Chapter 10
“Jitan” (meaning “No Fear”) hadn’t been open for long, and its location wasn’t conspicuous, but it had quickly gained notoriety for its audacity.
It was a high-end club, accepting only members by reservation. The number of people entering each day was limited, and it could maintain absolute secrecy when necessary.
When Ling Xi called Lin Haitao to inform him of the change in plans, Lin Haitao was a bit worried that the sudden change would displease Zhang Xitan, causing him to leave in a huff.
But Ling Xi was very considerate. She sent photos of the new escorts to Lin Haitao’s phone: a Western model and a pure-looking schoolgirl. Zhang Xitan glanced at them and said with a smile, “It’s all the same to me.”
So everything went smoothly. As night fell and the city lights illuminated the streets, Lin Haitao brought the second son of the Zhang family to “Jitan”. They entered through the VIP passage, going directly to the luxurious private room on the third floor.
As usual, their friends welcomed Zhang Xitan back first. This time, everyone present was tactful. They toasted, sang songs, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
At the same time, Li Qinyue, under Ling Xi’s urging, left the house. Unlike the past, in order to present herself as someone going to “explore a new world”, she wore a casual suit, her makeup clean and sharp, with only a touch of smoky eye shadow.
Her hair was loosely tied up, and two buttons of her shirt were undone, giving her a seductive yet aloof look.
Zhuo Zhi went down the mountain with her. For convenience of conversation, they were still sitting in the back seat. Halfway through the ride, she couldn’t help but nudge Li Qinyue with her elbow and say, “President Li, you look so good.”
“Really?” Li Qinyue smiled, her eyes slanted, the curve of her lips just right, alluring without being excessive, the most captivating expression.
Zhuo Zhi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly frowned, “You haven’t forgotten our main objective, have you?”
“What else is there besides the main objective?” Li Qinyue pretended not to understand.
“Don’t get carried away and…” Zhuo Zhi pursed her lips, not finishing her sentence.
“And what?” Li Qinyue stared at her.
Zhuo Zhi paused for a long time, struggling with her words, but still felt the need to advise her, though her wording was much gentler than when they first met, “And get lost in the pleasures of the moment.”
Li Qinyue leaned against the car window, laughing for a long time.
When it was time for them to split up, Miss Li still kindly patted Zhuo Zhi’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not interested in women that way.”
Zhuo Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly, “I thought you rich people didn’t care about gender.”
“Heh,” Li Qinyue pinched her cheek, “That’s right, we rich people care about love.”
After three rounds of drinks, it was time for relaxation.
Zhang Xitan didn’t drink much. No one dared to force him to drink, but this slightly tipsy state was the most comfortable.
It blurred his senses, making everything seem more beautiful, but it didn’t affect his actions. He could do whatever he wanted.
The Western model and the schoolgirl had been serving him for most of the evening. After drinking and being touched, his desire was burning. Zhang Xitan waved at Lin Haitao and said, “It’s noisy, I need some peace and quiet.”
Naturally, no one stopped him. Lin Haitao quickly opened the door and led him to the innermost part of the club, the VIP presidential suite, where everything was prepared for his enjoyment.
Zhang Xitan leaned on the Western model as they entered the room. He turned around, pressed her down, and gave her a passionate kiss, reeking of alcohol.
Lin Haitao helped close the door but deliberately didn’t lock it. He walked into the corridor, lowered his voice, and said into the phone, “It’s starting.”
Ling Xi pressed on the earpiece in her ear, turned around, and smiled at Li Qinyue, “Is it too noisy here?”
They were in the Left Bank dance floor on the second floor of “Jitan”, where, besides female patrons looking for female partners, there were only hot and energetic dancers.
Li Qinyue’s gaze was fixed on a corner, not in a hurry, “It’s alright.”
Ling Xi followed her gaze, “Have you found someone you like?”
Sitting in the corner was a girl with tattoos, wearing hot pants and a tank top. Her hair was dyed in the trendy smoky blue color, looking both rebellious and eye-catching.
Ling Xi smiled and said, “So you like this type, no wonder.”
Li Qinyue didn’t deny it, only said, “I’m just looking.”
“It would be a shame to come to ‘Jitan’ just to look,” Ling Xi handed a glass of wine to Li Qinyue, “There are many things you won’t understand if you don’t try them.”
“Hmm,” Li Qinyue took the wine, took a sip, and lowered her head to play with her phone, “Wait a little longer.”
Ling Xi racked her brains trying to guess what Li Qinyue was waiting for. There was indeed no rush, but Zhang Xitan might not last long, and she wanted Li Qinyue to see the most exciting scene.
Thinking about excitement, a light bulb went off in Ling Xi’s head. Miss Li always liked excitement, but she was also someone who cared about face. In the years they had known each other, Ling Xi had never seen her take the initiative to hit on anyone, it was always others who threw themselves at her.
So now, she was waiting for the other side to take the initiative.
