Chapter 666: Chapter 423: Horror! [Two-in-One, Please Vote!]

"Alright."

Manager Sun nodded.

However, the answer he provided... made Xu Liang’s heart leap!

"Official orders," Manager Sun stated truthfully.

Xu Liang’s heart was startled, as if a hand had gripped it, then he suddenly raised his head.

He stared at Manager Sun for a moment, yet the other didn’t notice anything amiss and continued:

"After the Zhao Jie case happened, the authorities began a thorough investigation of all KTVs in Upper City."

"Especially ’Drunken Ecstasy.’

Saying this, Manager Sun waved his hand, sighed, and said:

"Drunken Ecstasy was inspected very thoroughly, and many hostess girls were detained for a short period. Forced by circumstances, the owner had to replace everyone, including the former manager."

In other words, it really was...

The official orders that led to the personnel changes at Drunken Ecstasy!

But...

Thinking more deeply....

Li Tao behind felt his scalp tingle, a swift sense of crisis gnawed at him, making him want to run.

Li Tao just felt as if he had been dragged into something serious, he swallowed, looking up at Xu Liang, waiting for his move.

"Alright, thank you for your trouble."

Xu Liang took a deep breath, maintaining basic politeness.

"You’re welcome," Manager Sun hurriedly replied.

"If we have any further questions... we might come to you again. For now, we’ll leave."

With those words. ℴ

Xu Liang led Yang Ruoxi and Li Tao outside.

Watching the three leave, Manager Sun also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Creak~"

The KTV’s door swung open.

The November wind wasn’t refreshing; instead, it felt like knives scraping across their faces.

The three stood at the doorway, not speaking.

Yang Ruoxi’s eyes showed a hint of confusion, a bit at a loss, while Li Tao swallowed, his heart pounding.

Xu Liang’s silhouette was silent.

Until...

"Buzz buzz~"

Suddenly, a vibration came from his chest.

Xu Liang paused, instinctively pulling out his phone.

’At this time, who’s calling me...’

He thought truthfully, but after pulling out his phone, he found... it wasn’t a call.

It was a text message!

"A text, who’s sending me this?"

Xu Liang frowned, noticing it was from an unfamiliar number.

But when he clicked to view the message...

Xu Liang’s pupils suddenly constricted!

[15xxxxxx:

Lawyer Xu, hello, at eleven-thirty in the morning, in the Upper City ’Corner Cafe’, you exchanged details of the ’Zhao Jie case’ with Law Association staff Liu Qing. At two-thirty in the afternoon, you entered the Upper City Police Bureau for case investigation.]

[During which, you communicated with Officer Wang, badge number: xxxxx.]

[At two-thirty-four, you saw ’Zhao Jie,’ the content of your conversation with him was: ’Brother Liang, this is....’]

[After.]

[At seven-thirty in the evening, you entered the Drunken Ecstasy KTV for investigation, your conversation with the other party was: ’Lawyer Xu Liang’....]

This is...

The entire conversation!?

How could it be?

How could this be possible!?

Inside the police station, only the three of us and Wang Chao, plus Zhao Jie, how could the other party know all the conversation content?

That’s the police station, Upper City’s Police Bureau!!!

In just a moment.

Xu Liang’s expression drastically changed, his face turned pale, he raised his head, looking around, his eyes sharp like an eagle’s.

He looked for a long time.

Passersby, phone callers, smokers, drunks, young people...

All seemed alright.

"What’s wrong?"

Yang Ruoxi and Li Tao behind him noticed his tension, asking in confusion.

"Nothing."

Xu Liang suppressed his wild heartbeat, lowered his head, glanced at the phone.

"Dingdong~"

The next second, another message appeared on his phone.

[15xxxx:

Don’t bother looking.]

[I’m not here.]
