I'm Looking for Lu Zhanbei

8 PM, at the Zhunhuang Chamber.

Tong Yi entered the clubhouse and was stunned by its grand and luxurious decor.

Everything was golden in color, shining like real gold. The stunning visual impact took one's breath away.

This was the first time Tong Yi experienced the true meaning of the phrase 'extreme and great elegance'.

"F*ck, it really does live up to its reputation as 'The House of Gold'." Ling Rui's eyes were filled with shock.

Tong Yi quickly calmed herself down. She beckoned to a passing waiter and asked, "Is Lu Zhanbei here tonight?"

The waiter frowned. "You're looking for Master Bei?"

Tong Yi frowned in confusion. 'Master Bei?'

"Yes, yes, yes." Ling Rui quickly pulled the waiter aside with a smile and stuffed a few notes into the waiter's hands. "We have an appointment with Master Bei but we forgot the room number. As you know, Master Bei has a bad temper, so we wouldn't dare to ask him. Please help us and let us know."

The waiter silently stuffed the money into his pocket and looked back and forth between Ling Rui and Tong Yi. "Have you really made an appointment with Master Bei?"

Tong Yi turned her head to look elsewhere.

Ling Rui said, "Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to ask about Master Bei's whereabouts."

The waiter nodded and whispered something into Ling Rui's ear before leaving.

Ling Rui cocked his head towards Tong Yi and gave her a I-am-smart-aren't-I look.

She had never been good at such a slick way of handling things, nor could she learn it. Otherwise, she would not have remained a C-list actress after two years in the entertainment industry.

Tong Yi gave Ling Rui a thumbs up and walked toward the elevator.

'Sister Yi praised him?!'

Ling Rui was stunned for a moment. Then, like a child who had just been given approval, he tagged along happily.

At the door of the innermost private room on the third-floor corridor, Tong Yi was about to knock when Ling Rui stopped her. "Wait."

Tong Yi looked at Ling Rui in confusion. "What's wrong?"

Ling Rui looked around. "Well, this is my first time here. I want to play around, so I won't go in with you."

In the dazzling corridor, the light shone on Ling Rui's guilty expression.

Tong Yi suddenly recalled the scene at the police station's entrance. When she went to the police station to talk to Lu Zhanbei, Ling Rui had chosen to stay in the car instead of entering the police station with her. Once Lu Zhanbei left, he appeared.

Also, when Lu Zhanbei had appeared in the hotel's basement parking lot, he suddenly disappeared. Once Lu Zhanbei left, he appeared again.

Could it be… " Are you afraid of Lu Zhanbei?"

"Who… who's afraid of him?" Ling Rui stubbornly said.

Tong Yi's lips curled up slightly. "No one. Go play. I'll call you when we leave."

"Okay." Ling Rui retracted his foot and looked at Tong Yi. "I'm really not afraid of him."

"Yeah, I know."

Ling Rui looked at Tong Yi suspiciously for a few seconds before leaving with a frown. As he left, he muttered, "When have I ever been afraid of anyone?"

Tong Yi raised her hand and knocked on the door. She waited for a few seconds. Hearing no response, she pushed the door open.

A man in a suit came into view. It looked like he had come to the door and was about to open it before she did. When he saw her, he frowned. "Who are you?"

Tong Yi's gaze swept past the man as she looked inside the private room. A rosewood screen blocked her view, and she could vaguely see several figures sitting behind the screen.

It was about a hundred meters from the door to the rosewood screen. No wonder he took so long to open the door.

"What are you looking at? You should not be here. Get out!" With one hand against the door frame, the man was prepared to close the door.

Tong Yi pressed her hand against the door. "I'm looking for Lu Zhanbei."
