After seeing Tian Yunxin off, Pei Qinghuai returned to the conference room and opened the documents he had left on the table. The first photo that caught his eye was of Tian Mingwei, with his short hair just covering his eyebrows, and his single eyelid giving his eyes a long and narrow appearance.
Pei Qinghuai gently rested his hand on the photo, his gaze reflecting a mix of thoughts.
Meanwhile, Jiang Fei parked the car outside the alley. “Get out, split up, and investigate in three groups,” he ordered.
“Yes, sir.”
Entering the alley, Jiang Fei adjusted his baseball cap and proceeded further in. Soon, he heard a flirtatious voice saying, “Hey handsome, alone?”
Jiang Fei furrowed his brows but turned with a smile on his face. “What can I do for you, miss?”
The woman in the red dress, wearing somewhat cheap makeup, gave Jiang Fei a once-over. “No need to pretend now that you’ve found your way here.”
Jiang Fei chuckled, “First time here, don’t know the ropes.”
The woman’s eyes gleamed eagerly. “A newbie, huh? Come with me, I’ll show you around.”
As she reached out to grab him, Jiang Fei quickly sent his location to his colleagues from his pocket.
The woman led Jiang Fei into a room filled with an overpowering scent of perfume. It was so strong that Jiang Fei couldn’t help but sneeze several times.
“I’ll find you a new one, you’ll be back for more,” she said, slapping Jiang Fei on the butt.
Jiang Fei looked at her in shock, his hand moving toward his pocket.
“Feifei,” the woman called. Jiang Fei froze momentarily, but it turned out to be a girl from the innermost room. Her dress was so short that bending over would reveal everything. She walked up to Jiang Fei, looking shy.
Jiang Fei took a step back and asked, “How old are you?”
Caught off guard, Feifei glanced at the woman before lowering her head and murmuring, “Sixteen.”
Jiang Fei clenched his fists and glared at the woman. “Do you know it’s illegal to involve minors in this?”
“We’re just trying to make a living,” the woman sighed, leaning back against the counter with a look of feigned innocence.
Jiang Fei rubbed his cheek with his tongue, lowered his head and smiled, took out his mobile phone and showed Tian Mingwei’s photo: “Do you know this person?”
The woman and Feifei came over to take a look. The woman was the first to say, “I don’t know. We receive a lot of people here every day. Who can remember such an ugly man?”
Jiang Fei took a step forward and said, “Remember carefully.”
“Who are you? If you want to get in, get out, and do business next to us.” The woman rolled her eyes at Jiang Fei, then reached out to take the cigarette from the side and put it into her mouth.
Seeing that he couldn’t get anything out of them, Jiang Fei turned off his phone and put it in his pocket. When he heard the noise outside, he reached out and took out his ID from his pocket: “Police, squat down!”
Suddenly, panic flashed in the woman’s eyes. She quickly threw her lit cigarette on the ground and stepped on it twice. She looked at Jiang Fei with a smile and said, “Uncle policeman, we are just doing a small business. We haven’t done anything bad.”
Jiang Fei pointed at the girl named Feifei and said, “You have to bear the consequences of inciting a minor!”
The woman quickly pulled Feifei next to her: “I didn’t instigate you. Just ask her yourself. She did it voluntarily.”
