What worried Chu Li was that Xiao Ye was still not in the store. Grandma Ye's face was very haggard, as if she was much older. Seeing Chu Li, beckoning him to sit down, after greeting him for warmth, he went to the kitchen to prepare white chopped chicken rice for him, Chu Li heard the bang, and hurriedly walked into the kitchen, the ground was full of debris, Grandma Ye said indifferently, and broke a soup bowl.

There will be almost no guests, and after giving the rent money to Grandma Ye, Chu Li asked Grandma Ye where Xiao Ye went.

Grandma Ye's kind wrinkles were originally crooked, but suddenly the furrows were flat and straight, her eyes dimmed, and she moved her lips, looking like she wanted to say something.

Chu Li stretched out his hands and held Grandma Ye's hands tightly. Grandma Ye subconsciously shrank back.

"Is something wrong with Xiaoye?"

"Pretty boy, we really have no choice." Grandma Ye burst into tears. "How can you be so dignified and live like this!"

"Isn't the bill already paid off?"

"How can you pay it off?" The trembling voice was like crying, "Decrepit boy, poison eating, I owe hundreds of thousands." I've already transferred the house you live in to someone else. Still not enough. ”

"What about Xiaoye people?"

"The loan shark asked her to go to work in a nightclub. ...... to repay the debt, otherwise her father will be dead......" Grandma Ye shook Chu Li's arm, "What do you say?" I can't help it. “

Chu Li felt a punch from his chest, and a sharp pain caught him off guard. "She's still a ...... Child! “

"I know, how could I not know? My coffin is gone, and I can't pay it off. If she didn't go, her father wouldn't have survived. ”

"It's illegal to lend usury, we can call the police!"

"Don't!" Shaking off Chu Li's hands vigorously, Grandma Ye glared at Chu Li fiercely, "Do you think the police can help everyone?" When she called the police, Lao Dou threw herself into the street. Lobules can also be dangerous. You don't know them, you can do anything. ”

"But isn't Xiaoye going to be destroyed now? It's not fair to her. ”

"You know what fairness is! You do your job well, it's fine, come and be nosy! She approached suddenly, and then stretched out her thin hands to push Chu Li.

Chu Li stood at the door of the store and watched Grandma Ye turn around and wipe her tears. Slowly re-enter the store.

"I'm going to bring her back."

"You're going to die, do you know?"

"What nightclub is she in?"

"Chu Li, don't mess around! You're going to die. If something happens to you, how can I explain it to your family? You couldn't help us, so you took yourself in! “

"Grandma Ye, don't think about this, you have to do it. You have to tell me everything. How much money is owed? Where are the leaflets? Who are the creditors? “

"Don't be so reckless, I don't want you to do this favor. I'm tired of you, don't I want the sky to thunder? When the time comes, Ye Han will have an accident! ”

"Then you tell me, I'll go and see how Xiao Ye is, if anyone is bullying her, I won't cause trouble. If something happens to me, I probably won't be able to help Xiao Ye, so I won't mess around. ”

Grandma Ye was skeptical, but Chu Li said that she was in her heart, and she couldn't get in touch in the past few weeks. If you don't take a look, your old bones will be explained soon.

"My street boy, in fact, didn't borrow a lot of money, and paid back the previous ones. Thought it was okay. Who knew that he later became addicted to drugs and went to borrow money again. ”

"How much did you borrow?"

"He went home last month and said that he had borrowed 200,000 yuan and asked for 30,000 yuan in interest every month."

"When did you borrow it?"

"I've been borrowing it for almost a year. If you calculate it, it will be almost 600,000 with interest. My house was mortgaged to someone else, and he took the money. There are still 200,000 yuan left to pay off, but the monthly interest is still calculated at 30,000 yuan, so we have no money. Huang Hongli said that if Xiao Ye goes to work, then the interest will not be repaid. ”

"How long has Xiao Ye been there?"

"More than a month."

Chu Xing jumped up wildly, more than a month ago, Xiao Ye's various abnormal behaviors in his room were probably because he thought that he would lose his body when he went to the nightclub. Now that it has been more than a month, Xiao Ye estimates that it is inevitable......

"Grandma Ye, the nightclub is not in Houjie, right?"

Grandma Ye nodded and ran into the kitchen. Banyu took out a business card. Hand it to Chu Li.

Warm Harbor Senior Business Club, Zhongtang Town. Public Relations Manager, Dai Yue.

Grandma Ye watched Chu Li carefully put away her business card. said, "It's enough time to eat, I'll clean it up and get the chicken rice for you." “

In fact, Chu Li had no appetite, but he was afraid that Grandma Ye would see his anxiety. When Grandma Ye brought it out, Chu Li was drinking tea with his head down, looking very calm.

