Chapter 146 Please start your performance
Because of this little incident, Gu Huaizhou remained unusually silent on the way back to Dongzhou City.
Knowing how confused he was, Li Xi hugged her small blanket and went to sleep.
Back in Dongzhou City, it was already 11 p.m., so they found a well-regarded late-night eatery and had hot pot.
After the meal, Chu Xu sent his subordinates to take Zhou Qi back to his rented room.
Gu Huaizhou then handed Chu Xu's car keys to Li Xi.
"Xixi, you go back to the apartment with Xue Ni and get some rest. I have some things to take care of, so I won't be going back tonight."
Li Xi knew what he was going to do, and she said, "I'll go with you."
Gu Huaizhou hesitated for a moment.
Xue Ni was also a shrewd person. Knowing that the two of them had important business to attend to, she cleverly got into another bodyguard's car, rolled down the window, waved to them, and said, "Xi Xi, you go and keep Zhen Ge company. I'll go back to your house to sleep by myself."
"I know your place well, so I won't stand on ceremony with you. Don't worry."
After saying that, Xue Ni urged the driver to drive away.
Seeing Xue Ni slip away so easily, Li Xi secretly gave her a thumbs up.
Gu Huaizhou looked down at Li Xi helplessly, and sighed softly, "Xi Xi, this matter has nothing to do with you, I..."
Li Xi interrupted Gu Huaizhou forcefully: "How is it none of my business?"
“You’re afraid of the dark and dislike women who wear white dresses. But I like to sleep with the lights off, preferably with the curtains tightly closed so that not a single ray of light can get in. I also like to wear white dresses, especially those ethereal little white dresses.”
"Gu Huaizhou, if I'm serious about dating you, it's because I want to spend my life with you. Do you expect me to spend my whole life putting up with all your quirks?"
Hearing Li Xi's blunt words, Chu Xu frowned. He glanced at Gu Huaizhou worriedly, fearing that his boss might be provoked into a rage.
But Gu Huaizhou only grasped one key point: "Are you willing to spend your whole life with me?"
Chu Xu: "..."
OK OK.
Being love-struck is wonderful.
"Yes, I want to spend my whole life with you, so you have to change those bad habits of yours."
"Only by finding out the details of the kidnapping, figuring out who the murderer is, and investigating the true cause of death of your parents and brothers can you fully confront your dark past."
"Only by going into the abyss can you get out of the abyss."
"So, Gu Huaizhou, I want to accompany you into the abyss to see what's really going on."
"I'll ask you one more time." Li Xi walked up to Gu Huaizhou and asked him seriously, "Does this have anything to do with me?"
How could Gu Huaizhou bear to push Li Xi away?
She's like a warm little sun, captivating people and drawing them closer.
"I misspoke just now. My business is your business."
After saying that, Gu Huaizhou took Li Xi's hand. He was glad that Li Xi was willing to stay with him all the time. "Xi Xi, with you by my side, I suddenly feel less resistant to finding the truth."
Li Xi glared at him and warned him sternly, "Say something stupid like that once is enough. If I hear it again, I'll definitely be angry."
"Not anymore."
Seeing that the boss and Miss Li had reached an agreement, Chu Xu poked his head out and asked, "Boss, shall we go and interrogate that Liu Huang now?"
"Ah."

As one of the top-rated high-end nightclubs in Dongzhou City, Ye Weiyang KTV Club is a vibrant and exciting place late at night.
The clubhouse has five floors.
The first floor is a magnificent lobby, the second floor is a properly operating karaoke bar, and the third floor is a leisure club.
Above that are high-end venues open only to members with a million-dollar annual fee.
The most beautiful princesses and the most handsome male models are both on these two floors.
Although the fourth floor is also a karaoke place, there are pretty young ladies and gentlemen to sing and play with. The more money consumers have in their pockets, the bigger and more they spend.
The club on the fifth floor has staff who provide one-on-one service.
