Su Qianqian's face turned pale instantly after listening to Mitao's narration. As for Cuizhu, Su Qianqian didn't have much interaction with her, but in her opinion, Cuizhu was just a simple little girl of 14 or 5 years old, just like Mitao. Su Qianqian's eyes were sharp, and she clenched her fists little by little. She couldn't imagine that Qinghe would be so cruel to Cuizhu. She knew that Qinghe had always been a cruel person, but she didn't expect that she would be so crazy.

"Mitao, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Su Qianqian held Mitao's hand tightly, her voice trembling slightly.

"Miss, I saw it with my own eyes, how could I be wrong?" Mi Tao said anxiously, with fear still in her eyes, "Cui Zhu...she is so pitiful, we have to find a way to save her!"

Su Qianqian took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that the most important thing now was to find a way to rescue Cuizhu, otherwise she didn't know what crazier things Qinghe would do to Cuizhu. Su Qianqian looked back at the medical book on the table and said, "Let's save people first." Su Qianqian thought to herself.

"Mitao, don't be anxious!" Su Qianqian calmed Mitao's emotions, while also quickly thinking of a countermeasure in her mind.

She knew that Qinghe murdered Cuizhu because she knew that Cuizhu might have heard some unspeakable secrets of the Second Aunt! As long as I can find a way to make Cuizhu speak, tell a lie to Qinghe first, and give her one day, I might be able to save her life.

Thinking of this, Su Qianqian had an idea in her mind. She decided to go talk to Cuizhu in person. However, when Su Qianqian arrived at Cuizhu's room, she found that she was no longer there. She asked the people around her, but no one knew where she was.

Su Qianqian's heart sank. She knew that things had become increasingly difficult. Qinghe might have taken further action against Cuizhu, and she had to find Cuizhu as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Su Qianqian was extremely anxious. Cuizhu's disappearance made her unable to sleep or eat. She knew that it would be far from enough to find Cuizhu by herself. So she decided to seek help from Gu Yuan and Gu Peng.

She walked through the busy streets and headed straight for Tianxia Building. Along the way, Cuizhu kept appearing in her mind. That little girl who was always smiling, diligent, and timid was now missing. This made Su Qianqian's heart feel as heavy as if it was being pressed by a huge rock.

Su Qianqian brought Mitao to the door of Tianxia Building. There was no time for formalities. She grabbed Mitao and ran into Gu Yuan's room, pushed the door open, and just in time Gu Yuan opened the door and was about to go out. Su Qianqian bumped into Gu Yuan's arms, and she was so shocked that she let go of Mitao. Su Qianqian rubbed her red nose: "Gu Liu, what are you doing! Don't you even look at the road?" Then Gu Yuan looked at Su Ning's nose that was hit, "Ning'er, what happened? Why are you so anxious?" Gu Yuan asked with concern.

Su Qianqian didn't bother with the pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Gu Liu, Cuizhu is missing! Although I don't have much contact with her, she is only 14 or 5 years old after all. I know the second aunt's methods. You have a wide network of contacts, can you help me find her?" "Let's go find my second brother." So, Gu Yuan took Su Qianqian to Gu Peng's room and told him the situation. They knew that since Su Ning was so anxious, Cuizhu's disappearance must be very serious.

The three of them sat together and began to discuss the next action plan. Su Qianqian told Gu Yuan and Gu Peng about the previous experience of searching for Cuizhu and the clues she had obtained, hoping that they could find some new breakthroughs from it.

Gu Yuan and Gu Peng fell into deep thought after hearing this. They knew that it might not be easy to find Cui Zhu, but since they had decided to continue to help, they had to do their best. They began to sort out clues and analyze where Cui Zhu might go and who she might meet.

After some discussion, they decided to split up. Gu Yuan was responsible for investigating the situation on the day when Cuizhu disappeared to see if there were any witnesses or suspicious people. Gu Peng used the secret guards of Tianxialou to contact their friends and acquaintances in the city to see if anyone had seen Cuizhu or heard any related news.

Su Qianqian decided to go to the places where Cuizhu might go to look for her. She knew that this might be a bit blind, but at least it would increase the chances of finding Cuizhu.

In the following days, the three of them were busy looking for Cuizhu. Finally, one evening, Gu Yuan brought back an important piece of news. He found a witness who allegedly saw a strange man talking to Qinghe on the day Cuizhu disappeared! Su Qianqian immediately stood up and said to Mitao, "Stay at home, I'll be back soon."

Gu Yuan, Gu Peng and Su Qianqian did not stop even after getting the new clues. They knew that time was of the essence in finding Cuizhu. So, even though it was getting late, they decided to continue their action and go to the witness overnight to learn more.

The streets were exceptionally quiet at night, with only the breeze blowing gently. The three hurried on their way, their hearts full of expectation and anxiety. They hoped to get more information about Cuizhu's whereabouts from witnesses, but at the same time they were worried about Cuizhu's safety.

Finally, they arrived at the witness's residence. After knocking on the door, a middle-aged man appeared in front of them. Gu Yuan stepped forward to explain his purpose. The witness nodded and recalled: "That day I did see a strange man talking to Qing He for a few words, and then Qing He gave him some money. I thought it was a bit strange at the time, but I didn't think much about it."

