However, she was stopped by one of the scum’s lackeys.
Seeing this, Li Meng pretended to take a few steps back in fear, but she still spoke up. “Be a good boy, Ah Qi, come home with me. Otherwise, you’ll really suffer at night. Come over here quickly.”
Wu Xingye put on a troubled expression and finally decided to walk over to Li Meng. But just as he was about to do so, the scum locked his arm around the boy’s waist and refused to let go.
“Don’t go with that ugly monster. Whatever you want, I can provide. If you follow me, you can have as much of it as you want!” He’d never had such a good-looking boy, and it tempted him just to look at Wu Xingye.
Wu Xingye immediately felt violated by the scum’s stare. His pure soul was greatly traumatized!
But he thought of the ten million and could only continue to endure it!
Finally, half-pushed along, Wu Xingye soon found himself in the VIP room.
All three of them sighed in relief. Being able to get into the room was half the job done. All that was left now was an escape.
Wu Xingye recorded the scene of the scum taking drugs, then tranquilized him, and then successfully left the VIP private room before informing the other two to leave.
According to their plan, they should have been able to make a smooth escape.
However, an accident happened. Li Meng had forgotten, when she went to the washroom, that she was disguised as a man. She had gone into the ladies’ and, on her way out, ran into a woman who was entering the washroom. The woman shrieked in fright, and that attracted the attention of the security officer. The security officer thought that Li Meng was a pervert and detained her, but subsequently found out that she was female.
Prosperous Club was also the most popular club among celebrities in the Imperial Capital, and it often saw patronage from bigshot celebrities. For this reason, there were often reporters and such people milling around, trying to sniff out news. Now that a cross-dresser had made an appearance, they were convinced she was there to stir trouble. Hence, all the security officers in the club were activated.
Although Mu Huan had appeared in time to rescue Li Meng, the various entrances of the club were now sealed off by the security.
If they had to force-fight their way out, it wasn’t a problem for Mu Huan.
But it would put Li Meng and Wu Xingye in danger. Besides, if they fought their way out, it would blow up the matter, and then it would become difficult to resolve.
Hence, Mu Huan created the false impression that they were making an escape and caused chaos. After doing this, she took them to the basement car park.
Her intention was to identify two impressive vehicles in which boots they could hide and, in that way, make their escape from the venue.
Because no matter how tight security was in this place, they wouldn’t dare to search the guests’ car boots.
Mu Huan was about to start prying open the boot of one of the cars…
Suddenly, a man in a low-brim hat and cleaner’s uniform appeared.
Quickly, the three of them dived behind a large vehicle, holding their breaths. They saw the man walking toward one of the impressive cars they had elected, then he slipped himself under the car and did something to the undercarriage. After this, he walked away.
After the man left, Li Meng whispered, “What did the man do?”
“Where he was fiddling, it could be the brakes. It’s possible that he has a beef with the car owner,” Mu Huan whispered back.
“He fiddled with the brakes… Isn’t that dangerous?” Wu Xingye was shocked. It could result in death if the brakes malfunctioned!
Mu Huan’s expression darkened as she said, “The car that I had selected for Xingye earlier on is likely to be a companion to this one. Now that someone has fiddled with this car, we shouldn’t get on the other one, then.”
Mu Huan made a new selection and then pried open the boot of the newly-selected car. Seeing that the boot was clear, she decided that it would be unlikely that the car owner would open it before leaving. She let the two of them into the vehicle.
“Why is it Wu Xingye and me? Didn’t we say earlier that I’d go with you and Xingye would take another car by himself?” Li Meng asked.
