The girl cried out urgently again, but she was weak and no match for the several burly men. She was about to be pushed into the brothel.
"stop!"
Just then, a loud shout rang out.
Tong Xiangyu stood at the entrance of the brothel, hands on her hips, eyes blazing with anger: "You're abducting innocent girls in broad daylight! Don't you have any sense of law or shame?!"
The thugs from the brothel were taken aback.
The leader, seeing that Tong Xiangyu didn't seem to have any martial arts skills, was about to reprimand her.
At this moment, his subordinate whispered in his ear, "This is Manager Tong of Tongfu Inn. He's a friend of Master Chen. We... we can't afford to offend him, boss!"
The subordinate's legs were trembling as he said this.
The eldest brother's expression also changed drastically.
Where there are people, there is a world of intrigue; where there is intrigue, there are casinos and brothels.
With Chen Yan's arrival, the number of martial arts figures in Qixia Town surged, and similarly, new casinos and brothels opened in Qixia Town.
This brothel is newly opened.
With Chen Yan in Qixia Town, they wouldn't dare to be too reckless and do something like snatching a girl in the street. But this girl in front of them is extremely beautiful. If they manage to get her, she will definitely become their brothel's star attraction and earn them a lot of money.
That's why he mustered up the courage to pull the girl back to the brothel, only to run into Tong Xiangyu and Zhu Wushuang who were buying groceries.
"Manager Tong, we're so sorry, it was all a moment of impulse. Please forgive us, we beg you, please don't let this matter reach Master Chen's ears..."
The thug leader bowed and scraped, and hurriedly released the girl.
The girl was quick-witted and hurriedly stood next to Tong Xiangyu and the others, which made her feel a little safer.
“I will reimburse you for whatever price you paid for her.”
Tong Xiangyu paused for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said.
She can be incredibly stingy at times, and incredibly generous at others.
Knowing that she had spent money to buy the young brothel, she couldn't let the other party suffer too much. After all, snakes have their ways and rats have their ways. She, who ran an inn, couldn't rely on Chen Yan's reputation to ruin the other party's business.
This would not only give her a reputation for being a bully who borrows power, but it would also make Chen Yan look bad.
"How could that be? You are Master Chen's friend, which means you are a friend of our brothel. How could we let you spend money? You take her away, we don't want a single penny!"
The gang leader was very good at dealing with people; he patted his chest with a pained expression.
"You yourselves didn't want the money, so don't blame me."
After saying this, Tong Xiangyu pulled the girl away quickly.
"My goodness... I just had a brush with death. I'd better keep a low profile in Qixia Town from now on. If Master Chen takes a dislike to us and razes our brothel to the ground, we'll have nowhere to cry..."
The thug leader wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his face filled with lingering fear...
……
"Girl, don't be afraid, you're safe now."
"Thank you, thank you, sisters. If you hadn't saved me, I would have... I would have..."
On the way back to Tongfu Inn, Tong Xiangyu chatted with the girl, who thanked her and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry. You're such a beautiful girl, you won't look good if you cry your eyes out."
Tong Xiangyu quickly comforted her, then asked, "By the way, what's your name? Why were you taken to a brothel?"
The girl wiped away her tears and sobbed, "I... my name is Jiang Yuyan. I'm going to Hankou to find my father. Oh, by the way, my mother told me before she died that my father's name is Jiang Biehe. He's quite famous in the martial arts world and is known as the 'Righteous Hero'."
Jiang Yuyan smiled when she mentioned her father, who was known as a "benevolent and righteous hero".
Since his father was called a "benevolent and righteous hero," he must be an unparalleled good man. (Wang Wanghao) As long as he found him, he would have a good life ahead of him.
"But...but I don't know if what my mother said is true or false. What if I go to her door and it turns out I'm not the daughter of the 'Benevolent Hero'? That would be too embarrassing..."
A look of worry returned to Jiang Yuyan's face as she murmured to herself.
