Chapter 13: Infatuated Man 2
◎Smash the brothel◎
Yan Yue was very surprised that she actually found Chen's father!
She took out a piece of silver from her purse and said, "Tell me where Chen Xiaomei is, and this piece of silver is yours."
Chen's father's cloudy eyes sparkled: "I, I sold her to a brothel."
Yan Yue asked, "Which brothel?"
"Zuixianglou."
But Zui Xiang Lou is the one that Liu Jie is guarding. Yan Yue frowned and said, "You are lying! I went to Zui Xiang Lou to ask around, and the people there said there is no such person as Chen Xiaomei!"
Father Chen seemed a little angry and said, "Nonsense! I personally sent the person in, how could it be false?"
Yan Yue said: "Have you seen Chen Xiaomei again since then?"
Father Chen gnashed his teeth and said, "Who knows where that damn girl ran off to? She was so shameless that she wanted to elope with someone. I don't know what the Liu family member who was in love with her was crazy. They teamed up with others to break my legs! I dared not even go back to the village! I wanted to settle the account with that damn girl, but the madam said she ran away! She also said that if I dare to go again, I will have to pay money!"
Seeing that Chen's father didn't know either, Yan Yue turned around and wanted to leave.
But Chen's father said, "Where's the silver? I've answered your question!"
Yan Yue said: "I'm asking where Chen Xiaomei is. If you don't know, why should I give you money?"
Father Chen gnashed his teeth and said, "You just want to regret it! You don't want to pay the money!"
Yan Yue spat and said, "You won't get a penny!" Then she ran away!
The skirt she was wearing was not conducive to fast running, but she had noticed earlier that Chen's father had a limp, so it was difficult for him to catch up with her.
As I was running, an uninvited guest came towards me!
Sun Yun’s mother!
The clothes on Sun's mother were the same ones she had worn when she fought with Yan Yue that day. They were covered in mud and so dirty that you couldn't even see the places that were burnt that day.
Her eyes were dazed and she kept shouting, "Bao'er! Shanlang!"
Yan Yue was startled when she saw her rushing towards her, but unexpectedly, Sun's mother didn't recognize her and just grabbed her and asked, "Have you seen my Bao'er?"
Yan Yue was tripped and saw that Chen's father was about to catch up with her. She pointed at Chen's father and said, "He is the one who took your baby away!"
Mother Sun's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and she screamed "Ahhhhh" and rushed towards Father Chen, starting to fight without saying a word!
"Give me back my baby! Give me back my baby!"
Yan Yuexin said that she was indeed a strong village woman!
Although Mr. Chen was thin and lame, Mother Sun was able to beat him without any resistance. Her fighting power was so terrifying! But she didn't have the courage to stand there and watch the fun, so she quickly took the opportunity to run away, lest they react and she wouldn't be able to handle it!
Yan Yue ran to the busy street in one breath. Listening to the bustling voices, she felt that her heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled down.
The streets were filled with the smell of fireworks, which gradually calmed my uneasy heart.
A shop was selling sweet sauce duck. The sweet smell of honey penetrated into Yan Yue's nose, arousing her appetite. I lied to Bai Chen this morning that I was going hunting for game, but he didn't mind coming back empty-handed. I'll buy him some sweet sauce duck as compensation!
Yan Yue happily walked into the inn, and Bai Chen asked her sullenly, "Where are you going now?"
She quickly held up the sweet sauce duck and said flatteringly, "I'm going to buy you something delicious! This is sweet sauce duck, fresh food! It's said to taste sweet and salty, smell it, it's delicious!"
Bai Chen's expression lightened up a bit, and he covered his nose with his fingers again, frowned and asked, "What do you smell like?"
The place where the beggars gathered was very dirty, and Yan Yue inevitably got some dirt on her body. Just when she didn't know how to explain, Bai Chen asked again: "You didn't do hard labor to buy this duck, did you?"
There was no point in using the ready-made excuse. Yan Yue nodded like pecking at rice: "Yes! That's right!"
Bai Chen had a look of expected surprise on his face. He took off his purse and threw it to her, saying, "When you need money in the future, tell me! Don't make yourself so smelly and annoying!"
"Okay!"
There was an unexpected gain. Yan Yue was so happy that she almost jumped up and agreed so readily!
Bai Chen saw her happy expression and thought that this little fool really couldn't hide anything on his mind! But he pretended to be disgusted and said, "Go take a shower! You are making me stink!"
*
In the end, most of the pickled duck went into Yan Yue's stomach. Bai Chen only grabbed one leg and gnawed on the back bone with a resentful look on his face.
He felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have told her that it would taste better if she rushed to eat it.
This little fool really wanted to snatch it, and even dared to snatch it from him! I can’t remember how many hundreds of years it has been since anyone dared to snatch food from his mouth. She is really——
So stupid!
At night, when Bai Chen was about to go out, he unexpectedly discovered Yan Yue dressed as a man, sneaking out of the inn.
He became suspicious and followed quietly, only to find that Yan Yue had gone to the Zui Xiang Lou again!
What's wrong with this girl? She goes to brothels and becomes addicted to them? !
Yan Yue thought, even if others hadn't heard of Chen Xiaomei, the brothel owner must have known her. Since she said Chen Xiaomei ran away, maybe we can find out how Chen Xiaomei ran away? Who are you running with?
When the madam saw Yan Yue taking out the silver ingot, she smiled so kindly.
