In early May, at three o'clock in the morning, a torrential downpour began.

Luo Feifei was soaked to the bone, the cold spring rain relentlessly lashing against her thin clothes.

The mixed drinks I'd consumed all night were already churning in my stomach.

Forget about propriety and shame, Luo Feifei quickly walked to the side of the street—ha, what's the point of talking about propriety and shame when you're in their line of work?

A dragon's roar finally provided temporary relief from the discomfort in her stomach, but the wind and rain continued to pour down, and Luo Feifei felt even colder.

A biting wind blew, and Luo Feifei seemed to sense a dark figure not far away, with a pair of bright red eyes staring at her.

As darkness fell and the rain intensified, an overwhelming sense of fear welled up inside me.

Ignoring the churning in her stomach and the relentless spring rain, Luo Feifei plunged into the downpour and rushed home.

"Huff, huff..."

The journey, which usually takes only ten minutes or so, felt exceptionally long to Luo Feifei today.

Finally, seeing the familiar dim streetlights on the street corner, Luo Feifei disregarded her image and used both hands and feet to climb up to the third floor, to the small apartment she shared with her colleague He Yufei.

My hands trembled as I searched for the keys, and I accidentally bumped my thigh, which I had just injured.

"Wow, this rain is terrifying! Were those eyes real?"

I finally opened the door and fumbled to turn on the light in the dark.

Luo Feifei's heart finally settled down when the light filled the small, cluttered room.

The small room contained two single beds, each 1.2 meters wide, two simple, assembled wardrobes, and piles of messy clothes, cosmetics, and other unidentifiable items.

This is Luo Feifei's residence in Tanhua City, her entire world.

Not in the mood to clean up, Luo Feifei quickly stripped off her clothes, which were barely enough to cover her body, jumped onto the bed, wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, and fell into a deep sleep.

The rain stopped, and at noon, under the glaring sunlight, Luo Feifei reluctantly woke up.

I stretched and got up to walk barefoot to the small toilet next to me.

As she passed the empty bed beside her, Luo Feifei asked in confusion, "Who's keeping that little slut Yufei? She hasn't come back in three days."

After taking care of her personal matters, Luo Feifei went back to the bedside, casually grabbed some clothes to put on, crossed her legs, and sat on the bed, skillfully lighting a slightly crumpled women's cigarette from her bag.

Taking a deep breath, the coolness filled her lungs, and Luo Feifei finally came back to life.

He picked up his phone from under his pillow and dialed He Yufei's number.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable..."

"Something doesn't seem right..."

Time flies, and there has been no news of He Yufei for seven days. Manager Wang of the company has asked Luo Feifei more than once where He Yufei has gone, but her phone is still switched off.

Luo Feifei's heart began to race again, and she thought of those eyes from that night.

He Yufei's phone is still switched off. What's wrong with her?

When roll call was taken that evening, Luo Feifei took extra care to remember that, as of today, three of her best friends had disappeared without a trace.

Luo Feifei had also reported this matter to Manager Wang, but unexpectedly, she was scolded by him: "Luo Feifei, have you forgotten your brain in your mother's womb? In our line of work, going to the police is like a birthday girl hanging herself!"

Luo Feifei was also timid, and after being scolded by Manager Wang, she gave up the idea of ​​calling the police.

Another week has quietly passed, and two more of the beauty's girlfriends have lost contact.

At this moment, it was Manager Wang who became somewhat restless. After roll call, he called over Luo Feifei, who was putting on makeup.

"Feifei, hurry up and wash off your heavy makeup, put on some more conservative clothes, and come out with me!"

Luo Feifei put down her eyebrow trimmer and glanced at Manager Wang behind her. He was dressed exceptionally formally tonight, with his tie neatly tied and the buttons on his chest buttoned up elegantly.

It turns out that Manager Wang, despite his serious expression, actually has a certain masculine charm.

After tidying up, the two went out together. After turning a corner, they hailed a taxi on the side of the road.

"Master, patrol the western suburbs!" Manager Wang's tone was exceptionally righteous.

"You mean, five of your hostesses at the Elegant Entertainment Club have gone missing in the past month?" the receptionist asked sternly. "Such a serious matter, why are you only reporting it now!"

Sitting in front of the patrol reception window, Manager Wang had lost his previous composure, and his speech became somewhat slurred.

"Officer, you know, we, we..." Manager Wang paused, not continuing.

The receptionist knew the reason, of course, but didn't press for details. Instead, she picked up the landline next to her.

"This is no small matter. I need to consult with Commander Wei first. You two come with me to the conference room and wait for a moment!"

"Okay, thank you, officer!"

...

June 9th, 4222 of the Cangli calendar, sunny.

When Li Nan received Xiong Sifu's call, he was dealing with a neighborhood dispute in a nearby residential community with a few of his assistants.

There's no way around it; we live in a society governed by the rule of law. Where would all this fighting and killing come from? It's these conspiracies and tricks that allow them to display their power.

Most of the time, the main work of the Stability Bureau was still the daily life of the citizens, trivial matters, and the daily necessities of life.

Upon receiving a rare, urgent call from Xiong Sifu, Li Nan immediately handed over his work to his subordinates and sped back to Andingsi in his Bora 120.

"What? In less than two months, 17 sex workers have gone missing in Tanhua City?"

Li Nan had just sat down to take a sip of tea when she almost vomited it all up.

"Because of the missing person's special status, their disappearance went unnoticed by those around them for a long time. It wasn't until Manager Wang of the Youwu Entertainment Club reported the case to the Xijiaowei Police Station that a corner of this major case was unraveled."
