<h4>Chapter 912: Chapter 917: Infiltrating the Club (Part 2)</h4>


    "Mr. Qi is in the private room over there, would you like me to take you to him?" the waitress asked politely.


    "No need, I’ll go by myself."


    With those words, Ling Chen picked up a ss of champagne from the waitress’s tray and walked straight to the private room door. After knocking and getting a response from the owner inside, Ling Chen pushed the door open and entered.


    Upon entering the private room, Ling Chen immediately saw Qi Houzhao.


    He was holding a wine ss, with a scantily d blonde woman in his arms, his hand resting on her ample chest. Instead of resisting Qi Houzhao’s advances, the blonde woman pressed her body against him, gently rubbing against his sensitive areas.


    Beside the coffee table, two other bikini-d women held bottles of wine and fruit, asionally pouring wine for Qi Houzhao and feeding him fruit. The three women were each charming in their own ways, hailing from different countries.


    Seeing this scene, Ling Chen couldn’t help but smile. This guy sure knows how to enjoy himself.


    At this moment, Qi Houzhao noticed Ling Chen entering, his expression changed immediately. He quickly pushed the women aside and stood up from the sofa.


    "It’s you!" Qi Houzhao red at Ling Chen coldly, and said in a deep voice, "How did you get in here?"


    "I have my ways." Ling Chen smiled slightly, walked over to the sofa and sat down, "Mr. Qi, I hope to talk to you alone, so... could you please ask thesedies to leave?" After speaking, Ling Chen didn’t forget to remind him: "Mr. Qi, you should be aware of my skills, you’d better not try anything, otherwise, don’t me me for being rude."


    Hearing these words, Qi Houzhao frowned, his face looking somewhat unpleasant. After some deep thought, his eyes gradually calmed down as he sat back on the sofa and gestured to the three women. Soon, the three women obediently left the private room.


    After they left, Ling Chen put down the champagne, looked at Qi Houzhao, and said, "I’m a reasonable person. If we had a grudge, I could understand you wanting revenge. But the problem is, I’ve never met you, so why are you against me? Also, what’s your rtionship with Yang Yan and his wife? Do you know where they are? If you can clear up these doubts for me, I promise not to hurt a hair on your head. Mr. Qi, what do you say?"


    Qi Houzhao looked at Ling Chen with a changing expression for quite a while before nodding, "What do you want to know?"


    "Didn’t I just say?"


    "I have no grudge against you, and I don’t know the Yang Yan you mentioned." Qi Houzhao said, "I sent people after you because someone hired me to."


    "Who?"


    "A woman. She goes by Carey, but I don’t know what her Chinese name was."


    "Chinese?" Ling Chen’s heart stirred, and he asked, "Are you implying that woman’s from Huaxia? Could she be the woman who had dinner with you at the Chinese restaurant the other night?"


    "Yes, it’s her. She saw your missing person notice and begged me to help, asking me to quietly take care of you both."


    "What’s her identity?"


    "She’s a Chief Financial Officer at a foreignpany, in her forties. Mypany partnered with hers, and I’ve met her a few times. You saw her; she’s a stunner, any man would be attracted to her. To be honest, I’m pursuing her now, and if she has requests, I naturally want to fulfill them."


    So that’s how it is!


    Ling Chen thought Qi Houzhao was the mastermind, but it turned out to be that woman. Carey... he’d never heard of this name before, and he didn’t know what grudges existed between them. Why would she target him?


    After pondering, Ling Chen looked at Qi Houzhao and asked, "Is there anything else besides this?"


    "What else do you want to know?"


    "Her address, and where she works." Pausing for a moment, Ling Chen continued, "One more thing I must remind you of: after I leave here, I hope you won’t contact that woman named Carey. Remember, this is both a reminder and a warning. Otherwise, you know my abilities, and don’t me me for being rude then."


    "No problem." Without hesitation, Qi Houzhao immediately reported her address.


    "Thank you! If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way, Mr. Qi, I hope you won’t bother me again in the future."


    "Don’t worry, I’m not someone who likes looking for trouble on purpose."


    "That would be best." With that, Ling Chen got up and left the private room.


    Watching the door close, Qi Houzhao slowly exhaled a breath, downed a ss of spirits from the coffee table, took a couple of deep breaths, then pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.


    Walking through the safe passageway, Ling Chen headed down the stairs. But just as he reached the main hall, without having time to walk out the door, he saw more than a dozen security personnel rushing out from all directions, all aiming their pistols at him.


    "Don’t move, get down!"


    Facing a dozen ck gun barrels, Ling Chen’s eyebrow raised as his sharp gaze swept over the security personnel.


    "Ling, aren’t you supposed to be very skilled? I want to see if your fists are faster, or the bullets are."


    Upon hearing the voice, Ling Chen turned his head to see Qi Houzhao emerging from the elevator, apanied by several of his men.


    "Mr. Qi, as I recall, we just agreed that you wouldn’t cause me any trouble. Are you breaking your word?" Ling Chen said calmly, showing no trace of fear in his voice.


    Qi Houzhao took a puff of his cigar andughed coldly, "I think you’re mistaken; it’s not me causing trouble for you now, but you bringing trouble on yourself. Ling, what do you think this ce is? This is a private club; you think you cane and go as you please? I just informed the owner of this private club that someone trespassed. It’s only my duty as a guest. As for how the owner handles it, that has nothing to do with me, so don’t me this on me. Alright, I’ve said what I needed to say, now you stay here and entertain them, I won’t be joining."


    With that, Qi Houzhao started walking toward the exit of the main building.


    "Ling Chen, do you copy?"


    At this moment, Ji Beizhao’s voice came through Ling Chen’s earpiece.


    "I’m here," Ling Chen responded, pressing the earpiece.


    "Don’t move!"


    Seeing Ling Chen’s action, the surrounding security personnel immediately shouted sternly.


    Ling Chenpletely ignored their orders and continued speaking into the earpiece, "I’ve run into a little trouble."


    "I know, I see it all."


    Hearing this, Ling Chen felt a sense of relief, ncing at a surveince camera in the corner.


    "Wait, in three seconds I’ll handle it," Ji Beizhao’s words came through, and Ling Chen nodded toward the camera, waiting quietly.<fnb08d> Checktest chapters at find{n}ovel</fnb08d>
