Chapter 1621: Chapter 1621: Disappearance
“Husband, when did you find these people?”
Although Gu Ya offered an explanation, Su Yunjin was still sowhat perplexed. Many questions remained unanswered. Gu Ya walked over to the table, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea. “Yunjin, I’ve been selecting these people since last year,” he said. The individuals Gu Ya recruited underwent layers of scrutiny, with each round only leaving behind ten or so. Collecting the current group of around fifty to sixty people had taken approximately three months, between last year and this year.
“Last year?” Su Yunjin’s eyes flickered with a trace of surprise. She walked over to the table and casually seated herself across from Gu Ya.
Gu Ya took a sip of tea and poured a cup for his young wife, handing it to her. “Yunjin, the business at Zuixiang Restaurant is growing, and our collaboration with Yangcheng is becoming increasingly frequent. In the future, there will inevitably be more exchanges between us. These individuals I’ve trained will not only protect you and the child but also escort Zuixiang Restaurant staff delivering goods to Yangcheng.”
Su Yunjin blinked and could indeed acknowledge the necessity—many shopkeepers of prosperous businesses in town trained their own reliable n. Madam Qin’s Fuman Building had quite a few highly capable individuals.
With Gu Ya’s explanation, Su Yunjin no longer found it strange. “Husband, so these people are ant to escort Zuixiang Restaurant staff delivering goods in the future?”
“That’s right,” Gu Ya nodded. He paused briefly, then added, “Aside from deliveries, I’ll select a few of them to protect you.”
Understanding Gu Ya’s good intentions, Su Yunjin felt touched. However, being soone who valued her freedom, she disliked the thought of having people follow her everywhere—it felt too restricting. Besides, Su Yunjin didn’t think she would encounter trouble under normal circumstances. The incident with Leng Jingxian was rely an accident, wasn’t it? Surely such incidents couldn’t happen every ti, could they?
“Husband, there’s no need! I can protect myself. Don’t make them follow —I truly don’t like being shadowed everywhere.” Su Yunjin drank the tea Gu Ya had poured for her and then set the cup back onto the table.
Gu Ya looked at his young wife, his tone serious. “Yunjin, when we’re together, there’s naturally no need for them to follow you. But when I’m not by your side, I’ll only feel assured if they’re with you.”
Su Yunjin felt Gu Ya was worrying too much.
Yet Gu Ya remained adamant that these people should accompany her. Unable to argue her point further, Su Yunjin shifted focus to the more pressing matter. “Husband, regarding Leng Jingxian, what’s your plan?”
“Yunjin, with the people I’ve arranged to protect you, Leng Jingxian will absolutely have no chance to approach you. For now, stay at ho and don’t go anywhere. I’ll resolve the situation with Leng Jingxian as quickly as possible.” While organizing protection for his young wife, Gu Ya had simultaneously sent others to search for Leng Jingxian’s whereabouts.
The situation could only be fully resolved if Leng Jingxian was located. With her operating in the shadows while they remained in the light, leaving Leng Jingxian unchecked would always pose a lurking threat.
Gu Ya deployed half of the n to guard his young wife and sent the other half to covertly investigate Leng Jingxian’s location. Through inquiries, he discovered that Leng Jingxian had escaped while being escorted back to Jincheng by King Chu’s n. In addition to his own personnel tracking Leng Jingxian, it seed that people from King Chu’s side were also doing the sa.
Despite so many individuals searching for Leng Jingxian, it seed as though she had vanished into thin air—nobody had any clue about her whereabouts.
