"Brother, I beg you..." He Shouyue was so frightened that she took two steps back, her voice trembling with tears, her lips shaking, "Nobody asked me to come... I... I just need money, I want... I want to make some quick money."

Qin Lang didn't speak, he just looked at her quietly. But the calmer his gaze was, the more unsettling it became.

He Shouyue dared not look at Qin Lang again. She took another step back, trying to walk around Qin Lang and head towards the door.

Qin Lang didn't stop her, but simply said, "If you walk out now, I guarantee you won't leave this KTV unscathed."

Upon hearing this, He Shouyue abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Qin Lang coughed lightly, picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and slowly said, "Do you know the name of the manager of this KTV who just came in with the police? Yu Hai. He's a gangster, a notoriously ruthless guy in the underworld. Do you know how he usually deals with people who cause trouble at his place?"

He Shouyue was truly terrified; her hands were visibly trembling.

Qin Lang pretended not to see and continued, "Last year, a thug was selling pills in this shop and got arrested. Yu Hai broke three of the man's ribs and dumped him in a garbage dump on the outskirts of the city. When the police arrived, the thug insisted that he had fallen and broken his ribs."

"Do you know why? Because Yu Hai said that if he dares to tell anyone, he'll set fire to his house, along with his family."

Qin Lang spoke casually, as if chatting about everyday things, but He Shouyue was already stunned with fright.

Listening from the side, Su Yue wondered to herself: Could it be that Brother Lang really knows the manager of this KTV?

Upon hearing this, Xu Han's expression changed. She thought to herself: Qin Lang suspects that someone is using this girl to set a trap for him.

He Shouyue finally broke down. She squatted on the ground, hugged her knees, and cried uncontrollably.

Half a minute later, Qin Lang felt the time was right. He walked up to He Shouyue, squatted down, and said gently, "I know you've been used. But you have to tell me now who sent you. Otherwise, I can't help you with this."

Half a minute later, He Shouyue raised her head, her eyes red from crying, and said in a trembling voice, "It was...it was someone who sent me. I don't know that person, I really don't...it was a man, eighteen or nineteen years old, average-looking. He gave me a thousand yuan and told me that if I did what he said, he would give me another thousand yuan after it was done."

Qin Lang's expression remained unchanged, but he had already made up his mind. He went through all the men he had grudges against, and finally thought of only one person who fit the criteria: Feng Chen.

"Feng Chen," Qin Lang said calmly.

Upon hearing this name, Su Yue jumped up from the sofa, angrily saying, "What? Brother Lang, you mean that bastard Feng Chen is trying to frame you? I knew it! Who's so insidious? It's that yandere guy, that dog!"

Ruan Zhihuan frowned and said, "He wants you in jail. A minor, illegal transactions—if that charge is proven, you might not even be able to go to university."

"He should be nearby." Xu Han pondered for a moment and then spoke up. His voice was not loud, but it was very clear.

Qin Lang nodded and looked at He Shouyue, asking, "Is he in this KTV?"

He Shouyue hesitated for a moment, then nodded and honestly confessed, "He was...he was in the three private rooms before I arrived. He said that once things were settled, I should go there to get the rest of the money."

Qin Lang stood up, walked a few steps around the private room, then returned to He Shouyue, squatted down, and said, "Do you want to make amends?"

He Shouyue paused for a moment, then looked at Qin Lang with a puzzled expression.

Qin Lang said to her, "If you're willing to do me a small favor, I guarantee this matter will be wiped clean, and you won't have to worry about Yu Hai causing you trouble."

He Shouyue bit her lip, her mind racing with an internal struggle. After a while, she finally looked up. "What do you want me to do?"

Qin Lang leaned closer and whispered a few words in her ear.

He Shouyue's eyes widened after hearing this: "This...can it really work?"

"Just do as I say." Qin Lang stood up, took out his phone, turned on the recording function, and handed it to He Shouyue. "Take this and go to room six in the third VIP room to find Feng Chen, the one who instructed you."

He Shouyue nodded, stood up, wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and turned to leave the private room.

After He Shouyue left, Su Yue finally couldn't hold back any longer. She grabbed Qin Lang's arm and asked, "Brother Lang, what exactly did you send her to do?"

Qin Lang didn't answer, but said with a smile, "You'll find out in a moment."

Su Yue didn't give up there and continued to ask, "Then how did you know the manager of this KTV's name? Do you really know him?"

"I don't know him. When he came in with the police, he was wearing a name tag on his clothes with his name on it," Qin Lang replied casually.

Su Yue: "So, what you said about him beating up thugs, is that something you heard about?"

Qin Lang: "It was made up on the spot."

Su Yue: "...Okay, as expected of someone who writes web novels."

Qin Lang: "Hehe, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills."

Three six-seater private rooms.

He Shouyue tried to keep his voice normal and said to Feng Chen, "Brother, it's done. Qin Lang has been taken away by the police."

"Really?" Upon hearing this news, Feng Chen's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement. "You personally saw him being taken away in the police car?"

If he weren't afraid of being seen by Xu Han, he really wanted to go out of the private room and witness Qin Lang being taken away with his own eyes.

He Shouyue said, "Yes, the women next to him were also taken away. Brother, I'm a little scared. What if he realizes that you tricked him and tries to get revenge on me after he gets out?"

Feng Chen laughed, holding a scantily clad "music tutor" in his arms, his face showing no concern. He said, "What are you afraid of? He doesn't know who you are, he doesn't even know your name. Even if he figures it out, where will he find you? Don't worry, this is a secret between you, me, and heaven. No third... fourth person will know."

He Shouyue nodded, then said, "Then... the rest of the money..."

Feng Chen pulled out his phone from his pocket and said impatiently, "What's the rush? You'll get yours. We agreed on two thousand. I gave you a thousand as a deposit, so here's another thousand. Here, scan the code."

He opened WeChat, scanned He Shouyue's QR code, entered the amount 1000, and confirmed the transfer.

He Shouyue's phone rang with the notification sound of a payment arriving, and at the same time, the door to the private room was pushed open.

"Qin...Qin Lang?"

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Feng Chen's smile froze instantly. "You...you weren't...?"
