18: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road 

 I played mahjong with a few girls all night, and when I woke up in the morning it was already past six in the afternoon. I hurriedly put on makeup and got ready to go to work.

  Jiangnan was also sleepy during the day. When he rubbed his eyes and got up, he saw the girls fighting for a mirror as usual. They seemed to have recovered from the storm of last night.

  This is the life of the ladies in nightclubs, living a life of luxury and debauchery, spending days as if they were nights. In Shanshan's words, "We are just a bunch of little devils."

  CB's heavy metal cuts through the tranquility of the night sky. Here everyone is a beast, and they can vent their dissatisfaction of the day to their heart's content. After drinking some wine and having sex with two women, all their worries will be forgotten.

  Of course, those who look for beautiful women are big bosses. Ordinary white-collar workers can forget about it because they don't even earn as much as a prostitute in a month. All men are like this, with no money in their pockets and no penis in their crotch. However, they can pick up girls. CB provides a platform for women who also have no money but want to play with men. Whenever there are single men and women in the booths, there will generally be someone to chat them up. If the chat goes well, getting a room is not a problem.

  Jiangnan was not busy in the private room today. He was joking with Shanshan at the bar. Chaoyang patted Jiangnan on the back and said, "Come over here and have a drink, Jiangnan."

  Jiangnan was stunned for a moment. He thought, this grandson wouldn't really hold a grudge against him and want to punish him.

  Although he thought so, Jiangnan still followed Chaoyang. Chaoyang sat in a booth, which is the sofa area in the bar. Usually, only beautiful employees can sit here, because the minimum consumption for a booth is more than 500 yuan.

  As soon as he arrived at the booth, Jiangnan was completely stunned, because there was a person sitting on the sofa, and it was none other than the bald guy Hua Qiang who he had taught Leng Yao a lesson for when he rushed to the Big Tail Wolf that day.

  Huaqiang was also stunned. He didn't expect that the man Chaoyang was talking about was actually Jiangnan. Chaoyang smiled and said, "Why don't you sit down quickly? Do you know each other?"

  Jiangnan smiled awkwardly but didn't say anything. Huaqiang coughed twice, poured two glasses of red wine, and pushed one in front of Jiangnan. "We've only met once, so we don't know each other. Let's go together, buddy."

  Seeing that Huaqiang had let bygones be bygones, Jiangnan knew that he was the one who had benefited, so he had nothing to say. He simply clinked glasses with Huaqiang and finished the red wine in the glass.

  Chaoyang chuckled and looked at Jiangnan. "This big brother in Jiangnan is called Huaqiang. He knows everyone on this bar street. Although he is responsible for watching over Fenghe across the street, he is also a good friend of mine."

  Jiangnan thought to himself that it was not good. You bastard, it's not Liu Tao's fault that he couldn't touch Chaoyang. It turned out that this grandson really knew everyone. But he kept saying, "Brother Qiang, I'll give you another toast. I'm afraid I didn't recognize the real man."

  "Hey! What are you talking about? By the way, I heard from Chaoyang that you are studying at Jiangnan University, right?" Huaqiang said after taking a sip of red wine.

  Jiangnan nodded, "It's only been a few days since school started. There's nothing to do in college, so I came out to earn some extra money."

  "Do you know Tang Hao?"

  "Tang Hao?" Jiangnan tried hard to imagine, isn't Tang Hao the rich second generation in his class?

  The ones who impressed Jiangnan were the beauties in the class. The other one was Tang Hao, a second-generation rich man. "You asked the right person. We are classmates."

  Hua Qiang smiled and nodded, "What a coincidence! I guess Tang Hao is quite well-known in Jiangda. To tell you the truth, he is the son of Fenghe's boss, Mr. Tang Zhengyang. You two should get along well with each other in the future."

  "We are classmates, you're welcome." Jiangnan said hypocritically.

  Chaoyang filled their glasses with wine, exchanged glances with Huaqiang, and then lit a cigarette while casually saying, "Jiangnan, did you know that a big thing happened in Jiangling yesterday?"

  "I don't even have a cell phone and I have no access to information, so how would I know?" Jiangnan suddenly became alert.

  Huaqiang no longer had the smile on his face and continued drinking. Chaoyang continued, "Several of Brother Qiang's brothers were killed after drinking last night."

  "Ah? No way?" Jiangnan pretended to be surprised, but in fact he was surprised at why Chaoyang told him this. An ominous premonition came to his mind.

  "Brother Qiang, you should speak first. This person is yours." Chaoyang glanced at Huaqiang and said.

  Huaqiang nodded, put down his glass, and looked at me with deep eyes. "I was drinking with a few brothers yesterday. After drinking, they said they wanted to have sex, but I didn't go because I had something else to do. I know these brothers well. They are tired of Fenghe's free sex. One of them called me and said..."

  Huaqiang said this, staring into Jiangnan's eyes, "He said... he said he just saw three beauties from CB coming out to eat, and asked me to go over and play with them. Oh... I was just too lazy, so I didn't go. I only found out this morning that they were all dead on Tongren Road..."

  Jiangnan picked up the cigarette on the table and lit it up. He took a deep breath and blew out a smoke ring. He felt something was wrong in his heart. "What do you mean by saying this to me, Brother Qiang? I'm just a waiter."

