Pei Ji tapped her on the forehead and asked, "Do you think I will take you to a brothel?"
The tone was quite dangerous.
Xue Huan was embarrassed.
At this time, the secret passage had come to an end. Pei Ji turned left and right a few times on the candlestick on the wall, and the stone wall in front of him opened like a door.
The two walked out and came to a room. The room was obviously arranged as a study. High and low bookshelves divided the room into independent or open spaces, like a small library.
There were many books densely stacked on the bookshelf, but Xue Huan took a quick look and found that those were not books at all, but booklets recording various intelligence secrets!
They are arranged on the bookshelf according to the year, month, place name and nature of the event.
"Is this the Tianxia Pawnshop?" Apart from the Tianxia Pawnshop, where else could there be so much intelligence information?
Pei Ji nodded with a smile, "Hanhan guessed right this time."
"So, you are the master behind the Tianxia Pawnshop?"
"No, it's you and me." Pei Ji corrected her.
Xue Huan took a moment to react before realizing that he wanted to share the Tianxia Pawnshop, an intelligence agency, with her?
"How can this be possible? Pei Ji, I——"
Before she could finish her words, Pei Ji cupped her face with one hand, pressed his thumb against her lips, and rubbed them gently twice. "I told you, what's mine is yours. Huanhuan, do you have to be so distant with me?"
He wanted to entrust all his wealth to her so that she could be more closely connected to him, to the point of being inseparable, so that she would never be able to get rid of him again.
Xue Huan felt her lips numbing because of him, and she subconsciously bit her lower lip.
The lips are red and the teeth are white, the color contrast is particularly sharp, and it makes people want to taste it.
Catching a glimpse of the dangerous, intense lust in his eyes, Xue Huan's heart skipped a beat. She spun around behind a screen, and poked her head out from the edge. "Alright, you said it, and if I mess up your intelligence organization, don't blame me."
Pei Ji chuckled twice, "It's my honor to be tormented by Huanhuan."
Xue Huan blushed. This guy! She was clearly talking about the pawnshop, but he deliberately switched the subject! What was going on in his head?
Pei Ji followed her behind the screen, trying to grab her back, but Xue Huan dodged with a smile, "You didn't bring me here just to show me the information in this room, did you?"
"Of course not."
Pei Ji walked to the desk, where there was a miniature brass clock ornament. He tapped the bell twice.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. Pei Ji said, "Come in."
A middle-aged man in a blue shirt, with a gentle and elegant demeanor, walked in. He had a cloth of the same color wrapped around his head. When he saw Xue Huan, there was some surprise in his eyes, but he didn't show it. He stepped forward and bowed to Pei Ji, "Master."
Pei Ji first said to Xue Huan, "Huan Huan, this is Chang Qinghe, responsible for intelligence gathering and management in the South."
He then introduced Xue Huan to Chang Qinghe: "Xue Huan, the Crown Princess I have chosen. From now on, when I'm not around, seeing her is like seeing me. Do you understand?"
Chang Qinghe bowed deeply to Xue Huan, "Meetings, Madam."
Xue Huan held her forehead, feeling that she was falling deeper and deeper into Pei Ji's trap.
What if the relationship breaks down in the future?
Forget it, let’s go and see.
Since Pei Ji introduced her to his subordinates so solemnly, she couldn't refuse him on the spot.
"Mr. Chang, please stand up."
After Chang Qinghe left, Xue Huan jumped on Pei Ji and grabbed his neck, "When did I become your Crown Princess?"
Pei Ji held her butt and nuzzled her nose affectionately, "It's only a matter of time."
Xue Huan snorted lightly. This guy has her in his grasp, right?
She moved, "Put me down."
She had come to him on her own initiative, so how could Pei Ji allow her to run away? He held her in his arms and sat down on a large armchair, tightly fitting her tightly.
This posture... is so embarrassing!
"Pei Ji, put me down!"
Pei Ji held her waist, his lips brushing against her ear, "Hanhuan, please stop moving, or I won't be able to hold back."
Feeling the changes in his body, Xue Huan was frightened and immediately dared not move.
Pei Ji held her in his arms and gently stroked her back to relieve her body's desire.
The situation was too dangerous. Xue Huan quickly changed the subject: "I remember that when I came to Tianxia Pawnshop before, it was always Shopkeeper Wang who received me. Why is he replaced now?"
Pei Ji said nonchalantly: "He is old, I let him go home to retire."
"Retirement?" Xue Huan felt a little weird. This word didn't fit in with intelligence personnel at all, did it?
"Aren't you afraid that he will leak the situation here?"
According to the TV drama's tropes, a former high-ranking executive like Wang Yan couldn't possibly quit safely. The only way out was death.
Pei Ji pinched her face lightly and said lightly: "Don't be afraid, he wouldn't dare to do that."
As for why he didn't dare, Xue Huan didn't ask any further, feeling the answer would be bloody.
Pei Ji changed his position while holding her, like holding a child, letting her back touch him, and then took out an account book.
This is a general ledger that records the various intelligence sources and income channels of pawnshops around the world.
Brothels, taverns, inns, carriage shops, shipping lines... All places of consumption with a large flow of people have the presence of the Pawnshop behind them. Either they are run by the Pawnshop, or there are intelligence personnel affiliated with the pawnshop mixed in.
This is simply a huge intelligence network.
While gathering information, you can also make money.
Among them, "Qing Huan Pavilion" was surprisingly affiliated with Tianxia Pawnshop. Xue Huan joked, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually runs a brothel. If this gets out, wouldn't the whole world laugh at him?"
Pei Ji bit the soft flesh on her neck and grazed it with his teeth. "Will you tell anyone?"
Xue Huan was so exhausted by his torture that she leaned weakly into his arms. "If you don't let go, I'm going to spread this to everyone in the world!"
She threatened fiercely.
Pei Ji seemed threatened, his eyes narrowed dangerously, "It seems that I can't let you go."
He picked the person up, strode into the inner room, threw the person on the Arhat couch where he usually rested, and pressed down on him.
Xue Huan's acting spirit took over, and she yelled in unison, "Ah, let me go! You beast, I will never yield to your tyranny. One day, I will reveal your secret to the world!"
Pei Ji looked at the person who was performing very enthusiastically under him, feeling helpless and amused, and fell into her arms.
Xue Huan patted him, "Go on, you should say something harsh to me, and then..."
I gave some guidance in this way and that way.
Pei Ji simply sealed her mouth and beat her up.
