Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Red Prison

Having said goodbye to everyone, Xiao Zheng took the still unconscious Chu Xiaoran back home.

Fortunately, Leng Ruobing was not at home, otherwise it would have been difficult to explain why he was carrying an unconscious Chu Xiaoran.

After placing Chu Xiaoran on the bed, Xiao Zheng pressed on her forehead.

"Mm, uh..."

Chu Xiaoran slowly woke up and gradually opened her eyes, feeling a headache.

"You’re awake?" Xiao Zheng feigned a surprised tone.

Chu Xiaoran was taken aback, and then looking at Xiao Zheng, who had a mischievous smile, she felt a bit puzzled.

"Just now, I think I was in the car, and then what happened? Why am I in bed?!" Chu Xiaoran felt confused, then clutching her clothes, exclaimed in terror, "You, you, what did you do to me? You scoundrel!"

Xiao Zheng instantly wore a stern face, realizing that Chu Xiaoran’s thought process was really far from normal!

"Were you knocked silly? If I had done anything to you, would I have waited for you to wake up? Besides, wouldn’t you feel it if I had done something?"

Xiao Zheng looked at Chu Xiaoran irritably.

Chu Xiaoran paused, then seemed to carefully feel it out, noticing that besides a headache, there was nothing unusual, and her clothes were normal.

"Phew, I guess you wouldn’t dare." She sighed in relief, then asked curiously, "What happened earlier? I think I was knocked out?"

Xiao Zheng nodded, aware that Chu Xiaoran wouldn’t remember, but he couldn’t tell her the real situation either.

"Yeah, I was lured away by someone’s trick, then I found out you were kidnapped." Xiao Zheng said.

Kidnapped? Chu Xiaoran paused, then asked, "And what happened after that? Did you rescue me?"

"I don’t have that ability to rescue you! At first, I thought you had gone home, but when I got home and found you weren’t there, and you didn’t answer your phone, I was about to call the police when I saw someone wearing a clown mask bringing you back."

Xiao Zheng’s lies came effortlessly, leaving Chu Xiaoran completely baffled; to make his lies seem more real, Xiao Zheng even mentioned the man in the clown mask.

"Wow! Really? My idol rescued me? And carried me back?"

Chu Xiaoran exclaimed in shock, then she quickly asked, "By the way, did you get his autograph for me, contact details, anything?"

"No!"

Xiao Zheng slapped his forehead, realizing Chu Xiaoran was beyond hope, her gullibility bordering on naiveté.

What will she do with her life in the future! Xiao Zheng was truly disheartened!

"Well, I can’t blame you, I didn’t make it clear to you."

Chu Xiaoran was somewhat disappointed, but that was all she could settle for, meanwhile secretly hoping that the man in the clown mask would appear again, and this time she would definitely ask for his contact details.

Xiao Zheng watched Chu Xiaoran’s face filled with longing, chuckling to himself, knowing that she might never find out that the idol in the clown mask was actually himself.

...

Night fell.

In an international metropolis like Zhonghai, nightlife thrived.

Countless office workers shed their work attire, all dressed up for the nightclubs, starting their life of debauchery.

"Boom~ boom~ boom~"

In a bar, the sound was nearly deafening, as countless young people twisted in the dance floor, their bodies moving wildly to the blasting music.

At that moment, Xiao Zheng was sitting at the bar, still holding a glass of alcohol.

"Red Prison, it really is a bit troublesome!"

Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes as news from Long Qie arrived, Golden Bone was deep in the prison, which was named Red.

This wasn’t just any prison; reportedly, it housed exceptionally skilled experts and was said to be the top among the nation’s ten major prisons.

Unlike a normal prison, Red was a special prison established by the state specifically for detaining experts like them.

Besides this, there were nine other similar special prisons scattered throughout the country, and the one in Zhonghai City was ranked first.

The intelligence provided by Long Qie was very detailed; the Golden Bone might be in someone’s possession, to find the Golden Bone, one needed to locate that person first.

But according to the intelligence, that person was very powerful, and finding him and then stealing the prize from him was undoubtedly an exceptionally difficult task.

"Red... Red..." Xiao Zheng murmured to himself.

This prison was troublesome, and so was that man, but no matter how troublesome, the Golden Bone still had to be acquired, otherwise, his life was at stake.

"Ah, it’s all about running around just to stay alive!" Xiao Zheng sighed.

To ordinary people, his words might sound like those of an underachiever, struggling daily for survival and yet not achieving the rewards he envisioned.

But in reality, that wasn’t what Xiao Zheng meant.

Qian Xiaozheng was not only not short of money, he had more than he could ever spend, but what he needed now was not money, but life.

"Handsome, would you buy me a drink, please?"

At that moment, a flamboyantly dressed woman approached, resting her hand on Xiao Zheng’s shoulder.

"Sorry, I’m ’bent’."

Xiao Zheng laughed, then outright claimed he was ’bent’ because all these women who approached him were barflies, and he was no fool.

The woman paused, then with a meaningful smile, "Oh, one of the sisters! Then I won’t bother you, hehe."

The flamboyant woman left, her mouth uttering ’one of the sisters’, making Xiao Zheng’s lips twitch.

"Uh, that is, a policewoman?"

Suddenly, Xiao Zheng thought he saw a familiar face, but he wasn’t sure.

A woman dressed like a tomboyish girl had just come out of the restroom, staggering a bit as if she had drunk quite a bit. As she moved closer, Xiao Zheng was finally sure, it was Xiao Yufei.

"Holy shit, could this be Xiao Yufei’s true face?" Xiao Zheng suddenly became interested.

Xiao Yufei felt a bit dizzy at the moment, hastily leaning on the bar to rest, having just come out of the restroom.

She was here, not for fun, but on a case – the people at her table were all criminals.

Today, Xiao Yufei’s role was undercover, here to trap them.

After returning to the table, Xiao Yufei leaned on the sofa, thinking of resting a bit until her colleagues arrived to arrest these people.

Xiao Zheng watched them with interest.

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows because he spotted a tall, thin man pouring a small bag of white powder into Xiao Yufei’s glass.

"Holy shit, I can’t stand seeing stuff like this my entire life. Want to score, do it with your own skill; what kind of real man drugs others!"

Xiao Zheng instantly got upset and stood up from the stool, walking over to Xiao Yufei’s side.
