The door opened silently, and the six slaves in the house thought that someone had come to deliver dinner, but unexpectedly, they were greeted by a completely unfamiliar figure. Fear instantly gripped their hearts, and the six people huddled together like a frightened flock of sheep, their eyes full of trembling and fear, staring at the uninvited guest.

Qian Yunqing's eyes wandered over their thin bodies, and finally stopped at the rough but colorful cloth they were wearing. He tilted his head and asked the gatekeeper beside him with a hint of curiosity in his voice: "Have these slaves always been wrapped in these cloths?"

"Yes, sir, without interruption."

The gatekeeper replied respectfully, with a hint of confusion in his tone.

Although the cloth was simple, it was almost the only covering for these slaves. They dared not, nor were they willing to take it off.

What's more, the colors of these fabrics are so bright and eye-catching that even in the darkest corners, you can capture a glimpse of vibrant light, which makes people feel happy.

This kind of thought is not only felt by outsiders, but is also a great psychological comfort to ordinary people who work all day long.

"Continue to monitor their movements closely."

After leaving these words, Qian Yunqing did not stay any longer. He turned around and left, heading towards the inner courtyard with firm steps, with a clear goal in mind - to find Qian Yingjun.

Just like what happened before, Qian Yunqing was once again blocked outside by the strong smell of gunpowder in the room and could only wait patiently.

About a quarter of an hour later, the room finally calmed down and he pushed the door open.

The moment he entered the room, Qian Yunqing's gaze unconsciously drifted towards the inner room, as if he was looking for something.

Qian Yingjun keenly caught the subtle change in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. He didn't care, nor did he expose it. He just asked calmly: "What's the situation?"

"not yet."

Qian Yunqing reported truthfully.

Hearing this, Qian Yingjun raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes: "Observe for another two days. If everything is still fine after two days, activate the backup plan."

"As ordered."

Qian Yunqing responded respectfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, the pearl curtain in the inner room swayed slightly, and a woman walked out slowly. Compared with the woman he saw last time, she was even more enchanting and charming, and every movement she made revealed a captivating charm.

The woman's eyes were as cold as stars. She glanced around with contempt and finally set her gaze on Qian Yunqing. Then she walked straight to Qian Yingjun, sat on his lap in an extremely charming posture, and put her soft arms around his neck.

"Master~" she called tenderly, her voice so sweet that it could make one's bones go soft.

Qian Yunqing swallowed subconsciously. Faced with such a scene, he felt indescribable embarrassment.

Qian Yingjun noticed his embarrassment and smiled contemptuously, "You can go down first."

Qian Yunqing felt a little disappointed, but he didn't object and turned away silently. As soon as he stepped out of the door, Qian Yingjun's deep voice came from behind him:

"After the task is completed, your reward will naturally be indispensable."

Qian Yunqing felt warm at heart when he heard this. He immediately turned around and solemnly promised Qian Yingjun: "Master, please rest assured. I will definitely live up to your trust."

When he turned around, his eyes unconsciously slid towards the charming woman again. The woman seemed to sense something, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She whispered: "Master, you don't want to give her to me as a prize, do you?"

She had heard that the young master of the Qian family was fond of women and was willing to give the women around him to his subordinates. The most favored one among them was the one who had just left.

The man's strange habits were exactly the same as his master's. He always liked to give women as gifts to others.

In the eyes of this group of powerful people, they seemed to be objects that could be disposed of at will, which made them feel humiliated and helpless, but they could only endure it silently, hoping to enjoy more time with Qian Yingjun.

After all, he was quite generous and considerate when treating these women.

Qian Yingjun gently pinched the woman's cheek, with a meaningful smile on his face: "If you want me to keep you, you have to give me a reason that is enough to make my heart beat."

Far from being angry, the woman giggled, with a challenging light flashing in her eyes: "I will do my best to satisfy you so much that you can't let me go."

For the next two days, Qian Yunqing waited faithfully outside the door.

The agreed time was about to run out. Just when he was about to give up hope, a subordinate rushed out of the room in a panic: "Butler Qian, those slaves are all sick. They... look..."

Qian Yunqing pushed the door open impatiently without waiting for the other party to finish speaking.

The room was dim, and he immediately ordered, "Light more candles!"

His men hurriedly did as they were told, and for a moment, the room was brightly lit.

However, when the bright light illuminated the five slaves, the faces of all the people present suddenly changed, and they all stepped back, with a hint of awe in their fear, fearing that they would be affected by this strange disease.

Even the well-informed Qian Yunqing felt a chill in his heart when he saw the horrifying red rashes covering the five people's faces.

"How did it become like this?"

Qian Yunqing murmured, with doubts in his mind.

The poison he had administered was intended to cause an unbearable itch that would be fatal after a few weeks, but the current situation was clearly different from what he had expected.

Perhaps the dyes in the fabrics and the poison produced an unknown chemical reaction, causing this sudden change.

However, this may be a pleasant surprise for the Qian family.

Because this abnormal reaction is more intense than simple itching, it will undoubtedly make customers who buy fabrics hate Sanbao Dyeing Factory.

Once the situation escalates, the impact will be more far-reaching.

Qian Yunqing quickly regained his composure and ordered the guards: "Keep a close eye on them and don't get too close."

"Yes!"

Everyone obeyed the order, and even though no one mentioned it, everyone knew the rule.

Then, Qian Yunqing rushed to Qian Yingjun's residence.

However, as soon as he reached the gate, he was stopped by the servant at the gate.

"Manager Qian, the young master has already rested. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to disturb him at this time."

There was a hint of dissuasion in the servant's words.

Qian Yunqing frowned slightly, but did not force his way in.

He knew very well that this must have been arranged by Qian Yingjun.

Given the young master's casual personality, no one would dare to stop visitors unless there was an order in advance.

He remained silent and stood quietly outside the gate waiting.

An hour passed, and just as the night was getting darker, a woman in a black robe hurried away.

Qian Yunqing only had time to take a quick glance. Although he couldn't see the woman's face clearly, the fragrance on her body made him feel familiar.

There was an indescribable charm in the woman's back, which surprised Qian Yunqing a little, but on second thought, it seemed to make sense.

The young master didn't even shy away from his elders at home, no wonder he was so cautious towards outsiders.

Finally, he stepped into the house and found another woman massaging Qian Yingjun's legs and feet.

"What's the emergency at this late hour?"

Qian Yingjun spoke in an unhappy tone, obviously his rest was disturbed.

"It's done."
