Sunday, continued …Meanwhile outside the warehouses.
Lion and Snake leading the two teams of men, were staking out two warehouses they knew were used as brothels, recording all comings and goings. They had received hints earlier in the day that Rong Jingye was going out late tonight. They hoped he would show up at one brothel, and CEO Lu would join him.
They had placed a couple of men inside the brothels for the purposes of gathering information inside and to start and place their high-tech surveillance devices. Being temporary police members for the purposes of this investigtion, gave them the ability to get away with what they were doing. Importantly, it also allowed them to keep an eye on CEO Lu, as if he was responsible for what happened to the princess then anything they could do ho help Hou Yi bring him down financially, they would do.
When Snake noticed Rong Jingye enter the brothel he was at, he messaged Lion telling him to leave only one man outside the brothel he was at and get to his location. Neither of them wanted to miss CEO Lu and from what they knew it would be unusual that one one of them showed up at the same location.
Five minutes later Lion with two men arrived. As CEO Lu and Rong Jingye knew their faces, Snake and Lion were realistic they could not enter the brothel, so they sent three men inside, quickly ensuring they had all the equipment they required for surveillance inside. The equipment was able to be turned off using remotes to ensure that security sweeps did not detect them, protecting them. It was a rush to move them in, as they needed them in place before CEO Lu arrived otherwise they would have little chance to gather much evidence tonight.
Within five minutes, Snake and Lion were overlooking the warehouse monitoring the equipment while their men were making their way to enter. Thank goodness they were known by sight at the door, as that made getting them in easy. While they were being checked by security the recording equipment was silent and when they entered it was quickly reactivated. Each man positioned themselves to ensure they had good views, and provide clear evidence of the menu for the night.
Snake and Lion, where totally shocked when they viewed the nights menu. There were five fourteen-year-old girls plus fifteen, sixteen and seventeen year olds as listed as well. Those sick b*stards using children like this. The communication between them was silent, but a sign of how much they had been through together when younger which allowed them to be able to judge what the other was thinking within reason.
Before either of them could open their mouth a car pulled up outside, and quickly someone got out, and carried a couple of things with them. The location was too dark enough to enable them to categorically be certain that it was CEO Lu, but they were hopeful. The fact that security simply waved this person through seemed to support this conclusion. Within a minute of him entering the footage broadcast to their location showed it was CEO Lu who had entered the building.
As they had confirmation of their main target for the night at their location, Lion contacted the other team and let them know that they could wrap up at their location when they liked. The footage he had seen earlier from inside indicated that there was no sign of any underage girls there nor anyone who would make a good target. It simply seemed to be tonight a venue used to take what money they could from the the public.
Watching the footage from inside the warehouse they were observing was getting interesting.
The two men who had gotten in earlier in the night returned to their location. They has quietly spoken to two seventeen-year-olds, who provided information that implicated some senior business mangers in using underage girls forced into prost.i.tution.
One spoke about how she signed a contract being an artist with Lu Corporation, and she had been forced into prost.i.tution after failing to develop as they required. Her contract required that if she failed to make the grade, a debt of all the money Lu Corporation had expended in her training had to be repaid.
When Lu Corporation terminated her contract she had two options. Repay the money immediately, or they would refer her somewhere else that could help her earn the money to repay the debt. Her family were a poor farming family, and there was no way that she had the money to pay it. SHe had to take he second option, but she had no idea what she was agreeing to.
It was only when she went to where she had been referred and signed the debt arrangement that she was told what she would be doing for a business which she understood had ties to CEO Lu. She was informed that she would be a s*x worked, and for each service performed there was a set amount paid towards her debt and the interest earned. It would cover the interest and little else. She confessed that she was aware that the debt agreement was legitimate and going to the police would see that they would still try to reinforce debt payment.