There were a few customers in the store, and seeing that Chu Li had already started eating, he hurriedly got busy in the kitchen.

After a while, Chu Li lifted the curtain and entered the kitchen and put the dishes in the sink. "Grandma, I'm going back, you take care of yourself. I'll come to see you if there's something to do. “

"Be careful, don't be impulsive. Look at Xiaoye, come back if you're fine. You're already an adult, I know you're good-hearted, but don't do anything stupid. “

Chu Li nodded and walked out.

Later, it folded back again. "Grandma, where is Xiao Ye's father?"

"Leave him alone, he can't die. He was locked up by my brother. I won't borrow money to eat poison anymore. We plan to send him to a drug rehabilitation center in Huizhou. “

Chu Li did not go back to Chang'an, but went directly to the middle hall by car.

The central hall is in the northwest corner of Dongguan, very close to Guangzhou. But it's farther from Houjie. Although it is close to Guangzhou, the development here is not good. There was a smell similar to lime in the streets. The streets are also dirty. Because I haven't been to this place, I don't know where the warm harbor is, but fortunately, there are a lot of people on the street who ride motorcycles to pick up customers, and one of them said for a long time but he didn't understand it at all. It wasn't until later that the other party said that 10 yuan could be sent to him. After getting on the bus, Chu Li found that it was not far from the station where he got off, and he spent a little effort to memorize the road, but he knew that he was pitted by this motorcycle master, because it was only three or five minutes to walk.

Warm Harbor is a free-standing five-storey building. The foyer is unremarkable, with two sturdy men in black suits smoking and chatting. All the windows are closed, and the pink curtains inside reveal a seductive mystery. Chu Li swaggered forward, and the two men in black tacitly greeted him.

"Boss, is there something wrong?"

"Consumption."

"First time? We're membership."

"Damn, I just want to push a lot of oil and make a full set. Do you have one?"

"Push oil?" The two men looked at each other and smiled, "You think we're here at a hair salon?"

"Then it's always okay to buy a clock, right?"

The fat man in black lowered his head and took a few puffs of cigarette before he waved his head and motioned for Chu Li to go in.

Entering the lobby, there was a well-dressed front desk with heavy makeup, looking Chu Li up and down. Chu Limu didn't squint and walked directly to the elevator. Pressing the door button, the lady suddenly said, "Third floor."

When the elevator door on the third floor opened, Chu Li was really shocked. There were two full rows of women wearing cheongsams standing in the left and right rows, and it was easy to be dazzled when there were many people, only to feel that they were all about the same, and they couldn't see the beauty or ugliness, he quickly glanced at the women on both sides, and roughly counted that there were nearly thirty people, they bowed to themselves in unison, and then said in unison: "Welcome to Warm Harbor!"

Among them, there are no Huang Jing and Xiao Ye.

A little further on, there is a resplendent front desk, with a man and a woman wearing professional suits. Then there is a large door on the left corner of the front desk, and there are bursts of singing and cheers from time to time, which seems to be a song hall. There is a spiral staircase in the middle, which can go up to the upper floors, but on the right, it is neatly arranged, one room after another. From time to time there are pairs of men and women coming in and out.

Chu Li walked to the front desk and did not speak.

"Boss, what do you want to drink?"

"What's there to drink?"

"What do you want to drink?"

“Dirty Martini“

The front desk lady obviously didn't understand, but she was too embarrassed to admit it. Pointing at the door of the ballroom and saying that there was everything inside. Then he laughed a lot.

I had no choice but to walk towards the song hall. Pushing open the door, the amount of space inside is staggering. Judging from the scale of the buildings outside, it is hard to imagine that there are caves inside. The song hall connects the third and fourth floors, with a ceiling height of nearly eight meters, and a circular stage ten meters in diameter is very bright and spacious under the spotlight. In the center of the stage is a woman wearing a black corset and black shorts, singing a Cantonese song whose name is unknown. It's not shaking your body to the rhythm. Even though there were a few drum kits in the corner of the stage and two musicians who didn't know if they were guitars or basses, the stage still seemed too big. Outside the stage, there was a circle of bars, and countless girls were standing. All of them are scantily dressed, and they wear heavy makeup.

Outside the bar, there were several tables radiating, and almost every table had one or two girls who were also scantily dressed and wearing heavy makeup.

At the outskirts, there is a circle of bar counters that are a little higher, and unlike around the stage, the service staff in this circle of bars are all standing and serving. Behind them, there are high cabinets full of all kinds of foreign wines. There are high stools next to the bar for people to sit temporarily. It's also a miscellaneous group of people sitting in twos and threes.

The wall on which the cabinet rests is not high, two meters up, is a loft-like jump to the second floor. The second floor is divided into a number of small boxes, somewhat similar to the style of a European-style opera house, each of which is hung with curtains.

