Chapter 210

As soon as Yi Tiantian saw the investor inside the room, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen the man before.

But he couldn’t quite place where he had seen him before.

After the three of them sat down, Yi Tiantian noticed the man in glasses was still watching Actor Fei.

He seemed lost in thought, but his eyes were anything but friendly, as if he wanted to drive Actor Fei away immediately.

To ease the tension, Yi Tiantian smiled and asked, “Mr. Guang, what brings you here today?”

Hearing Yi Tiantian’s words, Guangyi finally shifted his gaze away from Fei Cheng. When he turned back to Yi Tiantian, his expression softened.

His voice low, he said, “Actually, the reason I invited you here today, Mr. Yi, is to ask for your help with something.”

Yi Tiantian became more serious and sat up straighter.

“What is it, Mr. Guang?”

“This is about to get to the critical point!”

“Please ignore Actor Fei beside me!”

Yes, just now Yi Tiantian had deliberately changed the subject to divert Guangyi’s attention away from the heavily disguised Actor Fei!

However, instead of working, this tactic had the opposite effect, drawing Guangyi’s attention back to Actor Fei.

Seeing how hard Yi Tiantian was trying to change the subject, Guangyi decided to have some fun and see just how far he would go to protect this person’s identity.

A barely noticeable smile curled at the corner of Guangyi’s mouth as he looked at Yi Tiantian gently, then slowly shifted his eyes back to Actor Fei.

The eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses held a mischievous glint as he said, “Could we ask this gentleman to step outside before we begin? I don’t want any assistants present, as what I’m about to discuss is very private.”

Yi Tiantian’s nerves tightened again, realizing Guangyi was clearly targeting Actor Fei, who simply smiled in response to the hostility.

“It looks like I really have to get Actor Fei to leave!”

“I’ll have to handle the rest on my own!”

“I wonder if there will be any danger…”

“Still, it’s better to keep Actor Fei away from potential danger!”

Seeing that Guangyi was determined to get rid of Actor Fei, Yi Tiantian thought to himself.

Actor Fei was dying to reveal that he wasn’t just an assistant, so he could directly tell Guangyi that he wasn’t some lowly assistant.

Moreover, he could help promote the so-called underground brothel in the entertainment industry.

But after hearing Yi Tiantian’s inner thoughts, Guangyi became unexpectedly gloomy. The eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses lost some of their luster as his Adam’s apple bobbed, and he tapped the table irregularly with one hand.

He hadn’t expected Yi Tiantian to go this far, not to try and keep Actor Fei here, but to ensure Actor Fei was kept away from danger. The depth of his feelings was clear.

The warmth in Guangyi’s eyes faded, and his smile slipped away. He suddenly found the idea of toying with Yi Tiantian and Actor Fei uninteresting and beneath him.

But by now, Yi Tiantian had already looked at Guangyi and said, “Alright, Mr. Guang, I’ll have my assistant wait outside for me.”

Fei Cheng was just about to lift his hand to remove his hat and sunglasses, ready to reveal himself, but Guangyi suddenly spoke in a cold, unexpected tone.

"No need. Just keep the assistant here with you, as long as he can guarantee not to spread what he hears."

Fei Cheng's hand, which was already halfway up, slowly returned to its place, and Yi Tiantian was equally surprised by Guangyi's sudden change of heart.

"What's up with this guy? Why did he suddenly change his mind?"

"We've been here for so long, and there's still no info on this person in the rumor system!" (A system that gathers gossip and rumors.)

"This is way too weird! What are you hiding, Guangyi?"

Yi Tiantian kept a polite smile on his face, but inside, he was full of doubts.

Guangyi heard Yi Tiantian's thoughts but didn't react. He lightly cleared his throat and began to explain the purpose of inviting Yi Tiantian here.

"I've opened a place that requires some publicity, but this kind of publicity can't be done openly..."

As Yi Tiantian had seen in the system, Guangyi wanted to use his status and connections in the entertainment industry to promote a certain... establishment, one that operated underground and attracted a specific clientele.

"Why me for this promotion?"

"I’m not exactly well-connected in the entertainment industry!"

