Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Venturing Alone into the Tiger’s Den

After the two men had taken away the food and dishes, Mu Yunxi glanced at Qin Tian and said icily, ”If you want to be a good person, do it yourself!”

With that, she walked to the window, lept out with a single bound, and vanished into the woods behind the inn.

Qin Tian sneered to himself, agreeing that there is no common ground for those of differing principles.

Fortunately, at least Mu Yunxi hadn’t stayed in the room to create trouble.

Qin Tian knew that the people in the inn would surely wait for the drug they had given him and Mu Yunxi to take effect before their men would come in to deal with them.

Mu Yunxi was aware of this as well, which was why she was not planning to get involved or deal with the bandits of the inn, choosing instead to be on her own outside.

And just as Qin Tian and Mu Yunxi had anticipated, around nine o’clock at night, the bandits inside the inn, guessing that the drug should have taken effect, stealthily made their way to Qin Tian’s room.

At that moment, Qin Tian was pretending to be fast asleep on the bed, carefully sensing the intruders.

The ones who slipped into the room were still those two middle-aged men who had brought in the food earlier.

”Eh, where’s that beauty in black clothes?” one of the men whispered quietly.

”How come she’s not in the room? Where did she go? Damn it, I was quite fond of her,” the other man grumbled resentfully.

”Daniu, we agreed earlier, I go first, don’t you dare cut in line!” the first man warned.

Feeling weaker, the man called Daniu replied, ”I got it. Go on then, there’s only this one man on the bed, do you want to go for it? You can have him all to yourself, I won’t join!”

”I’m not interested in men!”

”Forget it, since neither of us are interested, let’s just tie him up and lock him in the room first. That woman must be out of it due to the drugs, and doesn’t know where she ran off to. Dagou, it looks like we need to change our agreement. Whoever finds the beauty first gets to have her, how about that?”

”Fine, I don’t believe you’ll find her before I do!” agreed the man nicknamed Dagou, although he was unsatisfied with the proposal.

Accordingly, the two men simply tied Qin Tian’s hands behind his back with a rope, and then the burly man known as Daniu carried Qin Tian downstairs and tossed him into a small, dark room before leaving him be.

Inside the small, dark room, Qin Tian opened his eyes and could still hear the voices of the two lascivious brutes.

”Their car is still outside; they couldn’t possibly have left. That woman is definitely inside the inn.”

”Right, let’s search carefully. It’s so rare to encounter such a beauty, hehe, I’m going to have some fun.”

From beginning to end, these two men had their minds set on Mu Yunxi, completely ignoring the strikingly handsome Qin Tian.

”Alas, a beauty’s allure is indeed greater than that of a handsome man these days...”

In the dark room, Qin Tian first loosened his binds, then began talking to himself, ”Thank goodness she didn’t stay with me. Otherwise, these two lechers would have taken complete advantage of her...”

”But that probably wouldn’t have happened either. If someone so much as touched her, she’d be ready to kill them. Those two men were probably already corpses before they could even lay a hand on her.”

After untying himself, Qin Tian pulled out his phone to find that it had no signal in the middle of nowhere.

Turning on the flashlight, Qin Tian saw that aside from himself, there were about a dozen other people in the small, dark room, all unconscious and with their hands bound behind their backs just like his.

Qin Tian recognized these people as the group of travelers he had encountered when entering the inn.

However, in this room, there were only men. Qin Tian clearly remembered that among the group of travelers, there were two young women and a forty-something woman with a face full of freckles and a robust build.

”Damn... this is sickening!”

Qin Tian knew without a doubt where the two young women and the middle-aged woman had been taken.

”Sigh, who would have thought I’d encounter such a thing... Lass, if it wasn’t for your kind heart, I really wouldn’t bother saving these people.”

Qin Tian smacked his lips and sighed helplessly.

The lass Tang Wan was exceptionally kind-hearted. When she had been with Qin Tian, she’d become upset for half a day even over a wounded sparrow, so she didn’t like to harm any living creature.

Although Qin Tian’s line of work necessitated actions that were sometimes lethal, and Tang Wan had been around the Mercenary World long enough to know that killing could not always be avoided, she still made Dragon Soul members promise, especially Cao Taiji and Qin Tian—to not kill the innocent.

Back then, Qin Tian had promised Tang Wan that saving a life was of greater merit than building a seven-tiered pagoda, and if he encountered someone in need of help, he would do his best to assist them.

After arriving in Zhonghai City, Qin Tian had been living up to his promise to the lass, stepping in to save the initially unknown Lu Qing, Fan Bing...-

Now, Qin Tian continued to honor his promise by attempting to rescue this group of trapped travelers.

The door to the small, dark room was locked, but this was no problem for Qin Tian as he easily opened it and slipped out silently.

It was a dark and windy night, and a few candles were lit inside the inn, where a number of middle-aged men were moving around, seemingly searching for something.

Qin Tian sneaked to the back of the room by the inn’s main hall and heard Qiu Niang giving urgent orders, ”You lot, hurry up and find that woman in black for me.”

”Got it, Qiu Niang. Don’t worry!”

”We’re looking right now, that wretched woman is definitely passed out somewhere because of the drugs,” the men replied with laughter.

Qiu Niang then asked, ”Where is Gao Er?”

”Heh heh, Qiu Niang, you know what Gao Er is like. He took those three women to his room earlier. What do you think he’s doing now? Heh heh,” they answered with a snicker.

”Damn it, he sure knows how to have fun. He even won’t let that forty-something hag go? Gao Er’s tastes are truly too heavy!” Qiu Niang laughed crudely before saying, ”Sun Lao San, go tell Gao Er to not hurt them.”

”Okay!”

Overhearing this conversation, Qin Tian felt chilled to the core. This gang was not simply running a crooked inn; they were actually involved in human trafficking!

Watching Sun Lao San go upstairs with a smile, Qin Tian remained silent and stealthily followed behind.

Standing at the entrance to a room in the corridor, Sun Lao San knocked on the door, ”Gao Er, open up. Qiu Niang sent me to give you a message.”

The door opened and a wave of warmth spilled out from the room.
