Chapter 364: Chapter 365 Let me assist you_1

"Yege is handling an investigation, and it would be improper for Nan Feng to interfere too much. He said, "If any clues pan out, be sure to inform me or if there’s any way I can help, let me know."

"Alright, you should go back first. I’ll inform you first if there are any leads."

Yege, followed by a few of his men and Chen Niannian, left. As Chen Niannian passed Nan Feng, he mentioned, "Rest assured sister-in-law, Yege is reliable in handling matters."

...

Throughout the night, Nan Feng was uneasy, worried that something might have happened to Feng Gu.

Who had kidnapped her?

What use could they have for kidnapping these unmarried women?

Is Feng Gu still a virgin? For a woman in this era, her chastity is highly prized. If Feng Gu had been violated, she would not want to continue living.

Nan Feng couldn’t fall asleep, so she simply got up and tried to think things through.

Spikenard Square had been closed all day, but it was open the day before. Aunt Pei reported that she didn’t see Feng Gu when she came to clean up in the morning. Hence, Feng Gu likely disappeared the previous night.

From Spikenard Square to Nan Mansion, the easiest shortcut would be through Liuchen Alley, where not many people pass by. Nan Feng, being skilled in martial arts, always led Feng Gu through that alley as it was a shortcut, whenever they went back.

She had forgotten to instruct Feng Gu to take the main road instead if she wasn’t around.

Such carelessness.

Nan Feng didn’t get a wink of sleep that night. Early the next morning, she went to find Yege again.

Just as she arrived at the back yard of the Yamen, she saw Yege, who had just returned. As soon as she saw him, she rushed towards him, looking concerned.

"Yege, how’s the situation?" Nan Feng asked.

Yege hadn’t slept all night and looked extremely worn-out. He took Nan Feng’s hand and said, "At the moment, the clues we’ve found are scarce. The culprits are probably not some random mountain bandits, but rather, an evil cult from Jianghu. Their approach at committing the crime consists of high concealment and leaving no trace behind. Only an evil cult could do such things," Yege maintained.

"An evil cult?" Nan Feng had no reason to doubt Yege’s words. At first, she had suspected that people from the brothel were responsible, but then she ruled that possibility out. The brothel, being a hub of criminal activity in the first place, was already an eyesore to the authorities; deliberately committing crimes and opposing the authorities would be suicidal.

The evil cult was the only reliable guess.

Nan Feng asked, "Which sect specializes in kidnapping young girls? What could their purposes be for doing so?"

"We still don’t know," Yege said.

"Are you going to continue the investigation today?" Nan Feng asked him, noticing his evident exhaustion.

Since he’d left Daping Village yesterday morning, he hadn’t slept a wink, which distressed her.

"Yes," Yege looked at Nan Feng, "With all the commotion this matter has stirred up, it has spread throughout the entire town. The county magistrate has assigned us to get to the bottom of it immediately. So once we finish breakfast, I’ll have to head out to investigate."

Yege then reassured Nan Feng, "The cult must have kidnapped so many girls for some serious evil plan, which might involve some sort of ritual. They won’t take a life so quickly. I believe Feng Gu is still alive, so don’t worry too much. As soon as there’s any news about her, I’ll let you know."

Yege’s point seemed to be that he wanted Nan Feng to go back first, but she stood her ground before him, "As a matter of principle, I shouldn’t interfere with the Yamen’s investigations, but this matter now involves Feng Gu, which makes it my concern. Yege, let me assist you, alright?"

"You?"
