The servant responded and turned to leave.

Thank you, Miss Xia."

Liang Sisi followed suit and went straight to the point.

"Ling Yunxiao has been here before. Have you seen him before? We didn't see Ling Yunxiao come back after a while, so we came to ask."

Xia Qiyan pretended to be shocked for a moment, then asked curiously, "When did Young Master Ling Yunxiao come here? I haven't seen him. I just went out to buy some makeup. Miss Liang, do you want some?"

As she spoke, she clapped her hands and gestured for the maid to bring the makeup over.

Jiang Ming looked at the cosmetic powder carefully and found that it was indeed newly bought. He was a little confused.

Liang Sisi thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if you have any secret guards protecting you? There seemed to be very few people in this courtyard."

Xia Qiyan shook her head. "The mansion is surrounded by secret guards. No one dares to enter, and there is no way there will be any secret guards around the courtyard."

Xia Qiyan spoke slowly, but Liang Sisi saw right through her. "Is what you said true? Why do I feel like there really are secret guards around this courtyard? I saw their shadows just now."

Liang Sisi was lying about the last sentence.

She did not see the secret guards at all, but she wanted Xia Qiyan to tell her the truth.

However, Xia Qiyan could tell that Liang Sisi was not telling the truth. She immediately added, "Miss Liang, I don't quite understand what you're saying. I really don't have any secret guards here."

Liang Sisi saw that Xia Qiyan was unwilling to tell the truth and could not help but laugh. Then, she followed Xia Qiyan's line of thought and said, "Since you don't feel like telling the truth, I guess we will never know. But if I catch one of these secret guards, what will happen to you?"

Unexpectedly, Xia Qiyan was not afraid at all. Instead, she faced Liang Sisi and said, "There are no secret guards. Miss Liang, come over. If you can't find them, we'll have to do something about your baseless accusations."

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Jiang Ming quickly eased the atmosphere and said, "If there's anything, we can talk it out. It's not good to argue like this."

Then, he turned to Xia Qiyan and said, "Ling Yunxiao is our companion. We are very anxious now. Since you have not seen Ling Yunxiao, we will leave first. Miss Xia, please let us know if you have any news of Ling Yunxiao."

Jiang Ming stood up.

Xia Qiyan thought that she had already settled the matter with Jiang Ming and Liang Sisi, so she smiled and said, "Of course. As our honored guest, you must be treated well, Lord Ning Caichen. So, don't worry. When I see Ling Yunxiao, I will inform you immediately."

"I hope so."

Liang Sisi was furious.

She could tell that Xia Qiyan was lying, but she did not know what to say.

She felt that she should not be outdone by Xia Qiyan, but she could not bring herself to say it.

Jiang Ming comforted Liang Sisi in his heart. "I'm sure I can save Ling Yunxiao. We'll wait and see."

"Wait and see? Would we be able to save Ling Yunxiao if we just waited and watched?"

Liang Sisi was very confused and asked Jiang Ming in her heart.

Jiang Ming smiled faintly.

"Xia Qiyan thought that she was going to get away with it, but it wasn't that easy. You'll know when you see it."

"Take care."

Xia Qiyan did not know what Jiang Ming and Liang Sisi were thinking. She looked at Liang Sisi and Jiang Ming with a smile, feeling proud of herself.

She knew that Jiang Ming and Liang Sisi were nothing. Now, it seemed that they would never be able to find Ling Yunxiao.

However, Jiang Ming's expression suddenly changed. He said to Liang Sisi, "Ling Yunxiao sent me a signal. Let's go and take a look."

What?

These three people could still be in contact?

Xia Qiyan wanted to ask Jiang Ming, but Jiang Ming was so angry that he left with Liang Sisi.

Liang Sisi could tell that Xia Qiyan was panicking, so she pretended to be anxious and shouted, "Lord Ning Caichen, let's go."

Xia Qiyan heard her clearly, and her expression changed. She quickly turned around and told Bai Heyu what had happened.

Bai Heyu's expression also changed. Then, he said to Xia Qiyan, "This matter is very tricky. Quickly go and see Ling Yunxiao. Also, send someone to follow Jiang Ming and Liang Sisi."

On the other side, Liang Sisi followed Jiang Ming and praised him in her heart. "Ning Caichen, as expected of you, you solved the issue. I couldn't think of such a strategy."

"Be careful not to look back. There are some people behind us."

Jiang Ming did not answer Liang Sisi's question. Instead, he looked behind him.

When he realized that there seemed to be some people following them, he immediately laughed in his heart.

It seemed that Xia Qiyan's men had already arrived. Now, they were just waiting to shake off these people.

Liang Sisi was stunned for a moment, and then she whispered to Jiang Ming, "We might as well split up. I'll let these people follow me while you go and rescue Ling Yunxiao."

Jiang Ming disagreed.

"If you're alone, people will see through you. If we want to leave, we have to leave together."

As he spoke, Jiang Ming pulled Liang Sisi's hand and walked forward.

"Alright, then I'll follow you."

Liang Sisi also felt that there was something wrong with her strategy, so she immediately followed Jiang Ming.

They walked forward to the left, turned to the right, and walked up, immediately shaking off the people behind them.

Seeing that she had already left, Jiang Ming quickly brought Liang Sisi to Xia Qiyan's courtyard.

At this moment, Xia Qiyan was in a hurry to bring people to the prison where Ling Yunxiao was.

Jiang Ming and Liang Sisi kept silent and followed Xia Qiyan.

Xia Qiyan left the courtyard and got into the carriage. They immediately arrived at a certain location.

However, the door needed some mechanism to open.

After Xia Qiyan entered, Jiang Ming took Liang Sisi to another door.

They did not find the door, but they found a dog door. Liang Si thought for a moment and immediately went up to the dog door without hesitation.

Seeing that Liang Sisi did not put on any airs as a princess, Jiang Ming also went in through the dog door.

There was a dog in the dog door. When it saw Liang Sisi and Jiang Ming come in, the dog immediately ran toward Liang Sisi and Jiang Ming. It seemed like it wanted to attack Liang Sisi and Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming flicked a stone over and stuck it in the dog's throat.

It did not care about Jiang Ming and Liang Sisi anymore. It fiddled with its mouth anxiously.
