Chapter 202: Chapter 117 How is this possible, what sacred being is Chen 94 (10,000 characters requesting subscription) Chapter 202: Chapter 117 How is this possible, what sacred being is Chen 94 (10,000 characters requesting subscription) Outside the house, two constables pressed a beggar to his knees on the ground.
This beggar was dressed differently from the others, his clothes tattered but clean, unlike someone who scrambled and toiled in filthy labor on the streets.
Chen Jie cast a glance at him and asked, “Do you know where Ruirui has been taken?”
Upon seeing Chen Jie, the beggar shuddered, having witnessed this fierce man just kill Feng Si.
Since he dared to kill even Feng Si, they were surely not going to end well.
Once this man emerged from the house, confirming he wouldn’t find his sister’s whereabouts, he figured all their heads would likely roll.
As for Chen Jiusi’s ruthlessness, their doubts had vanished the moment they saw Feng Si’s head part from his body.
He didn’t want to die and thus spoke outright,
“I know, I’m the one who took her away.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie asked, “Where did you send her?”
“Can it earn me my life back?”
Seeing Chen Jie inquiring, the man immediately voiced his inner thoughts.
Hearing this, Chen Jie replied, “Do you think you’re in a position to bargain with me?”
The man said, “I didn’t mean to do evil; it was all Feng Si forcing me.
Please spare me a way to live, Grandpa Chen!”
Chen Jie stated, “I won’t kill you.”
“Thank you, Grandpa Chen, for your great kindness and mercy!
Thank you for your great kindness and mercy!”
Chen Jie then said, “Can you now tell me where the person was sent?”
“Yihong House.”
“Where?”
“Yihong House!” the man repeated, and Chen Jie’s brow furrowed deeply, immediately asking, “Yihong House?!”
“That’s right, it’s Yihong House.
It was Fourth Master, not Feng Si himself, who ordered it.
It happened soon after you arrived; she should only just have reached Yihong House by now!”
Chen Jie’s expression turned grim.
Although he had only arrived in Mianshui County not long ago, Chen Jie was aware of some places in Mianshui County Town one shouldn’t provoke lightly.
Apart from the two major guilds, Yihong House was a place that required special attention, notoriously difficult to deal with.
Don’t let its facade of merely selling smiles fool you; its backer was hard as iron, including one of its shareholders being the County Magistrate of Mianshui County.
He was the third person in the entire Mianshui County capable of riding a carriage pulled by two horses.
This was the power out in the open, while behind the scenes, Yihong House also boasted an enforcer, none other than one of the Thirteen Grand Protectors, Red Face.
This mysterious Red Face, also an Energy Transformation Master, was stationed at Yihong House, rarely taking action, but when she did, her strikes were as swift as thunderbolts.
With Ruirui taken to Yihong House, a rescue would mean getting past both the County Magistrate and Red Face.
For Chen Jie, who had a lower status and influence compared to these two formidable figures, rescuing Ruirui seemed an imposing challenge.
With this in mind, Chen Jie became silent, realizing the malicious intent of Feng Si, because, since its establishment, Yihong House had not seen a single successful case of redemption in nearly twenty years; to enter Yihong House meant a life deprived of the light of day!
“Jiu Si, we need to think this through carefully, Yihong House’s connections are far-reaching; we can’t act recklessly!”
Even Wu Hong, who loathed evil fervently, found the matter thorny and advised Chen Jie to proceed with caution.
Chen Jie responded, “I understand.”
After that, Chen Jie said, “This man is now Brother Hong’s responsibility.
I will kill the rest!”
“Jiu Si, there are laws!”
Chen Jie replied, “Scum don’t deserve the protection of law.”
Wu Hong wanted to say something else, but Chen Jie commanded, “Brothers, kill them.
Not a single scum must be spared!”
At these words, a murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the Fishing Guild brethren, already enraged by the group’s unspeakable acts; they unsheathed their swords and began slaying the disciples of the Beggar Sect in the courtyard.
No mercy was shown.
Those who trampled on humanity didn’t deserve to live.
In a fit of rage, Chen Jie was about to have dozens of full heads rolled to the ground.
The remaining few beggars, spared by the constables, were trembling all over in fear.
These men Chen Jie hadn’t slain, as Wu Hong needed to show achievement, not just quell his anger, ensuring his brothers had a clear account to give.
As for his sworn brothers, Chen Jie was well aware of what needed to be done.
Chen Jie then turned to Zhou Chu inside the door and said, “Old Zhou.”
“Yes, Jiu Si?”
As Zhou Chu answered, Chen Jie instructed, “Leave the aftermath here to you, I’m off to Yihong House!”
“Jiu Si, wait, I’ll come with you.”
Chen Jie replied, “No need, I’m not going to start a fight.
Just sort it out here.”
Having said that, Chen Jie, with his long spear in hand, left the courtyard.
Seeing this, Zhou Chu waved his hand, signaling six Fishing Guild underlings to follow Chen Jie.
He then immediately dispatched two teams; one dashed toward the Shunfeng Escort Agency.
Zhou Chu knew Chen Jie was going to Yihong House to demand a person, but how could he manage alone?
He immediately sent someone to seek the help of his father-in-law Sun Bu’er.
Old Master Sun Bu’er might not have Energy Transformation, but as the owner of an escort agency, he was well-connected.
In the Jianghu, he held influence that even Yihong House had to treat with considerable respect!
If the old master went to mediate, perhaps he could help Chen Jie recover what was lost.
The second team was sent to notify Peng Shizhong, letting him be aware of the situation.
If push came to shove, Peng Shizhong’s influence might just be effective.
Both teams were dispatched immediately.
…
Meanwhile, in the backyard of Yihong House, the Housekeeper was scrutinizing a newly acquired batch of girls.
Their ages varied, some slightly older around eleven or twelve years old, who could start entertaining customers after some minor grooming over the next year or two.
There was also a group of younger girls, who with some nurturing and development, held even greater potential.
These younger ones were selected with care by the housekeeper in the Yihong House – only those with immense potential were chosen.
And those qualified to be housekeepers were of the first rank in recognizing potential—they had the knack to “see the old in the young,” able to predict whether a girl of four or five would develop into a beauty and whether she held the potential to be cultivated.
What do you think?
