Chapter 419 It Turns out to Be a Trap
However, the two guards did not immediately let go.
Instead, they stared at Hongyu and Lin Mengya up and down carefully.
“The one with a veil, take off the veil.”
The man standing on the right said suddenly.
The time finally came. Lin Mengya became nervous suddenly.
Could it be that anyone, who came here, should be identified whether she was from Huichun House? Moqin had helped her put on a heavy makeup.
Nevertheless, an unfamiliar face could still alert others.
“Are you newcomers? These are the fair ladies I found, and they are for the most distinguished guests. Who do you think you are?”
Moqin raised her eyebrows and shouted coldly.
All three of them pretended to be calm. In case they were discovered, it would be impossible to run away.
Lin Mengya had figured it out. Building a dark room and a fake yard here, the owner behind this Huichun House was quite alert.
If they got into any trouble now, it would be impossible for them to escape from this yard!
“We are not being hard on you. We’ve been instructed by master to check it out before letting anyone go.”
The person standing on the left said suddenly.
Moqin had been a little rude to the two men indeed, but they remained emotionally stable.
They just stared at Lin Mengya coldly.
Clenching her fists, Lin Mengya had to take a risk.
Fortunately, she was still a girl in this body. If she claimed to be a newcomer, she could probably deceive them.
Moqin intended to continue arguing, but Lin Mengya was sensitively aware of the murderous intent gradually exuded from the eyes of the two men.
She immediately stopped Moqin and pretended to talk in an immature voice.
“Sister Moqin, why bother being hard on these two brothers. We can’t get in now anyway. I’ll just show them my face.”
Moqin looked back, with a little astonishment in her eyes.
Even Hongyu looked at Lin Mengya with puzzlement in her eyes. Was the girl crazy?
For fear of arousing the two men’s suspicion, Lin Mengya immediately took off the veil. In an instant, this pure face with somewhat exotic charm was showed in front of the two guards.
Both the two men stared at Lin Mengya’s face. With a soft smile, she tried to recall how Hongyu and Ziyun made their gaze more charming.
However, she, who did this for the first time, acted as if there was a cramp in her eyes. She originally intended to show her kindness, but turned out to look impatient.
After looking at her for a while, the two guards pushed the door and let the three of them in.
“Thanks.”
Managing to muddle through, Lin Mengya put on the veil immediately.
Unexpectedly, the guards were so strict on examination. Just now, she felt her heart had almost popped out of her throat.
“Huh, that was close. Fortunately, the two of them must have been mostly convinced by the clothes on you.”
Hongyu patted her chest and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.
As soon as they came in, the door was shut again.
This was an extremely spacious room, and should be a small reception room. However, both the wool carpet on the ground and those extremely tasteful furnishing were indicative of the owner’s extraordinary taste.
Lin Mengya, who had seen the room covered with gold and jade outside, naturally would not show a money-obsessed look.
However, Moqin, who looked laden with worry, didn’t lead them in.
“We’ve got here. Sister Moqin, do you have any concerns?”
Although it hadn’t been long since Lin Mengya got acquainted with Moqin, Lin Mengya considered Moqin a person with a clear idea of love and hatred.
Finally, after mentally struggling for a while, Moqin seemed to collapse, shook her head and said to Lin Mengya.
“You shouldn’t come here. Although I don’t know your identity, your appearance will get you into a big trouble.”
With alertness soaring in her heart, Lin Mengya really didn’t know what Moqin meant.
“Why do you think I bring you here? In fact, I do it in exchange for a person. The owner of the house once gave all our flower crowns a portrait, and said that we must find the person in the portrait. Don’t blame me. Blame your appearance, because you look so much like the person in the portrait.”
She was trapped!
Lin Mengya suddenly calmed down.
She didn’t know if she was influenced by Lin Mengya’s original simple personality. She had always believed in the principle that human nature was evil.
But this time, she believed Moqin so easily, which didn’t conform to her previous character.
“What are you going to do? Moqin, I beg you. Don’t implicate Qingge in this. She is innocent. All of this is because I want to save my sister!”
Hongyu suddenly panicked, holding Moqin’s hand and begging in a low voice.
“Stop pretending to be ignorant. Didn’t the owner give you that portrait? Don’t tell me that you came here with me just in order to save your sister. Since you worked in Huichun House, you’ve been looking for the girl in the painting as well, haven’t you?”
