Chapter 241: This is a Trap

However, Jiang Hao did not grasp his meaning. Instead, he said, "Chen, are you mistaken? I never said that."

"You..." Ling Chen was infuriated. This guy is usually quite clever. How could he not even understand a look from him?

At that moment, the beautiful woman came over with a smile, hugged Ling Chen’s arm with both hands, and sweetly said, "Boss, since you’re here, why not stay and play for a while? Why rush to leave? Let me keep you company; I’ll make sure you’re satisfied."

Hearing that overly sweet voice, Ling Chen shivered involuntarily, angry yet tearless. This woman has caught him and won’t let him leave.

He squeezed out a smile reluctantly, ready to find an excuse to slip away. But before he could say anything, he suddenly felt pain in his arm—the woman was fiercely pinching his flesh with her nails, her eyes carrying a threat.

"Sit down obediently. If you dare to leave, I will immediately have you arrested."

An inaudibly quiet voice came over. Ling Chen knew he couldn’t escape now, so he might as well comply and sat back down obediently.

Jiang Hao and the others thought he was captivated by the beauty, and they all started laughing, giving a thumbs-up. "This lady is amazing, even able to subdue our Chen."

Tao smiled and said, "You can only say that this boss has good taste. This is our newly arrived beauty, working for the first time tonight."

Ling Chen glared at Jiang Hao and the other two angrily. These three idiots are classic examples of losing their brains at the sight of a woman. They had seen Xia Mutong before, especially Nanrong Hao, who had been detained in the station these past few days, almost meeting Xia Mutong every day, yet he didn’t recognize her.

After a while, Nanrong Hao and the others each selected a beauty. Once Tao had led the remaining women out, several waiters came in and placed drinks and snacks onto the coffee table.

"Enjoy at your leisure, gentlemen. Call us whenever you need something."

Jiang Hao gave Nanrong Hao a look, picked up a bottle of foreign liquor, poured two glasses, and smilingly handed one to Ling Chen.

"Chen, here, this glass is for you. Let’s down it in one gulp."

Ling Chen was never afraid of drinking, but with Xia Mutong sitting next to him, he really wasn’t in the mood.

"Let’s put it aside for now; I’ll drink it later."

"Chen, we are out to have fun; don’t ruin it," Zhao Zhengxiong came over with a glass of drink, then pointed at Xia Mutong beside him. Dissatisfied, he said, "Hey, it’s not like we paid money for you just to sit here. Hurry and encourage Chen to drink."

Hearing this, Xia Mutong picked up a glass of foreign liquor, leaned against Ling Chen’s body, and coquettishly said, "Boss, come on, let’s drink this glass."

This woman... how long is she going to keep up this act?

Ling Chen had no choice but to sip a bit to pacify her.

However, once the alcohol went down, Jiang Hao and the other two took turns pushing drinks, one glass after another, along with Xia Mutong’s encouragement to drink. It wasn’t long before most of a bottle of foreign liquor was consumed by Ling Chen and Xia Mutong.

The aftereffects of the foreign liquor were strong. Ling Chen felt dizzy, his body seemed to be burning, and he was extremely restless. Not just him, Xia Mutong was also not in good shape; her forehead was drenched with sweat, her face flushed red, and she kept exhaling, revealing a seductive attitude.

Seeing that the two had drunk a lot, Jiang Hao came over with a smile. "Chen, how about we take you to rest for a bit?"

Ling Chen nodded. Given his capacity for liquor, this situation shouldn’t have arisen, but now with the alcohol affecting him, he was very uncomfortable, feeling an inexplicable impulse, wanting to find a quiet place to lay down.

"Haozi, let’s go, let’s take Chen to the room." Saying this, the two helped both Ling Chen and Xia Mutong up, walked them out of the private room, and into an adjoining guest room.

After settling them in, Jiang Hao and Nanrong Hao immediately exited the room, stood outside the door covering their mouths, snickering quietly.

"Hao, everything okay?"

"Relax, I’ve notified Tao to add something to that bottle of foreign liquor; Chen won’t be going back tonight."

"Well done."

Inside the room.

Ling Chen and Xia Mutong lay side by side on the bed, eyes closed, trying to get a good sleep. However, for some reason, the more they tried to sleep, the less they could, and the restlessness in their hearts grew stronger, almost uncontrollable. He couldn’t help but open his eyes and turn his head to look at Xia Mutong beside him, her pretty face flushed red, her fair skin showing a light blush, her mouth slightly open, her two long white legs tightly clamped together, her voluptuous body heaving.

Ling Chen swallowed. With his willpower, he was originally still able to somewhat control himself, but the scene before his eyes indeed made him feel unbearable.

The last bit of consciousness under that inexplicable thinking gradually blurred, and he reached out to the person beside him...

...

Outside the Emperor Foot Bath City.

A commercial van was parked by the roadside; several plainclothes police officers sat in front of a row of computers, watching through the surveillance the guests coming in and out of the foot bath city.

"It’s been so long, why hasn’t Captain Xia sent a signal yet? Hey, there won’t be a problem, right?"

"What’s the rush? Captain Xia has her own measures. If there really was a problem, she would have contacted us already. What, are you afraid that someone might take advantage of Captain Xia?"

"I just don’t know what the higher-ups were thinking, actually letting Captain Xia go undercover."

"Who else but Captain Xia could be our police station’s beauty? I heard this foot bath city has high standards for the looks of their hostesses; besides Captain Xia, our station really couldn’t select anyone else more suitable."
