A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Nie laughed heartily, "Of course I caught her! I'm a veteran of countless battles, how could I possibly fail at catching a mere harlot? Back in the day, I was a reconnaissance squad leader on the front lines between the two mountains!"

I was secretly delighted and said with a smile, "Director Nie, you took matters into your own hands and succeeded effortlessly. We'll still need Director Nie's help with the rest. I'll treat you to drinks tomorrow."

"No problem, let's have a couple of drinks tomorrow." Nie hung up the phone.

In a great mood, I pushed Ah Xiang aside, straightened my clothes, and prepared to go downstairs for a stroll.

Ah Xiang grabbed my hand: "Brother Zu, when Director Nie called just now, why didn't you tell him... to release my cousin?"

I lifted Ah Xiang's chin:

"Have you forgotten what I just taught you? As the boss's woman, you need to be sensible and not ask questions you shouldn't. There's a reason I didn't mention your cousin earlier. As for what that reason is, think about it carefully yourself."

I haven't even seen the money yet, and you're already releasing people?

Ah Xiang has to pay some price for this, or it won't end here!

Ah Xiang opened her mouth, but finally held it in.

I went downstairs for a walk to check out the business, and then I browsed around the Yinmeiduo and the arcade.

Then, back at Jin Sangzi, I called Sister Li to share the good news.

When Sister Li learned that Sister Liang had been arrested, she was both excited and worried.

"Brother, this matter must be kept secret. We can't let Sister Liang know that we were behind it. Otherwise, Brother Liang will cause trouble for us back home."

In Dongguan, we can manipulate Sister Liang at will.

But the situation is different back in my hometown.

Liang Laosi is known as the local tyrant, with many men and great power. If he finds out that we are plotting against Liang Sanjie, how can he let it go?

I comforted Sister Li, "It's alright, Sister Li. I already gave instructions to Director Nie. Besides, we didn't show our faces during this operation, so Sister Liang would never suspect that we were the ones behind it all."

"What about Luo Hongyu? Will she figure out the reason?"

"No, that woman is stupid."

That's when I remembered Luo Hongyu. I wondered if she had been arrested.

He should be arrested.

If she had escaped unscathed, she would probably have called me by now.

After hanging up with Sister Li, I hesitated for a moment before calling Director Nie to ask if there was anyone named Luo Hongyu.

Nie told me to wait a moment while he had his men check.

Ten minutes later, Director Nie called: "There was indeed someone named Luo Hongyu who seemed to have broken her leg. We were too lazy to take her to the hospital, so we just let her go out on her own."

"Huh, you can still go out even with a broken leg?"

"Oh, we gave her a stick, and she can still walk with it..."

"Understood, thank you, Director Nie." I felt a mix of emotions.

A perfectly good girl was tricked by Sister Liang, and then she fell into depravity and never looked back.

Now that she's broken her leg, I wonder if she'll ever be able to get back on her feet.

Just as I was lamenting Luo Hongyu's fate, Luo Hongyu called.

She made the call from a phone booth, her voice trembling: "Old classmate, there was a surprise inspection in Wuwei Lane tonight. Sister Liang was arrested, and all of our people were arrested..."

"They've all been arrested. What about you?"

"I'm a sports student, I run fast, they couldn't catch me."

Luo Hongyu is quite the braggart, making up a story to fool me: "They chased me to the roof of the third floor, and with nowhere to run, I jumped down. Then, I think I broke my leg."

"Holy crap, jumping down from the third floor, you're awesome!" I was trying to hold back my laughter, almost bursting out laughing.

If I hadn't spoken to Director Nie on the phone earlier and learned the details, I might have taken it seriously and considered Luo Hongyu a real man!

"What's so great about me? Now I've broken my leg, I'm penniless, and I can't even go back to Wuwei Lane."

Luo Hongyu, having finally revealed her true colors, pleaded, "I can only rely on you now. Old classmate, please come and pick me up, I beg you."

"Grandma, I'm at work, I can't leave."

"Are you just going to stand by and watch me die?" Luo Hongyu was almost in tears. "I'm at the alleyway across from the police station. If you don't come, I'm doomed."

I pretended to be confused: "You broke your leg in Wuwei Alley, so why did you run to the alley opposite the police station? Did you hop there on one leg to walk right into their trap?"

One lie requires a thousand lies to cover it up.

I'll see how Luo Hongyu tries to cover it up!

"I...I came by taxi...I wanted to inquire about Sister Liang San."

"Weren't you penniless? How did you manage to afford a taxi?"

"Brother, I only have enough money for a taxi, is that okay?"

Luo Hongyu finally burst into tears: "Please stop asking, okay? You helped me this time, I'll repay you by doing anything for you!"

"I have no shortage of cattle or horses, nor do I lack women."

I sighed. "I just lack a pure and innocent classmate. It's a pity we were classmates, but now we're clients. Wait here, I'll be right there."

A year ago, we were still learning in the classroom, talking about the future and our ideals.

Now we're lying in bed, talking about prices, timing, and whether or not to use protection.

Life is so dramatic!

Luo Hongyu didn't understand my melancholy, and upon hearing this, she thanked me and said, "Hurry up, I'll wait for you."

I hung up the phone, took Ah Xiang, and drove to pick up Luo Hongyu.

Once we were on the road, Ah Xiang asked me, "Brother Zu, who are we going to pick up?"

"A despicable person, just like you."

"I..." Ah Xiang didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Ten minutes later, I saw Luo Hongyu, wearing a loose, straight-cut nightgown, with her hair disheveled, barefoot, and leaning on a cane.

Give her a cloth bag, and she'll be a standard nine-bag elder of the Beggars' Sect!

"Old classmate, I..."

Luo Hongyu's eyes reddened, her lips pursed, and she opened her arms to me.

Want a hug from me? I'm not afraid of being disgusted.

I paused for a moment, then sneered, "Were you doing business with customers when you were stopped for an inspection, and you just ran out like this? You weren't even wearing underwear, were you? And you're still not clean, are you?"

"you……"

Luo Hongyu was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Wang Yaozu, do you have to be so vicious? We're classmates after all."

I pointed to the Sanlichuan Police Station across the street: "If you think I'm vicious, then don't beg me. Just go into that unit across the street and turn yourself in. Turn over a new leaf and I promise I'll respect you!"

Luo Hongyu lowered her head and shed tears.

I sneered, "Just because you're in this shameless industry doesn't mean you can call me vicious. You know, some customers are a million times more vicious than me, not just verbally, but in every other way, right?"

Some versions are just unbearable to listen to.

Some guests are so perverted that they are beyond imagination and cross all lines.

Luo Hongyu herself understood, so she was silenced after I confronted her.

"Get in the car." I opened the back door and looked coldly at Luo Hongyu. "I'll take you to the hospital."

Luo Hongyu gritted her teeth and limped onto the car.

I drove off.

Luo Hongyu, sitting in the back seat, whispered, "Wang Yaozu, will you respect me if I stop doing this?"

"What about later? You plan to keep doing this until you're old and past your prime, and nobody wants you for ten yuan a time, then you'll retire?" I chuckled.

"By then, you'll be too old, you might even be sick and dead. What difference will it make whether you're valued or not?"
