Yu Jin had a blank expression on his face and watched the show coldly.
Qingqing was horrified and asked the brothel owner for help: "Mom——"
The brothel owner hurried over and asked: "Master, have you drunk too much?"
Qingqing took the opportunity to break free and hid behind the brothel owner.
The man looked unhappy: "Mother Liu, you are so mean. Why didn't you call such a good girl out to serve me earlier?"
"Master, Qingqing is new here and hasn't received any guests yet."
The man chuckled and said, "You're my favorite, young lady. Come on, come upstairs with me and have a drink."
Seeing the man stretch out his big hand like a palm-leaf fan to grab her, Qingqing screamed in surprise.
The man was impatient with the brothel owner's interference, so he pushed her away and opened his arms to embrace Qingqing: "Come on, my beauty."
Qingqing was panicked and looked up to see Yu Jian standing by and watching. She ran towards him as if she had seen a savior: "Master, save me——"
When the man saw Yu Jian, his expression changed: "Who are you?"
"Onlookers."
"What?" The man didn't understand for a moment, and said fiercely, "I'm warning you, this girl is the one I like. If you dare to compete with me for her, watch out for your life!"
Qingqing hurriedly hid behind Yu Jin and said with courage: "I have been reserved by this young master, so you should go find another sister..."
"I'm really interested in you. Boy, get out of my way!"
Yu Jin quickly moved out of the way.
The man was very surprised, and looked at Yu Jin in astonishment, forgetting to react for a moment.
Yu Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I haven't paid the bill. Please do whatever you want."
"You know my face!"
Seeing Yu Jin walking past the man and heading towards the door, the brothel owner's lips trembled.
How come this guy has no blood at all? He is not even a man!
"Let's go, my beauty!" The man picked up Qingqing with one hand and walked upstairs with a lewd smile.
Qingqing struggled desperately, but the people in the hall were used to it and didn't even have the interest to look at her any longer.
The brothel owner quickly caught up with Yu Jin: "Sir——"
Yu Jin's face darkened: "I'm here to have a good time, not to see the injustice. Your Fufang class is really boring. I'd better change to another one."
"Hey, sir, sir——"
Yu Jin had already walked out, and he casually called a small boat floating on the river and jumped on it.
The night breeze blew, and the fragrance wafted in the air. Yu Jin frowned uncomfortably, then smiled as he listened to the brothel owner's curse.
People have seen it before, but that's all. He just won't cooperate, let's see how they act next.
As for getting the person close to him first so as to lure out the big fish behind him, he was too lazy to do such a thing. There are many ways to find out the person behind the scenes, and there is no need to choose the one that disgusts you the most.
Thinking about how close the brothel owner was to Qingqing just now, Yu Jin suddenly felt disgusted and thought: What a pity, what a pity, I have to take at least two baths when I go back.
In Fufang's class, after the man carried Qingqing upstairs, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head and lost consciousness.
The brothel owner and Qingqing looked at each other in a quiet room.
Faint teasing sounds came from outside the window. It was the busiest time on the Jinshui River. After a while, those men who had watched enough singing and dancing and were slightly drunk would embrace Hua Niang and spend the night together.
"I have already provided the convenience. There is nothing we can do if the fish doesn't take the bait." The brothel owner was the first to break the silence.
Qingqing pursed her lips and said nothing.
She was just a chess piece, not in line with the mission goal, and there were people who were more anxious than her.
"Oh, Miss Qingqing, if you have set your eyes on that young man, can you think of another way? You don't accept other customers, but you have such a seductive face. If you continue like this, you will offend all the patrons of my Fufang class." The brothel owner complained and poured herself a cup of tea.
Qingqing held her chin with one hand: "Based on my mother's experience, is that young man a traitor?"
The brothel owner was so stunned that she almost spit out her tea.
"Since he came to visit Jinshui River, there is no reason for him to be so cold." Qingqing murmured.
She is still quite confident about her appearance.
"I don't know about that. Maybe the gentleman just doesn't like the taste of clear water lotus."
Qingqing stroked her cheek.
Yu Jin had already left the boat and walked to a deserted place and called out, "Leng Ying."
A shadow appeared silently in front of Yu Jin.
"Send a few people to keep an eye on Fufangban and see who comes into contact with Qingqing."
"Yes." Leng Ying responded, and disappeared quietly like a shadow.
Yu Jin looked up and saw a cold crescent moon hanging in the sky, thin and emitting a faint light.
He exhaled lightly, as if to get rid of all the scent of makeup he had inhaled, and then went home.
Early the next morning, Yu Jin went to Songzi Lane.
A stall selling sweet-scented osmanthus cake appeared at the entrance of Songzi Alley. Yu Jin bought a portion of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. She couldn't help but smile at the tender pink and light green cake, thinking that Ah Si would definitely like it.
When he reached the door of the house, he realized that Jiang Si would definitely not come at this time, and someone else was living inside, so he stood at the door and ate the cakes silently.
Long Dan turned away.
He really doesn't want to admit that this is his master!
Wiping the corner of his mouth, Yu Jin motioned Long Dan to go forward and knock on the door.
There is no guard in the house. Usually, only Ah Fei comes here from time to time. Last night, when Yu Jin left, he asked Long Dan to send someone over, ostensibly to protect Chu Chu, but in reality it was for surveillance.
Yu Jinke has no kindness to show sympathy to women, and has no good feelings towards anyone who might bring trouble to Jiang Si.
The door opened and Yu Jin walked in.
Chuchu had already woken up and was a little surprised by Yujin's sudden arrival.
Yu Jin pointed to the stone chair under the tree and said, "Sit down."
Chuchu sat down opposite him.
"How is Miss Chuchu's injury?"
"Better." Chu Chu didn't understand what Yu Jin meant by this question, so she said vaguely.
Compared to the moody young man in front of her, she preferred dealing with the girl who was kidnapped last night.
It’s still the fragile little girl that makes people feel at ease.
"That's good." Yu Jin tapped the stone table with his fingers, smiling, "I have a suggestion, Miss Chuchu might as well listen to it."
"Please go ahead."
"There is a group of people you don't know about who are chasing you. You are in the open while the enemy is in the dark. In this case, even if you recover from your injuries here, you will still be entangled after you go out, right?"
Chu Chu was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I understand. You think I've caused you trouble."
This man is so shameless that he chased someone away without telling his fiancée.
His fiancée saved her, but she still didn't know what he really looked like. It was such a pity.
Yu Jin waved his hands: "Isn't it obvious that I'm causing trouble? So do you want to cooperate with me to solve this problem?"
If the group of people chasing Chuchu were actually going after Ah Si, it would mean that they were the same group behind Qingqing, and it might be easier to start with Chuchu.
"How to cooperate?"
"You are the bait, and I will take care of those people."
Chu Chu carefully looked at Yu Jin's expression and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so she asked in surprise, "Why are you helping me like this?"
