Inside a room at the ML Club, Xue Hu sat on a chair, his hands tied with rope and a towel stuffed in his mouth, rendering him immovable and speechless. He could only make muffled "mmm" noises.
Two muscular black men stood in front of Xue Hu with their hands behind their backs, staring intently at him.
Xue Hu opened his eyes and struggled a bit, possibly because of the glaring lights or the discomfort caused by the two men. After a brief struggle, he stopped and closed his eyes, as if resigned to his fate.
A few minutes later, Chen Fan arrived at the door of the room, accompanied by Fina.
"Master, boss."
Upon seeing Chen Fan and Fina enter the room, the two black men quickly bowed and greeted them. They had seen Chen Fan at the club's entrance earlier, and Fina had instructed them to call him master; knowing Chen Fan's extraordinary status, they chose to greet him first.
