Chapter 728 - 721: Lady Xue
Chapter 728: Chapter 721: Lady Xue
Sisi got back into the car and immediately took out paper and pen to sketch the woman’s face. She had only caught a fleeting glimpse in the elevator earlier and needed to sketch quickly before the image faded from her memory.
As she drew, she recalled the details smoothly. Within half an hour, the woman’s portrait was completed, achieving around seventy to eighty percent resemblance to the real person.
That evening, Sisi showed the portrait to Tian Xinhua and said, "This woman is a bit strange; she keeps staring at me as if she knows me, and her demeanor is quite hostile."
To bolster her argument, Sisi took out paper and pen and sketched another identical portrait, quickly adding large dark sunglasses to the face.
"Look, now isn’t it almost identical to that faceless portrait we had before?"
Sisi placed her portrait side by side with the one from the police station, and they did look quite similar.
Tian Xinhua faxed Sisi’s portrait to He Chengsi and also sent someone to the hotel to investigate the woman’s details. Since the encounter happened at the hotel, the woman was likely staying there as a guest.
Thanks to Rong Zishan, an insider, the investigation progressed quickly. Rong Zishan reported that the woman had checked out yesterday, along with a young man. They stayed together, appearing more like lovers than a married couple.
Their hotel registration was simple; the woman was named Liu Dan, and the man was Liu Yu, which sounded like siblings.
They had checked into the hotel ten days ago, their accents somewhat resembling those from the North, and the man named Liu Yu rarely left the hotel, mostly staying inside.
In short, the two seemed strange!
That’s the exact words from the hotel staff.
They seemed not particularly suspicious, just after Sisi discovered their true appearance, they immediately checked out. If this isn’t guilty behavior, what is?
In another hotel in G City
Ah Shen, with a cold expression, warned the woman, "Xue Ji, stay in the hotel for the next few days and go nowhere. The most important thing is not to provoke He Sisi again!"
Xue Ji pouted, dissatisfied with the man’s restriction on her movements.
"Ah Shen, you’re being overly cautious. He Sisi hasn’t recognized me; why should we leave? This hotel is not good at all."
"If you want to die, don’t drag me along. I don’t want to clean up after you. If He Sisi wasn’t suspicious of you, why did she take your sunglasses? She’s obviously onto you. We must be cautious in our future actions; all plans targeting He Sisi are on hold!" Ah Shen said with a furrowed brow.
Xue Ji raised an eyebrow at him, with a half-smile, "Ah Shen, you’re getting more cowardly! Grandpa used to praise you in front of us as the smartest and most capable grandson in the family!"
Ah Shen was unfazed by her provocation, coldly stating, "The strong enemy, the weak I, I only want to live a few more days!"
There was one thing Ah Shen didn’t say: if not for the family’s honor, he would rather find a place where no one knows him and live quietly for the rest of his life!
Meanwhile, interesting news came from He Chengsi’s side.
This woman was indeed from the Capital City, the top lady at Huamanren Club, named Rou Xue, but everyone called her Lady Xue, because of her "ice-like skin and snow-white complexion." She had come out of nowhere a year ago, with no known background, though she claimed to be from Ice City. Her pale skin and accent somewhat resemble the Ice City people’s.
Lady Xue had only been at the club for a few days before she squeezed out the previous top lady and became the new headliner. Her appearance fees went up to thousands and even tens of thousands, with clients never ending.
Patrons who had experienced Lady Xue revealed that this mysterious Lady Xue seemed trained in soft skills, with a body so flexible it could bend into unimaginable positions, providing men with ultimate enjoyment of both body and mind, not to mention other mesmerizing bedroom skills that made men wish to die in her embrace.
It’s truly the idea of dying under the peony flower means being romantic even as a ghost!
In short, Lady Xue became the object of pursuit by Kyoto Nobles, with her fees rising steadily. Even some rich young masters engaged in physical fights over her, with one severe case still in the hospital as a vegetative state!
Ultimately, this piece of sweet meat was snatched up by a mysterious figure half a year ago. Since then, Lady Xue disappeared from the club, leaving her tantalizing stories lingering everywhere.
Even if I’m no longer in Jianghu, my legend continues to be heard!
As to who the mysterious figure is, no one knows, but it’s certain that the person holds significant power and isn’t ordinary; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to suppress the bunch of soon-to-go-mad Capital City playboys at the club!
However, while the Jianghu folks don’t know this mysterious figure, He Chengsi certainly does — let’s not forget what he does for a living.
"Ah Nan, do you know who this mysterious figure is?" Tian Xinhua teased.
Sisi was too lazy to guess and threw a playful glance at Tian Xinhua, prompting the man to spill the beans voluntarily.
"Second Son of Jin Family; do you remember during the first lunar month, when we had dinner at Gangzi’s house? Gangzi said he saw Second Son Jin picking up his mistress from the club, and that woman is precisely this Lady Xue, also known as Liu Dan."
Second Son Jin?
Sisi’s eyes lit up, "Could it be that this woman is under the instructions of Second Son Jin? The Jins have always disliked me."
Tian Xinhua hesitated, not entirely convinced, "It’s hard to say now; Liu Dan herself is mysterious, as if she came prepared. Though it seems on the surface that Second Son Jin was captivated by her beauty and took her in, in reality, she initiated contact and seduced him. Otherwise, given Second Son Jin’s habit of only being involved with women from respectable families, he wouldn’t choose a club lady."
"Moreover, that Liu Yu who accompanied Liu Dan isn’t simple either. The two appeared in the Capital City together, posing as siblings, and set up a company as soon as they arrived. With Liu Dan maneuvering among numerous men, his company earned tens of millions within a year, especially with that project in the western city provided by Second Son Jin, which alone could net over twenty million," Tian Xinhua added.
While Sisi wasn’t impressed by tens of millions, for a company only a year old, this was a considerable figure.
Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "Isn’t it said that she’s being kept by Second Son Jin? Then why did this woman come to G City? Would Second Son Jin just let her go?"
Tian Xinhua displayed a schadenfreude smile, "Didn’t Second Son Jin undergo a family discipline from Boss Jin during the first lunar month? He’s suffering from kidney deficiency; the temptation is right in front of him, but he can’t indulge, so he turned a blind eye and let his mistress travel. Once he recovers, she’ll return."
Sisi couldn’t help but laugh too.
"Now, it seems we need to confirm two aspects: whether Liu Dan is indeed this Madam Wang, and whether Liu Dan is acting on Second Son Jin’s instructions or on her own accord," Tian Xinhua stated.
