ugh."Little Zhou, what are you here for To watch the Spring Festival Gala" asked Zhong Jianguo as he looked at Zhou Xianren.When Zhou Xianren’s father had called him earlier, he hadn’t mentioned any s...Chapter 346: Stirring
Xiao Yu walked to the miniature stream and artificial mountain in the center of the hall, seemingly admiring the scenery but actually pondering how to find貴賓室 No. 3.
At this moment, a tall woman in her twenties with an attractive face, wearing black attire, heard something through her earpiece that made her freeze for a second before she looked towards Xiao Yu standing by the artificial mountain and quickly walked over.
"Sir, hello! According to your membership level, you can freely enter any area. If you have any requests, we will go out of our way to fulfill them!"
The tall woman in black approached Xiao Yu, slightly bowing as she spoke.
Xiao Yu was considering how to find貴賓室 No. 3 when he suddenly heard the woman's words and thought for a moment before asking, "Where is貴賓室 No. 3"
Hearing this, the tall woman froze momentarily, wondering if this man was new to the place since someone with such high membership privileges wouldn't be unaware of its location.
Although she felt puzzled, she didn't hesitate because some matters were beyond her knowledge. Thus, upon hearing Xiao Yu's question, she promptly replied: "貴賓室 No. 3 is on the eighteenth floor of Building 3."
It turned out that in this Guang'an Club, the Platinum Members' building had special lounges from the topmost twenty-first floor down to the eleventh floor. Each lounge was numbered one through ten; for Gold Members, it was eleven to twenty on their dedicated building floors; and普通會員 (ordinary members) could access lounges on floors numbered twenty-one to thirty.
The usage of these lounges required a high fee and was also a symbol of status since only the top individuals among each membership tier were eligible for them.
Xiao Yu nodded, saying nothing more. He turned around and walked out of the hall towards Building 3.
Shortly after Xiao Yu left, three people entered from the door, all in their thirties with stern expressions. They didn't speak or acknowledge the doorman's words but walked straight ahead.
The leading person among them swiped a card at the entrance and the doors slowly opened. As they stepped inside, they went around the hall’s artificial mountain and stream towards the back.
The few security personnel in front of the computers on the underground third floor were seated at their workstations because they had just dealt with Xiao Yu's situation.
After these three people swiped their cards, when they saw the blank computer screens, they froze for a moment and then looked at the last computer. Upon seeing the word "special" displayed on the screen of that computer, the security captain was momentarily stunned, wondering what exactly was going on Such special access cards were only seen once over a year ago; how could he see two in such a short period
Thinking about this, the security guard looked at the large screen mounted on the wall. The screen showed images of the three people taken from various angles. When he watched them through the large screen, one of the three individuals glanced sideways at the camera facing him.
Since the security captain was looking at the large screen on the wall at that moment, their gazes met for a brief second.
The instant the security captain saw this person’s eyes, his entire body shivered. His heart rate suddenly increased, and all the hair on his body stood up straight as cold sweat instantly covered his forehead.
What kind of eyes were those!! The eye color was a dead gray, showing no emotions at all, cold and ruthless. Upon seeing this pair of eyes, he recalled a legend circulating in the military about true killing combat experts.
The security captain saw that these three individuals had entered the building and immediately got up from his seat and ran along the corridor outside.
The other few people were clueless about what happened and followed their usual routine by picking up walkie-talkies to communicate the permissions of the three who just entered.
After running out of that hall, the security captain went to an office nearby and knocked on its door.
In a short while, a robust man in his early forties opened the door. Seeing the sweating security captain, he was puzzled as he asked: "Little Liu, what's going on"
"Manager Qi, it’s like this…..." Upon hearing the robust man's question, the security captain recounted to him everything that happened and described seeing those eyes.
When Manager Qi heard about the incident from the security captain, he frowned a few times but showed no change on his face. After the security captain finished speaking, Manager Qi said: "Little Liu, there's no need to be nervous. You can go back now and act as if nothing happened."
"Yes, sir!" Hearing Manager Qi’s words, the security captain quickly responded and walked away.
