Chapter 633: I’m Begging You To Help Me

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translate

The guard opened the warehouse door.

The dim oil lamp lit up a corner of the warehouse.

“You go over there and take a look. I’ll go this way.”

“Mm-hmm.”

The two of them went off in different directions.

The people hiding in the dark suddenly made a noise behind the guard when he

came near.

Just as the guard turned around, he heard a cracking sound. The oil lamp in his hand suddenly broke, and the lamp oil and fiery sparks instantly scattered outwards onto the bundles of cloth. A fire started burning at once.

The guard got a shock and quickly tried to put out the fire. However, the rolls of cloth were burning too quickly, and he could not put the fire out fast enough.

“It’s on fire. Quick! Get people to help put out the fire!”

The other guard heard the shouting and rushed over. When he saw the fire, he turned around and ran out at once.

The two of them did not notice that when they turned around, a few figures

also quietly followed them out.

They hid in the dark and watched the guards run in their direction. They remembered the direction they came from and waited for them to go to the warehouse before heading in the direction they came from.

The fire in the warehouse was put out in time and did not spread to a large

area.

By the time Qiao Yang got the news and rushed here, the fire had already been put out.

“Manager Qiao, we lost a total of eighteen rolls of cloth. The other things are

fine.1‘

Those rolls of cloth had just been delivered today. He had seen that they were all high-quality fabric, and they were meant for the City Lord. In the end, they were all burned up during the night.

“How did the warehouse catch fire? Didn’t I tell you guys to be careful with

such a big window?”

The two guards on duty tonight came forward and said, “Manager Qiao, please calm down. We were standing guard outside the door initially, but we suddenly heard some strange movements inside. We opened the door and came in to check. We don’t know why the oil lamp suddenly broke.

“How can the oil lamp break for no reason?

Qiao Yang instructed someone to bring the broken oil lamp to him, but the oil lamp had already been smashed into pieces, and it was impossible to see any abnormality at all.

“Send a few more people here to stand guard. We can’t let anything go wrong

again.”

“Yes, Sir.”

The lightning tore through the night sky and illuminated the dark earth.

As the night deepened, almost everyone in the city had fallen asleep. Only Long Ba’s brothel was bustling with activity.

After Long Ba and his men were dealt with, Su Ying did not order them to close the brothel. Long Ba had simply closed it for a few days when he was seriously injured, and now he was open for business again.

A few drunk guests walked out of the brothel while supporting each other. Just as they were about to go home, they saw a beautiful figure sobbing at the corner of the street.

The few of them had drunk a lot of wine. When they heard the soft sobbing, they felt as if their hearts had been tickled by a cat. They staggered toward the woman.

“Which family’s young lady is crying here at night instead of going home?”

“Hehe! Let the few of us comfort you properly.”

When the woman saw that these men were suddenly coming towards her, she appeared so frightened that her face turned pale.

“What are you guys doing? Don’t come near me.

Those few men were drunk, so they did not care and went forward to pull her

up.

“Argh! What are you doing? Let go! Let go of me!” novelbuddy. com

The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of the people from the Peace-keeping Bureau who were patrolling at night. One guy from the Peace-keeping Bureau ran over with his lantern.

“What are you guys doing so late at night?”

The drunkards looked at the uniform on the man and became a little more clear-headed.

“Save me! Save me, save me…” The woman was so frightened that she trembled as she lay curled up on the ground.

Zhou Xing glanced at the woman and then glared at the drunkards. “You think you have become capable after drinking a little? Get lost at once.” One drunkard was a little resentful and wanted to fight, but he was quickly stopped by his other companions. Attacking a Peace-keeping Bureau staff would only lead to an aggravated crime resulting in more severe punishment. They did not want to die yet.

“Are you crazy? Leave quickly, leave quickly.

Those few drunkards then stumbled away.

Zhou Xing put away the long pole in his hand and walked up to the woman.

“Miss, are you alright?”

The woman slowly raised her head. The dim yellow light from the lantern illuminated her beautiful side profile, and her moist, dewy eyes were simply calling out for pity.

“Thank… thank you, hero.”

When he saw that her body was not injured in any way, Zhou Xing took a step back and distanced himself from her. “Miss, since you’re fine, you should go back quickly. It’s not safe to be outside at night.”

Zhou Xing turned to leave after he finished speaking, but the woman’s weak voice rang out from behind him.

“I… I have nowhere to go…”

Zhou Xing looked puzzled. “No place to go? Then where did you live previously?”

The woman raised her head and glanced in the direction of the brothel.

Zhou Xing was aware of what happened previously. He also knew that Long Ba had secretly captured some women and made them receive guests at the brothel.

“You… escaped from the brothel? Did Long Ba’s men capture you?”

The woman lowered her eyes and said softly, “I… I was sold, but I don’t want to stay there. Hero, please help me. I… I really have nowhere to go.” Zhou Xing frowned with a troubled expression. “How about this? I’ll take you to the shelter first.”

He couldn’t let a defenseless woman sleep on the streets at night.

“Thank you, hero. Thank you, hero.

The shelter was originally set up for people who had just arrived in Sky Alpha City and did not have a place to stay for the time being. However, almost everyone had been settled down, so there was only one old guy keeping watch at the shelter now.

Zhou Xing told the old man to bring two steamed buns for the woman.

“Have a rest after eating. I’ll go to the brothel tomorrow to ask about your

situation.”

There was a clear rule in Sky Alpha City. The women working in the brothel had to be there willingly. If the woman herself was unwilling, even the woman’s family could not forcibly sell her off. Otherwise, if the woman reported it to the Peace-keeping Bureau, not only the woman’s family but also the brothel would be punished.

When the woman heard that, she said anxiously, “Hero, please leave me a way out. If my father is punished, he will definitely not let me off.

Rules were static, but people were mobile. Zhou Xing felt that the woman’s worries were not without reason.

-Don’t think too much. Just relax and stay here. It’s too late today. If there’s anything, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

The woman nodded passively.

After Zhou Xing left, he didn’t go back to rest. Instead, he went to the brothel. When the people from the brothel saw someone in the Peace-keeping Bureau uniform showing up at their doorstep, their hearts were on tenterhooks. They still remembered how Su Ying had intimidated the whole brothel earlier. They were afraid that if anything happened again, their good days would come to an end.

The manager in charge did not dare to be negligent and came out to welcome him. “Oh, it’s you, Brother Zhou? Why are you free to come to our place today.” According to the city’s regulations, the people from the Peace-keeping Bureau were not allowed to visit the brothel. Zhou Xing wore his uniform here, so he definitely wasn’t here to have fun.

The manager led Zhou Xing to a side room, where snacks and tea were served. -Don’t be nervous. I’m here today to ask you something. Did someone sell their daughter again today?”

When the manager heard that, his heart shuddered. “Gosh, Brother Zhou! We definitely didn’t force anyone. You have to be clear about this.

Zhou Xing said with a smile, “I’m just asking casually. How many people did you take in today?”

The manager could not figure out Zhou Xing’s purpose, so he could only answer honestly, “At first, we wanted to take one in, but she was unwilling. Therefore, we did not proceed..”
