Chapter 47

After settling Ruan Qingshuang and the others, Dan Hongning didn't dare to waste any more time and hurriedly drove back to the herbal restaurant. Before leaving, he instructed one of his subordinates to wait, ready to drive them back as soon as they finished their meal and wanted to leave.

Soon, Xiao Fei returned from the hospital with Pang Gang, and Dan Hongning also got out of the car at this moment.

Seeing everyone gathered, Xu Yun smiled slightly, "What do you want to eat? Eat until you're full, then go take a bath."

Kong Zhong and Lü Feng looked as if they had been hit by a bucket of mixed flavors, feeling a strange mix of emotions.

"Brother, why don't we just go to my place to eat?" Dan Hongning was a bit puzzled. He really wanted to stay at his hot pot restaurant and try to win the favor of the boss and the police officer.

Xu Yun glared at him, "If I could go, wouldn't I have gone already? Do you think I want to save you money? Stop talking nonsense. You run a hot pot restaurant, so you must know where the good places are. Lead the way, everyone get in the car!"

Xu Yun's face showed impatience, and the Three Tigers of South City instantly felt like walking on thin ice, all being very cautious and not daring to speak out of turn. After everyone got in the car, Dan Hongning led them to an ecological garden restaurant, ordering the highest standard meal at 300 yuan per person, plus two bottles of the most expensive white wine.

Dan Hongning still didn't know why they were going to take a bath after eating, and he was quite puzzled. It wasn't until they were eating that he found out Xu Yun's idea of "taking a bath" was to go to Fan Nanjie's Tropical Rainforest Bathhouse, which almost made him mentally collapse.

Qiangzi recounted everything he knew: "The Tropical Rainforest Bathhouse is Fan Nanjie's pride. It's said he spent a lot of money to smooth things over to open this place. He goes to the VIP room on the fourth floor every night, and he doesn't mind playing with his own girls for free."

"Get to the point," Xu Yun tapped the table.

"Uh... Yes!" Qiangzi's face turned awkward, and he continued, "Fan Nanjie keeps many thugs in the bathhouse. One, to watch over the girls; two, to prevent customers from trying to get a free ride; three, he's cautious and knows he's offended many people over the years, so he always has people protecting him wherever he goes."

Xu Yun nodded, "So, going to the fourth floor is the key."

Qiangzi scratched his head, "This... The fourth floor is where the high-end girls are. Only VIP members with a card are allowed to go up, and he has two tough brothers as bodyguards."

"Which one of you three has a card?" Xu Yun directly turned his gaze to the Three Tigers of South City, not really caring about the bodyguards.

Kong Zhong and Lü Feng looked at each other and shook their heads. Fan Nanjie, that black-hearted guy, required a deposit of 20,000 yuan to get a VIP card, and the prices for the high-end girls were ridiculously high, especially since Hedong wasn't a big city like Yanjing or Jiangbei, and the Tropical Rainforest wasn't a high-end club like Tian Shang Ren Jian. The charges were absurd.

Dan Hongning, seeing everyone's gaze on him, also had a bitter smile, "I... I don't have one either. I wanted to get one... but it's too expensive."

"You three drive such nice cars and can't even afford a card for a bathhouse? Damn, then you'll have to chip in and get me one," Xu Yun didn't mind squeezing some money out of these three.

Since Xu Yun had spoken, the three of them dared not refuse and all nodded.

When they arrived at the bathhouse, the Three Tigers of South City really paid for Xu Yun's VIP card, and then everyone went in to "take a bath." In reality, they were just wandering around in their bathrobes, and Xu Yun quickly got a general idea of the layout of the entire bathhouse.

The first floor was the main hall and some offices of the Tropical Rainforest Bathhouse. These offices housed the two managers, a dozen thugs, and two madams who organized the girls, also known as "pimps."

The basement was the actual bathing area, decorated with a tropical rainforest theme, featuring elephant heads that sprayed water and a large resin tree in the center of the pool, adding a unique charm.

The second floor was the foot massage and rest area, with over twenty massage rooms. The so-called "small health" services, like Japanese bone relaxation and Thai massage, were all available here.

The third floor was the legendary "big health" area, where everyone had ulterior motives, essentially coming to prostitute. The top floor, the fourth floor, was the VIP area. Without a VIP card, no one was allowed in, so they didn't go up to check.

Xu Yun's goal was clear: to find the hidden door that allowed people to sneak out of the bathhouse. There was a hidden door in the northwest corner of each floor, leading to a hidden staircase that went directly to the west wall of the first floor.

Having found what he was looking for, Xu Yun didn't waste any more time.

"Dan Hongning, you watch the front door. Lü Feng, you guard the back door. Kong Zhong, you know the general location of the hidden door on the west wall. Can you handle that?" Xu Yun smiled slightly, "I'll give you an hour to gather your people and secretly guard outside. Once things get chaotic inside, no one, whether they're customers, girls, thugs, or Fan Nanjie, can leave. Got it?"

