Shi Jin let out a breath of relief that was barely noticeable: "Yeah."

The middle-aged nun looked suspicious. She glanced at Yu Ci beside her and asked tentatively, "Did the two donors come here together?"

Yu Ci glanced at her with an impatient look: "I met him at the foot of the mountain. He heard me say there was something fun here, so he came with me to see it."

"What?" He glanced at the nun dangerously: "You don't allow guests here?"

"Donor, you are joking. You are a distinguished guest recommended by Mr. Chen. We dare not neglect you." The nun glanced at Shi Jin who looked indifferent and said, "It is this donor. Why didn't he come with you just now?"

And he looked indifferent when she said the code just now...

The nun never let go of the doubts in her heart.

"I just met an acquaintance in the hall, so it's inconvenient." Shi Jin lowered his eyes and loosened the buttons of his sleeves with a cold look: "It's you."

His eyelids were thin and his face was cold. He looked especially indifferent when he lowered his eyes. "Is this how you treat your guests?"

The nun was startled by his words: "Donor, what do you mean by this..."

The guests who come here are either rich or noble. If she really offends a guest, then she...

The nun's heart was lifted up.

"That nun named Mingxiu." Shi Jin frowned, looking unhappy after being offended: "She brought me to the backyard not long ago, and then she said she wanted to go to the toilet, leaving me here alone."

It was the person Mingxiu brought.

The middle-aged nun felt relieved, and the suspicion in her eyes faded away: "Please forgive me, Mingxiu is still young, so it is inevitable that she is a little shocked. I apologize to you on her behalf."

The doubts dissipated, and she relaxed a little. She looked at Yu Ci beside her and said to Shi Jin: "I will take this donor to the room in the backyard first, and then I will take you to see the host later. Is that okay with you?"

Shi Jin frowned and was about to speak.

"No need." Yu Ci refused: "He can just come with me."

"this......"

The nun hesitated: "You mean... just choose one?"

"Yes." Yu Ci curled his lips, walked a few steps to Shi Jin's side, stretched out his right arm, and smiled meaningfully: "I've tried all the fancy things, but I've never tried it with anyone."

He raised his eyebrows, his tone clearly teasing: "So, are you interested in having a big game together?"

Shi Jin pursed his lips, the look in his eyes changed, and finally nodded: "Okay."

The nun was still hesitating: "This..."

Shi Jin raised his eyes to look at her, his expression cold: "Double the price."

"Deal." The nun's eyes lit up instantly: "Two donors, follow me."

Shi Jin saw that she seemed to be walking towards the back of the yard, frowned slightly, and said, "Can't we choose the people in this yard?"

The nun stopped and looked at him in surprise: "Did the donor see them?"

Shi Jin nodded: "Someone just walked out."

The nun frowned, then quickly relaxed her eyebrows: "It's not that we can't choose from the ones in this courtyard, but they are not locals and can't speak the language, so we haven't selected them yet--"

Realizing that the word was a bit explicit, the nun changed it: "They haven't been disciplined yet, and we don't want to disturb the guests, so we usually choose them from the backyard."

Shi Jin's eyes met Yu Ci's without leaving a trace, and then they separated immediately.

"Foreigners?" Yu Ci stroked his chin with interest, his eyes full of interest: "I am somewhat interested."

Shi Jin lowered his eyes and adjusted his cuffs, saying in a cold tone: "I am also a little interested."

"Double the price." His expression remained unchanged, as if he was casually saying that the weather was really nice: "I'm going to choose someone from this yard."

The nun's eyes were a little confused. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Please wait a moment, my two donors. I will go and ask the host for instructions."

"No need to bother."

Yu Ci raised his hand to check the time, looking impatient: "If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. It's just a matter of one word."

"I just came here for the novelty." He pulled the corner of his mouth, and the interest in his eyes had already dissipated: "Since it doesn't work, I don't have the interest to play anymore. I'll go find your host and return my deposit."

The nun was frightened by him. She was a little flustered and tried to calm Yu Ci: "Don't worry, benefactor. I didn't say no."

"The ones in the courtyard are already candidates. If the donor likes them, just pick them."

Yu Ci sneered: "It would have been better if you had done this earlier."

The nun bent over and wiped the sweat off her face: "Which room do you want to choose, sir?"

She guessed that the guest in front of her must have taken a fancy to the person who just opened the door, but to be on the safe side, she still asked, "Do you need me to call the person in the room out?"

"No need." Shi Jin did not hesitate. He looked towards the room whose door he had just opened, his eyes calm: "This is it."

——

The middle-aged nun took them to a secret room in the backyard and then left.

The footsteps outside the house gradually faded away.

Yu Ci: "You..."

"Shh." Shi Jin pointed a finger at him, interrupting him before he could finish his words.

He walked around the room and finally found a bug at the foot of the bed.

Yu Ci raised his eyebrows, watching Shi Jin tap the monitor, and then he said, "How do you know all this?"

Shi Jin took out a tissue and wiped his hands: "I know a little bit."

Because a book required this knowledge, he looked up information for a while. Although he is not very proficient in it, he still has a general understanding of some of the cameras and eavesdropping devices currently on the market.