Ling Xi sighed inwardly, got up, and called over a waiter, asking him to send a glass of wine with strong suggestive meaning to the blue-haired girl, saying that it was from President Li.
People came to “Jitan” to find partners. With Li Qinyue’s looks, as long as she extended an olive branch, no one in this room would probably refuse.
Everything was under control. As the blue-haired girl walked towards Li Qinyue with a glass of wine, Zhang Xitan was impatiently undoing his belt in the suite on the third floor.
The Western model took care of the upper body, while Zhang Xitan held the schoolgirl’s hand, asking her to take care of the lower body.
The alcohol made his head spin, the heat made him lose his mind, and there was a faint fragrance in the air, urging him on.
At that moment, the schoolgirl suddenly pulled her hand back and dodged.
Zhang Xitan was about to lose it. He pushed the Western model aside and reached for the schoolgirl who had dodged.
The schoolgirl was wearing a JK(high school student) uniform, with long, straight black hair and big, innocent eyes.
The moment Zhang Xitan was about to touch her, she let out a soft cry and ran away, her short skirt bouncing, revealing two long, white, slender legs.
Paired with knee socks and small leather shoes, her half-hearted resistance only fueled his animalistic desires.
Zhang Xitan chased after her, grabbing her uniform jacket, but she struggled, breaking free from his grasp and dodging away.
White shirt, plaid collar. Zhang Xitan tried to grab her again, but the schoolgirl’s evasions became incredibly agile, one step, two steps, incredibly rhythmic, like a butterfly circling around, beautiful to behold, but impossible to catch its wings.
Zhang Xitan gradually became agitated. He stopped his staggering steps and shouted, “Stop right there!”
The schoolgirl whimpered, “I don’t want to.”
“It won’t be fun if you keep running away. Come here, I’ll give you whatever you want,” Zhang Xitan tried to coax her. What he couldn’t have was the best. He had even forgotten about the Western model who was left aside.
The schoolgirl continued whimpering, “I don’t want to, I don’t want to play anymore, this isn’t right.”
“What do you want then?” Zhang Xitan asked.
“I want to go home,” the schoolgirl blinked her big eyes, tears streaming down her face, like a trafficked woman.
“Damn, is this script so interesting?” Zhang Xitan was a little excited, “‘Jitan’ really lives up to its name.”
“I want to go home, I want to go home,” the schoolgirl shook her head, mumbling, “I’m only selling wine, I’m not selling my body.”
“Hahahaha…” Zhang Xitan laughed. As he lunged forward again, he saw a small whip among the props by the bed and grabbed it.
The schoolgirl looked terrified. As he pressed down on her, she pushed him hard, with great force, causing Zhang Xitan to fall back, his elbow hitting the leg of the table, a sharp pain shooting through him.
Zhang Xitan completely lost his temper. He swung the whip in his hand, hitting the schoolgirl. She screamed.
Li Qinyue’s phone beeped, indicating a file transfer.
The blue-haired girl was sitting on the armrest of the sofa, leaning down and whispering in her ear. Li Qinyue wrapped her arm around the girl’s neck and said, “Let’s go upstairs and talk.”
This was the cue Ling Xi had been waiting for. She immediately led the way, going up to the third floor VIP reception area and walking towards the target room.
However, as soon as they reached the corridor, the door of the presidential suite suddenly flew open. The schoolgirl, with disheveled clothes and hair, stumbled out, screaming as she ran.
“What happened?” Li Qinyue frowned and released the blue-haired girl from her embrace.
The schoolgirl ran straight towards Li Qinyue, grabbed her arm, her face full of terror, tears streaming down her face.
“Help me, save me. I don’t want to, I don’t want to…”
Ling Xi looked concerned, “What happened?”
“He hit me, he hit me…” the schoolgirl glanced back, revealing Zhang Xitan at that moment.
He was also disheveled, his face flushed, looking crazed.
Their eyes met. Zhang Xitan didn’t recognize them, his mind only on the escaping schoolgirl.
Ling Xi was overjoyed, feeling that God was on her side, adding fuel to the fire at every moment.
Li Qinyue’s expression gradually changed from shock to anger, and then, with a desperate and determined look, she grabbed the schoolgirl’s wrist and pulled her behind her, “Let’s see if he dares to touch you again.”
Ling Xi was ecstatic. But in the next moment, an urgent message came through her earpiece, saying that the Municipal Bureau was conducting a surprise inspection.
Ling Xi stomped her foot in frustration and grabbed Li Qinyue’s shoulder, “Qinyue, we have a situation, let’s go.”
When Li Qinyue was stubborn, she was as stubborn as a mule. She didn’t move an inch, her expression resolute, like a righteous hero rescuing a damsel in distress, “Even if the heavens fall today, I’m not leaving.”
Ling Xi whispered, “The police are coming, it’s the real police this time.”
The moment the schoolgirl heard the word “police,” she abruptly let go of Li Qinyue’s clothes and dashed towards the stairwell, “Police uncle! Help me!! Help me!!!”