Yi Tiantian often disappeared for days after recording shows and rarely attended gatherings with people from the industry, so he didn’t see himself as particularly well-connected.

But why did Guangyi pick me? It’s weird. Was the Dusk Society short on people for this kind of job?

Yi Tiantian found it puzzling because, from what he knew, the Dusk Society had more influence over the entertainment industry than anyone imagined. Surely, promoting an underground brothel wouldn’t require him.

There has to be something else going on here.

But the rumor system gave him almost nothing, so he had no idea why Guangyi had chosen him.

He could only smile at Guangyi and say, "I understand, I'll do my best to help you, but do you have any specific requirements?"

"For example, promoting it to a hundred new customers?"

"This feels like promoting some shady software!"

Guangyi smiled slightly. "I don't have any specific requirements, Mr. Yi. Just do what you can."

In fact, Guangyi's real purpose in inviting Yi Tiantian for this meal wasn't for his help, but simply to meet him in person.

He hadn’t expected Yi Tiantian to bring along someone else, which ruined the mood. As each carefully selected dish was brought to the table, Guangyi found he had no appetite.

The meal ended in an awkward atmosphere.

Guangyi was about to stand up and see Yi Tiantian off, but unexpectedly, Yi Tiantian spoke again.

"Mr. Guang, could you take me to that place for a tour?"

"Huh?"

This request was outside of Guangyi's plans. He had never intended to actually take Yi Tiantian there.

And that place wasn't suitable for someone as pure as Yi Tiantian.

But if he refused, it would seem unreasonable.

Seeing Guangyi standing there in a daze, Yi Tiantian cautiously asked again.

“What do you think? We can head over right now.”

Guangyi pondered for a moment, then nodded steadily.

“Alright, let’s go then.”

“Great!”

“Too bad I didn’t bring a hidden camera today. If I had, I would have recorded everything in that sinful underground brothel!”

“And I’d have sent it to Officer Qin right away, so he could shut down that wicked place!”

Yi Tiantian thought excitedly.

But both Fei Cheng and Guangyi, who could hear his thoughts, inwardly smiled at how naive and innocent Yi Tiantian was.

If Yi Tiantian went to the underground brothel and the police raided it right after, anyone with a brain would start to suspect him!

So if he went through with it, Yi Tiantian would essentially be exposing himself, which would severely damage his credibility within the Dusk Society.

Guangyi knew that even if Yi Tiantian wanted to do this, Fei Cheng, who was posing as a servant, would definitely stop him.

Thus, he wasn’t worried at all about taking Yi Tiantian to the brothel.

Fei Cheng also decided that once they were back, he would have a serious talk with Yi Tiantian about a countermeasure, so he wouldn’t easily expose everything.

The three of them rode in Guangyi’s car, with Fei Cheng and the driver up front, and Yi Tiantian sitting in the back with Guangyi.

Fei Cheng glanced at the GPS on the driver’s side and silently memorized the exact location of the underground brothel.

The car drove for about an hour before finally stopping in front of a deserted suburban villa.

“Is this villa a brothel?”

“It doesn’t look that big!”

Yi Tiantian got out of the car and saw what looked like an abandoned villa.

Ivy crawled up the walls, and the pool was choked with green algae. Overgrown trees and thick weeds made it look like no one had lived there in years, much less run a brothel.

A red flag went up in Fei Cheng’s mind as he realized Guangyi might be leading them into a trap.

“Is this the place?”

Yi Tiantian looked around and saw only the villa. The brothel had to be there.

But to his surprise, Guangyi smiled slightly and nodded. “Yes, our underground brothel is indeed here. Please follow me.”

Yi Tiantian and Fei Cheng followed Guangyi into the villa, and even after entering, they saw no signs that anyone had been living there.

Yet they remained calm, following Guangyi as they headed toward the basement.

“Why is everyone in the Dusk Society so obsessed with underground places?”

“Just off the top of my head, I can think of several underground buildings! Like the famous Glory Underground City!”

Yi Tiantian wondered aloud as they walked.

As they walked down the dark, narrow path, Yi Tiantian gradually began to hear a mix of roars and screams. When they finally reached the iron door, he caught a glimpse of the neon lights and chaos seeping through the crack beneath it.
