"Where's Xiong Jun!" one of them shouted at the female technician.

Two female technicians crouched in the corner, too scared to speak, trembling and crying.

Seeing this, the three didn't ask further and immediately began searching the room.

The private room wasn't very big, including the bathroom it totaled about thirty square meters.

One of them pushed open the bathroom door and immediately saw Brother Xiong curled up inside the wooden bath barrel.

"Found him!" The burly man kicked over the bath barrel, and Brother Xiong, like a catfish slapped onto the shore, rolled on the tiles wearing only shorts.

As he tried to get up, someone ruthlessly stomped on the back of his neck.

"Wait! Wait!" Brother Xiong shouted hastily, "Buddy, you need money or work done? If it's money, name your price, I'll give it to you right away, if it's work..."

"I need nothing from you!" Before Brother Xiong could finish, a foot kicked him in the face, his head slammed into the tile, and a gash on his forehead started oozing blood.

A burly man stepped forward, grabbed the fat flesh on the back of his neck, and hauled him out of the bathroom, causing Brother Xiong to cry in pain.

But the three didn't care much, dragging him to the hallway and gave him a thorough beating, lasting a good three minutes, directly knocking Brother Xiong unconscious.

Even so, they exercised some restraint, not targeting vital spots, otherwise Brother Xiong wouldn't have lasted even three seconds.

After the beating, two of them each grabbed one of Brother Xiong's arms and dragged him like a dead dog towards the elevator.

In the lobby, those followers who saw their boss's miserable state were scared silent, those in pain and groaning ceased complaining.

These men acted swiftly and left quickly, adeptly tossing Brother Xiong at the doorstep of the club before darting to a parked van in the distance.

The van's engine was kept running, as soon as they got in, the exhaust pipe spewed a burst of blue smoke, disappearing swiftly down the street.

Seeing the tough guys leave, the club's staff finally dared to come out trembling, all shocked at Brother Xiong's state.

"Quick... Get him to the hospital!"

Although it wasn't peak visiting hours, there were always guests willing to soak 24/7 at the club, so many people pulled out phones and began recording for social media.

"Holy shit! Everyone..."

After a while, two police cars finally arrived belatedly...

Half an hour later, Chen Wei stopped the van in a surveillance blind spot, got out and changed the license plate, then instructed the five burly men: "Split up, find a place to stay, wait for my call."

"Got it."

They were quite efficient, not saying any unnecessary words, immediately heading off in different directions.

After everyone left, Chen Wei got back in the car, drove another ten minutes, finally reaching a vast wasteland filled with abandoned cars.

...

Meanwhile, a black Audi slowly drove out of the city government courtyard.

Inside the car, the secretary sitting in the passenger seat turned to report: "Chen from Puxin District is making quite a move, mobilizing a lot of resources against Ji."

"Some people below want to hear your opinion, whether to intervene."

Sitting in the back, the glasses-wearing middle-aged man slowly shook his head: "They're conducting a lawful and compliant inspection, why intervene? Tell them to focus on their work."

"Understood." The secretary instantly grasped the leader's stance, hesitated briefly, then tentatively said: "Only Chen is stepping up, it doesn't seem to be from the opposition."

"Hehe, don't mind those things, Ji has been overstepping the bounds lately, it's time to wake him up."
