My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 160 Lou Wai Lou (Fifth Update)

"...You mean?" Yang Youqian understood the implication and his heart was stirred, but then a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.

Indeed, if the captain and vice-captain both have problems, it would be strange if the second special operations team... were generally fine.

The reason he was able to rise to his position was because he was an ordinary citizen from the shantytown redevelopment area. He relied on his hard skills to gradually become stronger and eventually reached this position. Because of his background, he couldn't get along with the captain and deputy captain, and their relationship was poor. That's why he was selected and promoted by Captain Huo under these special circumstances.

"So what's next?" Secretary Zhang frowned slightly, carefully considering his question.

"Come with me..." Chu Zhu stepped towards the gate.

Secretary Zhang glanced at Yang Youqian subconsciously, only to find that Yang Youqian didn't even look at him and followed Chu Zhu directly... as if he subconsciously trusted Chu Zhu completely.

"..." What could Secretary Zhang do? She could only sigh inwardly and follow.

……

Happy Street.

Building outside the building.

The building is magnificent, with layers of flying eaves and brackets, and every carving is exquisite and intricate, telling a story of romance and elegance.

The sky was already tinged with evening frost, the vermilion gate stood wide open, lanterns hung on both sides, and the flickering candlelight reflected a scene of extravagance.

Secretary Zhang had changed into a white jacket and was wearing sunglasses. Although she still had a smile on her face, she looked incredibly awkward.

After all, as soon as he entered, those glamorous women soliciting customers rushed forward with giggles, as if they had seen the flesh of Tang Monk, reaching out to touch him... At this moment, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

It's not that he's never been to Lou Wai Lou before, but this is for official business!
Standing right next to him was a promising young talent, handpicked by Lord Huo!

What if this chosen one of heaven mentions it when he meets Lord Huo next time... Just thinking about that scene makes Secretary Zhang feel like his heart is about to stop.

If the situation weren't so inappropriate, he would have loved to kick all those colorful women around him and send them flying as far away as possible.

and also……

Secretary Zhang awkwardly pushed away another outstretched hand, glanced at Chu Zhu who exuded an aura of authority and remained undisturbed, and felt a mouthful of sarcasm stuck in her throat, unsure how to express it.

Why treat him this way but not Chu Zhu? If Chu Zhu were dragged into this mess, he might be able to relax his guard a little!
But...why?!
Clearly, Chu Zhu is far more charming, so why is everyone only focusing on him... Is it just because of his aura?
But his status isn't low either! Is there really such a big difference between his demeanor and the person next to him? Secretary Zhang felt hurt.

As for Yang Youqian, he stood silently beside Chu Zhu like a door god. His menacing aura, coupled with his grotesque muscles and less-than-refined appearance, made him look like he didn't have much money, so no beautiful women tried to entice him to his business.

"Oh my, look who's here!" With a coquettish laugh, the madam, who looked to be in her forties and smelled of rouge, approached Secretary Zhang. "Sir, it's been a while since you've..."

"I have important business to attend to!" Secretary Zhang quickly interrupted the madam. How could he dare to have a deep conversation with her? He glanced cautiously at Chu Zhu, who was drenched in sweat.

"Room 87!" Chu Zhu looked at the madam, narrowed her eyes, and suddenly spoke up, "We want to book Room 87!"

The madam paused, looking at Chu Zhu with some hesitation. "This... young sir! Um, it seems we don't have room number 87 here? No, no, no... it's not that it's booked, it's that we don't have it!"

"You can ask Xu Yao; she knows the inside story," Chu Zhu said calmly.

The madam looked on with surprise and uncertainty, glancing cautiously at Secretary Zhang. Secretary Zhang nodded seriously, "What are you looking at? We'll do whatever this gentleman says!"

The madam's heart skipped a beat; she knew who Secretary Zhang was... Lou Wai Lou had a unique characteristic: even if they knew a client's identity, they would faithfully keep it a secret...

That's partly why they've become so successful. But for someone to have this kind of attitude towards them, where did this second-generation rich kid come from?
No, no, no, considering Secretary Zhang's identity... could this person be surnamed Huo?!
With this in mind, the madam's attitude immediately became much more respectful and reserved. "I'll go right now! Right now... and there's more!"

Then, the madam glanced around with a gloomy expression. A group of good-for-nothings, who seemed to have run into Young Master Huo, actually ignored him?
Damn it! Absolutely damnable. If they could bring down this man who resembles Young Master Huo… wouldn't the Jinghai City Police Department become their backer? That would be of immense significance!

"I'll prepare you properly later!" The madam's voice was almost squeezed out from between her teeth as she waved her hand forcefully.

Immediately, the colorful people around them showed a hint of panic on their faces, but they didn't dare to say a word. Their attitude instantly became restrained, and they retreated with a bit of embarrassment.

Looking at the group, the madam smiled again and quickly took her leave.

...a moment later.

A white silk dress swept in, revealing a woman with skin as white as snow, a cool and aloof demeanor, yet also a touch of fragility, exuding an aura completely different from the atmosphere of Lou Wai Lou. She stood almost imperceptibly beside Chu Zhu, her delicate fragrance lingering in the air.