"Let's not talk about this." Shi Jin glanced out the window: "She will bring people here soon. We don't have much time."

"Long story short."

Yu Ci: "On the surface, this is a nunnery, but in reality, it's a place of entertainment for high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen. The guests are introduced by each other, and a closed circle has been formed."

"And they are very cautious in their behavior. Generally, tourists who come here just to burn incense will not have the opportunity to walk into the backyard."

"For some reason, the originally scheduled guest didn't show up today. The nunnery didn't receive the news and mistakenly thought I was their guest, so they brought me in."

Shi Jin: "You just met the host, did you find anything?"

While paying attention to the movements outside, Yu Ci said, "That old woman is very cautious. I can't get anything out of her, but I found that she is very sensitive to the surname Chen. I just mentioned it casually and she reacted strongly."

Shi Jin nodded, his eyes a little cold: "Their behavior has a fixed pattern and order, and this behavior has existed for a long time, at least a year."

Thinking in a worse direction, perhaps the original intention of building Qiulu Temple three years ago was to use the temple to cover up the filth below.

Shi Jin lowered his eyelids, using his thick black eyelashes to hide the anger in his eyes: "Those in the courtyard should be newcomers, and have not yet been disciplined by the temple, so they cannot receive guests."

"Did you bring your cell phone?" Yu Ci frowned, his face looking very ugly: "My cell phone was taken away after I came in."

"Hurry up."

The voice of a nun scolding was heard outside the house.

Shi Jin and Yu Ci looked at each other and quickly separated.

Taking advantage of the sound of the nun pushing the door to block the sound, Shi Jin quickly put the monitor back on the foot of the bed and lowered his voice: "I called the police before coming in."

Yu Ci's eyes met his and then separated: "Delay time."

Shi Jin nodded almost imperceptibly.

When the nun came in, the two guests were one sitting and one standing, and everything seemed normal in the room.

She pulled the woman in the monk's robes behind her into the room. She glanced at the foot of the bed casually and saw that the monitor was still there. She smiled and pushed the person in front of her: "You two, I have brought the person to you."

Yu Ci glanced at the person in front of him, without saying whether he was satisfied or not, he just glanced at the nun with a light gaze: "You can leave now."

The nun rubbed her hands together and said, "She is still young. Please forgive me if I have offended her."

Yu Ci waved his hands at her, looking impatient: "Okay, I know my limits, you leave quickly."

"squeak--"

The door was closed.

Shi Jin raised his eyes and looked at the woman who was hiding herself in the corner, his brows slightly furrowed.

This was the woman he had just seen.

But compared to the quick glance just now, when he looked carefully this time, he found that the woman seemed to be younger than he expected.

Maybe fifteen or sixteen.

It should still be the age when you can study without any worries.

Yu Ci couldn't help but say, "What a scumbag."

Shi Jin took off the monitoring device at the foot of the bed and threw it out of the window, his eyes lingering on the face of the woman in the corner.

He paused, and when he spoke again it was in another language: "Hello."

The woman in the corner moved slightly.

There was a reaction, so he guessed right.

Shi Jin pursed her lips and continued to communicate with her in Country X's language: "Don't be afraid, I won't touch you."

"Do you want to go home?"

"ah."

The woman's body trembled violently. She took a few steps back, uttered two incoherent sounds, then hugged her head and huddled into her knees.

Shi Jin and Yu Ci's eyes met, and they saw solemnity in each other's eyes.

"She...can't seem to speak."

Yu Ci nodded: "No wonder that nun could send the undisciplined person to us without any worries."

A foreign woman who can't speak, can't speak the language or read, can't cause much trouble even if she does something.

It had been a long time since Shi Jin had experienced such a huge mood swing.

The surging anger rolled up into his brain, which made his thinking clearer: "You just said that the host is very sensitive to the surname Chen, right?"

"right."

Yu Ci frowned.

He was just casually talking about Brother Chen at the time, but when the old witch heard him say Brother Chen, the expression on her face changed instantly. Although she adjusted herself quickly, he still saw it.

Yu Ci: "I suspect that this Qiulu Temple may be related to an official or a wealthy businessman named Chen. The possibility of a wealthy businessman is higher."

Since ancient times, there have been examples of merchants using money and beauty to bribe officials. However, the country is now cracking down on banquets and social events, and ordinary nightclubs and bars are being strictly inspected to crack down on power-for-sex transactions.

This severe crackdown has been going on for several years and there is no sign of it stopping.

In order to avoid strict inspections from above, using the purity of Buddhist places to cover up the filth underneath is more like something a wealthy businessman would do in order to bribe officials for convenience.

"No need to doubt it." Shi Jin lowered his eyes, his eyes cold and condensed: "It's the Chen family."

Yu Ci's eyebrows suddenly twisted: "Are you talking about the Chen family in Chuncheng?"

"Although Chuncheng is not far from City B, it is definitely not close either. It might be a bit hasty to conclude that the Chen family is just based on the surname Chen."

Shi Jin tightly grasped the armrest of the bed: "I came to Qiulu Mountain because of Chen Yuan."

He raised his head, his usually light amber eyes darkened: "She is a member of the Chen family."
