Chapter 159 It’s not your fault
Shen Yourong rushed back to the Shen Mansion and immediately summoned her trusted subordinate Shen Wen. With a solemn face and a determined look, she told him the plan she had already made in her mind in detail, and emphasized at the end: "This matter is of great importance and concerns the lifelong happiness of this lady! You must not be negligent in the slightest, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"
Shen Wen was fully aware of the importance and sensitivity of this mission. He immediately knelt on the ground with his fists clasped together, and assured solemnly: "Don't worry, Miss! I will do my best to fulfill the mission and successfully lure you to the designated location!" His tone was firm, as if he had already secured victory.
Luo Lingliu, who was in the inn, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and his eyes gradually became sharper. He recognized at a glance that this man was Shen Yourong's most capable assistant - Shen Wen.
Luo Lingliu's face instantly darkened, and he asked stiffly, "Mr. Shen, why did you come here to look for me?"
Shen Wen looked extremely anxious. He grabbed Luo Lingliu's sleeve tightly and asked with a trembling voice, "Boss Luo! My young lady suddenly disappeared! Have you seen her?"
Luo Lingliu's heart was shocked: "What? Missing? How could this happen?"
Shen Wen quickly explained, "Today, the young lady received a letter from you, Mr. Luo, inviting her to Nanshan to discuss important matters, and emphasizing that she was only allowed to go alone. So, the young lady went to Nanshan alone without hesitation to accept the invitation, but she has not returned yet!"
Luo Lingliu showed a look of astonishment on his face: "I have never made an appointment with Miss Shen!" His brows were tightly furrowed, and his heart was full of doubts and worries.
Shen Wen was anxious, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. "Who made the appointment with the young lady? Recently, a group of robbers appeared in Jiangning and they are very rampant. Could it be that they used Boss Luo's name to deceive the young lady?"
At this moment, the guards of the Shen family rushed over in a panic and said in a hurried tone: "Deacon Shen, something bad has happened! We found out that the young lady was kidnapped by a group of robbers in Nanshan!"
After hearing the news, Luo Lingliu's face instantly became solemn. Without saying a word, he immediately picked up the sword and called his followers, then turned to Shen Wen and said, "There is no time to lose, we must go to Nanshan immediately to find Miss Shen!"
Shen Wen was somewhat hesitant after hearing this. He frowned and suggested, "Why don't we report to the police first? After all, with just a few of us, I'm afraid..."
However, Luo Lingliu shook his head decisively. He frowned and retorted: "If it is true as you said, these robbers are just after money, then at most we can just give them the money! But if we report it to the police now, there is no guarantee that they will not be so angry that they will do something to harm Miss Shen's life!"
Luo Lingliu felt panic in his heart and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was very worried that something unexpected might happen to Shen Yourong. If he had agreed to become the son-in-law of the Shen family, would all this not have happened now?
Shen Wen led a group of guards and Luo Lingliu hurriedly to Nanshan. When they arrived at their destination, the scene that came into their eyes made them angry - a group of men with fierce and ferocious faces were flirting with poor Shen Yourong!
Luo Lingliu was so angry when he saw this! He was furious and flew forward like lightning. He used fierce moves and subdued several robbers in a blink of an eye. Just as he was about to reach out and grab Shen Yourong, suddenly, a cunning robber held a sword against Shen Yourong's delicate neck...
"Stop! Otherwise I will kill her immediately!" the robber threatened viciously with gritted teeth.
Luo Lingliu had no choice but to throw the sword in her hand to the ground and said tremblingly: "Please don't hurt her! No matter how much money you need, I will give it all!"
Upon hearing this, the robbers sneered sinisterly: "Wouldn't it be better if you did this earlier? We want three thousand taels of gold!"
Luo Lingliu quickly took off the jade ornaments on her waist, threw them to the robbers and said, "This is my seal at Fuyuan Bank. You can use it to go to the bank to withdraw money. It will definitely be no less than three thousand taels of gold!"
Shen Yourong hurriedly exclaimed: "Boss Luo! Don't..."
The robber put the sword in his hand against Shen Yourong's neck: "Shut up!"
The robber took the jade pendant and handed it to his men: "Go to the bank in the city to verify its authenticity!"
While the robbers were going to the bank in the city to check, Luo Lingliu turned to negotiate with the robbers and said, "Can I discuss something with you? Why not let me exchange with Shen Yourong? After all, I am more valuable than her. I am the second son of the general's mansion!"
After hearing this, the robber looked down on him and sneered, "You claim to be the second son of the general's mansion? Then wouldn't I be the general of the general's mansion? Don't worry! Once we get the gold, we will release this woman!"
Shen Yourong burst into tears, and cried with tears on her face: "Boss Luo! Just let me fend for myself! It was all my fault before! I loved you, coveted your beauty and talent, and wanted you to marry into our Shen family! Now I have figured it out, from now on we have nothing to do with each other! You don't need to put the money bank's gold on me!"
Luo Lingliu responded in a panic: "Boss Shen! If we lose the gold, we can still earn it back! But the most important thing right now is you! You are much more valuable than gold!"
Shen Yourong sobbed and said: "You..."
Luo Lingliu had always seen Shen Yourong's decisive side, but had never seen her so weak and pitiful, with tears in her eyes. For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a surge of sadness in her heart...
At this moment, one of the robbers' men came over and reported, "Boss! We've got the gold!"
Upon hearing this, the robber immediately pushed Shen Yourong in his arms towards Luo Lingliu, and then fled with his men without even looking back...
Luo Lingliu hugged Shen Yourong anxiously and comforted her softly, "Don't shoot! It's okay! Everything will pass!"
However, Shen Yourong pushed him away in grief, walked slowly to the edge of the cliff, and said with tears streaming down her face: "Boss Luo! Now everyone in Jiangning City knows that I was kidnapped by robbers. In the eyes of everyone, Yourong's innocence has been completely destroyed. I know that it will be difficult for me to find a husband who truly treats me well. Rather than living in the world and suffering humiliation, it is better to jump off this cliff and end it all!"
Luo Lingliu was terrified and trembling all over. He hurriedly tried to dissuade her, "Miss Shen! This is not your fault! Don't commit suicide like this! Who said you can't find your ideal husband? I... I am willing to do it! Please come quickly!"
Shen Yourong was still sobbing and responded in despair: "I know that Boss Luo, you are just pitying me! But I don't need your sympathy! I... would rather die to find relief!" Her voice was filled with endless sorrow and determination.
Luo Lingliu suddenly shouted excitedly: "Really? I'm sincere to you! It's just that you actually used the hydrangea to frame me, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable... Come here quickly!"
Hearing this, Shen Yourong was immediately delighted, but she pretended to be sad on the surface and asked softly, "Boss Luo, are you deliberately deceiving me? Are you really willing to be our Shen family's son-in-law?"
Upon seeing this, Luo Lingliu shouted hurriedly: "Of course it's real! It's even realer than real gold!" His tone was firm and powerful, as if he wanted to declare his sincerity to the whole world.
