The phone reading: Su Kui's eyes were as wide as a cow's egg. Standing before him was Ah San, looking utterly panicked. "Lord, Madam isn't at home. I thought she had taken the dogs out for a walk, but I couldn't find her at any of the places she usually visits. Later, I asked the guards at the front and back entrances—they both said they hadn't seen Madam leave!" "Can she really lose herself right in her own home?" the old man was furious. "What are you waiting for? Go find her! Dig up the earth three feet deep if you have to—I need her found! If you can't find her, come and head me off!" Ah San said nervously, "I'm already on my way to look for her. But strangely, the dogs in the back yard are gone too, and the person in charge of the dogs is also missing. This is... quite unusual." "Then start with the back yard," Su Kui ordered. A lady of high standing entered, asking, "What's going on? It's quite a commotion—though I've told you time and again, you simply can't remember. At your age, you must learn to calm down and be patient if you hope to live a long life!" Su Kui, his face solemn, said, "My daughter has gone missing—she was simply taken from within the house!" "Really?" the lady rose to a full soprano, "Then why aren't you off searching immediately? If anything happens to my daughter, I won't forgive you all. Go now!" Su Kui thought to himself—just a moment ago, I was urging you to remain calm and composed. Now you're the one who's losing your composure! You're even more impatient than I am. Anyone unfamiliar with the situation would surely think I'm the one who fears my wife. After all, I'm the head of the European Chinese Community Association. Ah San practically rolled out of the room, knowing well that in this household, the lady was far more formidable than the lord. Su Kui himself ranked no higher than third—first was the lady, followed by the eldest daughter. Therefore, at home, it's better to offend the Lord of the Manor than the Lady, and certainly not the eldest daughter, since the Lady and the eldest daughter are always on the same side. Several dozen people began a thorough search, checking every corner without missing a single one. One person with particularly sharp hearing noticed movement coming from the storage room and immediately informed Ah San. Ah San led a group of people into the room, where, aside from the scattered, wailing dogs, he found no trace of the eldest daughter. With a sharp slap to his own forehead, he exclaimed, "It's a mess—definitely the young man brought from the airport! He's been playing the part of a humble servant all along!" Ah San believed he had no such ability to subdue a dozen fierce dogs, and thought it absolutely beyond the ordinary person. If he could handle the dogs, then he could certainly manage both the dog trainer and the eldest daughter. Soon, he discovered the dog trainer unconscious in the adjacent room. "Keep searching! Keep searching! We must find the eldest daughter—otherwise, everyone will suffer." "Ah, Tan is hysterical. In the living room, Su Kui and the lady of the house are pale with concern. After hearing Tan's report, the lady asks, 'What is the background of the young man brought back from the airport?' Tan shakes his head and replies, 'I don't know. Miss Li instructed us to bring him back, as it was her order. So I didn't dare ask further. Based on my observations, there must have been some conflict between the young man and Miss Li during the flight. Miss Li likely suffered an inconvenience, and thus, he was brought back as a form of retaliation...' 'Enough!' the lady interrupts, 'Tan, isn't Little Dan known for being a composed, gentle girl? How could she resort to such a dramatic form of retribution?' Su Kui clears his throat twice, signaling for Tan to leave, and adds, 'Please keep searching—make sure you find him.' With only the two of them remaining in the living room, Su Kui finally speaks: 'This matter was indeed initiated by my daughter. According to her account, the young man took advantage of her.' As Su Kui spoke, he made a gesture of grabbing a dragon's hand with his hands. The lady exclaimed, "You dare eat Xiao Wu's tofu! Since you've known about it, why don't you cut off his hands right now?" Su Kui immediately replied, "I intended to do just that, but Xiao Wu refused. She says she's already locked that boy up in a dog pen and insists that I shouldn't interfere with this matter!" The lady, furious, said, "Your daughter is so immature—how can you, at your age, be any less mature? Now it's clear: Xiao Wu must have been kidnapped by that boy! Return my daughter to me!" Su Kui reassured her, "Don't worry. Our guards are so well-equipped that no one can escape. Finding your daughter is just a matter of time. Dear, rest assured—I will not let that boy off easy. I'll chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!" "You're certain about this," a slightly unexpected voice rang out from above the couple's heads. The two of them looked up and saw a man sitting leisurely on the beam of the ceiling, holding a bone in his hands and enthusiastically chewing on the meat. "Who are you?" Su Kui asked sharply. The noblewoman tugged at his sleeve, and immediately the old man understood. He huffed, "Didn't you kidnap my daughter? If you're wise, hand her over right now—otherwise, I'll make sure you die a most unpleasant death!" "Indeed, what a father-daughter pair—your threats are exactly the same. How amusing! First, let me clear things up: who exactly kidnapped whom? If it weren't for your beloved wife who first took me captive, how could I have ended up here, and how could I have had the chance to hide her? It's you who should apologize to me!" Qin Feng finished off the last bite of meat from the bone and tossed it aside, where it landed precisely into a vase below. Since Su Kui had already taken on the black face, the lady of the house stepped forward with the red face: "Young man, this is all a misunderstanding—little Wu is still young and inexperienced. Please don't trouble her at all!" "Rest assured, your precious daughter is in perfect health—no single hair is missing," Qin Da said, using a toothpick to pick at his teeth while speaking. "Who made me the guest of honor in a dog cage? That's a small punishment, isn't it?" Upon hearing this, the lady's heart, which had been pounding in her throat, settled down, and she nodded warmly to Su Kui. Su Kui burst into laughter, suddenly pulling out a pistol from his pocket and pointing it at Qin Feng, who was standing above on the beam. "Young man, dare to act so bold on my territory? Are you growing impatient to live? Come down right now—otherwise, I'll have you dead!" "Hah! So quickly, you've drawn your sword at the last moment," Qin Feng said, wiping his fingers with a tissue. "You must think that your daughter is safe, perhaps even hidden within your own home, so you can now turn against me without "Su Kui snorted, "Yes, so what? Now you'd better think about your own life. If you don't want to die, get down here right now!" Qin Feng crumpled the tissue paper into a ball and said, "Just now someone said they'd chop me up and feed me to the dogs. If I go down, I'll die even worse. Old man, I advise you not to fire—because as soon as you do, it'll be your daughter who dies!" Su Kui sneered, "Is that so? I'll see. Can you really make my bullets bend around?"
