Chapter 179 Adjusting Strategy
Chapter 179 Adjusting Strategy
Fan Yanmu's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and his eyes revealed a bit of vigilance and suspicion, as if he was examining an uninvited guest who suddenly appeared.
Fang Jiawen was completely unaware of this, the only thing on his mind was his brother's safety.
He eagerly told everyone the news that Fang Weiyi had gone alone to look for Jin Chengfeng, his tone full of urgency and worry.
Time is running out, and every minute and every second may determine Fang Weiyi's fate.
Xiao Zhixue took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed her dissatisfaction with Fan Yanmu.
In the face of life and death, personal grudges seem insignificant. She understands that the most important thing at the moment is to save lives.
It’s not too late to settle those personal grudges later.
"We must act immediately. Jin Chengfeng is no match for Fang Weiyi."
Her voice was firm and unquestionable.
Fan Yanmu looked up at the darkening sky. The hour of Hai was quietly approaching, and the original plan was obviously no longer applicable.
He quickly adjusted his strategy and calmly said, "Since Fang Weiyi's actions have disrupted our plan, the first priority is to rescue him safely. I will arrange for Ying Yi and Ying Er to stay and protect everyone, and the rest of us will set out immediately to look for Fang Weiyi. There is no need to wait until midnight. Once we find him, we will go directly to Xuan Yu Tang headquarters."
Su Yulan, An Ying'er and Fang Jiawen all had no objection. They were well aware that the situation was urgent and any delay could lead to unpredictable consequences.
So, the group quickly left the old house and hurried towards Yuhongyuan, leaving only a series of hurried footsteps in the night.
At the same time, Fang Weiyi was standing in front of the carved wooden door of Yuhongyuan, and a plump, heavily made-up old madam came up to him with a smile on her face.
"Oh, this young man is so handsome. It's obvious that he is a distinguished guest visiting our Yuhong Courtyard for the first time! You've come at the right time. We have gathered the most beautiful flowers in Zhangzhou City here. I guarantee you will be reluctant to leave. Please come in!"
As she spoke, the madam enthusiastically reached out her hand to hold Fang Weiyi's arm, trying to use her enthusiasm to bring them closer.
However, Fang Weiyi just snorted softly, with a hint of impatience in his eyes, and he forcefully and decisively got rid of the overly intimate hand.
"Which room is Jin Chengfeng in? Take me there."
His voice was calm and firm, without any unnecessary emotion.
When the madam heard that the person was looking for Jin Chengfeng, a knowing smile immediately appeared on her face, as if everything was under control.
"Mr. Jin is a frequent visitor to our Yuhong Courtyard. Are you looking for him today to share a good night and beautiful scenery? Don't worry, I will lead the way for you right away."
The madam turned around and led Fang Weiyi through the winding corridor and into the depths of Yuhongyuan.
Fang Weiyi's appearance was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. The women in the pavilion all cast curious and inquiring glances at him.
He was dressed in clean white clothes and had an outstanding temperament. He was like a pine or cypress under the moon, tall and aloof, and instantly became the focus of all eyes.
The women cast their flirtatious glances at him, either overtly or covertly, and used their soft waists and graceful figures to try their best to show off their charm, hoping to attract the attention of this strange guest.
However, Fang Weiyi's face was as calm as an ancient well. He turned a blind eye to these deliberate provocations and even felt a hint of disgust in his heart.
He had a clear purpose for this trip and had no interest in these worldly temptations.
On the way up the stairs, two beautiful women came towards him. As soon as they saw Fang Weiyi, they immediately smiled like flowers and their voices were as sweet as honey.
"Young Master, how about letting the two sisters spend the night with you tonight? I guarantee that you will enjoy unprecedented happiness."
Faced with such an invitation, Fang Weiyi's face became even colder, as if covered by a layer of frost. He uttered a few words coldly: "How insulting!"
When the two women heard this, they laughed even harder, as if they didn't care at all about Fang Weiyi's indifference.
"Oh, it turns out that I am just a fledgling who has never experienced the world. How about letting the two sisters open your eyes to the world?"
These frivolous words almost made Fang Weiyi's anger reach its peak. He had never thought that there would be such a shameless woman in the world.
Upon seeing this, the madam stepped in to mediate and dispersed the two women.
"Go away, stop being an eyesore here. This gentleman is here to see Mr. Jin. You guys are not worthy of him even taking a second look at you."
Being scolded by the madam, the two women pouted, retreated to the side with an unwilling look on their faces, and muttered complaints.
"Mother He is really biased. In terms of looks, how can we not compare to that courtesan Liu?"
"That's right. Oiran Liu only knows some tricks and became an Oiran because she made Master Jin infatuated with her. If we really compare her, she is not even as good as our toes."
"Alright, alright, stop talking. If Master Jin hears you, your lives will be in danger!"
The madam's words made the two women shut up immediately, not daring to say anything.
The madam led Fang Weiyi up the stairs and finally stopped in front of the third room on the second floor.
There was a faint sound in the room that made people blush, which made Fang Weiyi feel uncomfortable.
The madam was already used to this, and she smiled and said to Fang Weiyi: "Mr. Jin is enjoying himself in there, do you want to wait until he is done, and then go in and have some fun together?"
Although the madam's tone seemed polite, she actually didn't want Fang Weiyi to disturb Jin Chengfeng at this moment.
Fang Weiyi had long realized that Jin Chengfeng's status in Yuhongyuan was extraordinary. Even a shrewd figure like the madam was in awe of him. It was unclear whether it was because of his wealth or because of his ruthless methods.
When the two women heard what the madam said, they turned pale with fright and dared not say another word.
Fang Weiyi has always had a high opinion of himself, so how could he be afraid of Jin Chengfeng?
He was unwilling to wait, and even more unwilling to let Jin Chengfeng face him after Xiaoyao.
So he ordered coldly: "Open the door now!"
The madam looked embarrassed and hesitant.
She did have the key to open the door, but she was afraid that this would disturb Jin Chengfeng.
That man was well-known for his ruthless methods. When he first arrived in Zhangzhou three years ago, he acted recklessly in Yuhong Courtyard, which eventually led to the tragic deaths of all the courtesans in the court at his hands.
The madam tried to report the case to the police, but was instead severely tortured by Jin Chengfeng. That unbearable experience still scares her to this day, and she shudders every time she thinks of it.
Jin Chengfeng's eyes were like ice in winter, almost freezing her fear. His hatred seemed to want to peel off every inch of her skin and drink her blood to vent his hatred...
During that period, Jin Chengfeng's figure became almost the most terrifying presence in Yuhongyuan at night.
Whenever night falls, he wanders around the yard like a ghost. Those girls who are usually charming and amorous are all trembling with fear. Their fate is as fragile as autumn leaves. They are "favored" by Jin Chengfeng one by one, but behind them are endless tears and lamentations.
