After chatting with Zhang Cheng for a while, Chen MO excused himself to use the restroom but stepped out to make a call to Xu Ye. “Check where Zhang Cheng is staying in the county and who he’s met.”

“Be careful, don’t let his people notice.”

After instructing Xu Ye, Chen MO headed towards the restroom.

Passing a private room, the loud arguments inside caught Chen Mo’s attention.

“That voice… why does it sound so familiar?” Chen MO tried to listen, but the noise was muffled.

The nightclub’s private rooms had opaque doors with good soundproofing. To hear such a commotion from outside suggested chaos within!

Hesitant, Chen MO saw a waiter passing by with drinks.

He pulled the waiter aside, “There’s a lot of noise in there. Go check it out.”

“Well…” The waiter hesitated, “Please, I can’t do that. The people inside are said to be high-ranking military officials. I can’t afford to offend them!”

Chen MO glanced at the waiter’s tray and took it, “Tell your boss I’ll take responsibility for any issues.”

With that, Chen MO, holding the tray, pushed open the private room door.

As soon as he opened the door, a shadow lunged at him. Chen MO dodged, narrowly avoiding being hit by a flying bottle.

Surveying the room, he was taken aback.

He saw a man kneeling in front of a coffee table littered with bottles, surrounded by several men in black casual clothes.

Sitting across on a sofa was a young man with a crew cut.

On seeing Chen MO, the man’s expression shifted slightly but quickly returned to normal.

He pointed at Chen MO, “You! What are you waiting for? Put the drinks down! Today, I want to treat Mr. Zhao here to a good time!”

Hearing his name, the kneeling man collapsed onto the coffee table, “I know I was wrong! Please, I beg you, spare me!”

Chen MO, tray in hand, approached the table and looked down at the man who dared not raise his head.

The crew-cut man fixed his gaze on Chen MO, “Who are you?”

He had just realized that this newcomer was not dressed like a waiter. Chen MO set the tray down and grabbed the man on the table, “Zhao Chang?”

Zhao Chang, suddenly addressed, turned to Chen MO in shock, “Chen… Chen

“What’s going on?” Chen MO asked, looking at Zhao Chang’s bruised face.

Zhao Chang leaned towards Chen MO and whispered, “I had a… disagreement with Mr. Lin here.”

“He had me brought here to ‘talk.”‘

“Talked into this state?” Chen MO gestured at Zhao Chang’s face.

Zhao Chang touched his swollen lip, wincing, “It’s just minor, minor injuries…”

Seeing Zhao Chang’s reluctance to tell the truth, Chen MO scoffed, “Fine! Since you’re not being honest, continue your ‘chat.’ I’ll leave you to it.”

As he turned to leave, Zhao Chang frantically grasped Chen Mo’s arm, his eyes pleading like he was clinging to a lifeline, “Wait! Don’t go yet…

Chen MO glanced at Mr. Lin and said, “How can I help if you won’t tell me what happened?”

Zhao Chang bit his lip and finally spoke, “I had a dispute with one of Mr. Lin’s friends a few days ago, and then…”

“You hit someone?” Chen Mo’s patience was waning, evident in his tone.

“Yes,” Zhao Chang, noting Chen Mo’s irritation, revealed, “I went too far, and the person ended up in the hospital.”

“So they beat you like this?” Chen MO examined Zhao Chang’s colorful face, suspecting there was more to the story.

Zhao Chang leaned in, whispering, “This guy has military connections…

untouchable…”

“Does he know who you are?” Chen MO sought confirmation.

“Yes, he knows…” Zhao Chang’s voice lowered, “But they don’t take the Zhao family seriously..”
