That day, while I was immersed in studying the AI ​​face-changing system, the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

The caller ID showed that it was the mysterious "Maoli".

I hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone.

"Hey, Mr. Yang." Mao Li's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone, "How have you been lately?"

"Thanks to you, everything is fine." I said politely, "You didn't call me just to say hello, right?"

Mao Li's silvery laughter came from the receiver: "Mr. Yang is indeed a smart man. Let me get straight to the point. There is a 'party' next weekend. I wonder if you are interested in coming again?"

I frowned, the sensual feast last time was still fresh in my mind: "I'm sorry, Miss Maoli. I really have no interest in that kind of party."

"Really?" Mao Li said meaningfully, "But this time, maybe you will be interested. Don't you...don't you want to know who is the person behind Aqiang?"

I frowned!

The person behind Aqiang?

This is the secret of the Phoenix Park. Even we can’t find the mastermind behind it. We didn’t expect to get clues from Mao Li!

"You mean..."

"How about it, are you interested now?" Mao Li said with a smile, "Next Saturday at eight o'clock in the evening, this party will be a 'Royal Garden Party'."

After that, she hung up the phone neatly.

I was left alone in the office, so excited that I couldn't calm down for a long time.

A week later, when I drove to the dock, night had fallen.

The sea breeze is biting and carries the salty and wet breath, making people shiver slightly.

Next to the pier, a lone street lamp cast a dim light, illuminating a small area.

Outside the circle of light, the darkness was so thick that it seemed to be swallowing people up.

"Mr. Yang, you're here." A familiar voice sounded from behind.

I turned around and saw Mao Li walking towards me, wearing a long black velvet dress, her slim figure looming.

There is an exquisite black velvet mask on his face, which adds a bit of mystery and temptation.

"Come with me." She smiled at me, turned around and walked towards the depths of the pier.

I followed closely and walked through the maze of containers until I came to a hidden corner.

"Change your clothes first." Mao Li opened the door of a container and made a "please" gesture.

The box was brightly lit, and all kinds of fine clothes were hung on the walls.

From the ceremonial gowns of medieval aristocrats to the tuxedos of the Victorian era, everything is available, all exquisite and luxurious.

"Well, don't forget the mask." Maoli handed me a simple white mask, "Tonight, no one needs to reveal their identity."

I nodded knowingly, quickly picked out a black dress, put on my mask, and put on my mask.

When I stepped out of the container again, Mauli was already waiting outside.

She looked me up and down and nodded approvingly: "Yes, I match you very well. Now, let's go meet those 'interesting' people."

As she spoke, she took the lead towards a warehouse in the distance.

From far away, you can hear the deafening music and noisy voices.

Pushing open the door of the warehouse, the sight before me was jaw-dropping.

I saw that the huge space was arranged like a palace hall, and the crystal chandelier illuminated everything brightly.

The surrounding walls are hung with famous calligraphy and paintings, and the marble floor is covered with thick Persian carpets.

In the middle of the hall, a huge glass box was suspended in the air.

Sitting in the box was a blonde girl wearing sexy lingerie, twisting her body enchantingly and ogling the guests below.

"What is this?" I swallowed involuntarily.

"How about it? It's exciting, isn't it?" Maoli glanced at me teasingly, "This is our 'appetizer'. Later, you will see more exciting ones."

Looking around, the guests, all wearing various masks, gathered together in small groups, whispering, chatting and laughing.

From their dress, conversation and behavior, it is not difficult to tell that they are all celebrities from the upper class.

And around them, there are often one or two young girls wearing scantily clad clothes, smiling coquettishly, as if they were intimate.

"Maoli, I really don't understand..." I frowned, "Aren't they tired of this kind of sensual play?"

"Just get used to it." Mao Li smiled mysteriously, "Who in this circle is not acting with a mask? They are eager for excitement and challenge the bottom line of morality and law. This kind of gathering is just another way for them to vent. "

I shook my head, disagreeing with this way of life.

But my goal tonight is not to judge.

"By the way, the person you mentioned before..." I asked in a low voice.

"Oh, I almost forgot about the business." Mao Li slapped her forehead, took out a mobile phone from her handbag and gave it to me, "Take it, he will contact you later. Just follow the address and go there."

I took the phone in confusion: "That's it? What if something unexpected happens..."

"Don't worry." Maoli patted my shoulder gently with her fan, "Here, you are my guest. No one dares to do anything to you. But..."

She suddenly came close to my ear and whispered: "Be careful. After all, this place is no better than outside. You'd better not cause trouble."

I understood and nodded solemnly.

At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

It was a text message with a simple one-line address.

I winked at Maoli and walked quickly towards the container.

Behind him, the noisy voices and music gradually faded away, turning into a blurry background.

After passing through the layers of containers, I came to a remote corner.

According to the address on the text message, the dilapidated red container in front of me was the place where I met the mysterious man.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

Under the hazy moonlight, the container was stained with rust and gave off an old atmosphere.

I knocked on the box door, and the thumping sound was extremely abrupt in the silent night.

"Come in." A deep voice came from inside.

I pushed open the squeaky box door, and a musty smell hit my face.

Through the dim light of the mobile phone screen, I saw a tall black figure leaning in the corner.

"You just want to find me?" the black shadow spoke, his voice low and hard to distinguish.

I nodded and tried to sound calm: "Are you the person behind Aqiang?"

The man didn't answer directly, but just smiled coldly: "You have something to say!"

I frowned and said, "Did you sell Hongsheng's technology to Phoenix Park?"

"Sell?" Black Shadow laughed sarcastically, "Why should I sell? I just rented out my dock for them to contact. If the technology is stolen, that is Hongsheng's own problem. You can't blame me."

"You!" I gritted my teeth.

"Come on, kid." The man said leisurely, "Business is business, don't get personal grudges involved. If you ask me, the people in Phoenix Park are no worse than you, Hongsheng. You fight back and forth, but in the end it doesn't matter. Or is it for profit? I don’t care who wins or loses.”

I took a deep breath and suppressed my anger: "So, who is the boss behind the Phoenix Park?"

The black shadow pondered for a moment and said meaningfully: "Want to know? It's not impossible. But, there is no free lunch in the world. You have to come up with enough chips and we will discuss the deal."

"for example?"

"There's no rush." ​​The man smiled frivolously, "I know you are a smart man. You can judge whether this deal is worth it. If you have figured it out, just come to me. In this circle, be careful. is the word 'profit', do you understand?"

After that, he waved his hand gracefully, strode out of the container, and quickly disappeared into the night.

I was left standing there alone, my mind a mess.

The mysterious man behind Aqiang is just a middleman in the final analysis.

The Phoenix Park paid for his information, and he was happy to take advantage of both sides.

I gathered my thoughts and quickly walked out of the container.

The night breeze blew away some of my depression.

I strolled towards the brightly lit warehouse.

In the distance, the singing and laughter are still there, and the people are drinking and drinking.

In this luxuriant place, among this group of masked people, no one cares about a passer-by.
