Upon hearing this, the madam glanced at Song Ming and said, "Of course, if the master takes a fancy to a girl, I will be waiting here tonight."
Seeing this, Song Ming shuddered all over and waved his hand in disgust, "Who wants to come?"
The madam didn't say anything and just made way.
She seemed to be certain that Situ Yao would not be able to find anything, and leaned aside with a relaxed look.
Su Mengyan stood beside Situ Yao, feeling a little anxious.
I have been to that place before. The human traffickers there are so brutal that they don't even treat those girls as human beings.
She was abused and sold to a brothel, and no one knows how much suffering she endured.
Noticing Su Mengyan's anxious look, Situ Yao patted her hand gently and said, "Don't worry too much, you will find it eventually."
Su Mengyan nodded, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Situ Yao's men searched the kiln building but couldn't find the woman in the portrait. When they came out, they all shook their heads.
Seeing this, the madam covered her lips and laughed, "Sir, what did I just say? I told you that I wouldn't be able to find anyone here, and you didn't believe me."
Upon hearing this, Situ Yao glanced at her but said nothing.
After all, I don’t have any evidence now, so I can’t just arrest someone without saying anything, right?
The search was fruitless, so he could only wave his hand and leave with everyone.
Before leaving, Su Mengyan tilted her head and glanced in the direction of the madam, wondering what she was thinking.
Situ Yao noticed the silent person next to him and looked over. "What are you thinking about?"
Su Mengyan listened to Situ Yao's voice and then spoke, "That madam seems to be fearless. If we search rashly like this, we will definitely find nothing. We need to send an undercover agent in."
Upon hearing this, Situ Yao frowned and looked at Su Mengyan, almost immediately knowing what was on her mind.
He immediately frowned and said directly, "No."
Su Mengyan didn't expect that Situ Yao knew exactly what she was thinking. She pouted and asked, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"
Situ Yao tilted his head and looked at her, then said directly, "Do you think I don't know your little tricks? That place is too dangerous. I'm worried about you going there alone as an undercover agent."
After hearing this, Su Mengyan looked at Situ Yao who left with a cold face and sighed helplessly.
She knew that it was useless to say more, so she simply shut up and stopped talking.
Situ Yao was a little surprised to see Su Mengyan remained silent.
Why is she so well-behaved today? She doesn't even say a word of rebuttal.
If it were any other time, he would have been chattering endlessly.
Situ Yao brought his men back to his residence. The people had already heard that he went to the brothel to rescue the captured women, and they all waited in front of the yamen early.
Seeing Situ Yao coming back with his men, they immediately rushed over, as if they wanted to see their relatives as soon as possible.
However, when they rushed over excitedly, they did not see the shadow of the person they had been waiting for for a long time, and they could not help but stop where they were in disappointment.
Situ Yao met many disappointed faces and was unable to raise his head for a moment.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry. Because of some small things today, we didn't find the missing woman."
Seeing that Situ Yao didn't say anything, Su Mengyan took the initiative to speak and comforted the people around her.
After the people had dispersed one by one, she returned to Situ Yao's side and pulled his arm, "Don't be too sad. We have already grasped the clues, and it is only a matter of time before we find those women."
Upon hearing this, Situ Yao was extremely determined, "Then I won't let you take the risk either."
Su Mengyan didn't expect that he was so obsessed with this matter. She looked up at him and met his eyes.
Su Mengyan looked at Situ Yao, sighed softly, and walked out of the county government office, pulling Situ Yao's clothes.
Situ Yao didn't know where Su Mengyan was taking him, so he could only follow her silently.
He didn't think there was anything Su Mengyan could say to convince him.
Su Mengyan pulled people and went directly to the door of a house where their daughter was missing and stood in front of their window.
Situ Yao faintly heard the crying inside and frowned, "Why did you bring me here?"
Su Mengyan took a deep breath and pointed at the people inside the house. "Right now, so many people are crying for the loss of their loved ones and daughters. Why would you miss such a great opportunity to help them find their loved ones just for your own selfish desires?"
Situ Yao didn't expect Su Mengyan to say such a thing. He immediately looked over with wide eyes, his eyes full of surprise.
"You gave them hope, and now you're going to let them down?" Su Mengyan said, grabbing Situ Yao's hand and staring at him intently. "I know you're worried about my safety and don't want me to put myself in danger, but who else can do this for you besides me?"
Looking at Su Mengyan's determined expression, Situ Yao was unable to say a word.
She, a woman, can say such words, let alone me, a man.
Looking at Su Mengyan's determined gaze, his attitude softened a bit, "But..."
"I believe you will protect me, right?" Su Mengyan spoke before Situ Yao, and at the end she smiled at him, with a look of encouragement in her eyes.
Situ Yao looked at Su Mengyan, could only sigh helplessly, and nodded, "Well, since you are willing..."
Situ Yao was halfway through his words when he found it difficult to speak. He held Su Mengyan's hand tightly, as if the person in front of him was a rare treasure.
Su Mengyan met Situ Yao's gaze, and her face flushed slightly.
She avoided Situ Yao's gaze and pushed him away. "I'm just going undercover, not going to die. You don't have to look like you're burying me, right?"
After hearing this, Situ Yao's heart moved slightly, and he hugged Su Mengyan directly and held her tightly in his arms.
"You must be careful, do you hear me?"
Su Mengyan's mind went blank at that moment. Her tense body slowly relaxed, and she gave Situ Yao a big hug in return. "I know."
Early the next morning, Su Mengyan had already dressed herself up and walked straight towards the kiln building.
She took off all her makeup, put on tattered clothes borrowed from someone else's house, rolled on the ground a few times, and looked miserable and embarrassed.
