"Sir! Sir! Don't slap me in the face!" There was a noise outside the door.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

The tall man grabbed the collar of the shrinking man beside him, and they both looked over.

"Prince!" Xie Er said respectfully.

Xie Jin looked at Li Yi deeply, then turned sideways and motioned them to come in.

Li Yi, who felt frightened by Xie Jin's look: "..." Has he offended him before?

Xie Jin closed the door, went to sit on the chair by the window, slowly put his right ankle on his left knee, put his left hand idly on the armrest, and leaned his right knee against the stained glass window, looking out the window with his cheek loosely supported by his hand.

During this time, Xie Jin turned his head once, looked Li Yi's face up and down, left and right, sneered, and turned his head back.

Li Yi, who was inexplicably disliked: "..." Who did he offend?
Xie Jin said lazily: "Do it!"

Before Li Yi could come to his senses, gusts of punches landed on him.

"Ouch," Li Yi grimaced in pain: "Ouch..." While being beaten, he did not forget to protect his face.

Xie Jin looked back at Li Yi who was screaming miserably, frowned, then turned his head away and said calmly: "Try harder."

Xie Er paused, then swung out with all his might, punching the man to death.

If Li Yi's wailing just now was half true and half false, then this time it was 100% true.

"What you are doing is abusing lynching! You are disregarding the law!" Li Yi screamed in pain.

The only response he got was a fist in close contact with him.

"If you hurt me, you won't be able to save anyone!"

Xie Jin glanced over and Xie Er quickly stopped his hand.

Xie Jin stood up and walked in front of Li Yi, looking down at him.

Li Yi raised his face, which was intact because of his own protection, tremblingly: "I'll tell you anything, just don't hit me!"

Xie Jin neither nodded nor shook his head, but Xie Er's fist did not fall again.

Li Yi knew that this man, who was obviously not a simple person, had agreed to his request. He looked at him cautiously and asked with a trembling heart: "I want to wash my face."

Xie Jin stared at Li Yi steadily, the emotion in his eyes becoming more and more intense. Just when Li Yi was about to give up, Xie Jin spoke: "Okay."

Li Yi's tense scalp finally relaxed. He stood up, not caring about the footprints on his body, and walked over to sit on the chair. He did not forget to order Xie Er: "Why don't you go and get me a basin of water?"

Xie Er didn't move.

"Tsk," Li Yi winked, "You dare not even listen to your master?" After saying that, he immediately turned around and looked at Xie Jin with a flattering smile, "Really?"

Xie Jin said calmly: "Go and bring a basin of water."

Xie Er clasped his fists and said, “Yes!”

Li Yi looked at Xie Er's back and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right."

After Xie Er went out, Li Yi stole a glance at Xie Jin. He no longer dared to be so nonchalant as before. He immediately straightened his legs and hands and sat upright.

Fortunately, Xie Er acted quickly, and in less than a moment, a basin of clear water was brought in.

Without waiting for Xie Er to bring it to Li Yi, he jumped up and ran straight to Xie Er as if relieved from a heavy burden.

Following Xie Er's posture of holding the basin, he scooped up the water with both hands and splashed it on his face twice.

The dirty face revealed its original skin color, and he turned from a beggar into a handsome scholar.

Xie Jin's eyes fell on Li Yi's face.

Li Yi touched his face. Was it his illusion? Why did he feel that this man with a noble identity seemed to be unhappy with his face?

Alas, being good-looking makes people jealous.

"Are you satisfied?" Xie Jin asked.

"Ah?" Li Yi didn't react for a moment, then he saw Xie Jin's increasingly gloomy expression and nodded vigorously: "Satisfied, satisfied."

Li Yi was a man who knew when to stop. He knew in his heart that Xie Jin might not like him very much, so he tactfully did not approach him. He just stood there and said, "The bank is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack..."

There was no expression on Xie Jin's face, and it was obvious that he was aware of the situation.

Li Yi paused and continued, "Although that place is difficult to attack, no matter how well-drilled a hole is, there will always be gaps."

Li Yi showed a proud expression on his face: "As long as I get some wind, I can follow the wind to find the gap."

"Get to the point!" Xie Jin emphasized.

The smugness on Li Yi's face disappeared instantly. He stopped bragging and said honestly, "The key point is that bank. There are people guarding every corner, except for one place, the toilet."

"Their toilet is at the innermost part of the village, which is the farthest from their residence and of course the place with the fewest people."

"I've checked their background. There are two people guarding the toilet, but they often leave their post without permission because of the stench from the toilet."

"Two people guarding the place is nothing to me, but the problem is that once their people find outsiders, they will immediately blow the whistle to notify others. At that time, even if we grow wings, we can't escape."

Li Yi came to the chair and sat down, picked up an apple from the table beside him, wiped it on his clothes casually twice, put it to his mouth and took a bite.

