When Shen Zhong saw Zhu Shuangyao, his face changed drastically. "This is exactly what I should ask you! What are you doing here? Who invited you? A man or a woman? Do you know where this place is?"
Zhu Shuangyao was stunned by his barrage of questions and only answered the last one. "I know. It's a club..."
"Since you know it's a club, why did you come!" Shen Zhong's face darkened. "Leave right now."
"Um..." Zhu Shuangyao pointed at the elevator button. "I was just about to leave. I've already finished my business. It was you who suddenly got into the elevator."
"Uh..." Shen Zhong was momentarily at a loss for words.
She seemed to be right.
Actually, there were two elevators in this club. One was exclusively for high - level VIPs, that is, members with black cards. The other was for non - VIPs. Later, as more playboys came here, this non - VIP elevator became the exclusive elevator for red - card holders.
Zhu Shuangyao had no idea about the hidden rules of this club. She just used the card Cheng Lu gave her to randomly swipe open an elevator and was going downstairs.
The two stared at each other. Soon, voices came from outside the elevator. "There's a young actress coming today, the one who's very popular on TV recently. Her last name is Zhang."
"What? I heard she's very high - minded. She's refused us several times!"
"What good does being high - minded do? With a little trickery... we can get her here..."
After saying these words, they exchanged a knowing look and then burst into laughter, filled with endless contempt and pride.
The last speaker smacked his lips. "The Cheng family's club is just not convenient for our business. It's too strictly managed. In my opinion, aren't these places for us to have fun? Why be so strict? We even have to change places."
"It's not without its advantages. Those high - minded young actresses are willing to come here just because it's the Cheng family's club."
"That's true..."
The voices were getting closer. Seeing that they were about to enter the elevator, Shen Zhong swallowed hard and quickly made a choice between being beaten to death by Huo Qizheng and being beaten half to death.
He took off his coat and threw it over Zhu Shuangyao's head, covering her upper body. Then he pulled Zhu Shuangyao into his arms and whispered, "Don't make a sound."
Zhu Shuangyao sensed the seriousness of the situation. She held her breath and stayed in the small space separated by the coat, nervously picking at her fingers.
The playboys got into the elevator. Seeing Shen Zhong holding a girl in his arms, covered with a coat, they couldn't help showing a sly smile. "We really can't compare with you, Young Master Shen. We don't know what you've been doing all these years, but since you came back... you've got so many tricks. Teach us, will you?"
Shen Zhong shrugged indifferently. "Sure. After all, it's more fun to share good things with everyone."
One of the playboys reached out to lift the coat covering Zhu Shuangyao's head. "How about... let us take a look at this wonderful girl you've hidden so tightly?"
A hint of panic flashed in Shen Zhong's eyes, but he still wore a frivolous smile on his face. He reached out to block the playboy's hand. "No way. This is a precious treasure I've found. I haven't even enjoyed her yet. How can I let you guys have a go first?"
The playboy laughed even more lewdly, with a hint of obscenity in his eyes. "You have to remember to let us have a taste later. Those slender and straight legs are definitely a rare beauty."
Naturally, Shen Zhong wasn't willing to suffer. He tightened his hold on Zhu Shuangyao. "You have to exchange something for it. You can't just play with her for free."
He showed a knowing look and rubbed his fingers. "For example, that thing you guys like to use recently..."
The playboys saw this gesture and burst into laughter again. "That's no big deal. When that young actress surnamed Zhang comes, we'll all have fun together. Whatever you want, Young Master Shen, we'll give it to you."
The Cheng family's club was a clean place, so they naturally didn't dare to do anything sneaky there. They planned to drug the young actress after luring her here and then take her to another club to have fun.
This trick had deceived many people.
Inside the coat, Zhu Shuangyao was almost nauseous. Thinking that this scoundrel Shen Zhong was actually in cahoots with them, although she knew that he was probably an undercover agent, she was still extremely angry!
She immediately pressed the bracelet and sent a distress message to Pei Ying. Well, of course, Luo Jiu would probably receive this message too. So it was really uncertain how many people would come.
With a "ding", the elevator soon reached the first floor.
The playboys planned to go out and wait in the car. They asked Shen Zhong, "Are you coming, Young Master Shen?"
Shen Zhong patted Zhu Shuangyao's back. "You guys go and have fun first. I'll come later."
Those people laughed lewdly again. "Sure, sure. You're really impatient, Young Master Shen. See you at our usual place!"
Shen Zhong pulled Zhu Shuangyao to a secluded place, out of the range of the surveillance cameras, and took off the coat on her head. He pointed to a path. "Go this way. Run fast and you can get away."
