Zuan: "..."
He was speechless; he really didn't know what to say to this woman. He could only lament that Chen Zhou had met the wrong person.
Gao Ying was even more frustrated. Although he knew that his appearance was not comparable to Zu An and Pei You, being completely ignored was just too miserable.
Pei You quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged. This young lady is called Tao Hong, she's the one we're looking for..."
Zu'an and Gao Ying exchanged a knowing glance: "Let's go to the room and talk in detail."
The questions they wanted to ask were quite sensitive, so naturally they couldn't let outsiders hear them.
"Please come in, gentlemen." Tao Hong warmly approached Zu An, deliberately rubbing her chest against his elbow. "This young master is quite handsome. Where are you from?"
Pei You, standing to the side, immediately felt envious. When he had approached Tao Hong earlier, she had been very attentive, and he had felt that he had finally regained some face.
Little did I know that the other party's enthusiasm for Zu'an was far greater than it had been for me before.
I'm not any less handsome than my great-uncle, so why is my charm with women so different?
At this moment, Zu'an was not as happy as he had imagined. Smelling the gaudy fragrance on Tao Hong's body, he couldn't help but frown and coldly replied, "From Yi County."
"Oh my, Yi County is such a nice place..." Tao Hong praised Yi County in a familiar manner.
Zu An looked around the Jade Pavilion. It was cold and desolate outside, with snow falling everywhere on the eaves, and the overall color was somewhat monotonous and dull.
However, once inside, it was a completely different world. It was magnificent and bustling with people, with a captivating fragrance filling the air. The entire building seemed to be heated by underground fire, and the temperature was like spring or summer.
Everywhere you look, there are beautiful women dressed in revealing clothes, walking with a seductive gait and speaking in a charming and alluring voice. In this environment, few men can maintain their rationality.
Zuan scanned the entire scene and noticed that, unlike the Central Plains, there were many Hu women and some demon women here. If those gentlemen who were obsessed with furry things on the internet in their previous lives saw this scene, they would probably faint from excitement.
The building is even more bustling than the previous Xiaoyao Tower. Xiaoyao Tower emphasizes atmosphere and the girls are more reserved, and there aren't as many girls there. Here, on the other hand, there are enthusiastic and unrestrained girls everywhere.
Soon, the group followed Tao Hong to a room: "Honorable guests, please wait a moment. I'll go change my clothes and come right away."
"No need for that, let's leave it at that." Zuan coughed; he certainly hadn't come here today to watch his fashion show.
"Oh? This young master is in such a hurry." Peach-colored face blushed, and she secretly sized up the group of people. She thought that this young master was the most handsome among them, and she was actually willing to not take his money.
The first young master Pei who came was alright, but the next one, the engineer Gao, was a bit ugly.
Well, at worst, I'll just let him stay behind me and avoid looking at his face.
Yes, I must face this young man in white directly when the time comes...
While thinking about it, he pretended to be shy and started to undo his belt. These were actions he had been trained in since childhood and were already very skilled at.
It can be both alluring and appropriately express a woman's modesty.
"Ahem, no need to take off your clothes, we just want to ask you some questions," Zu'an quickly stopped her.
Upon hearing his words, Tao Hong immediately pulled her clothes up again: "Hmph, are you all here to make fun of me? You come to Biyufang and ask questions instead of doing anything?"
She had initially thought it was a big business deal, but it turned out the people weren't there to have fun, and she immediately felt unlucky.
Although this young man in white is handsome, that's no excuse for not paying.
At this moment, Zu'an took out a silver ingot and placed it on the table: "Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged."
Upon seeing the large ingot, Tao Hong's eyes lit up. She immediately took the ingot to her mouth and bit it before placing it in front of her chest. She said with a smile, "Gentlemen, please feel free to ask any questions you may have. I will answer to the best of my knowledge."
Seeing how quickly she changed, Gao Ying secretly scorned her, thinking, "She's truly a heartless bitch who only cares about money."
Zuan didn't mind; he wasn't afraid you loved money, he was afraid you didn't even love money anymore: "Do you know Chen Zhou?"
Upon hearing the name "Sinking Boat," Tao Hong's smile froze: "Who are you?"
Gao Ying snorted impatiently, "Now it's our turn to ask you, not the other way around."
Zu An laughed and said, "Don't worry, young lady, we are respectable people and friends with Shen Zhou."
“Oh, so you’re actually those heartless friends,” Peach Blossom seemed to be stirred up. “That guy had thick eyebrows and big eyes, I thought he was an honest person, but he turned out to be just like everyone else. He cheated me out of everything and then left me to fend for myself.”
What did he lie to you about?
"He made it sound so nice, saying he'd buy me freedom, that he'd marry me, and that I should wait for him. But half a year has passed, and I haven't seen a single one of him. I've finally realized that all men are the same—not a single one of them is any good." Tao Hong became more and more agitated as she spoke, and the latter part of her statement was practically an accusation.
Zuan sighed: "He's dead."
"Where did he go?" Peach Blossom asked instinctively, then suddenly paused, "What, dead?"
“That’s right. He died in the line of duty during a mission and was burned to death in a warehouse. I don’t think he was lying to you on purpose.” In order to get information from the other party, Zu’an naturally couldn’t let this woman harbor resentment towards Chen Zhou.
"To die like this is too good for him." Tao Hong smiled, but the people present were all experts and keenly noticed that her voice was trembling slightly compared to before, and her eyes were also slightly moist.
None of them disturbed her. After a while, she regained her composure: "The fortune teller used to say I was destined to bring misfortune to my husbands. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that it's better for me to stay in a brothel and not think about those things."
