Chapter 1596 — What a Tragedy!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Black Panther has been a loyal man of my Zhong family — we cannot let him lose heart!" Although Zhong Yongliang said this, what he was really thinking was that Black Panther still had his uses. To tell the truth, Black Panther's crimes weren't all that serious — there would come a day when he got out of prison, and by then he would still prove quite valuable.
Black Panther, by virtue of being the sect master's junior brother of the Mingri Fumingri Sect, had managed to have Zhang Naipao successfully recommended as an inner disciple. That kind of influence should not be underestimated — Black Panther's martial prowess wasn't much to speak of, but his network of connections was formidable!
So Zhong Yongliang figured that with this connection in place, future dealings with the sect master of Mingri Fumingri would go much more smoothly!
"So shall we go see him in a few days?" Gao Xiaofu asked.
"Sure, but first we need to deal with the trouble at hand..." Zhong Yongliang's throat had gone dry. His entire body was heating up, and the discomfort was beyond bearing.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before the lobby manager's call came through, and Zhong Yongliang announced his identity without preamble!
The lobby manager knew who Zhong Yongliang was and was aware that he was the one footing the bill for this event, so he treated him with great courtesy: "Young Master Zhong, what can I do for you?"
"Manager Zhang, hurry up and send two hostesses up — the pretty ones! We'll talk about everything else later!" Zhong Yongliang was consumed by desire and had no patience for idle conversation with the lobby manager!
"Ah? Young Master Zhong, that's a difficult one. Our resort doesn't currently offer that kind of service!" Manager Zhang recalled the orders from the general manager and Young Master Ming — how could he dare send any hostesses to Zhong Yongliang?
"Bullshit! My family runs a nightclub too — you think I don't know how this works? There were such services here last time I came! Cut the crap and don't give me that nonsense!" Zhong Yongliang's temper flared at once after hearing Manager Zhang's words.
"Young Master Zhong, we truly don't have any. This was specifically emphasized by the general manager earlier — our business has pivoted to legitimate industries, and we no longer provide this sort of service." Manager Zhang didn't want to offend Zhong Yongliang either — after all, he was one of their biggest patrons, and since he and Zhong Fabai were in the same trade, they'd be bumping into each other constantly.
"Then find two from outside for me — and hurry up!" Zhong Yongliang was well past the point of patience!
"Well... Young Master Zhong, I'm afraid we don't have any contacts of that sort either. How about you go out and look for yourself?" Manager Zhang said diplomatically.
Since the hostesses couldn't be brought into the resort, the only option was to have Zhong Yongliang step outside its grounds — once he was out, whatever happened was no longer the resort's concern!
But how could Zhong Yongliang be in any state to go out looking? He couldn't possibly wait that long, and besides, this place was completely unfamiliar territory — where was he supposed to go? Even if he called two girls over from his own nightclub, it would take over an hour's drive — it would be far too late by then!
Zhong Yongliang seethed with resentment. Was this resort broken? They'd switched to legitimate business — of all the times to do it, they just had to pick now! What were he and Gao Xiaofu supposed to do?
"Damn it! I'm never coming back to this wretched place!" Zhong Yongliang slammed the phone down in fury, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Liang, what do we do? I can't take it anymore!" Gao Xiaofu had heard the conversation on the phone too, and he was sweating profusely.