The manager's mind was actually not as calm as it appeared on the surface. After the security captain left, he hurriedly went inside and picked up the phone to make a call.
This call was made to their boss, that legendary top princeling party member.
After a moment, the call connected, and he told their boss about what the security captain had informed him. Manager Qi had been with their boss for nearly twenty years, being an absolute confidant of this boss. Therefore, he had some understanding of those who held special cards, which was why he promptly informed their boss after hearing the security captain's report.
"Little Qi, keep track of where they go and let me know!" The owner of the Guang'an Club instructed Manager Qi in a cool tone over the phone.
"Yes, sir!" Manager Qi replied immediately, then picked up a coat and went out.
Manager Qi arrived at the monitoring room where the security guards were stationed. Upon seeing him arrive, the chaotic monitoring room instantly quieted down. Manager Qi carefully observed the surveillance screens on the wall; when he approached one large screen, his previously steady steps suddenly halted.
The large screen showed those three individuals. Although Manager Qi had never seen these people before, as soon as he saw them, he knew they were the ones mentioned by the security captain. But upon seeing which direction the trio was heading in, a sudden change came over his face.
After glancing at the large screen, Manager Qi hurriedly stepped out and dialed another call.
"Boss, they're headed to the Platinum Membership Building!" After connecting the call, Manager Qi said into the phone.
"Come on, let's head to room three of the surveillance center!" The boss instructed over the phone before hanging up.
After hanging up, Manager Qi immediately went out. When he reached a small door, two security guards wearing black Zhongshan suits were standing guard at the entrance. Even though it was late at night, these security guards remained alert and energetic.
The two guards quickly opened the door for Manager Qi upon seeing him approach. Behind the door lay a narrow and dim corridor. Manager Qi hurriedly crossed through the corridor to the other side, where another pair of guards were stationed at the entrance on that side. Upon stepping out of the entrance, there was a large hall surrounded by several rooms.
Just as he reached the center of the hall, several people walked out from an elevator. Leading them was a man in his fifties, while the other three were slightly younger but still middle-aged.
Manager Qi saw the few people coming out and hurriedly went over to greet them. He had seen these individuals before and knew they were friends of the boss, but he didn’t know their specific identities, only that they held extraordinary positions within this Guang’an Club.
Manager Qi accompanied the group to the third surveillance room, which was slightly smaller than the previous one but still adorned with large screens covering the walls. This monitoring room solely monitored the Platinum Membership Building and did not oversee other areas of the club.
The security personnel in this room stood up as a collective when they saw these individuals enter, greeting them politely. However, the group ignored the security staff and began examining the wall-mounted screens instead.
“What are they doing here”
When these middle-aged men spotted those three people entering the building, their minds were filled with this very question.
The trio in the surveillance footage moved freely to the Platinum Membership Building and pressed eighteen on the elevator before waiting inside.
"Who is occupying the VIP Room 3 today" The fifty-something-year-old boss asked after seeing them press eighteen on the lift.
"VIP Room 3 has guests from the Wang, Li, Huang, Zhang, and Zhou families!" As soon as this middle-aged man finished speaking, a security guard behind him stood up to answer.
The youngest among these middle-aged men, who was around forty years old, appeared uninterested in the group. He had been looking at various screens on the wall when his gaze suddenly fixed onto one particular screen, staring intently at it.
"When did this person arrive How does he have a Platinum card" The man in his forties pointed to a large screen and asked.
Upon hearing him speak, the security guard looked towards the fifty-something-year-old with some difficulty.
The middle-aged man around fifty years old turned to look at the forty-something-year-old curiously when he heard this question. "Huhu, Tiger Mountain, who did you see"
"Hehe, Brother Huang, it's a little brother of mine who came with me from Beijing for my father’s grand birthday celebration! I arranged him to stay at West Hill; why would he be here"d he woke up at that moment.Actually, when Xiao Yu asked Zhang Dahai about their camp's location just now, he felt a strange intuition that Xiao Yu would go alone during the night. Although he didn't...
