I am the villain in the book

At this moment, Chu Xianping's situation was undoubtedly very awkward.

Although he had a super high IQ, it could be seen from the previous incident with Yin Xiao'e that his EQ was indeed not that great.

Therefore, when a young girl threw herself into his arms, crying and shouting "Take me," Chu Xianping was at a loss for a moment.

"Girl, please get up first."

Pressing down on her constantly trembling shoulders with both hands, Chu Xianping used a little force to push the tearful woman away a little.

He didn't dare to look directly at her, and kept repeating like a broken record: "Don't cry, let's talk it over."

"Wipe away your tears first, I will definitely not let you be wronged, rest assured."

"Don't cry, don't cry."

As Chu Xianping spoke, he handed over a handkerchief, and the woman also looked over at this moment with her big, watery eyes.

The two gazes intersected in mid-air for a moment, causing both of their faces to feel a little hot.

"Cough, take it."

Stuffing the handkerchief into the woman's hand, Chu Xianping coughed dryly and turned his head to the side, not knowing what he was looking at.

The woman was stunned for a long while before gently wiping away her tears.

"Sir, I'm sorry."

"I have embarrassed you."

"..."

"It's okay."

Seeing that the woman's emotions were no longer so agitated, Chu Xianping finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Girl, don't worry, after I finish my business later, I will explain it clearly to your madam, and I won't let you be wronged for nothing."

"For nothing..."

A look of struggle appeared on the woman's face, and she lowered her head, biting her lip and mocking herself: "How can it be considered for nothing? Since I have fallen into prostitution, I have repeatedly ruined the guests' pleasure and deserve to be beaten."

"..."

Hearing the woman say this, Chu Xianping didn't know how to respond for a moment.

He was silent for a while, and then slowly asked:

"Girl, why did you fall into this kind of place?"

"..."

As if struck by an invisible force, the woman suddenly trembled all over, and the tears that had just stopped immediately welled up in her eyes again.

"Ah, I shouldn't have asked, if you don't want to say, then..."

"It's my father."

The woman suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of sorrow.

"This..."

"It's just that my father is addicted to gambling and owes a lot of gambling debts that he can't repay, so he sold me to this Drunken Spring Brothel."

"Because of this, I am here today... Sir, I was born into a poor family, I am not afraid of being scolded, nor am I afraid of being beaten."

"But if I fail to receive guests again, the Drunken Spring Brothel will definitely drive me away tomorrow, and the money they promised for selling myself will naturally not be fulfilled."

"At that time, my father will not be able to repay the gambling debts, and he and my mother..."

"..."

The woman stopped speaking here.

But Chu Xianping understood what she meant.

It turned out that the reason why she was so desperate to "sell" herself today was not because she was afraid of being beaten, but because she was worried about "implicating" her family and causing them to suffer.

After understanding all of this, Chu Xianping couldn't help but sigh, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the woman again became much gentler.

"Alas."

He sighed softly and placed a cup of tea in front of the woman.

For some reason, Chu Xianping suddenly felt a faint impulse in his heart, and the emotions that had been sealed for a long time showed signs of loosening.

The woman also raised her head suddenly at this time and asked in a low voice: "Sir, can I borrow your shoulder again?"

"..."

This time, although Chu Xianping's expression was still a little hesitant, he didn't immediately refuse.

While he was in a daze, the woman had already leaned over on her own and slowly buried her head in his chest.

A patch of warmth and moisture quickly soaked through his clothes, and a faint fragrance lingered around his nose.

In his life, Chu Xianping had only had such intimate interactions with two women.

One was Yin Xiao'e, and the other was the woman in his arms now.

Although the former also had a fragrance, Chu Xianping couldn't remember what it felt like now, only knowing that it was the smell of powder.

But this woman now...

"What's your name?" Suddenly, Chu Xianping asked in a low voice.

"..."

The woman slowly raised her head, without hesitation, and was about to tell Chu Xianping her real name in the next moment.

However, before she could speak, the tightly closed door was gently pushed open at this moment.

"Creak ~"

Accompanied by a soft sound, a figure quickly flashed in, and then suddenly stopped as if he had been subjected to a body-holding spell.

Wei Changtian looked in disbelief at the two people "embracing each other" in front of him, and was stunned for a long while before repeatedly apologizing in embarrassment:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Just pretend nothing happened, you continue, continue..."

"..."

A dozen breaths later.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Chu..."

Wei Changtian looked back at Chu Xianping, teasing him after looking at the woman who had fallen asleep on the bed:

"I always thought you disdained touching women from brothels, I didn't expect you to like playing this kind of innocent tune!"

"..."

Chu Xianping rarely showed a trace of embarrassment, and after holding back for a long time, he stiffly changed the subject and asked:

"Sir, have you discovered anything?"

"Oh, right."

Of course, Wei Changtian knew what was important now, so he immediately put away the cheap smile on his face, lowered his voice, and said seriously: "Brother Chu, I found that the red-light girl named Le'er seems to have no problems, do you think there might be a trick in this?"

"I also had this suspicion just now."

Chu Xianping also sat up straight and nodded very seriously: "It's hard to say whether she has any problems, but she will definitely not be Yama."

"Sure enough."

Wei Changtian stroked his palm, his brows slightly furrowed: "Since she is not Yama, then this is very likely Bai Youheng's test."

"Deliberately having his subordinates make some unusual moves to see if we will take action. If we really catch the night watchman tonight, then Yama will definitely not show up in the future."

"Hiss, how insidious!"

Taking a light breath, Wei Changtian shook his head to himself after analyzing it.

"But what if this is not Bai Youheng's test... Brother Chu, what do you think we should do?"

"Sir, in my opinion, we should not be too hasty now."

Chu Xianping quickly gave the answer: "For us, there may only be one chance, so we must not act rashly."

"We might as well observe for a few more days, even if this red-light girl is related to Yama, it will be too late to take action then."

"Okay, then that's it, you go tell the others..."

Wei Changtian stopped halfway through his words, and a cheap smile reappeared on his face: "Forget it, I'll go, you continue, if it doesn't work tonight, just stay here."

"..."

Chu Xianping was speechless for a moment, and when he wanted to explain, he found that Wei Changtian had already hummed a little tune and left.

He helplessly swallowed the words back into his stomach and looked back at the embroidered bed.

The woman's eyes were lightly closed, her breathing was steady, and traces of tears still remained on her face.

Chu Xianping just kept looking at her quietly like this, and after not knowing how long, he silently stood up, pushed the door open, and called in a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup.

"Yo, sir, what are your orders! This cheap woman is actually sleeping here!"

"Sir, rest assured, my Drunken Spring Brothel will definitely give you an explanation!"

"..."

The woman walked to the bed in two steps, scolding in a shrill voice, and waved her hand to wake the woman up.

However, Chu Xianping suddenly waved his hand and smiled calmly:

"Name a price."

"I'll redeem her."
