678: Chapter 459 678: Chapter 459 The top courtesan lowered her head, and no one noticed the mocking look in her eyes.
They weren’t smart enough to find someone through her!
Tang Feiyang didn’t pay attention to the top courtesan, instructing the scholars to check the woman’s room for any secret mechanisms.
When the scholars searched through the woman’s cabinet and saw it full of her clothing, they were too embarrassed to look.
Moreover, both the top and underneath of the bed were filled with the woman’s personal items.
Although they wanted to find out if anyone was hidden, the maxim from their studies about being a gentleman led them to only perform a cursory inspection.
The top courtesan saw them turning things over incessantly, then her heart immediately tensed up when she heard that leading man talk about being direct and such.
This was their organization’s secret stronghold, how could it not have any hidden mechanisms?
The madam standing outside was also very nervous, clutching her hands tightly, truly afraid they would find the secret chamber.
The Government Officials on the floor behind them were only looking with their eyes, not daring to take the credit for Tang Feiyang’s leadership.
Tang Feiyang had the intention to inspect thoroughly, but being inexperienced and young, he led the scholars in knocking on the wood panels and stepping on the floor.
As for the wardrobe, he didn’t dare to look too much into a woman’s clothing area, and he didn’t flip the woman’s bed as well.
In the end, they found nothing and felt quite disappointed.
Tang Feiyang found it most incomprehensible; if this person was not that person, then where had the previous person gone?
“Eldest Senior Brother, we found a back door behind!”
A scholar rushed in to report!
“Let’s go and have a look!” Tang Feiyang passed by the top courtesan and the madam, scrutinizing them, thinking that the person who left through the back door could be in league with them.
The top courtesan had been swapped out, and if the madam and the top courtesan were not involved, he wouldn’t believe it.
So, the only way to find out what they were planning was to catch that person.
The top courtesan and the madam both lowered their heads, quite nervous about whether Tang Feiyang would arrest them or not.
However, with the person gone, it also meant they couldn’t find any evidence.
“Take them to the Government Office for interrogation.
We can’t let this assault go so easily!”
Tang Feiyang was speaking to those Government Officials.
“Yes,” the son of the Chief of Staff, the Eldest Senior Brother of the academy, having spoken, where would they dare not comply?
“We have been wronged, my lord, you can’t arrest us!”
The madam knew that being taken away this time would likely peel off another layer of their skin.
The task assigned by the organization had not yet been completed.
She felt a bit resentful towards the leader who had left, for not completing the task and making them suffer imprisonment unjustly.
Being replaced by someone else, although it was a person from their organization, secretly taking photos or holding grudges in their hearts, why should someone usurp her own name for their actions, and push her into the fire pit?
The top courtesan didn’t say a word, merely lowering her head, eyes filled with resentment.
She had already memorized Tang Feiyang’s face.
Her hand couldn’t help but clench tightly; since that woman failed to accomplish the task, he was hers.
She thought, if you can’t become my man, then you can only die!
As the top courtesan moved her hand when Tang Feiyang passed by her side, an insect smaller than a mosquito flew towards Tang Feiyang and went into his sleeve as he moved.
The top courtesan’s eyes revealed a sinister look, her Worm Insects had hit their mark.
The Government Officials approached and seized the top courtesan; she didn’t resist or speak, allowing them to take her to the Government Office.
Tang Feiyang was unaware that he had been infected with Worm Insects, specifically a Love Worm.
If he remained unmarried without another woman in his heart, he would be unaware, but the moment he had someone he loved, it would flare up.
Tang Feiyang followed the scholar who reported, heading to the back door of the Brothel that led into an alley connecting to another major street.
Looking down the alley from the main gate, it was eerily quiet with no one around, not to mention any carriages.
Tang Feiyang checked the road and saw some traces of carriages, all heading in one direction towards the main road, the opposite direction seemed to lead somewhere unknown, with fewer traces of travel.
“Let’s pursue…”
Tang Feiyang led a group of scholars in a hurried dash toward the direction of the main street.
After leaving through the back door, it was only a short way until they arrived on the main street.
The street, previously in disarray, had now returned to normal, bustling with carriages, people, and horse riders.
They didn’t spot any suspicious individuals, and the main street still showed signs of the chaos earlier, with goods from street vendors trampled underfoot.
The vendors were no longer there, street cleaners were working to clear and clean the streets.
Tang Feiyang stood on the street, unable to spot any questionable individuals; he knew for sure that the person had run away.
As he stood there, people around him also stopped to watch.
In the Brothel, the Government Officials he had ordered to make arrests were leading a madam and a top courtesan bound by their hands toward the main street.
The madam kept struggling, continuously claiming her innocence.
The Government Officials found her rather annoying and felt like stuffing her mouth with a smelly sock.
The top courtesan, silent, evoked sympathy from men who felt pity for her, wanting to intercede on her behalf.
Seeing Tang Feiyang and his group standing by the roadside staring at them, the Government Officials withheld their words and urged the madam and top courtesan to walk faster.
As the top courtesan passed by Tang Feiyang, she suddenly raised her head to glance at him, revealing a sinister smile at the corner of her mouth.
