A group of maids went in and out of the yard and searched everywhere several times, but still couldn't find the eldest daughter of the Li family.

Even when the eldest girl disappeared, no clues were left.

She inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lord Shi with a gloomy face. His cold eyes seemed as if he was going to kill someone the next moment. Old Madam Li was so scared that she almost couldn't breathe. She opened her mouth and cried out, "Qiqi, where are you?" If you don't come out, the Li family will be in great trouble!

Shi Wei'an was upset by Madam Li's howling, so he said coldly, "Shut up!"

Madam Li's eyes suddenly widened and she fell silent in shock.

Li Youbin looked unhappy, but helpless.

The women standing in the courtyard stepped back tremblingly, silently reducing their presence.

At this time, Shi Weian's guards also came over, but just like the group of maids before, they still couldn't find Li Qiuqiu's whereabouts.

The guards knelt down in front of Shi Wei'an with their heads down. The chief guard stared at his master's cold eyes and said calmly, "Sir, I am incompetent and cannot find out why the lady disappeared."

They had searched the entire Li Mansion, even breaking into the bride's bridal chamber, but could not find any clues. Now they did not even know whether the criminal who kidnapped the lady was a man or a woman...

"A bunch of rubbish! I spent so much money to support you, but you can't even find a single person!"

Shi Weian had a cold face and kicked away the kneeling guard leader in front of him. He walked into Li Qiuqiu's room and said, "Li Youbin, come here!"

Li Youbin, who was suddenly called, froze all over and couldn't help shivering. He quickly responded "yes" and quickly followed.

When passing by Lord Jia, Li Youbin suddenly stopped, looked at Lord Jia and said, "Why don't you go in and take a look too?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Jia glared at Li Youbin, brushed his sleeves and snorted coldly as he stepped forward: "Okay."

Shi Weian has entered the room.

Li Qiuqiu's room is spacious and clean, and the interior decoration is also very simple. The jewelry on the dressing table can be seen clearly at a glance.

There was only a screen between the bed and the door.

Shi Wei'an closed his eyes, and suddenly thought of something, so he shouted to the outside: "Linglong, come in."

Linglong, who was waiting outside, hurried in.

Linglong knelt on the ground, suppressing her fear and asking, "I wonder if the Master has any other instructions?"

"You said earlier that you just went to close the door, and when you turned around, you couldn't see your wife?"

Shi Wei'an stared at the screen with a sharp gaze and asked in a cold voice, "Is the lady standing behind the screen to change her clothes?"

Linglong nodded: "Yes."

Li Youbin and Lord Jia came in at the same time.

Hearing this, Li Youbin subconsciously asked, "Did the lord find anything?"

Shi Weian was silent and thoughtful.

Lord Jia took a few steps forward, followed Shi Weian's gaze, and also saw the screen.

Lord Jia frowned slightly and said softly, "Do you think there is something wrong with this fan screen?"

"really."

Shi Weian came back to his senses and walked closer to the screen. He lowered his head and sniffed the screen a few times. He instantly smelled a very light fragrance.

Shi Wei'an was no stranger to this kind of fragrance, "Someone has sprinkled incense on the screen."

"If I am not mistaken, Qiqi was standing behind the screen at the time. She fainted from the incense and was abducted by the criminals."

Lord Jia stepped forward and found that there was indeed a fragrance on the screen as Shi Weian had said. The fragrance was very light now, but after smelling it a lot, he still felt a little dizzy.

Lord Jia immediately stepped back and said, "If your guess is correct, then in your opinion, where would the villain hide in advance?"

Shi Weian's eyes fell on the couch.

Lord Jia understood instantly: "The villain hid on the couch beforehand, and abducted Madam after she fainted..."

"But the lady's maid was also in the room at the time, why didn't she hear anything?"

This is really hard to understand.

Linglong said in a panic: "My lord, I really didn't hear anything. I would never dare to lie to you!"

Shi Wei'an stared at her coldly: "Go out and kneel first. If you can't find your wife, you will die to apologize!"

"Yes."

Linglong was terrified and didn't dare to delay. She quickly got up, left the room and knelt outside.

Upon seeing this, Madam Li and Butler Qi looked at each other, and each of them felt an inexplicable fear in their hearts.

The atmosphere in the room was still solemn.

Shi Wei'an suddenly turned his eyes to Li Youbin and asked, "Li Youbin, is there a secret passage in Qiqi's room?"

"This……"

Hearing this, Li Youbin raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, hesitatingly saying, "I don't know about this either. How about I go out and ask my grandmother?"

Shi Weian stared at him with a sullen expression, remaining silent for a moment.

Li Youbin's scalp tingled instantly, and he rushed out to ask his grandmother: "Grandma, is there a secret passage in my sister's room?"

Madam Li was stunned. "How...how do you know?"

"Is there really a secret passage?"

Li Youbin exclaimed, "Master Shi is really amazing! I didn't expect that Master Shi could guess it right at the first try!"

Thinking of this, Li Youbin supported his grandmother and walked into the room: "Grandma, come in and tell Lord Shi where the secret passage is..."

"Master Shi suspects that my sister was most likely taken away by the criminals through the secret passage."

As soon as Madam Li walked in front of Shi Weian, she heard Shi Weian's deep voice: "Where is the secret passage?"

"there."

Madam Li pointed to the tea table on the right side of the bed, on which was a porcelain vase. "That vase is the mechanism that opens the secret passage outside."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Weian had already walked over, grasped the porcelain vase in one hand, and turned it vigorously.

In an instant, the wall on the right seemed to crack in the middle and slowly move to both sides.

At the same time, another nearly two-meter-long screen with a pattern of "Thousands of Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" was pushed out from the entrance of the secret passage, just blocking the entrance behind.

Seeing this, Shi Weian finally understood how Qiqi disappeared.

Lord Jia and Li Youbin, who were standing by, were extremely shocked, as if they had never seen anything like this before.

Li Youbin murmured, "So there is such a secret passage hidden in my sister's room?"

Why didn't he ever know?

Madam Li glanced at him and sighed, "This secret passage was originally in the room. It was Qiqi who first discovered it, and then Qiqi came to tell me."

"I once went in there myself and found that the other side of the secret passage led to Bin'er's yard..."

"It actually leads to my yard!?"

Li Youbin was horrified, "Oh no! The bride I just brought back is still in the yard!"
