Xu Tong narrowed his eyes slightly. "I was wondering why this place had been cleaned so thoroughly. Looks like you just did something here that you shouldn't have."
He meant that these people had most likely been destroying bodies and erasing the evidence.
They had initially thought the room was clean because those people had only just finished cleaning the inn.
Xu Tong had wondered why something about the room had felt strange earlier.
Now that these people had shown their true colors, he belatedly realized what it was.
The floor and tabletops looked clean, but everywhere else clearly hadn't been tidied in a long time.
Earlier, the others had been diverting their attention and drawing their eyes elsewhere. They hadn't noticed such fine details, much less considered that possibility.
Although this realization came a little after the fact, it still wasn't too late to see these people for what they truly were.
After Xu Tong finished speaking, the people across from him all laughed coldly.
"Only now do you realize something's wrong? I'm afraid it's too late. Do you think you can still leave this place today?"
"You lot might be poor and penniless, but this chick looks pretty good. Selling her should fetch us a tidy sum."
At those words, Geng Shu flew into a rage. She charged over and began fighting that person.
"Do you think I'm some piece of merchandise? You think you can just sell me off whenever you please? Do any of you have what it takes?"
The woman hadn't expected Geng Shu to be so fierce. Geng Shu beat her back again and again, leaving her utterly unable to defend herself.
Seeing this, Xu Tong and the others didn't intervene. They knew Geng Shu alone was more than enough to handle these people.