"Then do you still remember the appearance or characteristics of that strange man?" Su Qianqian asked anxiously.

The witness thought for a moment and described the man's appearance and clothing features. "Oh, that man should have a scar on his face, a scar!" Although the information was limited, it was a big progress for Su Qianqian and the others.

The three said goodbye to the witness overnight and returned to their residence to discuss their next plan. They decided to split up early tomorrow morning and look for the strange man based on the clues provided by the witness. At the same time, they will continue to mobilize more connections to find Cuizhu's whereabouts.

At the same time, Cuizhu gradually woke up and found that this was a completely unfamiliar environment. She vaguely heard someone drinking tea on the other side. She looked through the screen, trying to see the person opposite clearly. The person seemed to have heard that she woke up, so a short, fleshy, wretched and disgusting old man walked out from behind the screen. The old man looked at Cuizhu with an impatient look. Cuizhu's hands and feet were tied and she had no power to fight back. The old man with lustful eyes said to Cuizhu, "Be obedient! Wait until I have enjoyed myself. If you serve me well, I will take you as my 15th concubine!" As he said that, his big hands slid along Cuizhu's clean and white collarbone. Reaching down, Cuizhu cried out with tears in her eyes. Seeing that Cuizhu's outer clothes had been torn to pieces, only the last layer of underwear was left. Cuizhu bit the man's ear fiercely, and only heard "Ouch, my ear". The man's ear was bitten and bleeding. After the bite, the man grabbed Cuizhu and slapped her twice, which made Cuizhu a little dazed. Then the man said: "Since you don't want to drink the toast, let's get out of here and call ten thugs in! Let's serve this hot-tempered girl together! They stuffed Cuizhu's mouth tightly with cloth to prevent her from biting her tongue to commit suicide!" Then they threw Cuizhu on the table. Two people held her hands and two people held her legs! The old man directly tore off Cuizhu's last underwear. Cuizhu looked at these wretched men around her and shed tears deeply! At this time, the room was flashing with figures, and only the old table could be heard making a heart-pounding creaking sound under the heavy pressure. Every squeeze and friction of the wood was like a silent cry. With the rough movements of the men, the table made more and more noises, as if it would collapse at any time due to the violence. Cuizhu was tied to the table, tears blurring her vision. She listened helplessly to the creaking sound, her heart filled with fear and despair. The sound was like the mockery of the god of death, which was constantly amplified in the darkness and was creepy.

The next morning, the three of them started a new round of searching. They came to a busy market according to the clues and began to search for the strange man in the crowd. Although the process was full of hardships and setbacks, in a small alley, Su Qianqian saw the man with scars on his face as the witness said, and followed him quietly. At the end of the alley, Su Qianqian called him, her eyes firm and calm. She knew that this battle was inevitable and must be resolved quickly!

The man glanced at Su Qianqian from head to toe, and spat, "Don't block my way, get out of here," and then he took the lead in attacking, waving a dagger towards Su Qianqian. Su Qianqian dodged flexibly and pulled back with her backhand. With a crisp sound of "dang", the gangster's dagger was knocked to the ground.

The man was startled, but did not retreat. He continued to rush towards Su Qianqian with his bare hands, trying to subdue her with brute force. However, Su Qianqian was agile and was able to accurately dodge every attack.

The roar of the gangster man echoed in the alley. Su Qianqian pushed the gangster man into a corner. She pinched his throat with her hand and said coldly: "Tell me the whereabouts of Cuizhu, otherwise I will send you to death!"

But the man still had hope, he said in a trembling voice: "Don't... don't kill me, I really... really don't know!

A hint of coldness flashed in Su Qianqian's eyes. She tied up the man and dragged him to Tianxia Building like a stray dog!

Gu Yuan and Gu Peng were drinking tea upstairs. Gu Yuan held the teacup in his hand and nodded to the waiter. Tianxialou was closed for customers! Gu Peng tapped the table with his hand, looking at the man with a cold look in his eyes.

Su Qianqian threw the man away and said, "I'll ask you again," her voice was cold and firm, "Where did Cuizhu go?"

The man knew that Su Qianqian was not someone to be trifled with. However, he was still playing rogue, pretending to be innocent, trying to get away with it: "I... I really don't know." Su Qianqian's eyes were stern, and she lost her patience in an instant. She suddenly stepped on the man's hand, and there was a "click" sound, followed by the man's scream. Then, Su Qianqian tightly grabbed the man's collar and quickly raised her hand, slapping the man hard twice. Blood immediately flowed from the corner of the man's mouth. He looked at Su Qianqian in horror, his eyes full of fear and disbelief. "If you don't say it, I'll have someone remove your jaw and make you unable to speak forever!" The man was completely intimidated by Su Qianqian's momentum at this moment. He knew that if he didn't tell the truth, he might really lose his life. He said in a trembling voice: "I... I... Zuiyue Tower... That girl is in Zuiyue Tower. I really don't know where it is exactly.

