256: Chapter 256 Which An?

The waiter paused while getting the shoes, a hint of caution flashing in his eyes as he sized Lin Haoxuan up from head to toe.

"Relax, brother, I'm not some narc."

Lin Haoxuan waved his hand dismissively like a seasoned pro and lowered his voice. "I'm just here to check out the quality. If the Girls are good and the service is on point, I'll just get a membership card, right? I'll be a regular and support your business!"

The waiter scrutinized him a few more times. Seeing that although the kid was young, his eyes were shifty and his demeanor was sleazy—definitely not looking like some righteous undercover cop or a meddling investigative journalist—the smile on his face became warm again.

"Please bear with us, brother. It's almost the New Year, and things are tight. Many places don't even dare to open. We're just being cautious; it's better for everyone."

"I get it, I get it. Caution is good! I wouldn't even dare come to a place that wasn't cautious; it's not safe."

Lin Haoxuan took the slippers and put them on, asking as he walked inside, "Alright, I'll go have a rinse. How many technicians are in right now? Wake up the ones who are sleeping. I want to pick from a few; I need to relax properly today."

Hearing this, the waiter felt even more at ease—this guy was definitely an old hand!

"Don't worry, brother, I'll make sure you're satisfied! Go ahead and wash up first. Someone will receive you upstairs. I'll let them know right now to save the best Girls for you!"

Lin Haoxuan tilted his chin up, gave a smiling "Mm," and followed the signs toward the men's bathroom.

After rinsing off and changing into the bathrobe provided by the club, Lin Haoxuan was led upstairs by the waiter to a dimly lit private room with an ambiguous atmosphere.

The room was spacious, fully equipped with a water bed, a massage table, a shower room, a double bathtub, and a sofa. A faint scent of incense wafted through the air.

He scanned the room, giving his brother-in-law countless thumbs-ups in his heart.

His brother-in-law was truly reliable!

Nowadays, finding a "good place" with such great hardware and safety was no easy feat! He had to enjoy himself to the fullest tonight!

Before long, the waiter led in six young and beautiful Girls dressed in skimpy clothing, lining them up for him to choose from.

"Brother, see if there's anyone you like? They're all the shop's top picks; their skills are top-notch."

Lin Haoxuan's eyes immediately lit up. After some careful selection, he pointed at a few of them.

"Alright, brother! Have fun!" The waiter exited with a smile, closing the door behind him.

The Girls immediately surrounded him with giggles, their voices so sweet they could practically drip.

"Big brother~ Why don't you take a bath and relax first?" One of them swayed her hips as she went to fill the bathtub.

"Big brother must be tired, right? Let me give you a massage~" Another skillfully tidied the large bed and laid out disposable sheets.

The third Girl picked up the jacket Lin Haoxuan had just taken off and hung it on the hook on the inside of the door with a giggle, perfectly blocking the small window on the door.

Watching this professional sequence of events, Lin Haoxuan felt even more restless. He lay back comfortably on the sofa.

"Girls, what kind of services do you have?"

One Girl leaned in close, her breath like orchids in his ear. "Whatever services you want, big brother, we have them~ We can chat slowly later~"

Lin Haoxuan was now completely certain—his brother-in-law was indeed reliable!

————

More than twenty minutes later, while Lin Haoxuan was immersed in this gentle paradise, a low siren suddenly wailed from the corridor outside!

"Ah!"

The disheveled Girls immediately paled in fright, scrambling to find their clothes and pull them on.

"We're finished! The front desk hit the alarm. Something happened downstairs!"

"Holy shit?!"

Lin Haoxuan jumped in shock, springing straight up from the bed, cold sweat breaking out instantly.

He hurriedly grabbed his pants and yanked them onto his legs, muttering incessantly, "Damn it! What's going on? Didn't they say it was safe?!"

Just then, with a loud "bang," the door to the private room was kicked open from the outside!

Two men wearing ordinary down jackets but with sharp eyes and badges hanging from their chests rushed straight in, shouting sternly:

"Police! Nobody move! Hands behind your heads, stand against the wall!"

Lin Haoxuan had only pulled his pants up halfway. Seeing the flashing police IDs, his legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed onto the floor.

————

An Zhengjun stood in the first-floor lobby of the "Royal Foot Silk Foot" club, expressionlessly watching his officers register and escort the men and women out of the upstairs rooms one by one into police cars.

His gaze swept over the ashen-faced front desk staff and waiters nearby, his tone icy:

"Who's the person in charge?"

A man in a suit who looked like a manager tremblingly raised his hand. "I... I'm the lobby manager..."

"Captain An..."

The policewoman Officer Xiao Ning walked over carrying the computer tower she had removed from the front desk. "The computer has detailed customer reservation records and accounts. The evidence is quite complete."

Just then, a work phone on the front desk suddenly rang.

Before the terrified receptionist Girl could react, a nearby officer quickly picked up the phone and handed it to An Zhengjun.

He glanced at the screen. It was an unknown number with no contact name. He swiped to answer and put it to his ear.

"Hello? Xiao Mei, what's going on? Did something happen at 'home'?"

An Zhengjun smiled, his tone flat. "Yeah, something happened."

The other end of the line went silent. After a full three or four seconds, a dry laugh came through:

"Hehe, officer, we're a legitimate foot bath and massage parlor with all the necessary business licenses. Is there some misunderstanding? Many friends in the district know about my place; we've always operated according to the law. We couldn't have been set up by some blind fool, could we?"

An Zhengjun understood the meaning behind the words.

He glanced at Lin Haoxuan, who had just been brought down from upstairs and was still shouting, "Let me call my brother-in-law! My brother-in-law is the president of the Jiang Group!" The corner of An Zhengjun's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Save it. Illegal acts will be prosecuted; no amount of 'friends' will help you. Come in and report yourself; don't wait for me to send someone to 'invite' you."

The person on the other end stalled, their voice dropping and taking on a hint of coldness:

"Brother, don't be too ruthless. What's your surname? Leave some room for maneuver so we can meet on good terms in the fut—"

"An Zhengjun."

An Zhengjun interrupted him impatiently. "An as in 'living in peace,' Zheng as in 'justice,' and Jun as in 'thunderous power.' Anything else you want to say?"

The person on the other end was stunned and subconsciously repeated, "An? Like An Xin's An?"

"..."

An Zhengjun's face instantly darkened. He hung up the phone and handed it to Officer Xiao Ning nearby:

"Trace the source of this number and the owner's information. Find two people to go bring this bastard back to me right now. Move fast, don't let him turn himself in first."
