As night falls, Lincheng across the Yangtze River is brightly lit. The long-standing Yangtze River Bridge changes colors. The flashing neon lights and lively crowds are symbols of the prosperity of this southern city.

L&S Club is located on Anlu Street. It is a well-known high-end club in Lincheng. It is also a place where wealthy people go to spend money and have fun.

At a glance, the four security guards lined up neatly at the door all have long legs, broad shoulders and narrow waists, with regular facial features, meticulously combed hair, and well-ironed white shirts tucked into black trousers.

More like a model than a security guard.

The black Maserati driving in the distance stopped at the door of the club. Through the car window, Roven Lu looked at this luxurious place. Unlike other clubs, the exterior decoration of L&S was simple and elegant, without fancy lights and LED lighting uses only warm yellow dimmed lights, giving off a low-key luxury.

The nightlife has just officially begun, and there are many people coming to the club. Roven Lu looks much more simple and low-key among these people who use fashionable and gorgeous luxury brands to package their appearance. He wears simple casual shorts and a hooded long-sleeved thin sweater with white shoes. , with a head of natural black curly hair and a pure fair face, others would believe him if he said he was underage.

"Sorry, I'd like to ask if you are an adult?" The security guard stretched out his arms and blocked Roven Lu's path.

The security personnel scanned the date of birth on it, bent slightly and apologized to Roven Lu, but still did not move away.

"I'm sorry, sir, we have a membership system here. If you don't have a membership card, you can't use the card machine to register. We can't let you in."

Roven Lu didn't care much: "Where can I get a membership?"

The security guard maintained a decent and polite smile: "Sir, please follow me."

There was a black Rolls-Royce in the roadside parking lot not far away. The left and right doors were pushed open at the same time, and two men in private high-end business suits got out.

It was Blake Jin and Mason Si, old friends who came to L&S to drink and reminisce after not seeing each other for several years.

"Shan Yi, are you not used to coming to a place like this?" Blake Jin remembered that Mason Si didn't like places with too many people or noisy places. The reason why he chose this club was that it was opened by a friend he met in college. Is it clean and soundproof? It's too noisy, but the most important thing is that the boss's treasure wine cellar has a lot of good wine.

Before coming, Blake Jin had already contacted the boss to book the best private room and rare red wine.

Mason Si answered casually, his eyes drifting to the tall figure at the door of L&S: "I have become accustomed to it after living abroad for so many years."

The boy's back is facing this way, and his appearance is invisible, but his natural curly hair is very recognizable.

In a quick meeting at the banquet last night, the young master of the Lu family's curly hair was so iconic that Mason Si didn't remember his appearance, only his hair.

The thick curly black hair was fluffy and soft, making his palms itch.

A short distance away, Mason Si felt the itch emerge again along the palm of his hand. He couldn't help but scratch it a few times and silently looked away.

When Blake Jin saw him get out of the car, he kept staring at the door of L&S with interest. He couldn't help but follow his gaze and saw a familiar figure follow the security personnel into the club and quickly disappeared at the entrance.

Within a few seconds, Blake Jin recognized who it was at a glance.

After the moment of surprise, Blake Jin couldn't help but feel confused and faintly angry.

Why does land salt appear here? Doesn't he hate this kind of place? Could it be that he knew that he and Mason Si would come to him tonight to pray for reconciliation?

He was really difficult to deal with. If he had known that Roven Lu had such a stalkerish temperament, he should not have relented and agreed to date him just because he looked so much like Mason Si.

After some thought, Blake Jin made up his mind.

"Let's go,

The security personnel led Roven Lu to apply for a membership card and took him into the bar on the first floor as he requested. Before leaving, Roven Lu asked him if he knew Carter Chen.

The security guard shook his head and said he didn't know him.

As expected, there are dozens or hundreds of staff here. Full-time employees may know each other's names, but part-time employees may not know each other's names.

The purpose of Roven Lu's visit to L&S was not to eat, drink and have fun. According to the investigation, the waiter worked part-time as a bartender here. He was on duty today and should be busy.

The lights in the huge bar were dim, the place was full, and there were no seats.

Sitting on the slightly narrow stage was a short-haired girl wearing a deep-V suspender dress. The spotlight shone on her, and under the light, her skin was as white and delicate as porcelain. She was the resident singer tonight.

The clear and agile voice like a clear spring formed a 3D surround sound in the venue. Lu Yanduo glanced at the girl, and she happened to open her pure eyes and glance over here.

