Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060: Boss Hong and Sister Hong

One day, Lin Yue had just woken up when he received a call from Brother Jin, informing him that Boss Hong would be coming for an inspection today, and that everyone should return to the shop to prepare for her arrival.

After learning this, Lin Yue hurriedly got out of bed, dressed neatly, and dashed out of Gu Fan’s old house. However, at that moment, Lin Yue felt a bit worried. He looked back, saw no movement, so he continued on his way.

What Lin Yue didn’t know was that the room had surveillance installed, and as soon as Lin Yue left, the video was sent to Lin Xi, Gu Fan, and Su Hui.

Seeing how Lin Yue was rushing off in such a hurry, Lin Xi guessed that there must be some trouble with Lin Yue’s gang, so out of concern for her brother, she promptly took leave from work.

Meanwhile, Su Hui had just finished a shift with Xiaofei and Xiaowu. Upon hearing the news, she looked at Xiaofei and Xiaowu, who still lacked work experience, with a sly glint in her eyes.

Xiaofei and Xiaowu felt a sense of fear under Su Hui’s gaze, and asked, "Master, why are you looking at us like that? You wouldn’t be planning to assign us some dangerous task to train us, would you? We’re newbies; can we progress step by step?"

"Don’t worry, how could I possibly bully my apprentices?" Su Hui said with a smile that slightly resembled that of a cunning merchant.

Xiaowu asked Xiaofei what they should do, to which Xiaofei sighed and said, "What else can we do? Having such a brave master means we’re already on the thieves’ ship; we’ll just have to do whatever she does."

An hour later, Lin Yue arrived at the shop and saw that many people were already there. Brother Jin, in particular, was dressed impeccably, fully spirited and on his toes.

It appeared that Boss Hong had not yet arrived, so Lin Yue breathed a slight sigh of relief. It was then he heard the door open, and everyone’s gaze turned to the entrance.

A person exuding the aura of a boss strode in, puffing on a cigar, accompanied by a woman who was very seductive, dressed in a leather jacket and skirt, followed by a group of underlings.

"Boss, and Sister-in-law," Brother Jin went up to greet them; his previous imposing demeanor vanished, and he was as obsequious as a dog, nodding and bowing to Boss Hong.

Lin Yue looked at the seductive woman somewhat unintentionally. Her face, her legs, her figure were incredibly alluring—it would make any man think of committing a crime.

Once seated on the sofa, Boss Hong expressed dissatisfaction, "Old Jin, the task I assigned you, how could you have botched it? So many of you were actually chased off by a single cop. Isn’t it embarrassing? With so many of you standing together, you could have scared her witless."

Immediately, Brother Jin expressed his grievance, "Boss Hong, that female cop is really tough. Her name is Su Hui, and she has a reputation in our circles for being fierce. I’ve suffered at her hands before."

"I’ve heard about this policewoman, but I’ve never encountered her myself. I thought her reputation was exaggerated by people in the circle. How could a woman beat nearly forty grown men like you?" Boss Hong said skeptically. Then, as more customers started to arrive, Brother Jin began to direct people to attend to them.

Boss Hong didn’t want to disrupt business, so she went to the office to check the accounts. Apart from a few necessary people for protection, everyone else began to enjoy themselves, as this was their territory—surely no one would be foolhardy enough to cause trouble here.

As time went on, more customers arrived, and the shop became fully lively. There were those dancing joyfully, drinking, singing in private rooms, and gambling—there was plenty of fun to be had in this underground world.

Boss Hong’s woman, also surnamed Hong, was known to everyone as Sister Hong. As soon as she arrived on the scene, her fiery dance moves attracted the attention of countless onlookers; many men dancing ended up gravitating closer to her.

This place wasn’t exactly legitimate, but it was precisely its illegitimacy that made playing there all the more exhilarating and allowed for some special services.

To attract customers, the establishment employed a bevy of young and beautiful girls to boost the atmosphere in the dance hall, the karaoke rooms, and the gambling den, enticing people to spend even more money.

However, today, all those young and beautiful girls were upstaged by Sister Hong, who was dancing ever more wildly in the dance hall, seemingly having the time of her life.

After dancing up a storm for a good while, Sister Hong had worn herself out. She headed to the bar and ordered a drink, quietly served by Lin Yue.

"Sister Hong, this one’s for you." Lin Yue handed the prepared cocktail to Sister Hong, and after having just a little taste, she couldn’t stop singing its praises, "Kid, not bad at all, you really know how to mix a drink, it’s exactly to my taste."

Hearing this, Lin Yue was delighted inside, "Thank you for the praise, Sister Hong. If you have the time, please come often, and I can always mix drinks for you."

"Sure thing, I’ll come see you, my handsome toy boy, when I’m free." Sister Hong said, her words accompanied by a flirtatious smile, and she gazed intently at Lin Yue, causing him a bit of embarrassment.

Then Sister Hong casually struck up a conversation with Lin Yue, "How long have you been with Brother Jin?"

Lin Yue replied, "Almost ten years now, I suppose. Back then, I was wandering the streets. If Brother Jin hadn’t taken me in, I would probably have starved to death, so he is my benefactor."

"Ten years, you’ve been with Brother Jin for so long. That’s rare, seems like you’re a person who remembers favors." Sister Hong said, as she took off her jacket, sipped her drink, listened to the music, and began swaying, exuding youth and vigor that Lin Yue couldn’t help but watch a little longer.

Sister Hong noticed this, "Why were you stealing glances at me just now, do you find me attractive?"

"No, that’s not it!" Lin Yue hurriedly explained, feeling quite anxious inside, afraid that Boss Hong would get angry if she found out.

Finding Lin Yue’s awkwardness amusing, Sister Hong continued to tease him, "What do you mean, you didn’t look at me, is it because you don’t find me attractive?"

"That’s not it, Sister Hong, you really are beautiful, I..." Lin Yue didn’t know what to say next, feeling more and more at a loss for words.

Sister Hong looked at Lin Yue with interest, "You’re tall and handsome, there must be a lot of girls who like you. So, do you have a girlfriend?"

"I’m sorry, Sister Hong, I’m single right now." Lin Yue answered somewhat awkwardly, and Sister Hong put on a feigned look of surprise, "You’re this handsome and still single? What a waste. It’s just too bad I’m already spoken for, otherwise I’d match you with someone."

"This..." Lin Yue really wanted to say ’Sister Hong, don’t go through the trouble, you’ll do’, but he never summoned the courage to utter those words.

Just then, another woman approached the bar, boldly taking a seat next to Sister Hong, and simply said, "Bartender, make me a drink."

Lin Yue was stunned. Wasn’t this his own sister, Lin Xi? What was she doing here?
