"These were all sent by Young Master Hu," Lin Xiuhua said with a smile. "Little Fan cured the old lady last night, and they specially sent gifts!"
"Mom, how can you be like this?" Yang Zixin frowned. "How can you just accept such valuable items? How will this make Little Fan feel?"
"Look at what you're saying. It's precisely because these items are valuable that we accepted them," Lin Xiuhua stated frankly. "If they were worthless trinkets, I wouldn't have accepted them!"
Yang Shiwen also happened to overhear this and walked in from outside. "These items are so precious, quickly send them back and don't tarnish the Yang family's reputation!"
"You're saying it all wrong. Little Fan cured the patient, and it's only right for them to send a small gift," Lin Xiuhua said directly. "How does this tarnish our reputation?"
"Uncle, since they've been accepted, let's just accept them!" Lu Fan said with a smile. "Aunt is right. Since I cured the old lady, it's only natural for the Hu family to send gifts!"
"It's Little Fan who speaks sense!" Lin Xiuhua nodded. "Since you don't need them now, Aunt will keep them for you for the time being and return them to you when you have time!"
After speaking, Lin Xiuhua took the items towards the room, seemingly without any reservations, as if these items were a gift to her.
Yang Zixin's expression was awkward. He had never expected Lin Xiuhua to say that.
Lu Fan, however, appeared indifferent. These items were of no use to him.
After dinner, Lu Fan found an opportunity and went to Jiangjing Bieyuan. However, only Gu Wen was there.
"Master, why do you have time to visit?" Gu Wen stepped forward. "I heard you're doing quite well over there!"
"Indeed, I'm doing well!" Lu Fan nodded. "Unfortunately, I haven't found my maternal grandmother. Please send people to inquire these few days. If there's any news of my grandmother, inform me immediately!"
Gu Wen quickly nodded. He was looking at documents from Qingyun Group and dared not be negligent. This was a task entrusted to him by Lu Fan.
"Where is Han Yunhai?" Lu Fan looked around. "Why don't I see him?"
"Master, you haven't seen them?" Gu Wen was surprised. "He should have gone to find you."
"Looking for me?"
Lu Fan was even more surprised. "Why is that?"
"I'm not too clear about the specifics, but it seems to be about Miss Lin!" Gu Wen shook his head.
"Lin Ke?"
Lu Fan's heart trembled. He had been in Chuzhou for some time, and Lin Ke had always been in Jiangbei. Could something have happened?
Just then, Han Yunhai arrived. Seeing Lu Fan, his joy was even greater. "My Lord, why are you here?"
"What happened?"
Lu Fan said gravely, "Did something happen to Xiao Ke?"
"News from Jiangbei indicates that Miss Lin Ke has gone missing!"
Han Yunhai said helplessly, "I don't know which forces are responsible!"
"Gather the people of Qingyun Sect and march to Jiangbei!"
Lu Fan's expression was cold. In order to find Du Qianqiu and his maternal grandmother, he hadn't spent much time with Lin Ke after their marriage.
If something happened to Lin Ke, how could he rest assured?
Meanwhile, in a villa in Jiangbei, Lin Aotian's face was ashen as he paced back and forth, filled with anxiety.
Lin Ke was his biological daughter. Now that she had just taken over the company, such a thing had happened.
"Uncle, why are you so anxious!" Lin Haitao said with a smile. "Lin Ke is Lord Lu's woman. Who in Jiangbei would dare to touch her!"
"That's right!" Lin Guoli comforted him. "Brother, don't worry. I'm sure there will be news soon!"
"It's not your daughter, so you naturally wouldn't worry!" Lin Aotian said coldly. "She's been missing for a day. It must have been done by someone in the shadows!"
Lin Guoli was helpless, but he didn't show any worry. After all, in his eyes, Lin Ke had no connection to him.
Even if Lin Ke went missing, Lin Haitao would become the heir, which made them somewhat expectant.
As they were talking, a group of people arrived outside the courtyard, exuding a powerful aura.
Leading the group was the head of the Han family, with Han Qiushui by his side. "Patriarch Lin, is there any news of Miss Lin?"
"Not yet!" Lin Aotian frowned. "If she's still in Jiangbei, she should be fine. If she's been sent away, then it will be troublesome!"
"Miss Lin is Mrs. Lu. If something happens to her in Jiangbei, our Han family in Jiangbei will also be held responsible!" the head of the Han family frowned.
In fact, the Han family had been sending experts to secretly protect Lin Ke, but they still failed to protect her completely. Even the Han family's experts were missing.
"Thank you for your concern, Head of the Han Family!" Lin Aotian clasped his fists in gratitude.
Within Jiangbei, all routes were sealed. The Lin and Han families' forces were deployed, and the entire city was searched. Sudan Novel Network.
Unfortunately, as time passed, no clues were found, which filled them with a sense of unease.
"Has this matter been reported to Master?" Han Qiushui asked. "If he finds out, he will surely be furious!"
"We have already notified him!" Lin Aotian said with a wry smile. "Even if he comes, he might not be able to find Xiao Ke!"
"That's not necessarily true!" Lin Haitao chuckled. "Lord Lu has extraordinary means; there's nothing he can't do!"
Lu Fan arrived with Han Yunhai. At the same time, in Jiangnan, various forces were marching towards Jiangbei, creating a grand display. It was unclear what had happened.
Shortly after, many experts from Qingyun Sect rendezvoused with Lu Fan and arrived at the Lin family.
As everyone was discussing, Lu Fan entered, "Is there any news about Xiao Ke?"
"The Lin and Han families and many other forces have been mobilized, but still haven't found her!" Lin Aotian frowned.
Lu Fan suddenly looked at Lin Haitao. "Did Xiao Ke's disappearance have anything to do with you!"
As he said this, Lu Fan's aura was menacing, as if it could crush Lin Haitao. He bore immense pressure.
"Lord Lu, please calm your anger. This matter has nothing to do with me!"
Lin Haitao said with difficulty, his face pale. He never expected Lu Fan to get angry at him the moment he arrived.
"Where are the people of Qingyun Sect!" Lu Fan said coldly.
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Dig three feet deep to find Xiao Ke!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "If anyone dares to harm Xiao Ke, they will be killed without mercy!"
"We obey your command!"
Many experts from Qingyun Sect nodded and dispersed like swallows, preparing for a thorough search.
"Master, this matter might not be that simple!"
Han Qiushui spoke, "Perhaps it was the work of martial artists!"
"Martial artists?" Lu Fan frowned, as if recalling something.
"Head of the Han Family, you are stationed in Jiangbei. Have you heard of any martial arts masters in Jiangbei?" Lu Fan asked.
"I'm not sure of the specifics!"
The head of the Han family shook his head. "However, I have a general understanding of the martial arts forces in Jiangbei, and they have no grievances with you, my Lord!"
"In that case, we shall wait here. I believe news will arrive by tomorrow morning!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. Someone who could abduct a person under the protection of Han family experts must have some intention. If that were the case, Lin Ke would also be safe.
