Nightwatcher

# 277. Zhong Li the Worker

Young Master Liu and his companions were not having an easy time. After Miss Rongrong was taken away, the young heroes, led by Young Master Liu, quickly returned to the inn to inform the elders about what had transpired.

After a brief discussion, the elders decided not to rush to the Nightwatchers Constabulary to demand her release. Instead, they used their connections and tried to handle the matter through official channels.

Upon learning that it was the Nightwatchers who had taken her, those “connections” in the capital, who held no insignificant positions, showed hesitation. Yet, after being begged with heavy bribes, they reluctantly agreed to help.

However, as soon as they heard the name of the Nightwatcher who had arrested her—Xu Qi'an—their faces turned pale. They waved their hands repeatedly, exclaiming: "Impossible! Can't be done!"

Thus, the whole afternoon was wasted. By the next morning, they had no choice but to brace themselves and visit the Constabulary, hoping that this infamous Silver Gong might show some mercy.

Miss Rongrong's teacher was a charming middle-aged woman, with a round and graceful face that hinted at the beauty she must have been in her youth. Her heart was full of worry, knowing all too well the nature of men. After a whole night, who knew what sort of torture Rongrong might have endured...

Losing her chastity was one thing. Worse would be if she had fallen into the hands of a greedy man who would lock her up in a grand mansion as his plaything. That would be a woman's true tragedy.

Young Master Liu's master, on the other hand, was a composed middle-aged swordsman, distinguished by his deep nasolabial lines and bright, piercing eyes.
