"Everyone, don't move, put your hands on your heads..."

The SWAT team members rushed into the room, shouting and pressing these guys to the ground to handcuff them. Some even took out bags to collect evidence, gathering all the little pills one by one.

At this moment, An Jianing also entered the room, and her face lit up when she saw the situation.

"Caught some fish?"

"Yep, inform the captain, we caught a few small fish."

An Jianing smiled and picked up the walkie-talkie, communicating with the captain who led the team upstairs.

"Good job, collect the evidence, we'll talk later."

Wei Zhengming was leading the team upstairs, so he ended the call after a brief exchange.

Li Xiangdong stood beside An Jianing, and he heard every word Wei Zhengming said over the walkie-talkie. After the call ended, Li Xiangdong didn't linger in the room but went directly outside.

Next to this large private room was a suite, and from the door, it was clear that this suite was even more luxurious than the one they had just broken into.

They hadn't entered this room yet, so they didn't know if anyone was inside. Li Xiangdong decided to check it out, hoping for some unexpected gains.

Just as he reached the door, before he could break it down, the door suddenly opened, and a man walked out. It was Huang Haifa, the owner of the Hundred Pleasures Nightclub.

Huang Haifa wasn't particularly surprised to see the police standing at the door, as at least ten minutes had passed since they stormed in.

Even if the room had excellent soundproofing, he must have received a call from his subordinates.

At this moment, Huang Haifa's expression wasn't surprised, but it was quite grim.

"Officers, what are you doing here?"

Huang Haifa stood at the door of the VIP room, his face cold as he asked. As the top figure, he didn't lose his composure in front of the armed police.

"Ha ha, what do you think? It's a police inspection. Turn on the lights and show us your IDs."

Li Xiangdong sneered and shouted. Without giving Huang Haifa a chance to act cool, he pushed him aside and walked into the room, turning on the wall switch. The once dim suite instantly became as bright as snow.

Li Xiangdong's lack of respect made Huang Haifa's face even darker. This kid really had no manners.

The suite was quite large, with a two-bedroom, one-living room layout, covering over 100 square meters. The two bedrooms were a bedroom and a study, while the living room was a multifunctional entertainment hall, suitable for dining, drinking, mahjong, singing, dancing, and parties. This place was truly unaffordable for anyone but the wealthy.

At this moment, there were a few other people in the room. Four tall, muscular men in black, clearly bodyguards. Two others, a man and two women, were sitting on the main sofa in the living room, holding wine glasses and looking at Li Xiangdong, the intruder, with rather peculiar expressions.

The moment Li Xiangdong saw these people, his heart sank. Although he didn't recognize them, he could smell a familiar scent, the same as the eagle beast he had encountered and ultimately killed.

The man was tall and muscular, and even sitting on the sofa, his massive build was evident. His muscles seemed to strain against his suit, and his long, ox-like face, with round, bulging eyes and large nostrils, was almost missing horns.

The two women were both alluring in their own ways. One had a slender, elegant figure and exuded a cold, aloof aura, while the other was curvaceous and seductive, a classic fox spirit.

The two women sat beside the ox-faced man, and the three of them looked at Li Xiangdong with varying expressions.

"What are you looking at? Stand up and show me your IDs. It's a police inspection."

Although he sensed that these three were not ordinary, Li Xiangdong didn't say it outright but followed procedure.

Huang Haifa suddenly darted out from behind him: "Officer Li, right? We had some misunderstandings before. If you're still angry, I apologize. But even if you have a grudge against my family, you don't have to treat my distinguished guests this way, do you?"

Huang Haifa's expression was quite flustered. He had been calm before, but now he seemed to have lost his composure, partly because Li Xiangdong was acting unpredictably and partly because he was genuinely afraid of angering the three people sitting there.

Li Xiangdong shot him a cold glance and sneered. Even you have your moments of fear. What did you and your brother do back then? You know what's too much now?

"Sorry, they are your distinguished guests, not mine. Hey, guys, are you still sitting there? Didn't you hear what I said? Stand up, let me see your hands, and your IDs."

Li Xiangdong ignored Huang Haifa and turned to shout at the three people on the sofa. The moment he spoke, Huang Haifa's face changed.

It wasn't because of Li Xiangdong's words but out of fear, the fear of not being attentive enough and angering the guests.

The three strange people sat on the sofa, and after Li Xiangdong called out again, they slowly stood up.

The man in the middle, who had looked like a small mountain while sitting, was even more intimidating when standing, over two meters tall. His presence alone could make one feel dizzy.

The cold, elegant woman took out a few IDs from her handbag and handed them to Li Xiangdong. He took them and looked.

Niu Chong, She Bing, Hu Meili—these were the names on the IDs. After checking the photos and other information, he found no discrepancies and returned the IDs to them.

Throughout this, Huang Haifa remained cautious, staying by their side. When he saw Li Xiangdong return the IDs and the three didn't get angry, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Huang, your nightclub has a lot of illegal activities. This might be a bit troublesome, you know!"

Li Xiangdong turned to look at Huang Haifa and smiled, but Huang Haifa also smiled and shook his head.

"Officer Li, you're mistaken. This nightclub isn't mine; I'm just one of the shareholders. I have no idea how it's run."
