Soon, the contents of the cipher were deciphered, and Bai Xue's hand holding the note began to tremble slightly.
Even though she was a woman, Bai Xue knew about the existence of the red-light district. It was the most famous place of pleasure in Longmen. Normally, Wei Yanwu would be questioned for a long time just for mentioning the name of the red-light district, let alone going there.
But recently, for some reason, the master and mistress have been spending all their time together. According to the servants, strange noises can be heard from the room from time to time. It seems that they have rekindled their passion from their honeymoon. As a result, the mistress, who has been exhausted, has relaxed her control over the master.
"Madam, you're so foolish! It's obvious the Doctor gave you this advice, deliberately creating a smokescreen to mislead you. Look, they just loosened the ropes, and now they're planning something big." She immediately intended to tell Wen Yue what had happened.
But before she could make the call, Miss Ninja hesitated.
Bai Xue, when will you be able to prove yourself?
Today, right today!
The ninja girl put down her phone, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
As long as we catch the master and the doctor out partying and hand the evidence over to Lady Fumizuki, she will still be a trusted ninja!
Section 257, Chapter Sixty-Eight: Mr. Wei, an Ordinary Citizen
The dazzling, ever-changing colored lights, the deafening, boisterous music, and the unrestrained dancing of young bodies—all of this is enough to make people forget the pressures of work. On the streets filled with an atmosphere of extravagance and decadence, men and women with expressions of intoxication can be seen everywhere.
Having changed into casual clothes, Qin Duanyu was inconspicuous. He mingled among the crowd of people who were shouting and drinking, and walked straight to the center of the street.
"Doctor, I really didn't expect that after such a big incident a few days ago, you would still dare to come to a place like this? This must be the legendary case of 'the more lice, the less itchy; the more debts, the less worry'!" A masked man, even more heavily wrapped than Qin Duanyu, suddenly rushed out from the side, put his arm around Qin Duanyu's shoulder, and said with a hint of mockery.
"Tch, people who rush out the door as soon as they get the news and arrive at the destination even earlier than me have no right to say such things." Thanks to the help of God's perspective, Qin Duanyu was not frightened at all, but instead said irritably.
"Doesn't this show how much Lungmen values Rhodes Island? You are one of our most important partners, so of course we have to provide excellent service and demonstrate our sincerity," the masked man said dismissively, shaking his head with an air of self-righteousness.
"Tsk, that's quite a show of sincerity." Qin Duanyu curled her lips and pointed to the row of glittering clubs and bars. "Let's not talk about that for now. With so many flashy shops, do you have any recommendations for good places to go?"
“Then you’ve come to the right person! Before I got married, I was known as the Prince of Red Street. I know this place better than my own home!” The masked man rubbed his hands together, his voice full of excitement. “Back then, that rat, Ed, and I… well, never mind, I’ve just figured out where to have some fun!”
The other person's slight disappointment did not arouse Qin Duanyu's suspicion. She thought he was reminiscing about his lost youth and patted him on the shoulder with sympathy.
"With such distinctive features, won't you be recognized?" Qin Duanyu casually changed the subject, diverting his attention.
After all, not everyone is like Miss Tianhuo, who is not worried at all that an old politician might mess things up in this kind of situation. Besides, since the other party dared to show up here, he must have eliminated all the potential threats around him.
"Don't worry, there are more than just me and Xiao Chen in the Dragon Clan of Lungmen. Right now, I'm just an ordinary citizen, Mr. Wei." The masked man took off his mask and hood, revealing that he had dyed his original orange hair black. His clothes were also different from his usual long robe and overcoat; instead, he was wearing a well-fitting suit.
Without careful observation, it is indeed difficult to associate him with the powerful figures in Longmen.
Following Wei Yanwu through the winding alleys, they soon arrived at a rather inconspicuous shop. Although the exterior was somewhat dilapidated, the luxurious and elegant interior could be seen through the glass door.
"Gentlemen, I'm sorry, this is a private club and we cannot accommodate you..." Upon seeing the two men enter, who were not familiar faces, the middle-aged Zalak man at the front desk frowned and said politely.
Wei Yanwu took out a silver card from his pocket, on which a rat's head pattern could be seen.
"You are the guest of the Rat...?" The middle-aged Zalak man glanced at the card, his expression solemn and his tone increasingly respectful.
"Okay, arrange a private room." Wei Yanwu nodded slightly and said familiarly.
"Understood. Have a pleasant evening." The middle-aged man, Zalak, bowed and beckoned a waiter to lead the two upstairs.
"As expected of the Prince of the Red Street, I admire you!" Qin Duanyu said in a low voice after entering the private room.
