Night fell, and the dazzling lights of Modu painted a picture of boundless prosperity.

In a discreet parking spot that nonetheless offered a wide, unobstructed view, a black Passat sat quietly.

The window was cracked open slightly. A large man in a black jacket sat silently in the driver’s seat.

Despite the bright streetlights all around, you would never notice Wei Wu in the parking space unless you were deliberately looking.

After leaving Cofco Seaview No.1, Wei Wu had driven to the area around Boliya Bar to do some reconnaissance. After circling a few times to familiarize himself with the surroundings, he went to a supermarket and bought a large stash of supplies, preparing for a long stakeout in his car.

He had plenty of time that afternoon. After stowing the water and food on the passenger seat, he even had time to go for a walk and look around.

After seeing Wang Tianqi’s social media post, Wei Wu had formed a plan. ’I’ll lie in wait for him here tonight and start tailing him from this spot.’

He glanced at the camera disguised as a pair of glasses resting on the center console. It was the equipment Wu Yun had given him, with instructions to film any of Wang Tianqi’s vile acts if the opportunity arose.

A little past eleven, Wei Wu was still silently watching the entrance to the bar.

People came and went. All sorts of scantily clad women entered the main doors, laughing and giggling.

The roar of sports cars occasionally echoed through the street, and each one drew Wei Wu’s focused attention.

Just then, a fiery red Ferrari 458 pulled up to the entrance. The license plate ended in the numbers 123.

A man in a tailored suit hurried forward to open the driver’s side door.

Wei Wu sat bolt upright, his gaze locked on the open driver’s door through his windshield.

A fashionably dressed young man with an earring stepped out, radiating a frivolous, devil-may-care aura.

’That’s my target.’

The young man tossed his keys to a nearby valet, then pulled a hundred-yuan bill from his wallet, holding it out to the man between two fingers.

The valet bowed obsequiously as he accepted the keys and the tip.

Wei Wu put on the glasses and followed him in.

The glasses made Wei Wu look much more scholarly than usual, concealing his formidable aura. Aside from his frame, which was taller and more muscular than average, his whole demeanor seemed more subdued.

Wei Wu easily passed through the security check, staying not too far behind Wang Tianqi.

He followed, pushing through several layers of sound-dampening curtains. The soaring music from the sound system echoed through the underground space, making Wei Wu’s heart pound in his chest.

Fortunately, this wasn’t Wei Wu’s first time in a nightclub. For him, this was far more pleasant than the constant explosions on a battlefield.

He quickly composed himself. Pretending to be a wide-eyed newcomer, he scanned the bar’s interior, though his gaze never strayed from Wang Tianqi’s back.

Only after he saw Wang Tianqi join a group of young men and women in a central booth did Wei Wu finally look away.

An in-house bouncer had taken notice of him.

Feigning a wave to someone on the dance floor, Wei Wu smiled and headed toward it.

The dance floor was packed with people swaying to the DJ’s music. Wei Wu found a spot with a clear view of Wang Tianqi’s booth, leaned back against the DJ stand, and started to slowly move his body to the rhythm.

Wang Tianqi reached the booth and nodded a greeting to a man dressed in a similar hip-hop style.

The hip-hop guy shouted with a laugh, "Old Wang, what took you so long! Quick, tell us what happened!"

With a sullen look, Wang Tianqi downed the drink in front of him in one go, then yelled, "Old Liu! You know that sophomore at school I’ve had my eye on? The one I showed you a picture of!"

It dawned on the hip-hop guy, and he shouted, "Oh! Rejected again?! I told you to stop trying to poach other people’s girlfriends! Why give up the whole forest for a single tree? Right, ladies?"

Taking the cue, a scantily clad woman next to Wang Tianqi immediately snuggled up to him, picking up a drink from the table. "Young Master Wang! Come on, drink up. You’ve got all of us here to keep you company! Why dwell on unpleasant things?"

Wang Tianqi’s expression softened slightly as he opened his mouth and let the woman pour the drink in.

The hip-hop guy asked, "So, Old Wang, what’s your next move? Are you going to keep chasing her or give up?"

Wang Tianqi’s expression turned vicious. "I’m going to investigate Qi Fei’s boyfriend first. If he’s a nobody with no connections, then he can’t blame me for what happens next!"

As for Qi Fei’s Porsche 911, he figured her family must have some money. If not for that, he would have resorted to force long ago.

If the guy had no connections, he could intimidate him, threaten him, or even pay him off to get lost. It wasn’t like he hadn’t done it before.

The hip-hop guy wasn’t surprised by Wang Tianqi’s approach; birds of a feather flock together, after all.

He was a year or two older than Wang Tianqi and had done plenty of similar things himself. Of course, they were always resolved with money in the end.

In their view, any problem that could be solved with money wasn’t really a problem.

"So what’s your plan this time?"

"Here’s the plan..."

Wei Wu kept dancing, his eyes fixed on the situation in the booth.

The flashing, dim lights made it impossible to see their expressions clearly. He could only see them whispering to each other for a moment before they started playing a game.

Just as Wei Wu was focused on his surveillance, a soft hand tapped his shoulder.

Wei Wu’s immediate instinct was to grab it, but he suppressed the urge.

He turned around slowly. A stunning, curvaceous woman in a short skirt and stockings stood before him. Even in high heels, she only came up to the tip of his nose.

Leaning in close to his chest, her fiery red lips parted. "Hey handsome! All alone? How about I buy you a drink?"

Wei Wu smiled and shook his head. "Sorry, beautiful, but I’m already with someone tonight."

As he spoke, he gestured toward Wang Tianqi’s booth.

The gorgeous woman looked a little disappointed, but she quickly recovered with a smile. "Well, handsome, why don’t you add me on WeChat? We can grab a drink together some other time."

Not wanting to cause any unnecessary complications, Wei Wu didn’t refuse. He simply took out his phone and added the beautiful woman, whose name was Sweet.

Watching Sweet’s retreating figure, Wei Wu gave a wry smile. ’If I were single, and maybe five years younger, I might have gone and had a little fun.’

’But the responsibility I shoulder now means I can’t let my guard down for a second. I can’t afford to make a mistake!’

Seeing Wang Tianqi made Wei Wu think of Wu Yun again. ’They’re the same age, so how can they be so different?’

He was also somewhat relieved that Wu Yun wasn’t a regular at bars; otherwise, this job would be much more difficult.

After all, the probability of alcohol-fueled incidents in nightclubs and other entertainment venues was much higher than during the day.

Although Wu Yun was something of a playboy with several women, in Wei Wu’s opinion, he had the capital to back it up.

Wei Wu spent the next two hours on the dance floor, constantly changing his position and dancing non-stop. In the process, he ended up adding five more women to his WeChat.

Just as he was about to take a break, he saw Wang Tianqi and his group get up to leave.

Without hesitation, Wei Wu immediately began to push his way through the crowd.
