Martial Arts Sainthood Begins with the Tiger-Taming Fist
Chapter 14 The Secret of the Brothel
The air was filled with the smells of alcohol and cosmetics.
Some wealthy young men were generous, tossing several silver ingots to the women in front of them. The women laughed heartily while hurriedly tucking the silver into their sleeves, afraid that the rich young men would regret it.
Chen Mo cleared away the distractions in his field of vision and focused his gaze on a man in black.
The man in black did not stop at all and went straight up to the second floor.
Chen Mo pretended to be attracted by the songstress beside him, but in reality, his eyes were always fixed on the direction of the stairs, trying to remember the direction where the man in black disappeared.
"Young master, come on, have a couple of drinks!"
A woman dressed in a floral dress, her face covered in makeup, held a wine cup in her hand and winked at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo glanced at it, but didn't have time to look at it for long. He then turned his gaze away and slowly walked towards the stairs, going upstairs quietly.
He had seen similar situations in his previous life and knew that these were all deals that could lead to financial ruin.
The woman feigned anger, then turned and went to find another target.
Chen Mo went upstairs, pretending to wander around for a while before heading towards the direction where the man in black had disappeared.
On both sides were rows of tightly closed rooms, from which came unspeakable sounds.
When he reached the door of a slightly larger room, Chen Mo stopped and slightly opened the window to see the scene inside.
One person was sitting, while two others stood beside him.
"Lost them for two days in a row?" the sitting man said in a gloomy voice.
The man in black standing there trembled slightly. "Report to the deputy leader, that kid is as cunning as an eel. I suspect he has already discovered me."
"You fucking have no reason to doubt this! Don't make excuses for your incompetence! Not only have you embarrassed yourself, but don't bring this back with you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo's heart tightened.
Immediately afterwards, the man in black patted his chest and said, "That's definitely not the case; I'm confident of that."
The deputy leader pondered for a moment, then, without delving deeper, asked another person, "Are you sure the information you gathered is accurate? Is that Chen Mo really just a newly entered Ming Jin realm?"
"Reporting to the Vice Chief, the information I gave you the day before yesterday was true. I first went to the Rock Martial Arts School but couldn't find that person. Later, I learned that he was a newly recruited disciple of the Azure Martial Arts School, who broke through to the Ming Jin level within half a month of joining the school."
Upon closer inspection, Chen Mo realized that the person speaking was the burly man with the knife at the entrance of the brothel that day.
"really……"
He knew perfectly well that the Hansha Gang would eventually discover his identity, and since he had killed a Hansha Gang assassin yesterday, this feud was now officially established.
"Breaking through to the Ming Jin level in half a month..."
The deputy gang leader's face showed surprise. "He can be considered exceptionally talented. Since we have his name and address, it shouldn't be difficult to find out where he lives. By the way, the subordinates reported this morning that one of the two brothers who went to intercept the Wu family's caravan died. It's said that he was also that Chen Mogan's."
At this point, the vice-gang leader's wine glass suddenly shattered, splashing wine onto the burly man with the knife, but he dared not say anything more.
Worried about being exposed, Chen Mo slowly retreated to the stairwell and was about to go downstairs when an acquaintance came up to him.
"Yin Shanshan?"
Chen Mo wondered, "What's she doing at the brothel?"
Yin Shanshan, with a solemn expression, brushed past him and headed to the third floor.
Chen Mo pondered to himself that he had no connection with Yin Shanshan, but if she was related to the Han Sha Gang and was the daughter of the martial arts school's owner, he, as a disciple of the martial arts school, might also be implicated if it caused a conflict between the Han Sha Gang and the Tianqing Martial Arts School.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo also turned and went upstairs, following at a distance.
Yin Shanshan seemed to be in a hurry, her footsteps were both quick and heavy.
"Tap tap tap!"
Soon, Yin Shanshan reached the third floor, but did not stop. She continued along the corridor to a room.
Chen Mo then took the opportunity to hide in the shadows of a nearby storage room, where he could vaguely see the words "Narcissus Pavilion" written on the door.
At that moment, voices could be heard coming from inside the room.
"Nephew Zhang Chong, you are one of the most outstanding young people in Heihe Town, while my Zhao family is the largest family in Heihe Town, and even the leading family in the entire Anyang County. It's a pity we didn't meet sooner."
A middle-aged man with a booming voice spoke loudly.
Next came Zhang Chong's voice: "Uncle Zhao, although it's a bit late, I, Zhang Chong, will definitely do my utmost for the Zhao family, even unto death!"
Chen Mo listened from afar, frowning. Although Zhang Chong's words were somewhat flattering, they weren't excessive. Why was Yin Shanshan in such a hurry?
But Yin Shanshan stood silently at the door, her fingers tightly gripping her skirt, as if waiting for something.
After a moment, the middle-aged man spoke again: "You didn't understand what I meant. My daughter is about your age. If I said I wanted to take you as my son-in-law, would you be willing?"
Chen Mo was startled.
Yin Shanshan's fingers trembled and her eyes reddened.
Inside the room, after a moment's thought, Zhang Chong finally replied, "This junior is willing!"
His words were filled with barely concealed excitement.
Zhang Chong's family background wasn't particularly good, but once he became the Zhao family's son-in-law, he would rise rapidly in rank and have access to countless resources. Who could resist such a temptation?
Chen Mo noticed that Yin Shanshan was now covering her mouth tightly with her hand, afraid that she would cry out loud, and two lines of tears had already ruined her makeup.
She turned and left, her steps unsteady.
Chen Mo was no longer interested in the conversation inside the room, so he followed them downstairs to go home.
Yin Shanshan walked to the entrance on the first floor. A young man who looked like a gentleman offered her a glass of wine. "Miss, would you like a drink?"
Yin Shanshan shouted angrily, "Get out!"
The shout was like thunder in spring.
She raised her hand and knocked the wine glass to the ground, splashing it all over the other person. A sinister glint flashed in the other person's eyes. He took out a packet of powder from his body and sprinkled it on Yin Shanshan.
"This is..." Chen Mo behind him was taken aback.
In an instant, Yin Shanshan became somewhat delirious, her body swaying unsteadily as she hurriedly rushed out of the brothel. The man smiled sinisterly and followed closely behind.
Chen Mo was in a state of deep thought, weighing the two options repeatedly: to save or not to save?
Normally, Yin Shanshan showed him no kindness whatsoever at the martial arts school, so there was no reason for her to save him.
However, Chen Mo was exempted from the tribute and human sacrifice only because he entered the martial arts school. Yin Shanshan was the daughter of the school master, so it was considered as repaying the school master's kindness.
After a moment's thought, he quickly walked out of the brothel. At this moment, there were few pedestrians on the street, and an unusual sound came from an alleyway.
At the alley entrance, Yin Shanshan's legs went weak, and she barely managed to stand by holding onto the wall.
Although her consciousness was hazy, she knew what was about to happen...
The man quickly caught up and ripped the clothes off Yin Shanshan's shoulder. "Oh, which pretty girl is so stubborn?"
Yin Shanshan tried her best to slap the man's hand away, but she didn't expect the drug to be so potent and specifically designed to target women. The slap only made her feel even more gloomy.
Upon seeing this, the man's eyes gleamed with lust, and he reached out to grab the other person's body.
Just then, a powerful fist came crashing down, and the man was sent flying more than ten feet away.
