Nightfall descends, the lanterns light up.
G City, this bustling metropolis, is a city that never sleeps, and "Decadence Alley" is the city's most famous bar street, with the "Imperial" entertainment city located at the end of bar street.
The basement of the "Imperial" houses the bar, where the deafening music thumps in people's hearts. Even on the streets, one could feel the intense atmosphere, it's highly contagious. Rows of luxury cars park at the entrance of the "Imperial". Its golden grand entrance is like a gentleman elegantly welcoming everyone who wishes to enter.
At this moment, a taxi races in. The screeching sound of the brakes pierces through the night, finally stopping steadily in front of the main entrance of the "Imperial".
The passenger door is hurriedly opened. The girl in the seat bends over to close the door, quickly thanks the driver and rushes toward the "Imperial".
Under the bright lights, it is easy to see that she is an extremely gentle and beautiful girl. She has waist-length hair, as smooth as satin, a delicate face, fair skin that glimmers under the light. She rushes around, innocent as a camellia, wearing a white chiffon dress, her steps light.
There are many beauties in the "Imperial", but seldom are they as pure and attractive as her. Her innocence contrasts with the scantily clad girls who usually visit the bar. Even without the slightest flirtation, people cannot help but fix their gaze on her luminous face.
Getting out of the taxi, the girl quickly closes the car door, wraps her arms tight around her bag, oblivious to the surprised or greedy eyes, and promptly enters the "Imperial".
Following the elevator down to the basement, she could immediately feel the strong impact of the music. A hint of panic crosses her heart, and she wants to turn around and run away. But she knows, she can't back down.
On the stage, the crystal chandeliers change beams of different colors. Men and women of all kinds sway their bodies and dance wildly to the beat, their movements disheveled and languid. Periodically, there would be bursts of screaming.
Su Mian endures the strong discomfort, her eyebrows slightly knitted, she scans across the dance floor... and spots five people sitting at a corner table. Three men and two women, amongst them one man wearing a black body-hugging attire, with a baseball cap on, and the two women heavily made-up and wearing tight dresses —extremely sexy.
Su Mian bites her lip and heads toward the group of five.
"Hey, beautiful girl." The man holding a cigarette quickly approaches Su Mian. She steps back, her gaze fixed on the man with the cap.
"Here's the money, a total of five thousand, where's my dad?" The surrounding music is deafening, Su Mian had to yell loudly to them.
"Huh? What did you say, I can't hear you." One of the men, wearing a floral shirt, and while gazing at the charming Su Mian, let out a loud whistle, and extends his alcohol-stained mouth towards her.
"Miss Su, it seems you are a person of your word." The man in the duckbill cap shot a glance of intense fervor at Su Mian, who stood before him.
Su Mian's father, Su Lingyuan, had racked up a debt of five thousand dollars from gambling at the Times Casino. Consequently, this man named Ah Hong brought Su Lingyuan to Su Mian. Regardless of how Su Mian pleaded, he insisted he would only release her father if he received the money. As such, Su Mian was left with no choice but to figure out a way to raise the funds.
Su Mian didn't know why this man, Ah Hong, would choose to meet in a place like "Imperial Capital". She had never been here before and there was an inexplicable fear in her about this place.
"Where is my father?"
"Miss Su, let's not be hasty," the man in the flowered shirt said as he offered her a glass of wine. “Come, come, let’s drink first, and then we will talk." Su Mian did not notice the swift exchange of glances among the three men.
