"Ah!"
"Don't! Help!"
Liu Rumei's complexion changed abruptly. She quickly pushed the door open and entered. Suddenly, a figure rushed out of the room. The unexpected force made her lose her balance. Fortunately, Mo Litian, who followed closely behind, caught her, and she managed to steady herself.
"Stop her!"
The person who rushed out was none other than the woman brought back by Liu Rumei.
Seeing this, Xue Zhan quickly regained his senses, strode forward, and stopped the woman.
However, as soon as he touched the woman's body, she let out a panicked scream and kicked at Xue Zhan with both hands and feet. "Help! Get away! Get away!"
Xue Zhan was caught off guard. He didn't expect the woman to have such strength. He was kicked right on the spot, and a scratch appeared on his handsome face!
This sudden change left Xue Zhan stunned for a moment. In all his years, he had never been treated like this by a woman.
But he quickly came to his senses and reached out to grab the woman again.
But the woman was one step faster and hid behind the stone table in the courtyard. Her empty eyes were full of panic, and her face was also filled with fear.
"Spare me... Don't come closer... Don't..."
Seeing this, Xue Zhan frowned slightly and took a slow step forward. The panic in the woman's eyes intensified. "Don't come closer! Help!"
Xue Zhan could only step back. "Don't be nervous. I won't come closer. I won't."
Seeing Xue Zhan walking away, the woman finally calmed down, but her eyes still stared warily at the four of them.
Xue Zhan frowned even more tightly. "Miss Liu, why don't you go and try?"
Liu Rumei nodded and was about to step forward when Mo Litian beside her stopped her. "This person's mental state is not right. Be careful."
Sixi tugged at Liu Rumei's sleeve. "Miss Liu, let this servant go."
It didn't matter if she got hurt, but if that person hurt Miss Liu...
Liu Rumei smiled gently. "It's okay. You all go out first. Leave this to me."
Mo Litian immediately frowned, and his gentle voice came slowly. "Miss Liu..."
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, please rest assured. I know what I'm doing." She had a hunch that this woman could give them some new discoveries!
Seeing her determination, Mo Litian couldn't help but sigh and whispered, "We'll be right outside."
Liu Rumei nodded with a smile. "Okay."
Xue Zhan didn't say much. He immediately turned around and left. Fortunately, he had quick reflexes and dodged a bit. Otherwise, if that woman had kicked him in a sensitive area, he would have been in excruciating pain!
Even so, his face still burned with pain. If his handsome and dashing face was disfigured, he would surely never forgive this woman!
Seeing Xue Zhan leave, Sixi also followed Mo Litian out, looking back at Liu Rumei every few steps. "Miss Liu, be careful."
After the three of them left, seeing that the woman had calmed down, Liu Rumei slowly walked over. Seeing her panicked look, she softened her voice. "What's your name?"
The voice was full of gentleness. The woman looked up slightly, and the panic in her eyes lessened a bit, but she still stared at Liu Rumei.
Liu Rumei slowly came in front of her. Seeing that she didn't show any signs of going crazy, Liu Rumei felt relieved. She asked again in a soft voice, "What's your name?"
The woman was slightly stunned, as if lost in thought. After a long time, she finally raised her head and stammered, "Name? My... name? Yan... Hong. Hehe, my name is Yan Hong... Hehe, Yan Hong... Do you know? My name is Yan Hong..."
"Do you know where your home is?" Liu Rumei tentatively reached out to touch her.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yan Hong suddenly stood up, stared at Liu Rumei fiercely, her eyes full of scarlet. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Liu Rumei's neck. "Kill you! Kill you! It's all your fault! Why did you lie to me! Why did you lie to me! Hahaha, you lied to me!"
Liu Rumei's breath caught in her throat, and her face turned ugly. She struggled desperately to break free from Yan Hong's hand. "Let go of me!"
Yan Hong seemed to be immersed in her own world. Her eyes were full of madness. "Kill you, and we'll be free! Haha, free!"
Hearing the commotion in the room, Mo Litian and Xue Zhan quickly rushed in. Seeing the scene in front of them, their faces changed greatly.
Xue Zhan quickly rushed forward and knocked Yan Hong out with a palm.
Mo Litian quickly freed Liu Rumei from Yan Hong's hand. Looking at the red marks on her fair neck, his eyes were full of distress. "Miss Liu, are you okay?"
Sixi's eyes were also full of panic. She quickly supported Liu Rumei. "Miss Liu?"
Liu Rumei gasped for breath. Her back was soaked in cold sweat. She forced a smile and said to the two of them, "I'm okay."
After calming her nerves, Liu Rumei's eyes were full of joy. "She's Yan Hong!"
Xue Zhan and Mo Litian were both slightly stunned. "Yan Hong?"
Sixi looked puzzled. Her round little face stared angrily at Yan Hong, who was lying unconscious on the ground. She was full of anger. How ungrateful! Miss Liu had saved her, but she had repaid kindness with enmity!
Liu Rumei nodded with a smile. "She said her name was Yan Hong. She's the first one who went missing!"
It seemed that most of those girls were still alive. But thinking of the marks on Yan Hong's body, she was afraid that they had already...
A smile instantly appeared on Xue Zhan's face. "I'll send someone to call them here right away. If it's really her, maybe we can get some clues from her mouth!"
Liu Rumei also nodded. "I picked her up outside the city. Could it be that those more than twenty people are hidden outside the city?"
"I'll send someone to investigate right away!" If he could find those more than twenty people, his injury on the face would not have been in vain!
Mo Litian was looking at Yan Hong, lost in thought.
Soon, Xue Zhan personally led his men away. Liu Rumei had someone lock Yan Hong in the room.
Sixi didn't know where she found some ointment and applied it to Liu Rumei. "Miss Liu, you must never do this again in the future!"
That woman was just too fierce!
Mo Litian stood beside them. Looking at the obvious red marks on her fair neck, he also said softly, "Miss Liu, you must never take such risks again in the future! If Yan Hong had been stronger, or if we had come a bit later, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
Liu Rumei smiled gently. "There won't be a next time."
This time, she had overestimated herself, which was why she had suffered such a big loss!
It was also because she thought there were people from Mo Liandi around her that she had acted like this...
Sixi didn't believe her at all. She pursed her red lips tightly, her eyes full of displeasure. Now it was a big problem. How could she explain this to the prince when she returned to the mansion?
Mo Litian also shook his head and sighed. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. "Miss Liu, do you think this matter could be related to the Flower Pavilion?"
