Chapter 496 - Feng Lian Was Back
Xiu quickly made a report to Yao Ying and Yao Ling about Feng's disappearance. He felt afraid that something bad would happen to his brother! He couldn't cover up his worry...
"How come?" Yao Ying asked in surprise. He didn't doubt Feng's skills and somehow, this thing made him feel uneasy. It meant that that person could touch him and Yao Ling at any moment if they could take Feng easily like this.
However, there was one thing that they were feeling confused about. Why did they go for Feng? It didn't make any sense. On the surface, Feng was only an ordinary servant! Was it really neccessary to kidnap him just like this? This matter seemed so weird!
"When the last time did you see him?" Yao Ling asked calmly.
Xiu told them about Feng Lian. They felt that this matter must have something to do with Feng Lian's last secret meeting. They were being calculated! They thought that she would target Yao Ling and didn't really think that they would actually target someone close to them.
"It seems like Feng Lian this woman... couldn't be kept anymore!" Yao Ying said in anger.
Yao Ling held him back. "Calm yourself down!"
"Why?" Yao Ying looked at her in confusion.
"No matter what! She's Li Guang's daughter. He has raised you and we still need a lot of information from him about your past despite our distrust of him at the moment. At the very least, we can't tear our faces with him yet," Yao Ling answered.
"But..." Yao Ying knew that she was right but she was still hesitant.
Yao Ling shook her head. "There's no but... We don't have any pieces of evidence and judging from the way Li Guang dotes on Feng Lian, he wouldn't believe you..." Besides, she already heard the report from Ying Ying.
She was confused about why the latter told her everything, but it seemed like their relationship wasn't strong enough, to begin with. When they helped Ying Ying to get away from the imprisonment... it was indeed accompanied with a hidden purpose.
Yao Ying didn't really know what to do, after all, this matter related to women's fight as well. He couldn't just take Feng Lian away and torture her. Somehow, he felt helpless. He just wanted to remember everything to make everything easier ah~!
When Yao Ling was going to say something, Xiu suddenly let out a small whimper and surprised everyone there. They knew how calm he was so it was weird if he disrupted their conversation without any reason.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu looked at him worriedly. She could see how pale Xiu all of a sudden was and he didn't seem to be faking it.
Xiu could feel that his whole body was in pain --- it was like his back was being whipped and above of all, it seemed the whip was coated with salt, making the pain feel even more unbearable. If it was his own experience, he might be able to endure it. However, he didn't have any preparation beforehand and was caught by surprise by the sudden immense pain.
It seemed like Feng was the one who was being tortured at the moment. Both of them had a special connection as twins and this was one of them! Xiu explained to them while gritting his teeth in pain. The others were surprised but after knowing Yao Ling's power, they could accept Xiu's explanation in a heartbeat.
He told his master about what happened and it made them feel worried even more.
Yao Ling sighed. "I have a way for Feng Lian to talk but well... it might offend Li Guang..." She wanted everything to go slowly but Feng was being tortured, so how could she let him be? She thought that they needed Feng for something, but torturing him?
Yao Ling didn't think that they were important enough to be targeted by those people.
To Yao Ying, Feng and Xiu were obviously more important than Li Guang. He knew that he could be called unfilial for doing this, but he didn't care. Didn't he have a reason to do all of this? No past memories!
Li Guang couldn't use this reasoning anyway. Forcing him to be filial to him? Yao Ying sneered inwardly... It wouldn't be that easy to confront him.
"Just do it!" Yao Ying made a decision ruthlessly.
They didn't care that it was already late at night and all of them directly went to Li Guang's house. Such a big movement... how could it escape Wang Luo Hai's eyes? He knew about Feng's disappearance and felt angry in his heart as well. No matter what, Feng was nurtured under him and he had a soft spot for the twins.
Wang Luo Hai was feeling satisfied with Yao Ying and Yao Ling's current decision.
They were compassionate to their underlings, showing that they indeed had good hearts and he didn't choose the wrong successors.
Li Guang was the one who felt surprised when they came to visit them this late at night. At that time, there was only him inside the house. Ying Ying had been living in the maidservant's quarters in Wang Fu after her fight with Feng Lian.
"Where is Feng Lian?" Yao Ying asked while looking around with a sharp gaze.
Li Guang wondered why they suddenly searched for Feng Lian. His eyes lit up, thinking that maybe Yao Ying finally remembered something. "Why are you looking for her?" Li Guang asked, feeling hopeful. Maybe... he wanted to take Feng Lian as his woman as well?
Yao Ling understood his expression and it irked her --- but they had a more important thing to do. Thus, she stayed quiet and let Yao Ying do all the talking.
"I am searching for a person and she seems to know where he is," Yao Ying said calmly. His calmness didn't make Li Guang feel suspicious with his intention, he was just feeling surprised.
"She went out for a little bit just now and should be arrived soon..."
Li Guang hadn't finished talking, a woman's voice floated into the room, "Dad... I am back!"
Feng Lian was back.