"What about you?" Zhu Shuangyao instinctively felt that Shen Zhong was doing something extremely dangerous.
Shen Zhong pushed her and whispered in her ear, "We have a plan. Your coming here has disrupted our plan. It took me so long to gain their trust. You go first. Don't let them see you. Understand?"
Zhu Shuangyao also knew that she would probably just be a burden here. So she simply ran in the direction Shen Zhong pointed. But before she had run a few steps, the voice of a playboy came from not far away. "Are you ready, Young Master Shen? Hurry up. We've already got that young actress surnamed Zhang. Don't be too impatient. Remember to leave the girl in your hand for us after you're done."
Shen Zhong's body stiffened slightly. "This girl is quite feisty. She just woke up from the drug and I couldn't catch her."
The playboy laughed obscenely. "Don't worry, Young Master Shen. There are our people everywhere. She can't escape. We'll catch her for you."
Shen Zhong cursed under his breath. Why was it that there were all kinds of people outside the Cheng family's club, and it was even controlled by these playboys!
In this situation, he couldn't let Zhu Shuangyao go. Although Zhu Shuangyao was good at fighting, she was simple - minded and had never seen the obscenities of these people. She might easily fall into their trap.
Shen Zhong deliberately let out a few gasps and shouted, "I didn't expect her to be hiding beside me. This girl is quite smart. Well, since that young actress surnamed Zhang is here too, let's go."
Shen Zhong took Zhu Shuangyao into the car. There was already a beautiful and unconscious girl in the car. Through the gap in the coat, Zhu Shuangyao saw her face and recognized her as the supporting actress in several recent hit dramas.
She became popular because of a dance. With her floating water sleeves, graceful figure, and stunning beauty, she was both beautiful and valiant, with a special charm somewhat similar to Luo Yingying's.
Zhu Shuangyao carefully poked the actress's body while using her own body to cover it. The actress didn't show any reaction at all and was still unconscious.
The car soon arrived at their place. The leading playboy pulled Shen Zhong out of the car. The group of people all got out of the car in a rush, leaving the car empty.
As for Zhu Shuangyao and the young actress, they didn't even bother to care. They were just playthings and not worth caring about.
Under the cover of the coat, Zhu Shuangyao scanned the configuration inside the car with her bracelet. There were no bugs or monitors in the car. It seemed that these people were very confident in their drugs.
She immediately pushed the young actress surnamed Zhang with her hand and found that she still didn't respond. So she operated the bracelet, and a silver needle as thin as a hair popped out. She took a little blood from the actress and analyzed the components in her body.
The result from the bracelet came out quickly. Although Zhu Shuangyao didn't understand most of the molecular formulas, according to the conclusion given by the bracelet, it was a new type of sleeping drug.
Although Zhu Shuangyao didn't understand the molecular formulas, she remembered that she had seen these formulas before, but she couldn't remember where.
After Shen Zhong got out of the car, he went through multiple security checks and verbal tests. The playboys were very mysterious and took more than ten minutes to take him into a room.
"Hey, isn't this the eldest young master of the Shen family? Why? You're not an elite anymore? You've come to hang out with us playboys?" After going through multiple checkpoints, Shen Zhong saw a familiar face.
This was also a playboy, surnamed Gao. He was always looked down upon in the circle because the things he played with were really obscene and had no bottom line. He was different from other playboys. The others never got involved in illegal things. They just liked to eat, drink, have fun, and show off their wealth.
Gao Fei was very happy to see Shen Zhong. He was proud. He never thought that a person who looked so decent on the outside was actually just like them!
Moreover, the former heir who once managed the Shen Group actually had to grovel at his feet just to get a tube of drugs. Just thinking about this made Gao Fei want to burst out laughing.
Gao Fei said proudly, "Young Master Shen, if you want to get good stuff, that's okay. It depends on what you're willing to exchange for it."
Shen Zhong shrugged indifferently. "I don't have anything good to exchange. I'm no longer the heir of the Shen Group. I only have a few houses and some land, which is nothing compared to the huge family business of the Shen Group."
Gao Fei didn't mind. Everyone who came to him was a playboy. None of them were the legitimate heirs of their families. They just brought whatever they could. It was just a matter of the value of the things.
Shen Zhong was very straightforward. He had prepared these things long ago. He directly took out the contract and put it on the table. "Sign it. I want the potion."
Gao Fei picked up the contract and handed it to an ordinary - looking man beside him. The man took the contract and examined it carefully. After reading it word by word, the man nodded to Gao Fei and made a "two" gesture.
Gao Fei took back the contract, signed his name, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, you're still generous, Young Master Shen. You're actually willing to exchange a piece of land for it."
