"Young ... Young Master!" The servant was caught off guard and immediately knelt down on the ground with a plop, scared.
Just seeing him was enough to strike that much fear?
He walked over step by step, observing the servant trembling on the ground like a sifting chaff, his gaze cold as ice spikes, "What are you panicking about?"
The servant didn’t dare to lift his head, "Nothing ... nothing ..."
"If it’s nothing, then why are you running? Do you want me to throw you into the pond and feed you to the fish?" His voice suddenly turned vicious, and he violently yanked the servant from the ground and hurled him toward the fish pond.
That fish pond was no ordinary pond—it was home to several man-eating fish.
Seeing this, the servant was petrified and let out a scream. In mid-air, he clutched desperately at his master’s arm, "I’ll talk, I’ll talk, Young Master, I’ll tell you, the young madam is missing, she’s gone!"
The young madam is missing?
He questioned whether he was hearing things, "Who did you say is missing? Say it again?"
"The ... the third young madam, she was missing since last night. Everyone in the garden ... has been searching all night long, and still hasn’t found ... her ..."
Time seemed to stand still; the air was filled with a dangerous and chilling presence, a bloodthirsty aura, and the feeling that everything could erupt at any moment.
They had searched all night and found nothing?
The man felt as if something had shattered inside his chest. The next second, in a swift motion, he flung the servant into the fish pond, then ran like a madman toward the small courtyard.
Ou Mufeng, if anything happened to that girl, he swore he would kill her with his own hands!
He sprinted all the way to his residence, the Orchid Garden, and indeed, it was chaos. Inside, there were many people standing around, including his mother, and, to his astonishment, he saw police officers in uniforms!
Everyone inside was discussing fiercely and tensely!
"Madam, it’s been almost ten hours now. Can you think of any other places the young madam might have gone? Tell us, and we’ll search there too."
"Her legs are disabled, and her mind doesn’t recall things; where else could she go? I’m telling you, it must be Ou Mufeng and his family who have kidnapped her. That mother and daughter have never wished her well—it has to be them!"
At these words, the policemen immediately felt troubled, "We’ve already confirmed with the eldest miss. She says she has nothing to do with this matter. She was in the hospital all night, how could she possibly kidnap your daughter-in-law?"
"If not her, then who else could it be? My daughter-in-law wouldn’t even recognize the door if she went out; where else could she have gone? In this freezing cold, I’m telling you, you’d better find her before my son returns, or you’ll all have to face the consequences!"
Bai Tingfang, who had not slept all night, was nearly driven mad, shouting at the top of her lungs!
Indeed, last night, because of the scandal involving the Ou family already causing her enough headaches, she was terrified out of her wits when Wang, from Orchid Garden, suddenly came to report that the third young madam was missing, forcing her to go to Orchid Garden to search for her.
But what terrified her most was that when she arrived at Orchid Garden, she truly couldn’t find the girl anywhere, not in the bedroom, nor in the downstairs hall, nor the garden; she didn’t see even a shadow of her.
