Very soon, Lie Huo returned with news.

There wasn’t anything special about Song Qian; he loved science from a young age and was quite famous in the youth group for his designs and creations.

His social interactions were simple; apart from attending classes each day, he dedicated himself to research and creation at home.

After hearing this, Gu Xiaozhan relaxed, “Han Han, you know I don’t believe in coincidences.”

“Hmm, I don’t believe in them either.” In this matter, Mu Anhan was in agreement with him, so a thorough investigation was necessary.

They settled into the hotel, and Gu Xiaozhan ordered a nighttime snack.

Mu Anhan laughed, “I still prefer city life, where you can find anything to eat. It’s tough being a village girl!”

“Are you still going back to see the Master?” Gu Xiaozhan asked her.

“Alas, the Master is really old-fashioned; he doesn’t even use a cell phone. It’s impossible for me to call him,” Mu Anhan sighed.

“Maybe he just wants to live a life isolated from the world!” Gu Xiaozhan lifted his teacup, “I’ve heard the tea from Qingcheng is also delicious, high-mountain mist green tea absorbing spiritual energy from the sky and earth.”

Mu Anhan was more puzzled, “Even Auntie doesn’t have communication tools. What if Auntie comes to find him next time, and he’s not there?”

“So, you see, the Master is always waiting for her in the same place,” Gu Xiaozhan said, “He rarely goes anywhere else.”

Mu Anhan sighed, “The Master truly loves Auntie deeply! But, I feel Auntie doesn’t seem to care as much about the Master!”

“Like Zhou Yu and Huang Gai – one willing to hit, the other willing to take the hit,” Gu Xiaozhan laughed, “Stop worrying about this, eat your fill and go to sleep.”

The two hadn’t slept until dawn when they were awakened by Lie Huo banging on the door.

“Mr. Gu, Madam, something happened!”

Gu Xiaozhan was startled awake; he asked Mu Anhan to sleep a bit more and hurriedly got up to open the door, “What happened?”

“Master Tiancan is severely injured, and Master Tian Chou has been kidnapped,” Lie Huo immediately reported.

“Send the Master to the hospital immediately; Han Han and I will head over right away,” Gu Xiaozhan commanded, “Quickly investigate Master Tian Chou’s whereabouts.”

“Yes!” Lie Huo quickly got to work.

Mu Anhan had also overheard the conversation at the door; she immediately got up, put on a coat for warmth, and ran outside, “How is the Master’s injury?”

Gu Xiaozhan grabbed his jacket and walked out with her, “There’s a hospital nearby; let’s go have a look.”

Mu Anhan, anxious with worry, ran to the emergency room where the doctor was performing emergency treatment on Tiancan.

“Master…” Mu Anhan’s tears flowed like rain, “I’m sorry, it was us disturbing the Master that led to this calamity…”

Though Tiancan was very weak, he remained conscious, “Han Er, you must rescue your Auntie…”

“I will, Master, don’t worry,” Mu Anhan nodded.

The doctors and nurses pushed Tiancan into further treatment, while Mu Anhan paced anxiously outside.

Gu Xiaozhan hugged her, “I just spoke with the doctor; they said it’s just superficial wounds, not injuring any internal organs. The Master’s condition isn’t critical.”

“But Auntie…” Mu Anhan nodded, “Why did they kidnap Auntie… Could it be that they discovered her ability to change faces and are trying to use it for research…”

In this world, as we know, innocence is a sin, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

Gu Xiaozhan sighed gently, “Actually, the first thing we need to do is figure out Auntie’s true identity.”

“Perhaps only the Master knows, but he hasn’t said anything before, and now he’s injured and can’t speak,” Mu Anhan shook her head helplessly, “This means our rescue will be more challenging…”
