On the quiet dock, a dilapidated little boat slowly approaches the shore.
A faint light flickered a few times from the opposite side, and the man on the boat swayed a few times as well. After the coded signal was given, the boat slowly approached the shore.
Three men soon disembarked from the boat, and the other party, seeing that they were their own people, quickly stepped forward to hand them over.
"Same as always, deliver the goods to Nanshan, and have someone pick them out tomorrow."
The man waved his hand behind him, and the girls on the boat disembarked one by one, unaware of the fate that awaited them.
After the girls disembarked, some were happy and some were apprehensive. One of the girls went up to He Tao and grabbed his arm.
"Brother Tao, didn't you say you were bringing us here to make money? Where are we going now?"
He Tao is He Kun's younger brother, and he is specifically responsible for receiving goods from the mainland.
"It's too late today, I'll start taking you to your workplaces tomorrow."
Before the group had taken more than a few steps, a series of disordered footsteps came from not far away.
"Police! Don't move!"
Upon hearing the word "police," He Tao and the others scattered in all directions like cats seeing mice.
The group of girls were surrounded by police before they even knew what was happening.
"Hands up! Don't move."
Li Yang ran up to Bai Yi and reported, "Boss, we caught five, and two escaped."
Bai Yi is the team leader for this mission. He is tall and handsome, and his righteousness cannot hide his sharp edge.
He was originally in the anti-drug squad, but the anti-prostitution squad received a tip that a shipment of goods would be arriving tonight. The anti-prostitution squad was short-staffed, so their superiors had to send them to help.
Fortunately, the good news was accurate; this time, more than a dozen people were successfully rescued and five were captured.
A group of people came silently and left in a grand procession. As soon as Bai Yi got into the car, his phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, a smile appeared on his lips.
"What's up?"
A lazy male voice came from the other end of the line, "Officer Bai, is this how you treat a good citizen like me?"
"Oh! I risked my life to deliver this message to you. If I'm ever chased and attacked, you must come and save me."
Bai Yi was speechless. "Young Master He, you're the heir to a gangster's scheme? Do you need me to save you?"
He Ci's tone was a little sticky, "Bai Sir, don't you dare to betray me after I've served my purpose. I'm a good citizen, you have to protect me."
Bai Yi felt a chill run down his spine. "Speak properly. Why would you send me a message this time? You're not the type to meddle in other people's business."
He Ci's heart softened at the thought of Su Ning. "I want to try to be a good person. If I get arrested one day, you have to plead for me."
Bai Yi took it as a joke, but he never expected that what he said today would later come true.
The ballroom was ablaze with colorful neon lights, and deafening music filled every corner. He Ci hung up the phone and tossed it onto the table.
He sat lazily on the sofa, propping his head up with his hand. The others had also heard what He Ci had just said.
Qi Yan asked suspiciously, "Aci! Aren't you afraid your father will chop you up with a knife if you ruin your own business like this?"
He Ci didn't reply to Qi Yan but instead spoke to Lu Zhou, "Big Lawyer, if I get in there, remember to bail me out."
Lu Zhou pushed up his glasses. "Then you'd better try to be a good person, so I can protect you later."
Xiao Lin raised his glass. "Bai Yi is probably too busy to come today. Let's have some fun, brothers."
He Ci raised his wine glass, clinked it with theirs, and drank it all in one gulp. Then he got up to leave.
"It's getting late, you should all go home soon."
Qi Yan glanced at his phone. "Aci! It's only eight o'clock, the nightlife hasn't even started yet!"
He Ci picked up his coat. "I'm going home to take care of the cat. She'll be scared if it gets late."
Qi Yan's voice came again, "When did you get this cat? Isn't it a nocturnal animal? Why would it be afraid of the dark?"
He Ci didn't speak; his smile didn't reach his eyes before he turned and left.
Xiao Lin sensed something was amiss, so he patted Qi Yan on the shoulder.
"Dude! Can't you stop being so naive?"
