Chapter 104: CH 105

Tang Lingyin was no longer sleepy after tossing for so long, so she stroked Tang Tang at a slow pace, lost in thought.

The one she thought about the most was Tang Feilong. Before, when she confronted him every day, Tan Lingyin didn't feel anything unusual. However, now that she left him, she realized that he had already been imprinted in her mind. With just one thought, he would appear and look at her with a smile.

So in the darkness of the room, Tan Lingyin seemed to have seen a flash of light.

Tan Lingyin touched her cheek: it was hot; she touched her heart, it was throbbing sore. It's already gone to this point, she could no longer deny it. She just liked him, she cared about him, and she didn't want to see him getting along with others. Tan Lingyin was dumbstruck as she said to herself, "Tang Feilong, I miss you so much."

No one answered her; Tang Tang had fallen asleep and was snoring in her arms.

Tan Lingyin sighed softly and continued, "Do you miss me too?"

Of course Tang Tianyuan missed her so much that he had gone crazy. Tan Lingyin went out to buy things early in the morning and didn't come back for a long time. Tang Tianyuan thought she was being picky, or maybe she had stumbled upon something delicious. But it was already afternoon, and he still hadn’t seen her coming back, so he felt something was amiss.

He sent someone to the Gutang Bookhouse, but no one had seen her there. Tang Tianyuan then sent someone to Zhu Dacong's Residence, but still to no avail.

This girl, why didn't she come back yet? Tang Tianyuan thought to himself: I would be happy even if you came back with two catties[1] of scrap iron, why bother with all this trouble? Worried, Tang Tianyuan gathered some people to search the entire county, but no one was found.

The sun was already in the west, and it was getting dark. It was impossible for Tan Lingyin to be so indifferent and disappear out of nowhere. Tang Tianyuan felt that it was very likely that she had been kidnapped.

Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat, and for a moment, his mind went blank.

If it was really kidnapping, what is the other party aiming for? For money? For her? Or him?

Money was easy to deal with, in any case, pay the ransom to redeem the person first and ensure her safety.

But what if they were aiming for a person? What if they were aiming for her? Then the most likely kidnapper would be Zhu Dacong. Zhu Dacong's plan was to marry her back, so her personal safety could be guaranteed for the time being.

The most terrifying possibility was that the perpetrator may be using her to blackmail him. Tang Tianyuan suddenly discovered a serious problem: He had walked into the deep water. He himself was not afraid that someone would be plotting against him, but what if the other party used the people beside him as leverage?

Tang Tianyuan narrowed his eyes, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his usually gentle eyes. If someone really dared to hurt Tan Lingyin, he wouldn't mind being ruthless and disposing of the weeds from the roots.

Tang Tianyuan felt a pain in his chest when he thought of Tan Lingyin suffering and being bullied by some unknown people. He was so anxious that the tips of his fingers were shaking. He scratched the wall unconsciously, gritted his teeth, and said to himself, "Calm down, calm down."

The calm Huanggua: "..."

Seeing that his Young Master had become mad with anxiety, Huanggua quietly consoled, "Young Master, to rescue Head Commissioner Tan, we must remain calm."

These were redundant words, but these words seemed to have empowered Tang Tianyuan. He took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to keep his composure. He called Cong Shun in and ordered him to go to the city gate’s guards. He needed to make sure that Tan Lingyin was still in the city.

Afterwards, Tang Tianyuan sat by the table and carefully reflected.

On the surface, the third possibility may seem the most terrifying, but in fact was the least likely. This was because his identity had not been revealed yet. He hadn’t made any major moves, and even the matter of suppressing bandits was brought up by Official Sun. Therefore, he himself had not done any matters that could anger his opponent to this extent. And naturally it would be implausible for them to come up with such an extreme countermeasure.

As for the first possibility– if it was for money– the kidnappers should have already shown up asking for a ransom, but they haven't. In addition, Tan Lingyin was not a rich person. Although she does have a lot of gold hidden in her home, this was a secret and it was not possible for her to tell others about it. Therefore, it wouldn’t be worth it for a kidnapper to use her as the bargaining chip.

The biggest likelihood was that they were directly aiming for Tan Lingyin.

Tang Tianyuan turned his attention to Zhu Dacong again. It couldn’t be helped, in Tang Tianyuan’s eyes, that person always seemed like a crook.

When Zhu Dacong heard that Tan Lingyin could not be found, he was very worried. He wanted to go to the county government office to inquire, but the gatekeeper refused to let him in, so he had to pace anxiously at the door.

Tan Qingchen was also very worried about his sister. He saw Zhu Dacong at the entrance of the county government office, thinking that they were currently refusing entrance, he stood beside Zhu Dacong.

As a result, the doormen directly invited Tan Qingchen in.

Zhu Dacong quickly understood: they were only guarding against him.

Tang Tianyuan was informed of Zhu Dacong every move, but he didn't know if he was really innocent or if Zhu Dacong was a good actor. Zhao Xiaoliu went to search Zhu Dacong's house, but naturally no one was found. 

At this moment, Cong Shun came back with news: Head Commissioner Tan should have left the city.

The young men guarding the city walls were all civilians who came to serve. They didn’t often serve in the county government office, so they didn’t recognize Head Commissioner Tan, but they did recognize the strange dog.

Yes, Tang Tang. Head Commissioner Tan took Tang Tang out of the city; she had gone out on her own. She went out, but had not come back.

Go out on her own? She went out to play?

No matter what she was doing, she should know to come back after. Even if a problem was encountered, she should have passed a message. It would have been acceptable even if she had sent Tang Tang... In short, something happened to her.

It wasn't just her that had an accident, but Tang Tang also did too.

Tang Tianyuan was restless, and was really in no mood to wait until tomorrow to check. He took people out of the city overnight to find Tan Lingyin. He thought that maybe she was trapped after playing too much, or fell into some kind of trap, waiting for him to find her.

They held torches, calling to her in the dark. They searched far and wide, but never got a response.

Tang Tianyuan looked up at the vast night. There was a faint outline of the mountain in the distance, like a giant beast floating on the sea. He looked at the giant beast, and seemed to see Tan Lingyin riding on the giant beast and waving at him.

He blinked his reddened eyes and feebly thought: Tan Lingyin, where are you?

Hurry up and appear, okay?

As long as you appear, I’ll do whatever you want.

Where are you…
