98 Bar, located on Fenghuang North Road, east of the intersection with Dujuan Second Street, is a DJ bar considered mid-to-upper class in Huadu. Its patrons are generally young people, a place for wannabe second-generation rich to show off and pick up women.
Consequently, the entrance was lined with all sorts of sports cars. Beautiful women dressed provocatively entered in groups of three or five, and all manner of showing off and face-slapping incidents unfolded within.
This bar was, in fact, owned by Ling Xianzong, with Ah Hu, his right-hand man, overseeing the place.
At this moment, a silver Toyota sedan slowly approached the roadside near the bar's entrance. Wan Yunting was driving, looking rather shabby.
Conversely, Niu Qiuling, sitting in the passenger seat, wore a strapless, form-fitting mini-dress that accentuated her magnificent figure. Even with Wan Yunting's strong willpower, a second glance stirred wicked thoughts in his heart, so he avoided looking at Niu Qiuling.
"What's your plan?"
Niu Qiuling gazed at the bar entrance. To go undercover, she first needed to infiltrate Ling Xianzong's circle.
"Haven't decided yet."
Wan Yunting narrowed his eyes. After all, Ling Xianzong had approached him before, only to be rejected back then. If he were to walk in directly now and tell Ah Hu he wanted to join them, it would seem too sudden and make Ling Xianzong suspicious.
Although the police had managed the news blockade last time, preventing outsiders from knowing about his cooperation with them in capturing Chen Tao and Kun Xiong, as an undercover operative, he naturally needed a foolproof plan to join them seamlessly.
"I'll go in first, you follow later. We'll gather some information."
Without another word, Wan Yunting got out of the car and headed towards the bar. Niu Qiuling waited in the car. Only after he had successfully entered the bar did she get out and walk towards it. Her attire was, of course, a disguise as a young lady out to have fun.
Just as Niu Qiuling entered the bar, five sports cars arrived at the entrance.
Among them was a black Lamborghini supercar, belonging to Han Yuze!
Upon seeing the multi-million dollar supercar, the bar staff immediately recognized that truly wealthy individuals had arrived and quickly dispatched a group of attractive female servers to welcome them.
"Welcome, welcome, Young Master Guo, please come in..."
Han Yuze stepped out of the car, shedding his pretense of being a gentle gentleman. He adopted an arrogant, self-important demeanor and entered the bar with his companions.
"This dump, is it even fun?" Han Yuze said disdainfully, looking at the bar's decor.
"Young Master Han, while the place is a bit shabby, the women here are quite enjoyable!"
Accompanying him was a young man named Guo Kainian, the son of the chairman of Huadu Guo Group, and Han Yuze's lackey. After all, the Han family was an influential clan in Huadu.
"Heh heh, Young Master Han, shall we organize a group activity tonight?" another young man, also a rich second-generation, said with a wicked grin.
"Sure, let's organize one. It's been a while since I've played in China!"
Han Yuze nodded, a lecherous smile on his face. It was clear he often organized such "group activities" abroad.
Led by the bar manager, they were directly seated in the most luxurious "Emperor's Seat" right in the center of the stage.
At that moment, the surrounding ladies, seeing them occupy this prime spot, knew that the wealthiest individuals of the night had arrived.
Moreover, Guo Kainian immediately ordered several bottles of Ace of Spades, and Han Yuze waved his hand, causing the DJ on stage to exclaim excitedly, "All consumption tonight is on Young Master Han!"
"Wow..."
As the announcement echoed, the entire venue erupted in cheers, pushing the atmosphere to its peak. Many young ladies flocked towards Han Yuze and his companions, eager to get close to him.
Wan Yunting, sitting in a corner, naturally saw Han Yuze.
"Hoo, so it's him!"
Wan Yunting recognized Han Yuze at a glance and smiled.
Observing this fellow now, with his air of an arrogant scion of a noble family, it was a stark contrast to the polite and humble gentleman he had presented during their first meeting.
It seemed he put on a different act for different people.
Han Yuze, turning his head casually, also spotted Wan Yunting in the corner, causing his eyes to narrow. "Why is this kid here?"
"Young Master Han, do you know him?" Guo Kainian asked.
"Just a nobody, not really acquainted," Han Yuze replied with a slight shake of his head, a sinister smile playing on his lips. "I don't want to see him right now; he's an eyesore!"
"That's easily done. I'll have someone get rid of him right away."
With that, Guo Kainian waved his hand. The bar manager, Old Hei, scurried over. "Young Master Guo, what are your orders?"
"See that person over there?" Guo Kainian pointed to Wan Yunting. "Get him out!"
The bar manager was taken aback, looking somewhat troubled. "Young Master Guo, kicking out a customer without a reason goes against our bar's rules."
This remark displeased Guo Kainian. "If you don't kick him out tonight, Young Master Han and I will leave immediately and never come here again. So, make your choice."
"No, no, no, Young Master Guo, please don't be angry. I'll have him removed right away." Manager Old Hei unhesitatingly chose the latter.
After all, these young masters like Guo Kainian spent hundreds of thousands on a single visit, so it was obvious to anyone how to choose.
Immediately, Old Hei called over two of the bar's security guards and directly told Wan Yunting, "Brother, you cannot consume alone in our bar, so please leave!"
However, Wan Yunting had witnessed the conversation between them and Han Yuze. Now, seeing the manager Old Hei directly attempting to remove him, he wondered if Han Yuze had orchestrated it.
Han Yuze, seated in the "Emperor's Seat," turned his head and met Wan Yunting's gaze provocatively, a playful, sinister smile on his face.
This made Wan Yunting chuckle and shake his head at the manager. "And if I refuse to leave?"
"Then I apologize, but we will have to forcibly escort you out!"
Old Hei, looking at Wan Yunting's shabby attire, felt even more certain of his choice.
"Heh heh..."
Wan Yunting picked up a cigarette from the table, tapped the edge of the pack with his index finger, flicking out a cigarette. He placed it in his mouth, then took out a lighter, slowly lit it, took a puff, and leisurely exhaled smoke. Leaning back comfortably in the booth, he crossed his legs and smiled at the manager, "Have you considered the consequences of doing this?"
Old Hei raised an eyebrow. Facing Wan Yunting's calm and collected demeanor, for some reason, his gut told him this man was not simple.
Could he be faking it?
"Kid, you really won't listen to advice?" Old Hei said again, his face darkening.
Niu Qiuling, seated in the adjacent booth, saw this and got up to come over. However, Wan Yunting patted the armrest, signaling her not to reveal herself, assuring her he could handle it.
"Take him out!"
Old Hei, impatient, convinced the kid was just putting on an act, waved his hand, motioning for two burly security guards to go forward and forcibly escort Wan Yunting out.
This scene caused Han Yuze and Guo Kainian, seated in the "Emperor's Seat," to chuckle and sip their drinks.
He didn't take Wan Yunting seriously at all.
"Stop!"
Just then, the imposing figure of Meng Hu appeared. He strode forward and slapped Manager Old Hei across the face. "Are you f—king looking for death, daring to lay a hand on Boss Wan!"
This sudden turn of events stunned Han Yuze and Guo Kainian.
The fallen Old Hei, stunned, clutched his bruised face and watched as his "Boss" Meng Hu kicked away the two security guards who were about to grab Wan Yunting.
Meng Hu immediately bowed and scraped, acting like a grandson greeting his grandfather, and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Boss Wan. It's my fault for not disciplining my subordinates properly. I'll slap myself to apologize..."
Saying this, Meng Hu slapped himself repeatedly, shocking everyone present, who watched the scene in disbelief.
