"Who exactly are you? Is it, is he, did he send you?"

"Hehe, no need to be nervous. I'm not sent by Brother Shui. I'm here today solely to find you, and moreover, he has absolutely no idea that I've come here."

"Can we talk this out? Please don't hurt us. And whatever he has done, it has nothing to do with me."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't implicate innocent people. Now, I'll give you two minutes to get dressed hurriedly."

"Okay, I got it. Could you, could you possibly wait outside the door for a bit?"

"Sorry, I can't. I can only wait here for you. If you're sensible, hurry up and get dressed. Whatever has been done is done, what's there to be embarrassed about."

As Ye Chen spoke, he took a step back and then sat down on the sofa.

He turned his head to glance at the scattered clothing of the two people, strewn all over the sofa, the bed, and even the floor.

Clearly, the two had just been in the throes of passion.

Ye Chen simply nodded understandingly, then he went over, picked up the clothes scattered around, and threw them all onto the bed.

Since Ye Chen had already gone this far, and since it was impossible to expect him to leave now, the two reluctantly put on their clothes despite their unease.

"Big brother, I, this matter, this matter has nothing to do with me, big brother, please, you mustn't, absolutely cannot involve me in this."

After the man had finished dressing, he suddenly approached Ye Chen, and then he knelt down on the floor with a thud.

This was clearly a greenhorn, likely experiencing such a situation for the first time.

"Get up. This matter has nothing to do with you, and I'm not someone sent by Brother Shui, so I won't make it difficult for you. However, under the current circumstances, you can't leave just yet. Go wait in that room over there for a bit, and later, I'll tell you what to do."

"Okay, big brother, I, I understand. I'll go right away. I won't disturb you, won't cause any trouble."

While speaking, he hurriedly went straight into the inner suite.

Seeing him enter, the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that just as Ye Chen had said, he indeed wasn't a spy sent by Brother Shui.

"Who are you? I seem to recognize most of the people around him."

"That's right, I certainly don't belong to his entourage. If I were one of his men, then my visit today would probably not be on my own behalf, but on behalf of Brother Shui."

"Alright, since you've seen everything, tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything in particular. I'm aware of what sort of relationship you have with Brother Shui. Right now, I'm facing some troubling matters myself and need Brother Shui to show some grace, so I want you to call him."

"What are you saying? You want me to call him? Are you joking? Don't you know I never interfere with his business dealings? I'm currently only managing these nightclubs."

"Oh, is that so? Well, if that is the case, then it seems you are truly bothered by it. However, I wonder if Brother Shui knows that the woman he's financially supporting, the one managing this place, is actually keeping a gigolo here. I'm not sure what his reaction will be when he finds out."

Ye Chen hadn't expected to encounter such a scene, but now he felt like it added greatly to his advantage.

It seemed like an unexpected windfall. If he could really secure this, he believed this woman would be at his beck and call.

"But, I can't guarantee anything with this matter, and please, I beg you, don't, don't tell him, okay? If you tell him, he will definitely, he'll definitely kill me."

"As long as you cooperate well and follow orders, rest assured, I will keep this a secret. And if you don't want to make the call yourself, fine, I can pull out my phone right now and call for you."

"There's no need, I'll call, I'll make the call."

"Good, since that's the case, you'd better make it quick."

It was apparent to the woman that this man meant no good, but she also sensed a hidden murderous intent in his eyes.

Seeing his frail appearance, what exactly had he done to offend Brother Shui?

Now, trapped in this room, amidst such a situation, her only choice was to comply with Ye Chen's demands.

She took out her phone and dialed Brother Shui's number.

The call connected after just two rings, and she quickly heard Brother Shui's voice on the other end.

"Darling, shouldn't you be in bed resting by now? Why are you calling at this time? What's the matter, missing me?"

"Brother Shui, where, where are you right now?"

"Where am I? Where else would I be? I'm at home. What's up? You sound off."

"Brother Shui, I, I'm at the club now, and, and a man has just arrived here."

"What? A man has come? Who?"

"How about, I let him talk to you instead."

Truly unsure of how to proceed and also unclear about what had transpired between the two men, she had no choice but to hand over the phone and then looked towards Ye Chen.

Having this woman set the stage with the call should make clear to Brother Shui the purpose of his own visit.

Eventually, he took the phone and placed it by his ear.

"Brother Shui, hello. Didn't expect we'd be talking again so soon."

"Ye Chen, how did you find that place?"

"Brother Shui, if you don't want something known, better not do it. What, you really think no one knows what you're up to? Don't worry, if I want to investigate, I have plenty of ways to do so."

"What do you want to do? Also, this matter has nothing to do with him. If you'd like to negotiate, fine, I'll give you a chance. I'll send you an address, come over, and we'll talk."
