Chapter 207 Northern Club
"Yesterday, after Mo Fan contacted me, I immediately checked all the nearby surveillance videos. If I hadn't checked in time, he would have gotten away. I tracked him down to a private club, which seemed to be a rare wine club. I was worried that there might be other skilled hackers inside, so I didn't dare to hack into the surveillance videos." Lingling wiped the juice from the corner of her mouth with her fair hand and said.
"What's the club called? Let's go check it out tonight," Jiang Han asked.
Lingling took a sip of juice, picked up the laptop, fiddled with it for a bit, and then turned it to Lin Han. On the laptop appeared a place called the Northern Club, with its exact location conveniently attached.
"Jiang Han, I'm going to the Northern Club tonight too," Lingling said, biting her straw.
"Okay, but no alcohol." Jiang Han pinched Lingling's little face and said with a smile.
As night fell, the entire city of Shanghai became dazzling under the flashing neon lights. Jiang Han walked down the street with three beautiful women, two adults and one child, attracting a lot of attention. Many men looked at Jiang Han with envy, while the women looked at Ai Tutu, Mu Nujiao and Lingling with envy.
After walking for half an hour, Jiang Han and his three companions finally arrived at their destination for the night—the Northern Club.
Two or three glamorous women were smiling and beckoning to passersby at the club entrance. If it weren't for the large characters "Northern Club" above the club, Jiang Han would have thought he had come to the wrong place. The center of the club was a hall, and the dim lighting with dark red floor lamps made it look like a glowing red carpet had been laid out.
The entire hall and bar were in a European style. When Jiang Han and his group entered the bar, the first thing they saw was a mural with a deer's head embedded in it and religious patterns. Many silver goblets and tableware were displayed next to the long bar counter. Most importantly, the bartender was a relatively handsome Westerner.
"What would you like to drink?" the bartender asked after seeing Jiang Han, Ai Tutu, Mu Nujiao, and the little girl Lingling.
"A juice, an apple martini, an Alexandra, and finally a zombie," Jiang Han said casually.
Lingling is too young for cocktails, so Jiang Han specially asked the bartender to make her a regular juice. Having lived with Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu for so long, he knows what they like. Mu Nujiao likes apples and Ai Tutu likes milk, so the apple martini and Alexandre de France were ordered for Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu respectively. As for the stronger Zombie drink, that was for himself.
The juice was served first. Lin Han took the juice from the bartender and handed it to Lingling, smiling as he said, "Here, you can have yours."
Lingling took the juice Lin Han handed her, glared at Jiang Han unhappily, then took the juice, pouted, and ran to a corner to sit down and drink the juice unhappily. To others, this was just Lingling throwing a tantrum, but Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu both knew that this was a script they had arranged before coming here.
"Jiang Han, Lingling is angry. Shouldn't you go and comfort her?" Mu Nujiao said with a worried expression.
"Why don't you go and comfort her?" Ai Tutu said, clinging to Jiang Han's arm.
If Jiang Han hadn't known beforehand that this was a pre-arranged script, he would have thought that Lingling was genuinely angry. Moreover, Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu's acting skills were also quite explosive, perfectly portraying the worry for Lingling. Jiang Han seriously felt that the Oscars owed them an award.
"Why does someone so young insist on coming to a bar? You should just drink juice, why are you having cocktails?" Jiang Han said, frowning.
The bartender was incredibly fast at mixing drinks, and it wasn't long before Ai Tutu's Alexander was ready. After the bartender placed the Alexander in front of Ai Tutu, Ai Tutu took it, leaned close to Jiang Han, and said with a smile, "Alright, stop being angry. Come and try my Alexander first."
"You should drink first, mine should be ready soon too," Jiang Han said with a smile.
"TuTu, put away your little schemes and just keep your own thoughts to yourself," Mu Nujiao said.
While Jiang Han was chatting and laughing with Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao, many men in the bar were extremely jealous. Not only were they each surrounded by women, but they were also accompanied by little girls. If eyes could kill, Jiang Han would probably have been torn to pieces by the jealous men long ago.
Suddenly, a pale-faced man came to the bar and expertly called out, "Give me a Marina, not too full. I have other delicious drinks to offer later."
"Please wait a moment, I'll prepare the drinks for these two first, then I'll mix yours," the bartender said with a smile.
The pale-faced man followed the bartender's gaze and looked at Jiang Han, Ai Tutu, and Mu Nujiao. When he saw Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao, his eyes widened. He had never tasted women as beautiful as Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao before. He was furious that he had been cornered by Liu Ru and Mo Fan last night.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. After the bartender finished mixing his Marina, he tilted his head back and gulped it down without leaving a drop. Then he angrily cursed, "Damn bastard, who is it that's causing me trouble? If I had known it was just that kid yesterday, I would have killed him on the spot. It seems they didn't see my face clearly. I'm so unwilling to accept this. No prey has ever escaped my grasp before. This time, not only did Liu Ru escape from my grasp, but I was also injured by that woman with holy water. Damn it."
Upon hearing the words "holy water" and "Liu Ru," Ai Tutu paused slightly in his Alexander cocktail. Just as he was about to look at the man who had spoken, Jiang Han clinked his cocktail against Ai Tutu's and said casually, "What are you daydreaming about? Drink up. Want me to order you another one?"
"I..." Before Ai Tutu could finish speaking, Jiang Han, who had given her a meaningful look, immediately shut his mouth.
She wasn't stupid and naturally knew what Jiang Han meant. If she had finished speaking, it would have easily alerted the pale-faced man and caused the rest of the plan to fall apart. While Jiang Han, Ai Tutu, and Mu Nujiao were keeping an eye on the pale-faced man, a middle-aged man suddenly sat down in front of Lingling, who was sitting some distance away.
As Lingling pretended to be angry while drinking her juice, a middle-aged man who looked quite respectable suddenly sat down. He smiled and said, "Little beauty, what brings you here all by yourself?"
Lingling raised her head, her eyes, which held a hidden wisdom, now gleaming with a pure, watery light. She pouted and complained to Jiang Han, who was chatting and laughing with Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao in the distance, "I hate learning magic the most! There are always endless magic questions to answer. Why can adults come here to drink, but we kids have to learn such boring magic and demon knowledge? And we're even forced to drink juice at the bar! Humph, you stinky brother!"
Following Lingling's gaze, the middle-aged man saw Jiang Han chatting and laughing with Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao. He burst into laughter and after a while, he said with a smile, "Children who question what adults say are not good children. How about this, I just ordered this cocktail and haven't tasted it yet. While your brother isn't looking over here, I'll let you have a sip. After you finish this sip, you'll know that even the most expensive cocktails are hard to drink."
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lingling glanced worriedly at Jiang Han, then looked excitedly at the cocktail in the man's hand, nodded her little head, and said, "Really? Can I really try a cocktail?"
Lingling's appearance perfectly captured the innocence of a little girl, causing the middle-aged man's throat to involuntarily bob.