"Isn't that easy to handle?"
Tong Xiangyu patted her chest and said, "If you have any questions, just ask Manager Chen. He knows everything, and he must know whether you are Jiang Biehe's biological daughter or not."
Jiang Yuyan was stunned: "Who is Manager Chen?"
"Oh, Manager Chen is the same Manager Chen that everyone talks about. We are his neighbors, so it just comes to mind when we call him Manager Chen."
Tong Xiangyu explained, then pulled her forward quickly: "Come on, as long as we ask Manager Chen, all your worries will be resolved..."
"Shopkeeper Chen, or Master Chen?"
I wonder what kind of handsome and extraordinary person he is, and what kind of supernatural powers he possesses. I've heard many rumors about him along the way..."
Jiang Yuyan's cheeks flushed slightly.
Young girls in the throes of first love are always intensely curious about handsome, strong, and powerful men, and Jiang Yuyan was no exception...
……
"Is Manager Chen here? I've brought you a guest!"
Pulling Jiang Yuyan to stand at the entrance of the fortune-telling shop, Tong Xiangyu shouted loudly.
Chen Yan lazily got up from the rocking chair, stretched, and looked at Tong Xiangyu and the girl beside her.
Chapter Ninety-Nine: Jiang Yuyan's Collapse! My Father Isn't a Hero?!
"This is……"
Chen Yan frowned slightly as he looked at the girl beside Tong Xiangyu. There were too few reference points on the girl, and he couldn't guess her exact identity for a moment.
But I'm not panicking at all.
He secretly picked up the Yin-Yang Mirror and looked at the girl.
Instantly.
The girl's information appeared on the Yin-Yang Mirror.
Name: Jiang Yuyan.
Age: Nineteen.
Identity: The illegitimate daughter of the righteous hero Jiang Biehe.
Strength: None.
Measurements: 87, 60, 88...
"It was her, the ruthless woman who killed everyone down to the point where only the names of TV dramas remained."
Chen Yan's heart stirred slightly.
I thought to myself, this woman is no ordinary person...
She appears delicate, but is actually strong and ruthless; she's a formidable character.
Just as Chen Yan was sizing up the girl.
The girl also looked at Chen Yan shyly.
In an instant, he was attracted by Chen Yan's outstanding appearance.
She's always been someone who cares about looks. In the original story, she refused to let Xiaoyuer save her, but when Hua Wuque saved her, she immediately became infatuated with his handsome appearance and fell in love with him.
At this moment, Chen Yan was far superior to Hua Wuque in both appearance and temperament, which immediately made Jiang Yuyan's eyes widen.
She just stood there blankly, her face slightly flushed, not moving an inch.
"Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang..."
Seeing her stunned expression, Tong Xiangyu waved her hand in front of her eyes.
She then came to her senses, blushed, and slightly bowed to Chen Yan: "This humble woman is Jiang Yuyan, greetings to Immortal Master Chen."
I...I want to ask Ning a question, but I don't know if it's okay..."
This girl has suddenly become so refined.
Tong Xiangyu was taken aback.
Chen Yan nodded in response to her request: "I run a fortune-telling shop, so you can ask me any questions you like."
"Just draw one condition from the wooden box, complete it, and you'll receive ten taels of silver."
Jiang Yuyan froze, her face showing embarrassment and bitterness.
She went to Hankou to find her biological father, Jiang Biehe, because she couldn't survive there, so where would she get ten taels of silver?
Seeing her predicament, Tong Xiangyu patted her chest and gritted her teeth, saying, "I'll pay her ten taels of silver!"
"Thank you! Thank you, sister. Once I find my father, I will repay you tenfold!"
Jiang Yuyan thanked her repeatedly.
Tong Xiangyu waved her hand dismissively, but when she took out the money, her face turned bitter, as if a piece of her flesh was being ripped out.
Seeing her pained expression, Chen Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "Manager Tong, we're friends, there's no need for that..."
"Don't I need to pay?"
