88: This Is My Turf!

The pot-bellied man immediately bellowed for the waiter standing outside to come in, raising a ruckus.

The waiter repeatedly apologized, but the big-bellied man roared, "Even if this is Boss Wan’s establishment, you can't rip us off like this! Go get more of the product over here, money's not an issue!"

The waiter's expression was a little helpless. He could only agree, then quickly left the private room.

In another luxurious private room, the waiter approached a blonde man sipping beer on a sofa and said, "Jin, Boss Cheng and his party are complaining we didn't give them enough supply. They're urging for more!"

The blonde man clicked his tongue. "Go tell them the supply has been tight lately. Ask them to wait a bit, new product will be in soon."

"Yes!" The waiter nodded and retreated.

The blonde man, feeling a bit agitated, also stood up and took the elevator to the innermost suite on the top floor.

*Thump, thump, thump!* He knocked on the suite door.

"Brother Tianpeng, it's me, A-Jin!" the blonde man said respectfully.

"Come in!" a cool, detached voice echoed from within.

The blonde man entered to find a stern-faced middle-aged man on the sofa, with a glamorous woman draped beside him. The man swirled the red wine in his goblet and asked, "What's wrong? Trouble at the establishment?"

The middle-aged man speaking was Wan Tianpeng, the owner of this Jinding Entertainment City. It was worth noting that just last month, Wan Tianpeng had been the fourth-in-command of the Hualong Gang (a prominent underworld syndicate).

Of course, that was last month's news. Wan Tianpeng was the instigator of the Hualong Gang's internal strife. Now, he had broken away from the Hualong Gang, and this Jinding Entertainment City was the venture he had established independently after his departure.

"No trouble at the establishment, it's just..." The blonde man glanced at the woman beside Wan Tianpeng.

Wan Tianpeng patted the woman's rear. "You can leave for now."

"Yes, Brother Tianpeng!" The woman obediently walked out the door.

The blonde man closed the door and turned to Wan Tianpeng. "Brother Tianpeng, our stock is almost depleted. The supply these past few days has been too scarce, making many clients unhappy. If we don't get more product soon, we might lose a lot of clients!"

"If the supply isn't enough, they'll just have to wait! Damn it, that scoundrel Yuan Ye has already colluded with the suppliers, and now they won't give me the contraband. I'll have to source it from elsewhere; let's wait a few days and see." Wan Tianpeng's face was grim.

Ever since he broke away from the Hualong Gang, Yuan Ye, the leader of the Hualong Gang, had been targeting him relentlessly.

Now there was no supply, and in a few days, Yuan Ye would probably start directly sabotaging his establishment.

Wan Tianpeng was furious, but unfortunately, he didn't have as many connections as Yuan Ye. He had hoped to win over Li Fei, the Hualong Gang's third-in-command, as Li Fei was the smartest and would surely have a way to help him deal with Yuan Ye.

But no matter what favorable terms he offered, Li Fei adamantly refused to join him, which greatly frustrated Wan Tianpeng.

"Alright, I'll tell the current clients to wait," the blonde man quickly said.

"Go ahead and give them some of the remaining stock," Wan Tianpeng waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Shen Yifei languidly lounged in his seat, while Su Muqing and Liu Xiaoxiao once again delved into business matters.

A short while later, the dishes arrived, quite swiftly. It had to be said that the kitchen was highly efficient; places like this were sure to have returning customers.

The two women were just about to eat.

Suddenly, the wail of police sirens pierced the air outside the entertainment city.

A group of police officers, some twenty of them, stormed into the entertainment city.

The diners were startled. Why were the police here?

Shen Yifei also paused. Why was Bai Qingyu here again?

The curvaceous female police officer leading the group was indeed Bai Qingyu, followed by many detectives.

*I remember Bai Qingyu saying she was coming here for official business. Could it be related to this entertainment city?* Shen Yifei mused inwardly.

Bai Qingyu didn't notice Shen Yifei's table in the corner.

She had received a tip-off that a shipment of narcotics had been transported to this Jinding Entertainment City last week.

