Unlike in my previous life, where some people simply sought to elevate their status, without demonstrating a corresponding attitude of service. "Regarding Ling Huzhong, Miss Wanyan, is there anything you can recall?" Yuchi handed the book back to Wanyan Chunjing, while simultaneously pulling out a tael of silver from the sleeve. The tael of silver was thus handed over along with the book. Wanyan Chunjing’s smile grew wider. She was clearly recalling some matters, comparing with the content in the book, then slowly said: "Young Master Ling Hu hasn’t been here for a while. Previously, when he came to listen to the music, he seemed to be in a very good mood. Looking back now, he seemed to say he was about to solve a big case. Once he solved that big case, he could redeem me from around my mother." Wanyan Chunjing said casually. She didn’t care much about people like him. She had met countless of them in her life. In any case, they just wanted to redeem her, wanted to control her in their hands. And since she had been in this business for so many years, she wasn’t that kind of person at all. It’s very strange, truly puzzling how those men thought. Yuchi also didn’t understand why these people were so obsessed with such things. Misusing public resources was a minor thing. Just running an errand like buying groceries, one could encounter a dozen men who had business dealings with his wife. Isn’t that awkward? How broad-minded must one be to accept all this? "Is there anything else? Did Ling Huzhong mention what kind of case it was?" Yuchi pursued, while smilingly sending another tael of silver over. Song Yinghan, sitting to Yuchi’s right, began to feel somewhat admiring of Wanyan Chunjing, not in a derogatory sense. Wanyan Chunjing genuinely loved her trade. She even studied her clients behind their backs. The next time the client came, even if she forgot, she could open the book and immediately recall what the client liked, thereby making the client feel respected. "Let me think." Google seaʀᴄh 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽 Wanyan Chun looked carefully at the book in front of her, thinking back and forth, constantly pondering. After communicating by whispering with her maid, she nodded, a "so that’s it" expression appearing in her eyes: "At that time, Young Master Ling Hu mentioned it was a missing persons case. You must know, sir, that missing persons aren’t considered major cases in Canglan City. Due to various reasons, every year, many people go missing. It’s impossible to thoroughly investigate them." Yuchi nodded, "demon" appeared in his mind. Even though there were surely demon inspections in Canglan City, and surely the Demon-Revealing Array existed, definitely, through this, demons were present. Each year, just accounting for losses caused by demons, there were roughly more than a hundred casualties. Including various other disappearances, the annual number of missing people was not small. Wanyan Chunjing continued: "Young Master Ling Hu said earlier, he had accepted a request from a woman on the roadside. The woman kneeled and begged him to help with her missing child, and he agreed. He boasted about his great talent, saying he could solve such matters. Sure enough, a month after it happened, he said he met an important figure from the Demon-slaying Bureau, who was also investigating the child’s disappearance case." "He implied that his relationship with the Demon-slaying Bureau had improved a lot. With the help of important figures, not only could he investigate the woman’s missing child, but other cases as well. Once he had clarified these cases, he believed he could receive a promotion in the Celestial Capital Department, getting more annual salary. He mentioned he would come at the end of the year to redeem me, which would cost no small amount—five thousand taels of silver." Yuchi and Song Yinghan exchanged a glance. There was much conveyed in Wanyan Chunjing’s words, but there was no need to conclude immediately. Let’s see if Wanyan Chunjing has anything more to say. The maid reached her hand, whispering something beside her lady. Wanyan Chunjing suddenly realized: "Oh, right, and this individual typically came in the latter half of the night. It was his first time in the first half, but in the latter half, though not the first time, he came along with others. Others came in the first half, he in the latter half." Song Yinghan was confused. First half, latter half? What does ’first time’ mean? She glanced at Yuchi beside her, but Yuchi seemed to have an expression of understanding. "Every word they say, I recognize, but why can’t I understand the sentence they make up?" Is this some sort of encrypted conversation?! Wanyan Chunjing understood Song Yinghan’s confusion. She nonchalantly explained: "My value is quite high; perhaps a single man can’t afford me. So usually, two would come together. In such scenarios, naturally, there’s the first half and latter half of the night. In the first half, I’m relatively more lively and energetic. The latter half lasts longer, but is relatively gentler." Song Yinghan understood, nodded slowly. Is there really such a saying? It’s the first time she’s heard of it. "Sorry for the embarrassing words," Wanyan Chunjing said. "Not at all, not at all," Song Yinghan quickly shook her head. Today really broadened her horizons. She previously had no idea there were such unwritten rules. Truly astonishing.
