Chapter 683: First Encounter with an Angel
"Sure," Ye Fei nodded in agreement.
Although Li Canghai hadn't explicitly asked about his intentions, Ye Fei understood that the man already knew and had preliminarily decided to cooperate.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have invited Ye Fei to the headquarters of his gang. Working with intelligent people had its advantages—many things didn't need to be spelled out.
Li Canghai's gang, which he had founded himself, was called the Canghai Gang. This was somewhat similar to the Lingyun Society, except that Ye Fei's grandfather had named his organization after his son, while Li Canghai had simply used his own name.
The headquarters of the Canghai Gang was located not far from the center of the capital, in a place called the "Canghai Elite Club."
The club wasn't particularly large, with only about a dozen floors, making it rather inconspicuous.
However, anyone of any significance in the capital knew better than to underestimate it.
The true core of the club wasn't above ground but in the six underground levels, which housed almost every form of entertainment imaginable—except for drugs—and of the highest caliber.
After hearing Li Canghai's explanation on the way, Ye Fei's first thought was, Why is this guy so obsessed with digging underground?
But he also understood that in a place like the capital, some things couldn't be too ostentatious.
Digging underground was indeed a clever solution. Ye Fei also admired Li Canghai's strict prohibition of drugs.
As for other vices like prostitution and gambling, the Lingyun Society was involved in those as well.
While these weren't exactly virtuous, they were impossible to eradicate. If they didn't do it, someone else would. Moreover, these activities weren't as harmful as drugs, so it was better to keep them under control.
This way, incidents like forcing women into prostitution or settling gambling debts with flesh could be minimized.
Although Ye Fei had already heard about it from Li Canghai, he was still somewhat disappointed when they arrived at the Canghai Club.
The scale of the club paled in comparison to the Lingyun Nightclub. Including the courtyard, it was only about fifty meters long and wide. Even with multiple underground levels, it wasn't particularly impressive. However, the courtyard was filled with nothing but top-tier luxury cars.
Li Canghai noticed Ye Fei's slight disappointment but didn't explain. He simply had the driver park the car and led Ye Fei toward the club's main building.
Just then, Ye Fei's eyes lit up. A woman—or rather, a girl—stepped out of a Bentley limousine that had just arrived. She appeared to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, with golden hair and large, lake-blue eyes.
A foreigner, she had an exquisitely Eastern face, her beauty rivaling that of the women in Ye Fei's life.
What made her even more remarkable was that this stunning face belonged to a Western girl. Unfortunately, she was wrapped in an oversized down coat, making it impossible to see her figure.
Of course, none of this was what truly caught Ye Fei's attention. After all, the women around him were no less beautiful than this Western girl. What struck him was that such an incredibly beautiful girl was wearing a collar around her neck, the kind typically used for pets.
A leash was attached to the collar, and the other end was held by an elderly Western man.
This scene reminded Ye Fei of a movie where the protagonist was treated like a dog by his owner. Was this stunning girl in a similar situation? The thought made Ye Fei feel as though something precious was being wasted.
The old man leading the girl didn't seem to notice Li Canghai and quickly took her inside. The girl remained expressionless throughout.
As if sensing Ye Fei's confusion, Li Canghai explained as they walked, "That guy is one of the major figures in the underground scene of Great Britain. He's obsessed with underground fighting and is said to have raised a group of fighting machines from a young age.
The most formidable among them is supposedly called the 'War Angel'—probably that girl. It seems he's here to make a statement today."
Ye Fei nodded but asked a question that surprised Li Canghai: "Is that old man impotent?"
Li Canghai was momentarily stunned before responding with genuine admiration, "Brother Ye, I'm truly impressed. Not only are you a martial arts master, but your medical skills are also at such a high level. You can even tell something like that at a glance."
Ye Fei smiled but didn't explain. While his medical skills were decent, they were far from the level of someone like Dongfang Ruolan. He couldn't diagnose someone's condition at a glance. He had simply deduced it from the girl's aura.
Given her pure, untouched presence, it was clear she was still a virgin.
If the old man were capable, how could he resist such a beauty?
Though the sight left Ye Fei feeling uneasy and even tempted to rescue the girl from the old man's clutches, he knew there was little he could do. The world was full of suffering people, and he couldn't save everyone. If he tried, he'd never get anything else done.
With Li Canghai leading the way, Ye Fei passed through without any questioning and smoothly reached the first underground level. The moment he stepped in, he was awestruck. What a grand display!
The first underground level was the Canghai Gang's casino. Based on Ye Fei's estimation, the central hall alone spanned nearly five hundred meters in length and width, not including the VIP rooms. This far exceeded the ground-level area.
Ye Fei's astonishment pleased Li Canghai. Since their meeting, he had found himself outmatched by the young gang leader in every way, which had left him somewhat frustrated despite his broad-mindedness. Now, he felt a sense of pride and relief. He chuckled, "Brother Ye, is my little establishment up to par?"
Ye Fei was only momentarily stunned by the scale of the place and quickly regained his composure. He smiled and said, "It's quite impressive. But aren't you worried your neighbors might sue you for digging such a large hole?"
Caught off guard by Ye Fei's focus on this detail, Li Canghai was slightly deflated. He glared and said, "The surrounding properties are also mine. Who's going to sue me?"
Ye Fei was just teasing Li Canghai and didn't want to push it further. He smiled and said, "But honestly, this place is really something. Even I feel like trying my luck here."
What do you think?
