Chapter 504: Chapter 511: So It’s Him
“So it’s him!” Han Yu’s eyes narrowed, bristling with dangerous signals. His wife was actually in Phantom’s hands, and he knew all too well what kind of man that villain was. No wonder the old doctor expressed so much dissatisfaction every time he spoke of it. This also explained their previous speculation that the one who took her away was a master nurtured by a big family or a major power.
But the fact that Phantom had rescued his wife from those people left Han Yu wondering whether it was a coincidence or if Sikong Ling had instructed it. Was that scoundrel still not giving up on his intentions toward his wife? Otherwise, why would Phantom rescue his wife and then behave so secretly, hiding and skulking around? Just this behavior alone was hard to explain.
Although this speculation and association made Han Yu feel quite uncomfortable, at the very least he could be somewhat relieved. At the end of the day, his wife would be safer with Phantom than in the hands of others. Even if Sikong Ling was hiding his wife for selfish reasons, now that he had a target, Han Yu was determined to find her.
“Do you know the person who took Miss Yue away?” Feng Jianling didn’t miss Han Yu’s reaction, certain that Han Yu recognized the person described by the old doctor who had taken Miss Yue.
Han Yu nodded, but the relationship between him and Sikong Ling wasn’t something that could be disclosed, even if it was ostensibly clear. There were too many people around, and he did not intend to discuss it with Feng Jianling in front of everyone.
“I do know him. I’ll explain it to you in detail later, Big Brother Feng.” Feng Jianling was different from the others; the Feng family and the Su family were related by marriage, and their relationship was close. Feng Jianling was a trustworthy man, so there was no worry of betrayal. Moreover, Feng Jianling’s help was essential on this journey. Even if Han Yu didn’t speak, Feng Jianling would notice something. Instead of hiding it and making everyone uncomfortable, Han Yu decided to reveal a bit about Sikong Ling, as long as he was careful with his words.
Seeing Han Yu react this way, Feng Jianling knew there must be something not meant for outsiders, and he naturally would not inquire further. He nodded, “In that case, shall we set off immediately to find Miss Yue?”
Although Han Yu had not disclosed the identity of that person, knowing who took Miss Yue away eased his expression somewhat, indicating that she was not in danger while with him. However, the fact that this person had still taken Miss Yue and was deliberately hiding from them, meant that the most likely scenario was that this person had some designs on Miss Yue.
“Of course. That guy doesn’t have any good intentions. Taking away my wife clearly shows his ill motives. We must find her as soon as possible, or it will become much harder to locate her if he decides to hide her,” Han Yu said. He might have already attained such status and position, but he did not underestimate the power of the Sikong family for a moment. As an aristocratic family, their connections and wealth had been accumulated over generations and were beyond imagination. If Sikong Ling really wanted to hide his wife, finding her would not be an easy task.
Hearing Han Yu’s words, Feng Jianling felt his guess was correct. Indeed, someone was coveting Miss Yue, and it was not just any person, but someone even Han Yu regarded with caution, signifying a powerful backer. However, given Miss Yue’s extraordinary beauty, it was not surprising that she had attracted such attention.
“Since that’s the case, let’s hit the road right away. Let’s not delay any longer.”
Han Yu nodded, bowed again to the old doctor to express his gratitude, and then immediately mounted his horse to seek the location provided by the old doctor.
