In the presidential suite of a hotel in Flower City, Ye Mengâs whole face was painted red.
The relatively chubby guy beside her continued exploring her body. Though tired, he was extremely satisfied.
Ye Meng pried his hand away. âStop touching me! Havenât you had enough?â
The man moved nearer to her. âNo. Youâre too attractive that I canât get enough of you.â
The manâs name was Gao Bao, the President of Rainbow Entertainment. The company had control over nearly half of the nightclubs in Flower City. Other than that, they also owned popular arcades, internet cafes, and some hidden âtea houses.â These âtea housesâ werenât meant for tea parties, however, they were meant for gambling, and the operators gained profit from the said activity.
The âtea housesâ ran by others were always closed down by the authorities, but Gao Baoâs remained intact since they were able to avoid the police raid repeatedly.
Whenever Gao Bao was drunk, he would start calling himself the King of the Night and the underworld ruler of Flower City. Although it sounded exaggerated, it was actually the truth. He indeed had control over the underworld as well as the gangsters of the city.
If he did not possess such powers, Ye Meng definitely would not have jumped into bed with him.
âBao, make sure to get rid of that b*tch Ding Mi for me! I donât want to see her face ever again!â
ordered Ye Meng harshly.
âDonât worry. This is my territory. Getting rid of someone is a piece of cake for me,â Gao Bao assured.
âBut it has been a while since she got arrested. Why is there no news regarding her sentence?â asked Ye Meng worriedly.
âBecause there are other people that try to take advantage of this incident too.â
Gao Bao leaned towards the bedside to take a cigarette and lit it up.
Ye Meng hated people who smoked in bed, but she was scared that she would get into trouble with Gao Bao if she voiced out her dissatisfaction, so she merely frowned instead.
âIâm not the only one with that wish? Who else is there?â she asked excitedly.
Serves her right. She deserves to be hated by everyone.
âI canât tell you this,â Gao Bao replied.
âHey, not fair. Iâve already given you my body and yet you canât tell me everything?â
âSome things are better left in the dark. Itâs for your own good.â
âFine. Hmph!â Ye Meng pretended to be angry.
âDonât be mad, baby. All you have to know is that Ding Mi wonât ever have a chance to see daylight anymore.â Gao Bao leaned towards her again, reeking of cigarettes.
Ye Meng immediately stopped him. âNo. I need some rest. Iâm still a bit worried, Bao.â
âWhat are you worried about? Do you think Iâm not capable enough to ruin a mere woman? If I canât do that, then I wouldnât have survived this long in Flower City.â
âThatâs not what I meant. Iâm just worried because Ding Mi is signed under Star Entertainment, and that company is under Nanshi Corporationâ¦â
âOh. You couldâve just said that youâre worried that I canât get rid of Nan Chen.â
âThatâs not what I meant either. I believe in your power, Bao. Otherwise, I wouldnât have run to you for help. But the Nan family is very influential in this city,â explained Ye Meng cautiously.
âReally? Then tell me why Ding Mi is still in jail? Honestly, I canât stand Nan Chen the most. I hate that people are looking up to him more than me when Iâm older than him by years! F*** him!â the man cursed.
Evidently, any mention of Nan Chen was a sore topic for Gao Bao. The latter had always felt that the respect he should have garnered should be no less or even more than Nan Chenâs.
âYouâre still better than him in my eyes. Heâs the son of a wealthy family. All he does is being dependent on his father. You, however, depend solely on yourself,â stated Ye Meng in an ingratiating manner.
Gao Baoâs expression instantly lit up. âYouâre right. If I was born in a family like his, I wouldâve been greater than him!â
âNo doubt about it. Thatâs why Iâm worried about the Nan family, not Nan Chen.â
âRest assured. Ding Mi is arrested for a serious crime. Sheâll surely be sentenced. Sheâs still in jail, which means the Nan family doesnât want to be too involved with her lest she drags the entire family down. If they keep it that way, she definitely canât get out. When sheâs transferred to the prison, Iâll ask someone to destroy her for good. Even if she managed to live, she would at least be disabled. Itâs over for her,â uttered Gao Bao confidently.
Hearing that, Ye Meng heaved a sigh of relief.
If Ding Mi is really ruined then sleeping with him was worth it.
âOkay, letâs stop talking about this. When I said itâs fine, then itâs fine. Youâve rested enough. Letâs continue our activity.â
With that, Gao Bao opened his cigarette-stench mouth and leaned towards her once again.
Meanwhile, at Nanshi Corporation, Qiao Zhan turned on the laptop in Nan Chenâs office and showed the latter the trimmed video.
Nan Chen was too busy that he had no time to watch the full video, so Qiao Zhan asked someone to trim the most important parts.
âWeâve already checked the CCTV footage of the banquet and found nothing suspicious. So we figured that it happened before she entered the banquet,â Qiao Zhan reported.
Nan Chen signaled for him to continue.
âBefore Young Mistress arrived, there was a group of people gathered in front of the elevator. They stayed there for half an hour. They never left and never entered the elevator, which means they were waiting for someone.â
âAt first they remained on their spot, but when Young Mistress arrived and went inside the elevator, they rushed in. There were over a dozen of them so itâs only natural to assume that theyâre trying to make the confined space looks crowded. They mustâve used this chance to put the drug inside Young Mistressâ purse,â Qiao Zhan finished before showing Nan Chen another trimmed video. This time it showed the footage inside the elevator.
Unfortunately, the footage was not that clear since there were too many people inside.
âThough itâs not that clear, I truly believe this was when they put the drug inside her purse. These three were the nearest to Young Mistress and Iâve already checked their background. All three of them donât work in that hotel. In fact, they work at a nightclub near the hotel. The outfit they were wearing at that time is their work attire.â
Nan Chen nodded and signaled him to continue again.
âThe hotel is too high-end so I doubt that they could afford to hang out there. According to the footage, Young Mistress went out on the third floor and they exited on the fourth. But they entered again shortly after, unlike when they waited outside for so long earlier. That just confirms my suspicion.â
As Qiao Zhan finished, he glanced at Jiang Zhe who was listening silently on the side.