"Ahem, this is a business owned by an old friend of mine. It's not what you're thinking. It's a legitimate club, completely modeled after the service procedures in the East." Sensing the other party's ambiguous gaze, Wei Yanwu explained somewhat helplessly.
Qin Duanyu wanted to make a few more jokes, but four young ladies in formal dresses walked in, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.
"So Mr. Qin, you're the manager of a pharmaceutical company. No wonder you drink milk instead of alcohol. I thought I had upset you because of poor service."
"Mr. Wei has made the right choice in coming to Longmen to do business. The policies here are very friendly to foreign investors."
The professionally trained young ladies chatted while serving the two drinks and milk. Despite it being their first meeting, there was no awkwardness between them. The whole process was happy and enjoyable, which was completely different from what Qin Duanyu had imagined.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Those big shots have long since moved beyond the lowbrow tastes of straightforwardness. They come to these kinds of places more to release the pressure they've accumulated, similar to psychological healing through chatting. The girls are all artists, not prostitutes. If someone were to try to force themselves on them, the boss behind them, the Rat King, is no pushover.
Sigh, to sum it up, rich people really know how to have fun.
Old Wei really was just there to enjoy the atmosphere, just as he claimed. He sat properly the whole time. If it weren't for his calm demeanor and easy conversation that made the young ladies squirm, people would believe he was a virgin visiting a brothel for the first time.
Although Qin Duanyu wasn't an experienced driver, he was able to handle so many girls, so he wasn't timid at all. He started chatting with the young lady, just like Lao Wei, and placed his hands on his thighs in a very gentlemanly manner.
The adventure was just an excuse; his real purpose was not so simple. After all, no matter how cute or understanding the hostesses were, they couldn't compare to the large group of girls at home. He would rather stay in his villa and figure out how to venture into dangerous places.
Sure enough, it's here!
After drinking two doses of the intelligence-boosting drug, the person he had been waiting for finally appeared in his God's-eye view.
"Old Wei, I heard a yawn." Qin Duanyu leaned past the girl next to her and whispered to Wei Yanwu.
"Doctor, don't scare me like that! Don't make jokes like that, I have a heart condition!" Wei Yanwu's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly as he forced a smile.
"Do I look like the kind of person who would joke about something like this?" Qin Duanyu's serious tone shattered his last shred of hope.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that ninja lady to be so vengeful, secretly keeping an eye on me all this time. It seems I've gotten you into trouble this time." Qin Duanyu suppressed the urge to laugh out loud and said with feigned helplessness.
Wei Yanwu never expected that after spending several days and paying all the taxes to appease Wen Yue and finally relaxing his supervision of her so that he could have the opportunity to come out and have some fun, Qin Duanyu would run into trouble.
He knew that Bai Xue was on vacation, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to leisurely run out. But he didn't expect that the ninja girl had secretly set her sights on Qin Duanyu and even followed the clues to find Wei Yanwu.
"There's no point in saying all this. The key is what to do next. By the way, Doctor, you must have a good idea!" At this moment, Wei Yanwu had completely lost his interest in drinking and was staring intently at Qin Duanyu, treating him as his lifeline.
She couldn't very well say that she was just an innocent bystander; Wen Yue wouldn't accept that explanation.
"Look directly into Madam Wenyue's eyes and tell her that you simply enjoy this atmosphere and have no intention of wronging her. Remember to be firm and upright, displaying an indomitable spirit. Only then will she understand your demands," Qin Duanyu said earnestly, pouring herself a glass of milk.
"Will she forgive me after that?" Wei Yanwu asked hopefully.
“No, this way you’ll die with more dignity.” Qin Duanyu shook her head, picked up her glass and clinked it with Wei Yanwu’s. “I have an agent under me who’s quite knowledgeable about funeral couplets. I’ll have her write one for you.”
???
Wei Yanwu looked puzzled, his dragon-like face contorting into a donkey-like expression.
"However, there is a way to remedy this."
"Speak freely!"
Section 259, Chapter Sixty-Nine: District Medical Officers
In the club's corridors, you can see many busy staff members. Even though the private rooms are very soundproof, they try to keep their steps light and deliver the items requested by the guests as quickly as possible.
"Hannah, quickly send a carton of fresh milk and a bottle of 82 Lafite to the guests in VIP room number 12. Those two are VIPs, so don't neglect them!" The front desk manager put down the phone and called over her niece, indicating that she should be in charge of the service, which drew envious glances from her colleagues.
The guests in VIP room number 12 were generous, even giving more tips than the big bosses who frequented the place. Serving them wine was undoubtedly a cushy job. Upon hearing this, the girl nodded happily and ran upstairs with the tray in her hand.
"Ouch... watch your step! Aren't you watching where you're going?" Just as she was fantasizing about how much tip she could get, another waiter rushing downstairs bumped into her lightly, almost knocking the contents of his tray off.