Their eyes met, the girl's lips were slightly raised, her cheeks were deeply sunken, she was cute and playful.

Roven Lu slightly curled his lips and walked through the crowd to the bar. His slightly raised cat eyes sharply searched for the target figure, and quickly locked on the tall and thin boy diagonally to the west behind the bar.

Tapping the glass table with slightly bent knuckles, Roven Lu walked along the bar to the target person, sat on a high chair and held his chin in one hand, looking at the busy boy intently.

"Hi, Carter Chen, what a coincidence we meet again."

The boy whose name was called raised his head in confusion and recognized the young master of the Lu family from last night's banquet. He stopped wiping the goblet and quickly covered up his flash of guilt with a professional smile.

"Hello, what would you like to drink?"

Roven Lu chuckled: "I don't drink, I'm here to see you."

Carter Chen's head tightened suddenly, and his smile became a little weak: "What do you want from me?"

"Nonsense, why should I come to you if I have nothing to do? Do you still remember, I drank a glass of champagne from you last night, did you think it was strange? I was fine before drinking it, but after drinking it, my body became very strange. "

"Why are so many people drinking champagne? I have a health problem. I have tried so hard and I can't figure it out. It happened that you brought the glass of wine, so I just wanted to ask you if you knew what to order. "

Carter Chen squeezed the dust-free towel tightly, her face turned pale, and she avoided his gaze: "No, I don't know. I brought a tray of champagne, and when I walked to you, I only had the last glass left."

Roven Lu stared into his eyes and grabbed his wrist: "Carter Chen, what are you feeling guilty about?"

Carter Chen was like a frightened bird. He let go of his hands in fright, and the goblet fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

The singing and laughter covered up the movement here. Only the guests at the tables near the bar faintly heard the sound and glanced here, and continued their unfinished chatting and joking.

The bartender and another waiter noticed the situation between the two of them. The waiter thought that Carter Chen had offended the customer and quickly ran over to apologize to Roven Lu. Only then did he see that Roven Lu was grabbing Carter Chen's wrist.

"Sorry, sorry, he is new here, and he is not yet proficient in many things."

"I scared him, not his problem. Just let your manager deduct the money for the goblet from my membership card."

Fortunately, it was not a difficult customer. The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good customer, I'm sorry to frighten you."

After a while, the waiter brought a cup of pink and white wine to Roven Lu as an apology. After another apology, he asked Carter Chen to leave and find another waiter.

"I just came to find him."

When the waiter heard this, he glanced at Carter Chen, who looked not very good, and returned to the bartender without saying anything more.

"Even if you don't tell me, I can find out the reason. If it involves illegal crimes, you know the consequences. You are still in college. If your school knows..."

Chi Guoguo's threat caused all the blood to drain from Carter Chen's face. He didn't expect that a glass of wine could cause such a big trouble, "I, I said. A gentleman asked me to give it to you. He said that if you don't want it, If so, let me follow you to find an opportunity for you to drink it, but I really don’t know there is something in that wine. If I knew, I would never dare to do such a thing. "

When the man told him to let Roven Lu drink the wine, Carter Chen had a moment of doubt, but after being comforted by the temptation of two thousand yuan and the man's promise, he didn't think much more about it.

"My family is poor and I just want to do some part-time work to earn living expenses. I really don't know anything else. Please let me go. My parents are old and they are still waiting for me to provide for them."

Sure enough, there is someone behind it.

"Then do you still remember what that person looks like? If you tell me, I will let you go."

"He was wearing a mask. I only remember that he had single eyelids, his hair was three-quarter length, and he was wearing a black suit with sparkling diamonds. He was probably less than 1.8 meters tall, a little shorter than me."

Roven Lu narrowed his eyes slightly and propped up his chin, trying to recall who among the people the original owner had come into contact with had these characteristics.

Under Carter Chen's uneasy gaze, he snorted coldly, took out his wallet from his crossbody bag, pulled out a stack of red copies and handed it to the little boy.

"Good boy, you can improve a lot if you know your mistakes. Remember to be more discerning in what you do in the future. Money is something you can't find forever. Don't lose your conscience for a few small coins. Think of this as a reward for correcting after you make a mistake. "

No, not a lot, exactly two thousand.

Carter Chen didn't dare to accept it. How could he be embarrassed to accept it if he would do things that hurt others just for a small profit?

Roven Lu didn't bother to talk to him anymore, put the money on the glass table and turned around to leave.

Through Carter Chen's description, he already knew who was behind it who wanted to harm the original owner.

Although I don’t know the name, it must be that person.