For example, when playing snooker, if a customer says the table is uncomfortable, a beautiful and sexy staff member will immediately bend down to be level with the table, making it easier for the customer to putt the cue...
Gu Huaizhou was unaware of these things; Li Xi had been explaining them to him the whole way.
Li Xi spoke fluently and knowledgeably, as if she were very familiar with the place. Chu Xu nodded repeatedly as he listened, "That's right, the Night Never Ends Club is indeed as Miss Li described."
Gu Huaizhou glanced at Chu Xu without changing his expression and asked him, "Have you been there?"
Chu Xu shook his head, "I've been there, but not for fun, it was for serious business."
Gu Huaizhou then looked at Li Xi, who was still chattering away, and asked, "You know so much about what's inside, have you been there too?"
Li Xi: "..."
Chu Xu suppressed a laugh and didn't dare to say a word.
“I’ve never been there, but Xie Mingzong often invites important business partners there to relax and treat them. Every time they come back, he shares all the good things about it with Xie Xingyun.”
"...What kind of father is this?" Chu Xu couldn't stand it anymore.
Changing the subject, Chu Xu asked again, "Has Xie Xingyun been there?"
Although Gu Huaizhou didn't say anything, his ears were perked up.
Li Xi pursed her lips, "How would I know? Maybe he went? But he's always been good at keeping secrets, even if he did go, he would have kept it from me."
However, Li Xi felt that Xie Xingyun must have been there.
Having spent so much time in the business world, it's easy for him to pick up bad habits. Besides, they've been dating for years without ever sleeping together. Is it really because Xie Xingyun respects and pampers her?
I'm afraid she ate outside.
But none of that matters anymore. She and Xie Xingyun had long since ended their relationship. Now, Xie Xingyun had been taken abroad by Jiang Qingkong, and he would spend the rest of his life making a living under Jiang Qingkong's control.
Just thinking about it made Li Xi feel completely comfortable.
"arrive."
After parking the car, Chu Xu turned around and instructed Gu Huaizhou, "Boss, you and Miss Li wait here for a while, I'll go up first."
Chu Xu entered the Nightless Club through the main entrance and went straight to the fourth floor to find the club's general manager, Du Yang: "Mr. Du, it's been a long time."
Chu Xu took out a pack of "Nine-Five Supreme" cigarettes from his bag and handed it to Du Yang.
Chu Xu always came to keep watch for his master. Du Yang took the pack of cigarettes with both hands and asked Chu Xu with a smile, "Brother Xu, is someone in trouble this time?"
"Brother Xu, could you please take him away and keep him safe? Please do me a favor and don't let blood stain this place."
"We just replaced a batch of sofas at our club."
"Definitely." Chu Xu was always easy to talk to.
Upon hearing this, Du Yang's expression softened.
"Mr. Du, my boss is coming up to meet a friend. Please ask that these girls in white skirts in the lobby leave for a moment."
Du Yang was shocked. "Brother Xu's boss... Mr. Gu?"
Who doesn't know that Chu Xu's boss is Gu Huaizhou, who lives on Wuyai Island?
Chu Xu simply smiled and did not deny it.
Du Yang immediately replied, "Don't worry, Brother Xu, I'll tell them to go back to the lounge to rest." After thinking for a moment, Du Yang added, "How about this, I'll just let all the employees go and rest, and I'll personally entertain Mr. Gu."
"Then it'll be hard work."

On the fourth floor, on the east side, in a luxurious private room near the public restroom.
Emperor Liu was completely drunk. He leaned weakly against the sofa, his left arm around a voluptuous beauty and his right arm around a slender man.
If you look closely, you can see that the man's facial features are about 50-60% similar to Zhou Qi's.
But compared to Zhou Qi's physique, this man was much more slender. He had thin shoulders, long, thin legs, and a delicate, almost feminine appearance.
After all, boys with Zhou Qi's looks and physique are rare, and even rarer in their circle.
The first time Liu Huang saw Zhou Qi, she developed feelings for him.
