“I’m not too sure about the details. I only just found out about this news,” Lin Yan said apologetically.

He took a tissue and gently wiped Hu Jian’s tears.

After Hu Jian calmed down, he continued, “A friend of mine, who was a military doctor, suddenly went to prison. In his statement, he mentioned that they were producing an illegal Paralytic Serum and sold it to a lot of people. Your father included…”

The Paralytic Serum was also known to be another version of the Sealed Needle, Happy Drug.

The Sealed Needle could only stop pain, but the Paralytic Serum was addictive. It even had hallucinogenic effects. Its price was even half of the Sealed Needle.

Hu Jian once thought that it could no longer be considered a simple drug, but a narcotic drug.

In her previous life, Hu Jian was always injured due to all kinds of fights related to trade. If she had time to recuperate, she would use a good anesthetic. If she did not have time, she would either use the Sealed Needle or just grit her teeth and carry on.

She had also accidentally found the Paralytic Serum at her subordinate’s place.

During one of the training sessions, that subordinate was not in a clear state of mind and could not differentiate between friend and foe. He was very aggressive towards his surrounding.

Because Hu Jian cherished the people of the Dragon Gate Gang, she did a thorough investigation.

Without investigating, she would not have found out that almost half of the people in the Dragon Gate Gang were using this kind of counterfeit goods that were low-quality and dangerous.

Hu Jian had a bad premonition and strictly forbade the members of the gang from using this kind of thing again.

However, it was resolved by the Clan Leader in a few words. In the end, the argument only ended with the dosage being controlled and not banned.

Now that she thought about it, the incident in the Dragon Gate Gang at that time was very likely related to this kind of thing.

“Why would my father…buy this kind of thing?”

Lin Yan shook his head. “I don’t know.”

They finished their meal in silence. The incident that had happened before suddenly became unimportant.

Hu Jian desperately wanted to see Qin Heng. She had a hunch that the Dragon Gate Gang, Little Hu Jian’s father, and the Paralytic Serum had some unrevealed relations.

…

Hu Jian took a long vacation from Sister Yu and skipped class to go to the Bar that she had previously found.

In order to avoid Lin Yan, she even deliberately chose a different time.

The bar during the day was also chaotic.

Hu Jian passed through the crowd and went straight to the Bar counter to ask who the manager of the Bar was.

The Bartender looked up at her and teased, “How dare a little girl look for our manager? Don’t tell me she’s looking for our manager to take responsibility again?”

Hu Jian pulled down his face, grabbed his tie, and dragged him in front of her with one hand. “I’m not joking with you. If you delay this matter, you might get fired.”

The Bartender was shocked by her strength. He knew that she was not a simple person, so he quickly nodded and bowed. “I’m going, I’m going.”

The bartender had just taken a few steps when he heard a “Xiu” sound. The wine cabinet beside him exploded with a bang.

Broken glass flew in all directions like hidden weapons. Hu Jian saw a piece of glass heading straight for her face and quickly dodged to the side.

The bartender was not so lucky. One of the pieces directly pierced into his arm and went through him. He was bleeding profusely.

The people in the bar caused an uproar because of this sound. Soon, there was no one on the dance floor.

Hu Jian flipped her hand and pulled the person under the wooden counter. She tore open his tailcoat and bandaged his arm tightly.

“Don’t move,” she said.

She stuck her head out to look at the source of the sound. There was only one window over there that was covered by a black cloth. There was a colorful light shining on it, confusing people with a sense of beauty.

If someone really shot from there, they would be able to escape unscathed with the confusing light.

Hu Jian wanted to go out and check on the situation, but she was grabbed by the sobbing Bartender.

“I, I’m scared…”

Hu Jian: “…”

She lowered her head and asked the bartender, “Which room is your manager in?”

The bartender held back his tears and shakily pointed in a direction for her.

Hu Jian looked at him and said, “Either you stay where you are, or you follow me out. You choose.”

The sizzling sound grew louder and louder.

During the time the bartender was making his decision, the power in the Bar was out, and it was dark everywhere.

Hu Jian had a vague feeling that someone was coming.

She pulled the bartender up without saying anything, hunched down, and hid in the darkness.

They were hiding in a private room in the Bar.

Hu Jian opened the door a little and stared in the direction of the dance floor.

After a while, someone really came.

The person was wearing a black suit with a silver bird embroidered on the collar.

He glided across the dance floor gracefully like a swallow riding the wind.

He checked everywhere until he glided past Hu Jian’s room and paused. Looking through the small gap, half of his face looked very handsome.

Hu Jian recognized him almost instantly.. Her pupils constricted — how could it be him?!
