The door suddenly opened, and a pot-bellied man walked in with a bulging belly and a wicked smile on his face.
Following behind was a patrolman from the mental hospital, who pointed at Lan Niang with a smile on his face: "Sir, do you like this girl? If not, we have many other girls, pretty, charming, noble... all kinds of them."
The two people in the room were silent. This person didn't sound like a guard, but more like a brothel owner.
"That's right, let's take her." The pot-bellied man looked at Lan Niang's pale face and nodded with satisfaction. "Go find my servant later to get the reward."
"Okay, as long as you like it!" The inspector clasped his hands together and smiled even more happily. He turned around with a stern face and ordered Lan Niang: "Remember to serve the master well!"
Lan Niang lowered her eyebrows and responded submissively, then she said to the guest in a gentle voice, "Master, please come in! What kind of tea would you like?"
The door was closed by someone patrolling outside.
Lan Niang breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace. Fortunately, they didn't notice that there was anyone else in the house!
Next second.
The pot-bellied man showed a strange smile on his face, walked up eagerly and was about to hold Lan Niang's hand.
Lan Niang's face became more and more frightened, but she didn't dare to move at all.
Lu Yunxi's eyes sharpened, and he picked up the mace and swung it.
“Ouch—”
After a scream, the man fell to the ground, blood gushing out.
Lan Niang watched the man fall down in front of her, covering her mouth as if in fear. After hearing the screams, her face turned pale uncontrollably.
"What should I do?! He just shouted so loudly! He will definitely..." Lan Niang was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
Lu Yunxi had already heard hurried footsteps outside.
She put her index finger to her lips and shushed.
Lan Niang immediately covered her mouth with her hands and dared not make another sound.
The patrol outside the door rushed over quickly and surrounded the door.
"Is this the place?" The leading patrol guard raised his halberd and pointed inside the door.
"Yes, sir, the scream just now came from this room. Shall we go in now?"
"Wait!" The patrol guard standing at the front frowned and listened carefully to the movement in the house.
"Master, this slave is in so much pain... wuwu..."
"Haha, Master, am I awesome?"
After a brief pause, heavier breathing sounds were heard.
The patrol guard listened to the conversation in the room and his brows twitched unconsciously.
He was silent for a while, then turned around and slapped his subordinate hard on the head.
"Idiot! The guests are having a great time! What's going on?! If we barge in now, you'll really kill me!"
The subordinate was almost knocked down by the slap.
He touched his head, feeling a little aggrieved: "But I really heard someone shouting very loudly in the room just now."
"Those are the guests having fun! You're so ignorant! Some guests are having more fun than others." The patrol leader waved his hand and said to the large group of patrol guards behind him, "Disperse! Next time, don't report the slightest thing!"
Everyone responded in unison and went about their business.
Inside the house, listening to the breathing sounds outside dissipate, Lu Yunxi gradually felt relieved.
Lan Niang patted her chest, her mind gradually calmed down, and her IQ returned.
"Who are you? You should understand what I'm saying, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have thought of this solution just now," Lan Niang's eyes were filled with inquiry. "Are you someone sent by the government?"
When Lu Yunxi turned around, he saw her eyes looking straight at him like searchlights.
"...I did come in on purpose," she said, a sudden flash of inspiration leading to a good idea. A worried look appeared on her face. "A friend of mine suddenly disappeared. I investigated for a long time and found out that he had ended up in a mental hospital. That's why I came here."
Lan Niang seemed a little bit unbelievable, staring at her blankly, and after a long time she let out a deep breath: "So that's how it is..."
She lowered her head for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking about. Suddenly, she asked, "What's your friend's name? I've been locked up for quite some time, and I know a lot of people. If you trust me, you can tell me his information and I'll help you find him."
Lu Yunxi thought to himself, I finally said it out.
I've been waiting for this sentence!
"His name is Shunhai." She said the name slowly, and then described Shunhai's appearance in detail.
Lan Niang stood up suddenly, her face full of excitement: "You know my brother?!"
However, just as she said this, she shook her head and overturned this guess, "No, my brother is still in the academy, how could he come here!" But the more she listened to the person this girl said, the more it sounded like her own brother...
Lu Yunxi's eyes flashed, and he became more certain of what he was thinking.
Lan Niang is most likely Shun Hai’s sister!
*
Shun Hai was suddenly startled: "Miss Lu, why are you here?! It's too dangerous!"
He lowered his voice and looked at the people sleeping around him: "You should leave quickly. There are often people patrolling here. If you get caught later..."
"Do you know this person?" Lu Yunxi interrupted his chatter and directly opened Lan Niang's portrait.
"This!" Looking at the familiar portrait, his pupils trembled wildly. He snatched the portrait from her hand and looked at it carefully.
His eyes began to blur with tears, and the hand holding the portrait began to tremble slightly. One hand slowly stroked the face of the person in the portrait.
"This...this is my sister!" His voice became louder and louder due to excitement. As he spoke, he looked at her excitedly, "Where did you see her?!"
