Chapter Eighteen: Brilliant Bar

  "If possible, I hope you can assist us."

  Ge Yufeng supported his chin with one hand, narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment before saying: "Xia Li lives in Building 5, Room 402, No. 301 Baicheng Street." Mu Shuqin slightly furrowed her brow, this she hadn't expected, "You still haven't answered me."

  Ge Yufeng looked at her with a puzzled expression and said: "You don't believe me, are you annoyed with me?"

  Mushu did not make a sound, with an expression of "I'm like this".

  Ge Yu Feng shook his head, "I've said it before, only I can capture you. Since I've already entered your world, I won't be able to escape like this."

  "Thank you," said Mu Shu with a nod.

  Ge Yufeng smiled and looked at her with a serious expression in his eyes, "There's something I want to ask you, why do you want to go to Gūyì Island?"

  "Are you not an enemy? Can we be considered friends?"

  Ge Yufeng didn't expect her to ask that, "Friend? Well, being friends is fine too, but why does she seem different?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Since we're already friends, you have to help me whenever I need it! And right now, I have something on my mind. I'm going to Artux and I hope you can come with me!"

  "Artush? What did you go there for?"

  "As long as you go with me, you'll eventually find out what you want to know."

  "When."

  March 4th.

  "Okay, I'll take a leave tomorrow."

  Mushen Zhen was delighted to have found a powerful bodyguard, but he didn't know that he had already fallen into the trap set by the sinister Ge Yufeng.

  Brilliant Bar

  Ye Yuexin and Zhou Xiao entered the magnificent bar in broad daylight after nightfall, as for their age, it was not a problem for them at all, even if they were not as good as Shen Yue in disguise, compared to others, they were both excellent, especially Ye Yuexin, who had absolute strength and intelligence far beyond that of ordinary people.

  Ye Yuqin and Zhou Xiao, wearing wigs and human skin masks, sat at the front desk drinking red wine. The bright red color under the multicolored lights emitted a faint glow, making it even more eerie. Ye Yuqin pursed her lips, as if she had applied blood-red lipstick, looking evil and charming. She lowered her head, half-closing her eyes, attracting countless admiring glances at her beauty. This was the effect she wanted - the more attention-grabbing, the better!

  But they can't use their true appearance, although this human skin is not as good as Ye Yue's original skin, it's also very striking. Zhou Xiao still has that lovely look on her face. Zhou Xiao has always been very open-minded, her mentality is like a child, and she won't sit down unless Moon Sister orders her to do so. Ye Yue covers her eyes with her hair, thinking about what the relationship between Nuo Luo and Xia Li is, and what's going on with Shen Yue! From her understanding of herself, she absolutely wouldn't be someone who would sell her soul for a rich young master!

  Lin Ming, Yan Qing, Xia Liang, and Xia Li are in a complex chain of relationships. If we can find a breakthrough point, this matter will be much easier to resolve!

  "Hey, two beauties, come dance with us! Drinking alone here is so boring!" Four men walked over with big smiles on their faces. Ye Yuqin closed her eyes lazily and didn't bother to look at them, thinking that since she didn't know who Lin Ming was, they could just have fun!

  Yè yuè jīn fǔ mèi yī xiào, "ō? wèi shén me a?" Yòu shǒu yāo suō de liǎng zhe jǐ lǚ fà sī.

  English Translation:

  The moonlight gently stroked her charming smile, "Oh? Why?" Her right hand was flirtatiously twirling a few strands of hair.

  Several men with eyes gleaming like wolves stared at her exposed white neck, that small face, and skin so smooth to the touch. They would die for a chance to caress it! Several men's eyes shone with lustful light, and Ye Xinxin thought, why are there so many disgusting and despicable men in this world?!

  "Morning! Let's have some fun with a few brothers!"

  Zhou Xiao glanced at Ye Yuejin with a smile on her face and saw that she nodded slightly after indicating that she understood.

  Several men sneered and reached out to grab Zhou Xiao's hand, but just as they were about to touch her, Zhou Xiao kicked one of them in the crotch and sent him flying with a swift spin. The others hadn't even reacted yet when "ah—" cries of pain filled the air, and the right hands of the other three men had been severed, moving so fast that it was impossible to see what she had done.

  "Oh no! Xiao Er, what are you doing? Weren't you supposed to play with your brothers? How could you let them get hurt so badly?"

  Several men were writhing in pain on the ground, rolling around non-stop. The miserable cries scared the people dancing nearby, who also shouted and ran wildly, instantly throwing the bar into chaos.

  Zhou Xiao held the shiny little knife and innocently looked at Ye Yue Chen, "Sister Moon, isn't this what you meant? Didn't you say that girls can't let men touch them casually?" The man who fell to the ground almost hated her to death, and Bai's talent for infuriating people was even greater!

  A few men slowly got up, and the man who was badly injured said fiercely: "Dare to hurt us, let's see if our brothers don't make you die!"

  Yè Yuè Jìn raised an eyebrow and poured oil on the fire, saying: "Come on? Let's see if you have what it takes!"

  Just as they were about to start fighting, a shout came out, "Halt! Police!"

  Those four men glared at each other, "Alright, consider yourselves lucky this time! Don't let us see you two again! Scram!"

  Zhou Xiao tilted her head and asked, "Yue Jie, why do they want to leave? Aren't we still going to play?" The people around looked at the little girl in horror, indeed, nowadays children are all devils!

  Yue Xiner suppressed a smile and said to the naive child, "They're scared, there are police here, I suppose they often cause trouble in this place."

