The prince is very cruel

After all, here, human life is cheaper than grass, especially women, who are equivalent to tools.

Another round of waiting, and the waiter came again.

There were not many women brought this time, only ten. They were relatively older, but only around thirty years old. Some of them had scars on their faces and came in tears, obviously being forced.

Guan Ning took a quick look and was disappointed. There was still nothing.

"Master Hua, look at this..." the waiter asked tentatively.

Guan Ning shook his head, and Hua Wuque followed suit.

"This..." The waiter was completely stumped. Where else could he find this? He could only catch it now.

"Let me ask you, is there anyone here named Zhu Yu?" Guan Ning could only give the name.

The waiter was startled and exclaimed, "Are you talking about her?"

"This...this won't do."

Guan Ning's eyes lit up. Judging from his reaction, the person is still there!

"Why not?"

"My Lords, this woman belongs to my young master. She was thrown here because she was disobedient. But no one else is allowed to get their hands on her unless there is an order from the Little Guardian..."

"So..." The waiter declined politely. He would rather offend Hua Wuque than offend his own little bodyguard.

"Even my master can't do it?"

"My master and your young master are friends!" Guan Ning exerted pressure.

The waiter still shook his head: "No!"

"If you gentlemen want to play, other women are fine, but not her!"

Seeing this, Guan Ning knew that if he continued to force it, it would be counterproductive, so he said, "Okay, then bring some wine and food."

"Yes!" The waiter took his men away as if he had been pardoned.

In the side room, the two were in trouble.

"I told you, it's not that easy to rescue people here, and I'm not as powerful as you think. Let's go!" Hua Wuque spoke, taking the opportunity to back down.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!" Lou Xinyue said coldly.

Hua Wuque didn't dare to speak anymore.

Guan Ning said at this time: "You watch him here, I will find a way to go out and look for him."

Lou Xinyue frowned, but this was indeed the only way: "Then be careful."

Guan Ning nodded and left quickly.

When I arrived at the corridor on the second floor, the pungent smell of wine, meat and rouge mixed together made my nose feel a little uncomfortable, and all kinds of lewd sounds came to my ears.

It is no exaggeration to describe this place as a place of drunkenness and dreams, with demons dancing wildly.

Guan Ning avoided everyone and searched room by room, from south to north, but without exception, there was no trace of Zhu Yu.

After searching in vain, he had no choice but to take a risk and set his sights on other heavily guarded places.

Just as he was about to climb to the third floor, suddenly, a hand was placed on his back without any warning.

Guan Ning was startled and turned around almost reflexively, grabbing the opponent's throat. He did it in one go. With just a thought, he was able to prevent the opponent from having a chance to open his mouth or attack.

"Sir!" the man exclaimed.

Guan Ning was stunned: "It's you."

He was a little surprised, because the person behind him was none other than the woman he had rescued by the river not long ago!

"It's me, it's me." The woman was having difficulty breathing and was obviously frightened.

Guan Ning relaxed his strength a little, pushed the man into a small room, and asked coldly: "What did you see just now?"

The woman was able to breathe, her willow-shaped eyebrows showing fear, and she said, "Master, don't worry, I won't tell you anything."

"You just saved me. I'm not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity."

Guan Ning frowned, stared at her for a long time, and finally slowly let go.

"Why are you here?"

The woman was embarrassed: "Sir, I'm from here. I was just out looking for my cat, but was captured by those people."

"Then why didn't you take the opportunity to escape? Come back?" Guan Ning didn't understand.

The woman smiled bitterly: "Sir, where can you escape to?"

"Their people are everywhere up and down the Fengdu River. There's no way anyone can escape. No matter how far they run, they'll be caught. And if they're caught... they'll be thrown back into the Fengdu River to feed the fish."

Guan Ning didn't know what to say.

"Forget what happened just now. You didn't see anything."

After saying this, he wanted to leave, not wanting to embarrass an already pitiful woman.

"Wait, sir!" the woman suddenly called out, taking the initiative to say, "I see you seem to be looking for someone. I've been here for two years and I'm very familiar with the place. Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help you."

Guan Ning was stunned for a moment, yes!

He turned to look at the woman and asked, "Do you know a woman named Zhu Yu?"

"You mean her?" the woman was surprised.

Guan Ning was overjoyed and grabbed the woman's wrist: "Where is she?"

The woman said, "She's not here. She's locked up in the backyard."

"Can you take me there?" Guan Ning asked.

"This..." The woman was obviously a little scared and lowered her head.

Guan Ning said seriously: "If you help me find that person, I can rescue you and get you out of Fengdu River safely."

The woman was slightly delighted when she heard this, but she quickly hesitated and struggled.

She had been here for a long time and was very familiar with the methods of the Changsun family. She didn't dare to think of escaping at all, but for some reason she had an inexplicable sense of trust in the mysterious Guan Ning, whom she had just met.

When she saw Guan Ning's clear and deep eyes, which gave her a sense of trust, she was somewhat possessed: "Okay... okay."

Guan Ning was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the woman he casually saved would return the favor so soon. It was really a blessing from God!

"How to go?"

"Young Master, follow me." The woman took a deep breath.

The two of them left the small room one after the other, and after carefully checking that there was no one there, they walked around the corridor.

During this time, the woman was very scared. In order to divert her attention and avoid being discovered, Guan Ning took the initiative to ask, "What's your name?"

"My name is Linglong, Song Linglong."

"Linglong? What a nice name." Guan Ning said.

"Where's the young master?"

Guan Ning smiled and said, "Guan Ning."

The woman silently memorized it, then tilted her head to look at him, her long eyelashes tinged with curiosity. "I think Master Guan is only in his early twenties this year. His accent doesn't sound like that of people here."

"I'm indeed not from here. I'm twenty-three this year," Guan Ning said.

Song Linglong nodded and wanted to say something.

Suddenly Guan Ning's face changed and he stopped: "Miss Song, I'm sorry!"

After saying that, he hugged Song Linglong and pushed her against the wall, with his head almost buried in her collarbone.

Song Linglong was completely unable to react. When she came to her senses, she saw several people who looked like Xiangfengtang thugs coming out from the corner in front of her.

Song Linglong reacted quickly and cooperated with Guan Ning.

As the other party got closer, Song Linglong trembled inexplicably.

"Don't be afraid." Guan Ning's voice was very low.

As the footsteps got closer, those thug-like figures just laughed, as if they were used to it. They didn't even bother to question them and just left.

After making sure that the person had gone far away, Guan Ning raised his head to take a look, then quickly let go and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Miss Linglong."

The magnetic voice made Song Linglong lose her mind for a moment. It was the first time she met a man who was so polite and respectful to her.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes dodged for some reason: "No, it's okay."
