Chapter 277: Let Me Serve You
About three minutes later, the door to the room opened again.
This time, a young and beautiful woman in her twenties entered. She had bright eyes, pearly white teeth, and skin as smooth as cream.
She was dressed in a nurse's uniform and carried a medical kit in her hand.
When the woman saw Xiao Ye, her eyes lit up.
'I didn't expect this client to be a young, handsome guy,' she thought. 'Looks like I've hit the jackpot.'
The woman approached the bed, knelt on the floor, and adopted an incredibly fawning posture.
"Hello, sir. I'm Jiaojiao, number 301. I'll be the one serving you now."
Xiao Ye frowned. "And what service will you be providing?"
"A massage." The woman smiled seductively, her hand moving to Xiao Ye's belt. "Sir, our massages are very special. You'll need to take off your pants."
"All of them?"
"Yes."
The woman feigned a bit of shyness. Combined with the innocent-looking makeup she wore, it was a look that could easily pique a man's interest.
Especially older men.
"Don't worry, sir. I guarantee I'll make you feel very comfortable."
As she spoke, her small hand tried to continue, but Xiao Ye brushed it away. "That won't be necessary. You can go."
"Go?" The woman was taken aback, apparently not expecting Xiao Ye to refuse her. "Did I do something wrong? Sir, why are you telling me to leave?"
'Everyone who comes to the third and fourth floors is here for the women. Otherwise, what couldn't they do downstairs?'
Xiao Ye made an excuse. "You're not my type."
The woman's eyes instantly turned red. "Sir, please don't send me away. Otherwise, my supervisor will definitely chew me out."
"If I did something wrong, I can change."
She tried to press her body against Xiao Ye, hoping to use her soft curves to arouse his sympathy.
However, Xiao Ye didn't fall for it at all. He didn't give her a chance to get close, pushing her away directly.
"I'll say it again. Get out!"
Biting her lip, the woman left, extremely reluctant.
Xiao Ye stood up and walked to the opposite wall.
He had noticed something was off here earlier. Sure enough, there was a well-hidden camera by the power outlet.
If he hadn't swept his phone's flashlight over it, he really wouldn't have found it.
Xiao Ye did a full sweep. So far, he had confirmed a good four or five cameras in the room.
They covered the large bed that dominated the room, as well as the bathroom.
There was even one on the ceiling.
No matter what you did, it would be captured in crystal clear detail!
'Looks like there's more to this nightclub than meets the eye,' he thought. 'Setting up so many cameras means one of two things.'
'First, they want to collect blackmail material, just like that underground club run by the Xiao Family in the Imperial City.'
'You can probably find places like this in every major city.'
'Second, they sell the recorded videos on foreign websites. There are already plenty of rackets that make money from this kind of voyeurism.'
'They've even formed a hidden industrial chain around it.'
Xiao Ye took out his phone and told Yuan Tiancheng to run a thorough check on this nightclub.
Another five minutes passed.
This time, it was the middle-aged beauty in the cheongsam. She wore a smile, showing no dissatisfaction with Xiao Ye's previous actions.
"Mr. Yuan, my sincerest apologies. I thought someone as young as you would prefer the college-student type."
"It seems I overstepped my bounds. Since you didn't like the last one, I've brought all the others over for you to choose from yourself."
Seeing Xiao Ye nod, she clapped her hands.
A group of women filed in, filling the entire room.
Every one of them was beautiful; their looks and figures were definitely top-tier.
They were all dressed in different styles, lined up to be chosen like merchandise on a shelf.
There were mature women in sexy, provocative outfits, as well as girls in sailor-style uniforms with their hair in pigtails.
In short, every style was represented, and all of them were gorgeous.
Xiao Ye's gaze swept across the women's faces one by one.
He had a good memory. He remembered the girls who were adopted from the orphanage, and the bone structure of a few of them actually matched the women standing before him!
'In other words, the pretty girls who were adopted back then were basically all sent here.'
'As for the others, they must have been adopted from different orphanages.'
Xiao Ye suppressed his anger and picked one of the girls who had been taken from the orphanage.
She was wearing a cheongsam with simple, elegant makeup, looking like a classic beauty from the river towns of Jiangnan.
The middle-aged beauty led the other women away, and the room returned to silence.
The woman quickly came to Xiao Ye's side, her voice crisp and clear. "Sir, would you like to take a bath first? I can attend to you."
"Is your role a woman from the Republican era?"
The woman hadn't expected him to see through it. "That's right. Sir, how did you know?"
"Your manner of speaking is very similar to what you'd see in movies from that period."
The woman pressed her lips together, her smile shy. "Let me serve you."
Xiao Ye stopped her hand. "Not so fast. I have a few questions for you."
He took a box from his pocket. When he opened it, it revealed a necklace with a dazzlingly brilliant diamond. Any woman who saw it would likely be instantly captivated.
"I assume you know its value. As long as you answer a few questions for me, I'll give this necklace to you."
"And don't worry, I've activated a jammer. The cameras here won't be able to see or hear what we're doing."
The woman was startled. It was only then that she finally realized there was more to Xiao Ye than met the eye.
She stood up to leave. "I'm terribly sorry, I don't know what you mean, and I can't answer any of your questions."
Xiao Ye wasn't worried. "If you leave now, I'll just find another way to learn what I want to know."
"Especially since I've turned on this jammer. When someone comes to collect the recordings from this room and finds they can't see anything, who do you think they'll suspect?"
"'Every man for himself,' as they say. This diamond necklace can be sold for millions. You'd be set for the rest of your life."
The woman was tempted. Working in a den of debauchery like this, she of course knew how important money was.
But living here, she didn't get to keep a single cent.
Only after turning thirty would she get the money she had earned over the years, including what she made today.
"What... what do you want to know?" The woman was clearly still hesitant. "I don't know much."
"Don't worry, I won't ask you for anything top-secret. I know you wouldn't be in the loop."
Hearing this, the woman breathed a small sigh of relief. "Then go ahead and ask."
Xiao Ye looked at her, thinking of the photograph from the orphanage. The person in the photo and the woman before him were two completely different people.
"What time do you come to work here every day?"
The woman was stunned, not expecting Xiao Ye to ask such a simple question. "I'm here every day."
Xiao Ye had only intended to ask a casual question, hoping to put the woman at ease and slowly coax the information he wanted out of her with mundane topics.
But her answer shocked him.
"Then you don't go home? You don't have an identity outside of this place?"
"No. I live here. This is my home. I don't have an identity. I've never even seen my own ID card."
