A rapid ring rang out.

The landline phone was right next to Zhou Ceyan.

As if he was unaware of Lu Qiongqi's vicious gaze, he calmly picked up the phone and put it to his ear. The hand holding the phone was long and strong, with distinct joints.

Lu Qiongqi thought about what good things this hand had done last night...

Her ears moved unnaturally and she lowered her head to look at the geometric patterns on the carpet.

Not knowing what the person on the phone said, Zhou Ceyan looked at Lu Qiongqi.

The voice was very cold: "Looking for you."

"Find me?"

Lu Qiongqi walked around the coffee table, went to the sofa opposite, and asked in confusion: "Who is it?"

Zhou Ceyan looked at her with an indescribable dark emotion in his eyes.

He said calmly, "Master Bai."

Who?

Lu Qiongqi's eyes rolled around quickly. Where did Young Master Bai come from? She didn't know anyone with the last name Bai.

She picked up the phone warily, wondering if it was a scam.

"Which one?"

"Master, it's me."

Lu Qiongqi:......

The voice and name are familiar.

The young master of the White Horse Club, referred to as Master Bai, is very good at adapting to changing circumstances.

Zhou Ceyan looked up and obviously heard the man on the phone call Lu Qiongqi.

She held the phone, turned her back, and avoided Zhou Ceyan's thoughtful gaze.

Tingfeng arrived at the White Horse Club early in the morning.

Logically speaking, people in this line of work have a very shady schedule, and they don't get ready for work until after 4 p.m., so they should get a good night's sleep in the morning.

But Lu Qiongqi really gave too much. Since he had taken the money, he had to get the job done.

Tingfeng completed the task assigned to him by the daughter of a wealthy family.

So, he shouted excitedly on the phone: "Master! You came yesterday, but we didn't get our job done. Come again today, and I will make sure you'll be satisfied."

Hearing Tingfeng say that the matter had been settled, Lu Qiongqi's expression relaxed and his brows were filled with joy.

"Okay, I'll be there soon, wait for me over there."

She turned her head, wanting to find someone to share her joy with, but as soon as her eyes touched the corner of Zhou Ceyan's clothes, she quickly braked.

In the eyes of men, this is a sign of guilty conscience.

The two chatted for a few more words, and after hanging up the phone, Lu Qiongqi wanted to go upstairs directly to change clothes and get to the club early.

She didn't expect that he would complete the task so quickly last night. He is a smart man.

Lu Qiongqi thought so and completely ignored the person who was staring at her on the sofa.

"Where are you going?"

Zhou Ceyan suddenly spoke, his expression even colder than his voice.

When Lu Qiongqi heard him asking about her whereabouts, she was still hesitating in her mind whether to explain or not, but her mouth had already opened to answer.

"I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."

Zhou Ceyan sat on the sofa, with a stern look on his face, and pointed out where she was going.

"You are going to the White Horse Club." It was said in an affirmative tone, not in a questioning tone.

I didn't expect that his guess was so accurate, but Lu Qiongqi didn't intend to admit it.

Lu Zhanyan was still unaware that she had been hired as a criminal investigation consultant for the police station.

If the eldest brother knew about this, he would definitely think that this position is dangerous. Also, considering her health, he would most likely not allow her to continue.

If Zhou Ceyan knew, it would be the same as Lu Zhanyan knowing.

Lu Qiongqi made up his mind and said confidently, "Who said I was going to the White Horse Club?"

As long as he has no evidence, she can deny it.

Zhou Ceyan lightly tapped the caller ID and said directly: "This phone number is the front desk number of the club."

The evidence came quickly, and Lu Qiongqi was not panicked. He asked him: "How do you know this is the club's number? Have you been there?"

"I haven't been there, but I know where you went last night."

"You spy on me?"

"No, someone saw you coming out of the White Horse Club last night, and you ran into Wei Lin and were pestered by him. That person sent me a message specifically."

Lu Qiongqi thought about it carefully.

It should be the male waiter. He is quite nice.

She answered herself: "I should thank him very much."

Zhou Ceyan's brows turned completely cold, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Lu Qiongqi's wrist.

"Which young master have you fallen for that makes you so obsessed with him? You almost got into trouble yesterday, and you went over again as soon as he called you."

Lu Qiongqi wanted to go over quickly, but she didn't notice the jealous tone in the man's words.

She explained: "I just have something to do and need to go over there."

Zhou Ceyan: "What did you do in the past? Continue doing what you didn't finish yesterday?"

Lu Qiongqi thought about it and felt that this was correct, so she nodded.

Zhou Ceyan let go of her hand and was so angry that he didn't want to pay any attention to her.

But after the little girl took two steps, he changed his mind, stood up and pulled her into his arms.

Lu Qiongqi let out a small cry of surprise, for she was afraid of waking up Lu Zhanyan, which would be bad if the secret was exposed.

She whispered in a suppressed voice: "What are you doing? Let go quickly. If someone sees us pulling and tugging, what should we do?"

The marks on his shoulders and neck were still clearly visible, but Lu Qiongqi was determined to draw a clear line between them.

She wants to throw it away after use. Such a heartless girl is rare. There is only one like her in Yongcheng.

Zhou Ceyan forced out a cold laugh: "If I remember correctly, we have done things that are a hundred times more excessive than pulling."

Lu Qiongqi glared at him and threatened him: "The midnight show where you can do whatever you want is over. Now it's bright and clear in broad daylight. Please be a civilized adult."

"Really? Then why are you going to the White Horse Club in broad daylight?"

"Get down to business." Lu Qiongqi blinked and suddenly understood why Commander Zhou was so angry.

She vowed, "I will only do the midnight show with you."

After all, as an elegant ancient mythical beast with noble moral principles, not just any male can catch her eye.

Only with him?

Zhou Ceyan looked into her clear eyes and his mood suddenly brightened up.

----

Lu Qiongqi changed her clothes, went downstairs and coaxed Zhou Ceyan with a few words, then asked the housekeeper to drive her out.

But she didn't say she wanted to go to the White Horse Club, for fear of scaring this upright old man. She just said they should stop at the shopping mall on the street and she would go down to take a look.

Lu Qiongqi walked into the door of the White Horse Club.

Tingfeng and the waiter were already in the hall, chatting with each other.

Seeing her come in, the waiter walked over elegantly and quickly: "Master, you are here."

The waiter was relieved to see that she looked refreshed and didn't look like she had been bullied last night.

There were more important things to do at the moment, so Lu Qiongqi just nodded and smiled, then followed Tingfeng upstairs.

Ting Feng took credit and said, "I have already arranged everything. The boss is already in the inner room of the Chanyi Pavilion, waiting for you."

The boss behind the White Horse Club rarely comes in and out of the club. Unless something big happens, it is difficult to meet this person.

In the case of Ruan Tingyu and Li Rongze, this aromatherapy is the key clue to solving the case.

Lu Qiongqi really wanted to know who had used this secret aromatherapy. So, yesterday in the private room, she asked Tingfeng to find a connection and help her contact the boss.

Tingfeng stopped at the door of Chanyi Pavilion and whispered, "I'll wait for you at the door. Ordinary employees like us are not allowed to go into the inner room."
