âBrother Lin, we know whatâs going on,â Liang Jinming said, putting an arm around Lin Yiâs shoulder.
âCome on, letâs have some fun. Tonight, weâre not leaving until weâre drunk.â
Finally, Gao Zongyuan parked the car in the parking lot and found a spot.
âWhy park an Alphard here? Donât they know how cheap their car is?â Someone muttered nearby.
âIn a place like Modu, if youâre not driving a supercar worth over three million yuan, itâs better not to come. Itâs just embarrassing,â
At that moment, the doors of the Alphard opened, and Lin Yi, Qin Han, and their friends stepped out.
The surrounding chatter abruptly stopped.
âOh my god, itâs Master Lin and Master Qin! I canât believe we get to see them at Modu. This is incredible!â
âWhy are you so excited? Who are they?â
âTheyâre the most famous second-generation rich kids in Zhonghai, worth billions. Especially the most handsome one, Master Lin. I heard one of his cars is worth over a hundred million. Heâs one of the top in the country.â
âWow, seriously? Not only is he handsome, but heâs also super rich?â
âNow you know. These are the top-tier rich kids of Zhonghai.â
âThen what are we waiting for? Letâs go in and take a look. If we can hook up with someone like that, we will hit the jackpot tonight.â
Their arrival instantly made them the focus of the bar.
Once they were seated in a booth, many women approached them, making the atmosphere lively.
But Lin Yi wasnât interested in the women. He slowly sipped his cocktail, enjoying the rare relaxation.
Just then, Lin Yiâs gaze happened to fall on the entrance, where he saw four men walk in.
To his surprise, the one leading them was Li Qiao, whom he had met earlier that day.
Judging by his demeanor, it seemed like Li Qiao was hosting the group.
Lin Yi frowned slightly, holding his glass.
Given their familyâs current situation, Li Qiao shouldnât have the mindset to be bar-hopping.
Moreover, with his grandfatherâs cash frozen, he couldnât spend any of it.
Showing up in a place with a minimum spend of a thousand yuan per person seemed out of place for him.
âBrother Lin, what are you looking at? Keep drinking,â Liang Jinming called out loudly.
âI saw someone I know. You guys go ahead, Iâll hang out elsewhere for a bit.â
Their table was too conspicuous. If Li Qiao spotted him, it wouldnât be good for the case.
Lin Yi took his drink upstairs and observed the situation downstairs.
Though he couldnât hear their conversation, it was clear that Li Qiao was being very polite to the other three, almost subservient.
His behavior seemed quite odd.
After watching for a while, Lin Yi decided this wasnât a viable approach, so he called Liang Jinming.
He planned to have a server discreetly keep an eye on Li Qiaoâs group and gather any useful information.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yiâs first two calls went unanswered.
He looked downstairs and noticed Qin Han and the others were gone, leaving behind a messy table with bottles and snacks.
Frowning, Lin Yi muttered to himself, âWhere did those three idiots go?â
Just then, his phone rang. Liang Jinming was calling back.
âBrother Lin, whatâs up?â
âWhere did you three go? Youâre not at the table.â
âThe bar had two unruly people come in, so we came out to handle it.â
âUnruly people?â Lin Yiâs expression slightly changed.
âWhatâs the matter? Take your time and tell me.â
âThe bar manager reported to me that someone was selling contraband here. The three of us are going to handle it. You go about your business; itâs a small matter. We can handle it ourselves.â
âAlright, Iâll go take a look,â Lin Yi said. âWhere are you?â
âThe security room on the third floor. If you donât know where it is, ask the waiter to take you up.â
âOkay, I got it.â
Lin Yi responded and placed his empty wine glass aside before heading toward the third floor.
At the top of the stairs, diagonally opposite was the security room. Lin Yi pushed the door open and entered.
Qin Han and Gao Zongyuan were sitting on the sofa, while Liang Jinming was seated at the desk, looking displeased.
In front of them stood two men in vests. They were dressed ordinarily and looked unremarkable.
Their sneaky expressions, however, made them seem somewhat sleazy.
âIs it these two?â
Liang Jinming nodded in response.
âCome on, guys, thereâs no need for this. Weâre all in the same game, everyone knows how it works. Letâs leave each other some room; thereâs money for everyone to make.â
The blonde-haired man spoke. Despite being caught red-handed, he remained indifferent and didnât take the four of them seriously.
âHow many grams in total?â Lin Yi asked.
Liang Jinming turned around, touched the table, and threw a small bag to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi weighed it in his hand and estimated it to be around 50 grams.
Regardless of anything else, it was definitely enough for a conviction.
Lin Yi turned his head to look at the two men. âYouâve both been caught, donât you think itâs time to come clean?â
âWhat do you want us to confess? The stuff is right there. Weâre all familiar with this scene; thereâs no need for this,â said the blonde man with a shrug, indifferent.
âAnd my boss is Wang Shuguang. You guys are in the game too, you must have heard of him. I donât need to say more, do I?â
âWang Shuguang?â Qin Han muttered, evidently familiar with the name.
âYou know this person?â Lin Yi asked.
âNot very well, I just know heâs a big shot, quite famous in Zhonghai.â
âIs he as formidable as Wei Yihua?â
âThey arenât really comparable,â Qin Han said.
âWei Yihua is an old big shot in Zhonghai, but recently, heâs been rumored to have retired and moved into a lot of legitimate business. This Wang Shuguang guy is a new face in Zhonghai, said to be ruthless with a criminal record. Heâs a cutthroat.â
âDamn, while I was away, these scoundrels really started to come out of the woodwork.â
âWhen the catâs away, the mice will play,â Liang Jinming said, lighting a cigarette and looking at Lin Yi.
âBrother Lin, youâre the expert here. You handle this.â
âGet a few people to watch them and call the police. When the time comes, we can send you a couple of banners and stir up some publicity. Such an easy catch, we shouldnât waste it.â
âGot it.â
âWhat are you doing? For something this minor, youâre actually going to call the police?â
The two menâs faces changed. They had thought that mentioning Wang Shuguang would settle the matter.
But they hadnât expected these people to be relentless and even call the police!
If they got caught, it would be a real problem!
