Chapter 512: Chapter 511: Well Prepared
Seeing Yiyi fainted, Ye Jia Ren frowned tightly, "Master, I think this Ding Yiyi is a tough nut to crack. It might be difficult to get information from her mouth."
The old poison master’s face was somewhat unpleasant too.
"Later, wake her up and then test the medicine on her. I don’t believe she can hold out till the end."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jia Ren nodded and said, "Yes, Master. Even if she doesn’t speak now, she will eventually."
"Alright, we’ll test her with the medicine again later."
After finishing the matter regarding Yiyi, the old poison master spoke to Ye Jia Ren about other matters, "Is everything alright on your side? Make sure not to raise suspicion from the other party."
He naturally knew about his disciple and Jinming’s matter, and he was happy to see it happen. If Jia Ren could really marry Jinming, it would make things easier for them.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jia Ren smiled and said, "Rest assured, Master, I have everything under control."
Seeing his disciple speak with such confidence, the old poison master said no more, knowing her capability and trusting that she would manage it well.
On the other side, Gu Tingyu and Jinming had already woken up. They looked at the empty private room, their expressions heavy.
"Tingyu, what’s going on here?"
Jinming shook his still-dizzy head, his words full of worry.
Gu Tingyu had already stood up and walked out, "Jinming, wait here for a moment. I’ll go check the situation."
They were eating just fine, then suddenly fainted, so they must have fallen for someone else’s trick. Though he and Jinming were okay, Yiyi and Ye Jia Ren were missing. Despite his anxiety, he couldn’t afford to panic. The more panic, the worse things would be handled.
After asking around outside, he found the situation even trickier than he imagined. Outside, no one had seen Yiyi or Ye Jia Ren. What was going on?
Jinming saw Gu Tingyu return and promptly asked, "Tingyu, how’s it going?"
Gu Tingyu shook his head, then his sharp gaze settled on the table before finally resting on the empty wine bottle.
Previously, everything was fine until drinking wine seemed to lead to unconsciousness. He picked up the bottle and looked at Jinming, saying, "Let’s head back first and increase manpower to find them."
Jinming naturally noticed Gu Tingyu’s action and couldn’t help but say, "Are you suggesting the wine was drugged? Impossible. I brought this wine from home myself and kept it in hand the whole time. Others never had the chance."
Gu Tingyu replied, "We can’t be sure yet. Only testing will reveal the truth. Moreover, nothing is absolute. How do you know others had no opportunity?"
Seeing Gu Tingyu speak this way, Jinming said no more, only added, "Alright, let’s hurry back. Finding them is essential."
The thought of Ye Jia Ren and Yiyi being taken made his heart race. If anything happened, he couldn’t shirk responsibility. If it weren’t for his proposal to dine out, none of this would have occurred.
Gu Tianyu was also anxious, immediately seeking Mr. Gu.
After learning they were drugged and Yiyi and another girl were missing, Mr. Gu was furious, "Who is bold enough to kidnap in broad daylight?"
Old Mrs. Gu was equally angry, quickly looking at Mr. Gu, "Let’s go find Yiyi now. Once we find them, we’ll deal with those kidnappers."
Mr. Gu immediately ordered people to look for Yiyi and said to Gu Tingyu, "Tingyu, have you informed Old Master Ding about this incident?"
Gu Tingyu shook his head and said, "I haven’t been to the Ding Family yet. I was just about to go."
"Alright, quickly inform him, and then hurry to find Yiyi."
After seeing Old Master Ding, Gu Tingyu quickly recounted the incident.
Upon hearing the story, Old Master Ding couldn’t help but smash a teacup by Gu Tingyu’s feet, "Yiyi went out with you, and you let her get into trouble? Is this how you protect her?"
Gu Tingyu remained silent, enduring Old Master Ding’s reprimand. This time, it was indeed his fault for letting Yiyi encounter trouble right under his nose.
Seeing Gu Tingyu like this, Old Master Ding gradually calmed down, "Alright, quickly go find her. I’ll also increase manpower on my side."
However, finally, Old Master Ding frowned and asked, "Who is the girl missing with Yiyi? I wonder if Yiyi was dragged into this by her."
Yiyi had always been fine, but now she was missing with another girl, which made it hard not to suspect.
"The girl is named Ye Jia Ren, my friend Jinming’s fiancée."
"Jinming... the youngest of the Jin Family?"
Gu Tingyu nodded and said, "Yes, they’ve set a date for their engagement. Jinming invited us for dinner to relay this good news, yet this incident occurred."
"You better check out this Ye Jia Ren and see if there’s any issue." Old Master Ding still felt Yiyi was implicated and was somewhat dissatisfied.
Gu Tingyu naturally nodded in agreement. Actually, he also felt a bit suspicious, but facing his friend, he couldn’t say anything.
"Alright, quickly go investigate."
Seeing Gu Tingyu, Old Master Ding felt irritated and hastily sent him away. Then he spoke up, "Yun Mo, Yun Chu has always been guarding Yiyi. She disappeared this time; did he relay any information?"
A shadow gradually appeared behind Old Master Ding, who replied gravely, "No, Yun Chu hasn’t relayed any information."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Ding’s face was even worse than before.
"So, Yiyi truly encountered danger. Not even Yun Chu could save her immediately."
Yun Mo didn’t reply, only said, "Master, let’s go find the young lady."
"Don’t let Yue Jun know about this matter for now, lest she worries."
Yun Mo naturally nodded, then vanished again to instruct the Hidden Guard to search for her.
Meanwhile, Old Master Ding began making calls to send more people to find her.
On the other side, once Yiyi gradually woke up, she experienced a brief moment of disorientation, then immediately recalled her current predicament, her brow furrowing.
But before Yiyi could think further, Ye Jia Ren brought someone over.
Seeing the person in Ye Jia Ren’s hands, Yiyi’s pupils slightly widened. She didn’t expect even Yun Chu to be captured. It seemed Ye Jia Ren had been prepared, knowing even about Yun Chu covertly protecting her.
