Even after returning to their dormitory, Jian Rong and the others still felt a little embarrassed.

However, it seems that the Zhao family is happy to see Zhao Xunkan and Tao Yue become a couple.

Thinking about this, everyone felt somewhat relieved.

They returned to the dormitory first. Tao Yue had at least met her boyfriend. Even if they didn't go out on a date, they still needed to be affectionate. No one was so tactless as to ask Tao Yue where she was now.

Shi Jing read for a while and soon received a message from Sister Nan.

The surveillance footage has been obtained. Not only that, Liang Qiu also investigated Meng Ge's gang and unexpectedly discovered some good stuff.

Zhang Meng and his group, although they were also members of the wealthy second-generation circle in Beijing, were also involved with some powerful third-generation figures, and even had some black industry chains that could not be exposed to the public eye.

Liang Qiu stopped short of investigating further.

People in the upper class know some of the inside story about these things, but it's not something they can talk about openly.

Shi Jing is just an ordinary businessman; there's no need for him to get involved in too many things.

Of course, the fact that Liang Qiu couldn't find more detailed information due to the short time was also one of the reasons.

"So that's how it is." After seeing Sister Nan's report, Shi Jing finally understood why Zhang Meng was confident enough to trick the Qin family, and why the Qin family could only accept their fate and send their juniors abroad.

It can only be said that this person has powerful and influential backing. It's fine if you don't get involved, but once you do, there will be a lot of trouble.

Shi Jing did not issue an order to investigate the forces behind Zhang Meng; she simply sent a message reminding them to be careful.

However, what Shi Jing didn't know was that even without Zhang Meng, the forces behind him had already taken notice of her.

*

Inside the most luxurious Jinshan Club in Beijing, a group of wealthy and influential young people were making a ruckus.

The luxurious private rooms were filled with handsome men and beautiful women, a veritable feast of wine and women.

The man in the lead looked to be in his early twenties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and dressed like a refined scoundrel.

He had one arm around a curvaceous woman, while casually sipping his wine in the other.

In front of him, Zhang Meng was standing obediently, reporting on the conflict that had occurred that day.

Despite his nonchalant attitude, the beautiful woman he was holding didn't dare to utter a single word.

After Zhang Meng finished speaking, the man put down his wine glass, crossed his legs, and relaxed against the back of the sofa.

"How many times have you provoked Zhao Xunkan?"

Zhang Meng's lips moved, but he didn't dare to say anything. After a while, he said weakly, "I'm sorry, Young Master Yun."

“Every time Zhao Xunkan makes the slightest move, you rush to provoke him. What, is he the only one you see?”

The man called Young Master Yun spoke while staring at Zhang Meng with eyes as sharp as a venomous snake.

As Zhang Meng was stared at like that, cold sweat gradually seeped from his forehead.

"I haven't treated you badly by entrusting Ausun to you, have I?"

"No, no," Zhang Meng stammered.

Seeing Zhang Meng's behavior, Young Master Yun was furious and couldn't help but kick the coffee table hard: "Then how dare you ignore what I said!"

The private room fell silent instantly after that kick, with only the soft, seductive music still playing from the TV stereo.

Seeing that Young Master Yun had lost his temper, everyone looked at each other, none of them daring to be the first to speak out.

"Young Master Yun..." After a long silence, Zhang Meng forced himself to admit his mistake, "It was my fault. I shouldn't have continued to cause trouble for Zhao Xunkan..."

Yun Shao pointed at him and said, "If you're capable, you can lure him into gambling, whoring, and drugs. If you can do that, I won't interfere. But if you're not capable, then you should stay put and stay away from him!"

"yes……"

"This is the last time. If you cause me any more trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Zhang Meng, don't let me down."

As he spoke, Young Master Yun patted Zhang Meng's cheek.

Seeing that this outburst of temper had subsided quickly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Those who understood the situation quickly stepped forward to light cigarettes and pour drinks for Young Master Yun.

Some clever ones had already given up their seats and called a waiter to clean up the mess.

Yun Shao had been furious, but he had calmed down a lot by now, and Zhang Meng was obediently standing by his side to serve him.

The woman who had been by Yun Shao's side now obediently walked to the karaoke booth and joined the other women, not disturbing their conversation.

After calming down, Young Master Yun took a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring.

He looked at Zhang Meng before asking, "You just said you met a woman named Shi Jing?"

"Yes, Young Master Yun. My subordinate Cai Fanghai has seen her several times; there's no mistake."

At that moment, one of the waiters, who was cleaning up the mess, suddenly paused slightly.

The waiters here have all undergone rigorous training before starting their jobs. The waiters moved quickly and lightly, and soon resumed their normal cleaning routine.

None of the people talking noticed anything amiss and continued their conversation.

"What a small world."

Young Master Yun smoked his cigarette, seemingly lost in thought. After smoking half of it, he calmly stubbed it out in the ashtray and said, "Things are getting tense lately, so be on your guard. Don't make any rash moves."

"Don't worry, we know what we're doing."

With just a few words, the waiters had tidied up the coffee table and quietly left.

Their upscale clubs cater to the second and third generations of the wealthy and powerful, and they've seen scenes like this countless times before; they've even witnessed more chaotic situations than today.

These waiters are tight-lipped; they've long since learned how to survive in this club.

The same is true today.

After cleaning the private room, the waiters dealt with the broken bottles and glasses and returned to the staff preparation room, remaining silent about everything that had just happened in the room.

Everyone is on standby, waiting for the next shift.

It wasn't until 2 a.m., when the club's staff changed shifts, that everyone packed up their belongings and prepared to leave.

Luo Yuan worked quickly and soon changed out of his uniform and put it in the closet.

He didn't bring a bag, only a cell phone locked in a cabinet. After changing into casual clothes, he retrieved his phone and left the club with practiced ease.

Breathing in the early morning air of the city streets, he finally relaxed a little.

Working in such a high-end club offers very generous compensation, but the pressure is also immense.

He went to the employee parking space to get his electric scooter, put on his helmet, and sped home.

He didn't fully relax until he got home.

Only when he lay on the single bed in his small rented room did he have the mind to recall what he had heard that day.

Time Mirror?

Could it be someone with the same name?

The surname Shi is not common, and it's in the capital city, and it's also a woman...

The thought that the person might be the benefactor who sponsored his orphanage made Luo Yuan feel a little worried.

He couldn't help but rub his face. It was almost four in the morning, and most people were still fast asleep.

Forget it, I'll just go to sleep first, and we can talk about the rest tomorrow morning.
