“It was a mercenary group called ‘Moon Behind the Clouds’ that did the job,” Wu Jinhai ended his explanation as he revealed another piece of information that managed to surprise Bai Chen and Emperor Wu Shun.

No, Bai Chen was not surprised because he knew something about the mercenary group that Wu Jinhai had just mentioned. In fact, he had never heard of the group before, but he was still stunned after learning that Wu Jinhai now knew a lot about what happened during the Beast Hunting Event that was held in the Forbidden Forest a week ago.

He was different from the shocked Wu Shun because the Emperor knew the group quite well. “That group consists of humans and werewolves who are not only after large sums of money but also want to wreak havoc on both Wu Li and Dong Lang,” Wu Shun muttered in disbelief. “But, how did you find that information, Xiao Hai? After the Beast Hunting Event was canceled, you chose to stay in Dong Lang as Zhu Ge, right? I’m pretty sure you don’t have time to gather information about those people.”

When Bai Chen knew nothing about the mercenary group, the Emperor gave him new information, and not only that, but the Emperor also helped him voice his curiosity about how Wu Jinhai managed to gather detailed information about what happened in the Forbidden Forest a week ago.

Now, Bai Chen and the Emperor both gazed at Wu Jinhai, and the man in red calmly answered his father’s question, “It was Yu Ming who conducted the investigation, and he reported to me what he found from his treacherous investigation.”

.....

“A treacherous investigation?” The Emperor parroted. “What do you mean Yu Ming conducted a treacherous investigation?”

Curiosity not only colored Wu Shun’s face but also appeared on Bai Chen’s face. Thus, Wu Jinhai started to explain what Yu Ming was doing before the man managed to provide him with any important information.

[“So, do you think I’m pretty enough, Lord Hong?” Sitting on the dark-skinned burly man’s lap, the man in pink used his smooth palm to caress the burly man’s rough face.

The burly man had dark skin, and it probably wouldn’t show if he blushed, but he had obviously become even more nervous after receiving such treatment from the pink-robed man.

“You... you are quite beautiful, Yu laoban!” The burly man answered the question nervously. “I have heard about the Red Pavilion before today, and some of my men have even come to visit your place. I also heard how beautiful the boss of the Red Pavilion is, but only today can I prove that it wasn’t just a rumor that the boss is one of the most beautiful men in Wu Li.”

It was Yu Ming who was sitting on the burly man’s lap, and he smirked after hearing the man’s words. There were only the two of them inside the pavilion where they met for the first time today, but Yu Ming didn’t look the least bit awkward. Instead, he only became bolder as he started to move his hips to cause friction between their lower bodies. Thanks to the friction, the burly man couldn’t hold back his groans as he felt the pleasure.

“You said I was quite beautiful, but you never visited me at my place, Lord Hong,” said Yu Ming. “Is it because you don’t like men? Perhaps you feel disgusted when I do something like this to you? It’s fine if you don’t want to be my client, but I went all the way from the Red Pavilion to the Moon Behind the Clouds because I wanted to be your client, Lord Hong. Do you think you can help me?”

Yu Ming was indeed dangerous, and he kept grinding their crotch together, causing the burly man with the surname Hong to feel even more pleased that he even closed his eyes and bit his lower lip to control his pleasure.

“I-I can certainly help you, Yu laoban!” Replied the burly man as he once again opened his eyes and stared at Yu Ming with lustful eyes. “But, how can I help you? Actually, you can be my client, and I can be yours too, so please don’t hesitate to tell me what I should do for you.”

Yu Ming’s smirk grew even more after hearing the burly man’s reply, and now he wrapped his arms around the man’s neck before tugging him so the man was in his embrace now. “One of my best hares was kidnapped by a werewolf from Dong Lang, Lord Hong. Can you help me kill the werewolf and return my precious hare to the Red Pavilion?” He asked.

Now, the burly man’s cheek was pressed against Yu Ming’s chest, and he quickly answered the question, “Of course! I believe I will be able to kill that werewolf and bring your rabbit back to your place, Yu laoban! Not too long ago, a werewolf hired us to do more dangerous jobs, and we managed to do everything perfectly. If the task was just to kill werewolves, then it wouldn’t be that big of a deal. We could even cause havoc in the Forbidden Forest at that time, so such a task was like killing ants to us!”

How the man surnamed Hong confidently answered his question was enough to tell Yu Ming that the man had fallen into his trap, but he knew that he needed to do everything carefully to get the perfect result.

The man in pink stroked the back of the burly man’s head while slowly continuing to move his hips to give the man more pleasure, and carefully, he asked the man, “Sounds reassuring, but if you want to make me say ‘yes’ to become your client, you must tell me more detailed information about the person who has hired you, Lord Hong. If you dare to tell me, then I’ll be able to see that you weren’t just big-mouthed when you told me the story.”

Lord Hong once again felt immense pleasure, and he moaned again as he couldn’t think straight because of the pleasure he was feeling. In the end, he opened his mouth to reply, “That... that’s the head of the Black Werewolf Clan who has hired us! He wanted to frame the Emperor of Dong Lang and cause chaos in the empire!”]
