Outside the grand entrance of the Golden Splendor Nightclub, a van slowly approached. The door swung open, and a bloody 'corpse' was tossed out onto the ground.
The hostesses standing at the entrance screamed in terror, their faces pale with shock. Their cries quickly alerted the burly men in black vests guarding the area—members of the Blue Wolf Syndicate, responsible for security outside. The bustling Golden Splendor Nightclub was, in fact, the Syndicate's headquarters.
A dozen Blue Wolf Syndicate members rushed over, each wielding black batons and knives. They surrounded the van, and one of them checked the 'corpse' on the ground, then shouted in alarm, "It's Country Grunt! The people in the van killed Country Grunt! Don't let them get away!"
These Syndicate members weren't core insiders, so they had no idea that Country Grunt was actually an undercover Interpol agent. They encircled the van tightly, while a minor leader dashed into the club to report the incident to Hugo Hu in the office.
Less than three minutes later, Hugo Hu and Leo Chen burst out with a group of Syndicate members, both looking grim. They immediately spotted Country Grunt's bloody 'corpse' on the ground. Hugo Hu frowned, silently cursing, as he and Leo Chen hurried over to the van.
Just then, the van door opened again. Juice King, wearing an open Chinese jacket and black beach shorts, shivered as he stepped out, a cigar dangling from his lips. He had one arm around the trembling Qianqian Liu and the other around the pale-faced Zhengfeng Liu, swaggering off the van.
"Ah! Juice King is back! That's— that's great, we've been worried about you for so long!" Hugo Hu quickly put on a smile and greeted Juice King.
"What? Old man Hu, are you doubting my character? You think I'd pull a double-cross and steal your business? Huh?" Juice King squinted at Hugo Hu and blew a smoke ring in his face, looking utterly cocky.
"Damn it! You—" Leo Chen, standing next to Hugo Hu, couldn't stand Juice King's attitude and rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach him a lesson.
Hugo Hu quickly pulled him back, stepping in front of Leo Chen with a forced smile. "Me? I wouldn't dare doubt you, Juice King! Leo and I were just worried about you, haha. But Juice King, dumping Country Grunt's traitorous body at the Golden Splendor entrance puts me in a tough spot!"
Juice King sneered, "Difficult? Ha! What's so difficult about this? Let me teach you—just call 110 and have the cops come pick up the body. Country Grunt is one of theirs, and his identity can't be revealed anyway. The police have no proof you killed him. Hell, they might even give you a Good Citizen Award!"
Hugo Hu pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, we'll do as Juice King says!"
With that, Hugo Hu called over a manager-looking guy and told him to phone the police immediately. Then he glanced at the kidnapped Qianqian Liu and 'Zhengfeng Liu,' and cautiously said to Juice King, "Juice King, you really are something! Both Liu family hostages are in our hands now. But it's way too conspicuous out here. Let's head inside first."
Juice King just grinned wickedly and pulled Qianqian Liu close, his hand squeezing her shapely rear with force. "Ah!" Qianqian Liu shrieked, trembling all over, her face a picture of fear.
Juice King laughed, "Heh, Hugo, check out this Liu family babe! She's exactly my type. I love breaking in top-tier girls like her. Get me a deluxe playroom ready—I want to have some real fun with her tonight!"
At that moment, 'Zhengfeng Liu' played along and cursed Juice King, "You sick freak! If you touch my sister, I'll kill you myself!"
Juice King just sneered, grabbed 'Zhengfeng Liu' by the chest, and dragged him (her) over. He said menacingly, "Oh yeah? Then I'll mess with your sister right in front of you. Let's see how you kill me! Hahaha!"
Standing behind Hugo Hu, Leo Chen interjected, "Juice King, if you want women, the Golden Splendor is packed with beauties for you. But this girl is Liu Zhengnan's precious one. Until we get the ransom, you'd better not touch her."
Juice King rolled his eyes and crooked his finger at Leo Chen, "Heh, Leo, right? Come here, come on."
Leo Chen hesitated, but stepped forward and stood next to Juice King, bracing himself. "So, Juice King, what do you want to say to me?"
Juice King took a drag of his cigar, then blew a smoke ring right in Leo Chen's face, sneering, "Heh, Leo, how do you like the taste of this Cuban cigar?"
Leo Chen's face darkened and he growled, "Damn you, bastard, that's going too far!" He swung his fist, aiming for Juice King.
But before Leo Chen's punch could land, Juice King lashed out with a lightning-fast kick—thud! Leo Chen took the blow to his gut, sent rolling across the ground by the sheer force. He spat out blood, his face turning pale, barely conscious. That kick showed just how brutal Juice King could be.
Juice King was about to go over and finish Leo Chen off, but Hugo Hu quickly stepped in, plastering on a smile and bowing. "No, no, Juice King, please, for my sake—don't stoop to his level! He's just stubborn, but I promise I'll set him straight. I'll have that deluxe playroom you wanted ready right away! Please, Juice King, come inside!"

Juice King finally nodded and sneered, "Heh, fine! I'll let it slide this time for your sake, Hugo. Make sure Leo Chen learns his lesson. Tell him: when the Thirteen Enforcers do business, little guys like him don't get to butt in. If he tries again, I'll wipe him out!"
"Absolutely, absolutely! I'll make sure Leo learns his lesson. You're generous, Juice King, not stooping to his level. I'll have the manager get you the best playroom—no one will hear a thing. Juice King, please follow our hostesses inside and have a great time." Hugo Hu called over the manager to prepare a luxury suite, then summoned two attractive hostesses to escort Juice King into Golden Splendor Nightclub for some "fun."
"Sir, our boss said you're his honored guest. He's prepared the finest 'Joyful Tonight' luxury suite for you. Please follow us inside!" The two beautiful hostesses stood on either side of Juice King, speaking sweetly.
Juice King saw the two lovely hostesses standing before him and broke into a wide grin. He wrapped a strange hand around one of their slender waists, sliding his hand up her side and into the slit of her cheongsam.
"Oh—sir, there are so many people here, it's a bit embarrassing. If you want, let's have some real fun in the suite." The pretty hostess blushed, catching Juice King's wandering hand.
Juice King chuckled, "You really know how to please a man! Liu family babe, you should learn from this beauty—see how good she is at serving men!" He lifted Qianqian Liu's chin, dragging her and 'Zhengfeng Liu' along behind the hostesses as they headed into Golden Splendor Nightclub.