Another thunderclap made Lin Mengya suddenly feel a bit discouraged.
She had never considered herself a person who would easily harm others. Unexpectedly, she was trapped twice in a row, and put herself in such a dangerous situation.
“I want to…”
Seeing the increasing coldness on Lin Mengya’s face, Hongyu explained nervously.
“What do you want? Were it not for getting your sister back, would you have worked in various brothels of the owner for so many years? Don’t forget that three years ago, you’ve become a famous gorgeous prostitute in the Jin State. Humph, now you shouldn’t have been willing to stay here and be bullied by the girl Ziyun!”
Moqin must frown upon that Hongyu kept pretending to be innocent till now, so she talked in a slightly aggressive tone.
Seeing Hongyu trembling and biting her lip without looking at her eyes, Lin Mengya instantly understood all the causes and consequences.
It was no wonder that she met two allies in Huichun House so easily.
It turned out that all of these were part of the plan.
“Yes, I confess that since miss Qingge set foot in Square Town, all of us, who have seen the portrait, have exhausted our wits to make her come to the house. But, I really don’t want to hurt her. I will take Qingge away. Moqin, please, help me.”
Hongyu begged Moqin with tears. Regardless of how sincere her tears were, in Lin Mengya’s eyes, they were no better than a crocodile’s tears, sham and hypocritical.
“Enough, stop doing that. Since she has come here, that’s her destiny. Qingge, listen, this is my last advice to you. The people here are not humans. They are all demons. If you want to survive, protect yourself and try to escape after finding your friend.”
Moqin forced herself to remove the last bit reluctance in her eyes, and then turned around and walked inside without further ado.
Although Lin Mengya knew that she might not be able to escape today, she must rescue Xiu. Therefore, no matter it was a mountain of swords or a sea of flames in front of her, she had to break through it.
“After getting my sister back, I will definitely get you out, even at the risk of my life.”
Behind her, there came Hongyu’s firm but weak voice.
After pausing for a moment, Lin Mengya did not say anything.
Maybe she would forgive Hongyu in the future, but now, she couldn’t do it.
After she bypassed the big house, peals of loud noise gradually came into her ears.
The fragrance of various face powder, as well as the unpleasant scents of powder of five minerals and poppy, made Lin Mengya look a little solemn.
As soon as she walked over, she saw scantily clad ladies singing and dancing in a large hall.
The ground was covered with woolen cushions, and the temperature in the room was extremely high. Those men, sitting or lying on the ground, were only dressed in unlined clothes.
However, they all wore various masks on their faces.
These men were all surrounded by various scantily clad beauties.
Fortunately, before Lin Mengya came in, she had regarded them as the moving illustrations in textbooks.
As a surgeon, it was not difficult for her to treat them as teaching tools for anatomy.
In the central nervous system, the Shen Nung system was operating normally. The scents here made the Shen Nung system keep warning her and trying to contact the police.
Lin Mengya was a little helpless about this. Unexpectedly, the Shen Nung system could even connect with the police station.
The problem was that with no WIFI here, even if it called the police, the police couldn’t find the way here.
Moqin and Hongyu did not choose to reveal her identity.
Instead, she was allowed to wear her mask. After passing the hall, the three of them went up the stairs and directly went to a room on the second floor.
Compared with other places, the air here was much cleaner. At least, the pungent scent of face powder was less strong.
Moqin hesitated for a while, but still knocked on the door. Soon, there came a slightly immature voice from inside.
“Who is out there?”
Lin Mengya was a little surprised, because it sounded like a teenage boy.
Could it be that the owner of Huichun House turned out to be an underage boy? But obviously even if the boy was not the owner, he had a high status.
Moqin, who had always been arrogant, replied in a respectful tone.
“It’s Moqin and Hongyu from outside. May I ask Master Zhu Yan, does the owner have time to meet us?”
Master Zhu Yan? Lin Mengya was a little curious. A little boy could actually make someone arrogant like Moqin show great respect.
Who was this owner exactly?
It fell silent for a moment, presumably because Zhu Yan was asking the owner. The three of them stood at the door with different thoughts.
It took about a few minutes before a voice came out from inside.
“Come in.”
