Chapter 457 Nurous Masters Gathered at One Place
“I’m rely a common woman. How am I worthy of associating with soone of such high social standing as you?”
Hongyu’s was imdiately wary. The reason she was able to survive in a place like Huichun House was because she was highly observant and was very skilled in assessing situations.
If she got sucked into the whirlpool of the plan of these people, eventually, she might not even know how she died.
“Simple. You only have to be my witness.”
As the inspector hidden behind his black coat spoke, there was disdain in his voice.
Perhaps in their eyes, people like Hongyu were like trash that they would readily sacrifice them anyti.
She should be grateful that she was even a bit useful to them today.
Hongyu certainly did not think in this way. At one glance, she could tell that these people were up to no good.
Naturally, she was aware that they wanted her dead.
On the surface, Hongyu did not dare to show her sentints.
She kept her eyes low and pretended to be submissive at least until she got through the current danger.
“I, Hongyu, am only a commoner. How would I be of any help to you, my lord?”
With her heart beating hard like a drum, Hongyu tried to offer an excuse.
However, the investigator seed determined as he commanded her, saying, “Of course you will be of use to us. In a few days, soone will bring you to another place. When you get there, you will answer the people’s questions accordingly. When you accomplish your mission, you may return to Huichun House to be the courtesan there again. You’ll be able to live a good life then. It’ll definitely be better than being a farr here.”
Hongyu found the words of the investigator repulsive.
She was rely sothing they could toy around, but what right did they have to do so? She was once a good girl until these evil people made her a prostitute and beca hated by her family. What right did these people of high status make use of her?
Perhaps, Hongyu had never experienced such sentints before.
However, after being dealt so much cruelly that she almost felt hopeless, she was just beginning to see so light at the end of the tunnel.
She had hoped that she could lead a quiet and peaceful life from now on, but these people right in front of her eyes had shattered her hope.
She could feel her rage rising and trying to break free.
Nevertheless, the pride deep inside her had cald her and she soon was able to conceive a plan.
However, all that was crossed her mind was unknown to the investigator and the burly n.
To them, she was rely a tool for them to achieve their goal.
“Looks like it’s so fantastic mission. Who will Hongyu testify for, my lord, the investigator?”
Hongyu finally lifted her head and she was wearing the most charming smile on her face.
Although her clothes were plain, she possessed the innate beauty and talent to please n with her charming smile.
To the investigator, this woman had simply straightened her ideas. Or perhaps people like Hongyu was unable to resist his offer after all.
“You’re doing the right thing. Prostitutes are generally heartless, that’s the real you. In a while, soone will tell you where you’ll be sent to. As for being the witness, soone would ask if you are Sui’s sister and you are to answer that you indeed are her sister. If soone asks who Sui is, you are to answer with certainty that it is Lin ngya.”
Lin ngya? Hongyu took a mont to recover from her daze as she rembered that Lin ngya was Princess Yu’s maiden na.
A wave of shock went through her. Were these people trying to fra Princess Yu?
No way! Princess Yu was the only person who showed kindness to her. Hongyu had done Princess Yu wrong for Sui’s sake. This ti, she would not make the sa mistake again!
However, on the surface, she had put on an awkward expression as if she had been put in a difficult position.
“My lord, you’re making things very difficult for .”
There was a bashful look in her eyes and she squeezed her hands nervously with a girlish deanor.
“You don’t dare to?”
Despite not being able to see the eyes of the investigator, his severe cold voice made the n in the room inhale in nervousness.
“No, no, no, I wouldn’t dare to defy you, but Lin ngya was such a famous character. Who would believe the words of a courtesan like ? It doesn’t really matter if people disregard , but your great plan would be upset.”
She sounded bashful and looked pitiful.
However, Hongyu found it strange that all the n in the room were staring at her.
She certainly found such interest familiar.
The strange thing was that the investigator did not seem moved. The investigator still sounded as if he found her repulsive.
Could it be that the investigator was not a man?
While Hongyu pondered over this, the investigator spoke.
“You don’t have to bother. I’ve made all the necessary arrangents. You just have to insist that Lin ngya was your lost sister. There’ll be soone else who will substantiate your statent. Alright, that’s it. You will wait here until the day breaks. Then, soone will co here to bring you over.”
When the investigator was done talking, he, clustered around by the rest of the n, left the room.
Although the n seed to look at her excitedly, it appeared that they did not dare to lay their hands on her because of the investigator.
Hongyu, whose hands and feet had been bound was beginning to feel numb and tired on her limbs. She imdiately gave the man lagging behind a pleading look and said, “Hey, brother, my hands are numb from being tied up. Would you please loosen the rope a little?”
