Lu Feng stepped inside, and Manager Bai took two steps forward and said to Bai Meihua, "Let me find you a place to stay first. I'll talk to you when I'm done. Um... Xiao Zhao, please get her a room."
The Emperor's Hall was very large, about 60 or 70 square meters in size. The walls were upholstered, the lighting was dim, and there were several sets of genuine leather sofas. Behind them was a screen, and Lu Feng could see a bed behind the screen, but he couldn't see anything else.
A middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa, soaking his feet. A young woman was standing behind him, massaging his shoulders. She had a cigar in her hand and was looking Lu Feng up and down. She then tapped the cigar into the ashtray.
"I've been waiting for Mr. Lu for ages! I only know he exists, but I've never actually met him," Ke Bing said.
“I wanted to leave. I met He Jiale on my first day and wanted to leave, but he couldn’t stop me. You managed to keep me here.” Lu Feng stood in front of the large coffee table, picked up a grape from the fruit plate, ate it, and said, “You’re really something!”
"No one can keep anyone else; those who stay are the ones who don't want to leave!" Ke Bing pointed to the single sofa next to him and said, "Sit down."
Lu Feng sat down.
"Put the buckets on!"
A scantily clad girl brought over a wooden tub, squatted down to take off Lu Feng's shoes, and started by giving him a simple foot massage.
As he put his feet into the hot water, Lu Feng hissed.
"Aren't you having fun?"
"good!"
"What do you want?" Ke Bing turned his head to look at Lu Feng and asked, "Say it straight, I don't like beating around the bush."
"I don't want to beat around the bush, so what exactly did I take from you?" Lu Feng asked, looking at him.
"President Lu, I know you're smart, but you can't treat me like an idiot, can you? We've talked back and forth several times already, can't you even understand a simple sentence?" Ke Bing said, somewhat annoyed.
We're all sitting here, can't we at least have an honest chat?
“There’s a misunderstanding between us!” Lu Feng said in a deep voice.
"Bring those two people over here," Ke Bing ordered Prince Hui.
Prince Hui turned around and left. Manager Bai, wearing high heels, walked to Ke Bing's side and sat on the armrest.
"You get out too!"
"Mr. Ke, I just want to spend more time with you," Manager Bai said in a sweet voice, wrapping her arms around Mr. Ke's neck.
"Ugh, this is so annoying!" Ke Bing shoved her, knocking her off the armrest and onto the ground. Manager Bai got up with a gloomy face, but the next second she put on a smile and sat back on the armrest.
A few minutes later, Prince Hui returned, followed by an old leather jacket and a bearded man. The two of them were also taken aback when they saw Lu Feng again, and greeted Ke Bing: "Hello, President Ke."
"Yes!" Ke Bing nodded and asked, "Does President Lu know them?"
"Two thieves on the train!"
“You’re a thief too. It’s him, it’s this guy.” The old leather jacket pointed at Lu Feng and said, “He’s with those two, and there’s a young woman with him too.”
"I don't know those two people, so why can't I explain it?" Lu Feng said, troubled.
"Don't know him? When those two were messing with you, which man stepped in to help you?" Ke Bing said sinisterly, "President Lu, this kind of conversation is no fun."
"Just tell me, what's missing? I'll take the loss. The price wasn't too high, I'll compensate you!"
"The ledger!"
"What?"
"As for the ledger, the several hundred thousand yuan is dispensable. Mr. Lu, just hand it over. This thing is a ticking time bomb for you; it won't do you any good."
Lu Feng had no idea about any ledgers and repeatedly denied it, but the other party simply didn't believe him.
Ke Bing was already annoyed by the questions, so he pulled his foot out, and the woman squatting next to him dried it with a towel.
...
The atmosphere inside the police station wasn't good; a man in his forties was rubbing his face in frustration.
"Deputy Director, what's wrong?"
"They got scolded, but can they ever bring back those people they let go?"
"Why are they arresting and releasing people, then arresting them again?"
"Is it any of your business? Arrest them all again, now!"
"Those people are all employees of the VIP security department."
"I don't care if he's a VIP or a husky, execute the order!"
Two police cars sped away with their sirens blaring, standing out brightly against the night sky.
.................
"President Lu, my patience is limited. Don't think I'm easy to talk to or that I don't want to get serious with you. I know very well who's behind you, but you may not know who's behind me. We're just employees." Ke Bing's voice was full of threat.
“President Ke, I’ve said it many times before. If you ask me to produce something I don’t have, I really can’t. Since it was that couple who stole it, go find them. I’m here today to make things clear: there’s absolutely nothing between me and He Jiale. It won’t affect your interests, including the interests of the person you call ‘the one above’!” Lu Feng said in a deep voice.
