Chapter 477 Stirring up Trouble_2
Zhao Yao had three wives, the eldest of which was from the Sun family, which held a small reputation in Subei. The young Miss Sun Mengqi, was the daughter of the eldest wife's sister. Miss Dong's target this time was this young Miss Sun.
Sun Mengqi managed the personnel and procurement of Moon Lake Tower, being one of the three controllers of power. According to intelligence, Miss Dong had gone to the largest bar in Suzhou City last night, secretly meeting with Sun Mengqi. However, she completely lost contact afterwards…!"
In the luxurious rear seat of the Rolls-Royce, Chu Mo was lying quietly at this moment, while Jiang Tao at the co-driver's seat was thoroughly reporting the information he had.
Sitting beside Chu Mo was Jiang Rourou.
Unlike the other spokespersons, although Jiang Rourou was a woman, she had the strength of a half-step Grandmaster. Even Fan Gao was not her match now. Among those around Chu Mo, only the head of the detective agency, Jiang Tao, could go toe-to-toe with her.
Her formidable martial prowess was one of the reasons why Chu Mo chose to have her by his side. Of course, it was even more important that Grandmaster Jiang Dingnan had also set off from Zhongzhou and was estimated to rendezvous with him in a few hours.
For this trip to Suzhou, Chu Mo had brought almost all of his most elite team, totaling six to seven hundred professional bodyguards; any single one of them had the capability to fight five others. The gathering of such a force was enough to intimidate any power.
Of course, Chu Mo did not expect to confront the Zhao family of Suzhou with force. The reason he brought so many people was partly to show strength, and partly for his own safety.
Since the other party dared to make a move on his spokesperson, no one could ensure they would not do the same to him. If they truly lost their sanity, Chu Mo naturally needed to have the capability to defend himself.
Of course, if it was confirmed that the Zhao family of Suzhou was behind this, Chu Mo would naturally use his means to uproot them completely.
An hour and a half later, the motorcade eventually arrived in Suzhou City. Chu Mo did not go directly to the Zhao family of Suzhou City but directed the motorcade to Huiyuan Bar instead.
Firstly, this was where Dong Xun'er disappeared, and secondly, he was unclear about the role the Zhao family played in this matter. Before clarifying the whole situation, he was reluctant to have a bad confrontation with the Zhao family, so he did not directly go there and accuse them.
At five in the afternoon, a long line of vehicles slowly stopped in front of the bar. The weather today was gloomy, with an overcast sky that seemed like a heavy rain would pour down anytime soon.
As the rear door of the Rolls-Royce opened, the vicinity of the bar was already surrounded by dense layers of people, inside and out. Under such strict vigilance, let alone unrelated people, even a fly would not be able to fly in.
After Chu Mo stepped out of the car, he was followed by Jiang Tao, Fan Gao, and Jiang Rourou, three half-step Grandmasters who provided close protection. On the outside, the two-meter-three-tall deputy head of security, Fang Lihu, led twenty bodyguards each over two meters tall, completely sealing off all the nearby exits.
Such a formidable lineup had already alarmed countless people. Inside Huiyuan Bar, including the duty manager, dozens of wait staff all came out to greet them. Even the bar's boss, after hearing the news, was already on the way.
Chu Mo glanced up at the gray sky above his head and muttered softly,
"The night is dark and the wind is high…"
After dropping these light words, he stepped forward and headed straight into the bar.
Neither the wait staff nor the duty manager had the qualifications to approach within ten meters of Chu Mo. With seven to eight hundred bodyguards guarding, all unrelated personnel were pushed out.
It was still early, and far from the bar's busiest time. When entering the bar, there were only a handful of customers sitting scattered in the booths.
Of course, with Chu Mo's entrance, the place was definitely going to be cleared. As dozens of bodyguards flooded in, it wasn't even necessary to persuade much; those few customers all left voluntarily, none wanting to invite trouble for themselves.
Chu Mo sat squarely in the center of the bar, in the largest and most central booth. As he took his seat, all the nearby booths swiftly filled up with grim-faced bodyguards in black. But that wasn't all; even though all the booths were taken, they seated but a fraction of the people.
The remaining hundreds stood in neat rows around the corners, and the swarm of black-clad figures even spilled over into the corridors.
It was at this point that Chu Mo finally turned his attention to the waiter across from him. He slightly turned his head and gave an order to Jiang Tao at his side:
"Bring me everyone who was in contact with Dong Xun'er last night. Also, go check the back and pull up the video from last night!"
Jiang Tao immediately nodded his agreement. He stepped out of the booth and, after giving instructions to a group of waiters opposite, saw more than a dozen waitstaff head toward the booth, while Fan Gao, guided by one of the waiters, made his way to the back of the bar.
Moments later, nine people, including four stylishly dressed beauties, appeared before him. Chu Mo regarded the trembling group with a level voice:
"Tell me exactly what you saw last night. If I find out you've held anything back, you'll be responsible for the consequences."
"Gulp...!" The sound of a middle-aged man swallowing nervously echoed through the space. He stepped forward as the manager of the bar, pulling out a wad of red banknotes from his pocket. He placed several dozen hundred-yuan notes on the coffee table in front of him, then spoke with a pained expression:
"Sir, I honestly know everything. After that lady came in last night, she asked me to prepare some of the prettiest girls to accompany her for drinks, promising a reward if it was done well. So I brought over the hottest girls from our bar, then she gave me this money. All the money is here; I haven't touched a cent of it!"
As the bar manager finished, Chu Mo's gaze shifted to the four flamboyantly dressed women in front of him. It struck him as odd that Dong Xun'er, a woman, would request so many people to drink with, but he didn't dwell on it. After sweeping his eyes over each of them, he said coldly:
"Speak! Tell me what you know!"
The four women exchanged looks. As part of the bar's atmosphere team, their role was merely to accompany patrons and warm up the scene. Having seen Dong Xun'er accompanied by dozens of bodyguards the previous day, they hadn't even dared to breathe too heavily. Now, faced with the even more imposing Chu Mo, all their faces were pale, and one particularly timid girl even began to cry.
A moment later, one of the older women among them spoke up:
"Uh... Sir, we really don't know anything. Even though we were also there last night, we didn't exchange a single word with that lady throughout the evening. Only our team leader, Gao Xia, spoke to that lady."
No sooner had the woman finished speaking than the middle-aged manager immediately replied:
"Gao Xia is our most beautiful hostess. She talked a lot with that lady last night, but she hasn't come in today, claiming she is unwell and asked for a leave."
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo turned to Fan Gao and ordered:
"Find her. Turn the place upside down if you have to, but make sure to find this Gao Xia."
Fan Gao quickly agreed. With a soft command, several black-clad bodyguards took the manager along as they left. If Gao Xia hadn't escaped Suzhou City, it was believed she would be brought in soon.
Just then, the bar's door was pushed open again, and a balding middle-aged man in his forties hustled towards them.
However, without Chu Mo's permission, he was stopped several meters away.
The sweating middle-aged man immediately nodded and addressed Chu Mo:
"Mr. Chu, I am Qin Mang, the owner of this bar. If there has been any offense, please forgive me, Mr. Chu!"
