On her way, Su Yunjin came across an ox cart. Without any money on her today, Su Yunjin gave a pair of pearl earrings to the cart driver in exchange for a ride.
The driver noticed the pearl earrings were made from exquisite pearls and gladly accepted them, agreeing to take Su Yunjin to the town. Su Yunjin hurriedly rushed back to town, hoping to meet Gu Ya, unaware that Gu Ya had already taken people to search the countryside. Gu Ya had been chasing down the alley where Su Yunjin had disappeared, eventually arriving at the abandoned house where Leng Jingxian had earlier taken Su Yunjin. However, by the time Gu Ya arrived, Leng Jingxian and her group had already left.
Gu Ya searched the house thoroughly but found nothing unusual. He then led his men to continue searching elsewhere. Meanwhile, upon reaching the town, Su Yunjin headed straight for Zuixiang Restaurant.
