"Your daughter is currently in our hands. If you do not wish to see her corpse, we will prepare three hundred silver taels and hand it over to you in three days." "If you dare to report to the officials, we will tear up the votes." He signed it "One Flower." When this letter was in the hands of Ma Rulong, the wealthy merchant of Yangzhou, his golden magnolia orchid had disappeared without a trace.

"Damned flower, this unforgivable animal. It's just that I pitied my bitter orchid! " Madam Ma had long since sobbed and denounced the shameless and despicable actions of a single flower.

"What's the use of crying, my lady?" Ma Rulong had an incomparable headache. He wondered why this damnable flower had set its sights on his own girl. This person disappeared so quickly, just like that. He still didn't know about his lady's situation, but if he didn't pay in three days, the consequences would be dire.

He ordered his men to hurry out and search, hoping to find some clues as to what was happening. He hoped that Yu Ningwei would not make a joke out of him. After running to the Tan Family to cause a ruckus, his girl returned safely, making her seem like a laughingstock. However, it had already been a day and he still hadn't found a girl. He didn't have much hope in his heart. So far, he hadn't heard of how the rapist had failed to catch a single flower.

On that day, the Ma family was extremely busy. Even though they were in a flurry of work, they did not manage to find anything.

A flower was lingering like a ghost. It would harm young girls in the prime of their lives. In order to harm the local people, it was akin to a disaster for both the north and south of the Yangtze River. It caused a storm throughout the city. The faces of everyone on the street changed when they heard this. They were scared like tigers and couldn't calm down for a long time. They were afraid that something bad would happen to their family, so they were in a constant state of panic. Some powerful and rich families even moved their families to the Suzhou, Jinling, and other places, fleeing from this land like it was plague.

When Qin Yue'er and the rest found out that a flower had kidnapped Old Master Ma, it was already the next day. She immediately disguised herself. She wore a blue daoist robe with a small mustache. After confirming that it was difficult to recognize her, she went out to search for the bad luck of that flower.

By the time Li Guangling returned to the manor and found out what was going on, he couldn't even catch up with them anymore. With this flower, it would be impossible for others to escape. However, Qin Yue'er was confident that she would be able to catch him in the nick of time. Truly, he would not turn back until he had collided with Nanshan. Thinking of the stakes involved, Li Guangling felt as big as an ox. He wished he could grab her alive with a horse pole. However, he didn't dare to search in all four directions with great fanfare. He could only order the trusted aides of the direct line to investigate secretly, lest any information was leaked. He scolded angrily, "This damned Qin Yue'er. She is simply an idiot. She ruined my plans!" "He doesn't even have this kind of common sense. Others just set up a trap and burrowed in."

The Wenchang Pavilion in Yangzhou is also a famous local resort. It is packed with tourists, hawkers, merchants, and all kinds of snacks. At the Spring Equinox, there was a sea of people and it was bustling with noise and excitement.

The deputy chief of the Heavenly Execution Alliance, Liu Boyong, was currently sitting in front of the window. His eyes were like lightning as he closely watched the visitors below. All living things had their reasons. Ordinary citizens did not need to care too much about it. Their men had already been lying in ambush everywhere, waiting for the fish to catch them. Qin Yue'er hopes that you are smarter and more tenacious.

"Master Shen, the Ma family's people have arrived. The good show has finally begun." He stroked his goatee and said with a smile.

The Ma family's people rushed to the WenChang Pavilion like they had promised. Logically, they should have handed the money over. But a flower hadn't arrived yet. What was this situation? Not long after, a youth ran out from the roadside and passed a piece of paper to Ma Rulong. Ma Rulong opened it and saw the words, "Ten laps around the lake. If you dare to play any tricks, you will never see your daughter again."

Running ten laps around the lake, wasn't that the same as taking his life? Ma Rulong had lived like a prince for many years, and he already had a big belly, a fat head, and big ears. "He felt a pang in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. He let go of his legs and ran ten laps before deciding on anything else.

The Ma family's escape didn't matter. All the tourists along the way were amazed and pointed at them. It was said that Ma Rulong was very elegant. His young lady had already disappeared, yet he was still in the mood to walk around. For a time, the atmosphere became lively and the tourists were all frowning as they discussed with each other. It was bustling with noise and excitement.

Qin Yue'er had also arrived nearby. Originally, she didn't know Ma Rulong. However, this group of people was too eye-catching. Everyone had their own opinions, so it was impossible for them not to know each other. She was also wondering why Master Ma was in the mood to run around and exercise even though he should have paid a ransom to take her in. Her many years of experience in the martial arts world had taught her that this place was dangerous, and now, she was the target of public criticism.

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of her. It was Jing Jingyuan, Li Guangling's trusted aide. Why would he suddenly appear here? Naturally, it was because Li Guangling was worried about Qin Yue'er's safety, so he specially sent her to protect her. No matter what, he did not want any problems to befall her.

In this way, the forces of the Wang Chuan City and the Flowing Wind Pavilion added up to a total of nearly a hundred people. Their strength was so great that it attracted the attention of the crowd. With so many people following him, what the heck was there to talk about? If I had been a kidnapper, I wouldn't have come here to die.

Qin Yue'er quickly ordered her people to hide in the crowd and act accordingly. She didn't want to act rashly. He only sent a few soldiers to follow them and keep an eye on the situation on Old Master Ma's side.

Jing Jingyuan pulled Qin Yue'er to a quiet place to have a conversation and inform her of the purpose of this trip. Li Guangling already knew that a flower kidnapped Ma Lan, and was trying to urge Liu Wenbai to hurry up and solve the case.

After several months of analysis of the case, Liu Wenbai discovered a few suspicious points. This Flowerflower was extremely skilled in martial arts, appearing and disappearing mysteriously, and his qinggong was extremely outstanding. As such, the possibility of an ordinary person committing a crime was very small. Furthermore, since Qin Yue'er had personally sparred with him before, this person could very well be someone from the martial arts world. Moreover, he also discovered something very strange. Every time, this flower would be able to escape, and it was very likely that this person knew Yangzhou like the back of his hand. It was very likely that this person was either a local person or a nearby town.

The combination of the two had narrowed down the suspect by a wide margin. With the addition of Qin Yue'er's confirmation, the characteristics of this criminal became more and more obvious. This person was young and strong, around twenty to thirty years old. A practitioner, a local.

Liu Wenbai had already sent a lot of people to investigate and pay attention to those suspicious figures. However, he didn't expect that after hiding for so long, he would still do it knowingly. No matter what, she would not let such a vile and shameless thief off today. Today, a flower was destined to grow wings.
