Chapter 436: I Am Just a Helper at Jin Fresh Building

The two brothers finally entered the backyard of Jin Fresh Building and casually closed the gate.

They didn't rush to interrogate the people but instead looked around.

Logically, the backyard of an inn should be used for storage and as dormitories for the helpers.

Mo Jiuye scanned the area but saw no sign of any storage.

Without even preparing ingredients, how could this place be running an inn?

Especially for a famous high-end inn like Jin Fresh Building, not only were there no ingredients prepared, but the food served was also so perfunctory, clearly indicating impure motives behind its establishment.

Mo Jiuye only gave a cursory glance and did not check each room individually.

Just as he turned to question those people, he suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound coming from what seemed to be a woodshed behind him.

Mo Chuhan also heard it.

"Brother Nine, you stay here and watch them. I'll go take a look."

Opening the door of the woodshed, a pungent smell of feces and urine instantly filled the air.

Mo Chuhan instinctively covered his nose and mouth.

The woodshed was quite spacious, and inside, it was in disarray. The most noticeable were an old woman and a young girl lying on the ground.

The smell of feces and urine came from these two, indicating they had been confined here for some time.

Mo Jiuye had used Wang Lin's family to trick him, and Mo Chuhan had been present.

Looking at the old woman and the young girl, the old woman appeared to be in her fifties, and the little girl was about seven or eight years old. They must be Wang Lin's mother and daughter.

Wang Lin committed murder, but his family members were innocent. As a constable, Mo Chuhan felt it was his duty to rescue them.

Moreover, after seeing these two, he believed that Wang Lin had killed the boss purely out of necessity, otherwise who would kill someone and deliberately let the constables catch them?

Both were very weak, with dry, cracked lips, clearly signs of not having eaten for days.

Mo Chuhan turned and walked to the kitchen.

The kitchen was some distance from the alley where the fight took place. The two chefs inside were unaware of what had happened outside. With no business, they were standing there chatting leisurely.

Seeing a stranger enter, they immediately asked, "Who are you? Don't wander around the kitchen."

Mo Chuhan just glanced at the two men and knew they were in league with the other helpers.

Therefore, without hesitation, he went forward, knocked them out, and tied them up in the backyard before returning to fetch two bowls of water for Wang Lin's family to drink.

The old woman, who was already in poor health, had been unconscious. It was unclear if she was still in a coma. The little girl was slightly better off; the sobbing sound had come from her.

In this era, people adhered to the principle of gender separation. Although the old woman was lying on the ground, Mo Chuhan couldn't easily help her up. He could only let the little girl drink some water first and then try to feed the old woman.

The old woman appeared to be unconscious but was not entirely without awareness. She could swallow the water the little girl fed her.

After a few sips, the old woman finally opened her eyes.

She looked at Mo Chuhan, and tears streamed down her face. Weakly, she said, "Thank you, young man, for saving us."

As she spoke, the old woman seemed to remember something and her eyes filled with fear.

"Young man, everyone here is vicious and terrifying. You should leave quickly!"

She and her granddaughter had been confined here for several days. Although no one had tortured them, no one had given them any food or water either.

She could also hear the commotion outside, which clearly indicated that these were not regular businesspeople. Sometimes, their conversations revolved around violence and killing.

Thinking of this, the old woman was worried that her savior might be in danger, so she warned him.

Mo Chuhan did not heed her advice to leave but instead asked, "What relation is Wang Lin to you?"

Hearing this name, the old woman struggled to sit up.

"Young man, do you know my son? Where is he now? Is he still alive?"

Wang Lin was imprisoned in the county jail for murder, and indeed, as he had said, it was because his mother and daughter were being held hostage that he had acted out of necessity.

The old woman was already very weak, and Mo Chuhan was concerned that telling her the truth might be too much for her to bear. If he had to inform her, he would wait until she was a bit stronger.

Mo Chuhan's eyes flickered for a moment before he stood up.

"Wang Lin is still alive. You don't need to worry about him."

To prevent the old woman from asking more questions, Mo Chuhan chose to leave the woodshed.

Even if it wasn't to avoid the question, he needed to leave anyway, as there were many others who needed to be questioned outside.

Although Mo Jiuye did not accompany Mo Chuhan to the woodshed, he heard every word of the conversation inside.

Thus, when Eight Brother returned to his side, he had nothing to ask.

The two brothers exchanged a glance and, in unison, approached the helper who had initially blocked their way.

The helper had been beaten badly by the brothers and was still grimacing in pain.

Mo Jiuye showed no mercy, grabbing the man by the collar and lifting him up.

"Speak, who are you?"

The waiter had already been intimidated by the brothers' skills and knew he had picked the wrong fight. Now, being lifted like a chick, he was half-scared out of his wits.

"I... I am just a waiter from Jin Fresh Building..."

Given their behavior, Mo Jiuye found it hard to believe his lies.

Before the waiter could react, Mo Jiuye had already broken his other wrist.

The pain nearly made the waiter faint, but Mo Jiuye would not give him such an opportunity.

He switched from grabbing the waiter's collar to pulling his hair, which quickly brought him back to his senses.

The waiter, who had been so arrogant in the alley, now cried for mercy.

"S-Sir, please stop... I am indeed from Jin Fresh Building, but I'm not just a waiter. I'm a specially trained enforcer..."

The idea that Jin Fresh Building had specially trained enforcers did not surprise the Mo brothers. After all, with its large business, it was normal to have a few strong men to keep the peace and prevent troublemakers. However, having an enforcer work as a waiter was quite unusual.

From the waiter's words, Mo Jiuye deduced that the other waiter dressed like him and the guards were also enforcers of Jin Fresh Building.

Jin Fresh Building opening two branches in such a desolate place, with no sign of actual business, was already suspicious. Adding the fact that enforcers were working as waiters, it was clear that their purpose for setting up here was far from pure.

Mo Jiuye continued to press, "Why did Jin Fresh Building open two branches in such a desolate place in Northwest?

Why did you have enforcers working as waiters?

And where is your manager?"

The Schu family had spread such a wide net in Northwest; it was impossible that only a few enforcers and assassins were here. Even if Xue Jinchuan, the owner, had not come himself, he would at least have sent a capable subordinate to oversee operations.
