Chapter 131.2: Is Your Mouth Still Ok? (1/2)
“Lady Doudou. This is the place where prisoners are kept.” Xiao Dao’s voice interrupted Tang Doudou’s train of thought.
It was very dark. Tang Doudou couldn’t even see where Xiao Dao was.
“Why don’t you give me some light?” Tang Doudou really wanted to knuckle rap Xiao Dao again. Was this kid a natural airhead?
Xiao Dao gave a dejected ‘oh,’ then took out a rolled torch to light the lamps.
The entire room gradually became illuminated.
Huh? There actually wasn’t much to be scared of!
Weren’t those just the torture instruments often shown in TV dramas? There was nothing particularly grotesque or novel, what a disappointment ah!
“Xiao Dao? What about the people imprisoned here?” Tang Doudou looked around and discovered that there was not a single person here. Where was Skinny?
Xiao Dao replied, “Master has never placed much importance on this branch so these have never been used.”
“This branch isn’t valued?” Mist City was a nightless city and it was flourishing even better than Huai City. As an authentic businessman, how could Baili Yu not value this piece of fat meat?
This made no sense!
“By the way, Xiao Dao, have you always been in Mist City?” She recalled that when Baili Yu was heading over, Ye Chuan had only arranged for those maids to go with him. She didn’t know if he had arranged for any guards to go in secret as well.
Xiao Dao nodded. “That’s right. Back then, I was sent here to be the person in charge at this branch. It has probably been about five years.”
Five years. That doesn’t count as short.
Xiao Dao didn’t look older than eighteen. If it had been five years, then back then wouldn’t he have been around twelve or thirteen?
To become the person in charge of such a large branch at that age, Baili Yu was exploiting child labor ah!
However, this meant that Xiao Dao probably had a lot of skill.
So why did he become a hidden guard?
“Lady Doudou, if there are no other matters, then we should head out. It’s not good for girls to look at these things.” Xiao Dao couldn’t stop himself from saying this when he saw Tang Doudou lost in thought as she leaned next to the torture instruments.
Although Tang Doudou wasn’t afraid of these things, being underground was a little stifling. Hence, she nodded in agreement. “Alright.”
Right as they stepped out of the basement, a figure ran over.
“Boss Xiao Dao, I’ve finally found you!”
“What is it?”
“Master, Master is looking for you!” The person who had arrived was the hidden guard that usually stayed by Baili Yu’s side.
Baili Yu? Before Xiao Dao could even reply, Tang Doudou interjected, “It was Baili Yu that send you to find Xiao Dao? Did he call for me to go over there?”
Only then did the hidden guard notice her presence. He hastily bowed and said, “Greetings, Lady Doudou.”
“Enough wasting words. Did Baili Yu ask for me to go over?”
The hidden guard displayed a troubled expression. “Master only called for Boss Xiao Dao to head over, he didn’t say to find Lady Doudou.”
“Then where is he right now?”
“City Lord Residence!”
