Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 423 Released

Since they had managed to locate Xiu and the rest of the girls by now, Lin Mengya did not want to delay further lest they should attract the attention of Zhu Yan and the boss.

She instructed Xiu not to expose her identity and not to anyone know the fact that they knew each other.

Among the three of them, Moqin was the most downcast. However, she did not show much of her emotions. It was probably because she had already expected the outcome to be this way.

Lin Mengya stood stupefied the moment she stepped out of the door.

A calm and composed figure was standing before them.

In the same way, Hongyu and Moqin froze there and then. They had not expected the boss to be waiting for them here.

“Is she the person you are looking for?”

The boss sounded indifferent. Her voice was devoid of any kind of emotion.

However, her quiet eyes seemed to have pierced through everything.

A chill ran up Lin Mengya’s spine. At the sight of the composed-looking boss, Lin Mengya realized that the boss had seen through her plan.

She might as well admit it since she had been found out.

“Yes, she is my friend. I’ve come especially for her. I know my request may sound outrageous, but please have mercy and let my friend off.”

Desperate, Hongyu likewise stood up to shoulder the responsibility.

“Boss, I’m the one who brought Little Sister Qingge here. I’ve wanted to look for my own little sister too. Please do not blame her.”

Lin Mengya did not expect Hongyu to own up too.

As they realized that Moqin was hesitating to do the same, Lin Mengya and Hongyu shook their heads at her immediately.

It was sufficient for the two of them to shoulder this matter. Moqin should not get herself involved.

With a look of regret in her eyes, Moqin stood where she was as she drew an invisible line between herself and the two other girls.

“Do you intend to bring your friend and younger sister out of here?”

Although it appeared that the boss had been betrayed by her subordinates, he maintained his composure.

The tone of her voice was harmonious as if she was making a usual inquiry.

Lin Mengya and Hongyu, unaware of the severity of the situation, nodded to the boss’ question.

“Alright, you can bring them out.”

What?

Lin Mengya and Hongyu exchanged astonished looks.

What did the boss just agree to their request? Did she just agree to let them bring the girls out of this place?

Was, was this true?

“Zhu Yan, release those two girls. Bring them out with you. Moqin, stay behind.”

Zhu Yan, who thought what he had done had been found out, was looking very pale, but he obeyed the boss’ instructions.

However, there was something strange about the way he looked at Lin Mengya and Hongyu.

In the past, no one had gotten away so easily after deceiving the boss.

“Yes, Sir.”

Moqin’s body quivered, but just as Qingge had said that she needed to continue searching for her family member. No matter what happened, she had to regain her boss’ trust by all means.

For this reason, when she looked at Qingge and Hongyu once again, her eyes were cold and emotionless.

Hopefully, the boss would believe her.

Both Xiu and Hongyu were let out of the room. Compared to Sumei, who was shaking like a leaf, Xiu’s eyes were filled with rage as she waited for the boss and Zhu Yan.

Although she was not put through any physical punishment, what happened to her in the last few days had left her battered.

If not for Lin Mengya holding her back, Xiu would have gone up to them and bite them.

“Thank you for granting our wish, Madam. We will leave right away.”

Lin Mengya pulled Xiu towards herself and Hongyu hugged Sumei and wept. The four of them could not wait to leave this place as soon as possible.

“Wait, Miss Lin, let me give you a piece of advice.”

Shocked, Lin Mengya wondered how the owner of Huichun House knew her real name.

“Please, Sir.”

Lin Mengya gazed at the owner of the Huichun House warily as the alarm in her sounded. Perhaps she had belittled the Huichun House all along.

“I’m letting you go because this is a favor I owed to someone. Don’t ever fall into my hands again, because not everyone could be persuaded by him to let you go. I hope you treasure this kindness.”

There was some coldness in his voice.

All of a sudden, there was some degree of resentment in the eyes of the owner of Huichun House.

Lin Mengya instinctively retreated a few steps. She was rather certain that she had not offended such a person, but from what she was hearing, it seemed that it was someone whom she knew who had exchanged her freedom and soundness with a favor.

Who could that person be?

“If it was a friend who treats me sincerely, naturally I will not disappoint him. Rest assure, Sir.”

Lin Mengya stood tall and straight even when she had fallen into the hands of others. She was no pushover.

“Good. Zhu Yan, send them out.”

After a while, the owner of Huichun House had reverted to her cold, indifferent person, who would remain unmoved under any circumstances.

After throwing a suspicious glance at Zhu Yan, Lin Mengya had no other choice but to follow him as they exited.

This was strange. Who among the people she knew would be related to the people here?

Zhu Yan simply led them to the entrance of the secret passage. Thereafter, Hongyu brought Sumei and Lin Mengya brought Xiu to their respective rooms.