Her coquettish voice and her pitiful mannerism had successfully attracted the attention of the burly man.
Checking that the rest had left, he chuckled and walked up to the beauty to help her loosen the rope.
Anyway, his coworkers were standing guard outside. There was no worry that this beauty would escape.
He conveniently touched Hongyu’s cheeks and realized that they were indeed soft and delicate. However, this was all he dared to do.
Hongyu moved her hands and legs to loosen them up. Suppressing her disgust towards the man, she began trying to fish out so information from him softly.
“Kind brother, thank you so much. My life was bitterly difficult. Just when I escape from one predicant, I am thrown into another. That investigator looked like he is very powerful.”
The man, who was just a hatchet man, had obviously never been shown many good graces. He began to show a look of disdain on his face.
He moved closer to Hongyu and lowered his voice as he spoke.
“Who would dare to say no? The investigator, whom no one could tell whether he is a man or woman, always orders us around whenever he cos. If it were not for our master’s instruction, I would have killed him long ago!”
Hongyu giggled shyly, but her eyes were cold and unfeeling.
This dimwitted burly man had unwittingly fed her with much information.
She leaned into the burly man’s chest and continued to pry, saying, “Even I feel that you’re the real hero. Unlike , a helpless woman, who doesn’t even know whom I’m sacrificing my life to? Forget it. It’s all because I’m fated to such a cursed life. I don’t even know if I can die in one piece this ti.”
The burly n imdiately held on tightly to the beauty in his arms. Holding a beautiful woman like Hongyu in his embrace was not even sothing he could buy with money.
Not only was this beautiful lady in his arms, but she was also delicate and gentle that it was like a dream co true. In that instant, he told her everything he knew.
“My little beauty, that stupid investigator is actually a small fry. My master said there is a yet greater master behind him who was much more powerful. Anyway, my master said that whoever works for him will one day beco a successful man. Rest assured that I will take care of you on the way!”
After he was done with talking, he took advantage of the chance to grope at her.
“Big Ox! Why are you dawdling? Get out here now!”
A loud scolding echoed in from outside and Big Ox imdiately put Hongyu down reluctantly and dashed out without further delay.
He even threw Hongyu an apologetic glance before he left.
Hongyu held her gaze on Big Ox with a tender smile on her face, but her expression turned cold the mont he was gone.
Bah! What a group of scums who treated won as toys!
As Hongyu moved her limbs, her heart was filled with anxiety.
To her surprise, they were actually after Lin ngya!
After she regained her composure, she gradually got a hold of the situation. What she needed right now was ti for her to organize her thoughts.
At this mont, Lin ngya and Long Tianyu who were hiding just outside the farmhouse did not even dare to take in deep breaths.
Their n, who were ambushed there earlier on, had co back to them with the information they gathered.
They reported back that there were n with high martial skills who were in the courtyard, so they had failed to enter the farmhouse to find out more information.
While the two of them waited patiently outside, the gates to the little courtyard suddenly opened.
A possession of people erged and was walking towards their direction.
Lin ngya instantly held her breath and hid deeper into the shade, lest they should be discovered.
Fortunately, those n soon left her line of vision.
At Lin ngya saw the n disappeared, she fell into deep thoughts.
Strangely Hongyu was not among the group of people. Could Hongyu be still inside the courtyard?
“There are altogether six n who are highly skilled in martial arts, the rest are not too bad too.”
After making sure that they could not be heard, Long Tianyu whispered into Lin ngya’s ear.
“Six highly skilled n? Didn’t our n just report back to us that there were altogether eight people who are skillful in martial arts? Now that six of them have left. Who could be the most important of them all?”
Lin ngya wondered, but she soon understood.
She had thought that they would get rid of Hongyu, but it seed that Hongyu was going to be of so use to them.
Lin ngya thought she had found her match. She had just cut the ground from under their feet, and her opponent had already thought of a strategy to counter her action.
It appeared that it would be difficult to make a profit in troubled situation now.
“Would you like to send soone to intercept those people?”
Long Tianyu asked her tentatively, but Lin ngya imdiately shook her head.
If a person needed six highly skilled n to escort him, he ought to be soone very important.
If they remained staying there, it would weaken Long Tianyu’s n whom he could mobilize.
“Allow them to follow from a distance. If they were being found out, they could flee and erase all traces. Let’s go into the courtyard to have look. I believe Hongyu is still in the courtyard.
There was a flash of intelligence that flashed across her eyes.
This ga of chess was getting more interesting!
