Chapter 426 Sister Lan said she'd break your legs
The tiny rented room contained only a broken wardrobe and a bed; you could tell at a glance whether anyone was there or not.
Lan Jie was unwilling to give up, so she opened the bathroom again to check it once more.
Xiao Zhen is indeed not here.
"Where is she? Where did she go?" Sister Lan shouted at Huang Dehan.
"Are you deaf? Didn't I tell you? She's out entertaining clients. If you need anything, call her." Huang Dehan said impatiently.
"Tell her that if she sends my people out to entertain guests again, I'll have her legs broken!" Sister Lan warned fiercely.
So that's what it was about.
Huang Dehan leaned against the doorway, remaining silent.
Lan Jie glared at Huang Dehan and stormed off.
Huang Dehan closed the door and went back to sleep.
However, he just couldn't fall asleep.
He kicked off the blanket, sat up, leaned against the headboard, took out a cigarette and lighter from under the pillow, shook one out, put it in his mouth, lit it, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled.
Thinking about what Sister Lan had just said, a murderous glint flashed in Huang Dehan's eyes.
His main source of income now comes from these girls. Without them, how much money could Xiao Zhen earn by taking customers all by herself?
In short, it's not like he hasn't killed people before; whether he kills one or a hundred, the result is the same.
He had no way out.
He wants to make money and enjoy life to the fullest.
When Xiao Zhen returned from entertaining guests, she was choked by the smoke as soon as she opened the door and started coughing.
She yelled, her face flushed, "Are you kidding me? How many times have I told you not to smoke in the room? It stinks!"
As she spoke, she walked to the window and opened it.
Huang Dehan bent down, picked up the mineral water bottle on the ground, and stuffed the cigarette butt into it.
"Sister Lan just came over."
Xiao Zhen took off her coat, casually draped it over a stool, lay down on the bed, and said irritably, "What's Sister Lan doing here?"
“She said she would break your legs,” Huang Dehan told him truthfully.
Xiao Zhen frowned slightly and looked at Huang Dehan, "What do you mean? Why did you break my leg?"
"She said that her mistresses were not allowed to go out and entertain guests."
Xiao Zhen retorted angrily, "Why should she? We didn't sell ourselves to her. What right does she have to tell us what to do? Where we go to pick up customers is our business. What does it have to do with her? She even wanted to break my legs. Bah!"
As she spoke, Xiao Zhen spat out a loud "Pui!" in great anger.
"Does Sister Lan have any connections here?" Huang Dehan asked.
Xiao Zhen curled her lip and said, "What kind of background could she have? She worked as a prostitute for decades, saved up some money, and then opened a small hair salon here."
"She has no connections, yet she dares to open a hair salon?" Huang Dehan was somewhat skeptical.
"Actually, she does have some background, I guess. She has an old flame who is Brother Long's driver. That old man often comes to the store to see her," Xiao Zhen said.
"Who is Brother Long?"
"Brother Long is the boss here. Everyone who runs a hair salon here has to pay him protection money, otherwise the police would have investigated long ago."
So that's how it is.
"Is Brother Long very powerful?"
"Of course he's impressive. He has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, and he even owns a company."
What kind of company should we start?
"Start a travel company."
Xiao Zhen sighed. At first, she hadn't thought that much about it, but now that she thought about it, she realized she couldn't send the girls out to entertain customers anymore. Otherwise, the owners of those hair salons wouldn't let her off the hook.
"It seems we can't send the girls out to solicit customers anymore, or the hair salon owner won't let us off the hook."
