Hearing these two people call someone a good-for-nothing one after another, Zhang Yan felt that the shadow over his master seemed to be growing even larger.
Yun Xi and Yun Li stared at the scene in front of them, stunned. Their identical eyes were full of amazement.
A Nan looked indignant. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would refuse to pay debts? Fine, I'll sell myself to pay them off! My innocent body is worth quite a bit of silver. Come and take it if you want! I won't resist at all!"
Heng Niang rolled her eyes at him. "Your useless body? Worth anything? It probably wouldn't even be enough for me to have a good time in a male brothel!"
A Nan's face instantly changed. His eyes looking at Heng Niang were filled with gritted teeth. "When did you go to a male brothel?"
How come he didn't know about this?
Heng Niang snorted. "None of your business! Even if I were to find a man just as useless as that wimp, it would be better than you!"
Hearing this, A Nan flew into a rage. He rushed to Xue Zhan's side and immediately pulled him up. "Take a good look. I'm clearly a hundred times better than this good-for-nothing!"
"Humph! So what? I'm telling you, if my inn gets shut down, I'll never forgive you!" Heng Niang pointed a finger at A Nan's nose with one hand on her hip and angrily scolded.
Yun Xi couldn't help swallowing. His eyes darted back and forth between Heng Niang and Liu Rumei. "This woman is so fierce!"
Yun Li nodded in agreement. "As the ancients said, 'Women and petty men are difficult to deal with.' This saying is so true!"
After saying that, he felt it was a bit inappropriate and quickly corrected himself. "Except for my sister! There probably won't be another woman as beautiful and kind as my sister in this world!"
Si Xi was completely stunned by now. Her eyes looking at Heng Niang were full of admiration.
Liu Rumei felt a headache looking at the situation in front of her. She was afraid she wouldn't get any answers from these two.
So she immediately turned her gaze to Zhang Yan beside her. Her beautiful eyes were full of inquiry.
Zhang Yan was looking at Xue Zhan, who was being lifted like a chicken by A Nan, and he was already laughing uncontrollably inside. He never thought that Lord Xue, who always boasted of being suave and handsome, would end up in such a situation one day.
"These two came to report a case early this morning. The innkeeper said that a waiter in the inn took a fancy to a beautiful female guest and used a drug to abduct her. By the time she came back, it was already too late. The female guest had been hidden by the waiter. Then, they had a dispute. The waiter said that he didn't hide the female guest. When he noticed this morning, the female guest had already disappeared. He searched for a long time but couldn't find her!"
Then, Xiao Heyuan couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling. "After that, the innkeeper insisted that the waiter was lying. Lord Xue couldn't help saying a few words for the innkeeper. Who would have thought that he would be attacked by these two together and end up like this! Finally, the waiter couldn't argue with the innkeeper and was tied up in the morgue in the backyard by the innkeeper. Then, Miss Liu, you came."
These two were really a pair of live treasures!
Lord Xue was attracted by the innkeeper's charm and tried to have an affair with her. However, she didn't buy it at all. Instead, she completely crushed his pride. This really broke Lord Xue's heart. That's why he ended up like this...
Zhang Yan looked at A Nan and Xue Zhan in his hand. A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. Lord Xue's martial arts were not bad, but he was taken down by the waiter in a few moves just now!
Who on earth was this waiter?
After sorting out the whole thing, Liu Rumei couldn't help sighing and shaking her head. Looking at Xue Zhan sandwiched between the two, she felt full of sympathy for a moment.
At this time, Heng Niang and A Nan were still arguing non-stop. Liu Rumei had to step forward and pull them apart. "Heng Niang, this really wasn't done by A Nan!"
When Heng Niang saw Liu Rumei coming, her shrewd look disappeared instantly. A hint of grievance appeared on her charming face. It made people want to hold her in their arms and comfort her carefully. "You heartless person! You're actually speaking for him! Tell me, are you being fickle?"
Seeing this, Zhang Yan and the others instantly widened their eyes. They were amazed in their hearts. This speed of changing expressions was really unbelievable!
However, looking at the aggrieved look on Heng Niang's face, there was also a bit of strangeness in their eyes when they looked at Heng Niang and Liu Rumei.
Si Xi also opened her eyes wide. This...
Liu Rumei didn't notice the expressions of the people around her. Her eyes were full of helplessness. Then she told them what had happened in the case yesterday in detail.
Heng Niang's face instantly showed anger. "Which fool dares to cause trouble on my territory!"
Thinking that someone had disappeared right under her nose in her inn, Heng Niang's eyes were full of anger. She kicked A Nan. "You useless thing! You couldn't even watch a person properly!"
A Nan gritted his teeth angrily. "Damn it! How dare they provoke me! They must be tired of living!"
Moreover, they made him suffer this unjust accusation. They really deserved to die!
Liu Rumei said softly, "A Nan, do you know when the person disappeared?"
A Nan frowned and thought for a moment. "When I knocked on the door early this morning, the girl was already gone."
Last night, he had something important to do, so he didn't stay in the inn after dark. That's why this oversight happened.
"Did you touch that room?" Liu Rumei frowned and asked.
"No. By the way, there was a drug in that room. Although the smell was very faint, it's probably gone by now."
That's why Heng Niang thought he had hidden the female guest.
Not only did they cause trouble on his territory, but they also slandered his innocence. It was simply unforgivable!
Ding Tiantian nodded. She turned her head and wanted to talk to Xue Zhan. But seeing Xue Zhan in such a severely defeated state, she could only look at Zhang Yan and said helplessly, "I'll go and check the situation."
Zhang Yan held back his laughter. "Okay."
Xiao Heyuan thought for a while and quickly said, "Miss Liu, I'll go with you."
"Okay."
Because a person had disappeared from the inn yesterday, the guests didn't dare to stay any longer. When the yamen runners came, the guests all checked out.
This was also the reason why Heng Niang was angry with A Nan!
Xiao Heyuan stood at the door and looked at the plaque. "The Fate Encounter Inn?"
Fate comes and goes. It's really a good name.
A Nan led them into the room where the female guest had stayed yesterday. Everything in the room was untouched. The bedding and the teacup on the table were still in a mess. In front of the bed, a pair of embroidered shoes were placed.
Liu Rumei stepped to the window but found no clues. "The shoes are still here, which means this person was taken away in her sleep."
The Yun Xi brothers also frowned. How could a person just disappear like this?
