Zhonghai City, Jiangtan Street.
As dusk slowly fell, Jiangtan Street began to bustle with the most vibrant time of the day.
Countless brilliant neon lights started sparkling along Jiangtan Street. It was the most bustling street in Zhonghai City at night, lined with bars, KTVs, hotels, and nightclubs, one after another. Every evening, as night enveloped the area, crowds of scantily clad men and women roamed the streets, carefree and energetic in the prime of their youth.
Approaching eight in the evening, on the road of Jiangtan Street, a gang of rowdy twenty-something lads appeared, all wearing uniform studded jeans and plaid shirts, swaggering along with an unmistakable degree of arrogance.
On their exposed necks and chests, numerous blue and colorful tattoos could be seen. Each of them had a Furong Wang cigarette, costing more than twenty yuan per pack, in their mouths. As they walked, they created clouds of smoke, occasionally letting out an exaggerated whistle at any pretty girl passing by, then shamelessly asking for her WeChat with beaming smiles.
Regulars of Jiangtan Street generally recognized this group. The leader, known as Triangle Tiger, had three scars on his head and had adopted the name to bolster his image and to give off an imposing presence.
These tattooed youths, who didn’t exactly look like upstanding citizens, were none other than Triangle Tiger’s entourage, his underlings.
“Bro Tiger, where are we going for a good time tonight? I heard that Night Castle has a bunch of hot new chicks recently. Why don’t you take us there for some fun?” A ruffian with a head of purple hair said to Tiger with scars on his face.
“Dammit, Yellow Hair, are you asking to die? I worked my ass off today to earn fifty grand. If you handful of hormone-fueled youths go to Night Castle, that fifty grand will go down the drain. I might even have to cough up extra. No way, we’re not going.” Triangle Tiger, who was embracing a heavily made-up woman, scolded Yellow Hair.
“Bro Tiger, look at you snugly holding your lady, so carefree. You’ll get to enjoy a cozy twosome tonight. Look at us, we haven’t had any action for days. What if we get frustrated and something bad happens?” Another rascal said to Triangle Tiger jokingly.
“Piss off. Today, I’m only treating you guys to dinner. As for getting girls, whoever’s got the balls, go find one yourselves. College girls these days are pretty liberal. Just hit up any bar, and you might hook up without having to go to that money pit, Night Castle. If you manage to score on your own, I’ll reimburse you guys for the hotel costs,” Triangle Tiger replied while cuddling the voluptuous woman next to him.
A few hooligans with girlfriends suddenly lit up with excitement, and the others who didn’t have any starts brazenly scanning the street for potential targets.
“Bro Tiger, it’s our first time pushing stuff, and we earned fifty grand. We can’t possibly still be going to Old Zhang’s for beer and skewers, can we?” a ruffian asked Triangle Tiger.
“Haha, of course we can’t just go to some roadside stall anymore. My business is picking up, so today I’m going to treat you guys to something good. You’ll taste what the Zhonghai aristocrats enjoy,” Triangle Tiger said while holding the flashy woman beside him, full of pride.
“Aristocrat’s enjoyment? Bro Tiger, where exactly are you taking us to eat?” the gang of ruffians asked curiously.
“Aristocrats, aristocrats… it has to be expensive to be considered aristocratic. Today, I’m taking you to The Grand Qin Hotel for dinner,” Triangle Tiger declared confidently to his underlings.
“What? The Grand Qin Hotel?”
“Damn, the most expensive hotel in Zhonghai?”
“The legendary Grand Qin Hotel where a banquet costs tens of thousands?”
“Bro Tiger is awesome!”
Upon hearing that Tiger was taking them to The Grand Qin Hotel, the underlings all praised him enthusiastically.
The Grand Qin Hotel was the most famous restaurant enterprise in Zhonghai City, where many high-ranking officials and nobles held banquets. A single meal here would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan, and ordinary people didn’t even qualify to set foot inside.
Today, Tiger intended to take his gang of underlings to experience the high-end service of The Grand Qin Hotel to motivate them and show them the benefits of following him.
“When we get to The Grand Qin Hotel, you all better behave. It’s owned by the Qin Family, and we absolutely cannot afford to mess with them. Also, the diners inside are all important figures, so don’t mess with someone you shouldn’t!” Tiger once again admonished his followers, not completely at ease.
“No problem, I’m the most civilized,” one of them asserted.
“Brother Tiger said that’s right, dammit, I definitely won’t swear once I’m inside.”
“Damn, a meal that costs ten grand a table, I’ve never had that in my life, gotta be devout.”
The underlings all assured Brother Tiger, and in no time, Brother Tiger led his underlings to the entrance of The Grand Qin Hotel.
Just as Brother Tiger, with the scantily clad woman in tow, was about to enter, a security guard at the hotel entrance reached out to stop them.
“Sir, please present your invitation,” the security guard said with a cocky air.
Even though Brother Tiger was a small-time gangster with some fame on Jiangtan Street, The Grand Qin Hotel’s influence was countless times greater than his, and he didn’t dare to provoke them. He said seriously, “We’re here to eat, not to attend a banquet; we don’t have invitations.”
“Without an invitation, I cannot let you through,” the security guard said sternly to Brother Tiger.
“Fuck off, I’ve got money, why can’t we go in and eat, what’s with needing an invite just to get in,” Brother Tiger, after all a troublemaker, said somewhat in a fit of anger.
“I’m sorry, sir, but the Grand Qin Hotel has been reserved by our Young Master Qin for a charity auction today, and all regular dining activities have been canceled. If you’d like to eat, please come back tomorrow,” the security guard said indifferently to Brother Tiger.
“So it’s Young Master Qin Haowen,” a hint of fear flashed across Brother Tiger’s face. There was only one Young Master Qin at The Grand Qin Hotel, and that was Qin Haowen of the Qin Corporation, a big shot with unimaginable power. A small-time thug like Brother Tiger couldn’t afford to mess with him.
Therefore, Brother Tiger turned around and said to his underlings, “Brothers, The Grand Qin Hotel isn’t available today, let’s not eat here. Today it’s beer and skewers, then straight to Night Castle to let you guys have some real fun.”
“Wow, forget beer and skewers, let’s head straight to Night Castle!”
“Haha, Yellow Hair, with your scrawny stature, you should eat a couple of skewered kidneys and two plates of grilled leeks to build you up before you go into battle,” someone teased.
“Fuck off, I might be skinny, but I’m known as Zhonghai’s number one pile-driver, who needs a fucking pair of kidneys and leeks.”
“Yellow Hair, did you forget how you came out after just three minutes last time?”
“I was freaked out by the look of that girl after she took off her makeup!”
A group of small-time gangsters, having been turned away by The Grand Qin Hotel, weren’t angry at all, instead, their interest was piqued by Brother Tiger’s mention of Night Castle.
Just then, a white BMW slowly pulled up to the entrance of The Grand Qin Hotel.
Two stunningly beautiful women stepped out of the car gracefully.
As if under a spell, the gang of thugs watched the two beauties present a red invitation to the security guard and then walked elegantly into the hotel.
It was only after the women’s figures had disappeared that the gang slowly came back to their senses.
“Fuck me, it’s like goddesses descended to earth, too beautiful!”
“Dammit, if I had a chick that hot, I’d be willing to live ten years less!”
“I can’t take it, I’m going to Night Castle now, I’m on fire inside!”
