Chapter 357: The Inn (1/2)

Qin Feng’s body stiffened and his heart started to thump loudly. He cursed in his heart...This is bad, this is bad. Mistress is definitely going to find out. If she finds out, I will be in deep trouble. This time, I might not be able to avoid punishment...

“Qin Feng? Qin Feng?” Bai Luochu noticed that Qin Feng fell into a daze and his face was turning paler by the second. When she saw the cold sweat dripping down his forehead, suspicion welled up in her heart. Did he...

A bold thought appeared in her mind but she didn’t dare to think in that direction. However, now that the thought had appeared in her mind, she wanted to know the answer. She didn’t care about the process, but she felt that she had to know how he obtained the inn.

“Did you kill someone to snatch his ownership of the inn?!” Bai Luochu squinted at Qin Feng. It seemed as though she wanted to see through his thoughts.

When Qin Feng heard her question, he was like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on. He shivered for a moment before regaining his calm. “No, no. Mistress, you have to believe me! I will never kill someone to take over their inn!”

“Fine. Tell me about how you took over this inn.” Bai Luochu chose to believe Qin Feng as he was a talent hand-picked by her. If she didn’t believe her subordinate’s confession, she would be a huge joke.

Qin Feng knew that he was unable to hide the truth anymore. He led Bai Luochu outside as he explained himself, “Mistress, please follow me. I will tell you how I obtained this inn.”

Qin Feng left the inn and went to the front yard. He twisted a mechanism on the wall and a concealed entrance on the ground opened. He quickly entered with Bai Luochu following closely behind.

A human figure appeared after descending the flight of stairs. Bai Luochu was shocked as he looked exactly like Qin Feng when he wore the mask. “Is this the original innkeeper?”

Qin Feng knew that he did something wrong and he nodded. He braced himself for the scolding that was about to arrive as he explained, “When this subordinate arrived, I looked for the closest inn to stay. Even though Commander Ying asked this subordinate to put on a disguise, I didn’t know what would be good enough. It just so happens that I had a similar build to the innkeeper and an idea immediately formed in my head.”

“One fine night, this subordinate realized that the innkeeper was a scammer. He stole the guests’ belongings and hid them in the basement. This subordinate wanted to teach him a lesson and knocked him out. After hiding him in the basement, I disguised myself as him before running the inn. I would keep him alive by delivering food and water every few days.”

“What are you planning to do after this blows over?” Bai Luochu asked.

“I’ll release him and allow him to return to manning the inn. After this, he will definitely learn his lesson.” Qin Feng spoke of his original intentions to Bai Luochu.