By now, the sky was bright. While Long Tianyu was still sleeping soundly on the bed, Lin Mengya quickly changed into man’s clothing. Finally, she had the opportunity to have a chat with Xiu about what happened in the last few days.

“Elder sister, this man is so handsome. Is he your husband?” asked Xiu curiously as she gazed curiously at the man sleeping soundly on the bed.

Lin Mengya paused for a moment then nodded silently. She reached out her delicate hand and stuffed a pill into Long Tianyu’s mouth to sober him up from the effects of alcohol.

“You are so lucky to have found such a handsome brother-in-law. Oh yes, have you seen my uncle and his companion?”

Although Xiu was still curious, after knowing that the man on the bed was her savior’s husband, she turned away from looking. She tugged at Lin Mengya’s arm and asked in a low voice.

Lin Mengya said, “No, I just arrived yesterday and did not expect things to turn out in a huge mess. Let me bring you back so we could rejoin my group of businessmen. I will ask Lord Guo to send a message to your group of businessmen and your uncle can then send someone to fetch you. What do you think?”

She and Long Tianyu had not returned for the entire night. While others might not be bothered, Baishao must be very anxious by now. Although Xiu was a daring girl, she was after all still an innocent young girl.

If Lin Mengya left her alone in Square Town, she might be abducted by evil people.

Apparently, Xiu adored her savior, Lin Mengya. Smiling, she nodded vigorously. She was more than happy with whatever arrangement Lin Mengya had in mind.

“Silly girl. You just had a close shave with death. Aren’t you afraid?”

Xiu’s brilliant smile was contagious. Lin Mengya’s melancholic mood eased considerably.

Strangely although this lass had been abducted and sold, she was still single-minded about looking for the son of the blind old lady.

Had she not just escaped from the lair of evildoers? Not only was she not wailing and weeping, but she was still smiling innocently as if nothing had happened to her.

“Why should I be wailing and weeping since I’ve escaped from that place? Moreover, what’s the use of crying even if I’m being captured again? Wouldn’t it be better for me to conserve my energy and look out for opportunities to escape?”

Lin Mengya was surprised at Xiu’s way of thinking.

Xiu was no doubt a very unique girl.

“Hm...”

Suddenly, Long Tianyu, who was on the bed, began to stir.

Lin Mengya quickly turned around. Finally, this man, who had a good night’s sleep was gradually waking up.

He reached out his big hand to touch his aching temples. He could taste the bitterness in his mouth as he tried to open his heavy eyelids. There was a look of hesitation in Long Tianyu’s eyes at that instant.

Where was this place?

“So you’re awake. Drink some water.”

As Lin Mengya recalled the way Long Tianyu looked last night, she could no longer pretend to be unperturbed.

It seemed that this man would never utter any sweet nothings, but as the saying goes, ‘wine in, truth out’. Although Lin Mengya was not a quarrelsome woman, she was keenly aware that a clear-headed Long Tianyu would never utter certain words.

As Long Tianyu took over the cup from Lin Mengya’s hand, he went into a daze gazing at her.

He had really drunk too much alcohol last night that he had completely no recollection of what happened.

Glancing around, he realized that this was not the inn.

“This place is...”

“This is a brothel. You drank too much last night and came here to seek pleasure.”

While Lin Mengya sounded unaffected, Long Tianyu was taken aback in his heart.

How was that possible? He instinctively looked down at himself immediately. After realizing that he was wearing the same clothes as the day before, he seemed to understand something.

“Alright, you simply had a night’s sleep here. Let cut the unnecessary small talk. Let’s leave this place quickly. I’m afraid we won’t be able to leave if we delay further.”

Lin Mengya rolled her eyes at Long Tianyu. She had meant this joke to be a little punishment for him.

Although he had rejected other women, he had come here on his own accord after all. She would have given him a tough time if not for his good behavior.

Nodding, he was Long Tianyu after all. Even though he had just woke up from his sleep, he was able to regain his usual state immediately.

However, it was only after a bit of moving around that Long Tianyu realized that there was another girl with them in the room.

At this moment, the girl was sitting on a chair, sizing him up with her bright eyes.

“Hello, my name is Dongfang Xiu. You may call me Xiu. My dear brother-in-law, you look like you’ve got a healthy body. Big Sister, you’re really blessed.”

Lin Mengya, who was drinking water just then almost choked on the water.

What on earth was this lass talking about?

During the day, Huichun House seemed to have lost all the buzz.

The leftover food and wine on the tables in the main hall had not been cleared away.

Could it be because of the instructions of the owner of Huichun House that when they came down from the second floor to the door, there was not a soul to be seen?

As they stepped out Huichun House, Hongyu and Lin Mengya turned to look at it with mixed feelings.

Perhaps they did not wish to see Moqin in the future ever again.

“Miss Hongyu, we shall bid our farewell here.”

Since they had come to the end of their cooperation, Lin Mengya did not want to have anything to do with Hongyu again.
