Chapter 583: Hearing the Siren from Outside
“Hello, is this the fire department? Hi, this is Dark Night. There’s a fire over here; can you come quickly?” Her tone was urgent, as if she were a staff member at the bar.
Calling 110 was not realistic.
To run such a large entertainment venue in Capital City and thrive shows that the boss behind the scenes must be extraordinary; otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to keep a hold of a place with influence over both the lawful and the underworld.
Even if she reported to the police that a kidnapped child had been found here, the cops probably wouldn’t dare come.
To quietly get the person out, she had to first find a way to disperse the staff…
Rong Yan made the call to the fire department and told them that the fire inside the bar was very serious and urged them to send vehicles immediately.
After dealing with that, she returned to the bar, found a corner near Rong Mu, ordered another cocktail, and waited for her chance.
Luckily, the bar was crowded. Among the bustling crowd, Rong Yan’s actions were not conspicuous, just like an ordinary woman who had gone to the bar to drown her sorrows after a breakup.
One, two, three… As Rong Yan waited, she counted the men who might be kidnappers around Rong Mu—there were about three guys.
Besides them, she didn’t spot any other suspicious characters.
Rong Yan frowned and calculated that she could handle them in the chaos!
The fire alarm call she had made earlier was very effective; soon after, sirens blared outside.
The sound of the sirens was so loud that it reached the people inside the bar, and many began to grow restless—
“What’s going on, why are there cops outside, what happened?”
“Eh, that sounds like the police, why the fuck are the cops coming here?”
“Damn, what’s the situation?”
The men and women on the dance floor stirred, and the three men who had been drinking sullenly in a corner, occasionally whispering to each other, also pricked their ears and stood up.
The man with the rough voice that she had heard in the bathroom said first, “What’s going on, why are there police?”
“I, I don’t know, man.” Another person, scared out of his wits and pale-faced, said blankly.
The man with the stubbly beard crushed the cigarette in his hand, took a fierce gulp of his drink with a stern face, and swore, “Fuck! If Rong Nanfeng dared to call the cops, I’ll kill the little bastard~!”
The man with the rough voice stopped him from touching the boy who was still unaware of the danger, playing a cup-stacking game. He said calmly, “Don’t make a fuss!”
“The old man has already called the cops, are we just gonna sit here and get caught?” The man with the stubbly beard was obviously much more temperamental.
But the man with the rough voice was not afraid of him. He stood in front of him, glanced at the boy playing happily, and said, “We don’t even know if the cops are really outside. I think it’s unlikely that the police are here. Don’t forget, we’re in Dark Night! A place like Dark Night, the cops can’t possibly come!”
The influence behind Dark Night had settled things with both the underworld and the legal side; otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many years without an incident.
They had taken the child there in the first place because they figured the cops couldn’t possibly come inside to look for someone.
The man with the stubbly beard was not reassured, “The Rong Family still knows a few people in Capital City; if Rong Nanfeng really decides to throw money into greasing palms, he might be able to get the cops to come in here looking for someone.”
What he said was indeed a problem… The man squinted his eyes, his face showing uncertainty. After thinking for a moment, he said to the others, “You two go out and see what’s happening. Check if it’s the cops and most importantly, if they’re coming for us!”