Because the lighting of the stage is so white and bright, the other areas appear dim, and the faces are almost unrecognizable. I can only rely on the laser light above the dance floor, and from time to time I can flick one or two confused spots of light to get a glimpse of it in an instant.

Chu Li walked to the corner and found a high chair. Sit down and carefully inspect the faces with heavy makeup. But first, it is far away, and secondly, the thick fat powder is like a white and red mask, making it impossible to see what the face under the mask looks like. I changed several positions, tried every corner, but still couldn't find Xiao Ye or Huang Jing, or any familiar face. In fact, in my own opinion, every girl here looks similar, just like the products made under the assembly line in the factory, carved out of a mold, the same size, the same material, the same function, and the same quality.

"Sir, would you like something to drink?" A long-haired woman with heavy makeup and an exaggerated bunny ear headband came over dragging a plate with some wine on it.

"Give it to me...... Let's have a can of beer. ”

"Do you have a membership card? "The girl kept getting closer to herself, and she could almost smell the breath in her mouth when she spoke.

"Nope."

"Then please pay 100 in cash, thank you."

A beer 100, Chu Li smiled bitterly. Hand the girl money.

The girl put it away, it seemed that the transaction was not over, looked at Chu Li, and asked, "Do you want to find a beautiful girl to talk to?" ”

"Are there any new arrivals?"

"What type does the boss like?"

"Pretty and thin."

"We're all pretty here." The girl smiled, "Wait a minute. After saying that, he turned around and twisted his waist and left. Chu Li was surprised to see that there was a fluffy tail behind her buttocks, half-cocked and half-drooping. It turned out that her headband was not rabbit ears, like a cat or a fox.

Chu Li took a sip of beer, and it ran down his throat coldly, maybe it was really a little different from the 5 yuan beer outside? I looked at my watch, and it was past seven o'clock in the evening. There are no windows, and you can't see if the sun is setting. The coldness of the beer makes me extra vigilant, but it also seems to be infiltrated by the coldness in my bones.

A very thin but not tall girl walked over. Painted with smoky makeup like dark circles, it is particularly weird to be set off by the excessive powder on the face.

Chu Li tried to imagine what she looked like without makeup, but it was absolutely in vain. But it's definitely not Xiaoye, after all, the height is a little different.

"Pretty boy, can you please give me a glass of water?"

"No problem."

The girl also leaned on the high stool, but it was really a little out of reach, so she could only put half of her ass on the bench, and the other foot stood on tiptoe to successfully send the other half of her ass up.

Chu Li laughed embarrassedly, and the girl slapped his chest with her fist and said, "What are you doing?" Do you dislike me for being short? “

"No, no, I think you're very clever and cute."

"The pretty boy's mouth is so sweet, do you want to play dice?"

"What's so fun about that?" Chu Li hid the fact that he didn't know how to play bar dice.

"Then guess the fist, right?"

"Why don't we talk?"

The girl seemed to be a little disappointed, pursed her mouth, stretched out her foot, and scraped Chu Li's calf with her toes.

Chu Li smiled, stretched out his hand to stop the fox sister, and asked for a bottle of beer. The girl with dark circles said, "What's the point of beer, have a glass of wine." He took himself a glass of wine. The fox sister happily stretched out her hand, "Pretty boy, 200".

The girl's legs were about to touch her thighs, Chu Centrifugal thought, if she didn't hold on tightly, she was still entangled here, and immediately took out two hundred yuan and gave them to the fox sister, who flicked her tail and squeezed into the crowd.

"How many beautiful girls do we have?"

"More than two hundred, what?"

"Do you know someone named Xiaoye?"

"I don't know, how good is you?" The girl replied nonchalantly.

"That Huang Jing, have you heard of it?"

"Nope." The girl stopped moving on her feet, "You're so bored, come here to find a good match." ”

"Are you new here?"

"yes, what's wrong? Didn't Xiaohui say that you want to be a new person? "Xiaohui is probably the fox sister just now.

"And how long have you been here?"

"Two weeks." The girl was impatient, "Are you a strip?" ”

"Isn't it just chatting?"

"We have rules here, if a guest inquires about this, asks about that, we have to report it. Be careful! The girl looked at Chu Li out of the corner of her eyes, and then smiled and took a sip of red wine. But seeing that you are such a beautiful boy, and you invite me to drink, I just don't report you. But play whatever you want, don't ask~"

Chu Li thought about it, this girl is estimated to be really new. Everything goes according to the rules, and you may not know anything. There's no need to waste time on her.

Drew two hundred dollars and handed it to her.

The other party was so polite, collected the money and left. After a few seconds, he turned back again, smiled at Chu Li, and took the 200 yuan glass of red wine.
