The rumor circulated wildly and it said that Aunt Yue's disappearance seemed to be connected with the esteemed guest. However, they didn't dare to confirm whether the kidnapper was truly the esteemed guest. Without beating around the bush, Hong Wen interrogated the servants and maidservants inside the Crescent Lake one by one --- he even used reward and heavy punishment to make them talk.

"What kind of thing?" Hong Wen asked curiously. He felt happy when he finally found a lead for the evidence.