A hint of coldness flashed in Su Qianqian's eyes, and she looked at the man coldly: "You'd better pray that what you said is true, otherwise I will make you live a life worse than death." After saying that, she turned and left!

Gu Yuan and Gu Peng followed closely behind, "Second brother, do we need to intervene..." Gu Peng waved his hand, "Let her handle it herself, we just need to watch quietly, she can handle it!"

The night was like a huge black claw, covering the entire Jingzhou in its shadow. Su Qianqian's heart was burning, and her steps were hasty and firm, shuttling through the intricate streets and alleys, just to find the green bamboo that was cruelly teased by fate.

Suddenly, at the end of an alley, the three characters "Zuiyuelou" flashed strangely in the night, as if silently challenging Su Qianqian. She pushed the door open, and was greeted by the suffocating turbid air and obscene music. Su Qianqian's eyes swept through the crowd like a sharp blade, not sparing every face and every corner.

Finally, she saw the heartbreaking figure in the darkest corner. Cuizhu, she curled up in the corner like a broken doll. When Su Qianqian saw the bloodstains under Cuizhu's body, an inexplicable anger rushed directly into Su Qianqian's brain. The once lively and innocent girl was ground down by the cruel reality. Her clothes were torn and her body was covered with scars. Every scar seemed to be a silent accusation against Su Qianqian.

Anger and sadness surged in Su Qianqian's heart like volcanic magma, and her eyes flashed with unprecedented coldness. She strode towards the green bamboo, and every step was like walking on the edge of a knife. The pain in her heart made it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"Cuizhu!" She squatted down and hugged the trembling figure tightly in her arms. A trace of astonishment flashed in Cuizhu's eyes, and then turned into endless tears.

"Miss... Miss... Save me..." Cuizhu's voice was weak and sad. Her fingers tightly grasped the corner of Su Qianqian's clothes, as if grasping the last straw: "Don't be afraid, Cuizhu. I will take you home." Then Su Qianqian took off her cloak and covered Qinghe's body. She brought Qinghe out of the dark corner and found a random place for her to sit there first. Then she turned around and walked towards the gangsters. Cuizhu looked at Su Qianqian's back at this time. It was as tall and indestructible as a mountain. This left a deep impression in Cuizhu's heart. The night was as dark as ink. Su Qianqian stood in the corner of "Zuiyue Tower" and stared at the gangsters who were gradually approaching. One of the gangsters looked at Su Qianqian and said, "If you want to take her away, you have to ask us first!" His eyes revealed obscenity and ferocity. Su Qianqian's eyes were cold: "Tell me, who of you bullied her? Stand up!" A man with a hunched back and a mouth of yellow teeth said with lustful eyes and a teasing tone: "Who! Hahaha, we are all here! Which brother present today has not tasted the woman behind you? Hahaha, do you want to taste it with her too?" Hearing this, Su Qianqian looked back at Cuizhu, and then her murderous aura made the gang of gangsters retreat several steps!

The gangster in front rushed towards Su Qianqian with his fists waving. She quickly dodged sideways and raised her right leg to kick the man's abdomen. With a dull "puff" sound, the gangster bent over in pain. Su Qianqian did not give him a chance to breathe. She immediately stepped forward, grabbed his hair, pulled back hard, and at the same time, slammed her knee into his face. The gangster screamed and fell on his back.

At this time, another gangster attacked Su Qianqian from behind. She felt a gust of cold wind. She turned around quickly, blocked the man's attack with her left arm, and hit his temple with her right fist. The gangster fell down and fainted.

However, more hooligans surrounded her, wielding iron rods and knives, and were aggressive. Su Qianqian was not afraid at all. She dodged the attacks flexibly and looked for opportunities to fight back. A hooligan swung a knife at her, and she rolled over to avoid the blade, then grabbed the man's wrist and twisted it hard. The hooligan let go of the knife in pain, and Su Qianqian took the opportunity to kick him in the chest, kicking him out. Su Qianqian's figure flashed quickly under the light. She sometimes dodged attacks and sometimes launched counterattacks. Every move was precise and swift. Her fists and feet fell on the hooligans like a storm, leaving them powerless to fight back.

A gangster hugged Su Qianqian from behind and tried to throw her to the ground. She sank her body and pushed back hard, causing the man to loosen his grip. She turned around quickly and punched him hard on the chin, causing the gangster to fall to the ground.

Another gangster rushed towards Su Qianqian with an iron rod. She jumped to avoid the attack and stretched out her right leg to sweep the man's waist fiercely. The gangster screamed and fell to the ground. Su Qianqian took the opportunity to step forward and stepped on his chest, making him unable to move. With another force, she crushed his bones!

After a fierce fight, Su Qianqian finally knocked all the gangsters to the ground. She stood under the light, panting, her clothes soaked with sweat. Her eyes were still firm and bright, as if they could penetrate the darkness!

Su Qianqian walked to Cuizhu and gently helped her up. Cuizhu's eyes were full of gratitude and awe. She knew that it was Su Qianqian's courage and strength that allowed her to regain her freedom. The two supported each other and walked out of that dark corner!
