Chapter 327: Specializing in Kidnapping Young Girls
When Shopkeeper Hu walked in, he glanced at Su Yue who was sitting on the chair without leaving a trace, and then put the porridge on the table.
"Leave it here and go out first." Shangguan Nanxing spoke. After Shopkeeper Hu responded, he turned around and walked out. When he closed the door, he deliberately glanced at Su Yue.
"Ruofeng, Xiaohe, both of you come here." Shangguan Nanxing naturally noticed the unfriendly look of Manager Hu, but now was not the time to expose this man.
Not long after, Manager Hu saw the lights in the room go out, and he finally felt relieved. He had put a sleeping pill in the porridge and all he had to do was wait for the drug to take effect. In his opinion, the male servant should have some kung fu skills, and it would definitely not be a wise choice to take action now.
He turned around and walked towards a shabby little house.
What he didn't know was that Ruofeng had quietly followed him.
"You old fool, you are ruining my good deeds. If you were not my biological father, I would have broken your other leg."
As soon as the shopkeeper Hu walked into the house, he heard sounds of beating and scolding. Ruofeng was moved when he heard it, as the old man just now turned out to be the shopkeeper's father.
So he quietly walked forward, pressed close to the dilapidated window, and carefully watched what was going on inside.
The old man inside was dragged to the ground by the shopkeeper Hu, who kept kicking and hitting him, cursing at him. If the master had not specifically instructed him to do so, Ruofeng might have rushed in long ago.
"You old fool, you never learn your lesson and you keep me from making big money." After saying that, the shopkeeper Hu kicked him hard again.
"Son, this is really against the will of heaven. You can't do it again. There is a god above us. You will be punished by heaven for harming young girls like this!"
The old man lay on the ground, curled up like a shrimp, protecting his abdomen, afraid that his son would kick him in the stomach.
"God's punishment, what kind of God's punishment is that? My previous employer got so many young girls and made a lot of money. Isn't he living a happy life now?"
When Shopkeeper Hu heard the old man's words, he seemed very disdainful.
"You cowardly old thing, if you weren't so timid, I wouldn't be hiding in this place. I warn you, if you do that again, I will break your other leg as well. If you become paralyzed, you won't be able to stop me, right?"
After Shopkeeper Hu finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, spat at the old man, opened the door and walked out.
Ruofeng heard the sound of the door opening and quickly dodged to the side.
"The young lady today is really a top-notch one. The higher-ups will definitely be satisfied." Shopkeeper Hu went out and glanced in the direction of Su Yue and Shangguan Nanxing's room with a lewd and satisfied smile.
When Ruofeng heard what Manager Hu said, his heart skipped a beat. It turned out that his master's guess was correct. Manager Hu had someone above him.
And from what Shopkeeper Hu and the old man just said, it seems that Shopkeeper Hu is not the only one doing this.
"Son, why don't you listen to my advice?" When the old man saw the man leave, he just held the leg of the wooden bed beside him, stood up with difficulty, and kept muttering.
After taking a look, Ruofeng was not allowed to go in. It was still unclear whether this old man was a good person or a bad person. What if he was using a trick of inflicting pain on them?
Thinking of this, Ruofeng turned around quickly and slipped into Shangguan Nanxing's room quietly.
About half an hour later, with the sound of a wooden door being pushed open, Manager Hu poked his head in and looked inside carefully. In the darkness, he saw someone lying on the table.
"Sir? Sir?" Shopkeeper Hu called out carefully twice, thinking that if there was a response, he would use the excuse he had prepared before, but the room remained silent without any response.
Shopkeeper Hu knew that the drug had taken effect, so he walked in with confidence and lit the lamp beside the table.
Under the dim light, four people were lying neatly on the table in the room.
"These two young women are indeed landmarks, especially this one, who will definitely fetch a good price." Shopkeeper Hu looked at Su Yue, who was lying on her side with her eyes closed, stroked his beard, and muttered with certainty.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he raised the shiny sword in his hand and walked towards Ruofeng.
"This should require some kung fu. I'll deal with it first, just in case." Shopkeeper Hu said in a low voice again. He was the only one there from beginning to end.
Just as Shopkeeper Hu raised his sword and was about to chop at Ruofeng, Ruofeng turned around swiftly, grabbed Shopkeeper Hu's right wrist with one hand, and strangled Shopkeeper Hu's throat with the other hand.
After a dull "bang" sound, the other three also stood up. Su Yue glanced at the ground and saw that the big knife had been cut into the floor and was firmly nailed there.
"Are you pretending to be unconscious?" Shopkeeper Hu understood everything when he saw that everyone was awake.
"I wanted to stay unconscious for a while longer to see if you had any accomplices, but I didn't expect you to come up and chop me up?"
After Ruofeng said this, he exerted a little more strength in his hands, and Shopkeeper Hu's face immediately turned ugly.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want a young girl to do?" Shangguan Nanxing stepped forward and asked directly.
"Hmph!" Shopkeeper Hu snorted harshly and didn't answer.
"You won't tell me, right? Ruofeng, just cripple his right hand and see how he does bad things in the future."
Su Yue's eyes narrowed and what she said shocked Shopkeeper Hu. This woman looked pretty, but how come her hands became useless as soon as she opened her mouth?
Apparently, Shopkeeper Hu had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. While he was stunned, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist following a crisp click.
"Ah, ah..." Shopkeeper Hu screamed like a pig being slaughtered. The tremendous pain made him break out in cold sweat and he even began to lose his balance.
"Are you still being stubborn? Otherwise, I'll cripple your other hand as well." Seeing that Shopkeeper Hu was just screaming and had no intention of talking, Su Yue signaled to Ruofeng with her eyes.
"Madam, please show mercy, please show mercy." At this time, the old man outside the door heard his son's screams, and realizing that someone had made a sound, he staggered in.
"Old man, do you know what's going on?" Su Yue looked at the old man. He wanted to drive them away at the door before, and based on what Ruofeng just said, he didn't think he was a bad person.
"I don't know much, I just know that the higher-ups are going to take the young girl away and send her to the Mo Kingdom. Please let my son go. He will definitely turn over a new leaf in the future. I, an old man, am willing to take the punishment for him."
After the old man rushed in, he knelt down beside Manager Hu, kowtowed and begged in a low voice.
When Su Yue and Shangguan Nanxing heard the word "Moguo", they looked at each other and their expressions changed.
"You old bastard, get away from me. Just consider this as my bad luck and accept my defeat." Shopkeeper Hu was a little touched when he heard his father's words, but he still cursed.
"You're quite stubborn. You're only after the money. Tell me everything you know and do us a favor, and the money will be yours."
At this time, Su Yue took out a silver ingot weighing fifty taels and waved it in front of Manager Hu.
Since the hard approach doesn’t work, try the soft approach.
"Humph, it's too obvious that you're slapping someone and then giving them a sweet treat." Shopkeeper Hu held his right wrist and looked at Su Yue with disdain in his eyes.
"Why, you think it's too little? How about one hundred taels?" Su Yue said, and took out another ingot.
"What do you want me to do?" Shopkeeper Hu looked at the huge pile of silver and was finally tempted. The most beautiful girl before was only worth ten taels, so this one hundred taels would be enough for him to spend for a while.
"It's very simple. Take us to meet your boss and tell him everything you know." Su Yue looked at Shopkeeper Hu and knew that he had been moved, so she forced a meaningful smile.
