The neighbors were talking about it, and some speculated that he was abducted by a beggar, but Liu thought to herself that her nephew was already eight years old and was no longer an ignorant child.

Moreover, his nephew was the son of an official and was dressed elegantly. If those kidnappers were not so cruel, how could they easily target such a target?

As a result, more and more people tend to believe that this incident was not accidental, but someone deliberately targeted the Liu family with the intention of revenge.

Liu was worried all day, hoping to find her nephew's whereabouts as soon as possible.

"Cousin, please don't be too anxious. Can you tell me my nephew's date of birth and time?" Sheng Junwei asked in a gentle tone.

Liu had already memorized her nephew's birth date and horoscope. Upon hearing this, she quickly took out a carefully written piece of paper with her nephew's birth date neatly recorded and handed it to Sheng Junwei personally.

Sheng Junwei took the piece of paper, looked at it carefully, and her brows revealed concentration.

After a while, Sheng Junwei stood up and comforted Liu, saying, "Please be at ease, cousin. My nephew is still safe and sound and is trapped somewhere in the city. But we must rescue him as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if he survives, he may still suffer from some hidden dangers of illness."

After that, she turned her gaze to Zhang: "Mother, I need a few strong guards to accompany me."

Faced with such a major matter concerning human life, how could Zhang not agree?

"Okay, everything will be done as you say. Aunt Li, quickly select ten palace guards with the most outstanding martial arts skills in the palace, and go with the young lady to rescue people."

Originally, Sheng Junwei only planned to take two people with her. When she heard Zhang's arrangement, she was a little surprised, but soon relieved. After all, having more people would be more advantageous in the rescue operation.

Everyone quickly got ready to go. Liu hastily told the driver, "Go back to my house first and take my father and brother with you. They are extremely anxious right now. If you don't tell them that there is a clue, they will probably be running around like headless flies."

Sheng Junwei frowned slightly but did not say anything to stop it. She understood that this move would reveal the truth and make the mastermind behind the scenes nowhere to hide.

The carriage galloped, and after about a quarter of an hour, it finally arrived outside the Liu family's residence.

As soon as Sheng Junwei and Liu got out of the car, they saw a group of nervous-looking family members rushing into the yard.

Sheng Junwei swept the crowd sharply, finally fixing her gaze on one of them. Her eyebrows slightly raised, as if she had realized something.

The man noticed Sheng Junwei's gaze and his expression instantly turned gloomy.

As soon as Liu entered the courtyard, she was stunned by the scene in front of her. Her puzzled eyes instantly locked on her father and brother, and she blurted out: "Dad, brother, where are you going?"

The Liu family was already sparsely populated, and by the generation of Liu's elder brother, there were only two children, one of whom was a son.

At this moment, in addition to the loyal servants of the Liu family, there were also many relatives who came after hearing the news. The courtyard was bustling with people, as if a dark cloud was covering the Liu family's house. The atmosphere was solemn and tense.

When Liu's brother saw her return, a look of relief flashed across his face, "Sister, you're back at the right time. We have just found the clue about Huan'er and are preparing to rescue her. You go in and accompany mother first, and we will bring Huan'er back safely as soon as possible." His concern and determination for his nephew were evident in his words.

Although Liu was surprised by the sudden news, she was more delighted: "Really? Did you also find out that Huan'er is still in the city?"

However, Sheng Junwei did not reveal the specific location to her, but only vaguely said that the person was in the city.

At this time, Brother Liu's answer had a subtle deviation from the information in her memory.

"Not in the city, but in Mount Taihuang!" Brother Liu said firmly, "There is a den of beggars hiding kidnapped children on the hill. I will destroy the den of these unscrupulous guys with my own hands and chop them into meat sauce to relieve my hatred!"

When Liu heard this, her expression suddenly changed and she subconsciously turned her gaze to Sheng Junwei who was silent beside her.

She remembered that Sheng Junwei had clearly told her that Huan'er was in the city, so how come it has become Taihuangshan now?

Sheng Junwei had no obligation to correct Liu's brother's statement, but she chose to respond to Liu's doubts honestly: "Your nephew is indeed not in Taihuang Mountain. He is still in this city. Besides, I don't recommend you to go to Taihuang Mountain blindly to look for him."

Liu's face turned pale instantly, and she shouted anxiously to her brother: "Brother, Huan'er is not in Taihuangshan!"

After hearing this, Brother Liu was slightly stunned, and then looked at a man with an outstanding figure beside him.

This person who looks like a man is actually a woman. She is Han Yueer disguised as a man.

Han Yue'er's eyes were cold, and she responded without giving in: "If you really trust the notorious daughter of the Sheng family, you can doubt me. But if anything happens to your son, don't say I didn't warn you in advance."

Han Yueer has absolute confidence in her judgment.

She concluded that Sheng Junwei, a woman who would only hide in the formation and shrink back, first send people to find out other people's backgrounds and then wait for opportunities to mock them, would never send people to monitor a child from an ordinary family in advance.

Therefore, she decided to take this opportunity to expose Sheng Junwei's hypocritical mask and let the old lady of the Zhang family see her ignorance and stupidity.

Is there really such a strange person in this world who can see through the fate of others just by counting with his fingers?

Those so-called prophecies are nothing but tricks used by charlatans to deceive the world!

At this moment, Liu's brother was immediately thrown into disarray when he heard that his only son was in danger of losing his life.

Seeing this, Lord Liu said to him solemnly, "Go and comfort your mother first. Leave this matter to us. Just wait for good news."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand with great pride and led everyone away resolutely.

When passing by Sheng Junwei, a hint of cold contempt and complacency flashed in Han Yueer's eyes.

Faced with this sudden change, Liu urgently asked Sheng Junwei for help: "Sister-in-law, what should we do? Are we just going to sit back and do nothing?"

Although Sheng Junwei was questioned and provoked, she remained calm and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Liu's originally tense mood gradually eased as she spoke softly.

Seeing Sheng Junwei so calm, Liu couldn't help but wonder: "Sister-in-law, are you..."

Sheng Junwei gently raised her index finger, placed it against her lips, and made a "shut up" gesture, signaling her to stay calm.

At this time, deep in the alley, a ghostly black shadow was lurking quietly. His gloomy eyes were fixed on the movements of the Liu family, closely watching whether the men of the Liu family had gone to Taihuangshan as planned.

After confirming that everything was correct, he rubbed his palms nervously. Although the plan seemed to be going smoothly, there was still a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

After the conversation between Liu and Sheng Junwei ended, the black shadow hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to follow Lord Liu and the others out of the alley.
