Yang Han Lu made quick work of getting money. But her method was a bit unnerving, and made me very restless with how careless she was with herself.

I guess the only thing I can do for her right now is just be there for her. I guess she still hasn’t completely recovered, otherwise she wouldn’t be acting this strange like letting me sleep with her.

I can’t say much otherwise, so I guess for now our goal is to make some connections. Qin Lan also seemed to have connections to people, but since she was deemed unreliable, Qin Hao probably took away her connections.

But I didn’t know who to look out for, so I asked Yang Han Lu, she herself didn’t know as well: “I’ve heard that the security captain of Miqing Nightclub is someone of notice, and he’s a relative of the owner of the nightclub, and he won’t be afraid of Qin Hao.”

That really surprised me, I thought we were going to talk to some crackhead, but damn, she actually went for people with real power? 

I frowned: "Wait, this is not safe, he may not help us, and might even hurt us."

Yang Han Lu sneered: "If he dares to hurt us, my family wouldn’t sit by passively."

I thought of her mother and was relieved. Although her mother wasn't a criminal, she still had money, and money can do anything, and you can collect favors, like from the police.

But if her mother knew what we were doing, she might hurt Yang Han Lu again. I’m torn on what to do, but there’s nothing else for us to do.

It was a bit farther this time, and we had to take a taxi which took about half an hour.

I have never been to a nightclub in my life, at most I've been to a bar. Now I really feel like a country bumpkin.

The nightclub is similar to how it is in the movies, very large and lively, and you couldn't see anything inside from the outside, but I have fantasized about people with guns here.

Yang Han lu did not go through the main entrance, but took me to the back door: "I heard people say that the only way to find the captain is through here."

This was mysterious, and quite intimidating. I thought for a moment and asked her to stop: "You wait for me here, I'm still nervous, I’m going to buy a knife.”

She pursed her lips and didn’t speak, and before I ran to the store, I went back and grabbed her: “You should come with me.”

She was stunned, and there was a strange look in her eyes, then we ran to a store, and each bought a knife, hid it and went.

The streets were lively at night, especially near a nightclub, and this street seems to have a lot of those, and presumably prostitutes, in short, it was quite scary.

I’ve done this same dance for a while now, so I can keep calm, but Yang Han Lu gradually grew more nervous as she is still a little girl after all, and has a natural fear when she comes to this type of place.

When we got to the alley, there was almost no light there, and she was shifting towards me, but still remained distant.

I had to be careful this time as these were actually people who were dangerous. This was a risky and reckless move, and we shouldn’t be careless here.

Taking a few steps forward, there was a little light which was very noticeable in this dark, and it was someone smoking.

There were several figures in the darkness, seemingly chatting and laughing. These people weren’t the common hooligan, and I reached into my pocket to feel for the knife, and slowly inched towards them.

And immediately a bright light was directed towards us, and made us both squint.

"Haha, two students? Are these kids lost?" One guy laughed, then the rest of the people also laughed: "Now these kids are really bold ...... Huh? The girl in the back, show us your face."

Half of Yang Han Lu's face was behind me, she was really nervous. But she held her nerves and stood side by side with me: "We need to find the captain."

The guys seemed to freeze, then came over quickly: "What a handsome girl, how old is she?" 

A few of them didn’t pay attention at all, and someone pushed me away, and went to touch Yang Han Lu’s face: “Damn, yer fuckin’ so good-looking, what do they feed students these days?”

Yang Han Lu was angry and anxious, and kept shrinking back, and a few of them slowly approached her. I fiercely pulled out a knife and slashed hard on the wall: "We need the captain!"

Despite the darkness of the room, the knife cut in the wall or let out a little spark, and the ear-piercing sound of metal screeching, broke out.

The men were shocked and finally stopped crowding Yang Han Lu, but they seemed to want to beat me up: "Kid, what's wrong with yer brain? Do ya know where ya are?"

I said yes I do, otherwise why would I be looking for your captain? They looked at each other, as if they had only heard the word captain at this moment.

They were more professional than the average gangster, and their disdain was withdrawn: "Are you a student?"

I said we came from the skating rink. Did it matter that we were students? A few of them spoke with each other, and then one of them turned and walked away.

I stood still, Yang Han Lu was completely hidden behind me, and the few who stayed were still joking that they would love to touch Yang Hanlu.

Not long after, the person from before came back and said in a cold voice: "The captain told you to go, go back and study hard."

They suddenly disregarded us again, Yang Han Lu unconsciously pulled the corner of my coat, presumably to tell me to run.

I took a deep breath, unzipped my bag, grabbed a handful of money and threw it out.

The money fell, and a few of them were shocked and all reached out to pick it up. I said in a gruff voice: "I've never met someone who doesn't love money."

One guy ran back immediately, and the rest of them were busy picking up money, but they felt ashamed and stopped picking it up: “What triad are you a part of? You have a lot of money.”

I said I'm a part of any group, but my family has some spare money, and want to establish a relationship with more people.

They believed it, I was cautiously relieved, and my back was totally soaked.

Yang Han Lu was still pulling on the corner of my coat, and seemed to be ready to pull me away at any time.

I waited in the cold, and soon the man returned, followed by a dark figure.

They seemed to come from the back door of the nightclub. And we couldn’t see each other, because the others had also put their phones away.

So in the dark alley, I came face to face with the captain. I couldn't see anything, but I felt he was about the same height as me, just over 5'6, but his aura was definitely not the ordinary type gangsters have.

He was looking at me, perhaps waiting for me to speak, I handed the bag over, he did not take it, and waited for me to speak.

I just said: “Recently, a man named Li Chen was targeted by gangsters from the skating rink and now the entire gang wants him dead, and if you have the time, look after him so he won’t be killed.”

The captain snorted and took a cigarette and lit it up: “Little friend, you’ve come here, and your voice hasn’t even dropped yet? Aren’t you still taking your midterm exams?”

I did not move, and placed the bag in front of him: “This is all we need, we have enough money to spare so don’t worry.”

He gave another snort, this time taking the bag, then reached out and let out a soft laugh: "Not bad, come one.”

My heart was overwhelmed with relief, and I opened my mouth and smiled: "Thanks a lot captain."

He no longer was focused on me, and I pulled up Yang Han Lu so we could leave, and she was walking slowly. Then after we got far enough away from the nightclub, we both felt relief rushing over us, and our foreheads were soaked with cold sweat.

I admire my acting skills.

Yang Han Lu was also sweating, I casually reached out to her and wiped her head: "Are you fine?"

She was stunned and averted her gaze: "Let's go back."

We went and it was a lot less nerve-racking now, we gave 15,000 yuan to the captain, and although it wasn’t that much, it seemed like it was enough for him to do something and probably help us.

I was quite cheerful, and on the way home I found that Yang Han Lu also had a smile on her face. I said thank you, she shook her head: "It's you who's great, I thought too naively, we almost got beaten up."

It was indeed dangerous, if I hadn't handed over the handful of money in a hurry, I can't guarantee what would have been done.

But it's good we succeeded, I said let's go for a late night snack. She also agreed, and we went to the street to have a big meal. She still was a little bit moody, and didn’t want to show her happiness.

After eating we decided we were going to go to sleep, but I didn’t go back to the dorm, and instead went to her rented room to sleep.

She went and showered first, then called me over after she was done. I was a little surprised, and I looked at her, then she threw me her underwear that was on a hanger: “Take it to the landlord.”

I choked, and she didn't look at me, I was very uncomfortable, she told me to hurry up ah.

I just had to take it, she still didn't look at me, and waved her hand and let me go.
