Chapter 734: Chapter 734: See Again (3)_1

"My Lord." Ming Meiren looked at him excitedly. In Ming Meiren’s heart, no matter how cruel Hong Ying and the others were, Chu Suifeng was not. Because she had given almost everything for Chu Suifeng. Why couldn’t he understand her feelings?

"It has been confirmed." Congyi hurriedly came in to report, "Her maid is a spy from the North Country, and a black-armored soldier in the residence has been bribed by her. The Princess should be hidden somewhere in the city, and after she left Wang Residence, they’re no longer responsible for her."

"No." Ming Meiren pricked up her ears, "How could Qingting be a spy from the North Country? She clearly is..."

"Brainless." Situ Gong sneered at her, "You don’t even know when the people around you are compromised, yet you were chosen by the Prince to manage the back courtyard."

With the confessions of Qingting and the black-armored soldier, Situ Gong actually knew that Ming Meiren had not participated in the kidnapping of Lin Ziyin. But even so, Ming Meiren was not without responsibility.

Qingting, the black-armored soldier, and the people in Qin Meiren’s room dug a tunnel together. As the manager of the back courtyard, did she really received no word about it at all?

In the final analysis, Ming Meiren had a selfish heart. And it was precisely this bit of selfishness that allowed Lin Ziyin to be secretly taken out of Wang Residence.

"Search the whole city again." Chu Suifeng gave the order coldly.

"My Lord, it’s already midnight, we should wait till dawn. The city gates are sealed, and the folks from North Country definitely couldn’t take the Princess out of the city." Situ Gong stopped him.

Even if Chu Suifeng was the supreme ruler of the Northern Land, if he repeatedly spared lives, it wouldn’t be good. With just one day and one night, the citizens of Feng City who were unaware of the truth had already begun to panic.

Should there be a widespread search tonight, the people would likely panic even more. Besides, once Situ Gong learned that the people from the North Country had kidnapped Lin Ziyin, he was rather relieved. Because his guess was, if the people from the North Country were targeting Lin Ziyin, they must know what she’s capable of.

So, they risked coming to the Wang Residence to kidnap her, with an obvious motive. The people from the North Country definitely did not want to harm Lin Ziyin. On the contrary, they would take good care of Lin Ziyin along the journey to achieve their aim, not letting her suffer even a bit of grievance.

"Rest, and start the search immediately when day breaks." Chu Suifeng was not stupid; anything that Situ Gong could think of, he too had thought of. As soon as he confirmed that Lin Ziyin was not in mortal danger, Chu Suifeng immediately recovered his calmness.

Chu Suifeng was able to manage the entire Northern Land by himself, showing that his tactics and wisdom were indeed remarkable. Once he calmed down, he immediately began to consider in his heart: who in the entire Northern Land might be involved in this? What was their purpose? What methods could the enemy use to take Lin Ziyin out of Feng City? He pondered each one in his mind.

Situ Gong and Bai Xian were relieved to see him finally regain his calmness. However, the disappearance of the Princess also exposed the inadequacies in the management of the Wang Residence. The two began to consider how to strengthen the defensive capabilities of the Wang Residence.

That night, there were enormous gains. Ming Meiren and Qingting were all subjected to the heaviest of punishments, and the traitorous black-armored soldier was even worse off, being paraded to the vegetable market every day to be subjected to a slow, torturous death.

The following day, before dawn, all the main family members of the Lin Family arrived at Wang Residence.

"My Lord, has the Princess really disappeared?" Lin Changshu couldn’t wait to question Chu Suifeng as soon as he saw him.

Tears were already on the faces of Lin Zige and Guo Huiniang, while Lin Changting clenched his fists and gritted his teeth without saying a word.

Looking at the older Lin family head who seemed to have aged a lot in the past few days, Chu Suifeng felt terribly guilty. He knew that Lin Ziyin had always valued family ties, and now that she was not in the Wang Residence, he had to take good care of her elderly family members.