Yan Yue hurriedly asked, but when the madam heard Chen Xiaomei's name, she looked confused. It was not until she mentioned the incident seven years ago, when a man named Liu Jie came to find Chen Xiaomei and was beaten to death by them, that the madam's face changed drastically.
The madam changed her expression so quickly!
In the first two sentences, he flattered her like a rich man, but in this sentence, he turned hostile and scolded her, "We in Zui Xiang Lou run a clean business, how can you slander us like this! Get out! Don't interfere with our business!"
Yan Yue was pushed around by the madam. She could clearly see that although the madam looked fierce, her eyes were full of panic. She asked, "Why are you so guilty?"
The madam's eyes suddenly widened with anger, and she shouted to the side: "Someone, throw this crazy girl out!"
Four burly men surrounded Yan Yue in an instant. Two of them grabbed one of her arms respectively, carried her to the door like a chick, and threw her out without mercy!
Yan Yue fell flat on her face and yelled at the arrogant madam on the steps: "I've already paid! Can't I ask you a few questions? Besides, you've already done it, are you still afraid of being questioned? I'm not here to accuse you!"
The madam's slightly fat hands were shaking with anger. She pointed at Yan Yue and ordered, "Give it to me, hit him!"
Yan Yue was so scared that she quickly got up and ran away, her legs shaking like fire wheels!
The two big men who were chasing with sticks suddenly tripped and fell to the ground with their faces on!
The madam cursed him as "waste", turned around and went back upstairs, returning to her room in a depressed mood.
After closing the door, I saw a young man sitting at the round table that was empty just now! Looking closely, isn't this the brother who brought that dead girl here that day?
The madam was even more furious: "What do you think my Zui Xiang Lou is? How can you two brats be so presumptuous? Someone come here!"
After a while, several big men rushed into the room. Looking at the man in white sitting at the table calmly drinking tea, they suddenly felt timid for some reason and dared not go forward.
The madam kicked her subordinate viciously and yelled, "What are you looking at! Do something! Why do I need to keep you useless people?"
Before anyone could do anything, the man in white sneered.
With a smile on his face, he casually put down the teacup in his hand and pressed it lightly with his index finger.
In an instant! Several strong men felt as if a mountain was pressing down on their backs, and they fell to the ground involuntarily! Their faces were red and their necks were thick, but they were suppressed so tightly that they couldn't even make a sound!
The only procuress who was still standing had a look of fear on her face, her legs weakened as she asked, "You, you are a monster?!"
Bai Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, are you willing to tell her what she asked now?"
The madam fell to her knees, her voice trembling with incoherent words: "I, I, I, I said...that Chen Xiaomei, she was dead dead...she, she refused to obey, and she just, just took the scissors and stabbed her neck..."
"And that Chen Jialang... these reckless men don't know how to handle serious matters... But I have paid compensation... The government can testify..."
The smile on Bai Chen's face finally faded completely. Is the little fool's friend dead? How could he tell her this?
He stood up, looked down at the madam and said, "Tomorrow morning, you will go to the Bafang Inn to find the girl named Yan Yue and tell her about Chen Xiaomei. Otherwise, I will ensure that your family will not have peace in the future!"
The madam quickly responded: "Yes, yes, yes..."
Bai Chen continued: "Alright! Now go and notify everyone in the building to leave immediately."
"Ah?" The madam was a little confused.
Bai Chen said: "Because of this Zui Xiang Tower, it will collapse soon."
The madam's eyes widened, and she opened her mouth to beg for mercy, but Bai Chen spoke before her: "Since you hurt my people, I have to teach you a lesson. Don't talk too much tomorrow, otherwise, I will immediately send you to meet those who died in vain at your hands. Do you understand?"
He released his powerful aura, and the old procuress trembled all over like a sieve. She dared not say a word and just nodded frantically.
The figure flashed before her eyes and the madam collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
The mountain-like pressure suddenly disappeared, and several strong men resumed their actions. However, they had no time to be afraid, and directly dragged the madam out, shouting as they ran: "Run! Run! The building is going to collapse!"
When everyone swarmed out of Zui Xiang Lou, Zui Xiang Lou was still standing there.
A middle-aged man who hadn't finished his work, with his clothes in a mess, was so angry that he pointed at the eunuch in the building and cursed: "You dog slave! What the hell are you yelling about! How dare you ruin my mood..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard the squeaking sound that is only made when wood is twisted.
Looking over there, I saw more piercing noises coming from inside the building. It was as if the sturdy wood supporting the building could not withstand the heavy pressure and broke and collapsed.
Zui Xiang Lou, the most imposing restaurant on the whole street, was crushed by an invisible giant hand right in front of everyone!
Yes, it didn’t collapse.
Instead, it was like a ball of paper, squeezed into a ball and broken into pieces!
Everyone gasped, "What is this, what is going on?"
"The madam must have done something evil and angered the gods!"
"This madam has a very strong backstage! So many girls and male slaves died in the building without any reason, but she got nothing wrong!"
"Don't you see how much money people have spent on the government?"
"Hey, isn't that the chief of the yamen runners and the police officer? Who is the person he is blocking?"
"It seems like he is an official's subordinate?"
When the four or five disheveled people saw that they were recognized, they no longer cared about covering their shame and ran away in shame, hugging the man in the middle.
The crowd laughed at a few people, and the fear of the building collapsing was dispelled.
"God is above us, and the wicked will be punished by God!"
"You talk as if you didn't come here for fun! Now that the building has collapsed, your money today has been wasted!"
"I am also happy to spend money! How can you enjoy this kind of fun just by spending money?"
Bai Chen walked away in a swagger amidst the sighs.
