"Move in."
With that command, a large number of police officers raided the Jile Nightclub.
"Manager, they’re here to search."
Zhao Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes, "Why panic? We run our business by the book. Follow to greet the incoming officers."
Zhao Xiaoxiao walked out of the office into the nightclub lobby and her gaze swept imdiately to Jin Beibei in uniform. It seed like trouble had co calling, but Zhao Xiaoxiao’s heart remained largely undisturbed—she had seen plenty of these minor confrontations.
"Officers, what brings you this way?"
Han Dong glanced at Zhao Xiaoxiao, Zhao Xiaoxiao, the general manager of Jile, one of Kang Yu’s right-hand n, nicknad Smiling Buddha, was particularly adept at mingling and swordplay, always handling external relations.
Don’t be fooled by his chubby appearance, and his laugh that resembled Maitreya Buddha, anyone who underestimated this fatso was bound to pay dearly.
"Manager Zhao, we received a tip-off that there are so things that shouldn’t be hidden here, so we ca to take a look."
"Oh, is that so? Well, please feel free to search. Our nightclub has always operated legally, never...!"
Before Zhao Xiaoxiao could finish talking, a police officer rushed over, "Report, we found sothing."
"Spit it out."
"We found contraband in one of the private rooms, and it’s not a small amount."
Hearing this, Han Dong turned to look at Zhao Xiaoxiao, "Manager Zhao, what was it you said a mont ago, about operating legally? Are these illicit goods part of your ’legal operations’ as well?"
Zhao Xiaoxiao’s expression darkened, and before she could justify herself, Han Dong cut her off, "Manager Zhao, why don’t you accompany us back to the station and explain it there?"
"Search this place thoroughly, top to bottom; make sure there are no omissions."
"Yes!"
Han Dong hadn’t expected to find evidence so easily, and couldn’t help but wonder—was this also arranged by Li Feng?
Who exactly was this guy?
"Bai Lang, there’s trouble."
On a private clinic’s hospital bed, Bai Lang had just finished getting his wound dressed and was wrapping it with a bandage, when one of his subordinates rushed in, flustered.
"What now, has the warehouse been hit?"
"Not that, it’s over at Jile—Boss Laugh was taken away."
"Oh, what happened to Zhao Xiaoxiao?"
"Seems like they found contraband in the Jile club and took Manager Zhao in for questioning."
Hearing this, Bai Lang’s brow furrowed and before he could speak, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, he gasped sharply.
"Hello, young master Yu."
"Where are you?"
"I’m in the clinic. Young Master Yu, I didn’t have anything to do with Zhao Xiaoxiao’s situation. I wouldn’t get confused about priorities at a critical ti like this."
Bai Lang quickly explained, and Kang Yu on the other end of the line replied with a grim face, "Fine, I believe you, but I don’t want to see Zhao Chaotian in trouble either. Also, find out who is behind this."
The phone hung up, Bai Lang’s face imdiately darkened with anger as he threw the phone to the ground, "Fuck."
"Boss."
The subordinate next to him tentatively looked towards the enraged Bai Lang, who took a deep breath and looked up at his underling.
"Go find out if it was one of our own who did this."
Bai Lang certainly wanted to kill Zhao Chaotian, even to take out Zhao Xiaoxiao, but he knew it was impossible. Kang Yu allowed for competition with Zhao Xiaoxiao but only to a certain extent; going for the kill would only backfire.
Just like last night’s incident.
If it hadn’t involved Zhao Xiaoxiao, the re suspicion last night would have been enough to take down that kid. How could it have ended in nothing?
"Yes, boss."
Pull one hair and move the whole body. Li Feng, the stick stirring the pot, had triggered so changes to everything.
But Li Feng, the instigator, was fast asleep in a shipping container.
"Sister, I need to use the bathroom."
The twin sister in the upper bunk bit her cherry lips and spoke softly to her sister beside her. Normally, going to the bathroom was a trivial matter, but the presence of a grown man made it inconvenient.
The twin sister had also been holding it in for a long ti. She carefully climbed to the edge of the bed and looked down at the lower bunk. Seeing that Li Feng seed to be fast asleep, she gestured for her sister to co over.
"Co."
The twin sister climbed down the ladder quietly, then caught her sister.
"Mm!"
Li Feng turned over, causing the sisters to shiver with fright. Fortunately, seeing that he hadn’t woken up, they patted their tender chests and tiptoed to the end of the container.
"Sister, he won’t hear us, will he?"
"No, he sleeps like a log. He can’t hear anything."
"Mm."
The twin sister couldn’t hold it any longer and began to relieve herself. After a mont, she exhaled a relieved breath. Once the sister was done, it was the elder twin’s turn.
Creak.
Just then, a sour noise emanated from the bunk bed, scaring them.
"It’s ."
"You’re going to scare soone to death."
"I need to pee, too. I’ve been holding it in for so long, I didn’t dare move."
"Ah, what were the people outside thinking? Why would they let such a pervert in? It’s like throwing us to the wolves."
A young girl sighed in exasperation.
"It’s all the sa, being thrown to the wolves sooner or later. What’s the difference?"
"Sister, are we really going to be sold off?"
"Mm-hmm, what else? If it were a kidnapping for ransom, those people outside would have let us call our families by now. But ever since we were drugged and brought here, no one has co to ask about us."
"Clearly, this isn’t just a simple kidnapping. Plus, from those conversations we overheard from those people outside, isn’t it obvious? We’re going to be sent off as playthings to soone."
"How can they do this? I want my mom and dad."
"We’ve got to find a way to escape."
The slightly older girl bit her cherry lips as she spoke.
"How do we escape? We’re locked in here, and there are so many people guarding outside. Just the few of us?"
Another girl had already lost hope.
Escape.
How to escape?
When this was said, the other three girls also fell silent. Indeed, it was easy to talk about escaping, but putting it into action was another story.
"You guys want to escape?"
"Yeah," the twin sister responded without thinking, but then she realized that the voice sounded like that of a man.
"Ah!"
"When did you wake up?"
"Ah, don’t co over here."
Li Feng looked at the "overly frightened" young girls. Was he really that scary? "You guys go up first, and then we can talk."
"He heard us."
The twin sister’s face turned red. She stole a glance at Li Feng, who was still lying on the bed, her expression a mix of shyness and confusion.
"Stop it; I can’t do it anymore. Can you ask him to cover his ears?"
"Fine, I’ve covered my ears. I promise I won’t hear anything."
Li Feng’s overt assurance made the four girls whispering amongst themselves blush and turn red in the neck.
