The Secret of the Yoga Club: The Women's Identity is Not Simple

The day Su's mother was discharged from the hospital was a bright sunny day; the morning sun was so strong that it was hard to open one's eyes.

When Lin Feng arrived at the hospital, Su Mengya had already packed everything. Two large woven bags and a suitcase were neatly stacked at the entrance of the ward.

Su's mother sat on the edge of the bed, wearing a floral short-sleeved shirt that Zhang Xiulan had sent a few days ago. Although her face was still a little pale, her spirits had improved significantly, and her eyes had regained their sparkle.

Lin Feng helped Su Mengya carry her things downstairs and then ran up and down the stairs to complete the discharge procedures.

There were seven or eight people in line at the window, and he waited for almost half an hour before he got his deposit back.

When they returned to the ward, Su Mengya was helping her mother slowly walk towards the elevator. Su's mother was still a little unsteady on her feet, but she was already able to move slowly by holding onto the wall.

The three of them took a taxi back to their old neighborhood.

One of the motion-activated lights in the hallway had broken and hadn't been repaired yet. Lin Feng carried a woven bag in one hand and supported Su's mother with the other, while Su Mengya followed behind carrying a suitcase.

After entering the house, Su Mengya helped her mother to sit on the sofa and then went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water and handed it to her.

Su's mother leaned back on the sofa, looked around the old house where she had lived for more than ten years, and sighed, saying that she was finally back.

While Su Mengya went to the kitchen to pack her things, Lin Feng carried woven bags and suitcases into Su's mother's bedroom.

She was bending over, wiping the stove with great force, the rag rubbing back and forth on the tiles. Lin Feng walked over and took the rag from her hand, placing it aside.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Feng asked.

Su Mengya straightened up and leaned against the stove, wiped her hands on her apron, and remained silent for a while with her head down.

Then she said she quit her job.

Although her mother's brain hemorrhage surgery was successful, her subsequent recovery will take a long time. The doctor said that the first three months are the critical period, and family members need to accompany her throughout the rehabilitation training.

The beauty company she worked for before wasn't doing well to begin with, and after taking such a long leave, the company had hinted several times that she should resign.

Lin Feng tapped his fingers twice on the edge of the stove. "Don't worry about the money, I'll figure something out."

Su Mengya shook her head. "I haven't finished paying back the medical expenses you paid for me last time, so I can't take your money again this time. Once my mother's condition stabilizes, I'll go out and find a job, maybe one with flexible hours, or one I can do from home."

Lin Feng did not respond to that.

He remembered that He Qianwen was the actual controller of Tianlong Group, so arranging an easy clerical position for her shouldn't be a problem.

But he didn't say it right away, he just said, "Leave it to me."

Over the next two days, the crackdown on organized crime in Hehai City intensified.

Lin Feng sees related news push notifications on his phone every day—a nightclub in the east of the city was shut down for drug-related offenses, a mahjong parlor in the west of the city was raided by the police for gambling, and several streets were lined with shops that had been sealed off.

Ye Qinghan led a special operation that dismantled several drug trafficking gangs and seized a considerable amount of ecstasy and methamphetamine.

The guy named Tie Tou got wind of the situation beforehand and ran away quickly, so he hasn't been caught yet, but the police have already issued an arrest warrant.

Ye Qinghan was officially promoted from deputy director to director of the Hehai City Public Security Bureau for his achievements in this crackdown on organized crime.

The news spread throughout the club. Luo Ruoxi said at the front desk that day that Sister Ye was now the head of the Municipal Bureau, her tone tinged with emotion.

Bai Jin Hai not only did not collapse in this storm, but also rose against the trend as other venues closed down or suspended operations for rectification.

Customers who were originally scattered in various nightclubs and KTVs suddenly flocked to Platinum Sea, and the reservation schedule for the night was completely full.

Sister Hong asked Brother Biao to transfer some people from the card room to help out. The number of security personnel in the lobby and on each floor was double the usual amount, and illegal business operations were temporarily suspended.

That afternoon, Lin Feng received a call from Sister Hong, who asked him to come to Bai Jinhai that evening to discuss something.

When Lin Feng arrived that evening, Brother Biao led him directly to the fourth floor, but instead of going to the office, he turned into a door at the other end of the corridor.

Behind the door was a private swimming pool.

The pool wasn't very big, about ten meters long, and the water shimmered with a blue light under the warm yellow lights.

Several crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, their light scattering into tiny specks of light on the water's surface.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the night view of Hehai City, with the lights of ships on the river moving slowly in the distance.

Hongjie is soaking in the pool.

He was wearing a black one-piece swimsuit, but the style was quite different from any swimsuit Raymond Lam had seen before.

The neckline was a deep V, extending all the way to the middle of her chest, and the two full breasts were squeezed out into a deep cleavage under the black stretchy fabric.

Her back was almost completely exposed, with only a few thin straps crossing over it. The shallow groove of her spine extended down from between her shoulder blades and disappeared at the edge of the swimsuit.

The fabric at the waist is very narrow, clearly showing the outline of the hip bones. The swimsuit has a high-waisted triangle design at the bottom, completely exposing the thighs.

Her skin was so white it reflected the light. It wasn't the naturally pale white like Shen Qianqian's, nor the meticulously maintained white like Zhou Mei's; it was a pale white that had never seen the sun, like the glaze on porcelain. Her long, black hair clung wetly to her shoulders, the ends floating on the water, and she wore her signature dark red lipstick.

Lin Feng stood by the pool, his gaze sweeping over her. Sister Hong rolled over in the water, floating on her back, her full breasts swaying slightly in the deep V-neck of her swimsuit.

"Come down. There are swimming trunks on the clothes rack." Sister Hong gestured with her chin toward a clothes rack by the pool.

Raymond Lam changed into his swimming trunks and stepped into the pool. The water was at a constant temperature, neither too cold nor too hot, just slightly cooler than body temperature.

Swimmed to Sister Hong's side, leaned against the pool wall, and put my arm on the edge of the pool.

"You've seen the recent news, right?" Sister Hong said. "Most of the card and mahjong parlors in the west and east of the city have closed down. Zuo Ning has suffered significant losses; several casinos and nightclubs have been shut down. Wu San's drug trafficking den has also been raided by the police."

She turned and leaned against the pool wall, sitting next to him. "This crackdown on organized crime is Ye Qinghan's first major action since taking office, and it's burning very brightly. Zuo Ning's people are all cowering and dare not make a move; they probably won't be up to any more tricks for a while."

Lin Feng nodded. "But making money from card and mahjong parlors is too slow. And the risks are too great; they get investigated all the time. In the current market, it's good enough if card and mahjong parlors and Baijinhai can just stay afloat; expanding is too difficult."

"That's what I meant too." Sister Hong lifted her hand out of the water and gently drew circles on the edge of the pool with her finger.

"This crackdown on organized crime has taken down a lot of businesses, and the rest will either have to close down or undergo rectification. Many establishments in the east and south of the city are now vacant. Now is a good time to buy at rock-bottom prices. I've already asked Kui Zi to look for suitable clubs and arcades, and we'll take advantage of this opportunity to acquire them." She turned to look at Lin Feng. "What do you think?"

Lin Feng said yes.

After thinking for a moment, he added that Bai Jinhai's reputation had already been established, and customers now recognized the brand. If they could take advantage of the opportunity to expand and take over the vacant spaces in the surrounding area, whether it was a KTV or an arcade, the profits would be much higher than those of a card and chess room.

Moreover, Ye Qinghan has just taken office, so we can still talk to him. We can also know the direction of the Municipal Bureau in advance, so the risks of expansion are controllable.
