Liu Ergou sat up in bed. He first helped Liu Yunxi get dressed, then quickly put on his own clothes. After that, he supported Liu Yunxi as they left the house.

He soon saw her back safely before finally heading to his family's field.

Deeply worried about Xu Yulan, Liu Ergou ran with all his might toward his family's land. In just five or six minutes, he arrived.

"Sister-in-law!" he called out as he walked into the field. "Sister-in-law, where are you!"

However, after searching the entire area, Liu Ergou couldn't find any trace of her. Instantly, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

What's going on? How could my sister-in-law not be in the field? It's impossible!

He knew there was only one road home. If his sister-in-law had been heading back, he would have definitely run into her. But he hadn't. That meant she hadn't gone home; she must have gone somewhere else.

But on second thought, that seemed unlikely too. Liu Ergou knew very well that his sister-in-law, Xu Yulan, would never just wander off.

Excluding those two possibilities, there's only one conclusion left. Something has happened to my sister-in-law!

At this thought, Liu Ergou's expression turned grim. Suppressing the rage in his heart, he was about to take out his phone and call the police. Just as he pulled it out, it buzzed with a text message.

Seeing the unexpected message, Liu Ergou initially wanted to ignore it, but its content made his face darken even more. It was from an unfamiliar number, and the message was simple, just a few short lines.

*Xu Yulan is in our hands. Do not call the police.*

*If you want to save her, come alone.*

An address was attached at the end of the message.

Seeing the address, Liu Ergou couldn't help but curse aloud.

"Damn it! How dare they lay a finger on my sister-in-law! It looks like some people really have a death wish!"

Without a moment's hesitation, he turned and headed for the town. Liu Ergou got lucky. On his way, he caught a ride from a passing car heading in the same direction. Thanks to this, the long journey only took him half an hour.

Upon arriving, he didn't even pause to catch his breath before rushing toward the address from the message. When he got there, he discovered that the provided address was an arcade.

Looking at the arcade before him, Liu Ergou strode inside without any hesitation. As soon as he entered, he saw two familiar faces: Six Master and Wu Dahu.

Before Liu Ergou could even speak, Six Master approached him with a smile. "Well, well, a rare guest! Let me see, isn't this Liu Ergou? What makes you suddenly think of visiting us? Don't tell me you need something!"

Liu Ergou had no patience for Six Master's sarcastic remarks. He was extremely worried about his sister-in-law, so he got straight to the point.

"Cut the crap and hand over my sister-in-law! Otherwise, don't blame me for getting rough!"

Hearing this, Six Master blinked and put on an exaggerated expression. "Oh, Er Gou, what are you talking about? I don't understand a thing you're saying. What do you mean, 'hand over your sister-in-law'? What does her disappearance have to do with us? Isn't that right, Wu Dahu!"

Six Master turned to look at Wu Dahu, who immediately caught on.

"Exactly, exactly! What does your sister-in-law's disappearance have to do with us? We don't even know her! Besides, if your future wife goes missing, are you going to come looking for us, too?"

With that, Wu Dahu and Six Master burst out laughing.

Hearing their mocking words, Liu Ergou's brow furrowed. He didn't want to waste any more time talking to them. He'd die before he believed they had nothing to do with Xu Yulan's disappearance. So, he decided to take matters into his own hands and beat them into submission. Once they were properly beaten, they wouldn't dare utter another taunt.

However, just as Liu Ergou was about to make his move, Six Master suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

Liu Ergou wanted to ignore him, but after a brief hesitation, he stopped.

Seeing Liu Ergou pause, Six Master smirked. He took out his phone, pulled up a photo, and showed it to him.

"Liu Ergou, do you recognize the person in this photo?"

Frowning, Liu Ergou looked at Six Master's phone. The sight made him unable to suppress his rage any longer. The photo showed a man twisted grotesquely on the ground, surrounded by blood. Although the man's face wasn't visible, Liu Ergou recognized him at a glance.

It was his older brother who was working away from home.

Liu Shuisheng!

"What did you do to my brother!" Liu Ergou roared, swinging his fist as he charged at Six Master.

Seeing this, Six Master wasn't the least bit flustered. He remained there with a smile on his face, as if Liu Ergou didn't exist. Just as Liu Ergou was about to reach him, Six Master didn't hesitate and hastily retreated toward the back.

The moment Six Master moved, four or five men suddenly emerged and surrounded Liu Ergou, each holding a weapon like a steel pipe. One of them seized the opportunity, swinging his weapon viciously at the back of Liu Ergou's head.

Liu Ergou felt a rush of air from behind. Without time to think, he instinctively ducked, narrowly avoiding the deadly blow.

He frowned at the men surrounding him and was about to speak when the fleeing Six Master reappeared from somewhere. This time, however, he was dragging someone with him.

Taking a closer look, who else could it be but Xu Yulan?

Six Master looked at the surrounded Liu Ergou and shouted, "Liu Ergou, if I were you, I wouldn't move a muscle! I'm telling you, if you dare to move, I won't mind finding out what your sister-in-law tastes like!"

As he spoke, Six Master reached out and lecherously patted Xu Yulan's face.
