When Qin Kou'er came out again, Hu Feifan had already regained his usual demeanor. He stood at the entrance of Qin Kou'er's private room, leaning on the jade railing and looking down, with his usual gentle smile on his lips, as if nothing had happened.
Qin Kou'er smiled coldly to herself: As expected of the eldest grandson of the current prime minister and the heir of the first family, his profound intellect and composure are not something that ordinary people can achieve.
A faint smile played on Qin Kou'er's lips as she glanced back at Jun Yannuo. "See? Hu Feifan's methods aren't something you can easily manipulate. Just watch, the real show is yet to come!"
Qin Kou'er turned around, her voice gentle and her expression calm and composed. She walked over and said with a smile, "Young Master Hu, you've come all the way to my door, why aren't you coming in to sit down? Why are you still here admiring the scenery? Could it be that you've also been attracted by Miss Ling'er's exceptional talent?"
As always, Hu Feifan smiled with his gentlest expression, then pointed at the people below and winked mischievously: "I'm just curious, who's in such high spirits today that they dare to let all the girls come out naked! I've never seen such refined taste before. But, it's a bit of an eyesore for you, Ke'er!"
Qin Kou'er chuckled, covering her mouth with her exquisitely white hand, exuding a captivating charm. Looking at Hu Feifan, her gaze shifted as she said, "This is the first time I've ever seen a police station like this. Putting everything else aside, now I understand why you men abandon your wives and flock to this place. Apparently, these naked young women are free to look at, so who's going to stay with their own haggard wives?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Feifan immediately burst into laughter, "Kou'er, your insights are always so insightful! Come on, let's go inside, let's not look at those indecent things here!"
As he spoke, Hu Feifan very graciously stepped aside to let Qin Kou'er go first.
Qin Kou'er was anything but modest; she looked up and went inside first. Hu Feifan followed closely behind.
While she was talking to Hu Feifan, Qin Kou'er had already noticed out of the corner of her eye that Hu Feifan's men were everywhere in the Yuanyang Tower. They were quietly searching room by room, clearly looking for the mysterious old man who dared to spend the night with Qin Kou'er.
Hu Feifan was no fool. He must have seen the madam when he came out and learned that no honest official had been called in by Qin Kou'er to serve him alone tonight. Instead, it was that mysterious rich man who had some contact with Qin Kou'er.
Serves him right; it was Lan Linxue's fault for deliberately making everyone naked to embarrass her. Although Lan Linxue never showed his face when entering the private room, his actions were even more mysterious and bizarre. With such exaggerated movements, if Hu Feifan still didn't know that a major change was about to occur tonight, then he was a pig.
But what Qin Kou'er didn't know was that Hu Feifan's most pressing reason for wanting to find this person was simply because he had touched the woman in his heart. He was determined to find him and tear him to pieces. Otherwise, the fire in his heart would eventually consume him.
However, Lan Linxue vanished in that instant. Although there were still people in his most luxurious and extravagant private room, they were definitely not the same people Qin Kou'er had seen at the beginning.
Qin Kou'er knew that Lan Linxue must have made comprehensive arrangements when he came out to meet her, just in case something unexpected happened, and had someone investigate his background. It seemed that Lan Linxue was definitely not just a spoiled brat as the rumors suggested, and was completely different from the person she had investigated.
Thinking of this, Qin Kou'er felt a sudden pang of panic for the first time. Lan Linxue had slipped out of her control, which made her extremely uncomfortable. Just how meticulous and cunning was this person, that he could change the entire subsequent plan with just the first step?! Hu Feifan was destined not to find Lan Linxue, because Lan Linxue had already deeply hidden in the darkness.
The two men, each with their own thoughts, entered the private room and sat on two soft chairs. They drank tea and talked, their faces beaming with friendly smiles. But deep down, they were both thinking about the same question: Where did that person go?
As midnight approached, the Yuanyang Pavilion became exceptionally lively, with all the dignitaries invited that evening arriving. The auction for the courtesan Zhao Ling'er was scheduled for three-quarters of the hour after midnight, and everyone had come specifically to buy her.
Zhao Ling'er hadn't officially appeared yet, but everyone already knew that the courtesan and the girls in the brothel would be naked tonight, which fueled their lustful desires and caused more and more screams from below.
Hu Feifan took a sip of tea, then looked at Qin Kou'er with a smile and asked, "Kou'er, what made you decide to choose the most beautiful courtesan at Yuanyang Pavilion today? I can understand if all the men come here to choose one. But I don't know what you want to buy the most beautiful courtesan for?"
Qin Kou'er smiled slightly, looking at Hu Feifan with a coquettish expression, and said, "What? You're allowed to set the whole mountain on fire, but I'm not allowed to light a lamp at night?" After speaking, Qin Kou'er sighed softly, looking at the candlelight outside, and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just have a guqin, but I can never tune it properly, which has always left me with a sense of regret. I heard that Zhao Ling'er is a world-class tuner, so I wanted to buy her to improve the tone of my guqin. It's that simple!"
"So that's what it was for! If you had known it was for something like this, you could have just invited her back and transferred her twice. Why did you have to spend so much money to come all the way here to buy her back?" As he spoke, Hu Feifan glanced down at the teacup in his hand. "It seems like you're making a mountain out of a molehill!"
“Young Master, what you say is quite surprising!” Qin Kou’er said very seriously, “My guqin is a masterpiece of nature. Even I would burn incense and wash my hands before even glancing at it. How could I let a courtesan touch it so casually? If Zhao Ling’er buys it, I will make her fast for 49 days and then burn incense and pray before she can touch my guqin in plain clothes. Otherwise, wouldn’t that ruin my refined and elegant reputation?”