"Click." The sound was very crisp.

"Oh, by the way, the kidnappers also built a pool there that is as long as the outer wall of the manor house and about four meters wide."

"Snake Pond." Li Yi said slowly while biting an apple. "If you get bitten by that thing, whether you survive or not depends on fate."

Xie Jin frowned tightly.

After a moment, "Come with me to rescue people tonight at 11:00 p.m." Xie Jin said.

"Prince!" Xie Er said anxiously, "I will follow you."

After listening to the conversation between the master and servant, Li Yi realized that something was wrong. He raised his head and pointed at himself cautiously: "Me?"

"Xie Er, you stay outside the manor and provide support," Xie Jin did not give Xie Er a chance to speak: "This is an order!"

Li Yi took advantage of the gap when they didn't notice him, tiptoed to the door, moved step by step, crouched down, and carefully stretched his fingertips towards the door frame.

But before his fingertips touched the door frame, a loud "clang" sound came into Li Yi's ears. It was the sound of a sword leaving its sheath.

Li Yi turned around with a smile and said, "Oh, why is this door frame dirty?" As he said that, he grabbed his sleeve and wiped the "dirty" part.

After wiping it, he immediately ran to Xie Jin to express his sincerity: "Sir, it is my honor to serve you!"

"Sir, please wait for me to go home and get a handy weapon." Before he could finish his words, a sword appeared in front of him.

Looking at this familiar "guy", Li Yi's smile almost disappeared, and he reached out to take the sword: "Sir, you are very thoughtful."

On the other side, Zhao Shu woke up while rubbing her temple. The first thing that caught her eyes was a gauze curtain. Her head was dizzy and she felt weak all over.

Zhao Shu gritted her teeth and tried to move her wrists and ankles. She found that she was not tied up by hemp ropes, and she couldn't help but feel happy.

Her body felt soft, and Zhao Shu gritted her teeth and tried to turn over.

His hands lay limp on the bed, and he stretched out his index finger with difficulty, reaching for the gauze curtain little by little.

The distance gradually narrowed, and the moment Zhao Shu reached the gauze curtain, she was gasping for breath from exhaustion.

Zhao Shu gasped for breath, and after she had caught her breath, she struggled to hook a corner of the gauze curtain with her index finger and opened a gap.

The whole room was filled with luxurious porcelain, and there were also several pots of peonies. Zhao Shu took a general look at the furnishings in the room and only thought of one word: "Expensive!"

This room clearly displays its wealth.

Zhao Shu lowered the gauze curtain with her index finger, lay flat on the bed, and stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. She immediately closed her eyes when she heard a noise outside the door.

"We got a lot of good stuff into our house this time. I'm afraid Boss Qian will be overjoyed when he comes back."

"Well, only when Boss Qian is happy can we live a good life."

The footsteps faded away, and Zhao Shu opened her eyes thoughtfully.

The door was pushed open and two middle-aged women walked in.

The gauze curtain was pulled open, and light shone in. Beside the bed, a strong woman reached out and grabbed Zhao Shu's arm and pulled her up.

Zhao Shu had no strength at all and could only let her pull.

After the woman pushed Zhao Shu to lean against the bed, she raised her hand to her collar.

"Sister! Sister! Can you close the door first?" Zhao Shu was anxious, and two shyness appeared on her face: "I, I am not used to taking off my clothes with the door open."

The woman ignored Zhao Shu and continued with what she was doing.

Zhao Shu twisted her body with all her might, and finally, she fell on the bed.

The woman did not take this little episode to heart. She bent down and reached out to tear open Zhao Shu's collar.

Zhao Shu raised a purse with difficulty. The woman's eyes flashed. She reached out to take the purse from her hand and then stuffed it into her sleeve.

The woman did not pull Zhao Shu's collar again, but turned and walked towards the door, closing the door with both hands.

After the woman took off the last piece of clothing of Zhao Shu, the woman next to her came over, and the two of them carried Zhao Shu to the bathtub behind the screen.

The biting cold swept up from the soles of Zhao Shu's feet. She kept shivering as she sat in the bathtub. The two women's rough palms rubbed Zhao Shu's body hard, with such force that it seemed as if they wanted to rub her skin off.

Zhao Shu's body soon became covered with large patches of red.

Zhao Shu stepped out of the bathtub with her lips flushed.

The two men put the clothes they had prepared in advance on Zhao Shu, which was a white low-cut dress with a crimson gauze dress on the outside.

The two women didn't say a word the whole time. After helping Zhao Shu put on the dress, they went straight out of the room.

Zhao Shu leaned on the bed, feeling her skin exposed to the air, feeling very uncomfortable.

He leaned back and fell onto the soft big bed. He pulled open the quilt with his hands and rolled himself in. He rolled left and right twice, and only stopped when he was satisfied after rolling himself into a pupae shape.

Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
