Chen Meihua and Zhong Qian didn't recognize Xie Jinzhou. After leaving the Nightclub, they didn't plan to go back to Fengting Club. They were both a little scared, so they met up with their assistants and took a taxi back.

Xie Jinzhou didn't force him, which saved him the trouble of driving people there. Now that he had a domineering wife at home, he consciously kept his distance from women.

While waiting for the car, Chen Meihua seemed to see a familiar face walking towards the Nightclub.

She breathed a sigh of relief when the man brushed past them.

It wasn't that person after all; they just looked somewhat alike.

In the past few days, Mo Ziqin has tried to contact Jingsheng Company on behalf of the Mo family, saying that there is a cooperative project to discuss with Master Lu.

However, he only met Yang Shaoyan, the chief assistant of Jingsheng Group, and did not meet the person in question.

He had actually considered approaching the Huo family, but it wasn't that the Huo family was uncooperative; it was just that the Huo family and the Mo family had many competing projects, making it difficult for the two families to discuss cooperation.

In addition, Huang Ge and his dozen or so men in the private room instantly lost their mood for having fun and left one after another.

A few people were slow to realize that they had somehow ended up at the Nightclub.

I started to regret it and worried that the director and boss would hold me accountable.

After seeing the man off, Sun Jianbin returned to Liu Wenqing's private room and asked worriedly, "Young Master Liu, could it be that the police are watching the club?"

Liu Wenqing shook the wine glass in his hand, his expression relaxed, and gave a simple analysis: "Only a few people came. They must have heard something and wanted to investigate. Actually, it's just right."

Our Nightclub has a bad reputation in Beijing, and people are bound to be suspicious of us.

This time, we openly showed it to the police, thinking that this was our most hidden side.

They use harsh methods and have a lot of thugs; it's a place where people indulge in debauchery and have a lot of fun.

We were warned, then we restrained ourselves and made rectifications, and they were basically able to rest easy.

Otherwise, if they had found nothing wrong with Nightclub when they arrived, it would have been different.

It's very likely they'll send even more secretive people to investigate us.

Now it seems we can actually rest assured.

Next time, we can go big and make a fortune.

Sun Jianbin pondered for a moment, then seemed to understand: "You mean, if the police have come once, they won't be suspicious anymore?"

That's fantastic! Since the club opened, they've already earned in just two auctions what they normally earn in a year.

He had been preparing for the third time for a long time, just waiting for the right moment to begin.

Of course, this auction is not the same as that auction.

Who would have thought they would dare to put such contraband at auction with clear price tags?

Even seasoned investigators wouldn't have guessed this.

Back when 'Black Eagle Hall' was still around, it was much easier for them to get supplies.

Now they can only rely on overseas channels. Their Nightclub saw the business opportunity in this and provided an auction venue, taking a high commission.

The club facilitates the transactions between buyers and sellers, using sealed bids to exchange what they need.

It's like an underground market, trading not just contraband, but any imaginable goods.

For example, the human body, organs, cultural relics...

To outsiders, the most shameful thing about nightclubs is the exchange of money for sex, but that's just a cover.

Such a grand auction was certainly not held in a club, but in different provinces and cities.

The club is simply a transit point for the exchange of goods information, where buyers and sellers leave their trading needs and receive an admission ticket.

The various goods are labeled with numbers in advance, and when the auction starts, bids are placed directly. The pick-up locations are also different for each type of goods.

This is also why Liu Wenqing dared to be so bold, since the three parties involved had no direct connection.

He felt that even if someone noticed something was wrong with the auction, he could easily extricate himself, and it wouldn't have much to do with the Nightclub.

And the Nightclub had no direct connection with him.

Just then, someone knocked on the door of the private room: "Young Master Liu, the second young master of the Mo family, Mo Ziqin, who moved back from overseas, is looking for you."

......

After returning to the police station, Shen Changxing compiled and archived any unusual details he had seen that night, and then sent a copy to Chen Jinhua.

After handing over his duties, Chen Jinhua reported the leads he had been following up on to the lieutenant general.

There are many private rooms, especially small ones, with good soundproofing. Is it so that it's convenient for men and women to have sex?

It doesn't feel like that at all; it feels more like a business negotiation!

People who went inside were very relaxed and at ease, as if they were there to eat, drink, and have fun.

Looking back on the past few days, Chen Jinhua noticed that the guests who came and went all left with very satisfied expressions.

If the satisfaction is simply due to the good food and fun activities, then the service there is truly amazing.

She also noticed that the customers coming and going came from a variety of professions.

After screening and categorizing, it turned out that more than half of them were from other places, while people from Beijing did not go there very often.

Is there any service or need that can only be obtained by coming here?

Perhaps we need to investigate the backgrounds, identities, and hidden needs of those guests in more detail.

One of the clues caught Chen Jinhua's special attention; it was someone else in her team who was following up on it.

A wealthy businessman from Guizhou province, whose son has congenital heart disease, actually had the audacity to travel all the way to Beijing's Nightclub for entertainment.

Does the club have some kind of miracle drug or miracle doctor?

"Lieutenant General, based on the clues we've uncovered, this Nightclub seems to be getting more and more unfathomable."

"Did we suspect something wrong?"

Chen Jinhua's worst-case scenario was that he would sell contraband to his customers.

It now appears that there are still things they don't know.

The lieutenant general's expression was solemn: "Indeed, they are completely unscrupulous and have no sense of being secretive because they are truly just operating in a gray area and are not afraid of the consequences of punishment."

Or do they think we can't find any evidence, and therefore feel emboldened?

"I think they're fearless!" Chen Jinhua was certain that Nightclub had something wrong with it, and it wasn't just a small-scale operation on the surface.

At this moment, she actually felt that the Nightclub forcing women into prostitution was a trivial matter.

"I will increase the number of investigators, and also consult with higher authorities, the police station, the anti-drug team, the armed police, and other parties to coordinate a joint operation."

Their special forces are primarily responsible for addressing major security threats, including but not limited to investigating various illegal and criminal activities.

These are truly turbulent times. I wonder if that transnational smuggling group is involved in this matter. I'll have to discuss it with Lu Laoqi later.

......

Before we knew it, it was November 1st, and tomorrow would be Grandpa Lu's 70th birthday banquet.

This experimental project does not require Chen Xihua to remain in seclusion for an extended period.

Because she wasn't a medical student, she had many questions that required consulting with professors or teachers specializing in medicine.

In Guangdong Province, an outbreak has indeed occurred, caused by an epidemic spread by wild animals. The Chinese health authorities have dispatched personnel to the province.

Once the confirmed information comes back from the other side, Chen Xihua believes that with Professor Ning's involvement, the antiviral drug she is researching should be able to be tested soon.

She knew about the stupid things her third sister had done in the previous two weeks, the fourth sister's entry into the mathematical proof group, and the second sister's more intense tasks.

Then there's Lu Zhengjing, who sends her three text messages every day without fail. Last Sunday afternoon, when she had a half-day off, he came to the school to see her and they even had a meal at Weixuanyuan.

The two got along quite comfortably; their relationship was neither dramatic nor bland.

Sometimes I would coax her, like a little girl, and have someone deliver a small surprise to her school; other times I would chat with her, the boss of a large corporation, about investment and tourism development.
