"Jiu'er!" Su Ze was shocked and immediately chased after her as he spoke.

Ye Guichen also didn't expect that there would still be someone hiding in the dark.

"Damn it!" Ye Guichen cursed under his breath and quickly followed.

"Haha, if you want this little girl to live, bring the Seven-colored Lotus Jade for an exchange!"

Swish, swish, swish!

As the person finished speaking, he shook his hand, and several silver needles flew directly towards Su Ze and Ye Guichen.

Su Ze quickly dodged.

Ye Guichen, however, raised his hand and caught two of the needles.

But the opponent's speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Seeing the opponent disappear, Su Ze was incredibly frustrated: "What should we do? What should we do?"

This time, bringing Su Jiu'er out to investigate the clues in Yun City, although they experienced many twists and turns, nothing major happened in the end.

But now, because of a moment of carelessness, Su Jiu'er was kidnapped.

The opponent was clearly very skilled, and now there wasn't even a single clue.

"Brother Ye, what should we do? Jiu'er..." Su Ze, looking at Ye Guichen who had caught up, was sweating profusely in his anxiety.

Mr. Su at home was very fond of this granddaughter. If the family found out that Su Jiu'er had been kidnapped, Su Ze feared he would be scolded to death.

Ye Guichen was holding the silver needle.

The needle was only five or six centimeters long, very thin, and the end had a small, delicate blooming plum blossom.

"Let's wait for that person to contact us!" Ye Guichen had no idea either.

Since the opponent mentioned the Seven-colored Lotus Jade, they must have done thorough homework, and judging by the situation, it was likely the same person Gufang had mentioned, with the surname Wen.

"But, but..." Su Ze was so anxious he was stomping his feet, his mind in chaos.

He suddenly slapped his head and grabbed Ye Guichen's wrist: "Right, didn't that person mention the Seven-colored Lotus Jade? Do you have that kind of jade on you? Quickly take it out, I need to exchange it for my sister, hurry!"

Ye Guichen shook Su Ze off: "Please, the Lotus Jade is mine. Even if I were willing to take it out, do you think you could easily exchange it for Su Jiu'er?"

"What do you mean?" Su Ze gritted his teeth, looking at Ye Guichen angrily: "Jiu'er's life is at stake, and you care more about that jade? Her life is more important!"

Ye Guichen was speechless about Su Ze's thought process.

Looking at Su Ze's anxious appearance, Ye Guichen couldn't be bothered to refute him, feeling as if he was being held responsible and was obliged to use the Seven-colored Lotus Jade to save Su Jiu'er.

"Fine, let's discuss this later." Ye Guichen turned and walked away.

Since the opponent had demanded the Seven-colored Lotus Jade, they likely wouldn't harm Su Jiu'er for now.

But Su Ze's attitude irritated Ye Guichen.

Seeing Ye Guichen leaving decisively, Su Ze quickly stepped forward to block him: "Brother Ye, I know you've saved us and we owe you, but Jiu'er is in danger now. Can't you be merciful and bring out the Lotus Jade to save her? If you want money, I can give you money, how much do you want?"

Ye Guichen's face turned cold: "We'll talk about this later."

"Ye Guichen, are you just going to watch her die?" Su Ze was furious: "If anything happens to Jiu'er, I will never let you off!"

Ye Guichen smirked: "What, you're trying to threaten me?"

"I, I..." Seeing Ye Guichen's composed expression, Su Ze suddenly remembered that Ye Guichen might be a great master. His anger subsided, and he knelt before Ye Guichen: "Mr. Ye, I beg you, Jiu'er is very important to me and our family. She can't be harmed! I beg you! From what that person said, he's after the Seven-colored Lotus Jade. You must have it, right? Please take it out and save Jiu'er!"

Looking at Su Ze, Ye Guichen couldn't help but suspect that this guy might have some peculiar obsession with Su Jiu'er.

However, Ye Guichen still shook his head: "Kneeling won't help. That jade is very important to me, I can't take it out. Besides, I hate being threatened the most in my life. This matter is partly my responsibility. I won't ignore it!"

Ignoring Su Ze, Ye Guichen walked away quickly.

Back at the Medicinal Food Restaurant, the door was still closed.

But in the first-floor dining room, there was a Taoist sitting.

The Taoist looked to be in his forties, with a fair complexion. He must have been quite a heartthrob in his younger days.

Since the Medicinal Food Restaurant was temporarily closed, Zhao Erdan and Huang Mao were idle and were all gathered around the Taoist.

"Master, please check if I will have a peach blossom fortune this year?" Huang Mao looked eagerly at the Taoist, taking out a crumpled wad of cash and stuffing it into the Taoist's hand.

The Taoist didn't stand on ceremony, smiling faintly, accepting the money, and looked at Huang Mao: "You have a radiant complexion now. A little while ago, you met a benefactor who not only changed your life but also altered your fate. According to my calculations, within ten days, you will meet the fairy of your destiny."

"Really? Master, you are amazing!" Huang Mao kept nodding in thanks.

Zhao Erdan pulled Huang Mao aside and, smiling, said to the Taoist: "Daoist, Daoist, help me see if my son can get into a good high school."

The Taoist raised his eyelids but didn't utter a word. Instead, he extended a hand towards Zhao Erdan.

Zhao Erdan was taken aback, confused.

Li Xiaoqin, standing nearby, knocked on Zhao Erdan's head: "Give him the money! How can he tell your fortune for free?"

"Right, right, quick, honey, give me the money!" Zhao Erdan hurriedly reached out and received a stack of money from Li Xiaoqin, looking like a few hundred yuan, and stuffed it into the Taoist's hand.

The Taoist nodded in satisfaction, took the money, and said: "Hmm, judging by your appearance, you have a benefactor assisting you. Although your son didn't study hard before, he's recently turned over a new leaf. With the benefactor's help, getting into a top high school is no problem."

"Amazing!" Li Xiaoqin's eyes sparkled.

The Taoist's words were spot-on.

They knew very well what kind of person their son Zhao Hu was before, but since Ye Guichen appeared, Zhao Hu seemed to have become a different person, not even coming home on weekends, all focused on studying.

Moreover, they recently heard from his teachers that Zhao Hu's grades had moved into the top ten of his class. If this trend continued, getting into a top high school was definitely possible.

The crowd was lively and evidently impressed with the Taoist.

Chu Tiange stood not far away, seeming hesitant about whether to let the Taoist tell his fortune.

However, Iron Hand was watching the Taoist coldly, a look of disdain on his face.
