Chapter 100: A Thorny Task

  In the room, Murong Piaoxue wore a white feathered robe, with black hair draped over her shoulders, and a beautiful face. She sat on the sofa behind the tea table, her eyes seeming to be focused, but actually vague and unfocused, as if she was physically present, but her thoughts had flown elsewhere.

  She stretched out a slender white jade hand from the cuff of her sleeve, gently stirring the cup of steaming tea in front of her with a gentle touch, and her beautiful eyebrows completed a shallow crescent moon.

  While Gu Ziwen sat beside him, he looked like an old monk in meditation, even sitting on the soft sofa, his body was still as straight as a spear, just like a leopard aiming at its prey, ready to pounce at any time.

  Just then, the door rang and Han Yu walked in wearing a black casual outfit. As soon as they saw him, Murong Piaoxue and Gou Ziwen stood up.

  "Black clothes!"

  "Big Brother!"

  "It's okay, there are no outsiders here, so let's not be polite." Han Yu smiled and sat down across from them. Although he was full of questions in his heart at this time, his face didn't show any signs of unease, and he just smiled and said: "You guys weren't staying in Beihai, how did you end up here?"

  Gu Ziwu shut his mouth, apparently this matter had nothing to do with him.

  Murong Piaoxue lightly bit her lip, her eyes reddening as if she was about to cry: "Hei Yi, please save Shao Yang... he's been kidnapped..."

  "Wait, wait," Han Yu waved her hand to stop the falling tears, and smiled lightly: "Don't be in a hurry to cry, first tell me, who is this Shao Yang?"

  Murong Piaoxue was interrupted by him, and she really held back her tears again. Her face showed a slightly resentful expression as she said: "Shao Yang, have you forgotten? Last time wasn't it you who asked me to introduce a doctor to you? I..."

  Han Yu slapped his forehead and suddenly said: "Oh, I remember now. Your senior fellow apprentice, that medical idiot?"

  Murong Piaoxue nodded vigorously and immediately said: "He's not an idiot, he's a genius!"

  Han Yu said with a sneer: "Genius and idiot are only separated by a thin line, before he was on that side of the line, but who knows if now he will run to this side?"

  Murong Piaoxue was so angry that she almost pounced on him and bit him, but Han Yu just smiled and waved his hand: "Just kidding, didn't you say there's no news about him? How do you know now that he's been kidnapped?"

  Recalling his own intentions, Murong Piaoxue took a deep breath and said seriously: "I also used my previous classmates and tutors' relationships to find his phone number and get in touch with him after chatting with you that day."

  "He originally said he had returned to the country and would come to drink and talk with you in a few days. However, just yesterday, I suddenly received his text message, saying that he was being followed by someone. If he couldn't call me by nightfall, then he would be kidnapped, and asked me to go to a place to retrieve something he had stored."

  "What place, take what thing, did he say?" Han Yu asked in a low voice.

  "He didn't say anything else, just that he was in Dalian and looking for someone nicknamed 'Steel Pipe'!" Murong Piaoxue said softly.

  Han Yu's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and Gu Ziwen, who had been sitting beside him without speaking, said: "The Lüshunkou District is a directly administered district of DL City, and it's also a scenic spot."

  "What is it that he wants to take then?" Han Yu slightly furrowed his brow and said softly.

  Gu Ziwen shut his mouth again, he didn't know the answer to this question. Han Yu cast his gaze towards Murong Piaoxue, and Murong Piaoxue slowly shook her head.

  Han Yu's fingers lightly tapped on the armrest beside him, as if playing a piano. Gu Ziwen remained sitting upright and still, while Murong Piaoxue looked at Han Yu with a tense expression, not even daring to breathe. She knew that Han Yu was thinking. But she didn't know what he was thinking about - whether to save or how to save.

  "Save, I must save!" Han Yu swept away the panic in her eyes and couldn't help but chuckle, first giving her a calming pill. Mu Rong Piao Xue finally put her mind at ease, but Han Yu's next words made her realize that things weren't as simple as she had imagined: "But the key is, how to save?"

  Han Yu frowned and said: "Now, we don't even know who kidnapped him or what their purpose is. This matter has become quite tricky. To say something that might not make you happy, this so-called kidnapping might just be a one-sided story from him. What exactly does this Master brother of yours do? What has he been doing in Africa all these years? You don't even know! If he did something to betray the country, then no matter how skilled a doctor he is, even if it were Hua Tuo himself, I would absolutely not save him! Not only that, but I would personally...

  "Shixion won't do that, he's not the kind of person you're talking about!" Murong Piaoxue interrupted Han Yu without any doubt.

  Han Yu was taken aback for a moment, and at this time, he could see that Mu Rong Piao Xue's relationship with her senior brother was not just a simple classmate relationship. He curled up the corner of his mouth and suddenly said something inexplicable: "In that case, we should save him even more!"

  Murong Piaoxue's face suddenly turned red, and she slightly lowered her head. Han Yu couldn't help but let out a soft sigh in his heart again, lamenting that his son's pitiful love flower had begun to wither before it even bloomed!

  Next to him, Gu Ziweng opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something. Han Yu gave him a sideways glance and said softly, "Don't worry, I have it all figured out. At present, the Tian Shui City is in chaos, so it's better for me to leave for a while. If we can earn back a super nanny, then we'll have more confidence when doing things in the future!"

  "Let's go together!" Murong Piaoxue's eyes lit up when she heard this.

  Han Yu bluntly refused: "You just stay here and help me keep watch, this time I'm going to rescue people, not go sightseeing."

  Murong Piaoxue also knew what was important and unimportant. Although she was very disappointed, she still honestly agreed with a soft "en".

  "Are you going yourself?" Gu Ziwen's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  Han Yu smiled lightly and said: "Xiao Fan's injury is only skin-deep, he'll be mostly recovered in a few more days, bring him along then."

  "How many days? Isn't it too late, he..." Murong Piaoxue felt a bit anxious upon hearing this.

  "Don't worry, since those people kidnapped Shao Yang, it means he still has some use value. Otherwise, they would have killed him with a knife long ago, and we wouldn't even have the chance to rescue him."

  Shaoyang reminded himself to help him get something, and Murong Piaoxue was slightly relieved. Just as the man in black said, the purpose of those people abducting him might be for those things.

  Just as he was thinking, Han Yu suddenly changed the subject and said: "Of course, the most important reason for not going now is that if the other party wants to kill him, they would have made a move long ago. Since it's about collecting the body, what difference does it make whether we go early or late?"

  "Black clothes, do you have such a curse?" Murong Piaoxue's eyes widened and let out a loud roar like a lion on the east of the river. The roar was high-pitched, but couldn't hide the sound of her triumphant laughter...