She ran like a rabbit, fast and agile, and no one could stop her.
Ling Xi finally realized something was wrong. Her mind was in a mess, and she froze in place.
Li Qinyue flung her sleeve, ready to leave now, “What the hell is going on?”
Zhang Xitan, probably high on drugs, stumbled past them, still trying to catch the little rabbit.
He didn’t catch the rabbit, but instead ran straight into the fully armed police.
In this pleasure den hidden in the dark corners of the city, at the most indulgent time, the music stopped, the lights came on, and the police loudspeaker blared, sending chills down everyone’s spines.
The first battle of the “Anti-Pornography and Illegal Publications Special Operation 1212” launched by the Municipal Bureau was the raid on “Jitan”, a notorious prostitution den. Cameras were set up, men and women of all shapes and sizes covered themselves with clothes and lowered their heads, those who should squat in the corner squatted in the corner, those who should line up to leave lined up to leave.
No matter how well you had managed things before, without a strong backing, once you were caught as an example, you would be made an example of, with no chance of survival.
The investors hiding behind the scenes lost everything and had to spend a fortune to settle the matter. This was the first step in Li Qinyue’s revenge plan.
Amidst the chaos in “Jitan”, Li Qinyue strode to the back door and nodded at the police guarding the door. She was allowed to pass without any trouble.
Zhuo Zhi was waiting in the car outside. As soon as Li Qinyue got in, the car drove away from this troubled place.
She threw her phone to Zhuo Zhi, “Check the video and send it to Director Li.”
Zhuo Zhi connected the phone to the computer and checked the video content, her fists gradually clenching.
Li Qinyue glanced at her and said, “It’s fake, don’t get worked up.”
“I know, I know this time was staged,” Zhuo Zhi stared at the screaming girl in the video, “But in places we can’t see, this kind of thing happens every day.”
Li Qinyue’s joy of victory was dampened by her words. She stared at Zhuo Zhi’s profile, illuminated by the computer screen, and said after a moment, “Today, we destroyed a den, which may indirectly save some people like this.”
“You know more about this, don’t you, Sister?” Zhuo Zhi turned to look at her, “Can we report them every day?”
Li Qinyue wanted to laugh at her naive words, but she couldn’t. Zhuo Zhi’s brows furrowed tightly. She quickly realized she was being unrealistic and continued to look at the computer, rephrasing her question, “We’ll still intervene if we encounter this kind of thing in the future, right?”
Li Qinyue could make this promise. She said, “Yes.”
Zhuo Zhi finished checking the video and sent it to the email address Li Qinyue had given her. The topic was heavy, and the car fell silent.
Li Qinyue had drunk quite a bit of alcohol tonight, and Ling Xi had spiked her drink, so her thoughts were becoming muddled.
She reached out and grabbed Zhuo Zhi’s hand, which was right beside her, and said, “Talk to me.”
Zhuo Zhi’s mind was full of thoughts of fighting for justice, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Will this video bring down that Zhang Xitan?”
“Of course not,” Li Qinyue smiled, “At most, it’ll just get him a beating. If the Zhang family can’t even handle this, how can they survive in our circle?”
“Then what’s the point?” Zhuo Zhi frowned again.
Li Qinyue looked at her like that and poked her between her brows, “It can protect our undercover agent, and it can also make Zhang Xitan think that tonight’s embarrassing incident was all planned by Lin Haitao and Ling Xi.”
“Huh?” Zhuo Zhi’s eyes lit up, “This is the second step you mentioned before.”
“Right, the video was taken by a hidden camera in the room. When Zhang Xitan comes to investigate, those two won’t have a good time,” Li Qinyue looked at Zhuo Zhi, “They tried to set a trap, but they ended up falling into it themselves. Let them fight amongst themselves.”
“Such a clever way to borrow a knife to kill someone!” Zhuo Zhi almost wanted to applaud Li Qinyue.
Li Qinyue smiled, her gaze unconsciously sliding down to Zhuo Zhi’s pink, moist lips.
Zhuo Zhi’s low spirits came and went quickly. She was happy again now, smiling brightly and flattering her softly, “You’re so amazing, Sister. You’ve been planning everything from start to finish this time. I just made a few phone calls and sent a few messages, I’m so useless…”
“You’re useful,” Li Qinyue stared at her opening and closing lips, her voice low.
Zhuo Zhi was completely oblivious to the danger. She leaned closer, her eyes sparkling, and asked Li Qinyue, “What use? Do you have any backup plans, Sister? This time, we must…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Li Qinyue suddenly raised her hand and covered her mouth.
Zhuo Zhi was silent for two seconds, then looked warily at the car windows, whispering, “President Li, what’s wrong?”
Li Qinyue didn’t let go of her hand and leaned back in her seat, looking dejected. When she spoke again, her voice was a little hoarse, “We’ll talk about it when we get back.”