  Chaoyang sat there with an innocent look on his face, as if it had nothing to do with him. After Huaqiang discussed the matter with him, Chaoyang had an idea in his mind. Fatty Wang also told him that Jiangnan was quite skilled in martial arts.

  Huaqiang crossed his legs. Chaoyang said that this might be related to a waiter under his command, because this waiter had a good relationship with those girls. He didn't believe it at first, but when he saw that this waiter was Jiangnan, he became certain in his heart, "Although my brothers drank too much, they are not idiots. It's impossible that three girls killed them... It's absolutely impossible that there is no man who did it, and this man must be very capable..."

  Huaqiang spoke sarcastically, rubbing his wrist with his hand, as if hinting at the wound on his wrist caused by Jiangnan's scratch.

  Jiangnan blew out a smoke ring. Without saying anything, Huaqiang cursed Chaoyang a thousand times in his heart for betraying him. He never thought that Chaoyang would hang out with this group of thugs.

  The sky is vast and nothing can escape it. There is no wall that is impenetrable. It is certain that Huaqiang and Jiangnan are in collusion and will plot against him. Just as Liu Tao expected, Chaoyang is a sinister villain.

  Jiangnan thought so in his heart, but he couldn't give in. "Brother Qiang, I understand what you mean. We must have evidence for everything. It's wrong to accuse someone for no reason. I think..."

  "You don't have to think about it. I wouldn't come to your door without evidence. I don't know if you know, Jiangnan, that the drivers who work night shifts in Jiangling, especially those who work at three or four o'clock in the morning, all have people on the road with them, because they are also worried about the danger of being hijacked. Unfortunately, after some investigation, I found that there were only a few drivers who went to Tongren Road at 3:30 last night. If I call them here, I guess..." Huaqiang said this, staring at Jiangnan.

  Jiangnan felt a chill in his heart. Damn it, this is bad. He thought he had done it perfectly and had overlooked the taxi incident. "Brother Qiang, do you mean to say that you have decided on me?"

  "Haha... brother, I'm just guessing. Haven't you asked the taxi driver to come over to identify himself? Anyway, if it was really you who was careless, we wouldn't have to call the police. Now, they deserved to be in trouble for playing with your woman. If it weren't for you, I would have called for help. We wouldn't be afraid of hurting our own people whether we go by the dark or the light." Huaqiang said to Jiangnan with a smile.

  Hua Qiang was afraid that Jiang Nan would be worried, so he added, "Actually, a few subordinates are nothing. I feel more relaxed without a few people who are just eating for free. If you are a brother, you can call those women over, have a drink with me, apologize and that's it."

  Jiangnan cursed inwardly, "Fuck you!" Admitting it would be like jumping into a fire pit. Not to mention that shady Chaoyang, just the antagonistic relationship between Fenghe Bar and CB Bar would make it clear that this bastard would not let him go.

  "Haha, then Brother Qiang should really open a case for investigation. It would be bad if the murderer could get away with it."

  Several people smiled at each other, each with their own thoughts. Everyone almost knew who the real murderer was. Huaqiang knew, Chaoyang knew, and Jiangnan knew it was himself. The other two people all had a grudge against him and were hoping something bad would happen to him. An ominous premonition shrouded Jiangnan's heart.

  Huaqiang stood up and said, "I'm so sorry for suspecting you. Let's go to Fenghe for a drink some other day. I'll treat you as an apology. I still have to find the murderer who killed my brother. You two can talk slowly."

  "Wait! Brother Qiang!" Chaoyang suddenly grabbed Huaqiang's arm and said.

  "Is there anything else, Chaoyang?" Huaqiang asked.

  "Haha, you ignored me, my brother. I don't like that. After all, I am also the lobby manager of CB. How can I be left out of the investigation?"

  "you mean?"

  "What I mean is simple. Since it's your brother who played with the women of CB, they must have been present, including when the murderer killed people. Check them one by one. These are all bitches. Bitches are heartless and actors are disloyal. If you give them some benefits, I don't believe they won't give out the person who did it for them." Chaoyang said with a sidelong glance at Jiangnan.

  "That's right!" Hua Qiang clapped his hands, "How could I forget you? Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. If you find the murderer, you will definitely benefit from it."

  The two smiled at each other, but Jiangnan felt uncomfortable. Chaoyang was obviously targeting him. Although there were two or three hundred beauties in CB, since he wanted to investigate him, the target was immediately located on Nana, Shanshan, Jingjing and Lili. Jiangnan was sure about Shanshan and Nana, but he was not familiar with Lili and Jingjing after all. Chaoyang's words "biaozi ruthless" just reminded Jiangnan.

  Chaoyang sent Huaqiang away, and then whispered to Jiangnan, "Jiangnan, this matter is really not yours?"

  "Of course not. Would I be a waiter if I had such great ability?" Jiangnan shook his head.

  "That's good. I was just afraid of hurting our own people. Let's consider it as a favor to Huaqiang. It will be beneficial to CB after the murderer is found. As for our ladies, just play with them. Ladies are meant to be played with by men. Why would we care about playing with them more or less?" Chaoyang said hypocritically.

  Jiangnan gritted his teeth and smiled, "Then if there's nothing else, I'll get busy."

  Jiangnan left the booth and entered the staff lounge, where he frowned tightly. Chaoyang was trying to kill him.