  "Is it you?" A low male voice sounded.

  Yè yuè jìn raised his head, was it that policeman?

  The police looked at the bloodstains on the ground, but the injured person had already left, frowning and saying, "You also come to a place like this?"

  Zhou Xiao's big black eyes stared at the two people and asked: "Police uncle, do you know Sister Yue?"

  The moonlit night, a sly and cunning gaze from the police officer who looked like he was about to vomit blood. He thought to himself, "Am I really that old?" But he's only 27, not even 30 yet!

  "Doesn't it seem like there are a lot of hoodlums around here? As a police officer, shouldn't you be doing something about it?" Yè Yuè said nonchalantly.

  He responded with a grunt and told the bartender, "Get your boss over here."

  "The staff member said on the phone: 'The boss is still in another province and can't rush back. You can find our manager.' And then went to call him."

  Ye Yuexin thought to herself, how could a service staff possibly have the boss's phone number? If they did, how could they not know that the boss wasn't here? Moreover, it was midnight now, shouldn't they look for the manager first if something happened? This kind of thing should happen often, how could they call the boss just because something small happened?!

  "What do you think, Xu Fan?"

  Xu Fan narrowed his eyes and said firmly, "There must be something wrong with this bar!"

  "But this time I found it first!"

  "Uh-huh."

  The night is so dark and lonely, it's as if I'm just messing around by myself.

  Zhou Xiao Zhang was taken aback. She had never seen Moon Sister look like this before. Had the police officer bullied her? But how could she not have heard it?

  The young waiter brought over a man who appeared to be their manager.

  "Hello, I'm Lin Ming."

  Lin Ming? Who is he? Ye Yuexin and Xu Fan exchanged a glance, Xu Fan's face stern as he scolded, "If this kind of problem happens again, we have the right to shut down this bar! I want to know more about this bar, let's find a quiet place."

  "Alright, this way." He led Xu Fan into a luxurious room and had him sit down. Seeing the two women behind him, he looked puzzled and said: "This..."

  Ye Yuexin naturally walked in and sat on the sofa, with her legs crossed, "Don't mind us, although those few men seemed to be making a move, we were the ones who made the first move. Let me apologize first, don't mind if we listen together." Zhou Xiao also sat down beside her.

  Xu Fan remained silent, acquiescing to their decision, and Lin Ming also stopped talking, letting the staff member go get the wine.

  "Is your name Lin Ming?"

  "Really? You've also heard of me?"

  Ye Yuexin didn't have much time to listen to them rambling on, so she cut straight to the point, "Do you know Shen Xiao?"

  Lin Ming looked at them in confusion, "Shen Xiao? Never heard of him."

  "It's like this, you've heard about the case of a woman's corpse being found at Nanqing Amusement Park before, right? The victim was named Xia Li. Before she died, a woman surnamed Shen who went by the name Saike visited her home and left a note on her desk saying she was going to meet a man named Lin Ming at Huihuang Bar."

  Lin Ming's eyes widened in surprise, as if he really didn't know. "Officer, you can't be suspecting me, can you? I really don't recognize him. If that Xia Li is here to see me, you can check our surveillance system."

  Xu Fan nodded, "Wait." Ye Yuejin shouted to stop them.

  Yue Xi looked at him strangely and said: "Why are you so tense, don't you care about Shen Xiao at all? She went there before Xia Li's death, which means that Xia Li wasn't dead at that time. But Xia Li wasn't home at that time either. Shen Xiao told us that someone had informed her to go there. So who was the note for? I'm curious, why didn't you say it was Shen Xiao who did it first, but instead worried about whether you would be suspected?"

  Lin Ming sighed and said, "Miss, usually when you hear something like this, you'd be worried about yourself. My brain isn't working well, I can't think that much."

  Yue Xuan muttered to herself, "That makes sense too, okay, so do you know Yan Qing?"

  "Yan Qing? Of course I know him, he's a rich young master who often comes here!"

  "It's strange, Shen Xiao came here after seeing that note and met a man named Xia Liang, who introduced Shen Xiao to Yan Qing. I heard Shen Xiao became Yan Qing's lover?"

  "How can you not know who Shen Xiao is if you're so familiar with each other?"

  Zhou Xiao took out a photo and handed it to him, "The people in that photo are Yan Qing and Shen Xiao, right?"

  Lin Ming looked carefully and smiled, saying: "So she's Shen Xiao, huh? I know her, but who is Xia Liang, I don't know. Yan Qing really likes this woman, we've met a few times too, but she's Yan Qing's woman, why would I go out of my way to ask for her name?"

  Xu Fan asked: "Xia Liang, don't you recognize him?"

  "Yes, why didn't you come here to see me? But instead it became Xia Liang?" Lin Ming was confused, what's going on with all this.

  "Then take us to see the surveillance footage."

  。。。。。。

  Zhou Xiao said with a worried look: "Yue Jie, Shen Xiao really is together with that man."

  "It's possible she has a reason for it. Maybe she wants to dig deeper into the case, let's not jump to conclusions so soon."

  Xu Fan said in a low voice: "Inside, Shen Xiao and that so-called Xia Liang's man did not meet, but directly knew Yan Qing."

  Yue Yin looked at him and said, "I think Lin Ming has a problem, it's impossible that there are no flaws at all!"

  Zhou Xiao also didn't know why and said: "I always feel that Lin Ming is a bit strange somewhere?"

  "Alright, you go see Shen Xiao again, and I'll go to Yan Qing's house tomorrow to check if there are any clues."
