Rong Heng still chose to accept Mingshu's explanation that obviously seemed like a bluff.
Don't ask, if asked, it's because the other party has more people.
...He had no second option.
At that moment, Helan Lian and her group had also been attracted by the commotion below, and the two groups faced off against each other, the atmosphere somewhat eerie.
Behind Rong Heng, his men had taken too much of the drugging agent and were still unconscious, meaning he was essentially on his own.
But as the saying goes, appear weak when you are strong.
Rong Heng fell silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Mingshu—it was clear that this girl, who claimed to be the innkeeper's wife, was in cahoots with that group of suspicious-looking traffickers!
And among this group, Mingshu seemed the easiest to talk to and to have more say.
His expression remained calm, with only a hint of weariness between his brows, "So, you're really not traffickers? And this place isn't a shady inn?"
