Chapter 255 Acquaintances
The color drained from the face of the Marquis of Wu'an's son as he looked at Li Rou lying on the ground.
Doctor Yu has disappeared!
The missing Doctor Yu was being carried on a waiter's shoulder as he left the inn through a passage that resembled a secret passage.
About fifteen minutes later, the waiter stopped, reached up and groped around above his head for a while, and quickly found a door that could be pushed open from the bottom.
Someone was already waiting outside the door.
A man and a woman arrived, and the woman was none other than Yu San Niang.
The man was someone who had never appeared at the inn before; he had a very sleazy demeanor and reeked of heavy perfume.
Yu San Niang had the waiter put Yu Zhiyi down and took out a torch to shine on her face.
The man's eyes lit up at the sight of her perfume: "Beautiful! So beautiful!"
He had seen many fine goods, but this was the first time he had ever seen anything as special as this one.
This woman was not only beautiful, but she also exuded a very special aura.
His guests, however, preferred women who were different from the norm.
A smug look flashed in Yu San Niang's eyes as she laughed, "Such fine goods, a thousand taels of silver isn't too much, is it?"
The man with the perfumed scent glanced at her. Although he thought the woman was greedy, he figured she was worth it.
He believed that this woman would soon be able to earn back all that money for him.
"Alright, one thousand taels."
The two exchanged money for goods.
Soon, Yu Zhiyi was moved into a carriage.
The carriage did not head towards the city, but instead headed towards a desolate mountain outside the city.
Finally, the carriage came to a stop after a bumpy ride.
The man got out of the car first, had someone put Yu Zhiyi down, and instructed, "This girl is a real gem. Go change her clothes; I want to train her personally."
Just as someone was about to pull off Yu Zhiyi's clothes, she woke up.
Finding herself in an unfamiliar place, she remained calm and simply asked, "Where is this?"
"Oh, this is a fairy's abode." The lewd man from before lifted the curtain and walked in, laughing, "Have you never heard of 'I envy not the immortals, but only the lovebirds'? As long as you behave, you'll not only have endless money to spend, but also endless pleasures in the future."
Yu Zhiyi glanced at him, directly exposing his embellished explanation and getting straight to the point: "Is this a brothel? Are you planning to force women into prostitution?"
The man chuckled and said, "Don't put it so harshly. Brothels are places for serving the lowly, but we cater to people who only exist in legends."
"You know, so many women would offer themselves to them, yet they can't even get into their beds. But the women in these fairy-tale caves can win their favor. What an honor that is!"
Yu Zhiyi asked him with a blank face, "Just because you regard this sordid thing as an honor, you assume that everyone else is like you? You got caught in the rain, so you want to take away other people's umbrellas and cut off their way to find shelter from the rain?"
She could tell at a glance that this man had also "served" guests before.
The man's smile froze, a cold glint in his eyes: "Don't think you're superior just because you've read a few books and understand a few principles. Here, even a dragon has to coil up, and a tiger has to lie low!"
He said coldly, "If you don't want to serve me, I have plenty of ways and means to do so!"
He had expected this seemingly aloof and difficult woman to resist fiercely, and he was already prepared to discipline her.
Unexpectedly, the other party merely glanced at him and said, "Lead the way."
man:"?"
No, you talked a lot of tough talk, and this is all you got?
Aren't you going to struggle at all?
I have a feeling there's some kind of conspiracy going on.
But the other party was just a woman, and a woman from out of town at that. Although there was a escort team of twenty people, he did not take the team seriously.
The women from noble families imprisoned in the Immortal's Cave were not just one or two; they had dozens or even hundreds of servants, yet they still couldn't find the entrance to the Immortal's Cave.
He only hesitated for a moment before swallowing his doubts and looking at Yu Zhiyi with disdain: "She pretends to be so high and mighty, but I didn't expect her to be so pragmatic."
He reached out his hand, which was whiter and more delicate than most women's, wanting to touch Yu Zhiyi's face, but Yu Zhiyi turned her head away.
He was somewhat annoyed and sneered, "Trying to have your cake and eat it too."
"Since you are willing to be obedient, stay here peacefully for the night. At this time tomorrow, a distinguished person will visit. As long as you serve the distinguished person well and gain their favor, you will be able to live a life of comfort and ease in the future."
After saying that, he left.
Yu Zhiyi withdrew her gaze without any expression.
Sensing the intense resentment within this "celestial abode," her gaze turned slightly cold.
He truly... committed countless evil deeds and was utterly devoid of conscience.
Upon seeing Yu San Niang's face, she immediately understood the operating model of that shady inn: murder, robbery, and treating people like commodities to be bought, sold, and devoured...
The murder cases in the black market were easy to solve; she could even accurately calculate the locations where all the victims' bodies were hidden.
although
...
The vast majority of these corpses were reduced to skeletons.
However, in Yu San Niang's causal chain, there are still many women who are alive.
She got involved for the sake of these women.
Tomorrow night.
A big shot.
Although they could already tell what the "big shot" looked like from the greasy man's face, they still needed to catch him red-handed.
She closed her eyes and quietly waited for tomorrow night to arrive.
the next day.
Daylight breaks and then darkness falls again.
The Jiang family father and son were frantic with worry, and the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an was also filled with remorse.
In a fit of anger, Jiang Liuyun beat up the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an again.
The group ended up parting on bad terms.
Both sides stated that they would find their daughter/sister/Miss.
So the group began searching the city like headless flies.
Night fell quickly.
A low-key yet luxurious carriage slowly drove out of the city, through the narrow roads, and into the desolate mountains.
Before long, the carriage disappeared down a secluded country road.
The moment the carriage drove out of the city, Jiang Yuchuan and his son, along with the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an, moved together.
They took out an incense stick, lit it, and watched as the smoke curled up and drifted in one direction.
Neither side hesitated and chased after the cigarette.
Before long, the group met at the foot of the barren mountain, but the cigarette smoke continued to drift steadily forward.
Both groups were followed by constables from the city.
After determining the direction, the group of several dozen people followed the direction indicated by the cigarette and found the path.
At the same time, Yu Zhiyi finally met that important person.
She didn't have any particular thoughts about the important person himself, but the people around him made her frown.
It turned out to be someone I knew.
