"What?"
Seeing the message from Ye Shishi, Shen Lang frowned, his expression changing.
Shen Lang knew Ye Shishi's personality; she was playful but never lacked seriousness.
If she wasn't truly in danger, Ye Shishi wouldn't send such a message.
And knowing that Ye Shishi knew he and Wang Yuyan were celebrating their birthdays tonight, the fact that she could still send a text message asking Shen Lang for help proved her situation was dire.
Shocked, Shen Lang opened his contact list and dialed Ye Shishi's number.
However, the call connected but went unanswered.
Ye Shishi was with Gu Qinghan. After failing to reach Ye Shishi, Shen Lang then dialed Gu Qinghan's number.
But Gu Qinghan's phone, just like Ye Shishi's, went unanswered after connecting.
Something had happened. Something big had happened.
Shen Lang's face grew solemn, his breathing quickening.
With no other options, Shen Lang opened WeChat, then clicked on "Bing" in his chat list, and sent Ye Shishi and Gu Qinghan's phone numbers to the chat box.
"Bing, I'll give you three minutes to send me the location of these two phone numbers."
Shen Lang never doubted "Bing's" abilities, a fact he understood from the time he rescued Yu Xiao and Yu Fei.
"Received—"
"Bing" never refused Shen Lang's requests, nor did she ever mention difficulties. After a simple reply, she sent no further messages.
Shen Lang knew "Bing" was a unique and cautious person. Since she had replied "Received," she was definitely working on it.
Shen Lang didn't disturb "Bing" or rush her, but waited patiently, because he knew "Bing" would never let him down.
In fact, this time was no different.
The three minutes passed quickly. After three minutes, "Bing" replied with a message.
"Bing's" reply was simple. Gu Qinghan's number, one of the two numbers Shen Lang provided, was a phone developed by the Ministry of Military Affairs, which had no tracking function and even possessed anti-tracking capabilities.
"Bing" dared not attempt to track Gu Qinghan's phone, so she focused her attention on Ye Shishi's phone. Ye Shishi used an ordinary phone, unlike Gu Qinghan's complex device. "Bing" quickly located Ye Shishi.
Manhattan Bar?
Seeing the location "Bing" sent, Shen Lang was slightly surprised. But then he remembered Gu Qinghan mentioning going to a bar to celebrate her birthday, and he knew "Bing's" location must be accurate.
"Thank you—"
Without "Bing," it would have been extremely difficult for Shen Lang to find Ye Shishi and Gu Qinghan's location.
Therefore, Shen Lang was very grateful to "Bing."
"Shen Lang, I am not a philanthropist. I help you because of our agreement, so you don't need to be grateful."
"Bing" replied on WeChat, "I've helped you so much. If I ever find myself in danger in the future, you must come to my rescue immediately."
"You know, in our line of work, we walk on the edge of a knife. One wrong step, and we could be shattered into pieces and lose our lives. So, I need to buy myself extra insurance."
"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten our agreement."
Shen Lang knew that people like "Bing" disliked owing favors; they preferred straightforward exchanges of benefit. He said, "If you encounter danger, I will definitely rush to save you at the first opportunity. No matter the peril, I will ensure your safety."
"Shen Lang, I am not in danger right now, but I do need you to help me with something."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, "Bing" typed again and said, "I know you are in Nanling. Next week, a friend of mine will also be coming to Nanling. However, he's gotten into some trouble and might be in danger, so I need you to ensure his safety."
"Don't worry, he won't be staying in Nanling for long, just one day. As long as you ensure he's safe for that day, consider it a great favor owed."
"It seems this person is very important to you?"
Looking at "Bing's" reply, Shen Lang typed, "We've never met, but you've helped me a lot. This time, consider it the interest on your continuous help to me. Send me the person's information later. Don't worry, within a day, I guarantee no one will be able to harm him even a single hair."
"Okay—"
This time, "Bing" replied with a simple word and then fell silent.
Shen Lang then closed WeChat, opened his navigation, told Yu Xiao and Yu Fei, and then drove towards Manhattan Bar.
Manhattan Bar was a very luxurious bar in the center of Nanling City.
When Shen Lang parked his car and entered, he noticed that both the interior and exterior were opulently decorated, making it look less like a bar and more like a palace.
"Sir, good evening, welcome to Manhattan Bar."
As Shen Lang entered Manhattan Bar, a tall, sweet-looking girl in a sexy uniform quickly approached him and spoke.
However, upon hearing the voice, Shen Lang was stunned.
He knew this voice very well. Who else but Tang Wuzui?
"Shen Lang, you again, you guy?"
Seeing Shen Lang's face, Tang Wuzui's sweet smile immediately turned somber. She said, "You, I worked at Baima Club, and you came to cause trouble. I took a part-time job at Tiantang Rensheng, and you killed someone there. Why are you following me to Manhattan Bar?"
Ever since Tang Wuzui met Shen Lang, this guy had been causing trouble, leaving Tang Wuzui with psychological trauma.
So, seeing Shen Lang, Tang Wuzui was very vigilant. She asked, "Speak, what do you want at Manhattan Bar tonight?"
"Shen Lang, I'm warning you, don't mess around here. The boss of this bar isn't Yang Ce, nor is it Yuan Bubai. He's a big shot you can't afford to offend. I don't want you to die tragically."
Tang Wuzui knew Shen Lang wasn't the type of person who enjoyed drinking or revelry. His presence here was definitely not for innocent reasons, so she quickly warned Shen Lang not to cause trouble.
"Don't worry, I'm a good person. I never cause trouble on my own."
Facing Tang Wuzui's kind reminder, Shen Lang smiled and said, "If my friends are safe and sound, I won't cause a scene, nor will I hurt anyone. But if someone harms my friends, then I'm sorry, no matter who they are, they will pay the price."
"Whether it's Yang Ce, Yuan Bubai, or even the influential big boss you mentioned, if they harm my friends, they will pay with their blood."
Saying this, Shen Lang looked at Tang Wuzui and said with an irrefutable tone, "Now, find out for me about Ye Shishi and Gu Qinghan, see which private room they are in?"
