Xia Bingyan was kept in Tan Bing's office by Shen Lang as a hostage.

He then led Dongxue to Zhuge Jing's room. After confirming that no one was in the room, he took out the hotel general affairs card that Tan Bing had given him, opened the door, and let Dongxue go in first.

Dongxue thought Shen Lang wanted her to detect if there was any danger inside. After checking for a while, she walked to the door and said to Shen Lang, "Young Master, there is no problem."

Shen Lang then went inside as well.

Upon entering the room, what catches the eye are various colors of high-end stockings and several pieces of black, revealing underwear hanging on the balcony.

"???" Shen Lang looked at Dong Xue with a puzzled expression, pointed to the clothes on the balcony and asked, "Is this what you call no problem?"

Upon hearing this, Dongxue hurriedly stepped in front of Shen Lang and said, "Young Master, please step back. I'll go check it out."

Shen Lang rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Check my ass! Don't you know to put her clothes away? You're making me really embarrassed!"

"Ah!" Dongxue suddenly realized, her face flushed with an embarrassed smile: "Young master, this... I... I'll go collect it right now..."

Then, with lightning speed, she took the clothes hanging on the balcony and put them on the bed in the bedroom, covering them with a blanket.

After finishing everything, Dongxue returned to Shen Lang's side, her face flushed and too shy to speak.

Shen Lang then took out WeChat and sent a message to Tan Bing: "President Tan, please have Bingyan keep an eye on the surveillance. If Zhuge Jing returns, have her notify me."

"OK!"

Shen Lang and Dong Xue then sat on the sofa in the living room without saying a word.

As evening approached, Xia Bingyan sent Shen Lang a WeChat message: "President Shen, Zhuge Jing is back. She's alone and hasn't brought anything with her."

Shen Lang: Okay.

Two minutes later, the door beeped, and then the lock turned, and a woman dressed in high fashion, wearing a sun hat and a pair of Tyrannosaurus Rex sunglasses walked into the room.

When she saw someone sitting on the sofa, she turned around and tried to run away.

However, a seemingly slender, fair hand gripped her shoulder, and a cold female voice sounded behind her: "Miss Zhuge, my young master wishes to speak with you."

"Hehe, wait a minute, I forgot something. I'll go to the front desk to get it. I'll catch up with your young master when I get back," Zhuge Jing said awkwardly, then prepared to rush out.

But she found that the hand gripping her shoulder was unusually strong, fixing her in place and preventing her from moving an inch.

"Stop struggling." Dongxue gently closed the door with her other hand, then, in a flash, she and Zhuge Jing appeared in front of Shen Lang.

Zhuge Jing looked at the handsome man with long hair in front of her and waved, saying, "Hi~ Hello handsome! Haven't we met somewhere before?"

Shen Lang looked at her and laughed, "Zhuge Jing, stop pretending. The fact that I was able to find my way here proves that you have no secrets from me."

Zhuge Jing weakly removed her glasses and hat, revealing a heavily made-up face. Looking at Shen Lang, she asked in a flat tone, "Who are you? How did you find me?"

She thought her disguise was very good, but she didn't expect to be seen through.

Shen Lang smiled and placed the central government's investigation documents in front of Zhuge Jing, saying, "Miss Zhuge, who I am is not important. What is important is that I can help you get out of your current predicament."

"For the past year or so, even though I've been staying in five-star hotels, it must have been very uncomfortable to hide myself like this all the time."

Zhuge Jing sat opposite Shen Lang and asked, "What do you want?"

Shen Lang lit a cigarette and said bluntly, "I need criminal information about Scorpion and Lü Weidong's collusion in drug trafficking. I know you have it."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Jing's face turned cold, and she said in an icy tone, "Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about."

He then stood up and said to Shen Lang, "Please leave, I need to rest."

"Stop pretending, Zhuge Jing." Shen Lang then took out his phone and placed the central government's investigation documents in front of her, saying, "I am now representing the central government to investigate Lü Weidong, so I hope you will cooperate, otherwise no one can save you."

As soon as Shen Lang finished speaking, Dong Xue's longsword appeared at Zhuge Jing's neck.

"Ha, is this how the central government operates?" Zhuge Jing looked at the chilling sword at her neck and sneered.

Shen Lang shook his head and said, "You misunderstand. I am just doing things for the imperial court, which does not mean that I am a member of the imperial court. Moreover, if I cannot get Lu Weidong's criminal information from you, then you are of no use to me."

He then slowly walked up to Zhuge Jing and said in a low voice, "Even if I kill you now, I will not bear any guilt."

He then glanced at the time on his watch and said, "I don't have time to waste with you now. I'll give you three minutes to think it over."

Zhuge Jing stared intently at Shen Lang and asked, "What benefits would I get from handing this over to you?"

“Miss Zhuge, you don’t seem to understand your current situation, do you?” Shen Lang looked at her, naturally spreading his hands and laughing mockingly, “You have no bargaining power with me right now. The reason you can still safely enter and leave the Star Domain Hotel is because Lü Weidong doesn’t know about your existence. Liu Huimin is doing business with Scorpion in private, and she doesn’t dare let Lü Weidong know about it, so she hasn’t reported it. Otherwise, do you think you can still enter and leave this top-tier hotel every day and eat delicacies?”

"Do you think you're holding a treasure mountain that will ensure you a life of comfort and wealth for the rest of your days? Haha, what you're carrying is nothing more than a ticking time bomb that hasn't been detonated yet."

“You can turn yourself in to the police station now, but as the person involved, you should know better than me what happens to drug traffickers in our Yanhuang country. Even if you hire the top lawyers on Earth to defend you and escape the death penalty, you can forget about ever walking out of prison for the rest of your life.”

Then Shen Lang gently lifted Zhuge Jing's chin with his hand and said softly, "The only thing you can do now is hand over the things to me, and I can guarantee that you can live the rest of your life like a normal person, provided that you don't do anything reckless. Understand?"

After listening to Shen Lang's words, Zhuge Jing closed her eyes, her facial muscles twitching slightly. Then she opened her eyes and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Seeing that Zhuge Jing had compromised, Shen Lang waved to Dong Xue, who then put away her longsword.

Once free, Zhuge Jing turned around and went back to her bedroom, where she took out a laptop and a hard drive and handed them to Shen Lang.

"This hard drive contains evidence and transaction details of Scorpion's drug trafficking to Lü Weidong over the years, as well as evidence and details of Black Dragon from Yucheng District setting up underground banks and casinos for Lü Weidong, and Lü Weidong's money laundering channels and overseas accounts."
