Chapter 1707: Chapter 1707

Gu Ya stood in the courtyard, and the silence around him was terrifying.

At this moment, Gu Ya experienced an unprecedented sense of regret for the first time. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥

If something happened to the young wife, even Gu Ya couldn’t forgive himself. Aunt Bao, who noticed the commotion outside, hurriedly put on her clothes, opened the door, and rushed out, "Master, what’s wrong? What happened?" Aunt Bao jogged over to Gu Ya, continuously rubbing her hands, perhaps because she was cold.

"Auntie, have you seen the lady?" Perhaps Aunt Bao would know the whereabouts of the young wife, Gu Ya hurriedly inquired.

Aunt Bao looked puzzled, "Isn’t the lady already asleep in the room? How could she not be sleeping inside?" When Aunt Bao went to sleep, the lady was still in the room. At that time, the lady directed Aunt Bao to rest, which is why Aunt Bao returned to her room to sleep. Aunt Bao thought that after she left, the lady would go to sleep. When Gu Ya asked her, Aunt Bao couldn’t help feeling strange.

Aunt Bao didn’t know the whereabouts of the young wife, and Gu Ya didn’t say much to her. He immediately ran outside the main gate. Because he had to ensure the safety of the young wife and two children, Gu Ya had Xue Chu and the others keep watch outside not just during the day but at night as well, fearing that the young wife might leave home in anger. Gu Ya quickly planned to gather Xue Chu and the others to inquire.

So late at night, what if the young wife went out and encountered danger? Especially since the young wife had faced an assassin trying to kill her during the day, Gu Ya dared not take it lightly.

Xue Chu had been keeping watch outside and hadn’t left. Hearing the sound of the gate opening, Xue Chu, who was dozing off, immediately awoke and sat up.

"Brother Gu, why is it you?" It was so late that Xue Chu didn’t expect Gu Ya to open the door and come out. Hong Wu was equally astonished; seeing Gu Ya, Hong Wu’s face was similarly filled with surprise.

Gu Ya didn’t have time to explain and directly asked the two, "Brother Xue, did anyone leave the house tonight?" If the young wife wanted to leave, she would definitely disguise herself like Aunt Liang and the others to get past unnoticed. Especially in the dark night, with the young wife being so cunning, it would be very easy for her to fool Xue Chu and the others.

Xue Chu recalled briefly, then confidently shook his head at Gu Ya.

"Brother Gu, Hong Wu and I have been guarding the gate all night, and we haven’t seen anyone leave." Even if Xue Chu was a bit sleepy earlier, he wouldn’t fail to notice anyone leaving. Moreover, Hong Wu was by his side. Hong Wu also confidently looked at Gu Ya and said, "Brother Gu, I’m also sure nobody left."

Gu Ya looked at Hong Wu and then at Xue Chu, pondering that if no one had left, where could the young wife have gone? Could it be that King Chu’s people had resorted to their old tricks and kidnapped the young wife at night?

Xue Chu realized something was amiss and quickly asked, "Brother Gu, what exactly happened? Who is missing from the house? Could it be the lady..." Xue Chu quickly guessed the answer because Brother Gu’s nervous expression indicated that only the lady could make him so concerned.

"Brother Xue, since you said you didn’t see anyone leave, I’ll go back to the house again to search for the lady." Gu Ya decided to first return and search other places in the house thoroughly. If he didn’t find the young wife inside, he would personally lead the search outside. No matter what, he was determined to find the young wife safe and sound.

Hong Wu and Xue Chu both chased after him, "Brother Gu, we’ll help you find the lady together."
