Chapter 391: Chapter 391

Lin Chuchu froze for a moment. "A counterfeit?"

Tian Wei curled her lips. "That watch on his wrist, no matter how accurate the imitation, I can spot it’s fake at a glance. Low-grade stuff is everywhere in nightclubs. You need to keep your eyes open and see clearly, or you’ll end up cheated out of your money and dignity."

Lin Chuchu bit her lip and lowered her gaze. "Oh."

Just then, Tian Wei received a phone call. She said nothing but "okay" before hanging up.

"I’ve got a great catch here. Since you’re my girl, I’ll let you have it tonight. Trust me, you’ll definitely come out ahead."

With that, she grabbed Lin Chuchu’s arm and pushed through the crowd, heading for the second floor.

The second floor was lined with private rooms. The hallway was illuminated by flashing, multicolored lights, dizzying and surreal, creating a disorienting sense of not knowing where one was.

The scenes she encountered on the way were enough to overturn all the perceptions Lin Chuchu had held in the first half of her life.

This was a world she had never set foot in, a world of spinning strobe lights, shadows, and fleeting chaos.

Even though she hadn’t touched that drink, she felt as though she was drunk.

Tian Wei pulled her to the door at the very end. Standing before it, Tian Wei smiled and asked, "Chuchu, do you know who’s inside?" This content belongs to novel{f}ire.net

Lin Chuchu’s gaze was blank and dazed.

Tian Wei leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

Lin Chuchu’s eyes widened in horror. "Liu... Liu..."

Tian Wei quickly raised her hand and covered her mouth, glancing around warily. "Last time, Zhang Shasha sent people to corner me. If you hadn’t called the police in time, I might’ve been beaten to death by that bitch. Come to think of it, you’re practically my lifesaver. This opportunity to soar above the branches—I’m giving it to you as repayment. You better make the most of it."

Lin Chuchu was utterly dumbfounded, as though she were dreaming.

"The person inside really is...?"

"Of course! Would I lie to you? This young master may seem upright, but deep down, he’s rebellious as hell. Otherwise, how would I catch him in this position? Chuchu, let me tell you, given your background, even if you study until you’re blue in the face, you’ll never cross the mountain of class. You’re destined to be a corporate peon your whole life. But if you latch onto him, it’ll all change. Do you know how many people in Qingzhou would kill for a connection to him?"

Whether it was Tian Wei’s enticing tone or the overly suggestive atmosphere, Lin Chuchu’s heart raced wildly, as though it might burst from her chest.

Tian Wei pushed open the door. Inside, a solitary lamp illuminated the space, but the dim glow only heightened the oppressive darkness, saturating the room with a seductive undertone—it felt like a silent invitation.

"He’s had a few drinks, so he’s a bit tipsy. He might not take the initiative, so you’ll have to guide him. That way, things will be easier to negotiate afterward..."

The door slammed shut with a "bang." The cheerful smile on Tian Wei’s face vanished instantly, replaced by a grim scowl darker than a pot’s bottom.

Liu Runxi. It was Liu Runxi.

That wretch Lin Chuchu had lucked out. The jealousy burned so fiercely inside Tian Wei, it felt like her organs were tearing themselves apart.

She wished more than anything that she could take Lin Chuchu’s place.

But when she thought about Lin Chuchu’s potential downfall, Tian Wei felt thankful it wasn’t her.

As enticing as a man might be, safety was far more important.

"Brother Ma." Tian Wei’s expression quickly shifted to a beaming smile upon seeing the man approaching her.

"As per your instructions, everything has been arranged."

The man gave a satisfied nod. "And her family’s situation? Have you investigated everything thoroughly? We can’t let them interfere with our plans later."

"Rest assured, Brother Ma. Everything is under control."

The man patted her shoulder approvingly. "Xiao Wei, you’ve really outdone yourself. I’ll make sure to introduce you to President Gao soon."

Tian Wei’s eyes lit up with excitement. "Thank you, Brother Ma."

Just then, the fire alarm on the second floor suddenly blared. Smoke began to seep in from somewhere, triggering the overhead smoke detectors and activating the sprinkler system, drenching both Tian Wei and Ma Liu.

Ma Liu was hopping mad. "What the hell is going on?"

From the other private rooms, half-dressed men and women scrambled out into the hallway, turning it into a chaotic, noisy scene.

Tian Wei covered her nose and mouth. "Brother Ma, let’s get out of here quickly."

Ma Liu cursed. "Who the hell is messing with us? Find out who’s behind this, or I’ll kill them."

Two bodyguards protected him on either side. "Brother Ma, the smoke is getting worse. If a fire breaks out, there’s no evacuation route. We need to leave immediately."

Upon hearing this, Ma Liu’s face tightened with urgency. He pointed at two men. "You two stay here and wait for further instructions."

With that, he covered his nose and mouth and hurriedly left.

Tian Wei glanced anxiously at the tightly closed door to the private room, clenched her teeth, and followed quickly after Ma Liu.
