Chapter 259 Scar Man
Chapter 259 Scar Man
Although Fu Yuzhang only has Lu Zhiran in his heart at the moment, he still has feelings for Zhang Xiangxiu.
Hearing the news of her disappearance, Fu Yuzhang couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart.
"When did you find out she was missing?" Fu Yuzhang tried to stay calm.
"My lord, we discovered it when the maid went to deliver dinner tonight. Zhang Xiangxiu's door was closed. The maid knocked on the door but no one answered. She pushed the door open and saw that the room was empty." The servant replied.
Fu Yuzhang frowned, feeling an inexplicable irritation in his heart. He turned and walked to the window, opened it, and let the night wind brush his cheeks. In the night, the moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard like water, and there was silence. However, this silence hid endless dangers.
"Go, call everyone in the mansion, I want to interrogate them personally." Fu Yuzhang said in a deep voice.
Soon, everyone in the Fu Mansion gathered in the courtyard in front of the study. Fu Yuzhang stood on the steps, scanning everyone with a sharp gaze. He took a deep breath, and then asked in a deep voice, "Has anyone seen Zhang Xiangxiu tonight?"
Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to answer. Seeing this, Fu Yuzhang became even more annoyed. He knew that at this time, only by finding clues could the mystery be solved.
"Listen carefully, everyone!" Fu Yuzhang raised his voice. "Zhang Xiangxiu's disappearance is a matter of great importance. If anyone knows about it but does not report it, they will not be forgiven once they are discovered! Now, starting with me, everyone must tell us where you were and what you saw and heard tonight!"
After hearing this, everyone began to recall and describe their whereabouts tonight. However, after a round of questioning, no valuable clues were found.
Fu Yuzhang became more and more anxious. He knew that this would only waste time. He had to find a breakthrough to uncover the mystery of it all.
At this moment, a maid suddenly knelt down on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Master... I... I may know something..."
Fu Yuzhang's heart moved, and he quickly walked down the steps and came to the maid: "What do you know? Tell me!"
The maid took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then said, "When I went to deliver dinner to Zhang Xiangxiu tonight, I saw her talking to a strange man in the room. The man was tall and mighty, with a scar on his face..."
"What?!" Fu Yuzhang was shocked when he heard this. "Did you see the man's appearance clearly?"
The maid nodded: "I saw it clearly... that man looks very vicious..."
Fu Yuzhang's heart sank. He knew this clue was extremely important. He had to find the strange man as soon as possible to unravel the mystery.
"Go!" Fu Yuzhang turned and said to the servant, "Immediately send someone to the city to look for the strange man with the scar on his face! We must find him!"
The servant nodded and left in a hurry. Fu Yuzhang stood in the courtyard for a long time without moving. He was full of doubts and uneasiness. Who was this strange man? What was his relationship with Zhang Xiangxiu's disappearance? What was going on?
As the night deepened, Fu Yuzhang's heart became heavier. He knew he had to find the answer as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous...
It was late at night, and the moonlight sprinkled on every corner of the Fu Mansion, but it could not illuminate Fu Yuzhang's heavy heart.
He stood in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon, but his heart was surging.
Fu Yuzhang recalled Zhang Xiangxiu's gentle smile, and his heart ached. How could she suddenly disappear?
She and Lu Zhiran disappeared together. Did they do it by the same person?
Damn Ding Liang!
Moreover, who is that strange man with a scar on his face? Why did he appear in Zhang Xiangxiu's room?
Suddenly, a breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness. Fu Yuzhang couldn't help but shudder, realizing that he had been standing in the courtyard for a long time. He turned back to the study and decided to carefully look through the secret letter about his wife's disappearance again to see if he could find any clues.
The lights were on in the study. Fu Yuzhang sat at the desk, spread out the secret letter, and read it carefully word by word. However, the content of the letter was still vague, without any substantial clues. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but he knew that he couldn't give up and had to persevere.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Fu Yuzhang looked up and saw a servant standing outside the door with a nervous look.
"Master, I have discovered something!" The servant's voice was filled with excitement.
Fu Yuzhang was delighted and stood up quickly: "Tell me quickly, what did you find?"
The servant took a deep breath and said, "Master, we found the strange man with the scar on his face in an inn in the city. He is resting in the inn now."
"Okay!" A gleam of light flashed in Fu Yuzhang's eyes, "Prepare your horses immediately, I want to meet this mysterious person in person!"
The servant nodded and left in a hurry to prepare. Fu Yuzhang changed into night clothes and prepared to go to the inn.
In the night, Fu Yuzhang rode his horse at full speed on the streets of the city. His heart was filled with tension and anticipation. He knew that this strange man might be the key to solving the mystery of his wife and Zhang Xiangxiu's disappearance.
Not long after, Fu Yuzhang arrived at the inn.
He quietly sneaked into the inn and found the room the strange man was in. He stood outside the door, took a deep breath, and then gently pushed the door open.
The room was dark, with only an oil lamp flickering. The strange man was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed. He was tall and mighty, with a striking scar on his face, and looked very ferocious.
Fu Yuzhang's heart tightened, but he knew that he could not retreat. He walked forward and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
The strange man opened his eyes, looked at Fu Yuzhang coldly, and then said: "I am a man of the underworld, and I have no grudges against you. As for why I appeared in your house, there is naturally a reason."
"What's the reason?" Fu Yuzhang asked.
The strange man sneered and suddenly threw something out. The object drew an arc in the dim room and landed steadily in Fu Yuzhang's hands.
He took it subconsciously, and saw in his hand an exquisite box with intricate carvings on it, which seemed to contain some secret.
Fu Yuzhang was startled, and before he could think about it, the strange man disappeared out of the window like a ghost. He was agile, jumped up, and disappeared into the vast night.
"Catch him!" Fu Yuzhang said anxiously to the servants who followed him. Seeing this, the servants immediately scattered and chased in the direction of the window. However, the strange man seemed to have expected this change, and he had already fled far away, and there was no trace of him.
