Chapter 2176: Chapter 2173: Disillusioned

Yan Zhenming was annoyed by the noise, "Alright, I’ll follow the rules, stop nagging."

"Someone’s there!" Suddenly, a guard next to Yan Zhenming shouted sternly and quickly chased after.

Sure enough, when Yan Zhenming looked up, he saw a piece of clothing corner disappearing around the corner.

"Quick, chase!"

Yan Zhenming was startled as well and hurriedly led the remaining guards in pursuit.

By the time they reached the main courtyard, they were already out of breath.

At this moment, those who were nearby,

could all hear the unusual noises.

The madam shouted suddenly, like a cannonball, rushing toward a room.

With a burst of strength, she pushed open the unlocked door.

Seeing the two people on the bed, she screamed and dashed over, shouting angrily, "Thieves, let go of my girl now!"

"Ah..." The woman on the bed let out a scream and quickly pulled the quilt to cover herself.

The man half-lying on the bed, dressed in white undergarments, was awakened but, having drunk alcohol, mumbled and fell back asleep.

When Yan Zhenming entered with several guards, this was the scene they encountered.

Yan Zhenming’s mouth twitched: "Are you sure this lady belongs to your building?"

The madam was baffled at this moment and instinctively shook her head: "No, I don’t know this girl."

"Could there be wild lovers stealing affection here?"

"I’m not a courtesan, I’m a decent lady... Please leave." The woman on the bed cried, her face full of tears, looking utterly humiliated.

Yan Zhenming had no interest in dealing with this bizarre nightly affair, waved his hand, his brows furrowing together: "Let’s go, leave."

"My lord... wake up... Lord Chu... oh, my lord..." The woman’s guilty voice sounded.

Just as Yan Zhenming reached the door, he stopped abruptly.

His expression changed, realizing the guards had obviously heard as well, their faces turning sour as they signaled to keep an eye on the madam, and ordered several to leave.

Once the room was empty,

he gritted his teeth, walked to the folding screen in front of the bed, knelt, and saluted: "This subordinate... pays homage to Lord Chu."

"You’ve got the wrong person." The woman said somewhat guiltily.

But her tone made Yan Zhenming even more disbelieving; now, due to his suspicion, his worldview was shattered, more precisely, the great image of Lord Chu in his heart was broken and rebuilt again.

He waited for a long time without any response from the man on the bed.

Yan Zhenming slowly sensed something amiss.

He called out again.

The man lying on the bed still didn’t react.

Suddenly realizing something, his face changed unpleasantly as he rushed over, both anxious and angry: "You didn’t do anything to Lord Chu, did you?"

Speaking in haste, he instinctively reached out to pull the man lying on the bed over, wanting to confirm ’Lord Chu’ was unharmed, but as the man’s face turned, his rushed words were stuck in his mouth.

Seeing the man on the bed, he let out a sigh of relief while still feeling very angry!

"Who were you calling just now?" Yan Zhenming, an official newspaper talent, inexplicably discerned something amiss and controlled himself, asking.

The woman on the bed was puzzled: "I won’t tell you."

"What’s your identity?" Yan Zhenming straightforwardly took out a notebook from his waist, recording something inside, and seeing the woman’s refusal to answer, immediately threatened viciously: "If you don’t honestly answer, I’ll dig up your family roots of eighteen generations and publish the matter of your clandestine meeting with a man in the official newspaper, along with your portrait, allowing the entire capital and even all of Great Chu to relish your ’story’.
