Feng Zhi walked in front, and it was clear that she was very interested in this case.
When they arrived in front of Chunlai Building, Su Yan finally realized it was a brothel.
Su Yan turned her head to look at Feng Zhi, who was standing cluelessly at the door.
It was apparent that she had just found out as well.
It’s already dusk now, just in ti for Chunlai Building to open.
There were soft, inviting voices from the won inside,
"Co on~~"
"Why did you co so late, dear custor~~"
"I’ve missed you so much~~"
One line after another, Feng Zhi shivered listening to their sweet lingo.
She muttered incredulously,
"Is this what humans say?"
Feng Zhi probably was seeing such a scene for the first ti, watching the won dressed provocatively and speaking so loudly.
Her gaze attracted the attention of the won nearby.
The seductive lady who was swaying her waist just a mont ago, quickly rolled her eyes in disdain.
"Shoo, shoo, get far away, you’re interfering with our business."
Saying this, she waved her handkerchief to chase them away.
Feng Zhi also rolled her eyes.
"Hmph, we don’t want to stay here either."
Saying this, she turned and left.
The two of them circled around and waited outside Chunlai Building until it was dark, reaching the back of the building.
Feng Zhi whispered,
"Let’s climb over the wall and see what’s going on inside."
Su Yan glanced at her.
Due to the commotion caused during the day, Su Yan wasn’t too confident in Feng Zhi’s capability.
She felt sothing unexpected might happen.
Feng Zhi patted her arm.
"Oh, it’s fine. I’ll go first and pave the way for you; you follow quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, they heard the sound of the back gate of Chunlai Building swinging open.
Feng Zhi quickly climbed over the wall and into the backyard.
They saw two won standing at the entrance, fiddling with their handkerchiefs back and forth.
"Why hasn’t she arrived yet?"
Their voices carried impatience.
Su Yan stepped out of the shadows.
Speaking slowly,
"I’m here."
With that sound, the two won exchanged glances.
Having spent so long in this worldly place, they were indeed seasoned old-tirs.
Seeing Su Yan was holding a sword, they glanced at each other and turned to call for help.
Bam! Bam!
Su Gu delivered a knife hand strike to each of their backs.
The two won fainted.
Su Yan stepped forward and dragged them off to a nearby corner.
It was dark, making it hard to spot if one didn’t look carefully.
Just as she was about to enter from the backyard gate,
she suddenly heard footsteps.
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
Following the voices, three people were carrying a sack to the backyard door.
Su Yan stopped and turned to look.
The leader of the three smiled at Su Yan.
Upon seeing Su Yan’s face clearly, he was slightly taken aback.
"Eh? Where’s Aunt Zhao?"
Su Yan standing at the backyard door,
"Uh-huh."
She responded faintly.
Perhaps it was her calm deanor that made the leader think that they swapped personnel for the night.
The leader didn’t seem to care much; he simply said,
"Though we’re late today, Chunlai Building buying this for twenty taels is quite the bargain."
Saying that, the three placed the sack on the ground and untied its mouth.
A weak, unconscious man appeared in Su Yan’s sight.
Initially, it wasn’t supposed to concern her.
She could just brush them off and let them go.
So much so that she didn’t even get a clear look at the person inside the sack.
She said,
"Alright, got it, you may leave."
The leader wanted to say sothing more.
"Aren’t you going to check the goods?"
Su Yan replied in a calm voice,
"That’s not your concern."
Su Yan spoke sparingly, which might put her at a disadvantage when dealing with Jun Yu.
But in situations like this, it played to her strengths.
