The night was deep, already enveloping the entire East Sea City. Tonight there were stars but no moon, the scattered starlight hanging high in the night sky seemed to be swallowed by the darkness!
Under the cover of night, a piercing light slightly sliced through the black curtain, revealing two black Mercedes cars, one in front of the other, slowly making their way through the dim groves, and driving into the back gate of a golf course.
Passing through the tree-lined paths of the course, the two Mercedes cars drove deeper into the course, and ten minutes later stopped in front of a three-story pavilion structure.
This pavilion-shaped building was the entertainment and leisure center of the golf course, specifically provided for the recreation of the course’s guests!
After the two Mercedes cars stopped, the door of the front car opened first, and a man in a Tang suit with sunken eyes and a ponytail stepped out.
However, this man did not step out voluntarily, but was forcefully pushed out by two men sitting inside the car!
Then, the two burly men in black suits also got out of the car and each grabbed one of the Tang-suited man’s arms, firmly restricting his movements.
"Let’s go! Boss Xie, you need to explain yourself to the Young Master."
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a hawk nose got out from the passenger seat, glanced indifferently at the tightly restrained man in the Tang suit, and coldly spat out a sentence before walking towards the pavilion without any expression.
Behind him, the two black-clad men, who looked like bodyguards, immediately escorted the ponytailed man in the Tang suit, closely following him.
The rear door of the second Mercedes car opened!
Five black-clad men stepped out from within, silently tailing behind and preventing the Tang-suited man from escaping.
The hawk-nosed man walking in front did not enter through the main entrance of the pavilion, but instead, through a side door, entered the leisure center.
Afterwards, the black-clad bodyguards escorting the Tang-suited man also followed through the side door, while two of the five men in black stayed to guard the entrance, and the other three went in with them.
Following a long, dim corridor, the group walked a distance and arrived at the second basement level of the leisure center, entering a luxuriously decorated private room.
At this moment, there were already seven or eight people inside the private room! Among them, aside from one person sitting steadily on the central luxurious sofa, the others stood around the private room, clearly playing the role of bodyguards.
The young man sitting on the sofa appeared to be about thirty years old, with a slicked-back hairstyle known as a Mexican style. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, occasionally flashing with a sharp gleam, giving the impression that this person was clearly adept at scheming, seemingly not easy to deal with!
He wore a black shirt printed with a gold leopard head, with two buttons at the chest undone, revealing the streamlined muscular physique underneath!
His lower body wore shorts with a print pattern, making him exude an aura of carefree wildness yet no lack of charisma, truly eye-catching.
This person was the hidden owner of the golf course, named Qi Baiyu.
As he looked at the Tang-suited man being escorted in, the eyes of Qi Baiyu sitting on the sofa suddenly shot out two chilling beams.
Like a venomous snake discovering its prey, he suddenly jumped up from the sofa.
A figure flashed swiftly, like lightning coursing through the private room.
Qi Baiyu had already darted to the front of the Tang-suited man, kicking him in the abdomen!
Immediately, the man’s face contorted in pain, curling up violently, clutching his stomach and squatting on the ground.
"Xie Wending, despite my great trust in you, handing over such a large drug trafficking operation for you to manage, you ruined it! Even got our base raided completely, you damn idiot!"
Qi Baiyu’s face was hideous, grim to the extreme, cursing at the Tang-suited man.
"I’m... I’m sorry, Young Master Qi! I failed to handle the matter well, delaying your great plans..."
The Tang-suited man, Xie Wending, his body trembling, endured the pain in his abdomen, gritting his teeth, repeatedly apologizing to Qi Baiyu.
"Exactly! You’re a damn fool, saying sorry now is pointless! My Jade Hall has been shut down, can it still be saved?"
Qi Baiyu, furious in his heart, pointed at Xie Wending, scolding harshly: "You are beyond redemption! How can you afford the loss of millions worth of goods being seized! Do you know how severe the consequences of this are?"
"Now, not only is my Jade Hall destroyed, but this incident also might make the police keep an eye on me. If they investigate me, I’m finished! You stupid pig, you caused this, damn it, I’m going to beat you to death..."
Qi Baiyu became more enraged as he spoke, repeatedly roaring.
Finally, in a fit of unbearable anger, he directly started punching and kicking Xie Wending!
"Young Master Qi, please stop hitting me..."
"Young Master Qi! It’s not my fault..."
"Spare me, Young Master Qi!"
Qi Baiyu, filled with hatred, ignored Xie Wending’s pleas, cursing and fiercely beating him:
"Fuck you! Still saying it’s not your fault, are you blaming it on me? Where’s your face? Damn it! Watch me not beat you to death!"
After a round of brutal beating, Qi Baiyu wiped the sweat off his face and stopped.
With eyes flashing coldly, Qi Baiyu took a deep breath and fiercely questioned the now-helpless Xie Wending on the ground: "Explain to me clearly, what exactly happened here? How did a good base suddenly get targeted by the police? If you can’t explain, I’ll break your limbs and feed you to the dogs!"
Xie Wending trembled all over, his face swollen from the beating, but he couldn’t care less, quickly crawling to Qi Baiyu’s feet, crying out in anguish: "Young Master Qi! It’s truly not my fault, I was deceived. The person responsible is Ye Xuan, he’s the one behind all of this..."
Then, he recounted the events honestly: "Just a few days ago, he disguised himself as a wealthy young master from East Sea City, coming to Jade Hall to trade goods with me, and his initial offer was five million! I initially had doubts, so I didn’t agree immediately. But he not only got a VIP membership card for Jade Hall, but also produced a limited-edition card from Huasheng Bank. Moreover, seeing beautiful women and bodyguards accompanying him, with those bodyguards being very capable, and most importantly, he even knew people from the Ye Family of Jianghai Province! I had no more doubts and agreed to the deal!"
"But little did I know, he was a complete fraud, and on the day of the deal, our people were ambushed by the police, who captured the one-eyed ones at the police station, and the five million of goods were seized by the police! That’s how Jade Hall came to be targeted by them."
After finishing, Xie Wending cried: "Young Master Qi, it’s all that damned Ye Xuan’s fault! I was deceived by him too, please forgive me! I really didn’t mean for this to happen..."
