Chapter 175 Part 1: Countess (2/2)

Entering the ‘Terrence Brothers’ rental company, Chen Xiaolian and Roddy gave the pretence that they wanted to rent a yacht. Soon, a dedicated staff member came over to introduce their ships. The two of them held back their feelings of impatience and put on an act of checking the ships out. It did not take much and they soon found the yacht that had appeared on the video in one of the pictures shown.

After inquiring about the yacht from the staff member, the fellow went to inquire about the yacht. The staff member then regrettably informed them that the yacht had already been rented out.

Chen Xiaolian exchanged looks with Roddy – it appeared that they have found what they were looking for!

The following was much easier.

Roddy stepped forward and used money to buy off the staff member. And thus, they were able to acquire the information regarding the customer who had rented the yacht.

They acquired an address and a telephone number.

“Kensington…” As he walked out from the boat rental company, Chen Xiaolian inspected the address they acquired.

It was one of the famous spots in London for the rich.

The four of them then drove toward the address.

After over an hour, the four of them stopped the car outside a club that was clearly meant for the rich.

“The address seems to indicate this place,” The four of them looked at the building situated before them. It appeared to be a newly constructed building. Its outer surface was able to successfully blend the appearance of both modern and classic styles together.

This club for the rich was generally similar to those organizations like jockey clubs. The club can offer many services, including accommodation services.

“Could Qiao Qiao and Soo Soo be held here by their father?” Roddy let off a whistle.

Chen Xiaolian glanced at the time.

It was presently eleven in the morning.

“Lun Tai, Bei Tai, stay in the car. Roddy and I will enter to check it out. Keep the walkie-talkies on. If anything happens, Lun Tai is to rush in to help. Bei Tai will stay in the car to keep it ready at all times,” Chen Xiaolian made up his mind. “Since the soft approach won’t do, we’ll have to go with the hard approach!”

Roddy laughed. “Are you sure about this? Are you not afraid of offending your future father-in-law?”

Chen Xiaolian glared at him.

The both of them got off the car and walked into the club. However, they encountered an obstacle when they were in the lobby.

Apparently, this place was for members only. A middle-aged man wearing suit with the aura of a British butler stopped them. After a simple inquiry, he found that the two of them were not members and he denied them entry.

Chen Xiaolian glanced at Roddy who produced a mobile phone and showed the pictures of Qiao Qiao and Soo Soo, attempting to get some information from the man.

However, the man politely but firmly refused to provide any information. Despite Roddy’s attempt to bribe him off, the British butler had firmly rejected him. After toughening his stance toward the two of them, he showed them out.

“Go walk around from the outside and see if there is any way to get inside.”

Chen Xiaolian pulled Roddy out from the lobby and out of the club. After they reached the outside area, they prepared to circle around the club to check out the layout of the area.

It was then that a black coloured Rolls Royce slowly reached the front door of the club. After the car came to a halt, the chauffeur moved down and walked to the back of the car to open the door.

A slender and tall figure emerged from inside the car.

She wore grey-coloured clothes with a black-coloured long skirt, which appeared traditional in style. However, due to the tight design of the long skirt, her beautiful figure became evident.

A grey-haired middle-aged butler followed by her side while maintaining a distance of half a step behind her.

An exquisite pair of eyes turned about unintentionally and they happened to fall upon Chen Xiaolian and Roddy’s backs. The pair of exquisite eyes immediately narrowed.

She frowned and the middle-aged butler quickly stepped forward. The woman then whispered into his ear while her eyes moved to indicate Chen Xiaolian and Roddy who was not too far away. The butler then nodded his head.

The woman walked into the club. The butler on the other hand, went to the person-in-charge of admitting entrance to the club and discussed something with him in hushed voices.

If Chen Xiaolian were to turn his head around at this time, he would immediately recognize the woman. She was…

Miao Yan [2]!

…

“The two of them came looking for information. They also tried bribing for it, but were rejected.”

A few minutes later, Miao Yan was seated within a lounge, holding onto a cup of red Ceylon tea with her slender fingers as she listened to the report by her middle-aged butler.

“Oh?”

Miao Yan’s eyes were calm. She gently placed down the cup of tea that she was holding. Slowly, a look of deliberation appeared on her face.

“They were looking for two Asian Chinese girls,” The middle-aged butler said in a low tone. “Mistress, should I contact the security personnel to take care of it?”

“Not at the moment,” Miao Yan said coolly. Thinking further into it, she continued. “I remember meeting him before in Tokyo. There, he had mistaken me for someone else. Hmm, it was at the elevator in the Tokyo’s Mandarin Oriental Hotel.”

“Then, what should I do?” The middle-aged butler slowly said.

Miao Yan considered the issue. Suddenly, a complicated expression flashed across her eyes. She took a deep breath and said. “Go out and invite those two gentlemen over. I wish to talk with them.”

The middle-aged butler hesitated for a moment. However, seeing the look of determination in the mistress’ eyes, he sighed. With a slight bow, he turned around and left.

1. ‘Like fish in water’ means getting to befriend people who have the same wavelength as you or being in a comfortable environment.

2. Miao Yan is the High-class Player who first appeared in Chapter 65.