Zhou Qi possessed a clean and stubborn quality, a rarity among boys around Liu Huang. He had genuinely developed feelings for Zhou Qi.
Unfortunately, Zhou Qi is a very straight man.
No matter how much he flaunted his feelings, Zhou Qi couldn't perceive his true intentions.
That day, he called Zhou Qi to ask her to go out for karaoke, but Zhou Qi said she had to go to the movies with a friend after work.
Upon inquiring, Liu Huang learned that the other party was a young, single woman. She was immediately enraged and, unable to restrain herself, resorted to despicable means against Zhou Qi.
But Zhou Qi was indeed fierce enough to dare smash a bottle over his head...
He stayed in the hospital for several days and was not discharged until the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.
The thought of Zhou Qi and his ruthless fierceness, coupled with the sight of the obedient child beside him, made Liu Huang feel utterly bored.
"All go out."
Zhou Qi turned ruthless, frightening the young man so much that he quickly got up and left.
"You go out too." This was said to the beautiful woman on the right.
The beauty dared not anger Emperor Liu, so she left.
This Mr. Liu is a regular at their club, and she can't afford to offend him.
"Brother, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?" A young man wearing an expensive watch and AJ sneakers walked up to Liu Huang and sat down next to him, pouring him a glass of wine in a flattering manner.
"Brother, have a drink."
Liu Huang shook his head, "I'm not drinking anymore, my head hurts."
He touched the scabbed wound on his head and suddenly cursed viciously, "You bastard!"
The guy in the AJ asked, "Are you still angry about Zhou Qi? Did you use the advice I gave you last time?"
"You mean the idea of sending a threatening letter in blood to his house?"
"correct."
"Heh." Liu Huang snorted coldly, saying irritably, "Zhou Qi's parents got the letter. His father rushed to Dongzhou City overnight. I had someone beat him up; originally, I wanted to break his leg to force Zhou Qi..."
"But those things were useless; they were discovered and even sent to the hospital."
Upon hearing this, AJ clicked his tongue in amazement. "Zhou Qi is really a tough nut to crack. It's his good fortune to be favored by the Emperor. What is he thinking?"
"He's just a young man from a small town. Without any powerful connections, the best he can hope for in his life is to become a hotel manager. How could he possibly be better off working for you?"
Liu Huang felt a deep empathy, "Yes, if he were willing to be with me, I'd buy him a car, a house, a job, whatever he wanted, I'd give him..."
Why do you think he's unwilling?
Just as AJ was about to chime in, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, followed by a clear voice: "Why doesn't he want to? Because you're fat, ugly, short, and pretentious."
"who!"
Liu Huang and the AJ man were so shocked that their expressions changed, and they both looked up towards the outside of the private room.
Upon seeing the stunningly beautiful young woman standing in front of the private room, her face expressionless, AJ didn't recognize her. However, Liu Huang asked in surprise, "You are... Li Xi?"
Li Xi crossed his arms and walked into the private room. Standing in front of the large table, he bent down and leisurely sized up Liu Huang before asking, "Do we know each other?"
Liu Huang couldn't help but sneer, "Aren't you Zhou Qi's childhood sweetheart? I saw you on his WeChat Moments."
"What? That coward Zhou Qi doesn't dare to come see me, so he actually sent you to negotiate with me?"
After saying that, Liu Huang's lewd gaze traveled down Li Xi's pretty face, then fixed on her eyes, and he smiled with satisfaction.
"If you're willing to sleep with me in place of Zhou Qi and make me comfortable, I won't bother Zhou Qi anymore."
"How about it, do you want to try it?"
how about it?
"Liu Er." A cold, icy male voice came from outside. Emperor Liu frowned and glanced at it impatiently.
Upon seeing this, Liu Huang was as if struck by lightning, sitting stiffly on the sofa like a corpse.
“Gu…”
"Gu Huaizhou!"
Upon hearing the name, the fierce look on AJ's face immediately vanished, replaced by fear and confusion.
What's Gu Huaizhou doing here?
