Tao Jiuxi knew that if he rashly rushed into that unbearable scene, Xie Yushu would fall into an even more embarrassing situation.

So she slowly raised her hand and knocked on the door twice, hoping to give the people inside some time to prepare.

At this moment, the knife in Shen Zhiyi's hand flew towards the window.

The knife flew through the air and accurately passed through the narrow gap of the window. With a "clang", it fell on the ground inside the house, making a crisp and abrupt sound.

This sound instantly broke the ambiguous atmosphere that was originally filled in the room.

Immediately afterwards, hurried footsteps and deliberately suppressed exclamations were heard from inside the house.

"Brother, what's going on?"

"How would I know?"

Tao Jiuxi knocked on the door twice again.

Shen Zhiyi seemed to have a telepathic connection with Tao Jiuxi. He raised his sword again and another flash of sword light appeared, flying into the house through the gap in the window like lightning.

In an instant, a man in the house cursed angrily: "Which son of a bitch ruined my good deeds?"

The room, originally filled with ambiguous teasing and heavy breathing, disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only the woman's painful moan still faintly echoing in the air.

"I'll kill you when I get out." Another burst of angry shouting came from the house.

A moment later, another man's voice was heard: "Brother, it might be Zhou Laowu who is here to seek revenge. I will go with you to deal with him."

Tao Jiuxi, Shen Zhiyi and Ji Qingyi were waiting quietly outside the door.

Soon, the door opened. Ji Qingyi reacted quickly, unhesitatingly kicking the man who opened the door in the chest. The two men were caught off guard, and before they could even utter a sound, they were kicked several meters away, their heads hitting the table leg. Ji Qingyi immediately stepped forward and knocked them unconscious.

"Ayi, go deal with the thugs down there." Ji Qingyi said. He knew that Shen Zhiyi was a bit of a mysophobe and guessed that he wouldn't want to touch the two men on the ground.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyi pushed the window open and jumped out.

After Shen Zhiyi left, Ji Qingyi picked up the big man who had fainted on the ground and threw him out of the window.

"Hurry up, Ayi and I will come to pick you up soon."

After saying that, he jumped out of the window lightly, leaving space for Tao Jiuxi and Xie Yushu.

They had checked the terrain before and knew that there was a dead end behind these rooms with several thugs guarding it.

When Tao Jiuxi stepped into the house, what caught his eye was Xie Yushu's panicked look. She was frantically pulling at the quilt, trying to cover her naked body tightly.

Xie Yushu raised his eyes and saw that it was Tao Jiuxi. The panic in his eyes instantly turned into deep shame. He looked as if he wanted to find a hole to crawl into, he was extremely ashamed.

Tao Jiuxi looked at the extremely embarrassed Xie Yushu, with anger and heartache intertwined in his eyes, almost bursting out.

She bit her lip hard, trying to suppress her surging emotions, and tried to make her voice sound calmer: "Yushu, put on your clothes, I'll wait for you outside, and then we'll go back together."

Xie Yushu nodded woodenly like a puppet and began to tidy up his clothes mechanically.

Tao Jiuxi had never felt that Xie Yushu was dirty, but the marks left on her by those men made it impossible for her to step forward to help. She turned around and retreated to the door with heavy steps.

At this time, Mama Liu from the brothel was slowly walking over from the outer building.

She immediately spotted Tao Jiuxi waiting at the door and quickly approached with a smile on her face, saying, "Sir, why are you waiting here? Where are the two gentlemen with you?"

Tao Jiuxi glanced at her coldly, hatred glimmering in his eyes.

"Mother Liu, I won't beat around the bush. The woman in the house is someone I know, and I'm going to take her away today. I'm giving you two choices: I pay three times the ransom she paid for her entry, or I take her away directly."

When Mama Liu heard this, the smile on her face instantly vanished, and she shrieked, "Girl, you've come to my place to see the world, and I'll let you do whatever you want. But don't think this is a place where you can run wild. You want to take someone away for triple the ransom? You're really kidding."

Tao Jiuxi frowned slightly: "Then how much do you want?"

Mother Liu smiled complacently, "I spent two hundred taels of silver to buy Narcissus. I won't ask for more than that. Twenty thousand taels of silver, not a penny less."

Tao Jiuxi sneered, "It seems we can't have a proper discussion. In this huge brothel of yours, how many girls have been registered with the government? Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the government?"

Mother Liu disagreed: "Miss, it's useless for you to threaten me with this. I, Mother Liu, have been running this brothel for thirty years and have never been afraid of anyone."

At this moment, the door opened from the inside and Xie Yushu walked out. When he saw the madam, the panic in his eyes became even more intense, and hatred spread like a surging tide.

The madam didn't want to pay any attention to her. She looked at the empty room, her expression changed drastically, and she immediately asked, "Where are the people? Where are the people you serve?"

At this moment, Shen Zhiyi and Ji Qingyi slowly walked up the stairs.

The madam saw this and asked in shock and anger, "When did you leave?"

There are many guards around Wanhua Tower to prevent the girls or guests from escaping.

She clearly saw the two men go upstairs with her own eyes. Could it be that they went down through the window and quietly took care of the guards outside the building?

Her guards were fine, but the two people serving Xie Yushu were also quite skilled. How could they disappear without a trace without her noticing?

Just as the madam was about to open her mouth to call her men, Shen Zhiyi took two steps forward, and the dagger in his hand flashed with a cold light, and was already against the madam's waist.

The cold touch made the madam freeze instantly, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

"Mother Liu, in business, harmony brings wealth, and you have to have a smile on your face." Tao Jiuxi said leisurely.

The madam was held at knifepoint, her body trembling slightly, but she could only force a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Several people walked into the house.

As soon as the madam entered the room, she fell to her knees, kowtowed profusely, and begged, "Please spare my life, my dear! Please spare my life!"

"It's still the same two options as before. Do you want to collect three times the ransom and let us go, or do you want us to just leave?" Tao Jiuxi asked again.

"Triple the ransom... triple the ransom." The madam didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and quickly gave in. She knew very well that if she didn't obey, her life would be in danger.

Ji Qingyi took a step forward, his eyes sharp as a torch: "Where is her bond?"

The madam replied timidly, "In my room. I'll get it for you."

"No need. Tell me where your house is? Where exactly is it?" Ji Qingyi said in a cold and hard tone.

The madam didn't dare to hide anything: "Three... the room on the far left of the three, inside the bed."

"You guys keep an eye on her, I'll go get it."

After Ji Qingyi finished speaking, he flashed and jumped out of the window again.
