Chapter 8: Chapter 76: A-Chen Has Gone Missing

The Feng Estate was vast. The four of them, along with the servants recently purchased by the household, searched together, turning almost the entire estate upside down, yet they still could not find her.

As evening approached, there was still no sign of A-Chen anywhere in the estate.

Feng Chuge's heart remained suspended in anxiety; her already cold and aloof countenance was now as frigid as ice.

"Miss... perhaps A-Chen went out to play..."

"She wouldn't just run out without saying anything," Feng Chuge said with certainty.

"Who was guarding the main gate today?"

"Miss, I will go call them over," Zi Lan said, hurrying outside.

Before long, two guards stepped forward.

These guards stationed at the Feng Estate's main gate had been transferred from the Fengyue Pavilion and were completely trustworthy.

"Did you see A-Chen go out today?"

The two guards shook their heads. "No, Miss. Didn't you and the three young ladies stay indoors all day today?"

"Then did you see any strangers coming in?"

The guards continued to shake their heads.

Feng Chuge's eyes flickered. At this moment, the ominous premonition in her heart grew even deeper...

Feng Chuge suddenly stood up and headed outside...

"Miss, where are you going?" Zi Lan and the others chased after her, asking.

Feng Chuge did not answer them, merely pressing forward with determination.

At this moment, there was only one thought in her heart

A-Chen has gone missing!!

She had to find her!!

Feng Chuge's figure streaked through the air as she prepared to head out.

But at that moment, a guard rushed up—

"Miss... there is a letter here!!"

Feng Chuge's footsteps faltered. She turned around and took the letter...

Once she had finished reading the letter completely, the temperature surrounding Feng Chuge suddenly became as cold as ice, devoid of even a trace of warmth.

A flash of killing intent surged in the depths of her eyes!

She gripped the letter tightly in her palm...

"Miss, what's wrong?" Seeing Feng Chuge's expression, Zi Lan and the others stepped forward anxiously to ask.

Feng Chuge narrowed her eyes coldly—

"A-Chen has been captured!!"

"What?" Those nearby were startled by the news.

Feng Chuge ignored their reactions and looked toward the guard who had delivered the letter, asking, "Who delivered this letter just now?"

"It was the night watchman. He said someone instructed him to deliver it, but he doesn't know specifically who it was."

Feng Chuge narrowed her eyes and rose into the air, finally heading out...

Zi Lan and the others did not dare to delay, following closely behind Feng Chuge.

By now, the sky had turned completely dark.

It was only the first day of the lunar month; there was only a sickle-shaped moon in the sky, and everything around was shrouded in pitch-black darkness.

The figures of Feng Chuge and her group streaked across the sky above the capital of Tianqi, almost circling the entire capital before finally arriving at the edge of a small forest on the outskirts of the city.

The night wind blew. Although it was clearly still a relatively warm season, the moment this night breeze hit, a chill that seeped into one's very bones spread everywhere.

"Miss, where are we?" Zi Lan and the others had followed Feng Chuge all the way here. Looking at this desolate place, even they felt a sense of dread.

"It's here... The letter said A-Chen was tied up here by them. If we want to save her, we have to come here... It seems... the opponent is targeting A-Chen to get to me."

Hearing this, those behind her gritted their teeth in anger. "Who on earth is so despicable to use such methods against Miss..."

Feng Chuge narrowed her eyes slightly—

"If it's not the Shui family, then it's someone from the Feng family. Currently, only they have such a motive."
