CHAPTER 23: 23. I WILL FIND YOU, NO MATTER WHAT.

Shi Nian pushed past Q and rushed over to hug Nisha: "What’s wrong?"

Nisha’s beautiful eyes finally focused and recognized Shi Nian. She hugged Shi Nian and burst into tears: "Hour, help me. I have two daughters, I can’t be in any trouble, or they’ll starve."

Father looked around: "What are you waiting for? Take both of them away!"

Two men wearing white masks immediately stepped forward, pressing down Nisha and Shi Nian, covering their mouths with their hands, and dragging them toward the back door.

.

The police car stopped, Jia Tianzi examined the ancient building hidden within the narrow alley: "Are you sure the suspect is here? This is private property, we don’t have a search warrant, we can’t get in."

Jia Tianzi checked his watch: "It’s too late to contact a familiar judge at this hour."

Tang Yanqing sat in the car, squinting at Yanwu Square through his sunglasses.

The ancient white marble exterior walls were half submerged in darkness, with only a sliver of sunset hanging on the pointed top in Shanghai, like a smear of flaunting blood.

He stepped out of the car, took two deep puffs from his cigarette, then extinguished it beneath his foot.

"Forgot I was once the top scum of this city? There’s no place in this city of vice and filth that I don’t know about. This Yanwu Square is the club for the scum of the Indian community. Just now I let you smell Henna and mushrooms, and also the scent of young girls... the only place where these three elements converge is this Yanwu Square."

Jia Tianzi could only nod: "But there’s no search warrant."

Tang Yanqing sneered, walked into the small roadside shop, bought a disposable phone, pinched his voice to report: "...I’m near Yanwu Square, I’ve been kidnapped. Please, come and save me quickly."

Despite being partners with Tang Yanqing for four years, Jia Tianzi was still startled.

Tang Yanqing hung up, then threw the disposable phone into the sewer. He smiled and stared at Jia Tianzi’s radio. Sure enough, before counting to five, the radio received a call from the command center: "Colleagues near Yanwu Square, we received a report..."

Tang Yanqing shrugged, responded for Jia Tianzi: "Okay, we’re taking action immediately."

.

Shi Nian and Nisha were dragged into the back room.

)

Shi Nian quickly hugged Nisha: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Nisha was still trapped in the previous nightmare, she trembled with tears: "...He said he really liked me, said my eyes were beautiful. He bought my drugs, bought a lot. He took the drugs and then wouldn’t let me leave. He said he wanted me to do hand drawings for him... I prepared the Henna, he was very obedient, sitting still, letting me draw him. I drew very seriously, but somehow, he suddenly started to convulse, and he, he just collapsed right in front of me!"

"Hour, I swear I didn’t do anything to him. I can’t be in trouble, or all my daughters will starve."

.

At this moment, Tang Yanqing and Jia Tianzi had already circled around the hall, Tang Yanqing looked through his sunglasses at the guests wearing masks in the hall.

Father was exceedingly attentive, "This is private property, we are hosting a private gathering. Everyone present is a private guest of ours. Sir, there’s been no report from us here, I think this must be a misunderstanding."

Jia Tianzi negotiated with Father, while Tang Yanqing sniffed like a police dog, then suddenly resolutely headed toward the corridor leading to the back door.

Father was taken aback: "Sir, please stop. The area behind is private residential property, not even agents can enter freely!"

Tang Yanqing gave him a backward glance with a smile, but his feet didn’t stop, following the lingering scent in the air, leading him to the room where Shi Nian and Nisha were held.
