An hour later, Qin Chuan left the restaurant.
The restaurant owner was a kind man who earnestly advised him against entering the stock market, telling him he was still young with a great future ahead.
Qin Chuan smiled, acknowledged his advice, paid his bill, and walked out.
He took his phone from his bag, opened his contacts, found a contact named 'Big Brother-in-law', and dialed.
This "Big Brother-in-law" was none other than Teacher Yang Zimo's brother, Yang Conglong, a second-generation rich kid with a penchant for mature women.
"Hello, Brother Long!"
The call connected after only a few rings.
"Qin Chuan?"
Yang Conglong asked uncertainly.
"Brother Long, you're really not going to save my number in your phone!"
Qin Chuan said with mock sadness.
"No! No!!"
"I just lost my phone recently and got a new one, so I lost contact details of many acquaintances!"
Yang Conglong explained.
"I'd believe that if I were a fool!"
Qin Chuan muttered to himself, but quickly changed the subject. "Brother Long, where are you making your fortune these days?"
"The usual, my family's coal mines, traveling everywhere! I'm so tired!"
Yang Conglong's tone was weary, but it sounded like he was bragging.
Still, Qin Chuan was astonished by the Yang family's wealth. He wondered if Yang Conglong was telling the truth; if so, the Yang family was incredibly powerful!
Real coal magnates!
"Brother Long, where are you now?"
"To be honest, I'm in the provincial capital today! Didn't we agree that when I came to the provincial capital, you'd treat me to a meal as thanks for last time?"
Qin Chuan said, his tone becoming somewhat lewd.
"Before coming, I inquired and heard that there's a good new nightclub on the South Inner Ring of the provincial capital. They have top-notch girls of all kinds!"
"Want to go out and have some fun together?"
As soon as Qin Chuan finished speaking, Yang Conglong replied, "Are you talking about the place called 'Night Sprite'?"
"Yes! That's the one called Night Sprite!"
Qin Chuan nodded. He had gotten this information from the taxi driver earlier.
Having lived two lives, Qin Chuan knew the taxi driver profession well. They were like the local experts in every city, knowing all the best places for food, drink, and entertainment.
Asking them would be 90% accurate!
"Haha, you're a loyal friend!"
"I've only been there once, and the quality is indeed very high. Then it's settled for tonight. See you at nine!"
Yang Conglong was very happy and his tone became more enthusiastic.
"Sure! Of course!"
"Oh, and Brother Long! Shall we invite Zimo too? It'll be more lively with more people! I haven't seen Zimo in a long time!"
Qin Chuan suddenly suggested.
"That place is so messy, why invite Zimo? It's not appropriate for her,"
Unexpectedly, Yang Conglong flatly refused.
He acted like a "good brother" who could indulge himself but would never let his sister do the same.
Qin Chuan felt a little disappointed but knew he couldn't rush things. He had a long stay in the provincial capital ahead of him.
He didn't believe he wouldn't even get to see Yang Zimo.
Furthermore, Yang Conglong's answer gave him a crucial piece of information: Yang Zimo was likely still in the provincial capital and hadn't gone elsewhere.
This was good news!
That night, a little past nine o'clock.
In a dazzling, luxurious nightclub on the South Inner Ring of Jin Province, Qin Chuan and Yang Conglong sat on the sofa, each accompanied by a female companion.
Qin Chuan's companion was a pure and lovely girl, appearing to be under twenty. Despite her age, she had a well-developed figure, fair and smooth skin, and was of high quality.
Yang Conglong's companion was a woman in uniform with a slightly flirtatious demeanor, appearing to be in her late twenties. As for her figure, it went without saying.
Under the lights, the two women's fair, long legs gleamed attractively. Their voices were sickeningly sweet as they called out "Brother" repeatedly and snuggled into their laps, feeding them drinks and snacks with impeccable service.
Even Qin Chuan, who initially had little interest, felt a stir of excitement.
After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere grew more lively.
Qin Chuan pushed away the girl's playful hand beside him and said with a smile, "Brother Long, I've noticed that you indulge yourself while being very strict with your own sister. Doesn't Zimo know you're such a playboy?"
Yang Conglong, somewhat tipsy, his eyes hazy, chuckled at this.
"Do you really think I'm strict with Zimo?"
"If not, then what is it?"
Qin Chuan pressed.
"It's because... my sister never comes to such a seedy place!"
"She's the odd one out in our family, very conservative!"
"Even in summer, she mostly wears long sleeves and pants, rarely wears skirts, let alone those revealing shorts!"
Yang Conglong said, his words slurred with alcohol.
He didn't notice Qin Chuan's eyes growing brighter with each word, a special kind of excitement flashing within them, as if he had stumbled upon a treasure.
Men, by nature, possessed inherent flaws.
They allowed themselves to sow wild oats but demanded strictness from their own women, preferring them to be more conservative and pure.
Qin Chuan was no exception. Yang Conglong's words were like a treasure map, waiting for him to pursue the legendary prize!
"Then Brother Long, what has Zimo been busy with since she returned home?"
"Oh, she's completely uninterested in business. She spends her days tending to flowers, reading books, and occasionally going out with friends..."
Yang Conglong paused here, his gaze fixed on Qin Chuan.
"Brother Long, why are you looking at me like that?"
Qin Chuan asked, surprised.
"I say, you kid, why are you always asking about my sister? Do you have ulterior motives?"
Yang Conglong's expression turned guarded, and the drunkenness seemed to clear from his eyes.
"I'm telling you, no way!"
"Brother Long, you wound me! When have I ever had such thoughts? You must be misunderstanding!"
Qin Chuan explained with a smile, "Your sister and you have both shown me great kindness. How else would I have your contact information if not for Zimo telling me?"
"So in my heart, you are both my great benefactors!"
Yang Conglong shook his head. "Is that really so?"
"Of course! Come, let's keep drinking!"
Qin Chuan winked at the girl beside him. The girl, quick-witted, immediately moved closer, her soft whispers and sweet words quickly befuddling Yang Conglong.