When did Liu Huang offend Gu Huaizhou, this great Buddha?
Standing beside Li Xi, Gu Huaizhou stared disdainfully at Liu Huang and said very seriously, "Since you want to sleep with someone so much, I will grant your wish tonight and be a good person."
"Chu Xu".
"Take Mr. Liu to the outer hall and let him enjoy the surprise we have prepared for him."
"Yes!" Chu Xu immediately helped Liu Huang out of the private room.
Dragged out of the private room, Liu Huang realized that there was no one in the corridor of the 4th-floor club! The doors of the private rooms on both sides were wide open, and there was no one inside!
But there were clearly drinks and fruit on the tables in those private rooms.
The area has been cleared out!
Liu Huang was led by Chu Xu to the lobby on the 4th floor, which was an open rest area where the female models waited for their numbers to be called during their shifts.
Right now, the hall was packed with people, all of them customers who had come to make a purchase.
In the middle of the hall stood an obese man, weighing at least 300 pounds. He wore a black mask to cover his face and was only wearing underwear.
Liu Huang was pushed by Chu Xu to the side of the fat man.
Liu Huang bumped into the other person's large belly and was bounced away.
Unlike Liu Huang, whose figure was bloated and hollowed out by wine and women, the fat man next to him was truly obese, with several layers of fat on his belly.
Liu Huang was so frightened that he was like a little quail, his legs were trembling.
Gu Huaizhou stood in front of Li Xi, perfectly concealing her appearance behind his shoulders.
With an expressionless face, Gu Huaizhou clapped his hands lightly as he stared at Liu Huang in the arena, drawing the attention of all the customers.
"Everyone."
"The gentleman before you is Liu Huang, the son of General Manager Liu of the Donghuang Star Hotel. Ten days ago, this Mr. Liu Huang attempted to drug and rape a company employee, and today he made frivolous remarks to my beloved..."
"Since Mr. Liu enjoys doing that kind of thing so much, why don't you show us your prowess right here and now?"
"Mr. Liu, please rest assured, the gentleman in front of you is a male masseur I specially arranged to be found for you from the island nation. He is very experienced and will definitely not hurt you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Huang was so terrified that she collapsed to the ground.
Manager Du and the others looked at each other, but no one dared to stand up for Liu Huang and beg for mercy, nor was anyone willing to stand up for such a good-for-nothing.
This Liu Huang is notorious. The things he did are unknown to outsiders, but have been widely known within his circle.
It's a blessing that he's met his match with Gu Huaizhou today.
Gu Huaizhou turned around and blocked Li Xi's eyes, afraid that Li Xi would see something unclean.
"Chu Xu, start the timer."
Chu Xu and Gu Huaizhou worked together, with Chu Xu asking, "How long will the countdown last?"
Staring coldly at Liu Huang, who was trembling with fear on the ground, Gu Huaizhou said considerately, "Since Mr. Liu's desire is so strong, let's time him for an hour."
"Mr. Liu, please enjoy your time of pleasure from now on."
After saying that, Gu Huaizhou led Li Xi away from the hall.
The next second, all eyes turned to Liu Huang.
Chu Xu had someone deliver brand-new condoms to Liu Huang and the male technician. He then sat down on the sofa with an air of nonchalance and turned on his phone timer: "Get ready, Mr. Liu!"
"Wow!"
Liu Huang suddenly burst into tears, pleading at the top of his lungs, "President Gu, I was wrong! I shouldn't have drugged Zhou Qi and tried to assault him!"
"I shouldn't have offended Miss Li with my words!"
After speaking, Liu Huang saw that Chu Xu remained motionless, clearly dissatisfied with his performance. His eyes darted around before he steeled himself and continued to beg for mercy: "I shouldn't have had someone injure Zhou Qi's father, trying to control him by threatening his family..."
Upon hearing this, the onlookers all frowned.
There was an uproar at the scene.
Chu Xu then smiled slightly and praised, "Mr. Liu is truly the most cowardly person I have ever met."
