Eleven o'clock at night, at a port in District 1.
For a city that never sleeps, the whole city is still very active even at this time.
The port was bustling with people, and cruise ships were constantly coming in and out, accompanied by the sound of whistles.
Lu Zhen changed into casual clothes and stood in front of the dock with Xiaohan, smoking while waiting for the boat.
Xiaohan looked at his cousin's profile, hesitated for a long time, and asked: "Brother, I have something to tell you..."
Lu Zhen glanced at him and said, "Go ahead."
Xiao Han scratched his head: "Well... the Qingyi Bureau needs to report a list of young cadres for promotion. As you know, I just joined the bureau not long ago..."
Hearing this, Lu Zhen's face showed no expression, and he said calmly: "You have been promoted very quickly in the Qingyi Bureau. You are my younger brother. If you are always there, it will easily cause gossip, and it will be difficult for Lao Kang to deal with it."
Xiaohan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes seemed to struggle, but he soon gave up, smiled and said: "Okay, then I get it, I'll listen to you."
Lu Zhen nodded slightly, and the two brothers fell silent again.
Xiaohan lowered his head and smoked his cigarette non-stop.
Lu Zhen couldn't help laughing, and reached out to pat his head: "Quite disappointed, right? Are you cursing me in your heart?"
Xiaohan quickly shook his head: "How can that be possible! Brother, without you, there would be no me. I will just follow your instructions. Besides, I am still young, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Lu Zhen pointed at his mouth and said, "You are just sweet-talking. Don't worry, I told Lao Kang when we had dinner yesterday that your name will be included in the first batch."
Hearing this, Xiaohan scratched his head again and couldn't help grinning: "Hey, thank you brother!"
Lu Zhen patted his shoulder and stopped talking.
“Woo—”
The whistle sounded, and they both turned around at the same time and saw a cruise ship approaching the shore. Soon, the anchor fell into the water with a splash, and the pedestrian walkway was also lowered.
Tourists squeezed down the passage, carrying large and small bags, and walked in a hurry. After a while, a 26- or 27-year-old man, about 1.9 meters tall and with a burly build, walked through the crowd and walked over.
He didn't have much luggage, just a simple suitcase, and had a clean-shaven head. Apart from his figure, everything about him looked ordinary.
"Yuan Biao!"
Lu Zhen smiled and greeted him, holding the man's hand, and said enthusiastically: "It's been a long time since I last saw you! Let me introduce you, this is my brother Xiaohan. Xiaohan, this is Yuan Biao, an old friend of mine."
Xiaohan looked at Yuan Biao's square face and shook hands with him: "Hello."
"Hello."
Yuan Biao had a blank expression on his face, spoke concisely and forcefully, and his hands were strong.
After exchanging greetings, the two brothers took him to a commercial vehicle parked outside the dock and drove into the city.
During the whole journey, Yuan Biao was very silent and seemed not to like talking. Xiao Han did not bother him, but just looked at him curiously.
…
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a high-end private club. The parking lot was full of expensive luxury cars. In comparison, their business car seemed much more low-key.
Lu Zhen was familiar with the route and led them into the private club. The security inside was very good, with security guards patrolling every few steps. People without membership cards could not enter at all.
The three of them entered the club hall and saw many celebrities, many of whose faces often appeared on online TV.
Led by a staff member, they walked through the lobby and took the elevator directly to the seventh floor.
"You still remember to come?"
As the elevator door opened, a delicate voice came from outside.
Everyone looked up and saw a young and beautiful woman in a sexy uniform standing outside the elevator.
She has fair skin, a slim waist, a pair of slender legs wrapped in black stockings, full of temptation, and a pleasant smell.
For a moment, the three men's eyes were all drawn to her.
The woman looked at Lu Zhen and said with a hint of anger: "I thought you had forgotten about me."
Lu Zhen smiled, walked over, put his arm around her slender waist, and whispered in her ear: "I've been a little busy recently. I went to Longcheng some time ago. So I came to see you as soon as I had time."
As he spoke, his hand slid down.
"Hateful..." The woman reached out and slapped away Lu Zhen's mischievous hand.
Lu Zhen smiled and turned to introduce him: "This is Yuan Biao, my friend."
"Hello." The woman stretched out her soft and boneless little hand: "Brother Yuan, this is your first time, you can just call me Xiaoyan."
Yuan Biao nodded and shook her hand.
"Then come with me, your room is ready."
Xiaoyan led Yuan Biao inside, and the Lu brothers followed behind.
At the back, Lu Han lowered his voice, pointed at Yuan Biao's sturdy back, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you going to do that?"
Lu Zhen smiled and said, "Haha, what's the matter?"
Lu Han wiped his neck and said, "It's about the incident in Longcheng where the dragon head was killed..."
Lu Zhen extended his index finger and made a gesture of silence: "Shh..."
Xiaohan nodded slightly, and the two stopped talking.
A few minutes later, Yuan Biao was led into a room upstairs, and Xiao Yan handed the room card to him. After putting down their luggage, everyone went downstairs again and had dinner in a private room on the second floor.
The private room is completely Western in style, with an iron plate on the table and a special chef cooking delicious food for them on the spot.
Lu Zhen sat at the table, hugged Xiao Yan, and said to Yuan Biao who was sitting opposite him with a smile: "Now that you are here, don't think too much and relax. If you have any problems, just call Xiao Yan and let her do it for you."
Yuan Biao asked directly: "When will we do it?"
Lu Zhen waved his hand: "Don't ask, it's not certain whether it will be done or not. Just be down-to-earth and live here first, and I will pay for all the expenses."
Yuan Biao nodded, said no more, lowered his head and ate the fried meat on the plate in big mouthfuls.
During the meal, Xiao Yan accompanied Lu Zhen the whole time. The two of them whispered to each other and occasionally touched each other's thighs under the table, which was very ambiguous.
An hour later, the meal was over and the table was cleaned up. Xiao Yan stood up gently, leaned close to Lu Zhen's ear, and said in a sweet voice: "I'll call a few good friends over..."
Lu Zhen nodded, reached out and patted her butt. Xiaoyan giggled, turned and walked out.
After waiting for a while, she came in with two equally beautiful young women. They were very conscious and sat next to Xiaohan and Yuan Biao with a scent of fragrance.
Xiao Yan also sat down and asked Yuan Biao with a smile: "Do you like it? If not, call me again."
Yuan Biao's face was slightly red because he had drunk some wine. He smoked a cigarette, sat on the sofa with a relaxed posture, stared at Xiao Yan and asked, "Can you really do anything?"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhen and Xiao Yan were both stunned.
…
Meanwhile, in the slums of District 1.
Zheng Guang and his friends walked into a somewhat dim room. The place was not big, and there were some messy cardboard boxes piled around it. It was dirty and messy.
Jiang Jianjun stood in the room with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say for a moment.
At this moment, Sister Hong knelt on the ground, her voice trembling as she begged Zheng Guang, "I beg you, please stop messing with him, I'm pregnant..."
Zheng Guang was stunned.
Next to him, Dai Quan held the phone and whispered to Su Tianyu, "We're here."
"Hurry up, Old Tan has already asked about this matter." Su Tianyu replied.
