Chapter 502 Performing Beastly Acts
Lin Yuesha listened to the instruction with her eyes closed. What the man with the mole said made sense. She could do whatever she wanted with the money. She wouldn't come to Wenjun Tower because of the mission.
The money wasn't paid out of her own pocket; it went through the company's accounts, so it didn't concern her much.
Since you're doing things for others and risking your reputation, of course you should make yourself comfortable.
"Miss Lin, please stop pretending."
Xiao Qi was furious that his younger sister didn't take it seriously and spoke so confidently, so he decided to expose her disguise. Did she think no one would recognize her just because she was dressed as a man? How naive.
Lin Yuesha wasn't surprised to be recognized, as she had already prepared herself mentally.
“Brother Zhongren, you also know that I am a woman disguised as a man. Once I revert to my female attire, the people of Wenjun Tower will not be able to find me, but you... will be quite conspicuous.”
Lin Yuesha glanced at the person with the large mole with pity. The mole on his face was so obvious that if the people from Wenjun Tower posted a notice, they might be able to find him.
Xiao Qi: ...
“I’m not the one looking for male prostitutes. Even if I go to the Jingzhao Yin’s office, I can still seek justice.”
Xiao Qi's lips twitched; he was about to burst out laughing, almost choking on his own little sister's words.
The burly man drew closer, and the two men stopped speaking. The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The houses in this alley are near Taipingfang. Unlike the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood, the houses are unusually quiet at this time. There are no lanterns in the alley, but looking in from the high walls, it seems that there are people living there.
With a creak, the iron gate opened with a heavy thud, and then someone carrying a lantern came out from the neighboring courtyard.
To conceal her figure in the shadows, Lin Yuesha clung tightly to the man with the large mole. Although he was not particularly handsome or well-dressed, he exuded a scholarly air, much like her stepbrother.
Lin Yuesha was lost in thought when Xiao Qi tugged at her.
Several burly men found the light and immediately went forward, only to be taken aback when they saw the person holding a lantern at the gate of the courtyard.
"Young Master Yu?"
Young Master Yu was a regular at Wenjun Tower, and all the burly men recognized him.
"That's right, you all..."
Seeing the group of people wandering around, Yu Zicheng asked in confusion, "Are you here to see me?"
"You've misunderstood; I'm not here to see you."
The burly men were very polite to the young master; they had come to find a shameless scoundrel who was trying to get something for nothing.
"Young masters Fengzhu and Suizhu have been looked at and touched by that man, but they still refuse to pay. They dare to come to Wenjun Tower to freeload without money. They must have a death wish. They even went so far as to devise a whole scheme for this!"
The burly men were furious. They tried to take advantage of the situation and then run away. One of them pretended to go to the toilet, and another was caught and taken back. They put on two acts, and finally, they tried to escape again.
"Is that so? Then who are these people?"
After losing the hairpin, Yu Zicheng had a bad feeling. He has been very careful lately, afraid that someone would come looking for him.
When he went out late at night and saw several people lying in wait at the door, he even thought that what he had done had been exposed.
It seems that this is not the case.
"Oh dear, he's just a young, green-skinned kid who hasn't even grown his hair yet. Our madam said to take him back and bring him straight to the brothel to serve customers."
One of the burly men gave a fawning smile, and Yu Zicheng, hearing that the person who came was still young, did not suspect anything.
If they were discovered, it would be unlikely that a clueless young man would find Wenjun Tower. Judging from the burly man's description, he was probably a rich young master driven by curiosity.
"The world is going to the dogs, people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. Fengzhu was touched and she's still crying in the building."
After the burly men finished speaking, they sighed.
Xiao Qi glanced at his younger sister out of the corner of his eye, and Lin Yuesha immediately straightened her back. She swore that she hadn't!
The two men started playing music and singing as soon as they entered. They were dressed in white gauze, but Lin Yuesha didn't take a close look. Besides, what's so interesting about a effeminate young master who doesn't have much meat on his bones?
That beast wasn't her; it must have been Xu Da. She was with Yu Zicheng at the time and had no idea what beastly things Xu Da had done!
Xiao Qi's expression was somber, and he remained silent.
"Young Master Yu, do you own a residence here?"
People who come to Wenjun Tower are not exactly open and aboveboard; after all, it is a place of entertainment and pleasure, and sometimes they need to cover up their behavior.
The burly men only knew that Young Master Yu was generous, but they didn't know his identity, so they asked him a question.
"yes."
Yu Zicheng glanced at the sky, didn't talk much with the others, and hurriedly left.
Lin Yuesha carefully noted the location of the residence. Although this trip was risky, it was very rewarding. Thanks to the person with the mole, she would never have been able to find Young Master Yu's residence in Taipingfang.
At this time, Young Master Yu went out, and no one knows where he went.
After Young Master Yu left, the burly men also left.
Lin Yuesha breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to leave the shadows. It was getting late, and there was a curfew in the inner city, so she had to go home as soon as possible.
Mother Chen usually goes to bed early, but if she can't sleep in the middle of the night and tries to talk to her, only to find that she's not in the house, then things will get serious.
"Wait a moment."
Xiao Qi called out to Lin Yuesha, "You can't just leave like this."
"Thank you for your help, Brother Zhongren. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely help you sell the haunted house."
Rather than saying it was sold, it was more like it was tricked out. Lin Yuesha sincerely thanked the man with the mole, and as for tonight's events, since they involved official business, she hoped he would keep it a secret.
"Do you want silver?"
Lin Yuesha's face darkened. Da Zhi had learned that she had disguised herself as a man to go to Wenjun Tower and wanted to use this as leverage to threaten her and demand money.
"Miss Lin, you've misunderstood."
Xiao Qi felt frustrated. This persona he used was different from the pockmarked face. He was honest, reliable, serious, and diligent in selling haunted houses. He also ran away with his little sister and did so many good deeds. In the end, he was suspected. Even he couldn't help but feel frustrated.
"What is that?"
Lin Yuesha still had doubts, but if she was threatened, she would leave it to Prince Luo to handle.
"Now is not a good time to leave."
Xiao Qi pointed to the alley entrance. If he wasn't mistaken, those burly men were hidden all around, ready to ambush the two of them.
The two men got away without getting any money, and the strong men had no way to go back and explain themselves.
Lin Yuesha shifted her body slightly, hiding around the corner to peek. Just as the person with the large mole had said, she saw the burly man's shoes.
These people are too clever; they even know what "waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump" means!
Surrounded by houses, Lin Yuesha had nowhere to go, so she could only squat there with a worried expression, trying to outlast the burly men in terms of patience.
A quarter of an hour felt like a year. Lin Yuesha looked around carefully again; those people were still there.
"well."
Lin Yuesha sighed and apologized to the man with the large mole, "I'm so sorry, I've only dragged you down with me."
How did things get to this point, where one wrong step leads to another, when it could have been resolved with just four hundred taels of silver and without having to pay out of pocket?
With nothing to do, Lin Yuesha turned to observe the nearby houses and discovered that Taipingfang was a good location.
