The Substitute

The three-day gathering of the Chamber of Commerce finally drew to a close.

The diversions of the wealthy are always the same—wine, indulgence, and extravagance.

After rounds of golf, yacht outings, lavish gambling sprees, the final act was an evening of unrestrained revelry.

Wei Zhou had assumed full control over everything from his brother Wei Hang.

Now, be it the Wudu Club, Changye, or Zijin, all answered to his word.

He led a group of impeccably dressed men into Zijin, instructing the manager to bring out the most beautiful girls from the club.

As a line of girls filed into the spacious, hundred-square-foot private room, the seasoned businessmen, already tipsy from countless rounds, revealed traces of barely restrained desire on their faces.

Only Chi He, dragged in against his will by Wei Zhou, maintained a stony expression.