"I'm so sorry, the guests upstairs are making a fuss about opening a case of Royal Salute..." The man apologized repeatedly, but showed no sign of stopping.
"Damn it, these newbies don't know the rules. It's a pity I didn't see her employee number!" The girl only saw that the other person had short silver hair and guessed that she was a new waitress. She wanted to teach the other person a lesson, but because of the etiquette she had developed over many years in the service industry, she also knew that causing trouble at this time was no different from courting death.
So he only muttered a few complaints to himself before putting on a bright smile and knocking on the door.
The dragon guest sitting on the left looked very kind, giving off a sense of familiarity, while the guest on the right was wearing a hood and sunglasses, and it was unclear how he could see clearly in the dim lighting.
As for why he would drink milk in a place like this, the girl who had worked at the club for several years knew very well that this was obviously not something they, as subordinates, were qualified to ask. It was probably just the boss's quirk.
This also explains why, ever since she entered, the masked guest on her right kept glancing at her neckline, which was deliberately left unbuttoned. Hmm, next time she should add more padding; it definitely attracts attention.
"Old Wei, after we finish drinking, let's find a place to see who can last the longest?"
"Eek... Mr. Wei, I never expected you guys to be so filthy!"
"We agreed to go down a hundred floors later if we're men, what were you thinking? You'll have to drink the penalty shot, we're supposed to be gentlemen!"
"Ugh, the guests are playing tricks on us again!"
Listening to the two guests discussing their activities for the latter half of the night, and amidst the girls' coquettish banter, they simultaneously let out knowing laughs, Hannah pretended to be deaf and deftly opened the bottles and placed them on the table.
Then, as she had hoped, she received several bright blue sheets of paper and left, thanking them profusely.
"Looks like a big fish has taken the bait," Qin Duanyu said with a grin, picking up her cup.
"Oh?!" Wei Yanwu raised an eyebrow, casting a U-shaped, angsty glance at him.
Qin Duanyu didn't answer, but pointed to her ear and then to her chest. The latter nodded in understanding.
……
"You, stop right there! You're the one who bumped into me!" Having received a hefty tip, Hannah was in a great mood and was about to go back to rest when she saw that silver figure at the corner and quickly chased after it.
I was too busy greeting guests to pay attention to them earlier, but now that I finally have some free time, I naturally want to teach these newcomers the rules of the club and let them know how powerful the senior sister is.
But after turning the corner, she was struck hard on the back of the head and collapsed to the ground, dazed.
The waitress who had bumped into her withdrew her hand, dragged her into the women's restroom, and removed a not-so-obvious black button from her chest.
"Tch, so it was padded? I was worried that something was wrong after a while..." The waitress sneered, took off her coat to reveal the ninja outfit underneath, and then pulled up her veil to cover her face.
Knowing that getting too close would alert Qin Duanyu, Bai Xue didn't expect a simple disguise to fool him. So, she took advantage of the collision to place a listening device on the waiter and learned that the two had other activities planned.
Young Doctor, besides their stealth skills, the ninjas of the Eastern Kingdom have many other ways of gathering information. Just wait and see the famous detective Doctor's adventure in the red-light district! Shirayuki placed the girl on the toilet, nimbly jumped out of the window, and waited patiently in a tall building.
About an hour later, just as Miss Snow White was getting so bored that she started to yawn, her gaze fell on an inconspicuous little shop across the street. Two furtive figures came out of the shop and blended into the crowd.
Hmph, a secret passage, quite cautious indeed.
The club often hosts guests of special status, so there are several entrances in the open. The one Qin Duanyu and his group entered was obviously not the main entrance. As for the hidden exits, they were all cleverly disguised.
However, Bai Xue was a professional ninja. She simply changed her disguise and wandered around inside for a while, and she roughly guessed that there might be a passage. And the position she was in was perfect for taking in the whole thing.
No matter how cunning you are, it's all for naught!
The ninja girl snorted and nimbly leaped between buildings, following the two at a leisurely pace, her camera clicking incessantly.
Men really are all big jerks. One of them has his backyard almost burned down, while the other has been a model couple for years, yet he's still having affairs in private rooms. Thinking back to when she was doing dirty work, Bai Xue couldn't help but feel a chill.
She's going to follow those two guys tonight and see what kind of perverted hobbies they have!
Unbeknownst to them, the two arrived at a district of bungalows. The ninja girl reluctantly went to the street, always lagging behind by about fifty meters. Every now and then, she would take out her notebook and write something down, her eyes gleaming with the triumphant light of her impending revenge.
But after turning a few corners, the two suddenly quickened their pace and rushed into a side alley.
Bai Xue also sped up, but just as she entered the alley, she was blocked by a man in black.
