Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 75: Where Do We Start?

Phoenix Ablaze’s building did not look too big from the outside, but it was only when Manager Wu brought them around did He Juan realize that he really could not judge the book by its cover.

The VIP area was divided into three floors, each with their own entertainment section. Manager Wu only introduced them concisely without bringing them in as it would be a violation of rules from his part. It seemed like the management in this place was very stringent, and they treated their VIPs very seriously too.

All the while, He Juan strived to maintain a curious and slightly excited smile on his face, even though his head had started to hurt again. Remembering so many things in such a short time was a torture for He Juan. And after going a few rounds in this place, he almost could not differentiate south and north anymore. He could only pray that Mu Yuze would not be as muddleheaded as him.

In the end, he simply gave up trying to remember the layout of this place and focused on the sections. As Mu Yuze had told him earlier, there was a lobby where people used to lounge around or seek a partner, then hotel rooms where people could enjoy themselves privately. Lastly, if you preferred to mingle with a big crowd, then you could join the mixed room. That was where the wildest and most enthusiastic people had gathered.

"That’s about all," Manager Wu halted on the base of the staircase to the second floor. "Please do not worry about the security in this place. We strive to offer you a private place to be as unrestrained as you want."

"Good," He Juan nodded with a brighter smile. Finally, the tour was over and they could begin to search for Long Guozhi! Then recalling something, He Juan asked, "What about the special attraction you’re talking about? When will it be held?"

"About that..." A tiny smile spread across Manager Wu’s face. "At 11 o’clock, a staff member will come to lead you to a place. The attraction will begin right at midnight, so don’t miss it."

He Juan raised a brow. So secretive that they would not even divulge the location until the time arrived? What kind of special attraction would it be? "Okay," He Juan did not insist on pressing the matter anymore. "We will go on our own, then. Thank you for the tour, Manager Wu."

A look of surprise flashed through the manager’s eyes, presumably not expecting that He Juan would even bother to thank him. Oops, He Juan thought, did he not suppose to relay his gratitude? Had an Alpha’s image degenerated so much in society’s eyes nowadays?! Manager Wu swiftly masked his shock and put on a trademark polite smile. "Then I won’t bother you anymore, Sir."

It was not until Manager Wu turned into a corner and disappeared did He Juan finally take a deep breath. It was already close to his bedtime now and he could not help but feel a little fatigued. Yet in front of Mu Yuze, he was unwilling to show even a sliver of weakness. Turning to him with a smile, he whispered in a low voice, "Where do we start?"

Mu Yuze did not answer directly. Instead, he stared at He Juan’s face for one long moment before turning away. "The lobby, most people have gathered there. If we still have no luck, then we can only go to... the mixed room."

He Juan had a pained expression on his face when he imagined what kind of scene he was going to find in that area. He heaved a sigh and offered his arm toward Mu Yuze in a gentlemanly manner. "Shall we?" He could not help but relay his opinion. "However, if I were Long Guozhi’s boss, I would not let him into the mixed room."

Mu Yuze’s expression turned indescribable for a split second, "...Why do you think so?" He slid his arm into He Juan’s and they started to walk toward the lobby.

"Think about it. Long Guozhi is nothing more than a criminal. Not only is he old, he also has a huge scar on his face and his leg is limp. In this place where only the wealthy and powerful could enter, he will look so out of place." He Juan shrugged his shoulders. He had no idea he could judge another person so callously, but he attributed it to the fact that this was close to his bedtime, meaning that his brain to mouth filter was not as tight as usual, and also Long Guozhi was a scum who should go to jail.

He Juan did not realize it himself but his smile gained a coldness akin to a sharp dagger. "He will not be able to mix in, let alone enjoy himself. The most he could do is to watch from afar. His boss might think that this is the safest place for him to hide, but they certainly don’t want to offend anyone either, especially the real owner of Phoenix Ablaze. Who knows what kind of disease Long Guozhi carried in his body after years in prison? What if he infected one of these people here? It will become a huge matter by then."

He Juan blinked and when he turned to Mu Yuze, his expression had returned to the usual gentleness as if the coldness earlier was merely an illusion. "What do you think about my analysis..." he hooked up his lips into a teasing smile. "...baby?"

Mu Yuze secretly pinched his arm and uttered in a low voice. "Gege, behave."

"Oh, how do you want me to behave?" He Juan pressed his face closer as though wanting to take in every shift in Mu Yuze’s expression. "Is it wrong for me to call you my baby?"

Mu Yuze gritted his teeth and the glare he shot He Juan was implying, ’Just you wait.’ He could not act suspicious because the floor was equipped with surveillance cameras. As such, he could only act meek and obedient in front of He Juan — this old bastard who was totally unscrupulous in teasing him to his heart’s content.

Seeing this appearance of wanting to retaliate but could only hold himself back, He Juan was so amused that he broke out into laughter. At least with Mu Yuze here, he was able to forget his body’s discomfort for a while. "It’s okay," he reached out to pinch Mu Yuze’s soft cheek, his expression immensely gentle. "I will let you retaliate all you want after we go back. How about it? Hmm?"

Mu Yuze had just opened his mouth to retort when they heard the sound of someone approaching from the other side. In an instant, they put on an act. One was a mature and gentle dom while the other was a quiet sub.

The people who approached them did not seem to realize their presence yet. The two men talked to each other with a hateful look on their faces. "Just our luck to bump into Young Master Huo tonight! Let’s go, if we’re caught in the crossfire, then we can only blame our shitty luck!"

The other snorted, yet obviously he had been scared by the other’s threat. His voice did not contain any momentum whatsoever. "So what if he is Young Master Huo? Does he think that being a rich Alpha gives him the right to do anything?!"

"Hush! Don’t talk so loud! You don’t know which one here is his people!"

It was then that they noticed He Juan and Mu Yuze. Their eyes widened in shock, especially when it landed on Mu Yuze. They looked like they had been struck by lightning, yet there was also a hint of manic glee in their eyes as if... they were waiting to see a misfortune happening.

He Juan was uncomfortable with how they looked at his omega so he could not help but tuck Mu Yuze closer to him in a possessive gesture. He Juan had always looked a bit intimidating when he was not smiling and the two men shrunk their necks when they realized the warning in He Juan’s eyes.

It was not until He Juan and Mu Yuze disappeared from sight did they start talking again, this time more excitedly,

"Say... that person. He looks just like Young Master Huo’s ideal type! A cold beauty, tall and looks powerful in a glance but still a submissive!"

"But he already has a partner..."

"Duh! Does Young Master Huo ever care for something like that? Otherwise why do you think he was banned from the club three months ago? Even the owner of Phoenix Ablaze can’t prevent him from coming back. How can those people go against Young Master Huo? It’s not like they are more powerful than him!"

"Oh no, there’s going to be another bloodbath tonight! Young Master Huo’s mood today is obviously very bad..."

"Should we... go back and watch?"
