mo was pushed down by them. After struggling for a while, he fainted.

It was only now that Ming Yan realized the people were wearing clothes of the same color. He could tell they were guards of certain families. The person they were catching also wore the same clothes.

He wondered in his heart whether he'd gotten involved in something he shouldn't have...

"Mister, we were ordered to capture a guard that escaped. Please don't interfere." One of them smiled at Ming Yan.

If they failed this order, they would definitely be punished when they returned.

Ming Yan nodded when he heard him.

As a servant in the Dongfang household, he would naturally understand that guards who ran away from their masters needed to be captured and brought back. After all, their indenture was bought with money.

Of course, no guard ever escaped from the Dongfang household. It was because his master was very good.

The Wang family guards saw Ming Yan nod and immediately pulled Ye Mo up, turned around, and left…

The moment they turned around, Ming Yan suddenly saw a symbol on their waists, the word 'Wang.'

A thought flashed in his head and he quickly went up to block the way. As Ye Mo's head was lowered, he reached out with his hand to lift it up.

He frowned and said, "You guys cannot take him away!"

Because Dongfang had asked him to go find out about Wang Xiangyun's recent activities, he went to the Mingyun Building and Wang mansion to look for her but she wasn't in either place. This caused Ming Yan to start suspecting her involvement in Ye Mo's disappearance.

After all, she kept roaming around the vicinity of his master and it was really abnormal.

Although there were quite a lot of families with the first name Wang, now that he also saw the symbol on these people's clothes, he couldn't help but go forward to investigate.

"Mister, you…"

The guards still wanted to say something but Ming Yan pulled Ye Mo over to him straight away.