"My name is Ruoxue. Sister Xu asked me to escort some distinguished guests upstairs..."

Chu Zhu raised an eyebrow and followed closely behind, climbing the carved staircase to see the well-arranged private rooms on the second and third floors.

The doors to the private rooms are all made of precious wood and inlaid with various gemstones and pearls, showcasing unparalleled luxury.

The private room door was tightly closed, isolating the inside from the outside, making it impossible to hear what was happening inside.

This strong sense of privacy is the fundamental reason why Secretary Zhang, and many other people with official positions, prefer to come here.

Compared to other brothels' competitions for the title of courtesan, which sometimes escalate into fights, Lou Wai Lou exudes an elegance and conservatism that is completely out of place in the brothel world... Apart from the high cost, everything else is fine.

For officials of the Great Qian Dynasty, satisfying their own desires is enough... As for competing with other brothel clients for their favorites... do they really think their positions are too secure? They must be looking for trouble!

soon.

Chu Zhu met Xu Yao on the fourth floor. She looked to be under thirty, dressed in a bright red gown that perfectly accentuated her voluptuous figure. Her fiery red lips and alluring eyes exuded a mature and captivating charm.

“This young guest,” Xu Yao’s voice held a natural charm, “also…”

"There's no need for such formalities, Miss Xu," Chu Zhu said calmly. "After all, you're the only official member of the Hehuan Club at Lou Wai Lou, right? Perhaps the rest are just unofficial members? The kind who don't even know about... 'Kung Fu'?"

"You, whose duty is to gather intelligence for the Hehuan Society, cannot possibly not know me."

A thunderous start.

Secretary Zhang's eyes twitched, and he opened his mouth several times, but couldn't say a word.

No...you...me! Holy crap!!
Yang Youqian, on the other hand, tensed up immediately, his eyes sharp, ready to make a move.

As for Ruoxue, who was standing next to Xu Yao and had led the way earlier, she was now trembling uncontrollably, unable to maintain her cool demeanor, and her face showed fear.

As an ordinary person, she naturally didn't know the demonic identity of the Hehuan Society—but the Hehuan Society was, in name only, a cult suppressed by the authorities!
Although Ruoxue had long suspected it—after all, the connection between brothels and the Hehuan sect was practically an unspoken rule—the fact that it was actually exposed, especially by these seemingly high-ranking officials, was still surprising.

She couldn't even imagine which direction the situation would take next.

"This servant doesn't know what the young master is talking about!" Xu Yao reacted quickly, her face showing fear and her body trembling, without revealing the slightest flaw from beginning to end.

"Room 87!" Chu Zhu glanced coldly at Xu Yao. "The rest is none of your business! Don't tip anyone off, or I'll have Madam Lin, who's currently at Camp One, be prepared."

The moment the words "Madam Lin" were uttered, Xu Yao's expression froze for a moment. It was too obvious. Even though she reacted instantly and changed her expression back to the previous weak and frightened one, Secretary Zhang also sensed the meaning and a hint of amusement and profound meaning appeared in his eyes.

"Since you've said so, what else can I do?" Xu Yao stopped stubbornly arguing and simply put on a wronged look, sobbing softly, before stepping forward to lead the way.

However, Chu Zhu walked directly in front of her.

Xu Yao: "?"

Before Xu Yao could even figure out what Chu Zhu was doing, she saw Chu Zhu walk faster and faster, making several turns and skillfully entering an empty corridor.

Without even looking, he lightly tapped the wall at the end of the corridor, and the wall was pushed open, revealing a hidden door—his skill was as if he had been here countless times!
Xu Yao: "..."

No, do you even know where room number 87 is?!
Xu Yao, whose delicate and pitiful expression almost made men lose their composure, nearly lost it. A sharp, internal scream erupted within her… what did her previous hesitation and sophistry mean in the eyes of the person before her? A joke?!
Chu Zhu stepped inside, sat down in a chair, glanced at Xu Yao, and said with a warning, "I'll repeat myself... Don't do anything unnecessary later! Get out."

Xu Yao was silent for a moment, then timidly said, "Would you like Ruoxue to come and keep me company? ... Well, Ruoxue is also the Snow Queen we just selected this year, and she is still a virgin! Although according to common sense, she would need a fortune to redeem her, but you are a handsome young master, and Ruoxue fell in love at first sight. Our Louwailou is not like those arrogant and cruel brothels. If there is such a free love, we are willing to let go... If so!"

"Get out." Chu Zhu's voice carried a hint of coldness. He knew the other side did indeed have this strategy, but if this strategy was truly about falling in love at first sight and releasing someone... that was simply ridiculous! To put it bluntly, it was just using the pretext of freedom to send women to high-ranking officials they had their eyes on!
To actually believe that would be foolish! All I can say is that on the surface, they engage in elegant prostitution, but on a deeper level, they cloak their dark prostitution activities in the guise of free love… This approach is far superior to the brothels popular today!
No wonder the Hehuan Sect can produce such a high-level Louwailou... Ordinary brothels simply can't compete with it—in terms of both operation and strategy, Louwailou is far superior!
