After tiring her for a long time without untying her, Lin Baoer finally had no choice but to sharpen it slowly with the blade.
I don't know how long it took, but at least the rope tied to Chu Jingzhe's hand was worn away.
As soon as the rope on his hand was untied, Chu Jingzhe spontaneously began to untie the rope on his body. After a while, the two of them fell to the ground panting.
"Bao'er, why do you have a blade?" Chu Jingzhe rubbed her sore face, her voice was astringent and hoarse.
Lin Baoer put the blade away and lied without blushing, "I just found it on the ground. Maybe someone dropped it."
Chu Jingzhe would not doubt a child's words, and he let out a sigh of relief after hearing this. Faintly worried, "What should we do? According to what you said, if the person who kidnapped us is the groom, then someone must have bribed the groom first, and that's why."
"This is premeditated."
" Is that coming for me, or... you?"
Chu Jingzhe lowered his head and glanced at Lin Bao'er, and saw that she was still looking around, her little face was stained with dust, and she looked very haggard, and she couldn't help but feel sad. Sighed softly.
Why is she telling a child this?
Now that she is the only one around Bao'er, she must cheer up.
After thinking about it, she wiped the ashes on Lin Baoer's face and rubbed her wrist distressedly, "Does it hurt?"
Lin Baoer shook his head obediently, "It doesn't hurt."
Chu Jingzhe thought she was being sensible and said this. Even more pity.
"Don't worry, when they find out that we are missing, they will definitely send someone to rescue us."
Lin Baoer nodded obediently again.
[I'm just afraid that what these people want is not money, but life! ]
[If it really takes our lives, we may not be able to wait until Big Brother and the others come to save us! ]
Lin Baoer was a little annoyed that he didn't bring Xiaoqing out.
Otherwise, she would have asked it to go back and tell the news by now.
At this time, the Lin Mansion was in the study room.
"Dad, Jiang Cheng's line is probably going to be broken." Lin Zhiyu sighed, "The people sent by the prince learned that those sent by Jiang Cheng seemed to have deliberately avoided the coastal area. Maybe they noticed that We've got a clue."
"Not only that, the letters sent back in the past few days revealed that the person in the trading den where we were originally lurking suddenly changed, and the goods traded returned to normal objects."
Lin Qiming wrote. He paused with his hands and raised his eyes, "Did they find out that Merber did it that day?"
"It shouldn't be." Lin Zhiyu shook his head, "Merber did not leave any clues that day, and the third prince was not on Merber's body that day. Whatever the investigation found, it stands to reason that he should have no evidence to prove that it was Merber who did it."
"It seems that the third prince is more cautious than we thought."
Lin Qiming put down his pen and moved the paperweight aside, "That's probably the case. This incident shocked him and made him panic. No matter whose family it was that lurked into the prince's mansion, he had lost something important and that's why he gave the order to stop testing the
third prince . On the contrary, we were able to scare the snake away."
"But, dad, we also took the opportunity to find out another thing." Lin Zhiyu narrowed his eyes: "There is a man named Qi on the coast in western Anhui. He often does maritime business. There was so much business at sea that he didn't pay much attention to it. "
But this change suddenly made our people discover something was wrong."
He went to the pawn shop again, but nothing happened. "
But just these days, on the 15th of this month, he went to Wenshu Pavilion in the middle of the night." "Although it was hidden, our people still discovered it."
Lin Zhiyu slowly said, "Finally, we followed and discovered that the owner of Wenshu Pavilion originally belonged to the Linjiang Heng family, and then it was transferred to the Wanxi Xu family.
"And the Xu family has quite a relationship with Mr. Xu in Yanjing City. I heard that he is his cousin outside the hall. He doesn't interact with each other on weekdays. He only writes a few letters during the holidays." Lin
Qiming came from behind the desk. He walked out and cleaned his hands: "Master Xu belongs to the neutral faction in the court, and he has not yet decided which side he is on."
Lin Zhiyu nodded: "If there are any problems, I will find out."
Lin Qiming was about to nod, Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"It's not good, my lord! It's not good, my lord! The fourth lady is missing!"
The expressions of the two changed and they opened the door quickly.
"What did you say?!"
When they arrived at the main hall of Lin Mansion, they heard Shen Xuelan's anxious and worried voice from a distance.
"Look for it quickly! How could two such big people disappear inexplicably! Send more people!"
Seeing her face turning pale and her body feeling weak, Lin Qiming hurried over to help her, "Madam."
" Husband!"
Tears finally fell from Shen Xuelan's eyes when she saw him.
"What's going on?! How did Bao'er disappear?!" Lin Zhiyu was worried.
Lin Mobai didn't dare to look at his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "Miss Chu's maid came to report just now. Her young lady and Bao'er were enjoying the flowers in Baichun Garden, but at noon they wanted to go to Shenghuai Restaurant. They were eating, but halfway through the carriage, they lost consciousness. When they woke up, they were in the wilderness.
"At that time, Bao'er and Miss Chu disappeared. They ran back as hard as they could to deliver the message. " Son."
Lin Zhiyu was stunned when he heard this.
"What did you say?...Miss Chu also disappeared?"
His voice was a little stiff.
"In my opinion, how can this be a disappearance? It's obviously a blatant kidnapping!" Lin Ruqian was angrily, her eyes red with anxiety. "I don't know who is so vicious as to kidnap a child. She is still so young. What if something goes wrong? What happened..."
As soon as Shen Xuelan heard this, tears suddenly came out again, and she burst into tears.
"Why is it that my baby always suffers from disasters! She is still so young..." She choked, making others anxious.
"Then hurry up and look for it!" Lin Zhiyu turned around and wanted to run outside, but was stopped by Lin Mobai halfway.
"Brother, don't worry." Lin Mobai clenched his fists and took a deep breath, "We are more anxious than anyone else if Bao'er is lost, but many people have been dispatched before and reported to the official. As soon as there are clues, we will He will come back and let us know."
"We are waiting for you and dad to come here just to discuss another matter. I feel it is very strange."
"What?" Lin Zhiyu frowned, his hands and feet became weak in fear. It's really not good.
Lin Mobai said: "Just now Miss Chu's maid said that her lady received a letter before, and the letter asked her to go to Baichun Garden to enjoy flowers in our name, but she didn't arrive, so she took it alone. Baoer wants to go to Shenghuai Restaurant for dinner."
