I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 268 - 180: Water Prison

The last of this money was sent to a cash merchant and then delivered to the park by the cash merchant.

And now, Manager Wu uses the same method to reverse the unsettled payment from the cash merchant to the account provided by Li Xiang.

"The money will arrive today."

Hearing Manager Wu say this, Li Xiang immediately smiled. The special fund of 500,000 finally recovered 300,000.

It's worth noting that this 500,000 cash was provided by the provincial department to rescue Shao Han. This money is the state's money, and he must find a way to fill this gap, otherwise, even if he achieves meritorious service, his bonus will be greatly reduced.

"Thank you, Manager Wu."

"With your skills, it's such a waste to work in a factory after retiring in the country. What you can't get domestically, you can get here. Stay in the park and work hard, the park won't treat you poorly."

Manager Wu believes there's no one in this world who doesn't love money. If there is, it's just because the money isn't enough.

This wave of cash temptation is sure to win over Li Xiang, after all, what job domestically pays this much:

"Got it."

"Tonight I'll take you to the Imperial Entertainment Club to relax. They have projects not available domestically, guaranteed to open your eyes."

"You guys go ahead, I'll pass."

"What man doesn't like women? What's the matter, are you unable?"

"It's not that, I'm just afraid of getting sick."

Many rich people from the country play wildly abroad and bring back illnesses.

Li Xiang had seen many cases like this when he was a police assistant.

"Don't worry, the park's management is strict here, they have regular check-ups and work with licenses, absolutely no problem."

Learning good things is difficult, but learning bad is easy.

No man who has been taken to the Imperial Entertainment Club once wouldn't be enthralled by it.

Li Xiang, finding it difficult to refuse their persuasion, agreed to join them for some fun in the evening.

At the Imperial Entertainment Club, they first booked a private room, set up a liquor array, and then a manager led hostesses out.

A row of ten, each in her own unique style.

"Gangzi, you're the hero today, you pick first."

With regular indulgence in luxury, these ordinary women couldn't excite Li Xiang.

"Wu Ge, Wen Ge, you go ahead." Li Xiang gestured with a wave.

Seeing Li Xiang not choosing, Manager Wu assumed he was dissatisfied with the batch and said, "Swap them out, bring Linda here."

"Manager Wu, Linda is unavailable today."

"Unlucky, bring in a better quality batch."

The manager brought another batch, and Manager Wu continued, "Gangzi, pick one. Enjoy and relax here, tonight's expenses are on me."

Li Xiang knew that if he didn't choose, they might bring in another batch, so he scanned over the group with a casual gaze and spotted someone he didn't find repellant.

This girl was different from the others; she wasn't trying hard to stand out, even half-hidden behind others, diminishing her presence, seemingly saying don't pick me.

"It's you. What's your name?"

"Me? I'm Mi Lu."

Mi Lu looked around, confirming it was indeed her Li Xiang called. Under envious eyes, she approached Li Xiang.

"Boss."

Mi Lu had not applied heavy makeup, just a simple brow and a bit of lipstick, no eyeshadow or mascara, giving off a relatively pure vibe, not likable per se, certainly not compared to Lin Feifei.

"Open a drink."

The details to follow are unbecoming, so let's skip them.

An hour and a half later, everyone walked out of the private room drunk, each with a beauty on arm, entering the elevator for rooms upstairs.

"Gangzi, enjoy this wonderful night."

Wen Ge gave a knowing look and entered the elevator. Li Xiang, looking at the room card in hand, found his room and swiped in.

"Tonight you'll sleep on the sofa, I'll take the bed. I'll shower first."

Li Xiang took a look at the luxurious hotel room with a sofa inside and readily gave it to her.

Having been stuck sleeping on hard wooden bunk beds for days, he long missed a big bed.

After speaking, he went to the bathroom to take a shower, ready to wash away the days of fatigue.

Mi Lu watched Li Xiang's impressive back entering the bathroom, curiosity about this man stirring inside her. In this wonderland, this park, no man had ever booked a hostess to sleep on the sofa.

To her, this was incredible.

Li Xiang's shower was quick; in just a few minutes, he was out: "You can shower now. By the way, do you have a phone?"

Mi Lu shook her head: "We're not allowed to use phones."

She bit her lip, as if making a decision, suddenly knelt before Li Xiang and cried, "Boss, can you take me away from here? I'm begging you!"

"What are you doing? Get up. I can't even leave myself."

Li Xiang was a bit helpless. Did he look that much like a good guy?

Why does everyone ask him for help? Including her, three women in the CC Park had already asked him to take them away.

He's no saint. He hasn't forgotten his mission. He can't ruin his undercover plan for a couple of women.

The best way is to gather intel on the park as quickly as possible and take down the whole operation, freeing them from the nightmare.

Knowing what's important, Li Xiang was very clear.

"If you don't agree, I won't get up. I can feel you're different from others. You must have a way to take me out of here. I'll do anything if you can take me away."

"Since you like kneeling, then just kneel. I'm going to sleep now."

Li Xiang ignored her, got into bed, and started to sleep.

Only, his ears occasionally caught some sobbing. It was Mi Lu's crying.

"Stop crying. How am I supposed to sleep?" Li Xiang, unable to sleep due to the noise, sat up: "You all came here voluntarily, didn't you? Realizing now that the environment here isn't good, you want to leave now? If you'd known, why did you come in the first place?"

When working on the 6·23 case, Li Xiang learned that those lured to Myanmar by high-paying jobs were largely aware they'd be involved in telecom scams. But finding the work difficult, they'd claim they were tricked into coming.

So, Li Xiang had little sympathy for those enticed by high salaries into coming.

"I didn't come here willingly; my best friend deceived me. I had a decent job in Hang City, earning 12,000 a month. She said she wanted to travel to Southeast Asia but was too scared to go alone, wanted me to accompany her. When we arrived, she sold me. I truly didn't come willingly."

Mi Lu continued sharing her ordeal, "I refused to engage in live gambling schemes to scam money. Unable to make a sale, they sent me to the club. When I resisted, they beat me, threatened to throw me in a train car if I didn't listen. I desperately want out."

"Your best friend..." Li Xiang was speechless, "What kind of friend is this!"

Indeed, many crooked paths lead to Myanmar.

"Stop crying already. I can't take you out, but I can try to look after you in the park as best I can. Just wash your face and sleep on the sofa, don't disturb my rest any longer."
