The time Lin Jiaoyun spent being imprisoned in the capital was a nightmare she never wanted to recall. Every day, she prayed and hoped that Zhou Cheng would descend from the sky and save her from her misery.
Unfortunately, no.
She thought that Zhou Cheng had weighed the pros and cons and couldn't save her for the time being, but she still held onto endless hope.
Zhou Qianyan's words completely shattered Lin Jiaoyun's confidence, filling her with fear and making her finally realize that Zhou Cheng would never come back to her.
She truly regretted it... During these dark days, she could only find warmth in the memories of those three years with Zhou Cheng, and could only endure it by fantasizing that the ending would be sweet and intimate with Zhou Cheng.
However--
Lin Jiaoyun has no hope left unless she seizes this opportunity.
"Young Master!"
Meanwhile, on the outskirts.
"All entrances and exits of the brothel have been surrounded by our men!"
"I found a group of spies nearby. I don't know if they were from Cheng Gui Pavilion or Nan Yue Academy. I knocked them all unconscious."
"Young master, shall we make our move now...?"
Zhou Cheng stood not far from the back door of the brothel, his eyes deep and dark. From his angle, he could hear the chaotic singing and dancing coming from inside the brothel, as well as the hearty laughter of men.
The brothel had two floors and was built in the style of a courtyard house.
Through the empty pavilion, Zhou Cheng could see a man and woman embracing and walking in on the second floor. He couldn't make out their faces clearly, but he could tell that they were both quite attractive.
"Whoosh."
A hand with distinct knuckles rose, and Zhou Cheng, his face radiating coldness and undiminished killing intent, said, "Show no mercy! Blow up the brothel immediately and kill everyone inside!"
"Yes!! Do it!"
Black Rat and the Zhou family sharpshooter had just raised their feet and hadn't even had time to pull out grenades and bullets from their pockets when Zhou Cheng's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately stopped them, saying, "Wait a minute!"
What's wrong?
Black Rat turned its head suspiciously and looked at Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng's gaze was fixed on the second floor of the brothel. Following his gaze, a familiar yet striking figure could be seen...
She stood there calmly, her figure slender and her demeanor extraordinary, wearing a fur cloak, and seemed to be looking in Zhou Cheng's direction as well.
Upon seeing this, Black Rat's eyes widened in shock, and he quickly said to Zhou Cheng, "Young Master, that seems... seems somewhat like Miss Cheng? But didn't the servant from the Fang family say that Miss Cheng isn't here?"
"They're a bit far apart, so I'm not entirely sure, but the build is too similar!"
"Could this be a trap set up by Cheng Gui Pavilion and the Academy to lure you in impulsively?"
Zhou Cheng's heart skipped a beat.
After quickly regaining his senses, he took out his binoculars and looked towards the second floor.
Magnified several times, a stunningly beautiful face came into Zhou Cheng's eyes.
It was in that last half second!
Cheng Xianyi turned and disappeared from his sight, but he could clearly see the tender look in her eyes, eyes so pure and full of trust and gentleness...
besides.
She seemed to want him to stop, because Zhou Cheng saw her slightly furrow her brows and shake her head slightly in his direction.
"Immortal intent!" Zhou Cheng immediately put down his binoculars.
"Is it really Miss Cheng? Young master, are you sure you can see clearly?"
"I've heard that Nanyue Academy has produced something called a human skin mask. Is it possible that the academy and Chenggui Pavilion have set a trap to lure you in? Should we take another look?"
"Or should I go scout ahead for you?" Black Rat said uneasily.
Zhou Cheng shoved the binoculars into Black Rat's hand and ordered, "No need. I can mistake anyone but her. Faces can be changed, but eyes can't. She wants me to go up alone."
"I also want to see what Cheng Gui Pavilion and the people from the academy are up to!"
He may not trust anyone, but he trusts Cheng Xianyi.
The system's love points, measured in hundreds of millions, are undeniable!
Those eyes, too, cannot be faked.
That's all.
Zhou Cheng took the bundle handed to him by Heima, took out the bulletproof vest he had already exchanged, and put it on.
He signaled Black Rat and the others to lie in ambush, and after giving his order, he entered the brothel alone.
In the shadows of the brothel, Ziyan, who had witnessed everything, breathed a sigh of relief. She touched her sweaty face and said to Cheng Xianyi, "Thank goodness, I made it in time. I'm exhausted."
"Master, Young Master Zhou has gone upstairs alone."
"That's really strange. How did he know what you meant? All you did was shake your head at him."
"What should we do next?"
"Do you need me to lure Young Master Zhou upstairs? Zhou Qianyan has already come out. She seems to have discussed something with Lin Jiaoyun, and it seems she even gave Lin Jiaoyun a human skin mask."