The tip-off caught Bai Qingyu's attention. Leveraging police resources, Bai Qingyu quickly investigated the influential figure behind this entertainment city, and the results somewhat shocked her.

This Jinding Entertainment City was actually an enterprise under Wan Tianpeng, the fourth-in-command of the Hualong Gang.

The Hualong Gang was considered a long-established underground force in Huahai City.

Bai Qingyu deemed the tip-off credible and immediately brought a large number of police officers to raid Jinding Entertainment City.

Several suit-clad bodyguards immediately stepped forward. The lobby manager, who was at the forefront, shouted, "What are you police officers doing here? Are you here to disrupt our business?"

"Have your person-in-charge come out!" Bai Qingyu said, without ceremony, to the lobby manager.

The lobby manager's expression flickered. With so many police, it was difficult to handle, so he went to find his boss.

Seeing the swarm of police, the guests present became somewhat nervous, and those who hadn't ordered yet quickly left.

"It's Officer Bai again?" Liu Xiaoxiao raised her delicate brows.

"This situation seems a bit off," Su Muqing said, frowning.

Shen Yifei's expression remained calm. He said, "Let's see what happens first."

Not long after, a tall middle-aged man walked over; it was Wan Tianpeng, followed by the blonde man named A-Jin.

"Distinguished police officers, you honor us with your presence. Why didn't you notify us beforehand?" Wan Tianpeng said with a smile.

"Are you the person-in-charge here?" Bai Qingyu asked.

Wan Tianpeng glanced at Bai Qingyu, and a flicker of desire involuntarily appeared in his eyes. He hadn't expected such a stunning woman among the police. Her figure was truly captivating, especially her generous curves, which seemed ready to burst through her uniform, mesmerizing Wan Tianpeng's gaze.

"My name is Wan Tianpeng. May I ask this lady officer's name?" Wan Tianpeng's lust was evident, his gaze shamelessly lingering on Bai Qingyu.

Bai Qingyu's pretty face was etched with frost. She gritted out, "I am Bai Qingyu, Captain of the Huahai City Criminal Investigation Division. We've received a report that this entertainment city is harboring narcotics!"

Wan Tianpeng's expression abruptly changed. "Who reported this? This is clearly defamation!"

"Whether it's defamation or not is not for us to decide. Please cooperate with our work and let my people conduct a search!" Bai Qingyu retorted with a cold sneer.

Wan Tianpeng's face instantly turned cold. He snorted, "You're deliberately trying to cause trouble here, aren't you, Officer Bai? I advise you to leave obediently, or you'll bear the consequences yourself."

Bai Qingyu was enraged. These ruffians were truly lawless; how dare they brazenly threaten the police?

"Mr. Wan, don't forget we are the police?" Bai Qingyu snorted coldly.

Wan Tianpeng, with a look of scorn on his face, said, "Don't think being a police officer makes you invincible. This is *my* turf!"

The moment his words fell, burly bodyguards emerged from various passages in the main hall, all clad in black suits.

The group of black-suited bodyguards stood in several rows, easily over a hundred of them, glaring menacingly at the police officers.

"We're temporarily closed for business today! Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish to leave, please do so quickly; no need to pay!" Wan Tianpeng shouted.

The diners also realized something was amiss with the situation; better to avoid trouble than seek it, so they left Jinding Entertainment City one after another.

"Shen Yifei, let's go." Su Muqing, seeing the tense situation, couldn't help but feel a little nervous and said with a frown.

"Go? Isn't this just when the show begins?" Shen Yifei chuckled, a look of interest on his face.

"Show, my eye! I feel like there's danger, let's just go," Liu Xiaoxiao said urgently. She certainly didn't want to get involved in this kind of commotion.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you both if we run into danger," Shen Yifei chuckled.

Su Muqing and Liu Xiaoxiao exchanged glances, unsure what to say.

"Miss Su, quickly open your mouth and try this; it tastes quite good," Before Su Muqing could speak, Shen Yifei forked a piece of steak and offered it to Su Muqing's mouth.

Su Muqing was a bit speechless, but she couldn't very well avoid it. She opened her mouth and took a bite. It really did taste quite good.