The three of them looked at each other, none of them knowing what Xu Yun was planning, but they all nodded.

"Pang Gang, you follow Dan Hongning. Xiao Fei, you follow Kong Zhong. Qiangzi and Lü Feng, you work together," Xu Yun assigned a supervisor to each: "The outside is up to you. If anyone escapes from the door you're guarding, let me know."

This made the Three Tigers of South City sweat profusely. It seemed Xu Yun still didn't fully trust them. But this did hit a nerve, as they themselves weren't sure if they could be that obedient without Xu Yun watching.

"Brother Yun, can you handle it alone?" Qiangzi, though already aware of Xu Yun's capabilities, still asked out of concern.

Xu Yun smiled and pulled Qiangzi aside, whispering, "Do you know why I asked you to watch Lü Feng?"

Qiangzi nodded, "He's the most不服 (uncooperative)."

"Exactly," Xu Yun said, "I'm setting a trap, and your job is to make sure they guard the doors. Even the customers can't be let go."

"Got it!" Qiangzi nodded.

After all, Xu Yun hadn't met Fan Nanjie, and with so many VIP rooms on the fourth floor, he didn't want to risk mistaking him for a customer if things got chaotic. Moreover, the police would need to catch them in the act.

After giving all the instructions, Xu Yun went upstairs to "consume," and the others went to their respective tasks. The Three Tigers of South City started calling people as soon as they left the bathhouse, and Qiangzi also called a few trusted brothers, assigning them to the three teams.

Xu Yun took the elevator straight to the fourth floor of the Tropical Rainforest Bathhouse. The moment he stepped out, it was a world apart from the floors below!

"Hello, sir," a pretty girl with a pure look greeted him at the elevator door, smiling professionally and bowing slightly. Her short skirt revealed a glimpse of her snow-white thighs, and her V-neck shirt was almost see-through, with her chest pushing out provocatively.

Girl, what are you trying to do with such revealing clothes?

Xu Yun showed his VIP card, "First time here, I don't really understand. Can you introduce me?"

"Sir, you're so funny," the pretty girl with a pure look didn't look down on Xu Yun for his casual attire, maintaining her professional smile, "Please come this way, I'll introduce the services to you in detail."

These women didn't care if a man was handsome or not, or if he had a good physique. Their goal was clear: the VIP card in the customer's hand. Even if the cardholder was penniless, the card itself was full of cash. For them, a 30% commission was the most important thing. They would do everything to drain the numbers on the card of anyone who came to this floor.

In the corridor on the fourth floor, except for two neatly dressed male attendants, all the women were provocatively dressed, and they all giggled when they saw Xu Yun. One even said to the pretty girl with a pure look, "18, you're so lucky, getting such a handsome customer. Want to bring a sister for a double play?"

18 looked at Xu Yun, seeing he wasn't interested, and waved to her sister, "If the customer wants, I'll find you."

Soon, Xu Yun was led to a huge luxury room with a giant round bed that could easily accommodate three to five people.

"Handsome, do you want me to serve you?" The pretty 18 closed the door and twisted her slender figure.

Xu Yun whistled in admiration, "Wow, this place is really something. The girls here are different from the street walkers in Bowen Street. They have class, maybe even a college degree: 'Sure, it's you.'"

18 closed the door, "Shall we go through the services one by one?"

"By the way, has Fan Nanjie arrived?" Xu Yun lay on the bed, "Your boss."

18 was taken aback, "You know Boss Fan?"

"I don't," Xu Yun nodded, shaking the VIP card, "He comes every day, right? I want to meet him. I spend so much money here, he should at least give me a cigarette."

18 covered her mouth and laughed, "Sir, you're so funny. Boss Fan isn't that stingy, but he won't be here for another half hour or so."

"Half an hour," Xu Yun looked at the clock on the wall, it was 8:30.

"Handsome, shall we start with a 'Star Wars'?" 18 smiled seductively, lifting her chest, "This is a free service, my gift to you."

Damn! Xu Yun thought, this place is really black, even the chest is charged separately?

Sigh, seeing 18's pure look, it was a waste of her youth to end up here. Who knows whose child she was, and how her family would feel if they found out, they would surely be heartbroken.

Just as the pretty 18 was about to pounce on Xu Yun, he struck her neck with a hand knife. 18's eyes went black, and her large chest pressed heavily on Xu Yun.

Though soft, it was quite heavy. Xu Yun got up, flipped 18 off him, and took a deep breath. Half an hour, it was a tough wait. If he hadn't knocked her out, he might have lost control, and his purity would have been compromised.

After all, Xu Yun wasn't as self-disciplined as Liu Xiaohui. It took a lot of inner struggle to knock out the girl. If it weren't for the sake of his harem, Xu Yun might not have been able to resist the temptation.
