Chapter 176: Surveillance

I briefly explained the situation to Mai Qi. Mai Qi’s mouth curled into an O shape and she couldn’t close it for a long time.

I patted her shoulder and sighed, “Looks like I’ve polluted your pure heart. My dear princess, such is the evil of the human world.”

Mai Qi finally closed her mouth and then she said with righteous indignation. “Nanxing, we have to stop this. We can’t let their evil scheme succeed.”

I looked at Mai Qi. “My dear princess, don’t be naive. These girls do the things willingly. You heard everything earlier.”

“But that Yu Ying, she didn’t sound willing. She just wants to earn extra money, they didn’t tell her everything!”

“Please, she’s already an adult. It’s impossible for her to not understand the truth after her friend went into such detail. These girls are not that innocent. Furthermore, how are we supposed to stop them?”

Mai Qi was silent but she was angry.

I looked at her. “Mai Qi, are you disappointed in me? Do you think I’m cold-blooded?”

Mai Qi shook her head and she sighed sadly, “No, I understand what you mean. But that doesn’t mean we should just let it happen. We should give these girls a chance. Perhaps they’ll know better if we warn them.”

I sighed, “Mai Qi, you are too kind.”

Mai Qi looked at me. “Nanxing, are you really going to do nothing?”

I took a sip of the drink, “First we need to figure out Jing Ning’s plan and movement.

Mai Qi’s eyes brightened. “Nanxing, I knew it!”

I nudged her. “What do you know?!”

“I knew you are a good person.” Mai Qi smiled like a child.

I stopped smiling. “Mai Qi, Jing Ning is not that bright to come up with a scheme like this.”

The smile on Mai Qi’s face gradually disappeared. She asked weakly, “This is Ye Qian’s work, isn’t it?” I said nothing.

Mai Qi sighed and smiled bitterly. “And I was saying these girls were too naive and innocent. Am I not being played like a fool too? Like these girls, they were ready to sell me out and I didn’t even realize it.”

I comforted her. “Well, technically they haven’t sold you yet because they’re waiting for a good buyer who can afford you.”

She glared at me, “You sure have a unique way to console people.” I lowered my voice to laugh.

…

It was not that hard to track Jing Ning’s movement. But it was difficult to find out the kind of project he was working on. If I wanted to ruin their plan, the most important thing was to acquire the evidence. My gang of four came in useful for this.

I didn’t go home that weekend. I told Jing Tian and went to a nightclub Brother Hu had pinpointed for me. I brought Mai Qi along. I booked a room next to Jing Ning’s booth. Brother Hu had assigned people to set up surveillance in the room next door. I adjusted the program on my computer and we could see everything that was happening next door.

Mai Qi gave me a thumbs up. “Nanxing, well done.”

“I didn’t do much, Brother Hu and his people did everything. In any case, my dear princess, order what you want, your boss is treating you tonight.”

Mai Qi ordered many things. After all, we were at a nightclub. Furthermore, we were in for a good show so good food was necessary.

“Are you sure you don’t want to invite your Professor Jing to join us?” Mai Qi asked as she started the karaoke machine.

“Are you crazy?” I gasped.

Mai Qi smiled. “It is true that there is kryptonite for everything. Nanxing, you are fearless but one mention of Professor Jing and you’ve already surrendered.”

I hit me. “That is the power of love, you don’t have it, so you won’t understand!”

Mai Qi pouted, “Ouch, that hurts!”

The two of us joked, waiting for the show to start.

The first to arrive was Ye Qian and Jing Ning. Jing Ning immediately jumped on Ye Qian when they were in the room. Ye Qian was playing hard to get and it only made Jing Ning even more aroused.

After a long kiss, Ye Qian gently pressed Jing Ning back. “That’s enough! Nanyang is coming, what if she sees us.”

Jing Ning hugged Ye Qian and coaxed her like a child. “So what? She wouldn’t dare to say anything, it’s not her place to say anything either!” Jing Ning’s tone turned up with derision when he mentioned Nanyang.

Ye Qian smiled charmingly and said, “We still need her on our side, you can’t piss her off yet. You have to coax her and keep her on our leash, understand?”

Jing Ning nodded unwillingly and asked for another kiss.

Ye Qian chuckled. “Don’t you already have enough from Nanyang? She has even given her body to you already.”
