Tang Wannian said this and no longer paid any attention.
At this time, the entire brothel was crowded with onlookers. Except for those who were busy with their affairs, anyone who heard the commotion came out to watch. After all, it was rare to witness trouble at the Yihong House.
A group of people, chattering and standing haphazardly, filled the entire Yihong House.
The enforcers of the Yihong House surrounded Chen Jie and his six companions and said, "Friends from the White Tiger Hall, this is the Yihong House. It’s not wise to stir up trouble here!"
Chen Jie looked at the men before him and noticed that the leader was exuberant with energy, also a master of the Dark Force.
Chen Jie said, "I’m not here to make trouble. Why are you surrounding me?"
"Hmm, with such a strong aura of Blood Evil Qi, did you come to seek pleasure? Our girls wouldn’t dare to serve you!"
The head guard spoke, and upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "I’m not here to find pleasure either. Where is your Manager? I’ve come to redeem someone!"
Upon hearing these words, everyone around was astonished by Chen Jie.
Coming to the Yihong House to redeem someone, did we hear that right? Redemption is not allowed here. For whom is this man risking it all?
At this moment, the crowd began chattering among themselves.
Meanwhile, many of the courtesans inside the brothel were equally astonished by Chen Jie and started to speculate among themselves who the beloved was, daring enough to seek redemption at the Yihong House.
"Sister, do you know this man? Could he be here to redeem you?"
"Don’t tease me, sister. I do not know this man. Yet, he dares to come here for redemption. Sigh—if it were really for me, I would willingly give myself to him."
"Ah, if only we knew which sister’s beau he is. It’s a pity. Since our building was established, no one has managed to successfully redeem anyone. This good man is probably in vain."
"Isn’t that a shame, such a pity!"
The courtesans in the building lamented, and as they looked at Chen Jie, their gazes were full of respect. Actors are heartless, and jesters are thoughtless, yet the ones with the deepest feelings are often these brothel women.
Pity the true-hearted cannot be mended. To think about it, how many decent men look for their match in a brothel?
Those who come here are usually led not by their brains, but by their other half—where can one find a true lover?
Everyone looked at Chen Jie with curiosity about this man who inexplicably came to redeem someone.
Just then, a nanny, in charge of the front yard affairs, approached. After sizing up Chen Jie, she said, "Sir, I am the Housekeeper here. If you have business, speak to me."
Chen Jie said, "Then good, I’ll speak to you. Here’s the situation. My sister was trafficked to your establishment, and I wish to redeem her. Please do me this favor."
"Trafficked to our house?"
The Housekeeper asked, "What’s the name?"
"Su Yunrui, also known as Ruirui."
The Housekeeper, after hearing this, commanded, "Go check."
A slave immediately ran to the back of the house. At that moment in the backyard...
"Zhixuan, stop making a fuss and go to sleep."
"I won’t sleep. My brother-in-law will come to fetch me soon. I must wait for him."
"Your brother-in-law can’t come anymore, Zhixuan. If you keep making trouble, nanny will have to punish you severely."
"I am not called Zhixuan; I am Ruirui, Su Yunrui!"
As the slave arrived, he saw the Housekeeper of the backyard and immediately inquired whether they had purchased any girls from traffickers today. The nanny was startled and replied, "Yes."
"Is there one named Su Yunrui, also called Ruirui?"
The Housekeeper was a bit shocked and said, "Yes, what about it?"
"There’s a man from the White Tiger Hall outside, claiming his sister was trafficked into our establishment, and he wants to redeem her."
"He’s actually come!"
The Housekeeper said in surprise, thinking that Ruirui was boasting to her, but in the end, her brother-in-law had indeed arrived.
The Housekeeper paused briefly, "What’s the stance of the house?"
"Don’t know yet, haven’t reported it."
The Housekeeper instructed, and at that moment, the slave quickly returned to the front and whispered something to the Housekeeper in front of Chen Jie. Chen Jie narrowed his eyes, attempting to pick up any bit of conversation.
After hearing the report, the front courtyard nanny turned to look at Chen Jie and said, "Hmm, indeed, there is such a person."
Chen Jie said, "Then, nanny, please quote a price. I am willing to pay double to redeem her!"
Chen Jie was sincere in his approach, not wishing to offend the Yihong House. Thus, he thought any issue that could be resolved with silver was not really an issue at all.
After hearing this, the front courtyard nanny said, "Young man, our Yihong House is not short of money, but we have rules. Our rule is that once someone enters the Yihong House, they cannot be redeemed for life. Your sister has entered the Yihong House, so she cannot be redeemed."
Chen Jie, upon hearing this, insisted, "Nanny, please feel free to name your price!"
"It’s not a matter of money. The Yihong House doesn’t have a rule for redemption. Sorry!"
Chen Jie probed, "You can’t grant even a bit of leniency?"
The nanny scoffed, "Hehe, young man, I’ve already investigated your identity. Chen Jiusi, adoptive son of Sect Master Peng of the White Tiger Hall. But this little favor is not enough, so please leave. Rest assured, your sister will be well taken care of here."
Chen Jie’s face turned grim after he heard this and immediately followed up, "Nanny, what if I insist on taking her away?"
The front courtyard nanny laughed and said, "You can’t take her away on your own."
As she spoke, a group of guards took up position, with the head guard commanding, "Young man, be on your way. The Yihong House is not a place for you to run wild."
As he spoke, his bones and muscles vibrated with the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, a characteristic trait of the masters within the Iron Bone Realm.
Chen Jie clenched his fists. The front courtyard nanny said, "Chen Jiusi, as I said, you won’t be able to take her away today!"
"What if you include me?"
At this moment, suddenly, the sound of footsteps approached from outside. Right after, a group dressed in escort agency uniforms, surrounding an old man, entered.
