Chapter 136: Chapter 136 Hidden Landmines

Miao Xiaoying spoke of a bath center that Ji Yang was certainly aware of; it was initiated by Zhou Shuo.

At that time, upon their arrival, they felt the absence of entertainment places and believed that to attract people, aspects of dining, entertainment, and leisure needed to be improved; thus, Zhou Shuo began to establish the bath center.

Qian Huifang and others had some plans during the construction phase, considering setting up a supermarket or something similar in that area. After Zhou Shuo took it over from the Li Family, he revamped it, and the construction speed was unprecedentedly fast—shortly, it became operational.

The speed of this construction surprised Ji Yang as well, revealing the capabilities of the Zhou Family.

The grand opening had not yet occurred, but Zhou Shuo called everyone during the trial operation.

Ji Yang couldn’t help but feel enlightened as he had never enjoyed such services before—the professionals from the provincial city were quite competent. After their training, the girls from the local village were able to start working normally.

Although Ji Yang did not partake in some of the more private services, he knew in his heart there was certainly something of that nature.

"Chief Ji, although the bath center hasn’t officially opened yet," Zhou Shuo somehow acquired many beautiful women, including some foreigners among these women."

Miao Xiaoying gave Ji Yang a meaningful look.

Ji Yang understood her implication; soon they might turn that place into a red-light district.

He could only marvel at their abilities; with connections in the provincial city and with him covering for them here, the chances of any mishaps occurring at this place were very small, making everyone dare to visit.

Thinking thus, Ji Yang sweated, considering that if no incidents happened, it was fine, but if something did, he would definitely be held accountable.

What to do?

This was a big issue now facing Ji Yang; he did not want to lose his position over this place.

"Alright, you go attend to your matters."

After Miao Xiaoying left, Ji Yang pondered for a while longer, feeling increasingly that he couldn’t neglect this matter.

If this happened elsewhere, Ji Yang could have ignored it, but being the acting deputy chief, he couldn’t pretend unawareness; if an actual incident occurred, he couldn’t dissociate himself from it.

He picked up the phone and dialed Chu Shuyuan.

Chu Shuyuan answered with a laugh, "Why did you think to call me? Is everything going smoothly? I heard they’ve invested quite a bit, that place is changing every day, isn’t it?"

Ji Yang said, "It is indeed such a situation, but now I’m calling about something else."

Chu Shuyuan became serious, asking, "What’s the matter?"

"It’s like this..." Ji Yang explained the situation with Zhou Shuo’s bath center.

Chu Shuyuan was livid, saying sternly, "What a mess, what are they trying to do?"

"Don’t get upset, here’s my thought—if that place becomes a den of vice, trouble will inevitably ensue, and the trouble will be too significant. Right now, I’m just informing you, and of course, it’s best not to mention my name."

Chu Shuyuan then understood Ji Yang’s intention; he didn’t want it exposed.

"Well, I had intended to ask for your help to safeguard them, but now it seems hopeless."

"Regarding that matter, there’s another situation I need to report—they have hired some maids..." He briefed Chu Shuyuan on the maids’ situation.

Chu Shuyuan fell silent, fully aware of the seriousness of these matters; if things continued like this, those young men would certainly be doomed.

Chu Shuyuan also considered Ji Yang’s concerns; if everyone knew he was the informer, it’s likely that he would be ostracized, which Chu Shuyuan did not want to see.

"Alright, now that you know, just keep it to yourself for now. I’ll see what can be done without exposing you."

Seeing that Chu Shuyuan understood his hint, Ji Yang felt somewhat relieved.

Ji Yang clearly defined his role—for the time being, to protect the Chu family, he had to report certain matters to Chu Shuyuan, his contact person. As for their internal operations, that was not Ji Yang’s concern.

After the phone call, Ji Yang checked the time, it was still early. He lit a cigarette and started to smoke.

At this moment, Ji Yang remembered his stocks; claiming indifference was false. He turned on his phone and started checking.

Upon checking, Ji Yang’s eyes widened with shock—he hadn’t checked for many days and was surprised to see that the stock he bought had increased by more than thirty percent.

What happened?

Ji Yang really was unaware of the situation.

After a while, he discovered that this company had begun to venture into new media development or something, rejuvenating the previously inactive stock situation.

From the current perspective, it seemed to have just started something.

Seeing this, Ji Yang decided not to sell; he had invested in this stock for the long-term, thinking he might as well just see how much it could rise.

The Qian Sisters really had some financial luck!

Thinking back, when he had told the Qian Sisters about it, they also decided to invest in this stock, Ji Yang could only inwardly sigh that they were indeed people with financial luck, now they were also earning money.
