This was the first time Lin Cheng had ever seen Lin Momo cry like this.

Before, even when she was caught by the tobacco shop owner at the market and framed as a thief, although the little girl was scared, she was brave enough not to cry.

Listening to Lin Momo’s frightened and aggrieved sobs, Lin Cheng’s heart seemed to be pained, as if clutched by something.

Facing Lin Momo like this, Lin Cheng, who had never coaxed a child before, was at a loss. In the end, he could only pat Lin Momo’s head to show comfort.

“It’s okay, don’t be afraid,” Lin Cheng murmured to Lin Momo softly.

It was obviously a very unfamiliar comfort but somehow it worked like a miracle—Lin Momo, who had thrown herself in Lin Cheng’s arms, gradually stopped crying. After hiccuping quietly a few more times, Lin Momo calmed down completely, and her mood seemed to be better than before. Much calmer.

“Don’t be afraid anymore,” Lin Cheng repeated over and over.

Lin Momo nodded slightly, but still held on to Lin Cheng’s clothes with her small hands and refused to let go.

It seemed as if she was afraid that as soon as she let Lin Cheng go, those terrible things would happen again.

Lin Cheng gently patted Lin Momo’s head again.

At this time, Wang Zhou walked in.

“Eldest Young Master, here are some information found about this place.” Wang Zhou handed a stack of documents to Lin Cheng.

It contained information about the ‘Moonlight Poetry Society’ as the public knew it, as well as some secrets that happened behind the scenes.

… …

On the surface, it was just an ordinary salon. Except for the higher spending of its guests, and the fact that these same guests were either wealthy or from prestigious families—or both—there seemed to be nothing wrong with it. However, the true nature of the club was hidden in a ‘secret floor’.

During construction, a secret space was created between the first floor and the basement parking below.

Only special-level guests of the club knew about its existence and were eligible to enter the hidden premises.

In this dark space, guests could enjoy any ‘service’ they desire and satisfy any of their perverted ‘wishes’ as long as they were willing to spend the money to have it.

Looking at the list of special services provided by the ‘Moonlight Poetry Society’ to special guests for this year alone, Lin Cheng’s face showed an expression of extreme disgust. He closed the document, not wanting to read any more.

On one side of the room, several men who were under the control of Lin Cheng’s people finally fell silent after struggling to no avail.

Many off these captured people looked at Lin Cheng, and then looked around at the surrounding situation, and felt strange in their hearts—this person had forced his way inside the secret room, bringing his own people, and the boss of the ‘Moonlight Poetry Society’ didn’t show up at all and actually seemed to be intimidated, which was very strange. 

It was even more strange that the fierce waiters specially hired by the club to prevent the club’s special guests from being disturbed, were all standing quietly on the sidelines, none of them daring to move.

There was only one explanation: that the man in front of them had a special status. Even the boss of the ‘Moonlight Poetry Society’ did not dare to offend him easily.

Thinking of this, when the few people who were still arrogant before looked at Lin Cheng again, their faces now had a bit of nervousness and fear.

Among the group of people kneeling on the ground, a man with glasses who seemed to be in the lead tried his best to move a few steps closer to Lin Cheng.

“I don’t know which industry this friend is from?” the man with glasses forced a smile on his face and beamed at Lin Cheng. He lowered his posture and said, “You see, my friend, most of the people who can come to this place are not people without identities. If there is any misunderstanding, I will apologize first. Let’s talk about it carefully. Maybe we can become good friends in the future. Don’t let a little misunderstanding ruin the relationship.” 

After that, the man with glasses secretly peeked at Lin Momo, who was being held securely by Cheng, thinking that the club’s boss probably hadn’t procured the supply cleanly this time and offended the wrong people by mistake.

Hearing the man’s words, Lin Cheng’s eyes flashed with fierce ridicule.

“Identity?” Lin Cheng looked at the other party coldly and asked, “What do you think your identity is?”

“I…” the man with glasses was choked by Lin Cheng’s words.

Just as the man with glasses was struggling on how to answer Lin Cheng’s question, Lin Cheng threw the pile of information in his hand to the ground, the documents landing in front of the man with glasses. He asked in a cold voice, “A rich man? A VIP? Or a so-called famous person?”

Among the people at the scene, there were not only presidents and senior executives of some well-known companies in City C, but also important people with complicated social relationships. What was even more ridiculous was that there was also a person well-known to be the patron of many charitable institutions among them.

The confidential information in Lin Cheng’s hands clearly recorded the true identities of these people in front of him—their membership information as well as consumption records were all recorded there.

Judging from the consumption records, this was not the first time for these people.

Seeing his information recorded in the documents on the ground, the bespectacled man and the people behind him finally showed expressions of horror on their faces, their faces all turning pale.

This was their first time seeing this happen! They didn’t expect that after this club received them and made so much profit from them, its boss would now treat them this way.

At this time, there was only one clear thought in several people’s minds, that was: these things should not be known to the public!

Once this information was exposed, their careers, their families, their lives, and their good reputations in the outside world would be completely ruined.

“No, no, this information is definitely false. I have never done any of this!” One of them panicked and hurriedly denied it.

Another person also looked at Lin Cheng and tried his best to explain, “Misunderstanding, these are all misunderstandings.” 

“Yes, they are all misunderstandings. Please, let us go.”

Several people who were originally glamorous outside, now acted like a lowly animal, kneeling on the ground, explaining and begging for mercy, their faces a mess.

One person thought of something and suddenly raised his voice, “That is, we didn’t do anything wrong. We only asked those children to come because of a show. Yes, a show. We planned to make a TV series, no, it is a reality show. We asked them to come so we could choose a suitable child star.”

The people nearby echoed, “Yes, yes! That’s it, we were just choosing a child star!”

Even the staff of the salon couldn’t stand hearing these people’s despicable lies and turned their heads away silently.

At this point, even Chen Yu couldn’t bear it; he stepped forward and kicked the man with glasses hard.

“You beasts! Shameless scum! How dare you tell such lies!”
