Because in places like nightclubs, brawls are common; it’s impossible to manage without surveillance.
But the staff responsible for the surveillance room have all signed confidentiality agreements after having worked at the Emperor Palace for many years, so anything inappropriate that happens inside the private rooms cannot be leaked.
The person in charge pulled up the surveillance footage of Chun Ci and the man entering the private room on the big screen, ordered everyone else to leave, and only the two of them, Gu Lili and Long Yubei, remained, wearing headphones.
Inside there was a commotion, with both men and women present.
When Chun Ci arrived, everyone stood up to greet her and called her "big sister."
Chun Ci switched on the lights, and only then did Gu Lili see two handsome young men kneeling by the coffee table.
The two young men were pale as paper, with clear slap marks on their faces, their hands tied behind their backs, shivering like sieves, looking over here with fear.
"Big sister, we caught these two at the dance floor tonight. Did we do good? Knowing you were coming, we specifically picked them for you," a man with a pointy face and monkey cheeks said with a smug laugh.
Chun Ci laughed out loud, "What did you do to scare them ?"
"Nothing much, just that they were quite arrogant, so we taught them a lesson."
Chun Ci squatted down, casually grabbed the chin of one of the young men, and looked him over, "Quite handsome, little boy. How old are you?"
"You must taste delicious."
Chun Ci leaned closer and took a sniff with her eyes closed; in just a few seconds, the young man had turned into a dried husk without even a whimper, dead in front of her, and before the other could react, he met the same fate.
In such a desiccated state, Gu Lili had once witnessed the Huiling Sword absorb human blood on Xiliang Mountain; seeing this for the first time in person, the withering of life right before her eyes was still shocking.
Long Yubei removed his headphones, "Wait here for me, don’t leave. I’ll be back very soon."
"Where are you going?" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
"Do some good deed. Don’t move, just wait for me ten minutes." After saying that he closed his eyes, and Gu Lili caught his body as he was about to collapse, watching his true body leave.
He told her directly that he was targeting that group of people.
They were not visible on the surveillance.
She continued to watch the private room where Chun Ci was.
About four to five minutes later, the door to the private room opened, and a female employee selling alcohol arranged two cases of drinks on the table.
When Long Yubei came back, indeed in less than ten minutes, he asked, "Did you see the person who went in to deliver the drinks?"
Long Yubei grinned, snorted coldly, "Those two cases of drinks were my gift to them. Even though you wouldn’t have come back if those men didn’t kill you, I’m still very angry. My woman is not for others to kill. What does Rong Fei think he is? I’m keeping this in mind, and sooner or later, I’ll settle the score with him."
"What did you put in those drinks?" asked Gu Lili. "Red spider lily?"
"No, if it were red spider lilies, wouldn’t that directly indicate it was done by someone from the underworld?"
But he teased, "You’ll know soon enough."
Gu Lili however, started to worry about the drink-selling girl, "The girl who sold the drinks, could she get implicated? Would those people seek revenge on her?"
"She’s one of them; all cut from the same cloth. It is apparent that she was arranged to be here for the convenience of those people to play and feel at ease."
