"My daughter is usually so well-behaved, how could she be like you say?"
"You're only flattering him because that man is rich and powerful, aren't you?!"
"I'm warning you, release my daughter immediately!"
"Otherwise, I'll come and cause trouble at your law enforcement office every single day!"
"Let everyone see how you wrongly accuse good people!"
Inside the law enforcement office, Liu Gang was troubled by the incessantly chattering woman before him.
What do they mean by 'like mother, like daughter'?
He was truly witnessing it.
He thought Fu Mei was already shameless enough, but he didn't expect her mother, Li Fengying, to be even worse!
He had no choice but to raise his voice again, attempting to use the law to subdue her.
"Ms. Li, please be quiet!"
"What place do you think this is?"
"A vegetable market?"
"Let me tell you."
"Fu Mei has violated more than just one law. Do you think you can solve this by throwing a tantrum and acting like a hooligan?"
"Or are you planning to stay in the detention center with her for a few days too?!"
"Disrupting the order of official institutions is also punishable by administrative detention and a fine!"
"You, you're just bullying people..."
Upon hearing that she might also be detained, Li Fengying's voice immediately became much softer.
Despite her being even more boisterous than Fu Mei when arguing, she was actually a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
"Alright, the time is now yours. Resolve whatever you need to resolve quickly."
"Once formal detention begins, no one will be allowed to visit except for your appointed lawyers."
"Also, stop having any wicked ideas!"
Seeing that the mother and daughter had both quieted down, Liu Gang let out a soft snort and left the room.
As soon as he left, Fu Mei immediately burrowed into Li Fengying's arms and started crying.
"Mom, what should we do?"
"I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to go to jail!"
"Wuwuwu..."
Li Fengying patted Fu Mei's back with concern, whispering, "Don't be scared, baby, let Mom think."
"Making a scene at the law enforcement office is definitely not going to work, and we don't have any influential connections."
"The only way to turn this big issue into a small one now is if there's a twist to what happened before!"
"Got it!"
"Baby, listen to me."
"Here's what we'll do, like this..."
...
In Linjiangxian residential complex, Liao Jingshan anxiously awaited the arrival of the potential tenant.
For some reason this year, strange things kept happening in his apartment.
Tenants changed one after another, and the rent had to be lowered repeatedly.
But even when the rent was reduced to half of that in the same complex, no one dared to come.
If this continued, he was even considering selling it at a low price.
"Sigh, let's see if this tenant can be persuaded. If not, I'll list the apartment online at a low price."
"If this goes on any longer, I won't be able to take it anymore."
With a sigh, Liao Jingshan inadvertently glanced at five people.
The man in the lead was tall and handsome, and the four women behind him were all striking and attractive in their own ways.
If they were all my wives...
No, even if just one of them could be my wife, I'd be willing to lose ten years of my life!
Lost in his wild thoughts, the group of five had already approached.
Liao Jingshan was slightly taken aback, but the man in the lead spoke first.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Liao Jingshan?"
"We're here to view the apartment."
"Oh! It's me."
"You're Qin Xuan, right?"
"Follow me, let's go see the apartment."
Qin Xuan nodded and followed at a leisurely pace.
He had intended to rent a comfortable riverside villa or apartment for IG as a training base when he went out today.
However, riverside properties were always in high demand, and the housing prices in Jiangcheng were not as outrageous as in Shanghai.
Therefore, most suitable riverside properties in the vicinity were already occupied.
With no other choice, he had to shift his focus to residential complexes.
And in this area, only Liao Jingshan's building had five vacant floors.
Following Liao Jingshan all the way to the apartment on the 10th floor, Qin Xuan quite liked the overall environment.
Two units per floor, four bedrooms and two living rooms, with an interior area of approximately 320 square meters.
The entire apartment was finely decorated, fully furnished, and ready for immediate occupancy.
Around the living room, there were two large floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a view of the Jialing River not far away.
The scenery was very pleasant.
"Are all five floors the same layout?"
After a general tour, Qin Xuan was very satisfied with the spatial distribution.
The living room was large enough to be directly converted into a club training room.
Although the four bedrooms varied in size, they were reasonably sized to accommodate one to two people each.
"The layout of the opposite unit is the exact opposite of this one."
"The layouts on other floors are identical to this floor."
"That's quite good."
Based on Liao Jingshan's answers, Qin Xuan began to calculate in his mind.
There were two units on each floor, meaning a total of eight bedrooms.
Each branch had anywhere from ten to twenty personnel.
It was just enough for one branch per floor.
After the distribution, the remaining staff who couldn't fit would be assigned to the remaining two floors. These five floors would definitely be sufficient.
"Alright, then we'll rent this place."
"The environment is good, and the location is excellent."
"The price is also much lower than other places."
"I think it's quite suitable."
Hearing Qin Xuan's satisfaction, Liao Jingshan was also very happy.
But after his happiness, he hesitantly said to Qin Xuan, "There's no problem with renting the apartment."
"However, there's something I must make clear to you in advance."
"Many strange things have been happening in these apartments recently."
"All the tenants who have lived here experience inexplicable symptoms such as palpitations, fatigue, and weakness every day."
"After living there for only a few days, they would become pale and extremely weak."
"But as soon as they leave, these symptoms would significantly improve or even heal completely."
"It's precisely because of this that I'm renting it out at a lower price."
"That's so bizarre?"
Upon hearing Liao Jingshan's description, Wan Lingqiu and the others immediately became interested.
Qin Xuan, on the other hand, was walking around the room, inquiring about the furniture.
"Do you know why these people are experiencing these symptoms?"
Lamp: I know this! Every night, someone hangs upside down on me. It must be him!
Bed: That's right! Every night someone sneaks into the room and secretly takes a few bites out of the tenant. Their teeth are so long, they're practically stringy!
Sofa: I know this too! After each bite, that person sits on me and hums elegantly for a long time, only flying away when dawn is near!
Window: Indeed, he always remembers to close me, quite considerate.
Hiss...
Listening to the descriptions from the furniture, a figure instantly appeared in Qin Xuan's mind.
They wore red and black clothing and a black cloak.
They walked in the darkness and slept in coffins.
They replenished their energy by absorbing human blood, and could also transform humans into their own kind.
That's right, his name was...
Vampire!
