Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1058 Find the trace
After Hong Jiu agreed, he did not hesitate any longer and led the people from Mingye Pavilion into the dense forest.

When Hong Jiu came back, Chu Chengyi scanned the members of Mingye Pavilion one by one, memorizing every face in his mind. After Hong Jiu left, he left the crowd without a trace and followed closely behind.

In the dense forest.

Hong Jiu followed the marks along the way and took a few gang members from the Mingye Pavilion to find An Zhixian and explained the situation in the mountain and at the foot of the mountain.

Chu Chengyi hid himself behind a tree and watched from afar as An Zhixian saluted to the members of the Mingye Pavilion with his fists clasped, and his brows couldn't help but furrowed.

Seeing An Zhixian and others scattering, Chu Chengyi waited for a while. After everyone had left, he walked out, looked around, and chased in the direction of An Zhixian.

After chasing for a while, he suddenly heard a faint sound behind him. He dodged and hid himself. When the footsteps got closer and he could see the person's appearance clearly, it was his bodyguard Guo Hao. Chu Chengyi then came out.

Seeing that Guo Hao's sleeves were stained with mud and the back of his right hand was red and swollen, he hurriedly asked what happened.

After Guo Hao explained the whole story, Chu Chengyi's eyes were filled with worry and anxiety. He turned his head to look in the direction An Zhixian left, asked Guo Hao to lead the way, and hurriedly left in the direction they came from.

Lin Jinyan stood stiffly under the tree, looking expectantly at the waves of guards who came back to report, but her expectations were shattered time and time again.

Lin Wanrong, Feng Siyao and Yue Mingzhu silently stayed by Lin Jinyan's side.

He was anxious because the person had not been found yet, and he was also afraid of hearing some bad news. In this long, fast and anxious wait, it finally came to the half hour agreed upon with Hong Jiu.

Without waiting for Lin Jinyan to send people to Dingbei Army, Hong Jiu quickly approached from far away in the dense forest. Unable to bear to look at the expectation in Lin Jinyan's eyes, he quickly lowered his red eyes and said in a stiff tone:

"Miss, we found Bai Zhi's trace."

Lin Wanrong and the others were all delighted when they heard this. Lin Jinyan let out a stiff breath of worry, her body softened a little, and looked towards the dense forest behind Hong Jiu:

"That's good. Come back and report. Is Bai Zhi behind us?"

Seeing Hong Jiu opened his mouth but didn't say anything, Lin Jinyan's heart skipped a beat. Her face, which hadn't yet shown any joy, became even colder than before:
"Where is Bai Zhi? Did something happen?" Hong Jiu's throat was dry:

"We found traces of someone falling down on the cliff... and found Bai Zhi's earrings nearby... We asked the monks and found out there is a deep pool under the cliff, so it's not completely lifeless. The young prince and Boss An have already led the others to the bottom of the cliff."

Lin Jinyan clenched her hands into fists:
"Take me there."

Hong Jiu wanted to dissuade her, but when he met Lin Jinyan's gaze, he knew he couldn't do it.

Lin Jinyan ignored Lin Wanrong's obstruction and left her, Feng Siyao, Yue Mingzhu, and the maids with them, leaving guards to protect them. She herself took Wei Zhong and several guards and followed Hong Jiu into the dense forest.

In order to speed up the journey, Hong Jiu carried Lin Jinyan on his back and kept pointing the way to Wei Zhong who was leading the way ahead.

Soon they arrived at the cliff. With the support of Hong Jiu, Lin Jinyan stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down. The bottom of the cliff was blocked by branches and vines, and she could not see it at all.

Looking at the traces of soil sliding under my feet and the freshly broken branches on the edge of the cliff, the broken branches swayed left and right under the mountain breeze because they were supported by the bark.

Lin Jinyan's heart also sank to the bottom...

It's such a high cliff, and Bai Zhi doesn't know martial arts... How can she save her life...

Lin Jinyan exhaled deeply, unable to stop the sadness and anger in her heart:

I hid Baizhi very well, no one would harm Baizhi. It is very likely that Baizhi was implicated by me. Who could it be?
