"Who is it!" Liu Sandao asked. It was too late for Old Jia to be so kind as to bring him boiled water.
There was no answer from outside the door. After a moment of silence, there was another "Dang dang dang!"
"Who?"
Liu Sandao got up, asking as he opened the door.
A woman stood outside.
"The boss sent me to bring water!"
"I don't need any water, you can leave!"
Liu Sandao refused immediately.
He really didn't expect Old Jia to send water, let alone send a woman to deliver it.
"Ah! Don't, don't, don't!"
The woman said, trembling, and put a hand on Liu Sandao's door.
Liu Sandao originally intended to use a little force, but then he thought that she was delivering water with good intentions, and he shouldn't hurt her just because he didn't want the water, so he casually closed the door.
Unexpectedly, as he closed it, the woman stumbled and almost spilled the water she was holding.
With this up and down motion, she actually stumbled into the room.
"Hey, are you okay!"
Liu Sandao asked when he saw the situation.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!"
The woman said, closing Liu Sandao's door as she spoke.
"You..."
Liu Sandao was about to speak when the woman interrupted him.
"Do you need any special services?"
The woman asked in a low voice.
"What special services?" Liu Sandao was a bit confused.
He had been staying at the Good Luck Inn for several days and hadn't encountered any other services here. Old Jia, that old man, couldn't even be bothered to add anything to this room, and now he was offering special services so kindly.
"That is, that is..." the woman said, and immediately grabbed Liu Sandao's hand.
Liu Sandao quickly shook off her hand and reprimanded her sternly, "What are you doing!"
"No, no, no, I beg you, don't kick me out. Even if you don't need it, let me stay for a few more minutes, otherwise..."
As the woman spoke, she actually knelt down, tears and snot streaming down her face.
This completely bewildered Liu Sandao.
"Okay, okay, get up quickly, tell me what's going on?"
Liu Sandao said as he prepared to help her up.
The woman was about thirty years old. She wasn't stunningly beautiful, but with a little makeup, she was quite presentable.
From what she said, she was originally coming to Wukui City to work, but she was brought here by a middleman by accident.
There were people specifically watching them, and if they didn't earn enough money, they wouldn't be able to leave.
Liu Sandao never expected that Old Jia would engage in such activities.
But he soon realized that there must be something fishy about Old Jia doing this.
Although Old Jia was just the owner of a small inn, he had seen all sorts of people and was naturally quite worldly.
Knowing that he had a girlfriend, why would he deliberately arrange for someone to come?
While listening to the woman ramble on about her background and predicament, Liu Sandao used his divine sense to check on Bai Su Xiang's situation.
In the past, he wouldn't casually probe into a woman's room, especially at this hour.
But now, he dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Bai Su Xiang was lying on the bed at some point, and Qian Shu Mei was nowhere to be found.
At this moment, the sound of bathing could be heard from the bathroom.
Liu Sandao instinctively averted his gaze. It would be truly awkward if he accidentally saw something he shouldn't. Sudancn.com
"Hey! Hey! Boss, boss!"
As soon as he heard the voice, Liu Sandao immediately withdrew his divine sense. The woman was holding his hand and calling him.
Liu Sandao immediately shook off her hand, "What is it?"
"I haven't had my first customer today yet, you must..."
Liu Sandao couldn't afford to worry about so much. With a flick of his hand, she fainted.
He didn't know what Old Jia was up to, but Liu Sandao had to ensure Bai Su Xiang's safety. To be honest, she had suffered quite a bit of grievance on this trip.
Just as the woman inside was speaking, he heard Old Jia and Qian Shu Mei talking.
"Hey! Are you asleep? Will this work?"
"Don't worry, 'Shh!' How are things on your end?"
"'Heh heh heh!' You know how men are, always looking at the pot while eating from the bowl!"
Then came the sound of carefully closing the door.
"Creak!"
The door to the gatehouse had been opened by Liu Sandao several times in the past two days. No matter how careful you were, it would always creak.
Because he was worried about Bai Su Xiang, Liu Sandao had to knock the woman out. At this moment, he understood that regardless of whether this woman was telling the truth or not.
Her sole purpose in coming here was to stall Liu Sandao.
Liu Sandao didn't care about the unspeakable deeds happening in this brightly lit inn; all he cared about was Bai Su Xiang's safety.
Qian Shu Mei was not in the room, so who would be bathing?
In Bai Su Xiang's room, only the bedside lamp was on.
The ashtray in front of the television had already been moved to the bedside.
At this moment, Bai Su Xiang had already lost consciousness.
Her clothes, though not removed, were somewhat disheveled.
A man stood beside her, a cigarette in his mouth, just having lit it.
Liu Sandao was already standing in a corner of the room. The man had no idea that someone was in the darkness.
"Beauty, you can't escape my grasp in the end!"
He said, patting his belly.
It turned out to be the owner of the card room. His presence here was definitely related to Qian Shu Mei.
"You can't blame me this time. If you have to blame anyone, blame Qian Shu Mei. She sold you to me.
If you have any questions, ask her yourself tomorrow..."
Liu Sandao was furious upon hearing his words.
As the saying goes, the pitiful have their hateful aspects, and it is true.
Qian Shu Mei lost money, but she set her sights on Bai Su Xiang, and the card room owner took the opportunity to take advantage of her by lending her money to get back on her feet.
If such a person needed good deeds, it would be better to throw away the good deeds!
The cigarette was finished, and the card room owner was about to take off Bai Su Xiang's clothes.
"Sizzling!"
The bedside lamp made a sound, and the light went out.
"Damn it, this light went out too fast, I haven't even... But this is fine too, you don't need light for this kind of thing!"
At this moment, not only the lights in this room went out, but the entire Good Luck Inn plunged into darkness.
"Holy crap, what happened? Why is there a power outage!"
"Boss, what's going on with the power outage!"
"I'll go check, I'll go check!"
It was Old Jia's voice. It was precisely when making money was most important, and a power outage was not a good thing.
Old Jia rushed out of the gatehouse with a flashlight to check the circuit breaker.
Power outages were rare here. Even if the city had a power outage, they would be notified in advance. This had only happened once in recent years.
"Is it fixed yet? We still have no power in our room. What kind of inn are you running!"
Someone shouted impatiently.
"Okay, okay! It turns out the breaker tripped!"
Old Jia said with a sigh of relief.
"Stop! Don't move! Nobody move!" a voice said, and a figure stood at the main entrance.
