Chapter 297 never last long (1/2)
Across the city from Imperial Military Hospital is a residential area with substandard housing that is poorly serviced and overcrowded.
Just one look and one can see how unhealthy, unsafe and socially undesirable this area is.
Amongst the crowd of people wondering in the area, a scrawny man is seen moving in a fast pace.
His head turning side to side as if he is searching for someone, but looking closer, he is actually checking his surroundings.
As he walks to the end of the slum area, he stops in front of an extremely rundown building.
He looks around again and seeing no one is following him, he quickly pushes the door open and enter.
A dark hallway with no windows greets him inside.
The walls are so old that cracks are visible to the eyes. The only light the allows the man to see inside is the light coming in through the door he had entered.
Anyone who enters this building will be reminded of a scene in a horror film, however, the man walks forward.
After walking a distance, he comes to a stop in front the only door inside the rundown building. Hanging over the door is a flickering light that looks like it will blow out in any minute.
Lifting one hand, he knocks on the door, but before his hand can touch the door, he stops.
Turning his head, he checks his surrounding again for confirmation that he was not followed.
After a thorough check, he finally knocks on the door.
*knock*
He knocks once, then pause.
After counting three seconds in his head, he knocks again, but this time, he did it in a set of three.
*knock knock knock *
*click*
Just when he finishes the last knock, the lock on the door unlocks it from the inside.
The door is open ajar and poking from behind the door is half the face of a man.
”Name.”
This person's voice is deep and hoarse like someone who has inflammation in his vocal cords. The scrawny man does not hesitate and quickly answers the man.
”Gongji.”
The man standing behind the door opens the door and allow the man name Gonji to enter.
As Gonji enters the room, he is met with a tall bulky man with a deep scar of his left eye.
Stepping away from the door, he sees that the entire room is cover in thick layers of smoke. However, he can see that in every corner of the room is a group of people.
Men laughing as they are either drinking or taking drugs, while prostitutes dance service their needs. Music is playing so loud that he cannot hear what anyone is saying except for their mouth moving.
”This way.”
The tall bulky man spoke as his figure walks pass Gongji.
Looking away from the people, Gonji quickly follows the tall bulky man. After all, he did not come here for entertainment.
The two individuals walk pass the groups of people and enter another door in the back of the room.
Instead of entering a room right away, it is another dark hallway with stairs leading down to what looks like a basement.
Walking down the stairs, they stop in front of the door.
Gonji stood behind the tall bulky man and his cheeks flush red.
From behind the close door, he can hear the faint moaning of a woman and the groan of a man.
Anyone who hears this can already guess what is going on inside.
He glance at the tall bulky man and seeing how the noise is not affecting him, Gonji quickly steady himself.
The tall bulky man pays no attention to the noise inside and knocks on the door three times.
”Boss, Gonji is here.”
The door does not open, but Gonji can hear a loud moan of a woman's voice. From his judgement, the woman probably reached her Climax.
And just as he thought of this, the door in front of them clicks open and a shirtless man comes to view. He gives Gonji a deadly look before walking away from the door.
Gonji gulp and quickly enters the room while the tall bulky man turn to walk up the stairs.
Inside the room. Gonji sees an attractive woman with long red hair sitting on the couch. He grins with a hungry smile as he thought, she must be the woman who was moaning earlier since she's fixing her clothes.
This woman's moan sounded so pleasant to the ear, seeing her now, she must be as delicious as her voice.
”Gonji, you better have good news for disturbing me.”
Breaking Gonji's line of thoughts, the shirtless man spoke as he sits down on a chair.
He doesn't care about the lustful look in Gonji's eyes and takes out a cigar to smoke.
Hearing the man, Gonji looks away from the woman and stares at the shirtless man. Taking a step forward the lustful expression he had disappears and he scratch his head.
”Sorry to disturb you, boss, but I do have good news for you.”
He grins widely and takes a seat in an empty chair.
”Boss, I got words of who is looking for you.”
Hearing these words, the shirtless man arches a brow at Gongji. He blazes the cigar in his hand and takes a puff.
”Who?”
Gongji smiles like a person who is about to recieve the great award. He does not beat around the bush and gets straight to the point.
”Lu Tian.”
”Lu Tian?”
