By the time Ye Mo woke up from being hit in the head, it was already nightfall.

He found himself in a strange room as grand as a palace. Frowning, he wondered, where is this place?

Why was he here?

Who did this to him and why?

He had a bunch of questions in his head. He might not have been able to move with his limbs being tied up, but on the surface, he remained very calm.

He knew very well that, under these circumstances, being impatient would not help one bit!

He stayed calm, but deep down he was flustered and had a couple of choice words in his mind.

He could imagine how his wife and brothers looked as they worried about him.

At the inn.

Duo Er, come and have dinner. Yang and Liu should be able to find Mo, Ye Liu said to her.

Regardless of how worried they were, they had to eat, especially now that Liu Duo was pregnant.

Liu Duo, her brows furrowed, talked about what was troubling her. Ling, where do you think Mo has gone? Yang and Liu have been searching for a long time now and they arent back yet!

She had a bad feeling about this. It was rather unsettling. Something must have happened to Mo, otherwise, he wouldnt have stayed out so late!

Ye Ling, too, was consumed by fret and worry.

Yang and Liu had not returned. As Liu Duos husband, he had to stand by her no matter what.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay composed as he said, Duo Er, dont worry too much. Mos an adult; nothing could possibly happen to him. Lets have dinner. You shouldnt starve.

He had requested that the shop assistant heat up their food three times now. The food would cool down again if they kept this going.

They argued on a regular basis, but now that Ye Mo was gone and no one knew why, words alone could not describe Liu Duos worry. How could she be in the mood to eat?

I dont have an appetite. You go ahead, Ling.

Duo Er, I cant possibly eat it alone.

Ye Ling came to her side, took her hand and led her to the table. He said softly, Duo Er, we have to eat some food somehow. Why dont you join me?

Liu Duo could only nod obediently. Alright.

She did not want Ye Ling to starve alongside her.

On the streets, the brothers who were still searching for their missing sibling stopped to talk it over in front of a bookstore.

Yang, do you think Mo might have been kidnapped? Ye Ling frowned as he made a guess.

Theyd found no traces of him anywhere. They pondered about what they should tell Liu Duo and Ye Ling when they returned to the inn later.

One was pregnant and the other was constantly on medication. Neither of them could endure such devastating news. The brothers were at a loss.

Who would kidnap him? Ye Yang said, still aloof.

He could not think of anyone who could do such a thing.

They had not been in the capital long. They did not make trouble, did not have friends or even family, so where could Mo have gone to?

How could someone just disappear for no reason?

I dont know! Ye Liu sighed helplessly. As he thought, he had an idea. Yang, lets ask Brother Ming for help. At this point, hes the only one who can.

In regards to Dongfang Mings identity, nobody spoke about the elephant in the room, though they probably knew that he was not just a simple businessman.

Ye Yang nodded in agreement.

And so the two men proceeded to Dongfang Mings residence.
